The Sultan of Turkey has five hun
dred wives, and YET the very latest ad-
Vices received ut this Office announces
him as being far, far from gay. 1t is
said that the unhappiness Of the unfor-
tunate man arises to q great extent
from the ruling of the United States
Judges In the case of Ann Eliza vs..
Brigham Young, in the now celebrated
suit instituted by No. II, which is the
designation of Ann Eliza in the harem
OF the Salt Lake ruler. Questions of ali
mony lie heavily upon the mind Of the
illustrious brother Of the sun, who fears
that the Star of Empire having taken its
way westward until it bathed in the wa
ters Of the great Pacific, may eastward
turn its mighty course and play sad
havoc with the light advertisements of
his idle hours, by an introduction into
his domains of the ideas which obtain
in the land Of the free and the home of
the brave. 10 say nothing OF what may
possibly be the hopes and fears OF that
iIlustrious monarch when the latest
styles Of bonnets are introduced into his
kingdom, who can estimate the anguish
OF his heart when he eontemplates the
spectacle OF q judge who shall inconti-
court, because he has, forso0th, de-
disenchanted Gulnare Of his harem the
aljmony ordered by that august tribu.
nall Who shall measure his woe when,
having declinedoo purchase . brooch

to vex and annoy him in his hours that

Poor fellow, the warm days are coming
on apace, and Roundabout sighs with
him at the prospect Of those dark days
that shall come to him when the erratic
star shall backward turn In Its course
and swoop down upon him with its new
load Of disasters, its alimonies, its
Judges, its lawyers, its scandals from

that are In store for him, and as Round |

Indifference in Politics.

There is nothing in politics so well
calculated to defeat the right and
saddle bad men and bad meas
urcs upon the people as this
horrid indifference manifested by a
certain class of voters No voter can be
truly said to be honestly and fcrvidlv
patriotic who neslccts to do his poliii-
cal duty. 1t is not so much the neg.
lecting Of his duty to vote at general
election that works such evil to the
State, as it is the ncglcCting to do his
duty when the initial political steps are
to be taken, such the primary meet
ing and county convention. We are pre-
pared to sympathise with the complaincr
who has done his duty to avert political
evils by an honest and earnest attention
to his duty as a citizen, but it is but little
sympathy that man will receive who has
shrked his Guty in this respect. The
consistent citizen can, with some patience,
endure the out land out political rogue, but
he can entertain no feeling but one of pity
and disgust for the croaker who, saying
Zone vote will make no difference" stays
at home from the convention and the polls.
The Oregon City Enterprise has the fol-
lowing sensible words Oh this subject:
"Granting that it is not necessary that
the entire voting element Of this country
he sbsolute working politicians,--is that,
any reason why people should absent
themselves from the polls entirely, ignor-
ing their own best interests, and refrain
ing to give utterance to their hearts voices
and honest convictions? People say thai,
the tracks are so crooked on which poll
tics are now run, that no man desiring
safety to his reputation can allow his name
to come before the people as a candidate
for public Office. If this is true, upon
whom is the blame to tall WAY upon
those apathetic voters, who keep away
from the polls, eschewing primaries and
caucuses, and allowing the making of
tickets, platforms, and parties to fall into
the hands Of incompetent, and many times
interruptions, men.
At the present writing there is nothing
in particular Of interest transpiring in the
politics Of the Territory, but VT give the
above by way Of gentle reminder, which
we hope will have tle effect of rousing
listless voters in the future, when all will
be called upon to discharge tits duty.

death found to be apoplcxv. He will
be barred at \atick, Massachusetts, his

Mr.. Wilson has served the country

Massachusetts, strongest opponents to
the slave power. and did much in his
day to rid the country of that foulcst
