THERE are nine hundred thousand more wO-
men than men In England. aud the Omaha
Herald uggaantly styles them '.superfaous
surplus" while the Ogden Junction, with
equal perverseness, intimates that the fact is
justification OF polygamy. Both wrong, breth'
ren. There are no superhuous women IN the
world; neither is polygamy necessary to ena-
BILE any to "6ll the measure of their creation"
For, to Offset the excess OF nine hundred
thousand women in England, there are. on
the frontiers of civilization, an equal excess OF
men, notwithstanding the tens of thousands an
nually slain in war. These men are involuE
tary outcasts from the joys of domestic life.
lust as those nine hundred thousand women are
involuntary celibates-by operation of social
laws, and not by legislative enactments 1t re-
quires an income of $1,000 year, in these
days of barbarous fashions and unchristian van
tiles. to keep an ordinary family in the style
which custom has made absolutely necessary.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Tenpence learn to despise
the sneers Of Mr.. and Mrs. Million, and to live
within their income, in spite Of the imperial
mandates of Queen Fashion, then will nature
once more resume her rightful sway over art;
men and women will get married just.as they
used to do; bright. lovelit homes and joyous
little children will make glad the highways and
byways Of life /; society will be purified, and
there will be no surplusage of either sex, nor
any call for the utterly abhorrent monstrosity
of polygamy.

FoR sometime Rev. e. p. Hammond, anote4
revivalist. or. as he prefers to call himseh
evangelist. has been holding revival meetings
at Sacramento city, California. So wonderful
is hls influence over the minds of his audiences
that he has not only succeeded in bringing
large numbers of people into the church; but
has produced mania among preachers and
people little short Of insanity. One preach
or, q Mr. Taylor, sees constantly the faces OF
unconverted people before his eyes, some Of
whom he hunts up and succeeds in converting.
These visions appear to him both in sleeping
and waking hours. and without suggestion from
his mind. The widest stories are told of mir
acles performed in direct answer to prayer.
even to the healing of confirmed invalids and
hopeless cripples. but all of these things hap
pened thousands Of miles awsy. Upon purely
psychological principles. large numbers Of peo-
pie, during times of stormy church excitement,
think they are converted and rush into the
church: but such conversions are rarely fol-
lowed BY reformation of life. God can convert
as well when the mind 10 at rest as under ex-
element.
Some claim, too, that psychology may. and
has already been, applied to the healing of dis
ease, and we can see no objection to the argu-
ment, provided the disease to be cured be
clearly nerve affection. (HAw far all diseases
are nerve affections remains to be settled BY
scientific investigation. OF course the pres
ence of disease in the system is made known
to the mind through the medium Of the ner-
vous system; but whether the nerves must
needs be affected BY the disease before the
communication can be made 10 not 80 well set
tled.) But in the absence of any we'll anthem
ticated case Of cure without mechanical or
medicinal aid the world will generally discred.
it such stories: and when the case is presented
many will inquire whether the mind was op-
Grated upon previous to the cure. or whether It
came about instantaneously; and we are one
of the latter. If such an effect is produced
instantaneously, then there was back of it
designing power which produced it. Without
the quality Of instantaneousness, the evidence
is incomplete.

were interpreted with views OF broad
sheets o: water extending for miles along
the road and into the distance on either
side rs far as thecye could reach. Won
dertul sights were beheld and scenes of
disconsolation greeted the eye on every
