By Telegraph to the Memphis Appeal
SALT LAKE, October SIN response to
repeated calls, Vice President Colfax sd-
dressed an immense crowd in front of the
T9wnsend House, in the course of which
he gave his views al length on the subject
of polygamy. He quoted the book of
Mormon, and proved at least to the salts
faction of his GENTLE auditors, that the
whole thing WAS illegal, and ought to be
abolished. He was followed by Gov.
Rr0ss, Of illiRois, who fully endorsed the
arguments and opinions ef the Vice Pres
ident. Such freedom of speech from such
a source, and on such subject, has never
before, it is claimed, been exercised in
this city. These gentlemen, 1t is said,
will be handled without mittens in the
Marmop Conference now In session In
this city.
Mr.. Colfsx and party, with the excep-
tion of Gov. Bross, LETT for the East on

That Remarkable Bell" tho Hum
mer Bell.

| That account Of the Iowa City Presby
terrain bell called to recollection some
very interesting and pleasing relics of
history. -There were some errors in that
account.
1t WAS not California emigrants that
| took the bell to Salt Lake City, for ii
WAS before the days that the United
States owned Caliturnia-about the year
1913. The bell was not hid in the Iowa
river, as many supposed at that time,
but ia a we'll on Philip Clark's farm
two miles south Of the City.
The history of that bell is very curl
Gus, and runneth thus: In the early
days OF Iowa City, at"ut ls4l, the Pres
by terians built fine large brick church,
at u great cost for them at that time; and
when the building WAS up and enclosed,
they took season of vacation in
their ardous task, and sent their talent

back money and the work was resumed.
He also bought y bell-the JeH-and re-

its pleasant and sanity tones to a de-

reverend and insanity minister, and
they excused him from his ministerial
labors with them. But he did not per-
nit the thought to enter his heart that
lie was not called to preach the gospel,
aud it was probable that he would want
the bell wherever he might be called, So
he got two or three men, aud ropes, and
assembled the unfinished belfry by
means Of ladders, to lower the bell to
the ground. With pedestrian speed the
news went through all the grass clad
and wooded streets VI the city, aud e.
fore the bell had time to leave its upper
deck, multitude Of most determined

Iowa Facts.
(From the iowa Homestead

| From the Iowa HOmestead.)
The States Of the west and Southwest
seek immigration by the high colored
pictures Of each Iowa never took pro-
cedence more truthfully than this year
Oats by their plentifulness, will bea drug
In the interior ut Yankee shilling q
bushel. The corn il of most luxuriant
growth, aud grasses, cultivated and ma
tive, are far in excess Ofthe wants of the
stock, the increase Of which animals
give our State the peculiar occasion FOR
Boosting.
The value Of live stock in Iowa in 1860
was $2l 900, 900; in 1866 it was S72,GOO,-
600. Three hundred and fifty per cent In
six years, during the four years Of which
one fourth of our agrculturalists had
gone to the war. Comparisons Will best
illustrate. The New England States,
Devnos. MornnHgNerinos and Downs,
have an advsnce IL my per cent. in the
same period, aud the t,.tal value of the
animals in five ~ these old States bu
little surpasses that Of the stock OF Iowa.
New York, with five times our popu-
lation has not half our prOportiOnate
value Of stock to population. Indiana,
the paradise Of swine, only leads us
few millions in the value of all stock.
Illinois, so successful in obtaining the
credit Of the beeves Of the Northwest, to
be the equal of Iowa should have val
uation OF $3.50, OOo, 900, but falls short Of
il $35. 100000. Wisconsin and Michigan
each surprising us in population by
loo, 900, fell behind Iowa in the value Of
live stock, the former, S24, OOO,0 and
the latter Sl9, 100000. Taking wealth rs
II basis our prominence among the
States Is still more apparent,
The legitimate deductions from these
facts are: First-we are enriching and
not impOverishing our soil as is done by
grain raising for expectation. Second
our people, in the care Of domestic ami
mails, find more time for recreation and
improvement than those engaged i'm
any other agricultural pursuits; Then
| the marvellous advance is ut once an ar
gument in behalf Of the sagacity and
care of our breeders and for the richness
Of our crops and cereal products and the
adoption Of our predoninating domestic
animal races.
The landless and the enterprsing will
not overlook these attractions of y State
where five sixths of the acres bear luxu.
RANT grass, uncIipped by a brute and
left for the autumnal fires, rs rich as the
one sixth whose occupants, in heathfu
cheer, have an invitation and wei

a home with the promise Of health
