COPPER AN ANTIDOTE AGAINST CHOLERA.
At a meeting of the Academic des Sci
ences, NJ. Dumas, the celebrated French
chemis,, gave a brief analysis of DIR.
Borq's report or the preservation from
cholera Of men engaged in working with
copper, He said, in effect, statistics
clearly prove that wherever the manipu-
Iation of copper was carried on the men
engaged in it have almost invariably
escaped harmless. The Investigation into
the subject were conducted under the
supervision and control of the commits
saries Of police. The number of deaths
in 1865 aud 1866 was in the proportion
of three to every 10000. The rate Of
mortality diminished in proportion as the
workmen were more exclusively employed
in The manipulation of copper. In other
manufactures, in metals as we'll as others,
the mortality was from ten to forty times
greater. Further testimony was supplied
by the society known as the Bon Accord,
which was founded in 1919, and entirely
composed of workers in bronze, and the
medical registers of which were thorough
ly we'll kept. During the whole of the
five visitations of cholera this society, the
members of which were scattered IN
quarters where the epidemic ragged with
the greatest viruIence, had not only not
had q single death, but had been called
upon 10 pay only for 106 days of sickness,
divided among ten members of the society.
Facts supporting the theory were also
SUI piled from other sources. The con-
clusion drawn from this statement was.
that if further inquiries established the
truth of the theory, exceedingly valuable
results from a hygienic point of view
would follow.

ant, that we ever beheld, to see the
pale, proud, sorrowful face OF that no
BILE boy, his head erect, his beautiful
eyes bright through the tears that he
shed. The mate told him he had but
two minutes to live, and advised him
to speak the truth and save his life;
but he replied with the utmost SIM
plicity and sincerity, by asking the
mate if he might pray.
The mate said nothing, but nodded
his head, and turned as pale as a
ghost, and shook with trembling like
a reed with the wind. And there, all
eyes turned on him, this brave and
noble fellow, this poor waif whom So
ciety owned not, and whose own STEP
father could not care for him, there he
knelt, with clasped hands and eyes
upraised to heaven, while he repeated
audibly the Lords Prayer, and pray
ed the dear Lord Jesus to take him
to heaven.
Our informant adds that there then
occurred a scene of Pentecost. Sobs
broke from strong, hard hearts as the
mate sprang forward to the boy and
clasped him to his bosom, and kissed
him, and blessed him, and told him
how sincerely he now believed his
story, and how glad he was that he
had been brave enough to face death
and be willing to sacrifice his life for
the truth of his own word.

About Polygamy.

A Salt Lake correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes as fol-
lows, of the physical and moral effects
of the institution of polygamy:
Another evil beginning to show it.
self is HE mixing of kindred blood
The marriage of cousins is too COM
mon, and | am told that several cases
have occurred where uncle and neice
were married, but | know personally
of no such case.
There are several cases of a man
marrying both mother and daughter,
and the marriage of two or three sis
terS by one man is quite common
Robert Sharkey, merchant of this
city, married three sisters, one of
W hom was divorced from her first hus-
band to marry LiHi. Iney all lived
in ono ltou>c, and quite happily, it is
said, for several years, when in some
strange manner they all became con-
vinced that polygamy was wrong
One of the sisters started East, but
soon returned and endeavored to
make some arrangement for him to
put away the other two. There were
difficulties in the way, and Sharkey's S
trouble was so great on the subject
that his mind became disordered, and
last August he shot himself.
There is, however, as general
rule, less household trouble where the
wives are sisters than otherwise; and
the Mormon leaders, in view of this
we'll known fact, advise a man to mar.
ry sisters whenever it can be done
The correspondent continues:
One family within my knowledge
consists of two men and four women
the mems first wives being sisters
and their second wives each sister
of the other man, all living in one
} house. Or to state it mathematical
ly, A and B first marry sisters, ther
A marries BIS sister and B AS sister
Here is no marriage of blood rela
tions, and yet it looks like a terrible
mixture somewhere. As it now is, il
: seems like half the children in the city
are related in some way or another tt
the Kimballs, Pratts, Or the Young's
aud many of them to all three.
While many women, and perhaps
the majority, are firm in the convic
tion that polygamy, since it comes
: with ali the weight of an important
t revelation, is perfectly just, and il
t accordance with or part OF divine law
there are numbers who think that {
mistake has been made somehow, tina

"Well," said Peter, "if l had been
in your place, | should have taken up

Mark mentioned the name of the
same individual again.
"Why," resumed Peter, II have
been doing the work of a butchers
boy for whole week."
Mark was incredulous, but his com.
panion soon convinced him, and they
separated, one going home happy and
contented. and the other going away
from home to find some sort of excite.
ment in which to drown his misery.
One day Peter had a basket of pro.

Truthful Boy.

The New York Sun gives the fol-
lowing account Of recent occurrence
of a very affecting character which
took place on an English steamer:
A little ragged boy, aged nine years,
was discovered on the fourth day of
the outward voyage from Liverpool to
New York, and carried before the
first mate, whose duty it was to deal
with such cases. When questioned
as to the object of his being slowed
away and who brought him on board
the boy, who had beautiful sunny
face, and eyes that looked like the
very mirrors of truth, replied that his
step-father did it, because he could not
afford to keep him nor to pay his pas
sage out to Halifax, where he had an
aunt who was we'll off, ard to whom
he was going. The. mate did not be.
lieve the story, in spite of the win,
ming face and truthful accents of the
boy. He had seen too much of stow
aways to be easily deceived by Them
he said. and it was his firm conviction
that the boy had been brought Oh
board and provided with food by the
sailors. The little fellow was very
roughly handled in consequence. Day
by day he was questioned and re
questioned, but always with the same
result. He did not know a sailor or
board, and his father alone had secre
ted him and given him the food which
he ate.
At last the mate, wearied by the
boys persistence in the same story
and perhaps little anxious to incul
pate the sailors, seized him one day
by the collar, and dragged him to the
fore. told him unless he confessed The
truth in ten minutes from that time
he would hang him on the yard arm
He then made him sit down under i
on the deck. All around him were
the passengers and sailors of the mid
day watch, and in front of him stood
the inexorable mate: with his chro
nometer in his hand, and the Other
officers of the ship by his side. L
was the finest sight, said my inform
