Below we publish letter from Nor.
mondom, written by Mrs. Lucy A. War
die to her brother, Mr. N. Foster, of this
village.
About twenty two years ago Mrs. War
die started with her husband to omigrate
to California. Their route lay through
Salt Lake City, at which point they stop
ped few days to procure supplies and
give rest to their jaded animals The
next day or two after reaching the Nor
mon capital the husband of Mrs War
die was foully murdered by the saints,
and his property confscated. Mrs. W.
found herself penniless and friendless in
a strange land, and so far from home
that, in the condition in which the coun-
try then was, she could not return. She
was not made aware of how her husband
had met his death until long time after
ward, and in the meantime was induced
to marry Mormon. For a time her
new husband treated her with some little
affection, but ere long he grew more and
more matrimonially inclined, and pro-
ceeded to marry new wives as often as
opportunity offered, and at the present
time has about fourteen. With every
new conner Mrs W.'s troubles were in
creased, and the last addition has proved
too much for her endurance, and she
emphatically AYERS that she will no longer
submit to the tyranny Of her tormentor,
let the consequences be what they may.

A Supposed Dead Lady Returns
% Life.

On Tuesday of last week, Mrs. Nellie
s., wife of g. L. Reynolds, of Ozaukee,
Wis, closed her eyes on sublunary things,
having previously requested that her
corpse be forwarded to her parents bury
ing ground, Rochester, N. Y. So they
placed her in metallic coffin and express
ed her eastward. Before reaching Ro-
chester, however, the lady revived from
her trance, aud concluded she did not
want to be buried Just yet. So she rais-
ed such a racket in her coffin that the
express messenger was obliged to let her
out. She passed through Chicago, on
her way home, last Saturday. She re-
fused to telegraph to her husband TO be
at the depot to meet her, saying she
wished TO surprise him." We rather
think she Chicago Journal.

DIET OF THE ANcIENTs.-Th differ
enee between the diet of the ancients
and that of US moderns is very striking.
The ancient Greeks and Romans used
not alcoholic liquor, it being unknown to
them, nor coffee, nor tea, nor chocolate,
nor sugar, nor even butter, for Galen
tells US that he had never seen butter but
once In his life. They were ignorant of
the greater number of our tropical spices,
as Glove, nutmeg, mace, ginger, Jamaica
pepper, curry, pimento. They used neith-
er buckwheat nor French beans, nor
spinach, nor sage, tapioca, arrowroot nor
the potato in its varieties not even the
common, but a sort of marsh h-grown
bean not many of our fruits, as the
orange, tamariud, nor American maize
On the contrary they ate substances
which we now neglect, the mallow, the
herb, oxtongue, the sweet acorn. the
lupin. They liked the flesh of wild
asses, dogs, the dormouse, the fox and
the bear.

Be Bulwer says that
poverty is only an idea in nine cases out
of ten. Some men with only $4,000 a
year suffer more for want of means than
others with $500. The reason is, the
richer man has artificial wants. His In
come is $4,000 year, and he suffers
enough for being dunned for unpaid
debts to kill sensitive man. A man
who earns dollar day and does not go
into debt, is the happier of the two.
Very few people who have never been
rich will believe this, but it is true.
There are thousands and thousands with
princely incomes who never know a
minutes peace, because they live beyond
their means. There is really more hap
piness among the working men in the
world than among those who are called
rich.

vaiuable Invention.

An instrument has been invented thai
marks "the ebb of time," showing
how many minutes there are prior
to any event. If placed in the postoffice
it reads "Mails open in thirty minutes >
and minute later it reads "in twenty
nine minutes then in twenty eight, and
so on. At a railway station it reads
''this train leaves in ten minutes" then
eight, etc., and when the index reaches 0
the train starts. Thus any passenger,
on entering a station, knows just how
much time he has for getting tickets,
checks, newspaper and seat, without
consulting watch or clock to ascertain
the hour of daY.

a vision OF 1900.

