EARL PRINTING.-It ia relate ell
that Faust, of Mentz, to whom
the homer of printing is ascribed,
having carried some Of his Bibles
to Paris and offered them for sale
as manuscripts, the French, after
considering the number of the
books, and their exactness, couclu,
ded there was witchcraft in the
case, and, by either actually indie
ting him as conjuror, or threaten
ing to do so, they extorted the Sc
cret; hence the origin OF Unpopular
story Of the devil and Doctor
Faustus.

Several counties in South
Carolina are still groaning
under military despotism. The
people there have suffered
much, and their suffering is
causing so general pity for
them and us, that it is having
the effect to increase the op-
position to Grant. Thus al
great wrongs do some good.
The people are also begin
Mig to pity the Mormons and
TO accept the idea which las
been advanced in our columns,
which is that the Normcns
should be suffered to keep the
wives they have, but not here
after to make plural marriages.

Thanksgiving day came and
went with us, Of this vicinity,
unnoticed. Nearly every pa
per we pick up. favors the
keeping of this day. We do
not. The government has no
right to prescribe to US days
when we shall feast or fast. Ii
is meddling with our religion.
1t is an attempt to revive old
puritanical and Jewish Gus
toms, which are in opposition
to the enlightenment of the
age. We think that we can
safely say, that a nation can
not benefit itself By prescribing
religious rites, which the peo-
pie observe only for form sake.
and especially when those
rites lead directly, in nine
cases out of ten, to a violation
by individuals of Gods laws.
Commanding and drunkenness
are reprobated by the Deity,
as is clearly shown. by the
evil consequences of them. So
also is fasting Thanksgiving
is now but another name for
gluttony.
We like some Of the Yankee
customs, but thanksgivings
and fasts are not among them.
