GOOD FARE AT CovINGToN.-The town of
Covington has now, deservedly, the reputation OF
having most excellent eating houses. The pas
sengers who take meals there are as much sur
prised as grstifed when they find such variety
of excellent fare served in the best style of the
culinary art We recently took supper at the
"Cogbill House, at the depot. and do not exag-
gerate when we say that the meal furnished on
that occasion was much superior, both in variety
and quality, to those furnished by city Hotels
which claim to be frst-class

Of Mornaoaism; being an expose Of their secret
rites and ceremonies aoith full and authentic
history of Polygamay and the Mormon sect from
ats origin to the present time - by j. II. Beo-
die, editor of the Salt Lake Reporter, is the IT,
tie of valuable work just issued by the Ma
tional Publishing Co.. Philadelphia, Pa.
For more than thirty years the world has been
Mortified, startled and perplexed by the audacity
and success of sect calling themselves Nor
mons Though founded in fraud, this sect has
succeeded in spite of all opposition until to-day
it is the standing reproach of our country.
The authors long residence in Utah and his
position as Editor of the leading journal of tat
Territory, peculiarly qualified him to write IL :
work Mormonsm has been productive of SO
many dark and strange mysteries-so many ter
rible crimes that few can comprehend, without
an intimate knowledge of it, how much wicked
ness it has to answer for, and what standing
menace to order and society it is.
The work shows how JOE SMITH and BRIG
HAM YOUNG have been enabled to deceive and
cheat their followers how by leading them On
from crime to crime, and enticing them with IL
centious bats, they have succeeded IN maintain
ing their influence over them; and treats of the
Mormon religion, its infamous. and heathenlsh
character its multitude of gods, its abominable
doctrines and practices revealing many strange
and outrageous ceremonies. Of the Endowment
or initiation ceremonies, showing how obscene
and disgusting they are how female modesty is
outraged in them, and how RIGHTEOUSNESS is
taught as part of their religious creed.

what manner of people are growing up in our
very midst. This work gives full and authen-
tic account of their degraded social condition.
their basphemous rites and ceremonies, their
sacreligious doctrines and practices, and is the
most thrilling and startling account of lcentious-

and impartial statement of a question which bids
fair to cause no little trouble. The book is sold
only by subscription, and agents are wanted in
