One of the greatest hlunders General Grant ever made was his Arkansas mes sage to the late Congress-. Luckily the facts disclosed by ths report of the com mittee and the unanswerable arguments OfJudge Poland prevailed with the House, and the Presidents suggestions were dis regarded. The people of Arkansas there upon celebrated their dehverance by day of thanksgiving, and there seems no doubt that the State is better governed, and that better order and a more hopeful feeling prevail than have ever done since the war.
 The occasion of the deep feeling against the Republican rsgine in that State Is ex- plained very clearly in the recent cores pondence of Charles Nordhoff with the New York Herald. The populahoR of that State is about half as large again as that of Connecticut. When reconstruc ton began, their debt was about three and a half millions. Then followed the usual carpet-bagging rascalities that have disgraced the Republican name through out the South. The State debt was iu- creased to fifteen millions. Counties, cities. and towns, were burdened with five millions in addition. Yet all there IS to show for this enormous outlay is about 27l miles of railway; part of which is well built and well located, and the re- mainder is probably as nearly vaiuless as the Northern Pacific. We are not told whether the State has any first lien on these roads, or whether they are practical ly owned by speculators. Besides the State grants to railroads were heavy issues of levee bonds, and town and municipal scrip. The schools are nearly all closed because the school fund was stolen: pub ho buildings are in a state of dilapidation, and city streets have gone unpaved
 Much of this enormous debt is illegal. and much fraudulent, so that there will probably be repudiation of veryslafge portion of it. Indeed, with an indebted ness amounting to $115 on each person in the State, an impoverished people, and general depression of business and values, there seems no other resource even if these public debts were legally contract cd.
 To such pass has half dozen years of Clayton rings and Republican misgovern- ment brought the State of Arkansas when the success of the Conservatives and the adoption of the new constitution offered prospect of honest government for the fu- sure. It was this government and this constitution that President Grant was in- dueed to recommend Congress to over- throw! It is such Republican rascality at the South, and such Republican blunder- ing at Washington, that have lost our party % many States. Northern Republicans are too intelligent not to understand such a condition of things and too honest to support it.

cretly married to Brigham on the It'll of
April, 1868, by IIeber Kimball at his
house. She was ordered not to reveal
the union to any one because Of the law
that had just been passed
BY Congress against polygamy,
ard after months residence
with the Prophet returned to her faith
er8 house soath of Salt Lake City. A
week after her return Brigham came to
see her, but only made short call. For
FIVE years she lived with her parents,
making butter and cheese for Brigham's
household. During those five years
Brigham once in q while visited her, but
these visits were few and far between.
Describing some of the social life of the
Prophet, she said that his greatest vanity
was to marry young and attractive
women. He loved, in his way, the young.
est and most beautiful wife, until grow
ing tired of her he would hunt upan her
He denounced the wearing OF fine clothes
and required all his household to wear
plain, and, above all, inexpensive articles
ofapparel. He gave social entertain
ments at his house, sometimes bringing
all his wives together with the wives of
the Elders of his Church. She had been
to two of those delectabe entertainments
I,t. liln't
90 to another. Speaking of the
rations that the Prophet dealt out to his
wives, she said that mothers supply
would be about five pounds of sugar, one
pound of candles, one bar of soap, one
box of matches, other things in such
stinting proportions. She had known
him time and again to take the home Of
widow and turn it into the Church be-
cause she had no one to stand up for her
rights IN the property Brigham himself
was the Church, and no one dared to
weston his authority, or to resist his
schemes for robbery. She tod next OF
his favoritism TO Amelia, and how that
fu2ored wife rules him to this day, illus
tratlng it by the story Of the sewing
machine which he purchased for he, and
which, not suiting her, she pitched down
stairs after HIM, rs he was rctrcating
from her Infatuated presence.
Ann Eliza after this told Of her later
struggles, how, after FIVE years of cheese
making for Brigham and his other wives.
she concluded to strike out for herself,
and went over to the Gcntiles at Sac
Lake; how she took board ut hotel there
and instituted proceedings tor DIVORCE
how she was met by minions from Brig
ham who offered her if she would dis
continue those proceedings she should be
installed rs his favorite wI!ri how she
escaped from Salt Lake by night in -
covered carriage, and how her famous
trial against the Prophet ended in com.
plctc victory.
The lecture throughout was both in.
tcrcsting and instructive, n showing
something Of the inner and domestic lie

so foul blot on our American cIviliza-
ton. Coming from woman who has

A SPECIAL merit in the Weber Piano
is the singular quality of tone, which
lends TO them all inestimable charm.
Their touch is exceedingly easy aud
pleasant; and indeed the lingering of an
accomplished master, like the manufac-
ture himself, their various points of eX-
cellence, their brilliancy and delicacy
and rich volume of tone Is superbly
brought out. 1t seems impossible for
any one to MAKE an instrument nearer
perfection, Call and see them at Shieb's
