BRIGHAM YOUNG ON PoLYaAMY. Brig
ham Young claims that polygamy is not
peculiar to Mormonism In n sermon
recently, he said that Father Abraham
had many wives. and he quoted many
others. He said God had never forbid
den polygamy. The Saviour never re.
bnked it, though surrounded by it. 1t
WAS a new invention to rule out this
practice of the olden time. But, said
he, we are not polygamist exactly. (He
has children by nine wives.) Bnt we are
scaled for eternity. as it is revealed to u.s..
He then spoke of the dreary life that
must be passed through. the untold and
comprehensive period of eternity, by
those who have no congenial spirits seal
cd to them. These sealed companions,
beautiful angels in eternity, will make us
happy in the presence of God. But
Brigham didn't explain the effect upon
the women. While man has twenty
wives or angels to make him happy, the
poor women have only one-twentieth
part of a man, each. to attract their at
tention.

A PRACTIoAL FLYING MACHINE. "A
member of one of the oldest and most
successful business establishments in this
city has been for several years expert
menting with flying machine that he
has invented and is now sanguine will b.
entirely successful. Discarding entirely
the common modes of meeting tho diff
culties of keeping the machine pendent
in the air by some form of balloon, our
Paducah inventor elevates his machine,
and keeps it afoat, by mechanical means
and the use of materials that combine
strength with extension. His present
machine, which may be called indeed n
model, employs two engines, with two
inch cylinders, and its supporting and
Propulsive agency is perpendicnlar
shaft, with two arms, to which beautiful
wings are attached. These wings strike
the air at about the same angle as the
wings of bird do, and operate more
like screw propellers than the wings used
on any other flying machine yet propos.
ed. The steam was put on last Thurs
day, in the presence of several compe,
tent machinists, and everything worked
in satisfactory manner. The inventor
is now engaged in ascertaining. by prac-
tical experiment, the exact lifting power
OF his machine. Those to whom he has
exhibited it, are unanimous in their OPT.
MON that he will achieve tho great feat
of making a machine that will fly; will
be elevated or depressed at pleasure; will

and will not need balloon to give il
buoyancy. Rentuchian.

A PRrooo1ous. L.Irrnp YnnA1N.-I,

A PREoooIous, LITrLB YuLAIN.-In
New York. on Tuesday, rs. q, lady WAS
sNslking down Eighth avenue, two young
thieves made a grab for her watch chain,
zs piece:of jewelry worth $3.50, and suo.
3ceeded in getting possession of il. The
jiady held on to her watch and seized one
of the young rufians, utthe scamp beat
her so severely that she was forced to let
him 60. subsequently they were both
|arrested, and on "Wednesday morning
1arraigned before Justice Dodge. The
youngest of this brace of rogues was a
|preoocious little villain. He quizzed the
clerk, of the court, insulted the witness
les. and endeayored to bully the Judge.
The chief witness ngainBt the boys was q
little Jewish girl. This circumstance
was settled upon by the impudent young
rascal as o point for his defence, Which
he conducted as follows, according to the
Commercial: ''Look O. here, Judge" said
he. ..are you sgoin' to take that girls
evidence against us2 Why sho don't
know the nature of an onth-she don't.
She can't swear-she can't. Why if Joe
and me was afore Bowling. he'd dis
charge Us in q minute-he wonld. He
knows sometbing-he does. But knew
how it would be if they brought us here. !"
On his companion trying to interfere,
the youngster ''shut him up" with the
sage remark, '-You Jest keep still; I've
been mp before''--a fact not to be doubt.
ed. he gave his age as ''twelve, goin'
on thirteen;" and when Judge Dodge
persisted in committing them, he sagely
remarked, "Never mind, Joe, we won't
be there long; McCunn will give us
writ. That's the way got out aforel"
With which consolatory reflection he
walked coolly of.

PRIMARY ELECTION.


TIE time appointed for holding the Re
publican Primary Elections is rapidly aP-
lroaehing, and the numerous candidates
for ths offices to be filed seem to be busily
engaged in pressing their claims, and their
peculiar fitness to discharge the duties Of
the particular position to which they So
lioit the people TO assign them; and We
should think il there should not be q nret'
ty full vote it will not be because the vo-
ters have not been pretty thoroughly raj
he'd, BY their friends who want office, on
the tubjQct Of coming out to these elections.
We trust that candidates in their election
eering campaigns for nominations, will
not permit themselves to become unduly
excited on the subject, and allow them
selves to become prejudiced against oppo.
nentS for nomination. to the extent that
will prevent them from giving their infu
enc0 70 the whole ticket that may be nom
mated Candidates, and friends Of can
didates, should be cautious in advocating
their own clnini or the claims of others,
not to do injustice to opponents II is q
trite old maxim that fair play is Jewell
and we hope that each candidate will keep
this maxim in view wand net towards other
upon this prihoipls.
All cannot be nominated, and but one
can be elected TO each office; and whatever
may be the result Of the Primary election
each candidate and his friends should go
into the election fully prepared to submit
TO the decision of the ordeal to which they
have mutually referred their several cases,
And when the nominations are made, let
US al unitediy give our influence and our
votes to the candidates chosen through
the medium Of these township primary
elections. Let us do this for the good Of
the cause We advocate, although we may
unfortunately. have some heart burnings,
and little unpleasantness growing out Of
indscretions in warm contest for nonl
nations. Let US do this, we repeat, and
we secure a victory for the noble principles
so gallsntly m aintained by our loyal coun
trymeh, and our true and energetic party
during the dark and bloody days Of the
rebellion, when men placed their lives and
their fortunes in jeopardy for the preserve
tion OF the best Government ever devised
by human wisdom. To oall concerned We
say, in the language Of our noble hero and
standard bearer President Grant, Let us
have pease.'
