A malicious but silly fellow who runs an
obscure paper in Georgetown. noted only for
its lack Of news, and vile personalities, has
time and again tried to get up controversy
with TIE STAR In order 10 advertise him self
and his business, bat having failed in his at
tempts now tries the dodge OF printing a scu--
rilous personal attack on one OF toe ed itorIal
staff Of this paper. As it would require more
space than we can devote to such a small sub.
ject to refute the stupid lies be has mana ged to
cram into three quarters of a column. and
thus write him into the notoriety he covets,
we have decided that the game is lot worth the
candle. No one fires Paixhan TO bring down
a carrion crow, and in justice to our ADVERT
sers and readers we dismiss the subject with
this brief mention, particularly as the sornary
cuss" we refer to is beneath even the contempt
of honorable gentlemen in the community
where he resides.

A Mormon HOusPhold.

A Mormon Household.
There Il an impres ion that tAe Norm ons are
shy OF introducing visitors to their households,
but we haye not found il so. On the contrary,
We have received many more invitations from
leading Mormons 10 visit them at their houses
than our time will perm US to accept. They
do complain, however, that some visitors have
abused their hospitalities by giving untruth-
full, sensational accounts OF what they saw.
Last night, by invitation OF Mr.. Senstone, ed.
itor and proprietor OF the Daily Telegraph, q
Mormon paper published at Ogden, we VS.
tied his delightfully."- situated residence on the
brow OF an eminence overlooking Salt Lake
City, and commanding wonderful view OF
lake and mountain scenery. Mr.. Senstone is
Of Scotch birth, but he has the dash and bon
homme Of a born Iriehman. How q man Of his
mercurial temperament can be held In the
rigid bonds OF the Mormon church is q mys.
terry, but he seems very enthusiastic in the
faith. Mr.. Senstone has three families; our
visit was to family No. 1. There was
nothing in what we saw there to indicate the
existence Of other wives and families, but Mr.
Senstone spoke of it pretty freely himself;
and Of polygamy rs . religious duty, per.
formed at much expense and personal sacrifice
The Mrs. Seustone we met u Of English birth
q graceful and accomplished woman, and
apparently devoted wife and mother. There
were four interesting children. varying from
one year to seventeen in aga The eldss
daughter Is the third wifs of Joseph A. Young
son Of Brigham Young. We did not see her
bat the second daughter. beautiful girl and
brilliant conversational, sang TO the accempa
nlment Of Chickering piano; and altogetnel
the evening was one OF cosy domestic ENJOY
nent such a. one finds in our best regulates
families In the East. OF course we could NO
help wondering IL the same domestic felicit,
reigned In families No. Q and 3; and II the sam
pleasing wives and charming daughters wer
to be found there also; and II so, whether tn
Mormon female mind can be SO regulated a
not to rebel at dividing a husbands affection

The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1869-06-25

A remarkable and rather fortunate Incl.
dent occurred during the severe storm which
swept over and deluged portions of Mchi.
gan on the 18th. Near Flint in thatstate is
b saw mill belonging to Hamilton d Cam.
eron. On the evening Of the commence
IN ent of the storm the men on quitting
work, left the slash.boards on the dam be.
tween their mill and an adjacent one Mr..
Hamilton was aroused from sleep about
midnight BY what he thought he recognized
as the sound of his own mill whistle. At
irst he deemed it impossible, knowing that
bis men had shut down and left the mill
several hours previously. The whistle con-
tnued to scream, however, until he became
satisfied of its identity, when be hurriedly
dressed himself and went TO the mill. There
he found that the cord attached to the valve
above the roof at one end, and to the engine
below at the other had become saturated by
the rain, and the tension thereby produced
had tightened the cord enough to open and
hold open the valve. There was steam suf
fcent left in the boilers to sound the whis.
tie of warning on the opening Of the valve,
just in time to bring to Mr. Hsmilton's
knowledge the Unprecedented rise il the
river, and the necessity to relieve the food
BY the immediate removal Of the slash
boards from the dam, which he speedily hsd
done.

The election in Virginia will take place
next Tuesday. The Richmond Wing begs
all men to come to the polls. L, says that
"a full registration will show not less than
100000 white voters in the state Concede
that there are 10000 base enough to betray
their race, and coucede that Wells gets every
negro vote-wbich he will not do-and we
still have q majority of $1,000. Concede,
further, that we are defrauded of 10000
votes, either by miscOunt or pipelaying, or
any other device, and still margin enough is
left for all useful purposes. The victory,
then, is in the power Of the whites, if they
choose TO seize it."

Brownlow says that if he desired tc
"bring the devil out Of his lair and secure
his active cooperation" with him in politics
he would proclaim himself Democrat
No more active cooperation of the devil
with the old vagabond can probably be Sc,
cured, but we hope for the sake oi the
country, the Democratic party and every
thing desirable in politics, ha will never de.
clare himself Democrat for while it is
utterly impossible for him to attain to such
degree of decency as to become in fact a
Democrat, the proclamation Of his adhesion
to the party would hurt it incalculably.
