THE WAGES OF LABoR.-Bcfore
the discovery of America, money
was so scarce that the price ola day s
work was fixed by act of the Eng
lish Parliament III 1851 dt one peh-
ny per day and in 1914 the allow
ance of the chaplain to the Scotch
bishops (then in prison in Bngland)
was three half pence per day. AT
this time, twenty-four eggs were
sold for a penny, pair of shoes for
four pence, fat goose for two and
a half pence, a hen for a penny,
wheat three pence per bushel, and
a fat OK for six sbillings and eight
pence. So that, in those days, a
days work would buy hen or two
dozen of eggs four days work
would buy a pair of shoes, and fat
OK cost eighty days work. On the
whole, human labor bought on the
average about halfas much food and
perhaps one-fourth as much cloth
or clothing as it now does.

the three sections mentioned be car
ried out, il will be destroyed 10 the
extent Of many millions Of acres Of
land that now by law belong to il,
The original peliey Of the State,
adhered TO steadily since 1883. in
donating lands TO aid in tho con
slrueIion of railroads, was TO reserve
tho alternate sections in tho reser-
yatiOns, as we'll us elsewhere, for
school purposes, The 5th section
alluded 10 throws open to location
and entry millions of acres hereto
fore saoredly held us a basis upOn
which II was intended to establish
a common sohoo. fund, that woilt
afford tho means Of education TO all
tho children Of tho State. And
there can be no question that the
increased yalro given to these lands
by the construction of a railroad
through thom would secure the
grand object for which they were
reserved and set apart, but which
will be destroyed by the ratification
of the Constitution rs presented,
and place these lands in the posses.
sion OF persons who will locate them
for speculative purposes.
If tho sections OF the constitutlon
referred to hro retained, the com
mon school system OF the State will
be sadly injured, and il will violate
the faith of tho State as pledged by
her general and special acts of leg
islution, incorporating railroad COM
panies and inviting capital from
abroad to invest in such enterprises.
Such action will give rise to chdlcsa
litigation, and be the means of
bringing the State into great disrc-
pute. 1t will have the effect to
drive capital from investment in
our State, and be productive of the
most serious consequences in re-
tarding the development Of our
vast resources, and will Inevitably
produce n future of slow progress
instead of giving an impetus to the
bright promise of prosperity that
now seems dawning upon the long
neglected interests Of our State. If
the provisions referred to be strick-
en- out, the question will be left in
the bands of tho Legislature; and
if the people desire to change the
long g.settlei policy Of tho State re-
garding n common school system
and internal improvements, there
will be nothing to prevent It,. On
the other hand, should they desire
to foster and promote their school
system, and to act in good faith to-
ward capitalists who have invested
their means upon the solemn enact
ments of their legislatures, they
will be free to do SO.
There are many other cogcnt rca-
sons that might be urged in sup
port of the views herein presented,
Eut tic foregoing are deemed sutli-
cicnt to cause d thorough investiga-
ton by the National Legislature
The premises considered, your mo,
morialists earnestly and respectful.

