Mormonism in the South.

1t is creditable to our American civili-
zation that, notwithstanding the tolera-
ton with which the Mormons have been
treated, the followers of Brigham Young
have thus far been compelled to seek
converts to their peculiar doctrines
among the older nationalities of Europe.
England has been the great Mormon re-
cruiting ground and latterly Denmark
and Sweden. During the last few years,
however, the Saints, we regret to say,
have found a good deal of encourage.
ment in some OF the Southern States, es.
pecially in Georgia and Tennessee. In
Lawrence county in the latter State
Mormon missionaries have been atwork
for more than a twelve month. and their
efforts have been. unfortunately, 30 sue
cessful that twenty of It's citizens recent
ly Joined the Church of the Latter Day
Saints They have just left for Utah,
where they will no doubt be admitted TO
all the rights and privileges of the elect.
One of the converts in question is de-
scrbed as handsome young married
woman, whose husband, however. did
not accompany her. Lawrence county,
it is to be hoped, will not find many imi-
tators in the South. 1t is almost in
credible that at the present time Nor.
monism should be able to recruit it's
ranks in any portion Of the coontry, but
it seems there are q few places into
which the light ofcivilization has not yet
penetrated.-N. Y. Herald q &

Occupation for. Children.

The habits Of children prove that oc-
cnpation is; necessity with most OF
them. They, love to be busy, even about
nothing; still more to be, usefully en-
ployed. With some children 1t is q
rongly-developed physical necessity,
and, if not turned to good account, will
be productive OF positive evil; thus YER
flying the old adage, that "Idleness is
the mother OF mischief" Children
should be encouraged, or, If indolently
disinclined TO do il, should be disciplin-
ed into performing for themselves every
little Office relative to the toilet which
they are capable Of performing, They
should alec keep their own clothes and
other possessions In neat order, and fetch
for themselves whatever they want in
short, they should learn to be as inde-
pendent of the services Of others as pos
sible, fitting them alike to make good
use Of prosperity, and to meet with for
titude any reverse OF fortune that may
befall them. We know OF no rank, how.
ever exalted, in which such system
would not prove beneficial. sas .aHt

Checking Horses. Z

Now, in moment~ you will see him

for relief he continues all the. day long,
When you take off the check, be will

Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-04-24
A QUESTION TO BE SETTLED.

Public opinion in Sacramento appears to
be almost unanimous in favor of the adop-
ton OF the levee policy suggested by the
RECORD UNION. 1t is not necessary to
discuss the question whether much or little
of the apprehension felt during seasons of
high water is due to ignorance of the
present condition of our defenses. The
main consideration is that the future of
the city depends largely upon the removal
of all ground for uneasiness. There can
be no doubt as to the fact that fears of
food have hitherto checked the growth of
the city. 1t is admitted by everybody
that if no such fears had been possible it
would have attracted great many people
who have been withheld from settling here
But this drawback is not an insurmount-
able one. On the contrary, it can be sur
mounted without entailing any fresh
burdens upon the city, and that in so
thorough way that in short time
there will be no more thought
of danger from high water here
than there is in San Francisco. To do
this our levees must be raised and
brosdened and protected by riprapping OF
other engineering devices, in such a man.
ner that they cannot be endangered We
are assured by some citizens who have had
much experience that the levees are now
quite strong enough. With that opinion
we are, however, obliged to disagree.
They may be quite strong enough to resist
any ordinary food, but in order to make
them serve their full purpose they must be
strong enough to remove the fears of the
ignorant and the timid. We understand
that there is considerable sum available
for their improvement this year. If that
is so the general plan of improvement to
be pursued should be decided upon before
any of the money is expended, and then
the whole of it should be applied
towards the carrying out of this general
system. 1t must be evident by this time
that nothing short of such a policy will
