EMPERoR OF GRAND IsLE.-Mr Gus Her
ron, caterer for MargOts Hotel, on Grand
Isle, has received commission as police
man FOR that precinct, the document having
been issued by the Board of Police Com
nissioners. The recipient receives no pay
from the board, his income consisting OF all
that he "knocks down" This commission
endows him with more power than is held
by any other individual in that section Of
the Metropolitan District, and, consequently,
Mr. Heron has swelled up to an enormous
size. Evil-doers in the lower portions of
Jefferson parish must now beware, or jus

Persecution of the Jews.

A correspondent writes to the London papers "The latest news from Rou mania is truly heartrending. Great as have been the cruelties committed at Ismail, they were by far exceeded by the horrors perpetrated at Cahul. This is a town with 6 population of about 1000, LOGO of whom are Jews. These were suddenly set upon by their fellow townsmen, and for three days beaten, wounded, plundered, driven out of their houses, which were battered to ruins, and the tenants forced to take refuge in the barracks, where, instead of being defended, they were allowed again to be beaten, and for several days left without food. In these tumults heads were split open, arms broken, boards plucked out by the roots, and rapes committed. One of the sufferers, named Gold, more cour- ageous than the other victims, defended his house for three days, his four sons standing by him. He made them swear that, should he fall, they would continue to fight. The bands surrounding his house were for considerable time held at bay by these brave men, but they were at last compelled to give way as the villains set fire to the premises. The damage inflicted on these Jews IS valued at 4O,0OO ducats. The two synagogues were devasta ted and flthily polluted, and the sacred objects found scattered in all directions. My informant, whose veracity may be relied on, adds :, The suferings of the Jews of Cahul were horrible. Language fails to depict what they had to endure. I cannot suppress my tears when I recall these suferings. And then continues They say there is scarcely village in the whole of Bess. arabian Roumania where there have not been frightful scenes. The misery is dreadful help is needed immediately My informant then urges that a mass. meeting of citizens, without distinction of reli igion, should be forthwith con. vened in the metropolis, in order to pro. test against these scenes, which threaten as Passover approaches, to be even more frightful"

Life Among the MOrmOns.

When woman's s'consent is asked, that her husband shall take another wife, she knows very we'll that she will have to give it, if she is not prepared to live in open warfare with her husband, so writes a late Mormon. She knows, too, that he will take that other wife in dependently of her, and that she is pow erless to prevent it. She may as well consent. But some brave women have never given their consent, and have nev- CT allowed the second wife to enter their homes. Some refined ladies, with ex- cellent families, have had the happiest of homes destroyed by withholding their consent and where peace and warm af lection were proverbial, the bitterest strife ensued.,
 The men who have acted in this way are not the gross and ignorant brethren, but more often the particularly pious men, who make long prayers in their families, who preach in the ward meet ings, and in the Tabernacle men of smooth words, with the name of the Lord always upon their lips. These are the men who have mercilessly wrung the hearts of the wives of Utah. What to such men are wife's tears and suffer 1nSS NOGn1nS.
 If the wife shows "tempsr," it only makes the matter worse. He wants peace, so he says and if he cannot find it there, it furnishes him with the better excuse for going back again to his younger wife-just where he wants to go!
 Some wives have gone crazy, and died in this condition, all through their sad experience in Polygamy. Not long since the fifth or sixth wife of one of the leading men of Salt Lake City died be- reft of reason. Her husband was about marrying young girl at the time, and refused to go and see his dying wife. That mans name would astonish my readers, did publish it, for he is one of the most universally respected as we'll as one of the best men in Mormon ism, and can only account for his in humanity by considering the poverty and debasement into which Polygamy had plunged him. s. ...f ..,.a.
 Several cases of lunacy have come un- der my own personal notice; and two young women, of very respectable fam flies, with whom I am acquainted, nar- rowly escaped from the effects of poi son, which, in their misery, they had taken as a last resource. I have heard of many more cases of desperate att tempts at suicide. .t'"s-n' 7f

