CURE FOR BRGGHAMIsM,-A late let
ter-writer says "An incident Of cross
ing the plains in the early days was told
by n clever lady ut tho breaklast-tabie
this morning. A Dutchman and his
wife had travelled West and arrived at
Salt Lake, where they halted few
weeks. The Mormons got around the
old Dutchman and coaxed him to join
their ranks. After retiring one night in
their canvass covered wagoG-bed, the
good Dutchman broke the matter to his
better-half, limiting that the Mormons
said he had better stay, settle init dem,
and take some more wives How ma
nv wives you links you wants 2 asked
Katrina. The Dutchman thought five
more would make halfa dozen already,
whereupon the old wife got down her
bodice, and slipping from it what the
Dutchman called the prest-poard, vieh
vas made from Wisconsin hickory, vich
vas very tough she laid it fierce aud fast
ON ihe old man, who shutiled out OF the
wagon and fell in ditch. Ills wife cried
out, How many wives you dinks you
wants now, old fool p The Dutchman
felt and expressed that one was quito
enough"

FEMALE FIGHTERs.- Mount Pleasant,
Iowa, must be pleasant mount. Last
Sunday, Miss Mary Fidler, when coming
out of the door of the church, suddenly
collided one Of her elbows against the ribs
of Mrs. Wade. Mary took this ia high
dudgeon and waded in, causing the Fid
Ter to give forth the sweetest kind Of
sounds. The Fidler thinking this was
very vile in (violin) Mrs. Wade, weighed
her out few cuts direct from the shout
der, while Mary just more than scratched
the best back hair from the female Fid-
Ter. Then came a chawing and clawing,
a fighting and biting, pinching and hit
ting, a blubbcring and splitting, rs over
and over they rolled, it seeming to the
bystanders as if there were more than 3l6
legs all the while visible, but very un-
easy in disposition. The congregation
dispersed the riot, but removed most of
the wearing apparel of the contestants in
the effort, and on the following day Miss
Fidler was played upon to the tune Of
So % for riotous and ungodly conduct in
front Of a church. Next in order came
the arrest Of Mrs. Wade for personal
damages. And now Mount Pleasant is
more than full Of gibble-gabbe.

SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1874.

LADY LoUDON's UNDYING HATE.-In
the will of the Countess of Loudon, who
died in England recently, was found n
clause directing that her right hard be
cut Off and buried in the park at the Cas-
tie bennington, at the bend Of the hill to
the Trent, with a small cross over it,
bearing the motto, 81 hyde my tyne"
The explanation of this singular request
shows that the Countess, who had been
a.liie-long enemy of Queen Victoria, de-
sired to carry her implacable hatred of
Victoria beyond tho grave. The place of
burial mentioned overlooks ono of the
Queens country seats. The skeleton
hand with its threatening epitaph was
meant to point its slow unwavering finger
at the Queen, reminding her Of the injust-
ice done long years ago to n younger sis
ter of the Countess. In the early queen
hood of Victoria the sister mentioned was
a maid Of honor. Gay and thoughtless,
the young girl had a freedom of manner
which gave the gossips of the day an OPP
portunity, all too we'll abused, of black
ening her fame, which had been tarnished
by no criminal act of hers. The Queen
hearkened to the SANDER, and banished
the beautiful but indiscreet girl from her
household. The falsity Of the scandal
was shown, but not until the poor dishon-
ored maid of honor had died of broken
heart. The Countess of Loudon blamed
the Queen for her sister's untimely fate,
and determined to avenge that sisters
wrongs. Never after did she appear at
court, and upon every royal fete day kept
closely immured. Her postmortem pur-
suit of the Queen is ghastly but impotent.

THE GRANGER's DREAM.-A Granger
dreamed that he died. He went to the
spirit-world, knocked at the gate Of the
New Jerusalem, and it was opened unto
him. The books were opened, he was
asked, Did you ever belong to any Sc
cret society ?" To which he replied, 81
did-to the Grangers." "Then, sir
you can't be admitted depart" lie
then went to the door Of the bottomless
pit, where the same questions were asked
him by the Devil, and again he was told
20 depart. Aftel &C had gone n little way
off, he was acc d by the homely ruler
of the pit, when the following PROPOSE
tions were made: Stranger" said old
Nick, 81 will not admit you here they
do not want you in heaven but | will
sell you two hundred barrels Of birthstone
for cash, ten per cent. off, and you can
start little hell Of your own, with no
agents or middlemen."

WE might as we'll laugh as cry these
dull times, and the following is applicable
to the present financial crisis During
the great financial collapse Of 1857, gen
tleman of color kept bank in Western
city. His institution was apparently in a
sound condition, but to be in fashion with
the white folks he concluded to fail. Next
morning man came and shook the door,
but voice inside responded that "de
bank is closed" But the man replied
that he had left a new pair Of boots there
the day before and wanted them. The
sable fnancier opened tho door softly,
and throwing out one boot, remarked,
"We is only paying fifty cents on de
dollar"

ALMOST every body has heard OF camp
meeting John Allen" concerning whom
the following story is told: lie once APP
pointed meeting in school house in
Maine, but tho day proving stormy, no
body came but the preacher. He con-
cluded to hold meeting nevertheless,
and as he opened the Bible for Il text, his
eye fell on these words: "And they all
forsook him ard fed" After preaching
from this apprc pirate text he gave notice
that in four weeks from that day he would
preach there again. We are assured by
the narrator of this story that although
nobody was present to hear this notice,
the school house was crowded four weeks
from that day.

A SINGULAR TREE.-In the island Of
Goa, near Bombay, there is a singular
tree called "the sorrowful tree''-be because
it only Aourishes in the night. At sunset
no flowers are to be seen, and yet half an
hour after it is quite full Of them. They
yield a sweet smell ; but the sun no soon
er begins to shine on them than some of
them fall off, and others close up, and
thus it continues Towering iE the night
during the whole year.
