WHAT MORMANISM IS.
New York Tribune.

The Mormon theology, as expanded by
Joseph Smith and perfected by Brigham
Young, is fantastic compound of doc
trlnes and practices borrowed from al
most every form of religion the world
has known. Mr.. J. H. Beadle, long a
resident OF Utah, in book on the Nor
mons, published some years ago, says :
"They are christians in their belief in the
New Testament and the mission of Christ:
Jews IN their temporal theocracy, tithne,
and belief in prophecy; MOhammcdans
in regard to the relations of the sexes,
and Vondoos or Fetichists in their witch
craft, good and evil spirits, faith DOCTOR
ing and superstition. From the Budd-
nists they have stolen their doctrines of
apotheosis and development of gods :;
from the Greek mythology, their loves
Of the immortals and spirits. They
have blended the ideas of many nations
Of polytheists; and made the whole con-
sistent by Outdoing the materiailst."
The active conflict going on between the
various christian sccts at the time of
Joseph Smith proclaimed q new revela-
ton, seems to have led to his borrowing
a variety of controverted doctrines from
sources Immediately at hand. Thus the
Mormon theology takes from the Metllo-
lists their "witness of the Spirit" from
the Disciples their "first principles
from the Presbyterians their universal
suffrage" from the Second Adventists
their belief in the speedy coming of
Chirst's kingdom, and from the Catho-
lies their doctrine of an infallible head of
the church. In their faith that only a
small portion of mankind will fail Of ul-
innate salvation the MormOns are almost
Universalists, and in their idea of the
nature of Christ they might be called
Unitarians- Their notion that unseen
powers produce physical manifestations
on earth brings them in accord with
modern spiritualists, and their belief in
evil spirits allies them with the ancient
Munichpans.

ABOUT BEES.

The baby-bee destined only for work
finds herself, on emerging from her egg,
an 'inh abitant of one of those common
siX-sided cells which appears so proper
toned lis in some measure to limit her
growth, and thus prevents her from at
tanning her full development. TO this
outward restriction is superatl,lcd an in
ward check in the quality of the food
administered by her lurses. Instead of
the royal yclly,' that stimulating and
nuti icious extract prepared only tor the
queen, her infancy is supported on the
simple fare of bee bread, which, while it
S,,tliccs to bring to maturity every useful
endowment of activity, affords no food
for the development Of the sensual and
vindirtivc passions, and with all these
smothercd in the cradle. our work comes

class in the bee community; out OF

sacrce. They are helpless, having no
stings, and fall quickly under those OF
the busy work ers. 1t is not always that
recurrence is had to this mode of de-
struction. From July to September,
when tho drones are weakly, they won,

strength they are harassed by the ork-
ers, who worry and sometimes sting them.
If they do not take these warnings and

are killed and thrown out of the hive

A SAD STORY.

married. in New Orleans
Thursday, June 7, 1877. at
$50 P. NJ, James NJ. Walpole !;
and Monnie NJ, daughter of
the late George W. Prichard.
:Died, June 7, 1877, at
$50 P. NJ, Monnie NJ, wife of
James M. Walpole.'
The above, from a New
Orleans paper, is the simple
announcement Of one Of the
sorrowfulest stories it ever
falls to mortal pen to recount.
Monnie M. Pritchard, Of Now
Orleans, was a beautiful, gen
tie, very intelligent girl. She
was a cousin of Mr.. William
McAlpin, of Cincinnati, and
some time ago visited Cincin-
natl and the North for The
first time. Her visit of d few
weeks in Cincinnati stretched
itself out to many months, be-
fore she left finally for her
Southern home.
She naturally had many
friends and admirers. Mr.
James M. Walpole, city edl>
tor of the New Orleans Plea
YUNE. had been devoted t.
her for four years, and at
length, on the ninteenth of
June, they we're to have heen
married. Before the happy
day came Miss Pritchard was
strickeped with sudden. fatal
sickness. Thursday, June 7,
it became plain that the low
ly girl could not tarry long
among the living. They told
her SO, and sent for her bet
hrothed, and asked to be
married to him before she
died.
YES" said Mr.. Walpolc,
''if she is to die, I want her to
die my wife,"
The solemn marriage cere-
mon was performed hurr;edly
and sadly, while the gentle
soul was even then passing in
TO eternity. Three hours at
ter she was dead. and MIR.
Walpole, tour years Il lover,
three hours a husband and
now a widower has only he,
sweet remembrance left him.
