The following, from the Golden
.4ge, is just and proper criticism.
The pencil which with equal facili-
ty caricatures the public thief who
steals millions and the statesman
of honorable fame who merely diff
fers with his party in the choice OF
a Presidential candidate; which
holds up to equal scorn and con-
tumely Boss Tweed and Charles
Sumner, is quite as likely to lend its
aid to the cause Of corruption and
rascality as to that of morality and
public virtue:
"Nast rendered valuable service
in breaking the Tammany Ring by
his witty and telling caricatures--
But within few weeks he has
abused his genius and degraded
his art by caricaturing such men as
Sumner, Schurz, and Trumbull.-
This attempt to hold honorable,
high-minded, conscientious states
men up to public derision, and COW
er them with ridicule, and make
them a target for all the weak wits
to discharge their pieces at, simply
because they think the reelection
of Gen. Grant impolitic, and oppose
pfficial corruption, treating them
precisely as though they were
thieves and plunderers and vaga-
bonds like the members Of the Ring,
is disgrace to the art of carlca-
ture, and a crime against decency.
Allow that those gentlemen are
mistaken; everybody knows that
they are sincere and honest, and the
services they have rendered the
country entities them to a respect
full treatment from those who differ
from them. We do not know how
much editorial responsibility Mr..
George William Curtis has for
Harper's Weekly, but if he sane
tons such vulgar and disgraccful
attacks upon honorable statesmen,
he has incurred reproach that will
not soon be forgotten nor easily
atoned for.

A PAPER never appears to so
poor advantage, especially when it
aspires to a position of respectable
ity and influence, as when, under
the control of wounded vanity, or
similar unworthy motives, it takes
leave of it's judgment and commits
itself to the control Of its passions.
In such a position is the Burlington
Haackeye placed by its vindictive
warfare against Hon. J. F. Wilson.
1t is not necessary for the readers
of the Hasckeye to know what are
it's grounds of complaint against
Mr.. Wilson, in order to arrive at
the fact that the animus Of its at
tacks upon him are wholly vindic-
tive and unworthy. Every line pro-
claims it, and what will be more
humlliating to that paper, it's venom
will be Intellectual. Mr.. Wilson is
too we'll grounded in the respect
and confidence of the people of
Iowa to be harmed by this kind
of attack.

Soiourner Truth, the ancient col
orcd mother in Israel, spoke in
Anamosa last week, whercupon the
Eurek is tempted to repent an Incl
dent of her life which occurred long
ago:
1t was at a female anti-slavery
meeting in Boston before the war
and when Boston was intensely pro-
slavery. Sojourner came in, plainly
dressed and an old bonnet on her
head. She walked half way up the
platform, seated herself on the steps
and sat down facing the crowd,
leaned her chin on her hands and
her elbows on her knees. Those on
the platform knew her and dreaded
the result in that crowd of angry
men. Speaking went on; a clergy
man in the crowd arose and protes-
ted against abolition agitation, de-
claring that he washed his hands of
it and would not have it on his
soul. To the terror Of the ladies on
the platform Sojourner Truth slowly
lifted her tall form, pointed her
long finger towards the clergyman
and said, "Don't be scarf, chile; |
don't believe God ever hearn tell
on yc." The crowd cheered and
laughed; the tide was turned by
this unconscious burst of wit and
the speakers were heard to.thc end.
She saved the meeting without in
tending it.

FRIDAY. APRIL IL. 1872.
Legislative Salaries.

It is not for moment permissl-
bic to doubt the sincerity of the
professions of a majority of the
General Assembly on the score OF
economy, but we may be allowed
to remark that their practice of the
virtue is like the poker playing Of
the Heather Chinee, peculiar.
It NAV be honest, but it certainly is
not consistent. 1t can be savagely,
not to say rabidly severe in one oil
rcction, and exceedingly complai-
SAINT and yielding in another. We
have a fresh instance of the latter
quality in the bill which has just
passed the Senate, and which from
it's character will doubtless meet
with equal favor in the House, by
which s25, 900 is added to the ex-
pcnscs of the State for salaries OF
officers, members and employees OF
future General Assemblies.
The bill fixes the pay of members
at 5000 for each regular session,
and S. per day for extra sessions,
not to exceed 800. The Secretary
of the Senate and Clerk OF the
House each receive IS per day and
their Assistants 81, and the minor
officers from IS per day down to
So per day. This does not include
stationery, or other perquisites, ex-
cept the necessary stationery for
Clerks. This makes the pay OF
members, taking the average length
of the session to be three months,
over 81 per day, instead OF IS as at
present. With the Dubuque Times,
from which we gather the above
items respecting the bill, we can
see no good reason for an increase
of legislative salaries over the
present figures; and especially DO
we fail to perceive the consistency
of this action by a body which with
such destinations zeal has set itself
about the task of wiping out useless
and extravaganza expenditure. The
public will not be able to discrlml-
nate between the newspaper "bar-
nacles''-if such they be-and those
of the legislative variety.

luscious sweets into sugar for do
nestle use. This was done in q
rude way by cutting down saplings
of soft wood and howing out troughs
in which the sap was caught, then
carried to the camp in pals and
cvaporated in kettles suspended be-
tween huge logs, the fires fed by

