The Dead Returned TO Iife--A
French Story.
Two Partisan merchants, strongly
united in friendship, had each one child,
of different sexes, who early contracted
a strong inclination for each other which
was cherished by the parents, and they
aattered with the expectation of being
Joined together for life. Unfortunately,
at the time they thought themselves on
the point of completing this long-wished-
for union, man far advanced in years.
and possessed of an immense fortune,
cast his eyes on the young lady and made
honorable proposals; her parents could
not resist the temptation of son-in-law
in such affluent circumstances, and
forced her to comply.
AS soon as the knot was tied she
strictly enjoined her former lover never
to see her, and patiently submitted to
her fate; but the anxiety Of her mind
preyed upon her body and threw her
into lingering disorder which appa-
rently carried her off, and she was con-
signed to the grave.
AS soon as the news of this mean-
choly event reached her lover his afflic-
ton was doubled-being deprived of all
hopes of her widowhood; but recollect-
ing that in her youth she had been for
some time in lethargy, his hopes re-
vived and hurried him to the place of
her burial, where good bribe procured
the sections permission to dig her up,
which he performed, and removed her to
place of safety, where by proper
methods he revived the almost extin-
guished spark of life.
Great was her surprise at finding the
state she had been in, and probably as
great was her pleasure at the means by
which she had been recalled from the
grave. AS soon as she was sufficiently
recovered, the lover laid his claim; and
his reasons, supported by powerful in
clination on her side, we're too strong
for her to resist; but as France was no
longer a place of safety for them they
agreed to remove to England, where they
continued ten years, when strong in
elination of visiting their native country
seized them, which they thought they
might safely crafty, and accordingly
performed the voyage.
The lady was so unfortunate as to be
known by her old husband whom she
met in public walk, and all endeavors
to disguise herself were Intellectual. He
laid his claim to her before court of
Justice, and the lover defended his right,
alleging the husband, by burying her,
had forfeited his title, and that he had
acquired just one by freeing her from
the grave and delivering hes from the
jaws of death.
These reasons, whatever weight they
might have in court where love pre-
sided, seemed to have little effect upon
the grave sages of the law; and the lady
and her lover, not thinking it safe to
wait the determination of the court,
prudently retired out Of the kingdom.

A POLYGAMIC STORY.
A NOW Outrage or the Law.

new outrage OF the LaWs
From the Salt Lake Tribune, August 81
At the Mormon Endowment house, on
Monday next, will be celebrated another
polygamous marriage. On this occasion
two more virgins will be offered upon
the altar of the celestials in pursuance
of the policy of the Lords anointed, "
to tie his knots up right and snug. The
story is one of Brigham's chief Clerks,
who, in his family connection, is some
thing Of a cousin-german to the city
treasurer. The case is decidedly unique,
and it will not only constitute the last
"celestial" outrage against our common
law, but also give striking caricature
of the polygamic romances. 1t would
be suggestive of rich burlesque Of Clos
ter wooing two Lady AIMS, in one great
scene, to be performed at the Salt Lake
theatre on the next occasion of the vari-
alton of King Dick.

found first a charming maiden from
mountainous Wales, who is, as her name
indicates, pure descendant of the an

this country by a missionary from Utah,
who is a countryman of the fair damsel.
To him she was engaged by promise Of
marriage which could not be performed
in the old country, the young missionary
being already married. Arriving in
Zion, the match was broken of, but one,
the handsome-faced widower from court,

The Troubles in CharIestOn-Out-
RACES ON German Citizens.

The Charleston Is. c. Courier OF
Tuesday says that the colored Republi-
cans in that city seem determined to
avenge The defeat their party has suf-
fered by assaulting the Germans. The
deeds of rowdyism, thieving and perse-
cution they carried on Saturday night
last we're terrible. They formed in squads
of fifty to seventy-6ve, paraded the
streets, infiicting as much injury on the
German storekeepers that they came
across in their line of march as they
could. They walked into the different
stores they met with, drank what they
wanted, and purchased goods, and as
soon as they got them in their pos
session ran off with them. The
wives of the Germans so perse-
cuted were terribly alarmed, some
of whom were at home alone. They in
dulged in insulting language, brandished
sticks fired pistols and declared war
against Germans generally. At the
corner of King and Tradd streets they
appeared fifty in number, made a rush
for Loggerman's grocery to get hold of
two colored men therein, whom they in
tended to kill for voting the Conserva-
tive ticket. They were so violent that
a message had to be dispatched to the
guardhouse for a force of policemen to
disperse them. The colored men inside
Of the store, whom they were waiting to
kill, had to be relieved of their perilous
situation by the policemen, who escorted
them to a place of safety.

Fashionable Hotel Life I'm New
York.

IOFA.
Correspondence st. Louis Republican
There are ten hotels here kept on the
European plan, in each Of which some
one hundred persons board. These
families pay for suit Of rooms, con-
sisting of parlor and bedroom. from
$l5 to $50 a day. Let the reader fix his
eye at the fgure-$l5 to $50 day for
two or three roomsl This price is paid,
no matter whether the guest stays a
week or two years. In the Grand
Hotel there are few suits which are
higher-$3O0 week. But the average
is not so high. You can get two good
sized rooms in most of the European
hotels for 5000 week, or $40, 900 a year
With regard to your meals, you pay for
what you eat. You pay for peas, fifty
cents; for a cup of coffee, fifty cents
An examination of restaurant bills in
in one of these hotels gave the following
result: Average for breakfast, tone per
son. 50; for dinner, $40 or $ll; for
supper, about s. or Sc. A whole
family can live somewhat cheaper, for
of some of the dishes, as for instance of
beef, an order for one will bring enough
for two. But, on the whole, the result is
pretty much the same A family of
three persons will, living economically,
spend, easily, $50 or $40 day on their
meals, which would amount in the year
to more than $4,000; $4,000 for meals
and $4,000 for two rooms make $20, ,000
Most of the families boarding in these ho-
tells keep carriages; they give little din
ner parties-they are excused from even
ing entertainments by society in consid-
Grafton of these fine dinners; they spend
the summer in Europe, or at a watering
place; their girls have the most fashion
able dress-makers, and the best masters
1t costs them $4,000 or $4,000 to exc
out their existence. They might have
grand brown stone-front house for $l0,-
900 year, but then they would be
afflicted with dozen servants. You ask
one of the boarders of the hotel, "Why
don't you keep house2" and you will
find that in most cases woman is at
the bottom Of this extravaganza. Either
she is in " delicate health, or she can
not get along with the help" And so
they leave their home and its privacy
and independence to go into two apart
ments, and to pay for them price with
which you could rent a palace, But the
society of the hotel recompensates them.
There are handsome you-g lords, and
dsshing young bucks of the Union, and
the Union League Club coming there all
the time, who are sure to admire them
when they come down to dinner in grand
state, and who will keep them company
if they should get lonely in the absence
of their husbands. 1t is delightful life
to one that likes to do nothing. A wo-
man in delicate health " will find here
rest and deliverance from all household
troubles. There are plenty of good rock
ing-chairs in which they can recuperate
by the delightful motion. The only bur-
den of theirs is dress. They submit to
the trouble for the sake of evading the
others, and gladly dress three times
day for the company of admiring young
gentlemen and curious young ladies
waiting for their appearance in the res
