This great prophet of tho Latter
Day Saints is opposed to lifo assu
rance on polygomical principles. In
one of his late discourses in the
Tabernacle, he gave vent to his saint
ly feelings in the following strain
Brctheren, | am down on life insur-
ance. II is the invention of the
same evil one who tempted Eve in
the Garden of Eden. He promised
to give woman the upper hand Of her
husband, and life insurance does the
same. a life insurance agent has
more brass than dozen Yankee
clock peddlers One had tho impu
dcnce to ask me to take out policy
for the benefit OF my wives and
children, and before could recover
my breath no commenced TO draw up
an application, and verify believe
would have filed it out If he could
have crowded in the names. Now
I ask you, brethren what would most
likely become Of your Prophet if
insurance on his life were effected to
the amount Of $4,000 for each wife ?
l have only thirty, and that would
make the chances thirty to one that
l should enter the realms Of glory
before the end of the year. AS u
father OF Isreal, I have the Gospel
privilege of sealing tho daughters
thereof, but l have no wish that they
should seal my fate. l am ready to
ascend to my seat on high, but I do
not want to be sent up in an insur
ance balloon. The wives of the
faithful are too much tempted already
and how could they resist the inge.
NOUS device Of the Gentilcs. Touch
not, taste not, handle not, my breth-
rem. Let tho Gentle insure his life
in the biggest sum for his wife, and
when she is widow, let one of our
apostles make love to her aud bring
her on this side Of Jordan. I want
no life companies in Utah of which
| am not the presiding spirit. Life
insurance makes the wife indepeni
ent of the husband She fools that,
if she should by accident drop some
strychnine in his Cruel, she has some
thing to fall back upon to keep her
children from want. Women should
be kept under. They should trust
in the Lord, and not in life insur
ance. II they have n bad husband
and an insurance policy on his life,
they are always praying secretly for
his death, and if the ir prayers are
not answered readily, they hurry up
his predestinatiou. Beware of life
insurance. II is satan in disguise.
Turn your back upon it, shut your
ears against it, flee from it as from n
pestilence, for verify it mould bring
rebellion into tho land of Mormon

RAscALs IN HIeH LFE.-.-About a
fortnight ago a room in the U. s
Treasury Department, at Washing
ton, in which internal revenue war
rants, ready for issue, on United
States depositaries are kept, was mys-
teriously entered by burglars, who
forced a skylight, descended, packed
up $4,000 worth of warrants, and
got out by climbing back through the
skylight. II was evident that tho
thieves knew the place well and were
perfectly able to select such warrants
az were negotiable and suited their
purpose. The matter was kept very
secret, but detectives were employed
to work up the case, who succeeded
in arresting a son Of Judge Williams,
of Washington. and one Moore, a
clerk in the Treasury Department,
against whom the proofs are almost
unquestionable, q large proportion oi
the missing warrants having been
found amongst their baggage.

TIE LOST uMBnELI.A

A man may lose friends, home, po.
sition, fortune. They arc different
from an umbrella. He may lose them;
he is sure to lose that But he keep
on buying or borrowing them. If
he buys one some one borrows it
and returns it to the wrong man
without knowing it. If he borrows
one some one steals it outright, and
he has to borrow another from
another source tomake it good. We
don t understand it. Nine Of every
ten men who to-day possess um-
brellas are not the owners of them
Heaven only knows where the own
ors are. Perhaps they are dead
perhaps they are in axle, and, per
haps, which is more likely. are under
other umbrellas. People will bor-
row an umbrella when they won't
borrow anything else They will
borrow it rs long as there is bit of
cloth or rib to it. They will borrow
the stick If the slide is in it. While
it bears the remotest semblance to
an umbrella they will borrow it aud
keep it, We never vet saw an
umbrella so reduced but that some
would take it in. The only time an
umbrella is really invaluable is when
you want it, and that is the exact
time it fails to appear. When the
sun is shining brightly and the dust
il five inches thick on n level, an um-
brella becomes one of the most re-
pulsive objects in Christendom. On
such occasions it meets you on every
turn. You shut door and down it
comes and spreads out and trips you
up. You haul down your linen coat
from the closet aud find something
is holding it. II is that umbrella.
You move the flour barrel TO look
for q rat, and out comes that misera-
BILE umbrella and scrapes your shin
II raps you on the head in the stair
way, and trips you up in the hall,
and falls down on your head from
the garret, and when IL amt doing
anything else it stands up in corner
and wrings its hands and swears ai
society.-DInbury Ne,cs.

UITRAMONTANE DEPUTY-PRINCE BISMARCK y
REPLY-DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH TIE POPE
UsELEss-THE BANK QUESTION.
BERLIN, Saturday, Dec. s, 1874.
The Reichstag was to-day engaged in discussion
upon the estimates of the Foreign Ohice.
The Ultramontane Deputy, Windhorst, spoke az
length He assaed the Government for suppress
ing the legation at the Vatican. and declared that
such action would not estrange German Catholics
from the Pope.
Prince Bismarck also spoke. He said that upon
reading the report of the last debate in the Cham
ber, he discovered he had expressed conciatory
sentiments which he must now withdraw, because
he did not desire to expose himself 10 the misrepre
sentatiOn that the Imperial Government sought
peace with Rome upon any terms. Germany recog-
nized the Pope as the head of the Catholic Church,
but required no legation the Vatican. If negotia-
tons with the Pope are necessary they can be con-
Quoted through the ambassador to Italy. 90 long
as the Pope urged the Catholic clergy to break tho
laws of the States in which they live, diplomatic re-
lations between himself and Germany were useless
The Vatican desired victory for France III the late
war; that could be proved. In conclusion. Prince
Bismarck SAID he would meet Herr Windhorst IN
discussion OH this subject again in the Pruss2n Diet.
BERLIN. Dec G. 1874
The Federal Council has accepted the principle OF
an Imperial Bank and agreed TO the conditions sub-
