hted to look upon such intimacy as
lsted between Ann and the Major as
entric, but quite consistent with
bpretv and confluence. The rev.

Fd, and enabled the lecturer to draw
tter than ever. But III Boston, the
pple are less advanced in this sort of
ncalion. That which was published
Illinois as a mere matter of interest

Dw." Associations began to cancel
eir engagements, and "everything
bked dark and dcsolate to the fair
kndercr from the Mormon faith"
but Majo Pond happened to be a
an of great faith. He promptly ell
red into an extensive correspondence,
bd soon had in his possession numer-
is letters certifying to the good char
ter of Ann Eliza, and setting forth
e fact that she had been 81 reigning
klle Of the Mormon household; and
mt her virtue and chastity were
5ings to bc unquestioned.' These
ttcrs were sent to branches of the
FOung Mems Christian Union in diff
rent parts of the country, and were
|llowed by circular from Redpath,
lecture-bureau nOtOriety, i'll which
lie wor,an's character WAS valiantly
Blended. The Major then made a
|atcment, in which he related his story
the unfortunate occurrence in the
eeping car. He says that before
bring. he engaged two berths, the
|wer one for Mrs. Young, and the up
er one for himself and little daughter.
q first, he thought he would sit up
nd enjoy the beautiful moonlight and
b. fragrance Of royal Havana, but
BON drOwSineSs Ovcrcame him, and
be threw his ci gar away, and retired,
letting into the upper berth with his
laughter. Mrs. Young was not en-
bylng good health about that time,
Ind during the night she became quite
Iick. 1t became necessary for him to
lttend TO the ventilation of the car, as
well as to administer medicine to her.
He vas sitting upon her berth in his
night-clo,hcs, giving her dose OF

covered him. He did not enter the
perth at all. IN climbing up to his
DNn couch, he was as modest as the
circumstances permitted. 1t was Il diff
fcult situation at best, but his virtue
Was strong. and he mastered it. In

Who but Il heartless wretch would
douht this simple story of Joseph
with military title? 1t is just such
} story AS would melt the Supreme
court of IllinOls to pity and to tears.
il is very like the story of Thompson
and his friend going out at midnight
and walking along the beach at Win
etka "to see the moon RISE 1t Is Il
Story that appeals to the heart and
|clamors for belief. We, in Illinois,
readily accept it as perfectly satisfac-
Fory vindication Of the parties con-
cerned; if, indeed, any vindicatiOn at
ell were necessary. But the Boston
larbarians do not believe it. Perhaps
Boston women do not fall ill in sleeping
Ears, or if they do, it may he that the
men always have the torethought to
draw on their trowsers before rushing
Ior medicine. Or, perhaps. II couple oi
Wanderers from the Hub could be
placed under the same circumstances,

Place tor Ann Eliza III Boston here

Major and come to Illinois, where
everybody is virtuous and happy.
