Amused with Cost.

1t is doubtful if we spend as much
proportionately for real, substantive re-
creation as the people of any other civ
ilized nation; it is doubtful, indeed, if
We spend enough in that direction. But
We have a sad way Of making mobilize
ing them down with greenback pellets
and the more it requires to bring them
down, the more relishable they prove.
Thus the man of business pinches
himself and worries himself oil the win

and makes a grand dash at Long Branch
or Sharon, or the mountains, with full
trail OF band boxes, and women, and
portmanteaus, and over eats himself,
and sleeps in hot chamber, and talks
politics, and drinks sulphur water, and
is highly amused.
The question is, If this sharp, stimu-
lative. pestilent, worrying, full-blaze re-
creation would not be more serviceable
and relishable every way, if it were dis
tributed over larger portion of the
year, and provoked little greater Sc
renity and quietude. What if a man
should give an hour or two day to his
family, if he have any, or to his horses,

learn those simple, old fashioned snatch
es of song which lull babies to sleep,
and which stay the devil in old men.
We are we'll enough aware that man
will value, rationally-even in way of
amusement-what costs difficulty. But
are we not somewhat too much disposed
to master those difficulties only which
yield to money spending, and to count

1t is curious to notice how Brigham
Young's professions vary on various
occasions. 1t has been generally under
stood that he defended polygsmy upon
the ground Of special revelation from
God commanding its establishment !;
and yet in his recent palaver withJudgc
Trumbull. he said "Polygamy was not
originally part Of our system. but was
adopted by Us IS q necessity after we
came "here''. Not . word was said of
Devine commandment, but the Judge
was left to infer that the harem was set
on foot becauseU tab needed population.
In saying this. Young was probably con-
siderably moro sincere than il he had
treated Judge Trumbull to a nonsensical
discourse couched in some absurd par
ody of Scriptural phraseology. We
have no doubt that he has eight different
and::incompaltible arguments in support
Of his .system'-one for each Of the Sc
cular days Of the week and two for SIM
day. vnaa

THE Water OF SALT LAKs.-The
water of Salt Lake is SO dense that
man cannot sink in it. A gentleman
demonstrated this by standing upright
in the water, and without the least mo-
ton could not sink to the chin. He
could lie on the water, stand in it, take
almost any position still he would float
and could not sink. 1t is necesasy, af
ter swimming in this briny water to rinse
off with fresh. for the salt of the water
condenses on ones person, when dry,

POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

"Within the esuing ten days the poll
cysof the Administration regarding the
pending campaigns in the South will as.
sumo q more definite form, decide eddy
favorable to the anti-Deut Republicans
in Mississippi, and the Davis Radicals
J in Texas. There can be no mistake
about this as it comes directly from the
President himself to radical Mis- sissip
pi Republican, who sought an interview
with him at Secretary Fish's home on
the II hudson, for the purpose of learning
something definite regarding the pros
poets of his party. He reports that the
President was sufficiently emphatic in
his denunciations of the Dent movement
to satisfy him that the moral influence il
not the active political power, Of the
Administration will be used against
Dent.
.'Presiden Grant is reported to have
written letter to Dent, advising him
not to have any thing to do with the new
Conservative mOvemc nt, and finally ask
ing him not to accept the nomination
for Governer,if it is rendered to him by
that party. This letter must now be in
Judge Dents possession. aa sf u5s
The President is also reported to
have expressed doubt as to the sincerity
OF the new found allegiance of tho
Southern Democrats to the Republican
party, and to have declared that the re-
fusal Of theConservative Republicans in
Virginia to accept the offer Of concil-
alton made by the Radicals, is sufficient
proof that their ultimate object is ex-.
tinction Of the Republican party. In
short, he looks npon the refusal as An
act which re- establishes the old party
lines in the South and hereafter will
treat Co nservatives - Democrats. In
other words, having tried q perlous ex
pertinent in Virginia, and proved the
dishonesty Of the Southern leaders. he
will, in the future, profit by his expcri-
ence, and trust only in men whose Re-
publicanis m is assured by acts already
performed, rather than by promises for
the future.''-C,n. Comsaerciol v -..,r.s

An odd instance OF the power of
"cloirvoyance'' recently occurred in
Providence, r. j. An unfortunate lady
lost pearl of great price. 'Clairvoyant'
No. l said it was in the ash barrel. -
"Clairvoyant" No. 2 said it was in the
yard. The ashes arc sifted and still no
peral! The yard is searched, and no
peral ! Finally, the missing gem is
sought without the aid OF 'clairvoyance,'
under the kitchen floor, and is found.
Now, if either No. or No. 2 had made
good guess-there being one chance
in several million Of such happy con-
jecture-thcre would have been ninety

would all have believed and trem bled,
who would have talked nonsense about
the sweet, forescent, sempitcrnal spheres
and have expected the noisiest evening
visits from their great-grand mother.
