BRIGHAM YOUNG ON The FASHION.

The San Francisco Chronicle of a
recent date says Brigham Young
preached on the fashions last Sunday,
and here is an extract from his sermon:
Now, then, leaving the useless things
which the. brethren use-tea, coffee,
tobacco, beer, whiskey, &c.-I will
allude to some that the sisters use and
wear, such as tea, coffee, snuff, tobacco,
opium, and then the rufles, bows, puffs,
trimmings, and this, that, and the
other they wear an their dresses that
are useless. What shall we do in re-
gard to these thingsi My senses tell
me that the children Of Zion should
forsake every needless fashion and
custom that they now practice. My
wives dress very plainly, but I some
times ask them the utility Of some Of
the stripes and pufs which l see on
their dresses. /. remember asking a
lady this question once, and inquired if
they kept the bedbugs and flies away.
Well, if they do that they ara,suseful,
butiif they do not, what use are they ?
None whatever. Now, some ladies
! will buy cheap dress, say a cheap
calico, and they will spend from five to
fifteen dollars worth of time in maxim 6
it up, which is wasting so much of the
substance which God has given them
on the lust Of the eye, s,and which
should be devoted to better. purpose.
I have had an observation made to
me, which I will relate; I have never
done it. but believe I will now. 1t
has been said to me, Yes; Brigham,
we have seen ladies igo to parties in
plain home made dresses, but every
msu was after the girls who had on a
hundred dollars worth of folrde.rol,
and the, would dance with every
woman and girl except the one in a
plain dress, and they would let her stay
by the wall the whole evening. 1t may
be in some cases but should not be. 1t
adds no beauty 20 lady, in my opinion
to adorn her with fine features. When
look at a woman look at her face,
which is composed of her forshea,l,
cheek, nose, mouth. and chin, and
like to see it clean, her HAIR combed
neat and nice, and her eyes bright and
sparkling; ahd if they are SO, what do
| care what she has on her head, or
how or of what material her dress Is
made7 Not the least in the world. If
woman is clean in person, aud has OIL
nice, clean dress, she looks a great
deal better when washing her dishes,
making her butter or cheese, or sweep
ing her house, than those who, as
told tl,hm III Prevo, walked the streets
with their spanker jibs flying. 1t adds
no beauty to lady or gentleman to
have great many frills in their dresses
or coats: beauty must be sought in the
expression Of the couatenance combined
with neatness and cleanliness and
graceful manners. All the beauty
which nature bestows is exhibited. let
the dress be ever SO plain, if the
| wearer of it be only neat aud eomely.
Do not fine feathers look well9 Yes,
they are very pretty, but they look just
as well on these dolls, these fi1ed-up
machines 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"

hN0hope butin the defeat of Grant,
cries the New Orleans Bulletin, and
the lesser lights Of Democratic news
paperd0m throughout the State take
up the refrain, seemingly forgetful
that their war cry of "Auy thing to
beat Graut" in 1872 was used by Re-
ppblieans as an effective weapon to
break the pemoe1atic head. 1t will
answer the same purpose in 1876, and
it these scribblevs are wise they will
let it alone. The loyal masses of this
country are not yet ready to believe
that the only hope for the nation lies
in the humiliation of the leader of it's
victorious armies in the contest With
rebellion, and nothing can tend more
n perMtuate the power and popu-
larity Of Gen, Grant than the abuse
and denunciation hurled ut him by
leaders and sympathizers Of the Sc
ceasIor 1no. ement Of 1861 -'65.

A monster meeting was held at Elk
position Hall, New Orleans, Thursday
evening, to welcome the return Of
Senator Pinchback from Washington
and listen to his views upon the 'situa-
ton. The spacious hall was filled to
overlooking with people Of all classes
and shades, among whom were many
Of the most prominent Republicans
and Democrats of the State. The
welcome address Of Hon. j. Sella Mar
tiri and the response of Senator Pinch
back were both eloquent, able and
pleasing efforts, and we shall endeavor
to give them more extended notice
hereafter. Fresh from the scene of
his ineffective labors to secure justice
at the hands of the Senate, it must
have been peculiarly gratifying to
Mr.. Pinchback to receive such warm
greeting from his constituents. So
long ~ he holds their confidence and
good will, he can we'll afford to bide
patiently the action of the Senate upon
bis claim for seat.

BLOODY oAnpo.

Scarcely week passes that does not
bring news from Caddo parish of solae
horrible crime, A short time ago q
colored woman was shot down in Gold
blood BY man named Myers, who
has eluded the officers If the law to
this time, and is likely to do so for
many day to come, if not forever.
Last week q c0lOred man was killed
by storekeeper for not obeying with
sufficient alacrity an order to leave
the store, where he was engaged in
an angry discussion with companion.
It has not been long since an inno-
cent colored man was brutally muir
dered by white rufians for refusing
to confess completely in robbery
with which it was afterward ascer-
tanned he had nothing to do; nor
much longer since still another man
Of color was fred upon in his own
house during the night by squad Of
masked men; nor great while longer
since the mysterious killing of yet
another colored man who bore an ex-
cellent character and was respected
by all classes. We do not infer from
the coincidence that all these persons
who met with violent death were
colored and all the known perpetra-
tors Of the revolving deeds are white,
that the murders are due immedi-
ately to political causes, because Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans seem to
have united in denouncing them but
there can be little doubt that the state
Of political anarchy which pre- vailed
in Caddo for several months preced-
ing the recent election has given rise
to the present deplorable condition Of
society there. " Human life is held
to cheaply in this community" SAID
Gen. Sheridan in one of his famous
dispatches to the Secretary Of War, and
his remark applies with peculiar force
to " bloody Caddo."
