We clip from the Monthly Record for

CHARLESTON. s. @.
ST. JOHN THE EvANGELIsT's DAY, 1871
To tho Reverend the Clergy ofMe Diocese OF
South Corolina ....
DEAR BRETHREN:-You will not see, at
the foot Of this Pastoral Letter, the familiar
and beloved name which you have been wont
to see in all of the last eighteen years, but
q new sname-new at least in this connec-
tion.$i%
And I take this the earliest opportunity
which presents itself, to assure you Of my
deep sympathy in the death of your late Di-
nsani in the thought that he will be
no mare with us to guide and to counsel us.
Ouf lA5yed Bishops works is done, and
we'll done, and now, through the Saviour
whom he loved and served, he rests in peace,
in hope Of q joyful resurrection. Let us
strive to follow him, as he followed Christ,
that with him, in due season, when our work
too is finished, We may have our perfect con-
summation and bliss both in body and soul
in the everlasting kingdom ofthe Rcdeemer.
Let no name be known among us but only
the name of our adorable Lord; and let us
not be too much cast down by the things
which are against us, for, in due season We
shall reap if faint not. ..
Let us labor what the brotherly love and
concord, upon which our late Bishop insis-
ted so earnestly, may continue to abound.
And that such a spirit of forbearance and
tenderness, one towards another, may per-
wade the Diocese during all the years Of my
Episcopate, be they few or many, I shall not
cease 10 make my humble petitions unto
Almighty God our Heavenly Father, and I
have dated this my first greeting as above
upon the Festival of the Saint who is known
as the Apostle of.love. "
. Afectionately, your Brother,
w. B. w. Howe,
Bishop of the Diocese.

IMMENSELY OF CREATroN.-SOme astron-
liners have computed that there are 13,OO0,-
600 suns in the universe. The fixed stars
are all suns having like our own sun planets
revolving around them. The solar system,
or that to which we belong, has about thirty
planets primary and secondary belonging to
it. The circular field of space which it oc-
cupics is in the diamatre 5000, 100000 OF
miles and that which it CONTROLS is much
greater. The sun which is nearest neigh
bors to ours is Sirius, distant fromour
sun 22,9OO,0OO,O00 miles. Now if all the
fixed planets ara IFS distant from each
other as Sirius is from our sun, and if the
solarisystem be the Average magnitude OF ali
the systems of the 75,OOo,OOO suns, what I'M
imagination can grasp the immensity Of Gre
alton Every sun of the $4,000, GOO con,
trolls field ofspace of about lO,OOo'ooo, OF
miles in diameter. Who can survey plan,

The Chinese Shoemakers.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune
at North Adams, Massachusetts,, states that
during tho year and half that has passed
since the Cinnamon were first brought to
that place as shoemakers, many ofthe doubts
that were felt as to the success of the enter
prise have passed away, with some of the
prejudices against the newcomers. He
Most Of the Cinnamon speak English, and
many of them read and write quite well. The

The question of submarine tunnel under
the strait of Dover, connecting tho English
and French coasts, has been long discussed,
but lately q more feasible plan has been
broachcd. This is the establishment Of a
steam ferry on grand scale, and it is said
that both governments look with favor on
the project, The boats will run from Dover
to a point near Calais, and will transport
whole trains of cars bodily from one port to
the other Of course to accomplish this
they must be of mammoth proportions and
of prodigious strength. These ferry boats

and 32 feet depth of hold The drauSht, Is

paddle wheel so feet and the displacement
1000 tons and the engines 1000 horse power.
The estimated speed is an average Of eighteen
knots an hour, taking for the passage in fair
weather seventy minutes, and in foul twenty
more. Six passages per day are to be made.
Ifthis project be consummated, and there is
strong probability that it will, the traveller

Brigham Young's Wives.

The great prophet of the. Salt Lake Valley
is covered with annoya2ces; his ills are really
quito as great as he can bear, Not only has
his card castle been rudely knocked to the
ground, and his sacred rights to court and
marry any woman he might persuade to- have
him. been questioned in the courts Of the
land, but, to cap this sheaf Of disgrace and
anguish, his wives have been interviewed
and their personal history has been given to
the public. There have been twenty-nine
marriages in Brighams mad matrimonial
career, and of these women who have shared
the prophets households, we are told that
the thirteenth and twenty-second are dead,
that the sixteenth ran away, and that informa-
tion is absolutely lacking concerning numbers
twenty-four to twcnty-eight. Notwithstand-
ing the specification of the Indictment charg-
ing Brigham with fifteen more women than
he really has right to, it appears that there
are now actually in existence twenty-one
Mrs. Brigham Youngs. The eldest is fifty,
and the youngest twenty-four. Two of the
wives have become either wholly orpartially
insane, the first from Abandonment of her.
self and children, and the second died a
raving maniac, because she had become con-
vinccd that polygamy was wrong, and that
her mistake was irroparable. One is called
''the sweet singer of Israeli" and has recently
published a volume of poems. A great
majority of the hymns used in the Mormon
Church were written by her. One wife,
with sublime charity which is not 50 com:
mon as might be wished, has adopted and
gives real mothers care to the three chill
drcn of the poor woman who died a maniac,
and left her true and loyal husband to be-
come "plural wife" to the false prophet.
Another, an English girl, was taken away
from the man to whom she had given her
heart, because the prophet fancied her. The
twent ty-third wife, commonly called by the
Gentles the "Light of the Harem," the real
Fatima OF this modern Bluebeard, is lovely
woman, who, it would seem, was afflicted
with a real affection for the tickle Brigham,
and succeeded by womanly artifce in winning
him from his other wives. .'
