| Utah Legislative MonopoIies.
For many years, indeed from the first or
ganization of the Territory of Utah, the
Treasury of the United States has had to pay
for a continued series Of Church monopoles,
in former times amounting to pretty high
| figure, Indeed, as in the case of the Mormon
Battalion, the Mormon leaders have been paid
well for going just where they wanted to go.
and then they have turned around, and with
their characteristic gratitude slandered and
belittled the Government and it's officers. 1t
| is a curious fact that for over twenty-five
years the Legislature Of Utah has drawn
from the United States Treasury the pay for
building UP and running their peculiar insti-
tutions. Without designing 1T, Uncle Sam
has actually subsidized Brigham and his apos-

The servants of our good Uncle Samuel are
at length turning the tables on the Kingdom,
and the Secretary who holds the old man's

A COMMUNITY or MEN.-There is ell.y
one territory OF any size. and never has been
but one occupied by any considerable popula-
ton, from which woman is absolutely ex-
cluded. Yet such place exists to-day and
has existed for centuries. As far back as his
tory reads to all females it has been forbidden
ground. This bachelors Arcadia is situated
on bold plateau between the old peninsula
of Acte, In the Grecian Archipelago, and the
mainland. Here IN the midst Of cultivated
fields and extensive woodlands. dwell a mon
astic confederation Of Greek Christians, with
twenty-thrce converts, and numbering more
than seven thousand souls, and not one Of
the mollasteries dates from latter time
than the twelfth century. A few soldiers
guard the borders OF this anti-female land
and no woman is allowed to cross the frollti.r
Nor is this all the rule is extended to every
female creature, and from time immemorial no

mitted to make acquaintance with hill or val

was startled by the abrupt question, ''What
sort Of human creatures are women p The
very idea of woman, whether as mother,
wife, or sister, is almost lost. To all woman
haters to bachelors of over forty years

Longevity is an inherited quality, as much
as the make Of the body, Or the size of the
brain. Sir William Herschel, the greatest
astronomer of his age, lived eighty-tour
years; bis SON, Sir John, died at seventy
nine his aunt Caroline, was ninety-eight i
many similar instances can be given where
persons OF the connection lived to great old
age. But descendants OF long-liyed persons
should only calculate on living as long Them |
selves by living pretty much in the same
manner; regularly, temperately, equally;
cultivating especially, senenity Of mind, de-
liberation of thought and action; avoiding
as much as possible shocks and bodily ex-
posure to hardships and to all extremes. The
tortoise overlook the hare long before the
close Of the day prudent, thoughtful care
full people, who hold on the equable tenor of
their way, far outlive tho quick, the thought |
less, the nervous aud unsteady. But long-I
evity may be- cultivated by a life of steady |
industry, of habitnal temperance and reg
ularity, combined with the conscientious per-
formance Of all the duties OF life. /
