which should not be lost sight of by the

number OF members unemployed, The latter to
the number of fifteen or more, accepted Supt,
Jackson's invitation to visit the p p, which
stands for ''pauper palace" Mr.. Arnold, the
warden, and his amiable wife the matron, with
their every day and unyarying politeness showed
the visitors through the institution from base
ment TO attic. The numerous insane inmates
stared al the newcomers with mingled feelings
of sympathy and surprise. Such of them as still
possessed ray Of reason probably wondered how
long this new batch of men had been crazy. But
the members of the board soon made themselves
at home, and speedily began to inquire for this or
that fii,ale boarde,, old flames" perhaps! There
were many happy meetings and sad partings, so
to speak.
Supervisor Donleyy had previously declared
that to the best Of his opinion Supervisor Spiccr
was the best looking man among all the visiting
members Of the board. The correctness of Don
levy's judgment was more than confirmed when
Hannah Goodrich, a gushing sylph of 80 lbs.
weight, got sight OF Spicer. She exploded with
laughter; she shook her fat Sides and wept tears
of joy, and went Off in an earthquake Of outlaws
and squeals, and as Spicer lodged around a cor

had gone OFF in spasm Of inaudible heaving that
shook her into a mountain Of squirning Jelly!

the board. On retiring from that office, the
question arose with him as to who was the prop
err custodian of the sherf's records, himself OF
the incoming sheriff He had taken legal advice
upon the subject, and had thereirom concluded
that the books belonged to him. True the coun.

full record of his official acts. They gave the
history of every paper, writ or process that had
come into his hands in his official capacity He
was daily receiving letters Of inquiry to this

he answer these questions. These books con
tanned the receipts from plaintiffs for hundred,

Brigham Youno's Hypocrisy.

Many intelligent men have concluded
that Brigham was honest in his religi-
Gus professions. cannot agree with
them. I might reject all other evidence
of his hypocrisy, but 1 cannot reject
his own. Again and again he has vir-
tually admitted that his religion was
mere convenience. To young Nor
mon friend of the writer, whom he was
urging to return to the fold, he said:
" 1t makes no difference whether you
believe in it or not we need you just
come along and be baptized, and pay up
a little of your tithing, and it will be
all right" To another he said: Its
no concern what you believe; I've got
as good right to start religion as
Christ or Mohammed, or any other
man." And yet again, when speaking
of the vote Of each semi-annual con-
ference indorsing him as prophet, he
said: 81 am neither prophet, nor
the son of prophet, but have been
profitable to this people," Since then
the Gentiles have usually designated
him 1.-THE Profit" There was time,
I think, when he believed his religion
and worked hard for it but as he rose
in the church he learned more, and be-
came what he describes himself, phil
osophic infidel. A man whose convic-
tion depends largely on his interest,
with happy power of sef-deception,
great deal of cunning, some executive
ability, and behind it all an immense
physical potency, with little mercy or
eonscier 'e to temper it-such, in brief,
is Brigham Young. [Beadle's Western

FOOLISH FIELD.
A Scathing Denunciation of the
Pettifogging Associate
Justice.
And Vindieation Of that Pure and Able
Jurist, Judge Bradley.

New York, Sept. 4.-The Newark
Advertiser, whose editor is personal
friend Of Supreme Judge Bradley, re-
ferring to Justice Fields recent al
legged insinuations that Bradley's origi-
nal opinion was against Hayes title to
the Presidency, says:
Judge Field "nagged'' Judge Brad
ley. During all that trial he worked
in the interest of Tilden with an untir-
ing zeal and entire disregard of the
courtesies of the bench. He haggled
and pumped; he was indecent in his
attempts; doubtless he got all sides of
the argument, every phase of constitu-
tional law, every possibility of what
might be an honest decision, from
Judge Bradley, but he never, in any
moment, pumped SO deep that he found
water. How did Judge Field know there
were especially seventeen carriages
that night at Judge Bradley's door,
and who were their occupantsP Was
that the proper function of Judge
Field? Did he sit on the curbstone
and see who Gamer There was no poll
tician who so persistently and impair
TALLY followed Judge Bradley as Judge
Field himself. Six months have passed
since we have had communication,
direct or indirect, spoken or written,
with Judge Bradley upon this topic,
and then his every word rang with
purity of heart and honesty of purpose.
At that time his waste-basket was
filled with letters threatening assassin
cowardly and Tildenishas man
could write them. He was without
personal motive in the fight. All that
he cared for was the judicial ermine.
Can any person under Heaven tell why
Judge Bradley should have acted other
wise than as he did? He may be con.
strued as controlled by the bias of
political opinion-in other words by
personal opinions Of political motive
and constitutional law. We grant
that he was dealing out the law, and if
he had no opinion he had no right to
pronounce it. He did pronounce it,
and he spoke in solemn certainty. The
is not Judge Bradley's Or
gan. With him as with others we speak
whereof we do know, and we do know
that the Florida question was consid-
cred and held in doubt and looked at
in all its aspects as the crucial problem
Of the controversy, and we are solemnly
inclined to believe that Judge Field
that case with his learned
brethren on the bench with more zeal
than he ever manifested in patent
case. The Field family were supremely
active just then. They are men Of
hopeful temperaments, and it is posi-
BILE that one justice of the Supreme
court, in trying to pump another, got
slightly mistaken. If he did it was his
own fault. His own conduct was un-
becoming judge.

pronounced to induce the Gar to accept
peace without another campaign, on
any terms that Turkey would accept
Though the Russian armies have been
severely checked of late, it is mistake
to suppose her enfeebled or discouraged.
Her great military camp, between the
Gantra and Osma, is still intact. The
desperate assaults of her enemy have
achieved but slight advance at peril
Gus cost. Neither Mehemet Ali nor
Osman Pasha have effected the purpose
for which they struggled so frightfully
during the past fortnight. There are
no signs as yet that Turkey can sweep
the invaders back to the Danube. That
the Turks 40 not expect to effect this is
clear by the order just given to have
the twenty-four outworks designed for
the protection of Adrianople ready be-
fore Winter. The ice king will soon
again become Russia's powerful ally.
She will fight another, and a long, cam
paign before surrendering to terms of
peace that would involve her degrada-
tion to third-class power, if not the
overthrow Of the Russian Empire itself.
She has been surprised by the sudden
awakening of her originally supine foe,
but her resources and will are equal to
the emergency.
London, September "A Russian
official dispatch announces that the
Russians have re-occupied Sukum-
Kalch. The Abschasian coast is now
clear of Turks, and the instruction in
the interior has been suppressed. The
Bucharest army, under Grand Duke
Nicholas, will resume the offensive very
shortly, while the troops under the
Czarowitch will remain on the defen-
sive, confronting Mehemet Ali Pasha.
The Russians are continually receiving
reinforcements, and provisions are be-
ing prepared for the new Russian corps,
numbering 10000 men, now entering
Roumania.
