A New York letter in the st. Louis
Republican contains the following ::
"Josepliine Mansfield is very beau-
tiful woman. The little excitement OF
this Fisk war has reduced her in size
a couple of numbers, and it is an I'M
provement. / saw her yesterday in
the street in her square-cut chariot,
lined with white servants in white liv-
ery. She has beauty enough for a
dozen women. Her features are regu-
lar, her eyes dark and very brilliant,
her hair black and glossy, and her
mouth her prettiest feature, as she has
teeth like pearls. Josie is represent
ed i'm the affidavits as using such Ian
guage as ''Bully for yOu," and "Hun-
XIV boy" Now, l hardly believe that.
On several occasions, when / heard
this famous female discourse, she has
used no slang, and expressed herself
sensibly and intelligntly, betraying no
evidence of the corrupt influence that
has been about her these many years.
She Is All exceedingly generous wo-
man, as many have reason to know.
A few wears ago she took Mrs. Bra
DIV who, with several children, was
struggling for a precarious living
She gave this woman and her chill
dren a home ith her. She dressed
the woman up splendidly, and finally,
as Mrs: Brady had a good voice, per
suaded Fisk to bring her out as Gin
ger. Under the name uf 'Nully Pie
ris,' she sung ut the opera house and
got good salary

WASTEFULNESS.

Many persons are kept poor by waste
and carelessness. They pay double for in
stance in the way they buy provisions, and
lose half in the way they cook them, and
cook twice as much as they need to eat.
Such living pays ont $8 and only gets the
use of 81. Seven dollars lost. When men
use provisions, clothing, or furniture care
lessly they are tearing up greenbacks, and
throwing them in the fire. The true rule is
to buy only what you need; use only as
YOU need.

THE RAILROAD OUTLOOK FOE 1872,


The coming year will be notable one
in the railway history of the Northwest
The Wisconsin Central viii be nearly OF
quite finished to Ashland, if the present
rate ofprogress is maintained as it no doubt
will be. This will open direct and very
important route between Lake Michigan
and Lake Superior, which will not only
greatly shorten the time of travel between
this region, and the region of Milwaukee
and Chicago but will stimulate the build
ing Of several smaller tributary roads, as
well as induce the immediate settlement Of
Northern Wisconsin. But the same gener-
III reasons which will urge forward so rap
idly the construction Of the Wisconsin Cen
tral, will lead to the speedy completion of
one or more lines from the St. CroIx valley
TO Lake Superior.
The time for such lines has fully come.
The construction of the Lake Superior and
Mississippi r. r. has turned the CONNER
cial tide of the Northwest in this direction,
as would have been done Of course by the
construction Of any other railway between
the upper Mississippi and the head Of Lake
Superior. It's the lay Of the land that rules
IN the matter, or rather the lay Of the water,
the projection of such 4 great body of water
rs this Lake SO far into the fertile West.
Lake Michigan was sought by the West as
4 commercial route for the sake of cheap

The proper solution of the Mormon difficulty Is
for Prophet Brigham Young TO forthwith have

away with polygamy upon the condition that the
existing plural marriages shall be made legal nv

marriages legitimized. Undoubtedly the mass or
he Mormons are sincere in their religious faith.
including polygamy, and we cannot wonder AZ
he intense feeling displayed by the Mormon
women over the prospect of being branded by
he United States courts as prostitutes and their
hildren as illegitimats-. Let Uncle Sam recog-
nize the existing 1es6son wives as "honest
women" and the sclution of the Mormon trouhle
is not difficult Probably not more than
one-ffth of the Mormons are practical
Iolygamist, and many of these find the
increasing expenses of keeping up their
numerous households so onerous that they
are quite ready to receive a revelation
ioing away with polygamy. They maintain
hat they sustain polygamy as an act of religious
duty, erjoined upon them by revelation, and
hat if it was merely sensual pleasure thew
sought they could supply il much more cheaply-
according to the practice of the Gentiles-
through mistresses, than by undertaking the
support Of numerous wives and children. This
Icing the case they of course will cheerfully ac-
cept revelation relieving them Of the religions
cross oftaking more wives and becoming respou-
'ible for the support Of more children.
