family of Judge Ryan have recently
met with a sad bereavment in the death
of his little daughter Fannie at the
Convent at Natchitoches, after short

But short time since she was sent to
the Convent at Natchitoches for its ed

explain this by saying that their peo-
pie are generally poor and exposed to
hardships, but much OF that poverty is
directly traceable to their religion. An
other sad fact is the general neglect of
medical care, or rather tendency to run
to wild and absurd schemes of doctor
ing. They claim that laying on Of
hands and the prayer of faith will heal
the sick, and yet no people within my
knowledge are so given to Thomson
ianism, steam doctoring," "yard-
medicine" and every other irregular
mode of treating the sick. But few
days ago three young children died in
the seventeenth ward Of scarlet fever
In neither case was a physician called
the bishop came and laid on hands, with
the holy anOinting, and an old woman
treated two Of them with mild pallia-
tive, such as is used for sore throat.
If the patients live, after such treat
ment, it is miracle and if they die, it
is the will of the Lord" Two-thirds
of the polygamists do not and cannot
attend properly to their children Heber
O. Kimball had sixty-three sons, of
whom only forty eight are now living.
The bishop Of our ward, the Fourteenth,
has thirty children living, and nearly
twenty dead Joseph Smith had half a
dozen spiritual wives but two sons
survived him-both of his legal wife.
There are five men in this city who
have, together, seventy wives they
have, ali told, less than a hundred and
fifty children.
A Mormon graveyard is the most
melancholy sight on earth. One bishop
here has seventeen ehildred buried in
one row, and the longest grave is not
over four feet If the men have but the
common feelings of humanity, how fear
fully they are punished for the crime of
polygamy. Brigham's children are
generally healthy, except that the girls
mostly have weak eyes, and two of them
are nearly blind but they are well fed,
housed and clothed. But such is the
exception, and could mention a dozen
men whose houses are full of women,
but their children are in the grave.
The Asiatic institution was never
meant to flourish on American soil, and
has resulted here in a slaughter of the
innOcents" which is saddening to con-
template.

A Bourbon.

A sensation story is now circulated
through newspapers in relation to the
death, in a convent Of Trappists, of
Louis XVII, son of the unfortunate
Louis XVI, who died on the scahold
A great many years ago, it says, two
men knocked at the door of the convent
and asked to speak with the superior.
The interview was granted and the two
men remained with him several hours.
One of them left the same day, leaving
in the hands of the superior a sealed
casket, with the promise that it would
not be opened till after the death of his
companion who remained, and who soon
after entered the order of the Trappists.
The latteris just dead, and the casket
consequently opened. To the great sur
prise of the community, papers were
found in it establishing in an unconver-
tible manner the identity of its owner
with the person Of the martyr kings
son, Louis XVII. Several bishops and
members Of the nobility have gone to
the convent to look at the remains Of
the pretended monarch, who bears a
strong resemblance to the Bourbons. If
this is confirmed, the story of :" A Bour-
bon in America" will have either to be
cancelled or rewritten.

Apocalypse of Raw Sugar.
From the New York SUM-

From the New York SUM-
Last night we saw the hidden wonders
of raw sugar as they were revealed to
us by a microscope of uncommon power
and great detective ability, which will
forever set us against all sweets in that
form with an intensity of horrer, such as
no man can conceive who has not been
behind the scenes. We saw the living
hell itself, however, in less than a quar-
ter of an ounce of raw sugar. There
were myriads, apparently, of horrible
insects as large as beetles, and having
the appearance of crabs. Four dread
full legs, with claw -pincerg at the end of
them, jointed in four parts as with
armor, and bristling with sharp pointed
spars, were in front of the monster, and
his head was long pyramidal form
in two joints, with five finger tips at the
terminus where the mouth ought to have
been. The body was oval-shaped, and
marked almost exactly ike that of a
crab, only upon the rims of an inner
circle upon the back there were twelve
more of those long sharp spears, with
two at the tail, and four snake-like ten
tacula, exceedingly fine in articulation,
a1d no doubt intended like pusss whis-
kers to be feelers, to warn the hinder
end parts Of contiguous danger. The
reverse side showed the ugliness of the
beast even more than the diverse, but it
also showed the wondrous mechanical
genius of the maker of it. Each limb
was padded by mass of muscle at the
base, which gave the impression of i'm
mense frelative) power, and over the
muscle there was a case of armor through
which it showed.
Talk about lively beasts, and lively
they were. Eager, restless, ravenous
always falling foul of each other, or at
tacking great joints of sugar, as large,
in reality as a mathematical point.
With the pincers attached to the end of
each proboscis they caught hold of one
another, and tore one another, repeating
in their small way, the enormous trage-
dies of Tennysou's primal monsters.
The way these marvels came to light was
tulS ~ spUUulul VI raw COdISS buSdA1
was dissolved in about three times the
quantity of water, when, as with a con-
Jurors rod, the animalcules sprang to the
surface, and foated there, swimming
about, and up and down. like the beasts
that wriggle in soft water tubs, and finally
turn into flies resembling mosquitoes,
but harmless. These sugar animalcules,
or acarus sacchGri, as the scientific men
call them, were then gathered up in a
spoon, and placed under glass magni-
flying about 200 times. They could be
seen, however, with the naked eye, to be-
gin with. but not in their entire hideOus-
ness until the object glass brought it out.
1t has been proved that in every pound
of uaretned, raw sugar, there are 100000
of these acari. In 10 grains weight,
DR.. Hassall of London, found 100 of
these insects; and DR.. Barker, of the
Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland,
found 400 in 40 grains weight, or 26S,
600 in a pound.
Worse still, as matter of aesthetics,
this is the very same insect that bOres
into the skin of its victims in Scotch
beds, and treats them to a taste Of the
" Scotch fiddle" alias the itch.