These excursions were not exempt
from the common danger. The su-
gar season comes when in that cli-
mate the forests are usually covered
with deep snow, and the gathering
was done on snow shoes, in the use
of which practitioners became very
expert in walking or running
These shoes were not unlike in size
and shape to kite, the bow ex-
tending farther in the rear. During
one of these excursions, when one
of the occupants Of one of the camps
was alone and engaged in his work
of gathering, those of another con-
coctcd plan of giving this man a
scare, without much thought of
what might be its accompaniment.
Acting upon the plan, they proceed
ed under the cover Of the trees to
get between him and his camp,
and from their concealment dis
charged their guns and raised the
horrid acar ,cAoop Of the Indian
The man, with shrek, dropped
his buckets and started at the top
of his speed for the settlement, a
distance of eight miles, too badly
frightened to hear their calls to
stop. 1t then became their turn to
be scared, for they we'll knew the
effect the intelligence that there
were Indians in the neighborhood
would have in raising a general
alarm through the valley. To save
this, their feetest man was put on
the track to quiet the apprehension
of danger. In his run for life, the
frightened man had to pass Il noun
tain stream swelled by the spring
thaws, and tradition says that he
passed it by leap of twenty-five
feet, nervcd by his imaginary sense

Letter from Salt Lake City.
Brigham has 6s children, abou1
10 Of whom are female. They arc
Of all ages, from three years to
thirty. He is the father Of good
deal of talent, and some Of his chill
dren will b heard Of in the world
hereafter. Last night, at the thea
ter, l WAS particularly struck with
the good, l might say superb acting
of a young-looking lady, and learned
that she was n daughter of Brigham
and one Of tho five wives of H. b.
Clawson. The latter being man
Of wealth and standing, and devo.
ted Mormon, has married two of
Brigham's daughters, in addition to
his other three wives. Isn't that
a curious way to do? 1t certainly
is to us Gcntiles; but to the Nor
mons it is all perfectly correct and
proper. In several of the states a
man is prohibited from marrying
his dead wifc's sister, but here in
Utah it is much the style to marry
two sisters at once, besides having
several other wives. Many OF
Brigham's children arc handsome
and lovablc. Those by one Of his
wives, Mrs. Decker, are particularly
so. He provides we'll for his
numerous sons-in-law, and takes
great pleasure in seeing his children
well married off and happy, if there
can be any happiness in the Nor
mon married state, which l doubt.
A marriage takes place in his family
now very often, as his numerous
flock are rapidly maturing. One of
his daughters married last Saturday.
l hear Of ono who had to run away
to marry, Brigham being opposed
to the match because the young man
who loved his daughter also loved
lager beer. Brigham tried to break
of tho match and keep his daugh-
ter At home, but his home has so
many doors to it that he could not
watch them all at once, and she got
away. If this teaches any moral at
all, It is either 70 have fever aaugh-
ters or fewer doors.

THE SPOTTED FEvER.-Wc have
heard, as yet, of no cases Of
the cerebro-spinal-meningitis, or
spotted fever, hereabout. But it
prevails, in greater or less degree,
in many places in the State, and
since no one can say how soon we
may have case here, we have been
requested to state that warm-quite
warm-sitting baths have been
found the most effective means OF
arresting the progress of the dis
ease. Make the water as hot as the
patient can bear it, the object be-
ing to induce profuse perspiration.
Send for physician the first thing;
and unless he is right at hand, use
the hot sitting bath until he comes:
We hope none of our readers will
have occasion to remember this
remedy, but we give it, for fear
they may need it.-Mo"c"es'e'

lie Dubuque Herald CT

TIE Dubuque Herald coarsely
assails Mr.. Alex. Clark, the colored
delegate at large, from Iowa, to the
Philadelphia Convention, with the
offensive epithet of ''nigger," and
seeks, in the old-time way Of appeal
to brutal prejudices, to bring odium
on the Republican party which
makes a colorcd man one of its rep
resentativcs on that occasion. Be-
sides the probability that any man,
white or black, selected by the con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Clark
would be more than likely to be in
the perception and practice Of gen.
tlemanly courtesy, the peer of the
UeraM editor, we have the follow
ing testimony Of Mr.. Clark's worth
ana qualifications from the Musca-
tine Journal, published at his
home:
In selecting our colored fellow
townsman, Alexander Clark, to go
to the Republican National Conven.
ton, our State Convention did itself
quite as much honor as it conferred
upon him. Mr.. Clark is 3 man of
intelligence and talent, with extern
sive acquaintance and large influ.
ence with his people, not alone in
this State but in the South. It was
due the colored voters of our State
that they should have representa-
tive on the delegation, but In select
ing Mr.. Clark, the Convention did
not simply chose him for this pur-
pose, but as man qualified in an
eminent degree for the honorable
and responsible position. He will
go to Philadelphia, it his life and
health arc spared, and will reflect
credit upon his adopted State as
one Of it's delegates in the Conven'
ton which is to furnish the Presi-
dent and shape the policy of the
government for the next four years
