Cannot be smoothed over.

Among the early accounts of the
wreck of the Metropolis it was
stated that one of the contrac-
tors who chartered this same YES
sci. decided only just before she
sailed that none of his family OF rel
atives should embark in her. We
have not since seen this anywhere
denied. On the contrary, it has
been confirmed by a Philadelphia
correspondent of one of our cotem-
poraries, who, while admitting its
truth, pleads in extenuation the
great pains taken by the contractors
to satisfy themselves that the vessel
was seaworthy. This argument is
all in vain. The fact that a man is
unwilling to trust what is most dear
to him in a ship is evidence that he
believes her unsafe, which is not
by any means overcome by his will
ingness to let hundreds of others
take their chances on her. We have
only to say that he who thinks YES
sci safe enough for two or three
hundred laborers, that is not safe
enough for his own family, has no
place in American society.
The testimony Of experts to the
seaworthiness of lhe Metropolis is
as abundant as it usually is in such
cases. Experts certified that the
Colorado giant, made of Portland
cement, was a genuine human pet
rifcation, just as experts proved that
the Taritfville bridge. through
which train had broken, was so
strong that no train could possibly
break through it.
The purser of the Metropolis. who
appears to have been quite cool and
self possessed throughout the catas-
tropne. says on the other hand that
"the vessel was rotten. She was
washed ashore in splintcrs, small
enough for kindling wood. pick
ed up two pieces to verify my state
ment. 1t is like rotten punk, or an
old stump that has been decaying
fifty years"
These are terrible facts, and in
view of them, If the statement is
true that one of the contractors fear
ed to trust any one of his own peo-
pie on the vessel, it is q circum-
stance that cannot be smoothed over.

Piazzi Smyth, the astronomer
royal for Scotland, is the leading
expounder and advocate of the
new Interpretation, and his name
lends great weight to the views
he has adopted, which are shar-
ed by many others. 1t seems
that the great pyramid, on being
subjected to rigid scientific ex-
animation, without and within,
yields great number and vari-
ETY. Of facts, measurements, and
other qualities, which, to say the
least, are slngularly coincident-
al with other facts, measures and
qualities relating to religious
history and other departments Of
knowledge, IN a way to suggest,
if it does not prove, how the
structure may OR must have been
planned by some mind CONVEX
SAINT with things to come; SO
leading to the conclusion that
the architect was God himself,
who inspired its details as he
did those of the ark, the taberna-
Gle, and the temple, and sealed
up in its dumb stones and strange
passages and chambers an attes-
tation of the other revelation
He was to give the world in the
written Book.

In Mississippi a patent has been
obtained for q method of collecting
taxes upon drinks, which is far bet
ter than the Moffet or Clarke regis
ter. Books of coupons are sold by
the State Auditor to al; liquor deal
ers. When a drink is sold the con-
sumner receives coupon, which en-
titles him to receive from the State,
in payment of his taxes, one cent.
If two drinks are to be paid for he
receives an orange-colored coupon
good for two cents. If five drinks,
blue paper. good for five cents.
Not only does the State enjoy an in
come from the tax on drinks, but
the consumer has a reasonable
chance of paying off his taxes with
the orange and blue coupons. The
saloons are crowded at all times with
men making out their taxes.

showing the character Of the judge and
of the prosecuting officers, and giving
sketches of special witnesses and jury
men. He insists that the suit of Louis
lana VS.. J. Madison Wells ct al. ought
to be called the case OF Samuel J. Til
den VS.. Rutherford 3. Hayes, and that
i, is really contest for the Office Of
president of the United States and the
patronage of the federal government.
He alleges that money was sent from
New York to help forward the prosecu>
ton of the returning board; that Mach
iavelian, David Dudley Field. stands
behind the scenes managing the pups
pets, and that nearly all concerned on
the Democratic side are stained with
crimes of one sort or another, including
treason. murder. larceny. perjury. libel,
etc. More specifically Mr.. Wells re>
views Sherman's charges against Judge
Whitaker. and shows the animus which
he displayed on the trial of Anderson,
and declares that during the greater
part of that trial he was in beastly
state of intoxication. He charges the
attorney general with having speculated
with the collection of taxes; with being
cognizart of the packing of the jury in
Anderson's case with bullying and
threatening witnesses before the grand
jury in order to force indictments
against members of the returning board
and with keeping Littlefeld concealed
in his own room lest he should repeats
the testimony in which he declared An
derson to be innocent of all knowledge
of the Vernon parish returns. The
assistant attorney general is said to have
been indicted for murder In his own
parish. One of the chief witnesses
against Anderson is stamped as ha-
bitual liar. another as thief and a
third as fugitive from his native town
in Illinois,

For every week lost in strike
a certain numb Der Of weeks work
at the higher wages struck for
is required IN order to avoid pos
tive loss to the workmen. Thus
in the case of a strike of six
months duration for an advance
of ten per cent. in wages, five
years labor at the higher rate
will be required. to make up the
positive loss incurred in the
strike.

A poor woman lay very ill in her
scantily furnished home in Sheffield,
England. The Doctor was sent for
and came. He at once saw that hers
was very grave case, and that she
had, as he thought, littls chance of
recovery even if she could get the
nourishment her illness required.
AS he was about to leave, the ques-
tion was put When should we send
for You again, Doctor?" well" was
the reply, as he looked at the poor
woman and then at her wretched
surroundings, I don't think you
need send for me again. She can
not possibly get better; and to save
you further trouble, I'll just write
You out certificate for her burial" )"
and he did. After the Doctor de-
parted the woman got better rapidly.
She has now completely recovered,
and goes about carrying her burial
certificate with her. At least so
says the Sheffield Telegraph.
The body Of Victor Emanuel was immersed
for twelve hours in a strong solution OF corrosive

Brigham in the Harenn.

Hc IOpIiet IoSo early, UToSo-
ed and shaved every morning,
and then assembled his wives
and children for prayer. After
singing and prayer they went to
breakfast, which was served in a
large hall. Brigham sat at the
head of the table and Lucy
Decker at the foot and poured
out the coffee. The children
had side tables, and their moth
ers could eat with them if they
wished, 1t was to all appear
ances a happy family and as
we'll behaved, polite and manner
ly as any in the land. What
ever heartburnings there were
or jealousies the woman kept
them to themselves, and not
even the boldest dared show her
temper at the table before the
Prophet, whom they all looked
up to as a god. OF late years
Brigham did not eat with his
wives, his breakfast being SIM
ply a bowl Of bread and milk.
On rising each lady put her room
in order, making up the bed and
sweeping. After breakfast the
women walked out, sang, played
the piano or sewed. Several Of
them embroidered beautifully,
made colered cloth and were
very proud of their handiwork.
The prophet kept several car
riages, and the ladies could go
shopping or driving whenever
they pleased. In the evening
all went to the theater, where
Brigham's wives and children
had reserved seats. 1t Is said
the prophet was very liberal and
gave his wives plenty of pin mon
ey. They had a dancing mas
ter, a French teacher and an in
structor in music. During his
latter years Young endeavored
to give each of his favoritc wives
a cottage and 81 900 per year in
pin money. 1t is said he offer
ed a cottage and 1000 per an
pum to any good looking young
lady who would marry him. In
this world he had as good time
as any fellow could we'll have,
and now he has gone to Heaven
to be a king in the New Jerusa-
lem.