Nothing Of Importance was done
in either House. They will meet
tomorrow to count the votes, when
the question of adjournment will be
brought up.
AUSTIN, February 23, 1870.
The result Of the Senatorial cleo
tion, as tclegraphcd yoh last night,
was declared in joint session this
morning.
In the House the scat of j. Il,
Smith, Conservative, from the I'd
Legislative District, was given to
Bonner. c. i. Abbott, (Rcpublican.)
and J. e. Hawkins, Conservative
retain their seats.
The substance Of Pltmly's rcsolu-
tions was presented and laid on the
table; the House refusing to net
either negatively or afflrmhtively.
"A proposition to give ten cents a
copy for one copy for the use of each
tiichbcr of every paper publishing
Legislative proceedings, was lost.
A motion in the House to adjourn
Sine die got thirteen votes.
A resolution asking Cohgfoss to
establish postal telegraph system
has passed the House.
The House adjourned till night,
having invited tho U. s. Senators
elect to make speeches.
In the Senate q memorial was
presented asking Congress to re-
move all disabilities, and was refer
red to committee on Federal Rela-
tions, of which General Parsons is
Chairman, where it will doubtless
sleep.
Tho Senate passed q resolution
to adjourn sine die tomorrow, 24th
inst, at II o'clock, with the concur
renee of the House.
1t is understood no legislative
action will be attempted. Adjourn
ment will take place tomorrow or
thu hekt day. The session is vrtu-
ally ended. There is some question
as to who will call the Legislature
together again.
AUSTIN, February "a, 1870.
Resolutions complimenting Rey-
Holds in laudatory terms passed
both Houses.
Resolution complimentary to Gen
eral Busll passed the Senate, eleven
Democrats recording their votes
agaihst it. The same resolution
came up in the House.. and by rush
ing 1t through it was declared pass
ed, Notwithstanding the call ryeas
and nays. 1t was then moved to
make it unanimous. On this motion
the yeas and nays were called for,
when the Speaker declared the hour
for adjournment had arrived, and
thus there was no vote recorded.
After the passage of few unim-
portant resolutions both Houses ad-
jodfned sine die.
No provision for being called
together again was inserted, as it is
considered that the military have
control of tho matter.
Last night the Senators elect held
forth. Hamilton says the Legisla-
ture means economy, preservation
of law and order, new civilization,
industry and development of the
industrial resources Of the State.
He hoped that we would have an
influx Of goodmen from the North
and West and Europe, in lieu ofim-
igrants from the seeded States. He
favored internal improvements, and
he believed that the Legislature was
entitled to inaugurate the State
policy.
Flanagan is opposed to the restric-
tons in the State Constitution in
article ten. His party is a party of
power, liberty and mercy. He ex-
pressed himself strongly in favor Of
frontier protection and internal i'm
provefnents. Each speaker INDUCED

THE ADVERTISEMENTS IN A NEWSPAPER.

A Persian sage, versed in all the wisdom
of the Orient, was recently met by
French traveller on his journeyings in the
East. He had acquired some knowledge
OF the French tongue, and newspaper
from Paris gave him great delight, es-
pecially the advertising department.
This department" said he, .cannot be
thoroughly understood except by sage.
He who invented it was benefactor of
humanity, In singularly narrow space
he has contrivedto collect the most valuable
inEormation--the honorable marriages
which have taken place in the best circum-
stances of fortune, the houses on sale or
to be let the best works, and, above all,
the most venerable and precious medi-
cines.n Such seem TO the East the notices
which give life and vitality to our news
papers, and without which they would
afford each day only the scantiest measure
of news. Nearly all men who do bust
ness believe in advertising. but of these
few know how it can well be done, and
still fewer have any conception of the mag
nitude of the sums of money paid yearly
for publicity. Apropos of this, we hear
a good story of a man who had farm for
sale, but was too stingy to advertise it in

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S HOUSEHOLD.

\ letter to the Cincinnati Gazette af-
tords the following glimpse at the interior
life of the Mormon leaders harem:
These rooms are very much alike.
They are plain, but comfortable. The
women live in them precisely as people
do at hotel. Each lady has her own KEY,
and when she goes out she locks her door
There is little visiting back and forth, and
the ladies behave very much as guests do
at a first class hotel.
Every morning and evening, at the
ringing of the bell, the inmates of the
harem meet in the great parlor, to attend
prayers. They sing hymn, and Young
pray, fervently. The prophet used to eat
at the harem with his wives, but he sell
dom does so now. In the morning, on
rising, each woman puts her room in
order, and if she has children dresses
them for breakfast. After prayers they
all 90 to breakfast, the ladies with chill
dren sitting at little family tables, and
those without children at the common ta-
BILE. The same food is given to all. and
the bill of fare is by no means poor one.
Brigham, from time to time, designates
some of his wives to take charge Of the
cooking, and they RENAME on duty until
relieved. During the day the women
walk out, sew, sing, play the piano in the
parlor, or walk with the children. Most
Of them spin, make cloth and color it.
They are very proud of their cloth and
embroidery. In the evening all hands go
to the theatre where every one of Brig
hams wives has a reserved seat.
1t is said that Young literally supplies
his wives with money, and on fine days
they drive out and go shopping. He en-
ploys music teacher, French teacher,
and dancing master, for the use of his
household. Brigham's women are well
dressed. but still they have to work hard,
and he keeps Il wholesome discipline over
them.
