Women Voting in Utah.

The wife of ex-Secretary Black, Mrs.
Maxwell, Mrs. Ashman, Mrs. Lloyd,
Miss Genevieve Hartwen, and several
other Gentle ladies took an active part
in their respective precincts, and cleo
tioneered with the polygamous wives OF
the saints. They would argue the
point in this way: "Why. Mrs. -,
I'm astonished, How can you for mo-
ment think of voting for Cannon? He
has four wives, and, being woman,
YOU know he can not love them all as he
ought to. He is 4 brute! Take this
ticket and vote for Baskin, a man who
does not believe in degrading women.
The Gentle ladies turned out in full
force, voted ike men, and did all their
talking afterwards. The votes of sew
eral Mormon women were challenged
by Gentle men, who did so with ex-
treme courtesy and timidity. The WON,
en- are perfectly shocked, and seem,
ed afraid of swearing to their voting
qualifications. Two of the wives Of
Bishop Woolley were challenged, but
they swore stoutly enough to get then
votes in.-Letter to the San Francisco

strong Nerves an AuainabIe Blessing

There are many who have never known
the blessing of strong nerves, having been
born with weak ones. Those who have,
and through disease or some other cause,
have suffered loss of nerve power, can, by
contrast. moro fully appreciate the magni-
tude of that loss. The true way 10 repair 1t
is to inyigorate the system through the me
dunn Of improved digestion, secretion, and
the establishment Of a regular habit OF
body, three results invariably accomplished
bv tlie use Of Hostctter's Stomach Bitters,
which insures the thorough conversion of
the food into pure, nOuTishing blood, from
which the nerves. in common with every
other part OF the bodily economy gather
yigor, the grand prerequisite Of health, The
great objection to sedltives and narcotics IS
that they not only exert no tonic influence,
but are always followed by a hurtful reac'
ton Such is far from being the case with
the Bitters, the primary action of which is
most salutary, and whose after effects are
beneficial in the extreme.

The Whipping-pOst in Delaware.

At New Castle, Del, seven men were
logged on Saturday in the presence Of
about 500 spectators. Quite number
of women were present who seemed to
enjoy the scene. The first to receive
the punishment was John Conner, con-
victed of stealing basket of tomatoes
and sentenced to pay 80 cents restitu-
ton money, one month'simprisonment,
and to wear convict's jacket for six
months after his discharge from prison.
He received five lashes lightly laid on.
The second was a negro named Scott
Wilson, convicted of stealing pair of
pantaloons. He was punished with
twenty laShes. In addition he viii be
imprisoned for six months, must wear the
Jacket six months more, and must pay
81 restitution money. John Carpenter,
who had been convicted upon four
different indictments of stealing a COW,
received forty lashes without word in
dicating pain, although his back was
badly lacerated. He will pay $40
restitution money and be imprisoned
for two years. John Brown, convicted
of steali-g a mare, and sentenced to
three years. Imprisonment, to pay 500
restitution money, and to stand in the
pillory for one hour, received twenty
lashes, well laid on, bringing blood.
His hour in the pillory had weakened
him, and he groaned at each stroke.
John Smith and Joseph Darias, ne
groes, who had been in the pillOry for
an hour, received the same number as
Brown. They suffered much and
writhed in pain, Darias, who is an old
offender, begging and pleading with the
Sheriff for mercy. When It was over
their black backs showed horrible
sight. Darias, convicted of horse-steal-
ing, will also be imprisoned for two
years and pay S75 restitution money.
Smith, who was convicted of larceny,

serve and S12 restitution money to pay.

The saloon in New Orleans called
elephant Johnny's," brought into
notoriety as polling-place in the re-
cent election, is type of its class. a
writer in the Boston Herald says
"Along the sides of the bar-room are
rows of large barrels standing upright
on a low platform running just the
width of the bottom of the barrels, that
are all of one size. These barrels are
painted green, with black hoops, and
labeled whisky, brandy, rum, gin,
claret wine, port wine, ETC., there being
no lager or beer of any kind, it being
cheaper to sell full glass of brandy
than full glass of lager. The rules of
these houses is that a person may come
up to the counter, deposit thereon a
five-cent piece, and the bartender viii
furnish the customer with tin mug
that will hold an ordinary tumblerful,
and he has the freedom to take his
choice from any one of the barrels,
and, also, if he likes, he may take the
best capacity Of the mug" The vari-
Gus liquors sold are all made of bad
whisky, diluted, and favored and col
ored.

What Becomes of Old Clothes.

Nothing seems to be so thoroughly
used up as old clothes. The buying
and selling of cast-off apparel is bust
ness in London. Usually the worn
garments are freshened up by dye
stuffs, pressed and otherwise dOctored
for the market. This process is called
clobbering, and in itself is a business.
The better class of old dress coats,
when nicely clobbered, have a respect
able appearance. Clerks with poor
salaries, walters, small tradesmen, and
curates with meager stipends are among
the purchasers. Goats and wooden gar
ments which have done good service
are exported to Ireland and Holland,
where you may see them in great guam
titles for sale at the fair and markets.
Wooden garments may be disposed of
time after time; they are at length no
longer passable, and then comes a to-
tai revolution in their character; the
buttons are taken off, the Innings are
torn out, and what remains OF the faorlc
is ground by machinery into "devil's-
dust" This is the first step in what
may be called the resurrection'in old
clothes. When a coat wi not so much
as hang together to dress up scare
crow, it will still make down into very
] GOOD shoddy, as the devil's-dust is po-
Htely named. The meaning of this is
that the garment is torn up by toothed
wheels into a condition of loose fibers,
which, on being properly sifted, are
mixed with fresh wool, carded, spun
and woven into cloth. This is a tri-
umph of art. The shoddy is incor-
porated into what appears to be ex-
ceedingly beautiful cloth, and is again
proudly exhibited as Sunday clothes on
the backs of thousands of wearers.
