Heavens Retribution for Crime.

Some years ago, says the New Orleans
PcayHne., man named Spencer, In that
city, got into a trifing dispute with
lifelong friend named Hunt and killed
him in a moment of passion. His horror
at the homicide threw him into fever,
of which he came near dying. For months
he lowered on the verge of the ve,and
when at last he recovered it was with the
impression that the ghost of his friend,
clad in grave clothes, was ever at his side.
His mind, rational upon every other sub
ject, ciings to this delusion, and no per-
suasion or reason can inn prove the ipmres-
sion or cure him of the mania. 1t goes
with him to his business, which he con-
ducts with the same sagacity and skill
that he always did. 1t sits with him in
his family circle is by his side upon the
street. ard lies down with him when he
goes to bed AT night He often converses
with i, and imagines that he receives re-
plies to his questionings. He says for
years the ghost maintained toward him
stern aspect, refusing all Cancellation, but
of late years it Eas assumed toward him
a more friendly demeanor. He believes it
will go with him through life, as pen
ance for the crime. The law acquitted him,
but this is the Judgment of heaven.

from the N. Y. Sun. June 1911
Last and least of the happy consum
nations of true love which it is the Suns
pleasant prerogative to cast beam upon,
is the wedding of the redoubtable Com
modore Mutt, of Lilliputian memory, to
the charming little Miss Minnie Warren,
so long his companion in the realms of
the great Barnum's enterprise. Several
years have gone by since that mythical
little bird Mrs Grundy has trained espec-
tally to spy upon the pranks of Cupid,
whispered to that ancient dame that
Minnie and the Commodore had fallen
willing victims to Cupids darts. Mrs.
Grundy, however, had nothing to say at
the time, for she agreed that if ever
match was made In Heaven, it ever
people were made for each other" 1t
was this Lliliputian couple. At last we
are happy to delight Mrs. Grundy with
the announcement that Miss Minnie and
the Commodore have been made bone OF
one bone, flesh of one flesh, and all the
of it, according to the regulations in such
cases provided while, at the same time,
we are forced to shock her slightly by ad-
ding that the wedding was strictly pri-
vate, only few friends being admitted
to witness the ceremony. Mr.. Chas.
Stratton tom Thumb) and his pretty
little wife, once Miss Lavinia Warren,
the sister of the bride, oficiated as
groomsman and bridesmaid, and the two
tiny couples Immediately started on a
honeymoon tour to West New Haven,
Conn, the residence of Mr.. Stratten's
mother, where they arrived safely, by the
2:3O A. NJ. train of the Shore Line Rail
road on Thursday. 1t it be true that
the most valuable goods are done up in
the smallest packages, then have the
loving couples both made the choice of
wisdom. Long may they wave.

Mormon Assassins-The Dante Band
and It's MUrderOuS Work.
from the Salt Lake Reportel


a certain number, said to be twelve of
the most desperate characters in the
Church were selected from among the
Danites to commit such assassinations as
might be found necessary by the prophet
for the welfare and advancement of hsi
holy cause. The murder of Governor
Boggs, and many others was planned in
secret concaves of the Danites, and exc
cuted by the chosen twelve. The attempt
to murder Governor Boggs fortunately
failed, and at least one of the would be
murders is known to live in Utah. Both
of ahese secret societies no,U eUist IN Salt

feet under Brigham Young than it was
under Joe Smith, and consequently the
aims more sure, the objects more certain
~ accomplished No sooner does Gen
tile enter Salt Lake City, than he is placed
under the surveillance of the secret police.
A member of the DANTE organization is
deputed to watch him from the time he
and careless expressions of opinion are
noted and reported, that the Mormon
authorities may determine whether he is
a friend, secret enemy, or an open and
avowed opposer of Mormon iniauity.
Il
opinions inimical to the Mormon leader
would result in assassination to the bold
defender, and sometimes even the mere
suspicion that Gentle was opposed to
Mormon rule would produce such a re-
suit.
The true secret of Brigham great sue

ments of which his church is composed

Nor mons know that certain death by
assassination awaits violation of their
oaths, and that although the day of their
doom has been postponed 1t Is sure to
come with the opportunity. 1t is true
that many apostates have escaped aSsas
sination, but this is owing to the fact
that they use suhterfuge to place them
selves beyond Brigham power, but even
then instances are not wanting OF Dantes
having followed appostates into dlfent
cities of the United States, hoping for a
favorable opportunity to assasSlnate.
Others escape because for the time 1t Is
deemed inexpedient to kill them. Re
cent mysterious deaths of GentIles near
Salt Lake City have for a short time ex-
cited comment, but finally they have been
forgotten. No coroners inquest haxe III
vestigated facts and circumstances, and
no inquiry has been made into the cause
of their deaths. But such system can
not be perpetuated The Government
must sooner or later, raise her protecting
banner In Utah, and not allow il to be
scotfed at and spit upon by vile and
trecherous priesthood.

