Some months since statement was publish
ed to the effect that Miss Gray, a milliner Of
Fort Edward, near Troy, had become the for
tunate heir to nineteen million dollars, which
her lover, a young Englishman had willed to
her upon his dying bed. The main fact in the
case-the heirship-is true but we now learn
that it was not to the lover, but to his father,
that Miss Gray is indebted for her extraordi-
nary good fortune. Il seems that the lover on
his return to England, like too many others,
proved incOnstant, and married another lady
against his fathers will. Whether it was re-
morse at his faithlessness or from other cause,
certain it is the young man died in about year
after his marriage, and left all his property to
his father. The old gentleman was without
heirs; and not having become reconcied to his
daughter-in-law, upon his death he left one
half of his property to the Government Of
England and the remaining half, nineteen mil
lion dollars, to Miss Gray, the Fort Edward
milliner. The sum was so large that many
people were disposed to doubt its truth when
it first appeared in print; but Miss Gray has
already received the first instalment Of her
fortune, trihe Of FIVE million dollars, from the
British Consul in New York.

THE MoRMoNs.-It is reported that the
Mormon women at Salt Lake City have held
a mass meeting, to protest against the passage
of Mr. Cullom' Is Anti -polygamy bill, introduc-
ed in the House of Representatives few weeks
ago. THIS circumstance is cited as a singular
exception to the prevailing "Women's Rights"
movement, when the outcry against the subju-
cation of woman to man is both loud and long
One of the speakers at this Salt Lake indigna-
ton meeting is reported to have said, 81 am
thankful that l have the privilege of being one
of the recipients of one of the greatest princi-
pies ever revealed to man for his redemption
and exaltation, namely, plurality of wives. -
The subjugation of the intellect of these unfor-
tunate women to the Overpowering control oi
their prophet is greatly to be lamented, but il
has probably been caused by the same aberra
ton that induces other women to throw off al
control. The meeting Of the women at Sal
Lake City, it is believed, was called through
the astute management of Brigham Yonug
who, in this way, brings prominently before tn,
public the very persons supposed to be th'
greatest sufferers by the system of polygamy.

WOMAN IN ADVERsITY.-Whereis is the man
that cannot confirm the truth of the following
sensible remarks:
Woman should be more trusted and confided
in as wives, mothers and sisters. They have a
quick perception of right and wrong, and, with
out always knowing why, read the present and
the future, read characters and acts, designs and
probabilities, where man sees no letter or sign.
What else do we mean by mother wit, save
that a woman has a keener perception and a
reader invention than man2 How often, when
Inan abandons the helm in despair, woman
seizes it, and carries the home ship through
the STORM Man often flies from home and
family to avoid impending ruin Woman sell
dom, if ever, forsook home thus. Woman
never evaded mere temporal calamity by suicide
or desertion. The proud banker, rather than
live to see his property gazetted, may blow out
his brains and leave his wife and children to
want, protectOrless Loving woman would
have counseed him to accept poverty, and live
10 cherish his family and relieve his fortune,
| Woman should be couDseled and confided in.
IL Is the beauty and glory of her nature, that
it instinctively grasps at and cings TO the truth
and right. Reason, mans greatest faculty,
takes time TO hesitate before it decides bui
woman's instinct never hestates in its decision
aud is scarcely ever wrong where II has ever
chances with reason, Womanfees where mar
thinks, acts where he deliberates, hopes wher,
he dispairs, and triumphs where he falls ar.

The doctrine of Infalibility is even now uu.
dergoing the roughest trial, if the news from

likeness OF W. &. Budd, formerly OF the
San Francisco Board of Brokers, 4
statement Ofa suit in New York grow
ing out of an attempted corner in the
Gold Hill Mining Company. Sam. G.
Reed, Esq, an eminent lawyer, gave
his notes to McKinny for s., 200 IN
payment of 1000 shares of the stock,
which was put into the hands of
Walker, a broker, to get up a spool"
The scheme failed, and Reed resisted
payment OIL the ground OF fraudulent
representations OH the part Of Nc
Kinny. The Judge charged that the
liability Of Reed to pay the notes was
unimpaired by the transactions. The
Judge remarked /: "The real question
In tho case Is not whether there was n
conspiracy to deceive the public Into
buying something different in the
shape of stocks from what they had 4
right to suppose they were buying, but
whether that ~oifense, If committed,
can he taken advantage of by Mr..
Reed as against his coadjutors, so as to
render him not liable on certain notes
given to some of his friends to enable
them to float tho stock and to form
the corner, and which notes are now
held by innocent parties. When it is
known that stockholders, organizers,
directors and others who aid in such
companies, and who publish false
statements and prOspcctrBcs or who
lend themselves in any way to such
acts, thereby inducing the public to
become shareholders, are subject to
lose all the money they invest III the

