RATHER NEAT.-An old friend of the
late Chief Justice tells us an aneedOte
showing Mr.. Chase's cleverness at re-
partee. While on visit to the South
ern States, after the war, Mr.. Chase was
introduced to very beautiful woman;
who prided herself ON her devotion to
the "Lost Cause Anxious that the
Chief Justice should know her senti-
ments, she remarked, as she gave him
her hand, Mr.. Chase, you see before
you rebel who has not been recon
structed." Madam" replied he with
profound bow, you are SO perfectly
constructed that any reconstruction is
altogether impossible, I'm, Y, Post.

The precise doctrines of the Nor
mons have been until lately a sealed
book to the outside heathen; but here
is their theory of immortality, as re-
vealed to Joseph Smith: God is Presi-
dent of the Immortals, who consist of
gods, men, and spirits: 1. Goods are
men who have lived the true gospel-life,
who have married many women, and
begOtten progeny which shall last for
ever. 2. Angels''-these have been
men who have lived imperfectly the
gOspel-life, and who are to live forever
issueless and unmarried-the messengers
of God to men, and inferior to the
goods" 8. Men"-the children of
God, existing from all time, begotten
by God-nOt created-who have come
to the conjunction of spirit and flesh. 4.
Spirits beings waiting for
embodiment in the flesh, by being born
of human mother. Man is king of
earth, and, having vast rights and pow
ers, has also pressing duties, and, If he
leaves them unfnlflled, his loss in
heaven is great. Women, having fewer
higher: They have less in which to fail.
FRUIT IN TIN CARs.-The Boston
journal of Chemistry" says: The i'm
preston prevails among those who use
freely, fruits which are put up in tin
cans that they are injured thereby, and
this impression is in many cases correct.
We have long contended that all pre-
served fruits and vegetables should be
stored in glass, and that no metal of
any kind should be brought in contact
with them. All fruits contain more or
less of vegetable acids, and others that
are highly corrosive are often formed
by fermentation, and the metallic yes
sells are considerably acted upon. Tin
cans are held together by solder, an
alloy into which lead enters largely.
This metal is easily corroded by Vege-
table acids. and poisonous salts are
formed. Undoubtedly many persons
are greatly injured by eating tomatoes,
peaches, etc., which have been placed
in tin cans, and we advise all our friends
who. contemplate putting up fruit the
coming summer to use only glass jars
