AsnAmEn OF ONES NAME.

When one starts in life his name is
mere convenience, but not a symbol. 1t
serves to distinguish between man and man,
end is, as it were, handle by which We
seize one man rather than another. But,
in process of time, by the law of associa-
ton, we cluster about mans name all the
circumstances of his history, the elements
OF his character, the prominent traits of his
disposition. The name becomes history.
The moment that it is sounded in our ears
We do not think of the name itself, but of a
life, personality, and character. In fact,
the name is portrait painted in letters.
What is specially curious, is, that to its
wearer the name may suggest one train of
association, but to all others another, diff
ferent, and often a repugnant idea. 1t
would be a curious literature If one could
put in parallel lines what each man thought
of himself and what all other men thought
of him.
No person should be ashamed of his
name. No person should ask for anything
without being willing 20 take the re-
sponsibility of the request. The habit of
standing up frankly TO ONES own actions,
opinions, or feelings and taking the proper
personal responsibility belonging to every
thing concerning his own personality, is
manly and wholesome. If We were writing
letters. like Lord Chesterfield, 20 a son, we
should say, never write any letter that You
are unwilling to sign. If there are reasons
which make it improper for you TO give
your name, then you should not write at
all. | will not say that there are nsrsr
cases in which anonymousness is permissa-
Bile. But they are rare and extreme eases.
In general it is a safe rule of conduct, not
to do anything to which one is unwilling
to put his name. A good name is better han
great richfs. The habit of acting in all
things frankly, openly, courageously, and
of taking the consequences Of ones theughts
and actions, cannot fail to result, in indi
yiduals and in communities, 10 a high and
noble type of manhood
Therefore, Heper write anonymous let

FEFFERsoN's FTDDLE-The wife OF
Thomas Jefferson was Mrs. Martha Shell
ton, rich widow, twenty-three at her
second nuptiais. She was of good family,
beautiful, accomplished aud greatly adj
mired. The story went that two, among
the many suitors for her hand, going sew
orally 10 her honse on the same errand to
learn their fate from her decision, met in
the hall, where they heard her playing ON
the harpsichord and singing love-song,
| accompanied by Jefierson's voice and gio-
lin. Something in the song or the man
ner of the singing satisfied both wOoers of
the folly Of their hopes, and they with~
/ drew. The statesman was fond of his vio-
lin. When his psternal home was burned
he asked, :" Are all the books destroyed p
Yes, massa," vas the reply, dey is
bui We saved de fiddle. "-Quseas Of Amfr-

A NORMAN ELECTION.


How she Voting is Done and by whom.
There is a contest for the seat in Con-
gress as delegate from Utah territory,
in which, a Washington correspondent
states, the following has been elected
Numerous affidavits taken in regard to
the matter show that Norman election is
conducted in a very peculiar manner. The
Bishops of the church serve as judges of the
elections. The voters appear at the polls
and give their names, instead of ballots, to
the Bishops, who then select from the piles
of tickets before them such as they (the
Bishops) choose.
The contestant claims he can prove that
minors are allowed to vote; that the names
of persons absent in Europe have been
given TO the judges and been received by
them; that votes have been put into the
ballot boxes for women and that large
majority of all votes cast in Utah are given
by persons of foreign birth, who haveneyer
been naturalized.
The contestant claims he can prove that
seven-eighths of the population is foreign
born, the total population being estimated
at about fifty thousand. OF this it is esti.
mated that there are about FIVE thousand
| American born Mormons, and some twelve
| hundred American citizens not Mormons.
The records of the United States Courts
show some significant facts regarding the
feeling of the Mormons upon the question
of becoming naturalized.
! The testimony of the officers of these
courts is to the effect that the church au-
| thorities advised against naturalization
| during the war, az it would make those
| who became citizens liable to the various
| drafts Since the war, the advice has been
as earnest on the other side, and the reason
| given is that it is well to be able to take
advantage of the homestead law.
In the first Judicial district made up o.
seven Of the middle counties, no spplica-
tons were made for naturalization papers
during the years 1868, 1864, and 1865. IL
| 1866 about seventy became citizens.
| Ia the third district, containing ter
counties, and including Salt Lake City, only
one hundred and two have been made citi
! zens since 1862.
In the second district, comprising four
counties, about six have been naturalizeC
since 1868.
The best estimates that have been formed
of the number of naturalized citizens il
the territory of Utah, places it at less thar
ten thousand, and yet over fifteen thousand
votes were returned az cast for the sitting
delegate.
The legal vote of the territory il esii
mated by United States officers to be about
two thousand, of which some seventeen
hundred are American-born or naiuralizeC

MoMEN.s VENERATInN.

IL women have one weakness more
marked than men, it is towards veneration.
They are born worshiprers-mskers of
silver shrines for some divinity or other,
which Of course they always think fell
straight down from heaven. The first step
towards falling in love with an ordinary
mortal is generally to dress him ont with
all manner of real or tancied superiority !;
and having made him mp, they worship
him. Now, truly great man, man real
ly grand and noble in art and intellect, has
this advantage with women, that he is an
idol ready made TO hand, and 80 that very
painstaking and ingenious sex have less
iabor in getting him mp, aud can be ready to
Worship him on shorter notice. In partic-
ulAris this the case where sacred profession
and a moral supremacy are added 10 the an
tellectual. just think Of the career OF cel~
ebrated preachers and diyines in all ages.
Have they not stood like the images Ne
huchadnezzar the king set up;" and all
womankind coquettes and hirts not except
ed, been ready 20 fall down and worship,
| even before the sound of cornet, flute, harp,
| sachut, etc. Is not the faithful Paula, with
| her beautiful face, PROSTATE in reverence,
before poor old, lean haggard, dying St
Jerome, in The most splendid painting Of
the world, an emblem and sign OF
woman's external power Of sel-sacI1fce to
what she deems noblest in man ? Does net
old Richard Baxter tell IA, with delightful
| single-heartedness, how his wife fell in love
| with him first, in spite Of his long pale
face; aud how she confessed, dear soul,
after many years Of married life, that she
had found him less hitter aud sour than
she expected The fact is, women are
burdened with fealty, faith, reverence,

A NEGRO SOLDIER SHOT AFTER ESCAPING
FROM TEE GUARD.-The Wilmington Journal
of Frlday last says: The train on the Whining
ton and Manchester Railroad yesterday morn
ing brought to the city detachment OF SOL
diers with number Of prisoners in charge.
which they we're conveying from Charleston to
Fort Macon. Among the prisoners when they
started from Charleston were two negro SOL
diesr uf Company c, Fortieth Regiment, who
had been tried for desertion and sentenced 70
imprisonment in Fort Macon. When the
train was one mile this side of Registers De-
pot, aud about eight miles from the city, these
two soldiers were escorted to private saloon
of the car by the guard, and jumped through
the window While the train was in motion.
This fact was reported and the train stopped,
and two Of the guard (both negro soldiers)
left behind to capture the escaped parties, if
possible About an hour afterwards while
concealed by the side of the road, they OBJ
served the very parties they were in search Of
coming down the track. The guard both lev
elled their muskets and fired. One OF the
prisoners, named Jerry Gales, was struck and
almost instantly killed: the ball entering his
side and passing almost through the body.
The other prisoner was untouched, and TUNED
and fed. He was pursued and finally surren-
dered, fearing to be shot. The captured
prisoner and the dead body were both brought
to the city on hand car, and the circumstan-
ces OF the case reported to the Post Command
ant.
