The Peabody Obseauies In Westminster
Abbey.

Abbey.
George Peabody, the American merchant In
early days, the London banker in the maturity
and the decay of his life, and from first to last
the universal benefactor of his kinda man
as cosmopolitan in his charity as he was
great of heart-has been laid to his temporary
rest in that grand old cathedral where sleep
queens, and mobiles and statesmen, soldiers and
poets who have been deemed worthy the ex-
allied honor of tomb or statue In Westmin-
ster Abbey. The fact in itself would amount
to little were it not for the spirit which ami
mated the homage thus designed to be rendered
by both Queen and people to a great and noble
hearted citizen of America and bountiful
benefactor to England. In both Of these capa-
cities the character of George Peabody was
evidently appreciated. 1t was at the request
of the Queen herself that these solemn cere-
monies took place in Westminster Abbey, thus
indicating the appreciation of the deceased
which she had always manifested in his life
time. The royal presence was represented at
the funeral-as on all such occasions when the
most prominent British subject is conveyed to
the tomb-by her Majestys private secretary,
General Gray, the royal carriage and that of
the Prince of Wales followed the hearse; and,
indeed, in every way that honor could be done
to the occasion by the royal family, there was
nothing wanting.
Among the mourners were the Prime Minis
ter, Mr.. Gladstone; the Foreign Secretary,
Lord Clarendon John Bright, the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs Of London and the adjoining coun-
ties and many of the most distinguished men
in the British metropolis. When the body was
laid in the temporary receptacle we are told
that "foral cross" was laid upon the coffin.
From whose hand did this graceful tribute
come? Was 1t not the last offering from sove-
reignty itself? We know that up to the last
hour of Mr.. Peabody's life the Queen was most
solicitous concerning his declining health, and
had be lived little longer she would proba-
bly, have been present at his deathbed. At all
events we know that her affection for his
character lives beyond the final hour Of disso-
luton, or the ceremonies in Westminster
Abbey would have been q mockery. The last
honor to the dead is the offer to convey the
remains on board war vessel-the Inconstant
being ordered for that service. Our Navy
Department has very properly telegraphed by
cable to Admiral Radford, commanding the
American feet in Europe, to detail war ship
for the same melancholy service. It is pre-
sumed that the American war ship will act as
a convoy to the British man-of-war. Admiral
Radford will, of course, act with becoming
delicacy in assisting at the friendly offices Of
the British Queen and government in convey
ing to his native land the remains of our late
estimable countryman.

result In Utah az it has ever done elsewhere.
There will be Luthers and Zuingliuses and
Hyacinthes to disturb the equanimity Of the
Prophets state, and mayhap bring the trouble
to such focus that the whole polygamic insti-
tuition will have to 60 down before long. This
would not be matter Of serious regret to the
Gentle world. The abomination should be
extinguished by Congress at its next session,
whatever may be done in Utah. When the
republican party declared, In 1854, against
these "twin relics of barbarism," slavery and
polygamy, they forgot the latter in their eager
ness to obtain political capital by wiping out
slavery. Having done that efectually, it is
time that they should turn their attention to
Brigham Young's monstrous doctrine. This
may now probably be done without cruelty or
the exercise of force. The times in Utah are
evidently out of joint, and in the existing divi-
sons we may find an opportunity to get rid of
the obnoxious polygamic portion of the COM
munity by letting them 60 off to the Sandwich
Islands or the Feejee Islands or whitherso-
ever they please outside of our territory.
The industrious population among the Nor
mons might be retained in the Great Salt Lake
valley. They are useful members of the COM
munity, who could be made auxiliary to the
progress of the vast Western Continent through
which the Pacific Railroad is to carry the COM
merce Of the country between the two oceans.
Mormon industry and appreciation Of free
speech and thought belong to our civilization.
Brigham Young's beastly polygamc system
belongs to the Dark Ages, with which we have
no sympathy or alliance. Let him begone
with it, then, to the Cannibal Islands or the
Internal regions, and the sooner the better.
Congress has clear case to act upon in the
determination of this abominable excrescence
upon the social and political body, and never
was there better time to act than now, In
view Of the internal dssensions prevailing
among the Mormons themselves. If the Often
sive features of the Mormon creed are not
abolished peacefully by Congress the whole
race will probably ere long be exterminated by
the white settlers and will become scattered
and hunted tribes like the red men.

