for which l have no words of condemnation
sufficiently severe, the State authorities, with
a prOmptness becoming their responsibilities
moved Tor the arrest OF the fiends. The United
States marshal, II appears, acting under the
general instruction Of the attoTney-general's
circular, also proceeded TO act, not in conf junc.
ton with the state authority, but independ-
emily. Governor Brown, than whom no truer
man lives in any State, addressed the Presi-
dent, setting forth the facts, and representing
that the State authorities were competent 10
take care OF its criminals and 10 bring them
speedily 10 justice. The answer was as heart
less as could well be conceived, to the effect
that "a law Of congress pes mitted the action of
the marshal, and be should not interfere.

Rattan.

There are no less than ten different
grades of rattan. The first quality should
be of bright color, of a straw yellow,
but, in addition, must be supple, and not
sticky, trade word, meaning dull and
wanting in elasticity. 1t requires great
deal of experience to decide what is good
rattan or the kinds which will work up
best for particular sorts of goods. The
very choicest rattan comes from Bes-
jamassing. Both outside and inside have
their special uses I'll outside being
used for seating chairs. There is a single
factory in the United States which turns
out daily enough chair cane to cover
10000 chairs. The inside of the rattan
is employed in variety of ways. 1t is
shaped by machinery either round or
fat, and so worked up into innumerable
articles. Baskets, brooms, mats, mating,
are all made from the inside of the rat
tan, and an immense quantity Of It is
worked around demijohns. But the in
side and outside of the rattan are en-
ployed in the manufacture of furniture.
This branch of industry we have un-
doubtedly copied with Chinese accuracy
from India. Perhaps even with the ad-
dition of our numerous mechanical helps
we have but very little improved on the
models as to appearance or solidity.
There is an exquisite comfort, lux
urious ease, about a real rattan chgiss
longe, such al is made at Singapore, that
we can hardly equal. -a ~. ~"

Brigham YOung's One Wife.

1t will be remembered that in his now
celebrated ANSWER" in the Ann Eliza
divorce case, Brigham Young made oath
that he had but one wifeeMary Ann
Angell-who was lawfully married to
him on the 10th of January, 1884. This
venerable woman, whose relation to the
prophet and his Celestial concubines"
has been that of drudge and social
outcast for a quarter of a century, first
saw the legal document recognizing her
position yesterday. BY the Kindness of
a sympathizing sister in misery, copy
of the Tribune containing the important
confession of her faithless husband was
placed in her hands, when, with tears
streaming down her sad, wan cheeks, this
sole and only wife of cruel tyrant read
the instrument over and over again, un-
til satisfied that at last the hand of
righteousness had sent His consoling
sage. After many long and weary years
pathy cheered her life, this deserted wife
finds the law of her country friend she
never hoped for in the world, and look
ing up toward the giver of all blessings,
thanked Him that His name was vindi-
Gated among men. Forgiving the i'm
measurable wrongs and heartburnings of
her best years, this woman, true to we
mans nature, kissed the words that de-
clared her the wife of her husband, and
wept with Joy on finding that though
deserted, she was entitled to the highest
dignity which Christianity and Chris
tian civilization can bestow upon her
sex. A scene such as this is indeed
worthy of respectful mention, which we
delight in making, and congratulating
Mrs. Young of Che moral triumph which
our beneficeht laws have secured to her
in her old age.5SdH Lake Tribune. Z" :

The Church War In Germany.

The diocese of Posen, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, is evidently the theatre in which
the struggle between Church and State
in Germany Is destined to be first carried
out to the furthest extremities. The
case of Father Kubescak, at Xions, who
has been communicated for accepting q
living from the parson, without seeking
the consent of the Posen Bishop and
Chapter, brings the latter into immediate
collision with the law. The Dean of the
Chapter will be summoned before the
Ecclesiastical Court, and the result will
probably be to deprive the Chapter of
the support it receives from the funds of
the State. That would have taken place
before the present time if the law regard
ing the administration of vacant bishop
RIGS, passed by the Landtag last May, had
been accepted by the Diet in the shape
in which it was presented by the Gov
ernment. The thirteenth clause in the
original draft of the measure declared
that cathedral chapters which failed to
appoint Wears on the occurrence
Of vacancies would be liable to be de-
prived of all funds allowed by the State
till they should obey the law. From
some scruples that such a provision was
too severe, the clause was struck out of
the bill as passed. Had it stood the
Posen Chapter must have become liable
to the penalty it threatened, because it
failed to appoint vicar when the Epis-
copal See was made vacant in conse-'
quence of sentence of the Ecclesiasti-
cal Court, as required by Clause vi. of
the act of the Goth of May last. Proba-
bly, Prince Bismarck and his Minister of
Worship now regret that they did not
press the acceptance Of the omitted
clause on the Diet; for the Posen Chap
ter has adopted an attitude of passive
resistance, and declining to admit the
competence of the proceedings under
which the See has been deprived of Epis-
copal guidance, has, of course, refused to
cooperate with the commissary appointed
by the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs
to administer the property of the See.
The consequence has been great inconve-
nience, and even pecuniary loss, to many
persons in the diocese who had an inter
est in its property. n''' t

The White Men of the South Sea Islands.

A correspondent of the San Ffaneisco
Chronicle says. off q white man Is tired
of civilization and wishes to lay off, then
he can come to the South Seas and find
some romantic little nook where, under
the bread fruit trees, amid cocoahut
groves and banana forests, he can loll to
his hearts content. But such a man
must have lost his grip, lost all hopes,
and come to the conclusion that he is a
Weak and imbecile creature unable to
war with the great seething caldron
called civilization. l find such white
men on the islands,of these seas, but what
wrecks they are! Utterly lost, they lead
an aimless life, and vegetate rather than
live. They are most miserable specimens
of the great European races which have
conquered and civilized this EARTH As
compared with the natives of the South
Seas they are inferior-mentally, morally
and physically. When white man goes
to wreck here the wreck is so complete
that there is nothing left of it but a mere
shadow. Many are the desolate, broken
hearts of this character to be found float
ing about these islands. A picture COM
pletely the reverse is to be seen in oc-
casional yachts which visit these waters.
Their owners and guests are moneyed
men. They see the bright side of life +;
they are fondled and feasted; but they
get false ideas of the actual state Of
affairs. After enjoying themselves, living
like princes, and making love in the Don
Juan school until they are surfeited with
delight, they then return and write i'm
passioned books about life in the South
Sea Islands"

Nations without Fire.

J According to Pliny, fire was a long, time
unknown to some Of the ancient Egyp-
tians; and when Exodus (the celebrated
astronomer) showed it to themj they were
absolutely in rapture. The Persians,
Phenicians, Greeks and several other nSi
tions, acknowledge that their ancestors
were once without the use of fire, and the
Chinese confess the same of their pro-
genitora Ponipanion, Mola, Plutarch
and other ancient writers, speak of na-
tions who, at the time they wrote, knew
not the use Of fire, or had just learned it.
Facts of the same kind are also. attested
by several modern nations. The inhabi-
tants of the Marian Islands, which were
discovered in 1861, had no idea, of, fire.
Never was astonishment greater than
theirs when they saw IL on the desert
Magellan, in one of their islands. AT
frst they believed IL was some kind of
animal that fixed 10 and fed upomwood.
The inhabitants of the Philippine. and
Canary Islands were formerly equally
ignorant. Africa presents, even in our
own day, tribes in this deplorable state.
