How thew do things in Mormondom.

The San Francisco Chronicle of recent date, gives
rather sensational article, from which make ex-
tract or
"Tbere is a romance sensational romance, il
YOU will-underlying the appearance OF Joseph A.
Young in San Francisco 1t is said that he has come
in pursuit of young lady who not long ago made her
escape from Salt Lake City The lady is pretty, at
tractye vvacious accomplished, and possesses extra
ordinary talent actress, though that talent has
never been illustrated anywhere except the boards
of Briebams theatre at Salt Lake But though lovely
and Young she had strong objections to becoming Mrs
Young When the Saints broughta powerful pressure
upon her to induce her to be sealed and solemnly
assured her that she would be damned if she didt
She replied that she would be id if she did" Ac-
cordingly as she wouldn't marry, she had to get out
of Utah She came to California, and Joseph after
her. Our fnancers bankers merchants and newspa-
per men have been led to believe that Joseph came
here on business connected with the Utah Central rail-
road and he has been extensively feted and dned apd
wned in consequence of that mpression-our hospita
BILE and dsinerested merchants being beguled by the
pleasing illusion that their attentions to this scion OF
the Brigham dynasty might possibly result in the in
crease Of trade beweenthe city of the Saints at Salt
Lake and the city of Sinners at San Francisco"
Hearing of the appearance of the young gent in San
Francisco, and knowing that he had her, instead of
business in bis head the lady refused appear the
that she would be permitted succeed the San
Francisco stage. 1t appears that instead of having
been entrusted with any business by his aectionate
parent the is regarded home lost sheep and
prodigal son. At all events, he returned empty
handed to his fathers habtation. 90 no, not for
Joseph" The young lady is thus sketched:
Though brought up from her childhood in the midst
of Mormon society and under Mormon Influences Miss
Alexander always entertained strong repugnance to
Mormon IDEAS Having decided talent for the stage
and early developed taste for acting she was induced
to appear at Brighams theater. She made her debut
in the character Of Matilda Peppercorn in the farce Of
Marriage at any Price," in October, 1858. Her
beauty, grace and vyacity, together with the talent
she manifested made her first attempt complete sue
cess. Several of the Mormon magnates fell desper-
ately in love with her, and she Immediately became
the victim of attentions" and prosecutions which she
could not have resisted had she possessed remark
able strength Of character and had not Brigham him
SELF who admired her talents and considered her an in
dispensbe ornament of his pet tbeater, extended
her certain measure of protection. At length, how
ever the pressure brought to bear upon her became
so strong that she obliged to make her escape
from the city of Saints.

Ere the charms of earth could lure

With the love-light in her eye

Then we thought our darling dying;
When the dampness gathered Ger her,
And the winds were moaning, signing
When we felt the low soft futter
Of her breath upon our cheek,
Felt the fear we could not utter,
Could not utter then speak;
Sat we then and watched her breathing,
Smoothed the dark folds of her hair,
While our hearts were breaking, seething
In the cadron of despair.
But now we know our darling's sleeping,
Sweetly sleeping for awhile,
And we've put the robes about her
That she wore-a joyous bride;
Left the gold band on her finger,
Placed by one with love and pride

Round her lips and bout her eye;
Paused-with anguish deep, to wreste-
Kissed the angel bride-good bye.

How TO IMPROVE CoTToN.-An observer writes in
the Brandon Miss Republican that second stand of
cotton comes up few days after the first and that in
few days more third stand would appear, but that
generally before this time the cotton is thinned out
leaving the first stand to mature for crop 1t is also
stated that this first stand comes from the black lint
less seed, the second stand from seed with more lint
and the third, which should be saved and cultivated
from thick heavy Tinted seed. The plan for securing
this last growth is thus given:
Plant your seed any way you prefer cover with
pillow (smal) let the ridge stand When the first is IN
good, run broad or light harrow over it so as to kill
the first growth, and if done the same way with the
second growth that comes up much the better then
the last that up will bear seed after its own kind
and upon the seed good long staple lint and by so
dong In lew Years cotton would be greatly improved

THE BAPTIST AND PREsBYTER1AN.-1n nearly all
newspaper stories of the Baptist they represented
as coming off second best, but inclined to think
the Baptist got rather the better of the Presbyterian in
the following:
In one.of the ViIlagesof Kentucky, recently Bap-
tist minister and young Presbyterian clergyman
preached in the same house, night about both preach
ers being present each meeting. One evening the
Presbyterian after discourse infant baptism, pro-
ceeded 20 baptise several babes The little candidates
made great cutlery, which, of course, was noted by
the Baptist man Next day number of the converts
of the latter we're be immersed in the river by
At the appointed hour large concourse gathered on
the banks the Presbyterian being of the number, and
standing close the waters edge After the candi-
dates had been immersed the Baptist took hold of his
Presbyterian colleagnetand said.
CHOW sir | will immerse you"
The latter, amazed demurred.
'Come along am in hurry' replied the damp
divine, and dragged his brother into the water.
Alarmed and indignant, the young CalVinistic de-
cared at the top of his voice that be did mot believe
in immersion; opposed to it and would not SUBJ
nit to it."
The audience much excited by the scene. The
Baptist released his hold and said:
'Young man, i will not immerse you to-day; but if
ever again you hapsng little ones against their
own will and spite Of their cries and kicks, as saw
you do last night will dip you iEto the water snre's
there's God in Israel! You bet Let us pray"