WHY HE WOULD Nor AccEPT.-The late Silas Wright, was rendered by Pres, Tyler. a place on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States MT. Wright was waited on directly, says our authority, and the proposition laid before him. He was evidently gratitied and somewhat embarrassed. After few moments consideration, he said: My friend, you know cannot accept this generous offer. You know the Demo- cratic party, would not consent to my withdrawal from the political field. But I will say to you frankly that never ex. pected to be called upon to make so great a sacrifice in the interest of my party. It is the placeof all others to suit my taste and habits. In fact it is the only office that I ever seriously desired. The strife and turmoil of political life, especially in high party times, is uncongenial to me while the bench is precisely in ac- cordance with my views and wishes" He added: ' I think that by close apphca- tion and constant study might make myself equal to. the duties of the place. l am rather rusty in the law now, having been so long in public life. But ! am fond of the profession, and sometimes wish I had never left it. Exrress my thanks to the President for his kind offer, and tell him that circumstances prevent my acceptance of 1t. {"

Transporting Cattle.

MT. George T. Angel, president of the Massachusetts Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals, has written an essay on the necessity and practicability of some change Tn our mode of transporting cattle in this coun- try. The subject is treated in it's fnan- cial and sanitary relations, and MT. An gell shows that as at present conducted, transportation occasions both disease and unnecessary expenditure. He quotes MT. Horace w. Jordan, a member of the Brighton Board of Health, as authority for the assertion that at Chicago all the poor cattle, bulls, stags, and everything disagreeable are picked up, and "this is what we get from Chicago a market whence, in 1869, 294, ,717 cattle were shipped to Eastern cities Disease is of course the consequence of this, and when we remember that in New York city alone nearly two million swine are eaten annually, to say nothing of the beef meat, we may we'll feel disgusted when it is shown, as it is shown, that our methods of transporting them are responsible for much of the disease. Shrinkage on the 294, 717 cattle amounts to more than %, 471,7OO pounds of beef, and this fact tells the financial story. MT. Angell thinks that the only feasible plan of lessening these evils is in legis- lation which shall compel transporters to use one of the five improved stock cars, which have been invented, and any of which, he believes, would accomplish the desired end.

Brigham'S Wives.

Very extravagant statements have been published of the number of Brigham Young's wives and children. How many he has had from the time he courted Miss Martha Brotherton until now, it would be difficult to estimate. Some of his wives are dead others have left him, and many probably have been sealed to him who strayed away like those of Brother Heber, and he knew not whither they went. Of Brigham's present family am personally acquainted with nineteen of his wives. Before he was Mormon he had wife and family, but of that lady know nothing. Two of her daugh- ters are in Utah. His Mormon family begins with his first legal wife, who is still iving-Mrs. Mary Ann Angel Young. She is probably about his own age, but is physically less preserved, and looks much older. She is most excel lent and amiable lady, and bears traces of having had her full share of earthly troubles. She is the mother of three prominent sons, Joseph A Brigham, Jr. :; John w., and two daughters-Alice and Luna. Each of the sons has three wives. The first daughter is the third of four wives in polygamic household. The other daughter is the first wife of a young man, and has for companion wife her fathers daughter by another mother. The eldest daughter, Alice, has also her half-sister as an associate wife in her husbands household.

Forgotten.

Under the trees that afternoon,
 Across the meadows and down the lane, Sloped the sun to the west full soon,
 Never shadow nor cloud of pain: Do you ever think of it now? How fresh the breeze from of the sea,
 Bending the bluebells before our feet, Bearing perfume from hill to leal
 life, it seemed never so sweet Do you ever think of it now? What dId we say? I can not tell
 True love is very silent sometimes; By your words remember we'll
 When we parted there beneath the lines: Do you ever think of them now? Only year ago to-day,
 Yes, only year ago and yet The golden light has passed away,
 The summer sun has forever set Do you ever think of it now? Dead is the past, and evermore
 Dead is the love you whispered that day; Dead, alas ] are the hopes bore;
 Dead is my life; yet I only pray That you may not think of it now.