The Mormon TroubIe-A Case for Com

The recent rebellious developments in the
dominion of Brigham Young look to be Of o
more serious character than might have been
supposed from the simple detection Of few
literary men, who proclaimed their indepen-
dence of the Prophet, and are disposed to
defy the communicative thunders Of the
Salt Lake Vatican. 1t is evident, from the
current which events are taking In Mormon
dom, that q revolution is seething there
which, If 1t does not lead to an open rupture
between Young and his people-threatening
perhaps, an exodus Of the chief and his favor
ite followers to the Sandwich Islands or some
other haven of refuge-may, at least, sap the
foundations of the Prophets government and
probably materially change the leading prin-
ciples of that peculiar religion which has
heretofore cemented this extraordinary body
Of people into unit. Although the question
at issue between President Young and his
recusant subjects touches not polygamy
directly just now, more dangerous subject,
one which lies at the bottom of nearly all rev.
olutions which have any vital force-namely,
freedom Of speech, the right to think and to
publish spoken thoughts-is the theme which
has begun by accommodation on the one
hand and is followed by defiance on the other
"To honestly differ with the priesthood in
any Of their measures is apostacy" is the de-
cree Of Brigham and the elders. eff It be So
then am an apostate," replies the cxcomma-
nicated editor Of the Utah Magazine, and his
colleagues make like confession; for they do
not see everything with the ecclesiastical eye
and do very seriously differ with the priesl
hood. Now, all this conflict between ecclesjsy,

Our Religious Charitle> =.

We published yesterday descriptions OF two
institutions in this city and vicinity which for
beneHcent purposes and practical operatlS1u
cannot be much excelled by any metropolis Ia
the world. We allude to the Home for Found
lings In East Twelfth street, and the Protscto-
ries for boys and girls in Westchester county.
The former institution, which is under the man
agement Of the Sisters of Charity, stands as q
bulwark against the advancing tide Of the
shocking crime Of child murder, which has
been so long a scourge in the community and
bosom of destruction to the minds of the
young females Of the metropolis. If this class
must err it is at least an amelloration Of cir
cumstances that the sin of incontinence is not
followed by the horrible crime of infanticide.
The police returns show that since the Homo
for Foundlings has opened It's doors to the poor
waits and strays of infancy this crime has
greatly diminished, and in many districts 1t
has wholly disappeared
The Catholic Protectories, which were estab-
lished by the late Dr. L. Siliman Ives, were
incorporated by the Legislature in 1868, and
are located about fifteen miles from the city,
in Westchester county. One branch Is de-
voted to the care of girls and Is in charge
of the Sisters of Charity; the other, which
less boys, is in charge of the Christian
Brothers. The inmates of these institutions
are poor children, who are either picked
up in the streets, homeless and parent
less, or arrested for vagrancy or on minor
charges of larceny, resulting from want and
hunger. Here they are protected from evil soci-
ETY., their minds are trained in morality and re-
lgion, and their worldly comforts are attended
TO until they are old enough to take care Of
themselves. What praise is necessary to give
value to such noble charities as these? Their
object, as well as their results, speak elo-
quently for them. New York is, indeed grand
and liberal in all its charities. There is no
limit to the princely donations for the allevia-
ton of human misery contributed by the gen.
crosby of this public. And surely there are
no charities more worthy of support than those
where helpless children are snatched from the
vicious atmosphere of large city and trans
formed into virtuous and useful citizens.
The FASHIONS special weekly report
of the dress fashions and styles of costume
prevailing in Europe, more particularly in
Paris and on the Continent published this
morning, is dated at Marseilles on the Goth
ultimo. The fashionable world" had turned
its face towards Egypt, and Its members and
devotees were streaming in crowds to Alexan-
dria, Suez and Constantnople. The writer
records this fact besides sketching land scenes
en- route, and describing the peculiar styles Of
costume prevailing in Marseilles, and furnish
ing some interesting notes on the ton of that
city as differing from that observed in Paris.

