we suppose, will lecture upon him, unless
the funny style should have passed into dis
use. The Byronian mania was bad enough;
it wasn't pleasant to have all our young
poets groaning and numbering about their
destiny; but isn't it just possible that we
may have little too much of what has
been called 1--WE do not know why) Ameri-

mainly of bad spelling and syntax? The

literature have, some of them at least, plenty

THE REVENUE BILE.

This very important bill is stih pending
before the Legislature and elicitine the
raalengtaiest and sblest debate of the session.
50 The gentlemen who are wafring upon the
Recommendations of the Governor, have
not in our 90 opinion oEerthrown
either his facts, his figures Or
his reasons. Should they be success
ful on the vote, we de solemnly believe that
they and their constituents viii regret their
course within less than a twelve-month.
We have confidence in the integrity, discre-
ton and calculation of his Excellency.
The members of the Legislature draw their
pay in cash from the treasury. We ask
them TO SO fix the revenue that all who re
ceive Comptroller's warrants may receive
the cash for them and no longer have
to submit to the SLAVES of brokers and spec
ulators, TO avoid speculation inIhese little
evidences Of State indebtedness, let our leg
fslators give us a revenue which win deprive
Spectators Of their occupation. The De-
mocraey Of the State expect that their Rep
resentatiEes willdo at least this much for the
public welfare .-sasaas8 q s-sl E-l-E -slsl

SALT LAKE, Nov. 15.-The United

After dispOsing of some unimportant civil
matters it adjourned until Monday next.
One reason for this delay on the criminal
cases is the absence of counsel engaged
IN the mining suits; another is to give am
pie time to all the parties indicted to plead.
Where is Brigham?
Elder George G. Cannon's paper tonight
has a leading article to show that Brigham
Young has right TO travel anywhere with
out question, and is very sarcastic on the
press all over the Union on account of its
curiosity to know Brigham's whereabouts.
Cannon, however, is careful not even to
hint where Brigham has gone or where lie
is.

PHILADELPHIA,
A Knave or aFOOl.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-Mai Cal
houn has sent in his resignation of the
Pension Agency to the Secretary of the
Interior asking him to close his accounts
before his successor takes possession. He
asserts that his reported defalcation is un-
true, and that an examination of his ac.
counts will show balance against the gov,
eminent. A Washington special says that
the most rigid examination does not estab-
lish the fact that he is defaulter, or used
funds with wrong intention. The defici-
ency in his money balance is attributed to
his ignorance of the system of keeping

PERHAPS the most absurd invention ever
patented was the tapewOrm trap of a west
ern doctor. The trap was little gold CAP
sule made in two parts with teeth. When
the patient had been starved long enough to
make the worm hungry, this trap was bait
ed, suspended by a silken threat, and swal-
lowed. When there was bite, the trap
was intended to so off and catch the worm
in its teeth, and trap and worm were to be
hauled upby the thread.
