BRIGHAM YOUNG ON DREss.-A CURIOUS SER
MoN.-The Mormon Church lately held a con
vention in Salt Lake City A few days age
Brigham Young made an address to an immense
audience, estimated at over $4,000 persons.
He said the Latter-day Saints had years ago
received command to gather out from the wick.
ed, to serve God and keep His commandments
Yet to look at them to-day, in appearance there
was little difference between them and the rest
of the world. Still, there is difference.
1t is not fashionable with the Latter-day Saints
to take the name of God in vain, as it is in the
wicked and he would say the vulgar world, no
matter how rich they might be- They were not
guilty of gambling of any kind nor of drinking
as people, but they were somewhat too free in
speaking evil of their neighbors But the point
to which he was led to direct special attention
were fashions. They were too apt to follow
those of the world. If the congregation wanted
to see who were following after fashions they
could look around them and look at their own
bonnets, hats, and other articles of attire He
requested the sisters especially to stop following
the fashions of the wicked In the works of God
there is an eternal variety, and he would not ask
the people to dress in uniformity like the Qua
kers but he asked the sisters to make bonnets
that would shield their heads from the weather
and their faces from the sun. Dresses were next
referred to, and the change of fashion within a
brief space of time. This following after fashion
he considered foolish, and contrary to the spirit
of the Gospel. Some time ago dresses were ex-
tremey long; now they were extra short ; and all
extremes of the kind he characterized as worse
than foolish. He invited the ladies to make
their own head-dresses and encourage industry iu
their families. He reprobated extravaganza and
the purchase of unnecessary articles as spending
of means which should be applied to better and
wiser purposes. The means thus suuandered
would 60 far towards helping to immigrate
the poor; though it was rather discourngng to
bring people from foreign countries and find them
employment, who as soon as they get means
around them would turn against God and his
anointed. But it is better, he said, to help nine
who are unworthy than to pass over one who is
worthy.
He inquired if the brethren and the young sis
ters-all under hundred years of age-would
agree to stop following these foolish fashions,
which was responded to by an uplifting of hands
throughout the vast assembly. He then took
up the subject of " the word Of wisdom" and
urged the people to cease the use of stimulants
of every kind, and warmly advocated home man |
ufactures. 1t was gratifying to know, he said, |
that wool was increasing for the making of wool
en- cloth, and there was a prospect that if the |
factory at Provo were completed, which will be
able to turn out eleven or twelve hundred yards |
OF cloth day, there still would be suffciency |
of wool to meet the demands of the factories.

Prince Alfred ON an Elephant Hunt.

A correspondent of the London Times writes from
Colombo, (Ceylon):
The preparations for the kraal have been going on
for weeks. Herds of Elephants have been watched
and prevented from roaming from the neighborhood
of the kraal; while, as the time for the drive ap
preached, complete Gordon of beaters was formed
round the herds it determined to ensnare. Grad
ually those beaters advanced till they came nearer
each other and the kraal, and at noon on
Saturday they were all within mile of the strong
fence enclosing the kraal. This fence is made of
strong upright posts bound firmly together with jun
gle rope. 1t is about six feet high, and presents
very substantial appearance, many of the supports
being as thick as mans body. The cries of the
beaters continually heard in the neighboring en-
campment at night. By the neat morning it was
found that the elephants were confined in much
smaller area than on the previous day. Before noon
the Ratamahatmeya presented himself to the Gov
ernor. and asked that the drive might take place at
once as the elephants beginning to be trouble
some, and he could not answer what would be the

A cAsT-IRos tunnel, or rather pneumatic tube
under the Strait of Dover is now proposed by engi

explanation of the plan, from which it appears that
it would have run of twenty-five miles, from South
Foreland to Blanc Nez and that the architects, op-
Grating under submarine bell, would push the work
in successive rings along the bottom of the channel
to form the cylinder in which the line Of cars woud

