WoHISs' MOVEMENT IN A NEW Direction.
The Desera (Salt Lake City, Ecening Nc,os Of
the 10th, contains the report of meeting presid-
cd over by Mrs, Mary Isabella Horne, on the 10th,
at which the two following, among other resolu-
tions were passed
Resolped, That We, realizing the many evils
growing out of the excess and extravaganza which
our present customs require in the great varieties
OF dishes demanded in table entertainments, do
mutually agree to unite our efforts in sustaining
by our examples table retrenchment in all of our
visiting associations and social parties
Resoiped, That inasmuch as many of our good
and worthy citizens are deferred from inviting
company by the consideration that they cannot
compete with their more ailluent neighbors. and
are thereby deprived Of many rich and profitable
interviews, we say that henceforth any tableneat-
ly spread, with no matter how plain, but whole.
some food, shall be considered fashionable.
After which Mrs. Horne carried out the theory
OF the meeting by seating the entire company al
neatly spread retrenchment table the meal con,
sistipg of good bread and butter, with stewed
dried apples, one kind Of cake, blancmange, with
cream and preserves and cold water.

The Mormon Problem.


Aner many long years Of the let alone
policy in dealing with Mormonism, there is
an apparent determination on the part Of the
Government to make its power felt in the do
minion Of Brigham Young Since the intro
duction Of Gen. Culom's bill in the National
House of Representatives, the Mormous have
sent back the boldest threats Of defiance.
They have thus far acted independently OF
the common laws Of the country, and are de-
termiucd to continue to do So Their pet in.
stituton, polygamy, is threatened, and they
declare. as did the Shareholders, that they
will fight and fall in the last ditch before they
will surrender The militia Of the Territory
are said to be well organized and armed, and
there will probably be serious trouble before
the question Is settled. Already outrages
are being pcrpotrated upon the non-Mormon
residents, and the hearts Of the poor, deludod
fanatics are being fired by Brigham and hi.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

WANTED TO Buy A DOG.-One would suppose that
there was a sufficient supply of CANNES, in and about
Honolulu to satisfy the most avaricious fancieur of
that class of quadrupeds. Especially in the vicinity
of the slaughter houses below the prison. But strange
to say at that very quarter, an elderly Hawaiian
gentleman, took a great liking to q large Sc yaller
dorg,'' which he discovered among the snaring,
growing and biting herd. Thinking no doubt, they
were private property, he inquired of q bystander,
also q native, as to whose property the dogs were.-
to whom belonged the troupe, particularly of the
yellow dog aforesaid. The native, appealed to, being
rather astute, saw he had a sight. replied it was his.
and began descanting on his good qualities and said
he was worth at least five dollars. The bargain was
struck, and now comes the piftkta,, about the de-
livery of the chattel the So were shown and Ha-
waiian No. l said the dog must be passed over, with
rope round the neck, sc. This was no easy job, but
Hawaiian No 2, looking at the sinners, ran off for
horse and lasso, and with some assistance the yellow
hund was caught and delivered, money passed and
old man went off with his treasure. Who says after
this, that Hawaians are not fond of the animal, on
the grave of whom Lord Byron once wrote his grace
full epitaph. -

A DISTINGUISHED TRAvELER.-Among the passen-
gers by the .ajGz on her last trip from San Francisco,
was a gentleman who booked himself as DIR. J. NJ.
Forrest. We are informed that this person was none
other than the somewhat celebrated rebel c~hieftain.
Gen. Forrest, hero of the massacre at Fort Pillow,
where a company of loyal negro soldiers and their
officers were butchered in cold blood by his orders.
He went on to Australia in the Guy Of Melbourne,
a wanderer and an outcast from his native land
and the best government on the face Of the earth.
