The debris Of Mormonism will cucumber
the land for a generation. The original
Mormon converts were from the most
hardy and virtuous peasantry of Europe;
they came over as rule in middle life,
and Mormonism could not entirely spoil
them. Their children will suffer all the
evil results @ polygamy and suPersti-
tious folly, with none of the restraint
imposed Iby theocracy-all of the evil
and none of the good. There will be a
laxitv of conduct and a general fabbi-
ness of the moral fiber, which will not be
cured till they learn by dire experience
that the way OF the transgressor Is hard.

Death Of a Noted " Medium

Mr.. w. H. II. Davenport, one of the
brothers whose performances as illusion
lists have created for them world wide
reputation, died at the Oxford hotel,
King street, on Sunday morning, from
pulmonary consumption. The brothers
arrived at Sydney three weeks ago from
New Zealand, where they had been Civ
ing a series of performances, but while
there William Davenport broke blood
vessel, and came TO Sydney under the
advice of his medical attendants. He
seemed to be recovering his health after
his -rival here, and was in excellent
spirits, but broke a second blood-vessel
again last Thursday waek, and another
one yesterday morning. This last one
proved fatal. He vas attended here by
DIR. Markey. who, however, with DR..
Halkett, held out no hopes that he
would ever recover, the disease having
taken firm hold upon his system. He
had been suffering from phthisis for some
years. He leaves young widow, having
been married FIVE months ago. His fu-
neral took place yesterday afternoon.
Deceased was native of Buffalo, and
was well known here and throughout the
country as " Spiritual medium" )" whose

Taking Care of the Old Folks.

One further possibility of domestic
evolution remains. The last component
to show itself among the feelings which
hold the family together, the care of
parents by offspring, is the one which has
most room for increase. Absent in
brutes, small among primitive men, con-
siderable among the partially civilized,
and tolerablY strong among the best of
those around US, flial affection is feel
ins that admits of much further growth
which IS needed to make the cycle of
domestic life complete. At present, the
latter days of the old whose married
children live away from them are made
drearv by the lack of those remaining
pleasures to be derived from the constant
society of descendants; but the time will
come when this evil will be met by an
attachment of adults to parents which,
if not as strong as that of aged parents
to children, approaches it in strength.
Further development in this direction
will not, however, occur under social ar
rangements which partially absolve pa
rents from the care of ofspri- g. A
stronger feeling to be displayed by child
for parent in later life must be estab
lished by closer intimacy between pa.
rent and child in early life. No such
higher stage is to be reached by walking
I in the ways followed by the Chinese fol
these two thousand years. We shall not
rise TO it by initiating, even partially

A Curious Use for the Magnet.

A curious instance of the utility of the
magnet is mentioned in the Adelaide
Register of June 18th. A young lady
sat down on settee on which needle
had been carlessly left. 1t pierced her
thigh and totally disappeared in the
flesh. Medical men said it could only be
reached by a large incision, and concluded
to leave it to time in the hope that 1t
might work itself out. The pain, how
ever, became so severe that the young
lady was confined to her bed. so mag
net was suggested, and a powerful one
being procured and applied, in four hours
the needle reached thesurface, raised and
protruded itself through the skin, and
was instantly extracted. 1t had been IN
he flesh three weeks.