THERE Is no little croaking among
outsiders rs to. the business and iinail-
cial situation Of the country Dull
trade and frequent failures have been
so Often repeated that many well In
tentloncd persons have been brought
to the conclusion that we are approach
ing a crisis that will carry n large por-
ton of the business mcn of the coun-
try into bankruptcy. Trade, for the
last half of the year, has not shown
that hustle that we have sometimes
witnessed, and many articles of pro-
duce are certainly lower. But inquiry
among individuals has left the impress
sion on our mind that the markets
have been moderately active In nearly
all commercial departments, and that
tho aggregate amount of business in
the channels of legitimate trade Is
now. probably, rs large as usual at
this stage of the season, but there is
much less speculative animation, and
prices Of most descriptions of mcrcllan-
disc show a decline from the earlier
rates. The demand for money Is less
active from dealers In speculative
stocks, o fact encouraging to holders.
And, rs regards failures In business,
we believe these in number and amount
to have been greatly aggravated by
idle reports, There have been numer-'
Gus failures, it Is true, but nothing that
points to q general disruption Of bust
ness. Indeed, the reports of the
"Commercial Agencies" which, VIC
suppose, approximate truth, give fig
ures showing that both failures and
the amount Of losses in 1869 are rcla-
lively about the same as they were In
1893. The proceedings In Bankruptcy
in 1869 go to prove the same fact

LETTER FROM ~wAsnINeToN.

Correspondence OF the Cincinnati Timcs.l
WASHINGTON, Jan, II, 1S70.-I don't
know What will become of q majority
of congressman when the reconstruc-
ton question is thoroughly "played
out" For the last five years "Recol-
struction,," and the late rebellion toge-
Their with the unfortunate rebels, have
furnished the stock in trade Of nearly
all the speeches that have been dcliv-
cred in either House. The grave dig
ger In Hamlet laid IL down asa settled
principle that san act hath three
bnnches." He could not certainly
have known anything of the Recon-
struction "acts," or If Inc did. his
brain was less fertile in discovering
"branches than those OfIOurs astute
Senators and Representatives.
They have found q hundred "bran-
ches to every ''act," and these ,liayc
buddcd into as many thousand speech
cs. The Senate lost its gravity, and
laughed heartily, the other day when
NyG told the "woodchlck story" at
Summers expense. Sumner Is not the
only Senator to whom that story is
| applicable. Many a Senator and many
a member has hammered away at the.
dead States" day after day rs Wig
ororsly as Nye's clown beat the dead
woodcluck "to convince the wood
chucks generally that there is punish
mcnt after DEATH" Virginia, the
mother of statesmen, us the Democrats
like to call her, has just been admitted
after the usual '~'beating." The de-
bate over her lrs run through Il week
in each House, not to speak of the
large number Of members, who IN
default of getting their speeches in had
"leave to print"
They might all have obtained 'lcavc
to print" for all the new light the
country had on the subject. |
have heard the same ideas, the same
arguments, and almost the same lar-
gllage for the last five years, whenever
one of the "wayward sisters" came
knocking at the doors of Congress. IT
seems us if the Congressman were
afraid their constituents would forget
precisely how they stood on this ques-
ton of reconstruction, If they did not
take OCCASION every session to repeat
themselves for the hundred and first
time in the unparalleled stupid paper,
the Globe. There are only u few more
chances left for the displays of cheap
patriotism, illogical argument and
Indifferent oratory. Texas, MissiS-
sippi and Georgia-wlIen they shall
have returned and are safely within the
National fold, what will Congress do
for "dead woOdchucks OH which to
demonstrate the possibility of punish
ment after death?