Enamel as an Application to the Fe-
male Face and Neck.

Paint and powder, as will be seen pres
emily, are important ingredients OF the
visible face of the belle of the period
But there is another element of the fash
ionable female countenance which is rap
idly running into extensive vogue. We
refer to enamel.
The enameling of female faces and
busts is now branch of masculine bua-
ness, and is quite lucrative. A chiropo-
dist on Broadway devotes a good deal of
time and attention to this line of trade.
while man called Sausson initiates his
example The process Of this enam-
cling is somewhat curious. The belle
who would enamellng go is first exam
ined with a microscope, and any rough
hairs or fuzz which exist upon the cheeks
or bust is at once removed with liniment
or plaster, medlcated soap, or scissors or
tweezers even. Being thus prepared, the
cheeks or bust are coated with fine en-
amel, which is composed OF arsenic, or
white lead, or other ingredients made In
to semi-paste, and pleasantly scented.
An ordinary coating of enamel will en-
dure for day or two but to render the
operation of any permanent effect, the
coating process has to be repeated twice
week for varying periods. according to
circumstances and the circumstances of
its owner. The penciling of the eyebrows,
so as to render the contrast between them
and the whitened face more striking, is
sometimes included in the enameling
process; while the eyebrow is also trim
med or shaven, just as is the moustache
ina man.
1t costs good deal of money to be
we'll enameled The prices of enamel
ing vary; but the average price-list of
the various stages is about as follows
For enameling the face to last once or
twice, frow $40 to SIS; for enameGng
face and bust temporarily, from SIS to
$40; for enameling the face to endure
one or two weeks, from SIS to $25 /; for
enameling the face and bust to last about
the same period, from $25 to S35; for
permanently this is for six months)
keeping the face in well-enameled con-
ditian, from 5000 to $3.50, and for keep
ing the face and bust both in the same
pleasing state, from $400 to 5000. So
that from its very cost alone enameling
should becoue fashionable.-Neao York

The ST. Paul Pioneer says John G.
Breckenridge, while in Minnesota the
other day, found himself or board the
same train which was conveying the ex-
cursionist party of the Minnesota First
from the scene of their festivities. When
they debarked, the veterans III fnrled their
old flag, and the band struck up the in
spring strains of Hail Columbia. The
Confederate Chieftain liste ned mo-
ment to the glorious music, watched the
banner as its folds spread out to the
breeze, then reverently raised his hat
from his head, waved it towards the stars
and stripes, and exclaimed: THAT is the
old flag, after all. Thank God for it |"

It would probably take about $40, 000,-

and that is Just about the amount of gold
that the Treasury could could well spare.
Three to four years ago. this SO, 100000
of gold would have bought 100000, 900
of bonds, and the saving of interest since
paid on those bonds would have been over

900 poorer this day for the persistent re-
tention of that gold in the Treasury in
ostentatious defiance of the Sinking Fund

again urge Mr. Boutwell, to obey that
provision to the last.-New York 1ri

MR.. BOUTWELL,S POLICY.

