blessing of an earthly nature conferred
by the great Creator on poor decaying

ual to learn something of the causes of
disease, and exercise the wisdom neces-
sary tx prevent its taking a deep hold on
the vital organs.
Let the public once be awakened to the
great truth, that, without prompt and
perfect digestion there can be no perma-
nent health, and the mystery of diseaseis
removed, and thousands of invalids can
be speedily placed on the high road to
health. Thousands of sufferers are pay
ing the Family Physician largely, every
year, to tell them in mysterious language
what are their ailments, and to prescribe
for their aches and pains in language still
more mysterious, only to find themselves
still suffering as the weary years roll on,
when all their distress can be summed up
in the simple words: Indigestion, Dys-
pepsia! 1t is erroneous to believe as
thousands do that the only evidence of
dyspepsia is a distress in the stomach af-
ter eating! C%ostiveness, diarrhea, pains
in the limbs, back, and head, dizziness,
neuralgia and rheumatic pains, loss of
appetite, nausea, restless sleep, &C.,
are legitimate evidences of the presence
of this dreadful disease, and when any of
these difficulties present themselves they
should receive prompt attention and thus
arrest the monster at the Threshold and
prevent his entering the sacred temple of

There used to be a pious old negro in
Boston named Caesar, and he was in the
habit of praying SO loudly as to be heard
by many of the neighbors. On retiring
for the night his petition invariably was
lord, send dy angel for ole Casar-ole
Caesar always ready" One evening two
times bored by his "style," thought they
would try him on. They took position
at his door, and when the usual petition
was made that sthe Lord would send the
angel" ole Caesar being always ready,
they knocked loudly at the door.
eWho dar ?'' said the darkey.
"The angel of the Lord, come for old
Cesar was the reply.
Out went the light, a scrambling into
bed was heard, and then, in trembling
voice, that same old uncle said $50 way,
dar! go way! Ole Cesar bin dead dis ten

Salt Lake.

With tho conviction and sentence of IIAw
kINs for adultery, begins the war upon Nor
mon polygamy in Utah. Through several
Presidential administrations, it has been suf
fercd to flourish and spread in that distant
section. The building of the Pacific Rail
road and tho great influx to that portion Of
the country, in search of the precious metals
nave brought Nlormonism nearer to christian
civilization and laid bare its sinful. not to
say, political hcrcsics. 10 cut OF, oxtirpate
and utterly destroy these, seems to be the
purpose of the present administration. On
the sido OF power Il prosecutor OF iuformcr is
seldom wantcd in vain. Such is the case in
Utah. Polygamy, the great social aud polit
zeal evil of that people, Is dwarf to the
other crimes being brought to light. Murder
and robbery have been traced to several Of
the leading Mormons. TIE mayor of Salt
Lake, and several prominent citizens of the
city, have been arrested on the charge Of
murder. There is a general scattering of the
apostles aud saints, and even the great chief
and prophet, BR'ouAM YoUNo, is seeking
healthier aud mildcr climate southwark. The
cwtY ork sAs'utH, summing up the crimes
OF Morlnons, has tho following, which may
prove the beginning of the discovery of CHAR
gcs which must end in tho entire suppression
or exile of this race of adutcrcrs !:
'Tic most horrible of all the crimes char
gcd upon the Mormon olicarchy i, the
NIountan Meadow massacre Of September,
1871. In the spring of that year ravoritc
Mormon apostle, Farley p Pratt, while tray
clliry in Arkansas, was waylaid and killed by
one Hector Mclean, whose wife ho had con
vertcd to MormonisM and taken to himself.
In September OF that same year a large emf.
grant party OF one hIa.ired and fifty or sixty
persons--mcn, women and children with
their horses, mules and OK wagons, conveying
stores OF clothing aud valuablcs, en- yoDfc TO
California, were tycachcrously invested and
massacrcd, excepting some seventeen chill
drcn, at Mountain Meadows, ia Utah The
massacre was reported to be by band of In
dlans, but the charge and the evidence
against the Moriaons that it was their work
and a scheme for revenge and plunder is
very strong. And why not the Normons? ?
There was everything in their antcccdcnIs.
Their prosecutions and the teachings OF their
prophet to incite them to crime. lie had
schoolcd them to the commission of any
crime that would dnstry an cncmy as a rcli
glous duty, and he had himself learned to
defy the general government and to proclaim
himself as above it in the service of the Lord,
anu his superstitious followers believed him"

Uniform Divorce Law.

movement on the part Of the anti suffrage
women, by which they propose to outaank
the TlLToN-W Woodruff. snhiaglss. Deny
ing that the constitution, as it stauds, gives
the right Of suffrage to women, they pro-
pose, as the 10th amendment, provision
of the United States Constitution establishing
a uniform system Of divorce laws They
claim that the looscncss Of the divorce laws
of Indiana impcril the property and marital
rights OF every woman from Maine to Callor
MIA and that the evils growing out of such
laws arc sufficiently grave to require the inter
florence Of Congress. Senator TRuMDULL
has been selected as thc champion to take
charge Of this amendment, the adoption of
which, they believe, will secure to American
women all the rights they now care to cxcr
else. Per conh0 the Woman Club have
adopted resolution to the effect that the
chief and radical roncdy for the social evil
lies in the political enfranchisemcnt and
thence personal cmanci patton Of woman.
