One of the most forcibls comments upon
the shallow prstentions of polygamy, is the
fact that while Brigham Young left seventeen
wives, his grave is to-day neglected. Not one
of his numerous household have approached
the spot since his burial to bestow single
tribute Of affection upon the mound beneath
which the remains of husband and father
rest forever 1t would seem that while his
wives have no tender recollectons of the dead
which they wish to cherish, the children might
be impelled by flial affection sufficiently
strong to pay some respect to the memory
of departed father No such tribute has
been paid, however, which goes to show that
love founded on commercial consid-
srations and british lust does not outlive the
grave. The man who has lived in poverty all
his life and leaves a single poor woman to shed
tears over his burial place or lay a flower OF
so there ence year, has drank deeper of the
cup of happiness in his life than Brigham
Young with his vast wealth and almost Nh
bounded power. A good many had anticipa-
ted soae sort of row over the spot where the
remains are at present rotting, but it seems
that the deceased was not considered of suff-
cient Importance to be made bone of con
tsntion. The only disturbance which was
ever raised was over his estates.

INJURY TO SrocK the effects
of the late storm the Eureka Leader says:
The storm that prevailed yesterday and
to-day seems to have been general through
out Eastern Nevada, and marks the begin
ming of early and probably severe Winter.
The cattle interest will suffer, and great
mortality must necessarily o.ertake the herds
in this section, more especially if the present
weather should continue. In conversation
with number of stock men from Eureka
and adjoining counties, the fact was stated
that there was absolutely no feed on the
ranges, and that the loss would have been
immense had it not been that majority of
the stock had been driven during the Summer
to other localities east of the Rocky Noun
tains. They derive one consolation from the
outlook, and that is that heavy snowfals for
the next three months insures plenty of grass
and water next year, and it is possible that
the stock interest will revive and regain it's
usual Importance in this section if such
should prove the case.

AN item descriptive of travelling stones

AN item descriptive of GO travelling stones "
appeared in the Enterprise some fifteen years
ago. They were explained to be small pieces
of magnetic iron ore which would roll together
from nle force Of their mutual attraction. In
the Enterprise Dan dc guile states that life
has become burden to him, owing to letters
of inquiry concerning those mysterious stones,
with which he is constantly besieged. He
therefore fully and freely sonfessss that the
whole story was an invention of his youthful
Imagination, and that the marvellous pellets
have no existence in fact.

THR Assistant Postm lster at Pittsfsd, Mas
sachusstts, was in the habit of removing the
cancelled stamps from the letters received at
the Office; and when letters were mailed, he
removed the clean stamps, and put cancelled
stamps on the envelopes. He was caught in
the act of defrauding the Government, and
his prospects Of being sent to the penitsntiary
are good. He ,laims that he received only
twenty five dollars by his petty pifsring, but
it is the aght that he got altogether about three
hundred dollars He lad to commit thirty
three offsnses, any of which would have sent
him to the penitentiary, for every dollar he
made by cheating the Government, and if he
made three hundred dollars by substituting
cancelled stamps for clean ones, psrpetrated
ten thousand two hundred distinct offensss.

Another bad feature of the nation
al bank note system is, that its per-
petuation makes necessary the per-
petuatIon of the public debt, because
bank notes can be secured only by
the bonds of the United States. ANY
reduction of the boads outstanding
trenches on the means of expansion
of the system, while the payment oil
the whole debt would destroy it.
Hence, the Republican party, as the
faithful servant Of the money rover,
has shown no eagerness to reduce the
debt but alacrity to increase it, while
on the other hand the interest of the
people demands in the language OF
the Ohio Democratic platform, ''tha,
the further increase of the bonded
debt in time of peace be stopped, and

Last Saturday while Mr.. J. E. Strom-

shed, a fire broke out burning up the
shed valued at two hundred and fifty
dollars. Ten ton of broom corn, boiler,

one hundred bushels of wheat. The fire
1t is thought, was caused by stepping on
. match, setting fire to the corn blades
which burned readily, soon enveloping
the whole in flames. Mr.. StromQuist
came to this county about two years
