A MORMON SERMON.
THE poLYGAM1sr WOMEN AND cH1LDRE:

THE POLYGAMIST WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
Orson Pratt, one of the twelve Apostles
of Mormonism,-and who, in point of in
telligence and oratorical power, is chief of
them all-preached a sermon on the his
tory of the Mormonism from its commence
ment down to the present. All the pro-
phecies in Isaiah, jeremiah and Daniel,
which Catholic and Protestant Divines from
the days of the Apostles down until the
present, have applied to Christ, he applied
to their great prophet, Joe Smith. He
made it clear to his own mind perhaps that
the Lords house, which is to be established
on the tops Of the mountains is the church
Of the Latter-day Saints here in Utah. The
most curious thing about this whole affair
was that the Apostle Pratt seemed to be-
licve what he said, and seemed sincere in
wanting others to believe it. Many hun
dreds of Gentiles however, who heard him
to the close Of his hour and a half sermon
went away with the ''same opinion still. :"
Polygamy as system has stamped indie
libly It's cure upon the face of every woman
and child connected with it. / looked in
the faces Of over one thousand wives Of
polygamists to-day, as they sat in the taber-
nacle, and did not see one bright, contented
countenance in the crowd The women are
the sufferers by this system, notwithstand-
ing Mark Twain has said, after he saw the
women, his sympathies were with the men.
The children are dwared in size, and far
below the average in intelligence, | think
speak intelligently on this point, as was
in several of their Sunday schools, and had
a chance to observe carefully. What these
people have suffered and wrought is liter
ally wonderful, but it only shows what a
mighty thing faith is--even faith in the
most stupendous errors of the times.

Paris Green on Potatoes.

At a recent meeting of the Academy of
Natural Sciences, in Philadelphia, the sub
ject of the application of mineral poisons to
plants, for the purpose of destroying
noxious insects, was discussed. DIR. lie
Conte said that although Paris green was
believed to be insoluble, still, when applied
in quantity to growing plants, it will kill
them as well as the larvae of insects. DR..
Kenig said that the death of the plant is
owing to the fact that the Paris green
undergoes certain chemical changes when III
connection with leaves, which destroys the
water cells of the growing plant, causing it
to wither He thought this substance
should not be used on plants. Colonel
Bryan referred to the poisonous character
of the beetles which infested the potato
vines, and that the instances in which this
character was noticed were of beetles taken
from fields in which Paris green had been
used. lie Contc expressed his belief that
hand labor would be the most appropriate
way of dealing with the potato beetle. Mr..
Speakman counsellcd the examination OF
the plants as soon as they appear above
ground, and dwelt upon the Importance OF
crushing the clusters Of orange-colored eggs
on the under side Of the leaves.

Remedy for Cabbage Worms.

Hcllebore, lime, salt and similar sub
stances have been used with varied success
for the destruction of cabbage worms. 1t
is now stated that bran and buckwhcat flour
answer the same purpose better than any
other remedies that have been tried The
bran is simply busted over the infested cab
bage as soon as the worms are very thick,
about handful of bran is required to each
cabbage head and sometimes it is necessary
to go over the plants the second time A
hundred weight of bran is sufficient for an
acre. 1t must be applied when the worms
are young. When they are full grown or
very strong, it does not appear to affect
them The buckwhcat -four is sifted upon
them by means of seive, in the evening
or in the morning-when the dew is on the
plants. If one application does not destroy
the worms second should be made. 1t is
palpable that wheat flour, fine Indian meal
or any other pulyerulent farinaceous sub
stance would have the same effect.

Digger Indians.

y correspondent of the Santa Rosa, Cal,
Times writes Their wigwams are built
throughout of redwood bark, and are round
in shape, which can be better explained by
saying that they are in the shape of bowl
upside down, with Il smaller one placed also
upside down on the top. There are no win
dow, and aside from the aperture for en-
trance, which is about two feet square, and
small opening at the top to allow the SNAKE
to escape, there is no opening to this conical
shaped enclosure. To enter one of hese
huts 1t becomes necessary to get down and
crawl in. Once inside strange sight greets
the eye. The majority of both sexes are
perfectly naked, and, being scrupulously
particular each one does his or her own
cooking. They sleep in circle in hollow
places in the ground, with feet to the centre.
Their cooking apparatus, which consists of
good-sized rocks followed out, is in conven-
lent reach, and the Digger need not rise to
prepare his breakfast. The food consists of
bread made from acorns, which are first
buried, then roasted, then pulverized, and
lastly mixed up with water and baked. This
bread is said to be very nourishing. Their
mode Of preparing squirrel, hare, etc, is to
take them just as when killed, pound them
to a jelly and then roast them Another
article of food very common with them is
known as the fish worm The Digger is
an inveterate gambler, and his principal
game is very simple, consisting of holding
both hands behind him, in one of which is
a stick, while another bets he can tell in
which hand he holds it. 1t is stated that
they scorn cheating, and after the bets are
made, never change the stick from one
hand to the other Their money consists
Of little round shells with hole in the
center, which one Of their number is
selected to manufacture No counterfeiting
is ever attempted. Each shell Represents
about half a cent Of American money, and
is taken by their tribe as greediIy as gold
y string of their money can be seen at this
Office, and it is wonderful how uniform
these buttons can be made by simply
rubbing them on stone with the hand
