Biography of Mark Twain.

Eli Perkins gives the following sketch
of the life of Mark Twain, in the New
York Commercial Adcertiser:
The Rev DIR. Mark Twain is a TurE
He was born in the interior of ireland
His father followed the pursuit Of pat
riOtic husbandry. He raised string
beans. Notwithstanding the tyranny Of
England, his beans sold readily. and
Mark was apprenticed to a boiler maker
to learn the art of photography. Ills
father, known as Honest Farmer Twain.
says Mark made a great noise IN the
world while at the boiler business. and
was sent for by Napoleon to acc0mpa-
ny HIM In his campaign up the Nississip-
pl river. Subsequently young Twain
did efficient service in the Crimea under
Gen. Scott. During the battle of Ink

are very hard indeed. Henry Ward
Beecher, in his entertaining work emit
tied THE Early Days of Mark Twain 3"
relates that when Mark was four years
old, he became yexed at a grind stone
and battered it to pieces with his naked
fist. The story that young Twain called
his father an cold cuss, and threw cob
BILE stones at his grandmother, Beecher
says is false.
Since Mark Twain's residencein Amer
lea he has conducted the lying depart
ment of daily newspaper. He is the
father of twelve children-all his own.
During the late war he took up arms
Mrs. Twain's. He fought bravely on
both sides-sometimes with Mcclellan,
and sometimes with Beauregard
In religion he is a High Church Epis-

MoRMoNs. Some of the Mormons who
are applying so persistently for the adj
mission of Utah as a State are speaking
pretty plainly as to what are the real in
tentions in relation to the vexed question
of polygamy. At Beaver, few days
ago, Elder A. NJ. Musser said that rather
than surrender a single principle of their
religion the Mormons would make a
Moscow of Salt Lake City, tear up the
railroads, break down telegraphs and de-
stroy millions of other property. Such
declarations can hardly be expected,
even by MormOns, to enhance the pros
pect of Utah's admission and the recog-
milton of men who hold such sentiments
as fit to take places in the federal Sen
ate, and to have unrestrained control of
the machinery of State administration.
Just yet the best guardians of these
Mormon maniacs are the United States
territorial officials, backed by federal
soldiers.

CHRISTIAN COURTEsY.-An people are
led to respect a minister when they see
him laying aside his bigotry and cour-
teOusly officiating with a fellow minister
of another faith, especially in offices for
the dead but when one clergyman sets
himself up as ''hOlier than thou" and
refuses association with his brother in
the burial of the dead, mankind lose
faith in the man and in the professions
of the christian religion. A pleasing in
stance of christian courtesy occurred in
Troy, last week, at the funeral of Mar
tin S. Eddy, when Rev J. Hazard Hart
zell, d. d., of Albany, Universalist, and
Rev. George c. Baldwin, D. D., Baptist,
jointly otficiated. While some would
think it almost sacrilcgious, as well as
singular, to see these clergymen of diff
ferent denominations presiding at the
same service, vet to the true man and
true christian it ought to be a beautiful
scene and lift the heart higher in its APP
probation of true and genuine holiness.
In this instance, at least, DR.. Baldwin
showed himself not to be such a narrow
minded christian as to refuse his offices
in connection with a clergyman of an
other denomination, no matter how
widely separate are their their theologi-
cal views. 'How beautiful it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity"

Music IN New YoRK.-A New York
journal says When the Italian Opera
commenced, last fall, its new career.
which now bids fair to become long
and prosperous one, we predicted such
revival of popularity for music in all its
branches as New York had never known
before. The result has far exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of every
lover of art, and the mania for music
has extended beyond the aristocratic
precincts of Italian Opera, invading con
cert hall, church, and even the theatres.
All this gives a healthy and inspiring
tone TO art. and must eventuate in cloth
ing it with such life and vigor as will
make it permanent resident among us.
When we have succeeded in developing
the priceless treasure of American talent
for music, which sordid speculation in
stars from other lands has hitherto kept
out OF sight, the earnest wish of every
