1.-THE TWIN BARBARIsM.'

The Republican party, through its conven- tion at Chicago are declared against polygamy, and the Democratic party will probably make a similar declaration at Cincinnati But that any serious attack upon the ''twin barbar- ism' and gigantic evil" will be made by the next administration, whether Republican or Democratic may well be doubted. The peo- pie of this country are opposed to the prac- tice of polygamy, but it is for the most part mild opposition. When they really wake up on the subject polygamy will have to go, but the signs of such an arousing are not at present very abundant or very promising.
 While resolutions against polygamy are being passed, and occasional howls of in dignation uttered, the Mormons are busy strengthening themselves. Notwithstanding Secretary Evarts' anti-Mormon circular of last year, the movement towards this country of Mormon proselytes is more active than ever. Early this season the Church authori- ties sent abroad forty more missionaries. There are now in England, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland and Holland about one hundred propagandists of the Mormon faith, who have left Utah for the sole pur- pose of making converts in Europe. They are assisted by several hundred local elders, who are commissioned such in every com munity where the Mormon interest gains the slightest foothold. The Mormon mission aries were not formerly much in the hab- it of instructing their converts in the doctrine of polygamy until they reached Utah, but recently they have begun to explain and justify polygamy in their preaching and in tracts, which are free 1y distributed. This bo1dness has got a few of the Scandinavian missionaries into diff eulty, and they have been locked up iI jail a few days and then dismissed with the warn ing not to preach forbidden practices. For the most part, however, they have been un- molested, the authorities allowing them the utmost license of speech so long as they vio- late no law. As a result of the efforts of Mormon missionaries in Europe parties in- cluding about 2,500 persons are now pre- pairing to emigrate to Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Montana.
 The Mormon Church is seeking converts also in the Southern States with considerable success. Twenty missionaries are now at work in that field and it is announced on good Mormon authority that the recruits this season will be numerous. In St. Louis and New Orleans there are quite a number of resident converts to the Mormon faith, but most of the proselytes go to the new Mormon settlements in the West.
 The activity of the polygamists ought to stir up the anti -polygamists to do something mora than naSs resolutions The 1oDper tthe Mormon problem is left unsolved the hard CT will it's solution be. It is high time that it was boldly and consistently attacked.

From MT. Richard Case, of Canton
 Conn.

For the past twenty years I was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life misery. would wake up at night with sense Of suf- location, as though some one was strangling me, expecting every moment to be my last. My suffering was so severe that I was afraid to go to bed, and often did not dare to. Ten years ago my hearing became also impaired from the effects of catarrh and gradually grew so bad that of late it was quite difficult for me to hear. Two months ago I placed myself under Dr. Lighthilrs care, and the re- suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full. The trouble in my throat is completely removed, sleep and breathe as comfortably as a baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much i'm proved that I feel like a new man. In fact such change for the better has been wrought in my case that thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing Dr. LighthiI to Hartford and for directing me to him. I am 64 years of age and have lived in Hartford county nearly all my life, and if the blessings and prayers of an old man are of any avail, the happiness and pros perity of Dr. Lighthin is assured.

From the Rev. D. J. Clark.

Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 It affords me great pleasure to addsmy tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthill's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efcial that cheerful1y recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lishthill per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hav- ing at their command the services of physi- clan so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

From Col. ID. A. Rood,
Proprietor of the United States Hotel, Hartford, Conn.

k4artfOrd, conn.,
 Hartford, Feb. II, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthill:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and sense of duty to the public, I take this method of expressing my grateful appreciation of the able and skillful manner in which you treated my wife for Catarrh. When placed her under your professional she suffered so severely that she could scarcely obtain any rest at night, but your first application afforded decided relief and your subsequent treatment has proved per feet success. In the course of my experience have seen good deal of physicians and medical practice, but I must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet come under my ob- servation, and in fact is so rational and effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

The London Lancet is making bold fight for seats for girls who attend in stores; and, in order to hasten the work and give prac- tical shape to it's agitation, it declares it's in tention to publish lists of the names of those houses which at once furnish seats. These lists will be given to physicians, who vii show them in their families, the ladies of which will be asked not to trade at stores that, for want of seats, are ''cruel to women ]" When this is done we shall probably see 8 great outburst of womanly sympathy.

A writer in the New York Cotton believes that Florida jute is destined to become one of the most valuable productions of that State. Among others whose attention has been called to this article the writer mentions the name of an Enghshman, MT. Macalister.
 This gentleman, who for many years has raised and manufactured jute in British h.
 dia, has recently been in Florida and pro- nounces the jute in that State equal if not superior to that grown in India. He says the Florida jute is dark and it's length, strength and tenacity are wonderful, excellently suited not only to the manufacture of bagging, but also to the manufacture of all sorts of rope and cordage.

To personal friend who called upon him in Washington and asked him whether the report was true that he contemplated making some statement with reference to them, he is said to have replied in the most emphatic manner that he should not do any such thing; that these charges had all been answered years ago, and he should pay no attention whatever to them now

There was u donation visit OF the AZ.
E. Parsonage, st. Johnsbury, the even
ing of the 18th, for the benefit OF the
Minister'S folks. The house was crowd
ed, and we judge by the cordial greet
ings and happy faces that the guests
were enjoying something, extremely
well. A great surprise had been
prepared for the pastor. Friends out
side the society over which he presides,
in appreciation of his temperance work
had made up apurse to present on the
occasion. About half-past eight a
considerable body of men filed in.
The presentation speech was made by
Elisha May Esq, and was very hand
somely done. The purse was presented
in behalf of many friends of all re-
igious and political crGeds, and being
opened it was found to contain seventy
dollars in gold and six dollars ia silver
coin. Frank Brown was there, and
had prepared little joke On his own
account. Stepping to the front, in o
very neat speech he alluded ITO the
work recently wrought, and to the fact
that many had endeavored to "corlI
up the facts, and concluded by pre-
senting Bro. Locke with little brown
| jug well corked up, about 2 inches
high as representation of the st.
Johnsbury liquor agency in its present
proportions. His effort brought down
the house." The church also came
prepared to donate in their behalf
Bro. A. NJ. Dickey in very happy
speech alluded to the good will and
christian fellowship that prevails in
the church, assuring Bro. Locke that
he ministers to q united church and
a united congregation, and concluded
by presenting $50 rs q testimonial Of
their regard. 1t was joyful occasion
to the pastor and his family, and il
joyful faces are an index of the emo
lions Of the heart, we judge many felt
that SIT is more blessed to give than
to receive" Including several gifts
previously made, Bro. Lockc's donation
amounts to $3.50. God bless the givers
