Beecher Scandal.

We received night before last by
telegraph ten closely-written pages on
the Beecher scandal. We had neither
room nor inclination to publish it.
Nearly the whole of it was Moulton's
statements against Beecher, and was
a recapitulation of the old story. Per-
haps We do not appreciate the great
Importance of this affair. We cer-
fainly have no appetite for such mess
es. Whether we are deficient in moral
culture, refinement or superior order
of civilization we cannot tell, but we
are certainly far behind our Eastern
friends in some peculiar characters
tics. The fact that they thought that
stuff Of so much Importance to the
citizens of Los Angeles that they la
bored all night, at great expense, to
send it on the wires across the conti-
nent to the exclusion of all other news,
so that We might feast upon it at our
early breakfast tables, manifests a
state of refinement in New York and
Brooklyn to which we are utter stran-
gers in Los Angeles. We would sug-
gest to the Telegraph operators at San
+ Francisco that they need not sit up all
night to send any more important
news on that subject to the HERALD.

Eureka.

We have always thought that there
was something wanting to make up
the sum-that of human happiness in
this glorious free country of ours.
Now we have found the true panacea,
and the only wonder is that it was not
discovered long ago so simple and easy
does it appear. The honor of hatch
ing out the glorious idea belongs to q
Prophet in our midst, who sends
us the following communication
EDITOR HERALD:
'tThe wisdom of age gives me mystical lore,
And coming events cast their shadows be-
fore.n
That "long petition to Congress
from the women of Utah-what does
it indicate? 1t has been said
'sThe wfe's ambition is support,
And that will pay the parsons due.n
Does not the petition indicate that
female suffrage and universal polyg-
amy are synonymous? 1t certainly
does, under a constitution like the
present Federal. Incorporate into the
Federal constitution the following
principles and we endorse female suf-
frage:
!. That oil property is the property
of God.
2. That at any PERSONS demise his
property should revert to Government
as Gods representation.
3. That annually the reverted prop
erty should be distributed equally
among young persons at the time
they have arrived at the age of
twenty-one years. PROPHET.

The crowning glory of a man is good hat
II is the distinctive mark of a gentleman.
No matter il his clothes are threadbare, he
has STYLISH hat; people don't look at any
thing else; in fact il not only covers his head
but the defects of all sorts which would be-
come visible were his hat not perfect. Des-
mond has the most stylish and perfect arii-
cles at his store on. Main street, in Temple

stood. He is out of order and Is
looked upon as an antagonistic char
acter, and every mans hand is against
him. II a man wishes to pass along
quietly through the world he must
adapt himself TO the habits and fash
ion of the world, which is intensly sell
fish and mean. The principle is well
illustrated by Mark Twain's good little
boy. Remembering the example of
George Washington and other good
characters which he had read about
in his Sunday School lessons,
he made up his mind to initiate them,
and from that hour his troubles COM
menced. In befriending the blind
man he was misunderstood, and even
the blind man gave him terrible
thrashing for attempting to lead him
out of the way of the pelting stones
thrown by bad boys. The blind man
was not to blame, he acted upon the
same principle that the world is now
acting. He believed that the good
boys intention were combative, and
how was it possible for him to conceive
the idea that there was goodness
enough in any boy to come to the as
sistance of poor blind man? Illus
trations of the same principle are pass
ing before our eyes every day. Every
good mans motives are impugned. If
he gives aims, the act isl set down to
some secret sinister motive. If he is
benevolent and kind to the poor, he is
charged with seeking popularity if
he chooses to remain poor rather than
make wealth by dishonest means,
everybody says, "he has no business
capacity" The greatest sufferers in
this or any other community are gen.
orally the best people in it. The true
philosophy of all this misunderstand-
ing is this: The great preponderance
of the world is selfish and its tenden-
cy is to evil. And it is not possible
for them to understand the conduct of
an unselfish, pure-minded man. If
the heart and brain of the world shall
ever be sufficiently elevated to COM
prehend the conduct and motives of
an unselfish man then misunderstand-
ings shall cease. But until thattime
arrives the promised Inheritance of
the good is " in the world We shall
have tribulation.n

ander, in conversation to-day denied
the assertions that he is starving him.
self to death. He says he will eat
meat or other food which the Rabbi
consents to, provided it is prepared by
Jews according to Jewish methods.
The food prepared at the jail is not
prepared according to his religion, and
it would not be in accordance with his
creed to eat it. The Sheriff says lt
would permit Rubenstein's friends t,
bring him food, under certain restric-
tions, but the authorities fear that
their horror of capital punishment
would lead them to aid the accused to
make away with himself, and there
fore it is necessary to guard
against this by every precau-
tion. The Jail physician says,
although Rubenstein is greatly debili-
tated, heis in a healthier condition
tfAn when first placed in confinement.
The accused looks, however, as though
he would not live week. His eman-
cipated figure and deathly color of his
skin show that he is subjecting him
self to very great privations in the
matter of food. Rubenstein has great
dread of rats which infest the Jail.
He says they keep him awake atnight
and disturb him at his devotions. He
is very confident of being able toprove
shis innocence.

LONDON, Feb. 4th.-In the London
corn market there has been limited
trade of a dull and unsatisfactory
character. Values have not changed
materially, but such slight changes as
have been made are in favor of buy
ers. At the leading provincial mar
kets on Tuesday, Wednesday and yes-
terday, wheat was six pence to shill-
ing lower. The imports have been
fairly good, say As 900 quarters. Arri-
walls of maize have been moderate,
$1,000 quarters. Deliveries of English
are rather above the average and in
clude $500 oats. At Paris, the week
ly reports show the market lower for
flour and some sorts of wheat. The
continental markets generally are
slow and dull. 1t is observed that
quantities of wheat, barley and maize
now on passage to Great Britain are
considerably smaller than a year ago.