CATERPLLLARs.-Dur the week several planters
have reported the presence of caterpars in very small
numbers in their fields and few have been brought
to town There is doubt that these are the genu-
inc desroyers, III their second stage; but under the
influence of the prevailing hot and dry weather, there
can be no reasonable fear that the crop will be mate
rally reduced by them this year. In this connection
we have request to make Of our friends who find
these pests in their fields. Having found salt destruc-
tive to insect life in experiments made several
years ago, should be glad if others would test it on
the caterpillar. Our suggestion is that moderately
strong brine be made and sprinkled on fresh cotton
leaves a dozen or two drops Oh each. When dry,
feed the leaves to caterpillars kept glass jar and
note the result If it proves successful we would have
cheap and accessible antdote to their ravages which
might be applied to large fields. Try it.

The Democratic State conventions in California and
Ohio engrafted in their platform of principles strong
and emphatic resolutions in favor of the rights Of
the workngmen-in both instances taking ground in
favor OF the reduction Of the hours of labor the en-
argement Of the privileges and elevation of the labor
ing classes. This furnishes striking contrast with
practical workings of the Republicans since they have
been in power The legislation of that party has had
the effect toncrease the burdens of the working classes
and reduce the value of the compensation which they
received for their labor In every section of the coun-
try the democracy are taking sides with the masses
against the rule of the privileged classes who are la
boring TO add to their wealth aud power at the
expense OF the laboring classes. [R Y World

RApIDEs.-The Democrat of the 2lst is disposed to
ridicule the caterpillar excitement Hear it,
We have again to report crops Of cotton and
cane as doing well, remarkably wel-and the corn
crop, now considered made is an average half one.
On some places fodder pulling has commenced Last,
though not least sign trace Of the dreaded cat

little bit to pander to the whims of few, who seem
bent the destruction of the cotton crop of Rapdes
and who have caterpillar the brain. few of
these worms socaled, have been gathered with pecu-
liar care, by famed ex-Lieutenant Colonel Of the
Tanglefoot Brigade and safely packed an old pickle
jar and taken around for exhibition gratis Whether
genuine ones or not we cannot say but this was suf

The New \ ork Tribune commenting on the nomi-
nation of Gen. Rosecrans by the Democrats of Ohio
for Governor, says that he has done some THINGS
which go far to prove his feelings better than his udg
ment.' The general who, after a battle buried the
dead of his enemy and ordered his soldiers to fire
salute over their graves because they fought brasev
will do for Governor almost anywhere. His .feei,
ings can be trusted, and if his judgment is not per
iect, history will excuse him while recording his hon
ofahie deeds Some owe their greatness to their
souls rather than to t,er ,.it,ds
Elsewhere the Tribune saws: "If the only choice
lies between a corrupt Republican and an upright
Democrat vote for the Democrat"

following from the Wilmington journal of the I'd,
The importance of the decision of the Supreme
Cont in regard to the validity of bond given for the
purchase OF negro in 1864, and settling the question:
50 far as North Carolina is concerned of the date of
emancipation, caused US to give it in full yesterday
morning, although only received by the mail the night
before. This decision is very important one to our
people, and must decide many similar disputes
Emancipation vas accomplished, according to the
Supreme Court, BY the action of the convention of
1865, aud not by the proclamation of President Lin
coin, sanaary l, 1863, the order of Gen. Sherman

For the South Western.
Presbyterian and Baptist, Agaim.-It is cheerfully
admitted that the Baptist got the laugh on the Presby
teran in the anecdote related by you yesterday. The
following will at least rebuff the argument though the
PRESBYTERIAN bad nothing to do with it,
The Rev. Mr.. NJ. had been holding protracted
meeting for some days in of the eastern parishes
of this State, assisted by missionary of the same
of his labors At the close of the meeting thirty per-
mersed 1t was agreed between the minister's Mr. NJ
and Uncle Davy, that they should each baptse al
ternately; and for this purpose they both went down
into the water, Mr. M. somewhat in advance of Uucle
Davy. Mr.. NJ led lady into the water, who shud-
dered considerably as the water rose around her.
"Don't be alarmed" said Mr. NJ, there is no dam.
ger" But as the water became deeper she became
more fearful and at last broke away from Mr. NJ and
was making her way to dry land, when Uncle Davy
caught her, and by main force plunged her head-fore
most under the WATER repeating at the time the
solemn words, :" baptse thee" &c. She darted like
pike from his hands, rose to her feet and made her
escape. Was she immersed willingly or not?