A QUEER TENNESSEE TURN OUT. The Louisville, Tenn, Falcon, gives the fol- lowing Lately, a wagon drawn by three animals of the bovine species, passed through our town bound for Texas. The driver was a red headed, lantern jawed, bow-legged Hoosier, six feet in height, dressed in brown jeans, and wearing No. IA brogans. Two oxen and a COW, geared like horses, were drawing the vehicle, The wagon was filled with wife, few little bare-headed urchins, and other val uables. The family hailed from Polk County, Tennessee, and said they were "gwine to Texas with that ar team et it tux um all year." The COW that worked on the off side, they said gave milk for the whole family. In rear was second wagon, drawn by stout mule and a horse. This concern was packed full of mountain girls in large numbers, though it was impossible to count them in the short space of thirty minutes

New York and Erie.

During the past fortnight New York and Erie stock has been the excitement of New York and London stock brokers It ran up as high as 6S cents,1 and fortunes have been made and lost in it, A New York paper says of Q scene in the Board: "Orders to buy came from all directions, and the brokers rushed back and forth yelling even more than is their won't, which is saying a great ealindeed, as any one-can tes- tify who has ever had his senses con. fused by looking down from the visitors gallery, which, by the way, was crowded, despite the disagreeable weather. Re port assigns from $500, 900 to $4,00O, 900 lost to single account from Baltimore. The New York accounts, on the same side, no doubt suffer to much larger sums, but the Street is accustomed to heavy and violent differences in the fortunes of Wall street speculation. It may be noted in this instance, however, that nearly all the losses fall at home, while the profits inure to the Exchanges of London and the Continent, and their correspondents behind the scenes in New York.

A Noted Sort of Gambling.

The game of 'sPolicy," as played in our large cities, and particularly in New York, as we learn from 0 local paper,
 is so entirely safe for the policy bankers that immense odds are given the players, in promise, at least. For single numbers they pay four dollars for one. If the player undertakes to name the first number to be drawn at any lot tery, the policy bankers agree to pay him, if he succeeds, one thousand dol lars for the one he pays them but, as may be imagined, they are rarely called
 upon to redeem their promises. But this play is unusual, as even the most sanguine of players have little faith in their ability to select at nine o'clock in the morning the identical number a blind youth will pick out seventy-eight hours later. They are as able to do it as to do any of the other things they con- fidently expect to perform, but they cannot be made to believe so. The pol
 icy-players are the most radical of fatal ists as a general rule. To greater ex- tent even than lottery buyers they de- pend upon the signs and portents found in dreams, or in the most trivial accident or incident of their waking hours to de- termine their play. The "Wheel of Fortune stands them in good stead,
 and few of the hal itual players make a venture without consulting that oracle.
 Negroes are the most constant of pol icy players, but hardly the most profit able, as their investments are usually very small. They generally confne such operations within twenty-five cents, which they judiciously divide between [" saddles and "gigs," as five cents is usually thei1 limit to the latter. Every day the policy-shops in Thompson and Sullivan streets are crowded with ne groes of both sexes, and it is a com mon thing for the sbook" of the dealer not to exceed five dollars for every drawing when he is apparently doing an immense business. While few of his customers exceed the amount I have named, many of them play one cent on saddles and three cents on gigs, and revel until the drawing arrives in the anticipation of getting forty cents or nine dollars by the venture. As the hour approaches when the return of the drawing is expected, these players gather in great force at the various shops, and the probabilities are eager ly discussed. If, as is often the ease, any number has not been out for several days, there are 8 good many cents bet on it's appearance, and the excitement is intense. Sometimes mania seizes the entire fraternity of colored players to play some particular "f1at gig,
 which is generally 4-11-44, and the numbers being sure to be drawn only after everybody has been tired out and quit betting on them ; their appearance evokes storm that IS comical in it's in. tensity when its occasion is remembered
