Saints, Brigham Young to Mrs. J. r.

A PRosECUT:oN in England discovered
the fact that the head workwoman in a
large factory at Barking has been in the
habit of f1ogging the girls in her employ,
for even the most trifling offences. The
discipline was as severe as in the navy.
The magistrate who tried the case dis
missed the wOrkwoman because the girls
had signed contract in which "they
agreed to be whipped if guilty of misde-
meanor."
A MAN in Sacramento city has sued a
savings bank for one thousand dollars de-
posted by his wife, who died recently.
The wife deposited the money in her own
name, with an order that in the event of
her death the amount should be paid to a
certain reverend father of the Catholic
Church, in trust for the benefit of her
children. The bank refused TO pay the
money to the husband without an order
of the court.
THEY say that fifty young Radicals in
Paris have sworn to avenge the death of
Victor Noir, in case merely nominal pun
ishment should be inflicted on Prince
Pierre Napoleon. They propose to chal-
lenge the Prince successively, until one
of them succeeds in killing him. In case
the Prince should refuse to met them Gin
the field of honor" they will, by turn,
watch for him on the streets, and insult
him in public.

A REMARKABLE piece of modern Quix-
otism is related by the Dresden Nacwich-
ten: "Near Altschatz there is an old
windmill, the sails of which, according to
its owner, make sixty revolutions in
minute during strong wind. A youthful
Count, who is at present serving in the
Russian army, asked the miller to be al
lowed to ride his horse between the sails
when they were going round at full speed.
The miller granted the request, and the
youthful Don Quixote urged his steed at
topmost speed toward the whirling sails.
Strange to say, the horse was only slight
ly grazed on the haunch by one of the
sails. The rider, who had set his life upon
this feat, escaped unhurt."
CoURTEsY.-A correspondent of the
C0ngregot60n0Ist calls the attention of
boys-farmers' boys and all others,-to
word of counsel in behalf of courtesy
"Some seem to think that courtesy can
be easily gained after one has passed his
school days, and while at school, strive
for the attainment of every other element
of successful life more than this Such
greatly mistake, for in most cases courtesy
is the result of long and patient endeavor,
and is valuable in proportion as it is habit
ual How often is the remark made Of
men of sound sense and respectable ac-
quirements, that they show lack of carly
culture, which Is often equivalent to say
ing that they made the mistake of
neglecting courtesy in their boyhood.
Now is the time for you to become cour-
teous. Begin, in your intercourse with
your school mates, to treat others in the
same kind and considerate manner in
which you would yourself be treated.
Obedience to the command, be courte-
ous' is but compliance in the minuti@ OF
our social action with the golden rule"
