Mormon Girls.

A Salt Lake City correspondent Of the Gin
c;nuati Commercial writes;
You cannot Judge of the Mormon girls by
what you see upon the streets. Tor they ars
not of the sort that GO often shopping, but
You must ATTEND sons ball or social gath
ering. After that You will acknowledge that
nearly all the Mormon girls are good looking
and some OF them very pretty. The young
ladies that | saw last night will compare well
with the same number picked up at random
anywhere. They are not what you call del
icate. aud for their own good it is well that
they are not. On the contrary, stoutDess is
the rule. and too much delicacy the excep,
tion. Their faces are fair, but without sur
face indications of chalk their cheeks ars
painted, but it is with the rose tints Of na<
ture; their hands plump and pretty. but not
sxquisitely white an6 small, like the city
belle. ''who tolls not. neither does sue SpiH, ;"
for the Mormon girls toll and spin both, and
help their several mothers to do their wash,
ing and cooking.
They never tight lace, and consequently
their waists are not of the delicate and wasp
like proportions of 50 many of our Eastern
girls, who lace themselves into early graves
but they are full and rotGnd, just as nature,
who generally knows what she is about, cre-
ates them. And not least important Of all.
they have the freshest fairest, clearest, most
healthy compilations l ever saw 10 the same
number. There is nothing of that muddy,
yellow, bilious. unhealthy hue that you see
so much Of in Eastern cities aud towns. in-
dcating that a half dozen diseases are feed
ing upon the vtals. A clear, fresh skin is
not an invariable Indication OF health, but it
is 30 near that an occasional exception
only proves the general rule.

England and United States

The excitement which existed week or more
ago. respecting the case submitted by the United
States to the Geneva Board Of arbitration.
seems to have abated. The case submitted BY
the counsel of Great Britain to the same Board.
was, on last Friday, laid before Parliament. 1t
is divided into ten sections, and seems to re-
view the whole matter very completely. 1t
says that the Board must determine the uues-
ton of failure of duty if it decides that there
has been such failure, then it must award a
gross sum for damages or define the limit of
liability for the guidance of the assessors of
such damages. The circumstances of the sail
ing Of the vessels are detailed with much par :
ticularity, and it is argued that they were wide
ly dissimilar. 1t is contended strenuously that
there was no negligence and no breach of neu-
trality on the part of England, but that whether
the decision is in her favor or against her she
will abide by it.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York World says that ''Sir Edward Thornton,
In conversation with gentleman of prominence

no serious difficulty between the United States,
and Great Britain respecting the Interpretation
of the Treaty of Washington, and he believed

Quousaue tandem ahutere. &c.

The Lexington Gazette States that there are
significant rumors ahoat that the road Val
ley Railroad will probably stop at Staunton
for an indefinite time, - and says that some
thing like letting the road at least as far as the
Rockbridge line-or something else that looks
like business, and not 'humbugging, muslbe
done and that soon, or there will be fuss, a
fight, or foot-race somewhere. I"
1t maintains that the patience of Rockbridge
has been outrageously abused, and that for six
years, it has been suffering with hope deferred
that maketh the heart sick-and mad. s''
The Rockbridge Citizen, Also. has an article
of similar tenor, from which the following is
an extract
From appearances we are not at all certain
but that we have been "gulled' all this time /;
and that all the fattering promises with which
our hopes have been bolstered up from time to
time, will fail us in the end. We don't desire
to be captious, but we do intend to hammer
al this subject till we can see our way out. The
part Rockbridge performed in advancing this
scheme, puts her in position to demand that
her rights and claims be considered. She stands
ready to fulfill her promises and contracts,
but without good faith is kept with her, she
will not pay one cent towards this Road, and
will use her utmost endeavors to defeat the
whole thing. Her people are long ago tired Of
the stil!y s1salying, the tackings and backings
which have characterized the history of this
scheme. They are unwilling to stand by and
see the substantial benefits Of the Road dispos-
ed Of without so much as even, "By your leave,
sir
We want something tangible and certain
We want it now. We want the promises made
to us complied with. We want the road. We
want to know now whether we are to get it, and
when. There is no good cause for withhold

don't want the question of the workshops set.
