premature, and mushroom. Scores of other upstart towns west, must suffer collapse. The supreme humbug of all this country Is the Military and Indian affairs. There IS no more desire on the part of the government officials for winding up the Indian affairs, than there is for an earthquake. There is myriad of demoralized officers, ravenous con tractors, suckers, and strikers, whose subsist- ence depends upon the opportunities offered by the military follies perpetrated. for them to steal a living if not fortunes. The general government has changed its sex, and now is but an old granny with lazy, pusillanimous set of brats for children, officials to do her re- luctant and stupid bidding. If Grant would send one good honest man here, shOd with a pair of square-toed boots, that would kick about thirty military asses into the river, ex- penses would be much lessened, and Aunt Sam's honor improved But, fear that the government has irretrievably fallen into the hands of Goddess politicians, and soulless cor porations, that will bring it to a catastrophe and final upshot This is inevitable, unless there is right about face, or flank move ment soon.
 For, what with the Ethiopian in the South and the Chinaman too--the women's rights women in the North-snd Brigham Young on the Divide, the future of the country looks rather squally, especially in BrghAm's department. Our American women, this way, are not only determined that they won't have anything to do with children, but they are resolved to vote, and do as the men do, in all respects. Marriage is quite as common as usual, but divorces are more numerous than anything else. In Chicago, couples that live together two years after marriage are do- ing remarkably we'll Here, the time is about three years. At the present rate the matri- monial affairs of this country will be like the old fashioned dances--a change of part ners all round. Divorced women are as thick out west as huckleberries in tamArack swamp, and fully as sweet and pickable. A couple can get unyoked as easily as they can take of their soiled garments-because there ain't any longer any children to quarrel about. Some of our M. D.'s and D. D.'s are making great fuss about the domestic affairs of the country, for they have discovered that the race of Americans are destined to run out. American families have fallen of in the num- Der of their children, from Va to hree, while the families of foreigners have gained from seven to twelve. There is no doubt but that these things are about so in the older States But what of it7-there is, some how, as large crop of children growing as we can take care Of in this country-our poor-houses, asylums and orphan houses are full of them. Besides if we can't raise bet. ter stock than we are getting from American
 breeds, why let's import an improved kind
 Our own kind mature too quick, and then
 the cost of raising is too though
 we are getting up the female part very ele. gantly-with a tolerable frame, We have ele. gant ladies made to order. Wool, cotton,
 hair, gutta- -percha, paste, paint and numerous other materials, now enter largely into the structure of first class woman. VAC. ka n-1