One after another, the myriad furious
assailants of Mr. Boutwell's gold selling
and bond buying have hauled off to repair
damages, leaving him undisputed master
of the situation. The last cavil is, not
that he goes too fast, but that he is not
going nearly fast enough! Hear the last
comnlaint from The Herald:
eve have on several occasions COM
mended the policy of the Secretary IN
disposing of his surplus cold; but it was
because we supposed he would with the
proceeds buy up and cancel the interest
bearing debt. We did not imagine that
he intended merely to change the gold
into currency, and thereby to accumulate
and contract that, to the manifest injury
of trade and to the advantage CT Tie stock
and money gamblers of Wallst. 1t il
intimated that he wishes to accumulate
large amount of currency in the Treasury
for the purpose of taking up with it the
3 per cent certificates. These certificates
operate as currency, inasmuch as they
take the place of greenbacks in the bank
reserves and set free corresponding
amount of currency for general use. The
boarding of currency for the purpose of
taking up the per cent certificates or
the withdrawal of these certificates is
contraction, and can have only the same
disastrous result as Mr.. McCulloch's
monthly withdrawal of green backs. The
country is not in a situation to admit OF
contraction in any shape or form. 1t
would paralyze bushes, lead to specula-
ton and gambling. and cause bankruptcy
IF Mr. Boutwell, is one of the on-to-spe
cie-payment theorists, and wishes to force
resumption in any such insidious manner
we give him warning that, like his prede-
cessor, he will fail and have to take the
back track The only safe course to pur-
sue is to sell his surplus gold, and with
every dollar of the proceeds to buy up
and cancel the interest bearing debt. Yes,
let him use even the surplus currency on
hand for this object, and then we shall
have an easy money market, gold would
decline under the continual stream poured
out of the Treasury, and the annual bur
den of the debt would be forever lessened.
This, and this alone. is the true and safe
policy Tor Mr. Boutwell, to pursue"
This critic don't seem to realize that the
country has laws, and that Mr.. Boutwell,
is their servant, not their master. We
heartily wish he would proceed forthwith
to convert his surplus gold into bonds for
the Sinking Fund, to the full extent Of
Mr.. McCulIoch's long defiance of the ex-
press requirement of the Legal Tender
act. We apprehend that there is now
due and payable to the Sinking Fund
bonds of the United States to something
like the following amounts:

Early Marriage.

At no period, perhaps, in their life, do
young men need the inspiration of virtu-
GUS love and the sympathy Of a compan-
ion in their selfdenying toll as when they
first enter the battle for their own sup
port. Early marriages are permanent
moralities. and deferred marriages are
temptations to wickedness. And yet
every year it, becomes more and more
difficult, concurrent with the reigning
IDEAS of society, for young man to en-
ter upon that matrimonial state which is
the proper guard of their virtue, as well
as their courage and enterprise. The
battle of life is almost at the beginning.
There it is that a man needs wedlock.
But wicked and ridiculous public senti-
ment puts a man who is in society, or out
of society, for that matter, largely on the
ground OF condition, and not of disposi-
tion and character. The man that has
means wherewith he can visibly live am
ply is in good society," as a general rule.
The man that has virtue and stern man.
illness. but has nothing withal external
to show, is not usually consideredin good
society. Ambitious young men will not
therefore marry until they can meet their
expenses but that is deferring for years
and years the indispensable virtue. So,
ciety is bad where two cannot live heap
er than one! and young men are under
bad influences who, when in the very
morning of life, and better fitted than at
any later period to. grow together with
one who is their equaFand mate, are de-
barred from marrying through scofes Of
years from mere prudential considera-
tions and the heart and life are sacri-
feed to the pocket. They are tempted
to substitute ambition for love, when at
last, over the ashes and expiring embers =
of their early romance they select their
wife. .. :.
1t is said that men who wait till they
are forty or forty-fve years of age select
prudently. Alas for the wife who was
not first q sweetheart! Prudence is
good; but is prudence servant or queen?
Prudence is good: but hat is prudence?
Is it the dry calculation of the head
eagued with the pocket? Is there no
prudence in taste, nor. prudence in the
inspiration of generous. love? Is there
no prudence in the faith by which,
banded, two young persons go down into
the struggle of life, saying: "Como
veal, come woe, come storm, come calm,
love is a match for circumstances, and we
will be all to each other ?" Woe be that
society in which the customs and the
manners of the times put off, beyond the
period of romance and afiancing, the
wedding. You have adjourned the most
important secular act of mans life.
You have adjourned it out of Eden into
the wilderness.-Henry Ward Beecher.

The BANKRUPT LAw.-An erroneous
idea prevails, says an exchange, that in
order te obtain dischargein bankruptcy,
bankrupt's estate must pay fifty cents on
the dollar. By reference to;the amend
ment it will be seen that discharge will
be granted if the petitioners assets are
equal to fifty cents on the dollar of the
debts that are proved against him that he
owes as principal. Security debts are not
taken in consideration. Again, if the Pc.
titioner can obtain the written consent OF
majority in number and in value OF
those who have proved their debts against
him that he owes as principal, discharge
will be granted. The refusal OF Congress
to extend the Act, really makes but little
difference, as discharge can be easily OBJ
tanned now as before the commencement
of the operation CT the fifty per cent.
clause.
