that her income has averaged 81 600 .
year since she began to lecture, which vas,
We believe, eleven years ago. Until Miss
Logan made her appearance as lecturer,
Miss Dickinson stood unrivaled Id her
sphere, and it was feared BY the friends Of
the latter, that Miss Dickcnsou's, business
would suffer. The contrary has been the
case. Miss Dickenson's 8 income last season
was SIS, 900 larger than ever before Miss,
Logan's income has averaged $4,000 e
year, since she began to lecture three years
ago-exactly double, Miss Dickinson's av-
erage. These facts speak volumes in proof
Of the recent growth Of tho lecture busf3

The Mormon difficulties seem not to
subsidc. Brigham Young was arrested
last week, but owing to sickness could not
appear before the court. He was allowed
to remain at bis house under promise Of
appearing in a few days. He then pre-
tended submission, but on Wednesday q
special conference Of the church was held
at which bis son, with others, applied the
most bitter language to the Government
and its officials, praying God to curse
them all together. Mormouism in its
original form being the modern embodi-
ment Of Theocratic principles, was in op.
position to the spirit Off Republican gov
ernment, but on account Of the mere faith
alone could not be interfered with. When
some years ago the practice Of polygamy
was introduced, however, our statute laws
we're violated, polygamy being nothing but
adultery. This gave our officials right
to interfere. They have done SO BY or
dering the arrest Of Young aud some 9th.
ers on this charge Where the difficulty
will end is not to be foretold. ~'

Of those who paid the larger proportion Of

Ttisa singular fact that Radical indig-

territory. In only two or three counties
