on the Pacific coast and the cunning fellow avails himself a law passed for his worriment to evade it's payment.
 The declaration of Senator Wallace that the Democrats are going to give formal pub lie notice that they will not disturb Union soldiers who hold office must be looked at in the light of what they have done to be right ly appreciated. AS will be remembered, the moment the Democrats gained control of the House they began to kick Union soldiers out and invite rebel soldiers in. When the Sen ate was secured by the Democrats, Union sol diers were hustled out with less ceremony than was observed by the House, as the lat ter body, being little nearer the people and some of it's members still fearing the war Democrats of their party, purged the rolls of loyal soldiers slowly. The Senate Demo- crats, too, did this after full talk in caucus, and Senator Wallace was chairman of the caucus. In view of these facts Senator Wal lace's declaration is decidedly funny
 A painful occurrence in Beverly, Mass, re- gently, has caused a deep sensation and is likely to affect severely the trade of dry goods store, whose proprietors, by nasty ac- tion, drove a young girl to death. Miss Carrie Odell, said to be girl of irreproach- able character and connection, went into the store, and while waiting for clerk, as she alleged took up & shawl to inspect it by the light. The shopkeepers, assuming that she intended to steal the garment, caused her ar kI-a her true character was ascertained and she was released. But the shame and mortified ton were too much for the mind of the young woman She became distracted, and Satur- day night she left home and was sought in vain. Sunday her dead body was found near one of the wharves. The tradesmen allege that they had sufficient reason for their &C., tion in the matter. but the tragic ending of the affair will doubtless discourage trade in their store for some time, especially for girls who have no one at hand to vouch for their responsibility.
 Dora Young, the favorite daughter of the late Brigham, has had enough of Mormonism and the Mormons, and has therefore aban- doned Salt Lake forever, and intends to make her home permanently in the East. She is intensely opposed to the practice of polyg- amy and says that among many of the Mor- mon women there is the greatest anxiety for the enforcement of the law against it, and they are doing all they can to oppose the ad- mission of Utah to the Union until polygamy is abolished. She says, however, that the law, as at present framed, is a practical null Ely. Unless polygamous marriage ceremo- ny can be proved within two years nothing can be done with the offenders. One of the first things that began to shake her faith in the Mormon church was the fact that she heard several Mormon elders take oath that they knew nothing of any marriage ceremo- nies being performed, when that very day fourteen such ceremonies had taken place in the Endowment house. She adds 'I now sometimes ask myself, since my eyes have been opened, how I could possibly ever have regarded the horrible and licentious practices of which I was aware, and the terrible things which I have witnessed, with anything but horror And yet I was raised to consider these things all right, and thought nothing about them-just as I suppose children who are raised where human sacrifices are offered learn to regard such sacrifices as right, and to look on them with indifference"