Can any one realize the exceedingly
probable fact that in 1900-only twenty
nine years from now-the population OF
the United States will number 75, 600,
600 of citizens? Yet, says a contempo-
rary, Mr. Samuel f. Ruggles proves that
this will be the case, without making al
lowance for annexations, North and
South, that will certainly come about,
Mr.. Sumner and all others to the contra
ry notwithstanding. He shows the rea-
sons for his prophecy in figures, and al
though the old saw that Figures won't
lie' is the most unveracious of proverbs.
Mr.. Ruggles' figures have acquired a
reputation Of their own and a good one
at that For the past thirty or forty
years, be has been figuring about our in
ternal and domestic commerce; and, al
though he has often been accused of ro
mancing in figures, the facts have always
sustained his predictions. When, there
fore, the ablest, the most experienced, aud
most trustworthy statistician now living,
tells US that We shall have population
of 75,000,000 in 1900, the younger part
of the present generation may as well
consider what awaits them In their ma
turity and old age. Seventy five millions
of people in the United States implies
the settlement of the entire South and
West by as dense population as that of

CLEANLINESS NEXT TO GOODNESS

CLEANLINESS NEXT TO GOODNESS
Wesley was the only revival preacher
we ever heard of that had the moral cour-
age to tell his hearers, "Cleanse your per-
sons and dwellings, else l shall never
believe that you have cleansed your
soulsl'' Wesley's directions to his
preachers on this matter are models of
plain speaking. SO often did he repeat
his favorite saying, and to such good
purpose, that among his people clean
liness became not only household word
but a household virtue; and to this day
many Wesleyans regard the words that
head our article as a saving of Holy Writ
Treasury.

Forrest, BrOVVnIOSv and the Ku-
kIuX,


Governor Brownlow, in a card which
We publish this morning, complains that
the testimony of General Forrest before
the Kuklux COMMITTEES the other day
wssss.ot only in the abstract sup31ressi0
rerf, but IN many material points the
very reverse of what the General swore
to. The ex@Governor insists that it was
on account of the operations of the Ku.
klux Klan that he called his militia into
the field. AS between the Ku klux and
the militia, so far as any interest we may
have in either is concerned. "honors are
easy" But it is unfortunate for the ex-
Governors argument, that the facts do
not sustain it, unless he takes refuge in
the fgurative language that the Ku- klux
Klan was in existence in 1862 when For
rest led brigade of them at Fort Pill
low That the organization of the mill
tia preceded that of the Ku-klux is one
of the most familiar facts in the history
Of Tennessee while under Radical rule
In fact, was clear case of cause and
effect, the Ku klux insisting from the
very outset that their operations were
purely self defensive-intended to
protect the people from the
depredations of the militia, and not to
resist the execution of the laws. Had
the militia not been called out the ghost
ly brotherhood would never have been
heard Of in Tennessee. e.-Bdnaer.

VERMONT MEDICAL SOCIETY. The Vermont
Medical Society held its semi-annual session
at the Welden House in St Adams on
Wednesday.
The forenoon was occupied with disc Is-
sion upon Ghf0raZ Hydrat and az the open
ng of the afternoon session paper was read
by DR.. Harvey knight of Georgia upon that
subject. DR.. Knight gave its chemical com
position and It's use as d remedial agent in
cases occurring in his own practice. lie
spoke particularly Of the danger Of its indis-
criminatc use by persons who do not under
stand its composition. The discussion
which followed was interesting and irs.ruc-
tive, showing some difference of opinion
among members of the society in regard to
its administration and effects, but all concur
ring in the opinion that it is a medicine of
great value, when properly administered,
and Of absolute purity.
DR.. 5. Putnam presented in writing the
details Of cure Of sub ACME D1eHengettS IN
which the patient was able to be about with
in a short time of his death, and in which
the post norton examination revealed ex-
tensive disease Of the meninges of the brain,
with softeaings of its substance. DR.
Welch OF WillistOn related a similar case.
In the afternoon, the subject of Sc1rtatlnd
was discussed with reference to its being
contagious, and to the treatment proper to
be pursued. Opinions varied in regard to
it's being contagious in treatment, opinions
more generally conceded
Dr. Chandler, of St. Adams, read very
interesting and able paper on Preliminary
Educafion for the Medical Profession. The
Dr. advocated extensive instruction in the
languages, and illustrated his ideas by refer
encc to the history Of individuals within his
know ledge
During the evening session the Vice Presl-
dent, DR. A J. Hyde, of Hardwick, delivered
an address Oh the subject Of Fashion an
Medicine.
During the session Of Thursday morning,
the subject Of Ap0DieIy was under discussion.
The members Of the society generally partIcl-
pated in it, giving history OF cases IN their
practice. Blood-letting as 4 remedy IN this
disease was discussed pro and COZ, the gen
eraI impression being made that while 1t
should not be discarded, yet it is generally
Of little value.
During the afternoon, the subjects an
nonnced were What shall we do with our
tuburcuar patients % and of'' UterIne Hem
orrhaee.' - in which nearlyall the members OF
the society participated.
On Wednesday evening the members OF tue
