Smith. son of the Mormon Prophet.
preached to a good audience at The Hall
of the Grand Army OF the Republic,
last night. His address was devoted
mainly to an exposition of the Nor
mon faith, with the declaration that
the speaker WAS opposed to poly gamy,
and believed that his father was also.
which statement elected interesting
discussion with the members of the
audience. Smith claimed to have a
party among the Mormons If about
$4,000 in his favor who are opposed to
to Brigham Young

The above figures are in striking
contrast with the average salaries
paid TO school-teachers AMI other vo-
cations devoted to the moral, intel
lectual and material advancement Of
the people throughout the United
States. The wages of educators In
this country range from about $50 a
week, the highest paid to q few Of
the most distinguished presidents Of
great colleges down to g or 80
which is near the general average.
Some of the newspapers in Calfor-
MIA a short time ago made great
howl that the wages of principals in
the schools Of a certain important
city on the Bay. had been put up to
$50 and tl75 per month.
1t is recognized principle of po-
litical economy and moral right that
the wages Of work should be regula-
ted according to its grade. AT least
it isthe general law that labor will be
remunerated in proportion to the de-
gree in which it is appreciated.
That callings devoted exclusively
to frivolity should be several times
as well paid as those requiring the
most consummate intellectual train
ing,as well as the highest mental and
moral elevation Of character and
self-devoting labor, in the most high.

III the spring of 1850, when the Cal.
iforn:a fever was at its height, Mr..
Archie Whitehorn and James X. AL
len, (brothcr of w. b. Allen, of this
placc,) citizens of Andrew county,
among a vast number of others, were
lured to the golden State. Mr.Whitc-
horn being young man Of limited
means, was unable to pay for his
horse, and to effect thc.purchasc gave
his note to William d. Allen, for sixty
dollars. Mr.. Whitchorn went to CAL
ifornia, and engaged in speculation
and mining, with the best of success,
and is now said to be worth $50, 900.
Amid his varied business occupations
the little note entirely slipped his
mind. Mr.. Allen hearing from him,
and confding in his honor, concluded
he would try and collect the note, not
withstanding laws of Limitation. He
sent it out there by friend for COL
lection, and Mr.. Whitchorn promptly
paid it of, interest (6 per cent. in
those days,) and principal amounting
to one hundred and fifty dollars. Af-
ter dodu citing costs of collection, cx-
change, &C., there was left to Mr..
Allen the sum of S133 65 in gold, for
which he was most agreeably surpris-
cd to receive q draft OH "Wednesday

JULY l, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: 1t is with pleas
ure that send you few brief items in
and around Glenwood.
The farmers at the present time hav e
laid aside their plows, and are now fill
ing their allotted positions in the harvest
fields.
A Agood!y number Of the farmers will
have their wheat in the shock by the 4th
Of July. Wheat in this section of the
country will average about fifteen bush
els per acre.
On tho evening of tho 27th Of June,
DIR. T ii. Laney, in company with J.N.
Summers and II. Smith. went boldly
into the harvest field to try his new
Msrsh Harvester, which proved to bs q
perfect success. The Dr., with a pru.
rient desire, watched the various work
ings of his machine. He had the pleas

In jail.

IChicago Inter- Ocean, June eel
The spectacle presented in the United
States courtroom last Saturday, was
indeed sad one. When q half dozen
men, known for many years as among
the most active and respected Of our
citizens, are arraigned Us criminals, and
sentenced to confinement in the COM
mon Jail, the incident is one which
whatever else may be said Of il. calls
for gravity instead of merry making.
In every sense, therefore, the cheap
display Of wit indulged in by some Of
our contemporaries over the sight Is in
exceeding bad taste. and speaks ill for
those who manifest II. How many Of
those who speak so virtuously would
have remained unsullicd had they been
subject TO similar temptations under
similar circumstances Is q question
which we leav6 them to answer for
themselves; but that il is not their cx-
ceptional integrity that has kept them
from offences like these, many people
arc prone TO believe. When the author
OF the Pilgrims Progress saw q con-
condemned murderer on his way to tho
scaffvld, he cried out: .srhere, hut for
the mercy ot God, goes John Bunyan!n
and this was frank admission Of tho
natural tendencies TO evil In the human
heart. which every man recognizes as
just. Many Of bose who watched the
from the courtroom to the Jail last Sal.
urday would have truthiully said In their
hearts doubtless: '.But Tor fortunate
circumstances We might be Of that num-
ber,n and Il was no admission Of excep-
tional depravity II such an expression
escaped them.
But. though we regret the stroke that
has overtakea those who have been so
long identified with the prosperity and
business interests Of the city. we cannot
but see the good that must result there
from. These convictions make palpa-
BILE the fact. obscure and uncomprehen-
ded before that the public revenue is a.
sacred as private savings. How many
might have been led 10 commit frauds
on the public treasury y year ago we
do not know; but we do know that
the number who would commit them to-
day is few. Aud this lesson was one
much needed. Tho widespread impgse.
sion that the defrauding Of the eovsrn-
ment involved more Of shrewdness than
crime Is one that the public safety ~
lquired should be dissipated. and ~
convictions that have followed tke
whisky prosecutions In the Wet have
pretty thoroughly dlssipAtsdit. That
the blow has fallen on tkoss who have
been 80 long hsld In reepect ~ regret !
but that Il has ALLEN n such way ~ "a
