For some days, and up to the time of the cur
rent rain, this city has been covered with jIst
such pail CT smoke of yellowish color and
woody smell a prevails in California at seasons
and which, according to Pacific slope theory.
~ the p7emonitor OF earthquakes. Another ami
doubtless the true theory is, however, that the
California smoke comes from great fires in the
woods of Washington Territory and Oregon and
has no connection with earthquakes. The mvs
ferrous smoke prevailing here is undoubtedly
from the CREATURES raging in the woods OF Can
ada, IN the neighborhood Of Ottawa. The New
York Post says that the az was 50 smoky in that
vicinity Monday night as to rctaTd the arrival
OF the Fall River boats, and the condition Of the
atmosphere there is attributable to the same
cause.-The Canadian fire. This fire has been
burning for several weeks, but il seems to have
reached its height in the woods around Ottawa
on the night OF the 18th, when the citizens
feared lest the whole town might be laid in
ashes 1t Was dangerous to be out OF doors on
account OF the furious blast OF smoke and Gin
ders that swept through the streets The loss
OF life hy tie fire is large, and the destruction of
property immense. Two thousand persons it IL
stated, have been rendered homeless. and the
value OF the buildings and crops consumed Il
estinaSd az two millions Of dollars.

Inc press OF the country generally credit DR..
Newman with pluck and excellent intentions in
his undertaking to beard Polygamy in its den
but for the most part characterize his zeal as of
the CuiNotc order. The New York Tribune
thinks it "must have required q good deal of en-
thUsiasm to go all that distance to refute what
all virtuous persons consider to be an immoral,
ty and all sensible persons an absurdity." In
regard to the Doctors arguments the 7riyaa.
says:
.. Much as we respect Mr.. Newman. We do
not consider that such Of them as were drawn
from the manners and customs of the Jews had
any Peiunence or consequence. We believe
49, win Chrstanity came better and
nooler and purer Dispensaton. The polyga
my OF the Jews, or the concubinsce, was lem
PoTaTy and local, and not OF Divine ordination.
now practice it?" ~
The New York Express holds that
Instead of doing the cause of morals a ser
vice, Ar. Newman las by going to Salt Lake
uncovered very unsayory mass OF anti Chris
tan sophistry and venom which he lacks the
ability 10 confute, and which will spread moral
poison all over the country"
The Ttmss argues that the Fictitious import
ahce which the discussion viii give to the Nor
mon views OF the marriage re alton j. greatly to
he deprecated. BY engaging in it DIR. Newman
virtually admits that the laws prohibiting poly
samy are based upon an Interpretation, which
may be night or wrong, OF the Sacred Scrip
tures Poiygsmy finds no favor among any
people who have reached an advanced post In
civilization, ''but its sturdiest enemies" saws
the Times, will be annoyed at the spectacle of
alearned, earnest man sitting down graveIy to
dispute its Divine authorization with the leaders
OF people who practice it in obedience to the
pretended revelations vouchsafed to an illiterste
impOster."
The y. y. Nal, however, thinks that Dr.
Newman has disposed of the Mormon texts in a
way TO make decided impression, and holds
that the discussion is one Of the first steps in
the peaceful process OF weakening the founda-
tons OF Mormonism.
