Annuities Of the ouesn Of England and he
Children.

The regular annual allowance OF, Queen
Victoria is ESs5yoOo or S1,025, 900, "for
the support of her Maiesty's household, and
of the honor and dignity Of the Crown of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland" Besides this, the Queen has also
paid to her revenue of the Duchy of Lam
caster, which amounted last year to e4e, geo
net, or $4,000 more. But this prodigious
allowance TO the Queen, who represents the
head Of the State, is by no means all. That
expensive young man, the Prince Of Wales,
draws an annuity from the British people
OF 6 5000 per annum in his own right, and
$4,000 in the name Of the Princess. his
wife, making $3.50, 900 year, which he con-
descends to accept for keeping up the honor
and dignity or the heir-apparent of the
crown. In addition to this, the Prince has
on income the revenues of the Duchv of
Cornwall, which amounted last wear to co2.
SIS, or over $780, 900. Even this-more
than half million OF money per annum-
il appears it Is not enough for the expen-
sive habits of the young Prince, who has
contrived to run in debt, after the example
Of George the Fourth, to the extent of sew
eral hundreds Of Thousands of pounds, the
scandal of which with threatened appesl
to Parliament for special appropriations TO
pay it, has long agitated the British mind.
The other annuities to members of Queen
Victorias family, who has nine children
are as follows: Prince Alfred Duke of
second son), Cd, 200; Prince
Arthur Duke OF Connausht third aou).

"Pin-Backs" in the Country.

A subscriber in the country sends us a
graphic account of a thrilling but ludicrous
incident THAI happened in this neighbor-
hood last week. A fashionable city girl
came out to visit his sisters. She wore a
jauuty hat, a ccquettish spit-curl, and the
pin-backedest sort Of pin-bakess. On
Thursday his two sisters and the city girl
meandered out the shady lane 10 drink in
the beauties of the beauties of the scenery
and talk about the beaux. Presently a
loud believing was heard, and a mad bull
was seen paving the earth at the other end
Of the lane, and coming toward the ladies.
The country girls, admonishinS their friend

into an adjoining field with an agility, if
not the grace OF circus actor. The citv
damsel attempted TO run quick" but il
was mournful failure. She was only five
yards from the fence, but the longest step
she could achieve was not over six inches
and her frantic efforts to escape the i'm.
pending danger were painful TO witness.
with mischief in his ewes, and his tail
switching ominously. For a minute or
two the situation was such as would have
filled the soul of a newspaper reporter with
Joy. But the fashionabi, dressed young la
dy proved equal 10 the emergency. She
Just laid down and rolled to the fence, and.
by an overwhelming effort, busted the
Pinback arrangement, and went over the
fence regardless Of etiquette, or anything
else, and the bull passed on with a sampIe
of her dress on his horns, mutterine all the
while about the rainy spell, or something
that way. That city girl says the next
time she visits the country she will wear
skirts expansive enough TO permit her TO
step over q hay wagon, should necessity

An Editors Opinion.

The reader will remember that in some
sort a companion case to that of Colonel
Antho6y's, In the shape Of an editor sur
viving a wound that would have immedi-
ately killed ten laymen, has existed for the
past six months, be the same more or less,
in New jersey. This editorial invulnera-
bility, however, has its heel of Achilles in
which the shafts Of death may At any mo-
ment penetrate As has already been men,
tor" Colonel Anthony cannot indulge in
the ia1ury Of getting mad without endan-
gering his certain loss Of life, and now Uri
Carruth. the hero of the New jersey un-
pleasantness, is developing symptoms,
which may result in his being snuffed out
like candle at almost any moment. Thus
far, Lands, who, to SO comparatively little
purpose, put bullet in Carruth's brain,
has escaped nearly scot free, having been
released from imprisonment on bail, and
Carruth not vet having pressed his civil
damages which are laid at $4,000. II,
however, Carruth dies within year from
the time of shooting, Lands, according to
the laws OF New jersey, Is liable to be in
dicted for murder in the first degree, and
thus a very decided sword of Damocles in
the shape Of imprisonment for life, if not
hanging, hangs over him. One can imag.
inc with what feelings of the livliest in
terest he must interview Carruth's physic-
ian to enquire after his patients health ev-
cry morning. And with what Joy ~ill he
hail the rising of the sun year and day
from the shooting match.-Denrer Nors

HERE'S RICHNESS
Brigham Young on the Sisters RULES,
Bows, Puts and Trimmings.

Brigham Young preached on the fash
ions last Sunday, and here is an extrac,
from. his sermon:
Now, then, leaving the useless things
which the brethren use-tea, coffee, tobac-
co, beer, whisky, etc, | will allude TO some
that the sisters Use and wear, such Us tea,
coffee, snuff. tobacco, opium, and then the
ru.iles, bows, Pufis, trimmings, and this,
that and the other. that they wear on their
dresses that are useless. What shall We do
in regard to these things? Nv senses tell
me that the children OF Zion should for
sake every needless fashion and custom
which they now practice. My wives dress
very plainly, but | sometimes ask them
the utility Of some of the stripes and
putis which l see on their dresses.
1 remember asking a lady this ques-
ton once, and inquired If they kept the
bed-bugs and flies away. Well, If they do
that they are very useful, but if they do
not, what Use are they? Nome whatever.
Now, some ladies will buy a cheap dress,
say a cheap calico, and they will spend
from five 10 fifteen dollars worth of time
in making it up, which is wasting SO much
OF the substance which God has given them
be devoted TO a better purpose. have had
an observation made TO me, which l will
relate; have never done il, but | believe
will now. 1t has been said to me, "Yes
Brigham, we have seen ladies go TO parties
in plain, homemade dresses, but every man
was after the girls who had on a hundred
dollars worth of fol-de-rol, and they would
dance with every woman and girl
except the one in plain dress,
and they would let her stay by the
wall the whole evening" Ii may be in
some cases, but should not be- 1t adds no
beauty to lady, in my opinion, TO adorn
her with fine feathers. When | look at a
woman look al her face, which is COM

and chin, and | like 10 see it clean, her
hair combed neat ali nice, and her ewes
bright and sparkling; and if they are so,
what do SSre what she has on her head, or
how or of what material her dress is made I?
Not the least in the world. If woman is
clean in person, and has on 4 nice clean
dress, she looks a great deal better when
washing her dishes, making her butter
or cheese, OF sweeping her house, than
those who, as / told them in Provo,
walked the streets with their spanker jib
flying. Ii adds no beauty TO a lady or gem
tleman 10 have a great many frills on their
dresses or coats; beauty must be sought in
the expression of the countenance combined
with neatness and cleanliness and graceful
manners. All the beauty which nature be-
slows is exhibited, let the dress be ever so
plain, if the wearer OF it be only neat and
comely. Do not fine feathers look well
les, they are very pretty, but they look just
as we'll on these dolls, these fixed up ma
chimes which they have in the stores. as
anywhere else; they certainly add nothing
TO the beauty of lady or gentleman, as far |
as l ever saw.

and there would undoubtedly have been

now, however, that the man who refused