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
On the 18th of the present month the
Red Men of Nashville hold their annual
celebration. Said celebration is to be held
at the Horticultural Garden in North Nash
vile Objections may be raised by some
of your readers on account of the location.
Allow me to explain the objects of this
celebration and how we propose to cele-
brate the day.
The 18th Of May is the day set apart by
Red Men as ST. Tammany's Day, in COM
memoration of the founding of the
order in tine United States. As
Christian societies, the National Govern
ment and all orders in existence in this
country have their festal days so is the 18th
of May to the Red Men.
The Red Men of Nashville have secured
from the proprietor of the horticultural
Gardens the exclusive use of the ground for
that day, and no effort will be spared to
make it the celebration of the season. All Pale
Faces who desire to unite with us on that
| day, can secure a ticket of admission Of
the members of the Order, which will in
sure their welcome. A committee of well
known citizens has been APPOINTED to espe-
cislly guard against any Objec-
nonable persons gaming aonlls-
sior. The programme for the day
will consist of parade through portion
of the city (Which will be made known by
the chief Marshal after which they will
march to the gardens, where an Grafton
will be given by Sachem w. Vance Thomp-
son, of Columbia, Tenn, after which the
baskets will be opened and the contents
examined and partaken of. Then, as it is
supposed, all brothers and visitors will
enter into the full enjoyment of the fes-
tivities of the occasion. The cars OF the
North Nashville street Car Company will
be at the Square to convey all
who desire to attend to the picnic. A
committee of Red Men will be at the cars
to see that the ladies and children are prop
erly cared for.
One of our city bands will discourse
their sweetest music during the parade and
at the garden. A good string band will
also be on the ground to assist those who
enjoy the Light Tripping Measure.
May the motto, Freedom, Friendship
and Charity, accomplish its good work
through the length and breadth of our
common country, is the wish of all true
Red Men.
By order of the Committee of Arrange
ments. A. ]. MoULToN, Sec'y.

Sunday was a day of special interest to
the Sunday School of the Union NJ. E.
Church. 1t being the regular monthly
meeting of the Missionary Society of said
school, there was an unusually large at
Tendance. What added greatly to the in
terest of the occasion, was the presence of
the celebrated Hutchinson family, who sung
for the children several of their beautiful
sacred melodies 1t was a time long to
be remembered by those present.
At night the chapel was crowded, to wit
ness the usual monthly concert by the
children of the Sabbath School,
These monthly concerts have become
very popular with the friends of this -four
ishing school The exercises were exceed
ingly interesting and instructive, and re-
fleet great credit upon the children and
teachers.

ports Of the growing crop. While one Of
our best informed correspondents ventures
the assertion that nearly one-half the crop
of 1863 has not been marketed, from
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois.
We hear that the weather has been exceed
ingly propitious for spring planting. Pros
poets warrant us in the assertion that we
shall have unprecedently low rates of trans
portation the coming summer. Sixteen
cents per bushel is an expected rate for
wheat from Milwaukee deliverable along
side vessel in New York bay. Commodore
Vanderbilt and Jay Gould seem determined
to make the test of their ability to compete
with the canal from Buffalo, while with
commendable spirit our State Legislature
promises speedy reduction of canal tolls.
1t is thought that we shall cripple the trade
to Europe via Montreal with cheapened
rates, and it is claimed that the complete
adjustment of canal tolls, with increasing
ocean tonnage in our port, will recover the
valuable trade diverted by the st. Lawrence

The Wheat 1Iarket-Chcaper Trans
p0rtatiOn, etc,

Messrs. 3. P. Baker & Co., under date
Of April %, writes as follows;
At present writing the leading wheat
markets of the world have an advancing
tendency in prices. Our private advices
by Liverpool cable indicate an advance of
fully 2d. to-day, with some speculative ex-
element. Letters by last steamer read
very hopefully, predicting appreciated
value for all grades of wheat. We quote /:
Although the stock is immense, the con-
sumption is very large, and the scarcity of
Indian corn gives holders increased conf
dence, while good judgment tells US that
present low prices cannot be powerful at
traction to the producing world. Our ex-
peetation of large supplies from the Baltic
and Black Soas are losing ground as the
season advances, while the scarcity of In
dian corn and oats in America would, we
should think, make reluctant sellers.
Then, too, speculative capital is ready to
flow freely to the support of wheat at cur
rent prices" This all seams plausible, but
the writer weakens our faith as he pro-
ceeds: "The weather has been quite
favorable of late, and farmers deliveries
continue in excess of last years, the better
wheat now coming forward. Our -four
market is not all that holders wish" 1t

Melancholy Death.

Seldom have we been more panied in
announcing the death of any one than we
are in that of Mrs. Sallie E. Bransford,
wife of r. G. Bransford, which sad event
occurred at the Maxwell House yesterday
afternoon. Young in years, tender in her
feelings and devoted in her affections, she
was the idol of her husband and pure as
the May flowers that bloom around US, and
good as the angels in paradise among
which she is now numbered. Her death.
has created a vacancy in the social circle
that cannot be filed, severed golden link
in the chain of friendships 80 be united
nevermore in this world, and left void in
her husbands heart that time may never
heal. The bereayed ones have our sincere
sympathy in their sad andsudden affection,
and they have, too, that higher consolation
of which religion teaches that she has gone
to a better and brighter world 9sI
