Bacor, OF EdgefeId, S. c., the hero OF
the Georgia scenes, under the name of
Ned Brace" was once counting a lady
in Georgia or Carolina. She had refused
him frequently, and lie as, often renewed
his suit. At one interview she BECAME
extremely annoyed at his importantly,
and told him that she could not marry
him; that their tastes, opinions, likes and
dislikes were totally different, f" In fact"
said she, "Mr. Bacon, l don't think
there is one subject on earth upon which
we agree"
81 assure you madam, that you are
mistaken" said Mr.. Bacon, and l can
prove it."
If you vii! mention one thing about
which we agree" said she. Il will
marry YOU"
Well" said Mr.. Bacon, " I will do it.
Suppose, now, you and L were travelling
together; we arrive at a hotel, and there
ale only two beds vacant; in one there is
a man, and the other a woman-which
would you sleep in!'
She rose Indignantly, and replied,
"With the woman, of course, sir"
$50 would J." earnestly responded
Mr.. Bacon.

the country con show more courteous or gentle

army matters have been somewhat sifted down,
you know, and fancy that good many youths,
who once aired themselves ON the shell here
as iesuve staf officers or aids, in times gone by.
would have long since fallen through the seive

In short would say that the tone and discipline,

are admirable-creditable both to themselves and
the army.

now gone TO Rockaway, on the south side Of Long

his wife and brothers. His wife is a good.looking
woman, and dresses in the complete Quaker style,
very neat and plain. She was from Nantucket.
Her father was rich, and il was by his means that
Jacob got established in business. being of poor
family himself. Mr. Hazard. his wife's father, and
his uncle, placed him with Isaac Hicks, a respect.

A BILL FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF MoRMoSrsw
A Washington special of the 9th to the N. Y
Herald, says: Some time of the same committee
was devoted to the discussion of Senator Crarin,s
bill TO regulate the social judicial and political
affairs of Utah Territory. The bill provides that
only citizens of the United States shall be COM
peteDt TO act as grand snd petit Jurors that no
man shall take unto himself more than one wife
that all commissions and appointments, both civil
and military. granted by Brigham Young, shall
cease and have no effect after the first of next
year that il shall be unlawful for the officers or
members of the Church Of Latter Day Saints to
grant divorces or solemnize marriages and that
all the acts and ordinances of Brigham's govern
ment done in the name Of the Church as trustee
granting lands and streams Of the Territory. and
which in any way interfere with the primary ala.
posal OF the soil by the United States, are disap
proved and snnulled, and that no restriction Of
any Kind shall be placed on the free use of the hall
lot nor any arts practiced 70 mark the votes Of
citizens. The bill is very long. and is deemed bv
some members Of the committee rather too des
potic in some of its provisions. The clause pro-
hioiting the granting of United States lands nv
Brigham Young in trust for the use of the Church
to his friends and relatives is considered eminentIv
proper but 1t Is thought better to treat these mat
tiers affecting the religion OF the Mormons with aa
much delicacy as possible. Several amendments
on this head will be made on Saturday in commit
Tee, and In the meantime Nr. Cragin will preoara
40 elaborate speech on the whole vexed Question
OF Utah and its peculiar nstitution for delivery in
the Senate after the presentation of his bill.