the men advancing and taking out a
slip, and, If it proved to be blank,
taking their places in another part Of
the room.
The drawing had proceeded for some
time, and fully third of the officers had
exchanged gloomy looks Of apprehension
for relieved aspect they couldnot avoid
showing, after escape from such terrible
peril, before fatal death slip had been
drawn. AT the end of about this period
however, the first slip was drawn, and the
name of Capatin Henry w. Sawyer Of
the 1st New Jersey Cavalry" was called
out as the unfortunate man. The cap
tain was, of course, deeply agitated, but
did not lose his selfpossession. He i'm
mediately began revolving in his mind
some plan for averting, or at least post
poning the immediate carrying out of the
sanguinary edict of the Rebel Govern
ment, and by the time thathe was Joined
by his companion in misfortune, who
turned out to be Captain Flynn of an
Indiana regiment, he had resolved upon
his course. The officer in command, as
soon as the drawing was completed, or
dered the two men to be taken out and
Immediately executed. Captain Sawyer
demanded, however, as request that no
civilized nation could refuse under such
circumstances, that he should have per-
mission to write to his wife, to inform her
of the terrible fate that awaited him, and
to have her come on and bid him an eter-
nal farewell. Respite for a day or two
was thus obtained, and Sawyer subse-
quently obtained an interview with the
Rebel Secretary of War, and obtained
permission to write to his wife, which he
did. His object in writing to her was
principally for our Government to be
made acquainted with the predicament
in which the officers were placed, and to
secure hostages and threaten retaliation
should the order of the rebels be carried
out. 1t turned out precisely as Sawyer
hoped and expected. Our Government
was informed of the condition of affairs,
and promptly seized son of Gen. Lee
and one of some other prominent rebel,
and threatened to hang them if the I'm
ion officers were executed. By this means
the lives of the two doomed men were
saved, as the Confederate Government
did not dare to carry out their threats.
After few months more confinement,
Captain Sawyer was exchanged. Capt.
Flynn, his companion in misfortune,
came out Of the ordeal with his hair as
white as snow; turned gray by the men,

THRILLING INcIDENT-DRAwINa LOTS
FOR DEATH.
Col. Henry w. Sawyer. who has late
ly been appointed Superintendent of the
life-saving apparatus on the New Jersey
coast, once passed through very peril
GUS adventure. He was among the Fed
eral prisoners in Libby Prison at the
time when the Confederate Government
determined to retaliate in kind the exc
cution of two..rebel officers by one of our
Western Generals. Mr.. Sawyer was at
that time Captain IN the LIST New Jer.
sey Cavalry, and was of the grade of
officers from whom selections were to be
made for the victims to Confederate ven
geance. The officer who was in charge
of the prisoners at that time, was kind.
hearted and agreeable man, and was re-
garded by them with feelings of graft
tude and affection. On the morning in
question this officer entered the room
where the prisoners were confined, and
told all the officers 70 walk out into an.
other room. This order was obeyed with
particular alacrity, as the prisoners were
daily expecting to be exchanged, and it
was supposed that the order had arrived,
and that they were about to exchange
their prison quarters for home and free
dom. After they had all gathered in
the room, their countenances lighted up
with this agreeable hope, the officer came
in among them, and with very grave
face took paper out of his pocket and
told them that he had very melan-
choly duty to perform, the purport of
which would be better understood by the
reading of the order he held in his hand
which he had just received from the
War Department. He then proceeded
to read to the amazed and Mortified
group an order for the immediate execu-
zion of t~o of their number, in retalia-
ton for the hanging of two Confederate
officers. As the reader ceased, the men
looked ut each other with blapched
faces, and silence like death prevailed
for some minutes In che room. The Con.
tederate officer then suggested that per
haps the better way would be to place

whole number of officers from whom fhe
