THE METH0DIsTs MAKE DECENT UPON
THE MoRM0Ns.
We have dispatch from Great Salt
Lake City announcing q grand Methodist
camp meeting in full blast there, in the
heart Of the town. The preaching Is in q
mammoth tent brought over from San
Francisco. Our reporter says that a great
congregation Of Mormons and Gentiles
was gathered to hear the sermon of the
Rev. Mr.. Boole on Monday evening, and
that he dealt some heavy blows against
the new Mormon revelations, which told
well among those followers of Brigham
Young who have been wavering
in their faith IN his infallibility.
This camp meeting, then, is metho-
dist missionary enterprise to carry the
light of the gospel among the polyga-
mists of mormondom and no doubt it will
contribute to weaken the hold Of the Pro-
phet Brigham upon his deluded followers.
Meantime the Gentle miners are crowd
ing into the Salt Lake valleys, and the
Pacific Railroad, in various other ways,
has broken in upon the seclusion of the
| Latter Day Saints, so thatwe think ii may
be safely prophesied that the days of the
| Mormon polygamists in Utah are num-
| bered, and that within few years they
will have disappeared without any fur.

yesterday, in accordance with their

LONDON, January 27.-0n inquiry at
the German Legation yesterday it was
| ascertained that no information of the
capitulation of Paris had been received
there, and up to late hour last night
the report that Favre had made propo-
sition for capitulation remained uncon-

sumed preparations for the siege of Cam

The Prussians have evacuated Dole,
and cut the railroad between Monchord
and Besancon.
Advices from Paris to the 23d have
been received. There occurred for the
first time since the investment scene
which all have been dreading more or
less every day during the dreary four
months. There has been blood shed in
the streets Of Paris, not from the shells
Of the besiegers, but by acts of those
reckless adveDturers who alone have
sought during the siege and the miseries
and misfortunes Of their country the
advancement of their own interests. On
Saturday night a crowd Of citizens at
Belleville, and other quarters, who had
been threatening mischief since The fail
ure of the sortie on the 18th, gathered
in numbers around the prison Of
Masos. where Flouren, Miller and other
political prisoners are inearcerated, and
after various riotous demonstrations
gathered courage in the absence OF OPP
position and made regular attack upon
the prison, beating down the gate with
bludgeons, stones and iron bars. The
jailer and turkeys fed for their lives
leaving the jail free to theSioters, who
opened the cells, releasing the inmates
until they found Flouren, Miller and
their companions, who we're borne forth
in triumph amidst cries Of "a ba'

The cigar has been interviewed, and
here is its history; The first account we
have Of the cigar is found in the works
of Navarrete and Las Casas, and is
quoted by Irving. In describing the
first voyage of Columbus, he says;
"They beheld several of the natives go
ing about with fre-brands in their
hands, and certain dried herbs which
they rolled up in leaf, and, lighting
one end, put the other in their mouths
and continued inhaling and putting out
the smoke. A roll of this kind they
called tabaco," name since transferred
to the plant of which the rolls were
made, though that is the. name by which
the cigar is to-day known in Cuba.

The Senate bill repeating the income
tax met with an unexpected reception
in the House yesterday. The chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee
moved that the bill be returned to the
Senate on the grounds that that body
had no constitutional power to originate
measure relating to taxation. Such
members, which included nearly all the
Democrats, as believed that the Senate
had the right to originate and pass a bill
reducing the revenue, voted against
sending the bill back, but they were over
ruled by large majority, and the bill
was returned with the protest of the
House. This action, it is believed, en-
dangers the prospect Of an abolition OF
the tax for awhile 1t will not only lead
to long debate in the Senate but sub
iect the question to another close test.
In full Senate, it is said, bill of re
peal cannot be passed.
