1t is estimated that the state
of Illinois lost last year 1,444,-
269 hogs of hog cholera, the
value Of which is put down at
$4,496,O00.

Last year the mines of Neva-
da produced nearly S2O,OOO,OoO
in gold, and over S2S,OOO,OOO in
silver, over hall of the total
yield of all the mines in the
country. California is next to
Nevada as a gold-producing
state.
The national grange, Patrons

By the law of 1874, national
banks are required to keep 5
per cent. Of their circulation in

reserve of gold unnecessary.

The Mormon women Of Utah
are combating the views of the
address lately sent to Mrs. Hayes
by their anti-Mormon sisters.
They claim that their Gentle
sisters don't know what they
are talking about; but as the
only means the latter have Of
further informing themselves
upon the subject is to partici-
pate in the crime which they op-
pose, they will doubtless prefer
to remain in blissful ignorance,
and eight it out on that line"
An exchange relates that a
poor Irishman at Rochester
owed rich man some money
and was unable to pay. The
rich man obtained a judgment
and an execution, but there was
nothing on which the sheriff
could levy. The debtor had
two large pigs, but the law al
lows a man two, and the sheriff
could not take them. The rich
man then bought two little pigs,
had them presented to the poor
man and thereupon took his
two large ones.
DR.. Bodington urges, in a late
address, "The confusion between
Drunkenness as a disease and
drunkenness as a vice, must be
cleared up. For my part, l look
upon all habitual drunkenness
as disease, and I would boldly
call it dipsomania. 1t is in its
character as a disease that we
physicians are entitled to deal
with it. Iwould sink the notion
of it's being a mere vicious pro
pensity. When fully developed
there are not two kinds of habit
aal drunkenness. The cases
are, one and all cases of dipso-
mania, of irresistible, uncon-
trolable morbid desire to drink
stimulents.
Secretary Sherman, in his late
annual report, confesses that

ANTI.POLIGAMY.

LdhO Nv
To Mrs. R. B. HAYES AND THE
WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES:
It is more than thirty years
since poligamy was planted on
the shores of the Great Salt
Lake. During these years con-
gress has utterly failed to enact
efficient or enforce existing laws
for the abolition of this great
crime, and we believe that more
of these unlawful and unhallow-
ed alliances have been consum-
mated during the pastyear than
ever before in the history Of the
Mormon church. Endowment
houses under the name of tenn
pies are being erected in differ
ent parts of the country, costing
millions. 1t is impossible to
ascertain the exact number OF
poligamous marriages, for they
are consecrated in these endow-
ment houses-an institution no
Gentle is permitted to enter
where brotherhood and sister
hood are sealed and bound by
oaths so strong that even apos-
tates will not reveal them, and
to mention which witnesses on
the witness stand unblushingly
perjure themselves, and on the
Jury of late all considerations
of oath and duty are disregard
ed. Considering all our sur
roundings, poligamy has never
taken such degrading and de-
basing form in any nation or
among any people above the
condition Of barbarians as in
Utah. 1t is degrading to man
or woman, a curse to children
and destruction to the sacred
relation Of family, upon which
the civilization Of nations de-
pends, and there are things that
cannot be printed or repeated
that reduce the system to the
lowest form of indecency. That
it should be practiced in the
name and under the cloak Of re-
ligion, and that an apostle po-
ligamist with four acknowledged
wives is permitted to sit in con-
gress, only adds to the enormity
Of the crime and makes it more
revolving to our common Christ
ian principles. Our legislature
is composed almost entirely of
poligamists and members Of the
Mormon priesthood, and they
have thrown around poligamy
every possible safeguard in their
power. The right Of dover has
been abolished, to break down
the distinction between the law
full wife and concubine. The
Mormons are rapidly extending
their settlements into Arizona,
Idaho, New Mexico and Wyo-
ming. They have the balance
Of power in two territories, and
are without doubt plotting for it
in others. We call upon Christ
ian women of the United States
to join us in urging congress to
empower the courts to arrest
further progress Of this evil, and
to delay the admittance Of Utah
into statehood until this is &C
complished; and we ask you to
circulate and publish our appeal,
in order to arouse the public
sentiment, which should be
against an abomination that Pc
culiarly oppresses and stigma;
tizes women.
1t is our purpose to ask names
to a petition designed for con-
gress, and we hope that every
minister of the gospel will COM
mend it to the women Of his
congregation, and that all Christ
ian associations will do what
they can to obtain signatures.
With the cordial cooperation
and concerted action of the
