The Mormon saints are thoroughly
aroused to the perils of their situation
and do no. seem ready to submit to mar
tyrdom with good grace. In truth they
seem as deficient in the article of grace
as Mahomedans, Turks, Brahmins or
any other set Of sensual fanatics on the
face Of the earth. Secluded as they
have been from the outer world, their
denominations have aroused the Ameri-
can people, aud since the President has
taken the question in hand it seems
likely that the institution of polygamy

it will cease to flourish, to defy the civ

suppressed and blotted out. The Saints
knowing what is in store for them, have
put their heads together it is said, and
sent delegates to Washington with IN
limited letters Of credit, to try what car
be done in the lobby. The mOdus ope

~The MarseIIaIse'' ana lie Author,


The national song Of France, which
is, perhaps, more vitality connected with
the spirit Of her people than that Of any
other nation, grew out Of the stormy
scenes Of the Revolution. Its inspire
ton was drawn from those thrilling
events which for several years convulsed
France, and made all Europe tremble.
1t was composed in the winter Of 1872
by a young soldier named Rouget de
Isle, who was stationed at a garrison in
Strasbourg. This yonng man was born
and reared in Sans lie SaunieT, the CAPT.
tai of Jura, mountainous province in
the east Of France
He was by nature both poet and must.
clan, and the wild surroundings Of his
childhood had lent their powerful aid 10
his imagination.
When at Strssbourg, bis popular tai
ents made him the delight Of the garri-
son, and many an otherwise slow and
weary hour did he heguile with his at
tractive improvisation He became init
mately acquainted with a certain family
in the city, and spent much time a. the

Tnr woodruff & CIaains weekly bias

The Woodruff & ClaAin's Weekly has
made its appearance again. Its con-
ductors are defantly savage and reiter-
ate everything they said before, if not
more, too. Really, there has been too
much prominence given this affair; the
Weekly is about as moral in its obscene
way as the Police Gazette and other
publications, but the game is higher and
harder to fetch down. Let these women
alone and their paper would die out in
six months. Their martyrdom, as they
call it, creates sympathy, makes friends
of people who otherwise would be indif-
ferent and neutral. Stirring the FIRE
makes it burn.

Ten years ago lived in a town in In-

little girl leave my door, and | asked
my wife who she was. She said, Mrs.
Harris had sent her after their newspa-
per, which my wife had borrowed. AS

subscribed for the paper; it came in
due time to the shop. While resting one
noon, and looking over it, | saw an adj
yertisement of the County Commission
ers to let bridge that was to be built.
| put in a bid for the bridge, and the
job was awarded to me, on which /

for my house and lot easily, and for the
newspaper. If | had notsubscribed for
the newspaper i should not have known
anything about the contract, and could
not have met my payment on my house
and lot. A mechanic never loses any
thing by taking newspaper. aa.

highly original town. The last event
that occurred there would have been ex-
traordinary in any other town. Mrs.
Morse and her little boy Of seven Years;
were on Lake Cayuga fishing in skiff:
Suddenly the mother was startled by a
scream from the lad, and turning about
found him with the blood streaming
from lacerated nose, and an eight
pound trout lying in the bottom of the
boat. The force with which the trout
had made the rush for the boy as the
little fellow drew back landed the fish
in the boat Photographs were taken
of the boy and fish, one of which was
sent to former Penn Yanite, of this
city; with the laconic invitation: 'sGet a
small boy with a big nose and come out
and try your luck" ezs larr.s
