The Mormons have been very active
Of late in their efforts to gain prose
lytes, not only sending their emigrants
to foreign countries, but boldly estab-
fishing missionary stations in Georgia.
This has aroused considerable indig-
nation in that State and the Legisla-
ture is now seriously discussing bill
now pending to punish Mormon mis-
sionaries for attempting to propagate
their faith in that State. Opponents
of the measure argue that as Mormons
do not practice polygamy in Georgia
the bill amounts to interfering with
religious preferences. 1t is said
however, that some sort Of bill will
probably pass, as the feeling against
the Mormons grows intenser every
day. A new lot of missionaries has
just arrived, and are said to be making
many converts in North Georgia.
These people should be forced to con-
fine their religious practices and
teachings to their own territory,
which in climate and productions is
one of the most desirable portions oil
this country. In mineral wealth Utah
is the richest Territory in the Union.
She has as much coal as Pennsylvania
and as much gold and silver as Colo

Patti will endeavor to renew her
youth at Carlsbad before coming to
America. That little resort in Bo.
liemia is credited with wonderful
rejuvenating powers. One enthusiastic
writer tellsI of wealthy Californian
who visits tie place regularly every
few years. On arriving he is twisted
and MANNED with goutand rheumatism
carried to his lodgings by his valet
and never seen to move about until
his third or fourth week, when, 10, he
appears as lusty as in youth, with eyes
bright, complexion clarified, and all
his joints and sinews as vigorous as in
the early mining days, when be did

scribe a particular one for every

CAPTAIN HOwgate was before U.
S. Commissioner Bundy, yesterday, on
the charge of embezzlement preferred
in ali affidavit by Ganeral Hazen. He
was very pale and feeble from recent
illness. His counsel asked the court
to waive examination and fix bail at a
reasonable amount. The court fixed
bail at $4,000. This the prisoner
will try to furnish, but if he cannot dc
so he will ask for an immediate trial
Meanwhile he will be permitted t.

The Strange FuInIment or a
Dream.

trOm the Hartford Iimes.l
A few days ago and aged German,
living on Market street, left his vest
in the store of his employer for short
time. When he returned he found
that two watches, one of gold and one
of silver, had been stolen from the
vest. Now comes the most singular
part of the story. The old man q
night or two ago dreamed he raw the
watches covered with straw in a cor
ner of the yard adjoining the house
where he slept. The next morning he
told his dream and was laughed at by
all the household except the woman
head of the family. She advised him
to 60 and look over the place desig-
mated in his dream. He did so, and
in few minutes his cries of joy
brought forth all of the household.
He had, by poking in the straw in the
spot designated, found the watch and
was almost overcome. A few minutes
further search brought to light the
other watch and the chains. Now
the old man reioices, and is a firm be-
lever in dreams.

Since Dean Stanley died story he
often told of Carlyle has been recalled
by many who heard him tell it. Some
years ago when the Queen was at
Windsor she said to Lady Augusta
Stanley that she would like TO meet,
in a way that would not be ceremo.

and soon afterward the day was fixed.
The guests we're to be seven in number
two them TO be ladies, and in all were
as follows: Sir Charles and Lady
Lyell, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Grote, Rob
ert Browning, Charles Dickens and Mr..
Carlyle. Her Majesty had before met
them all except Carlyle. Him she had
9ftel Fead aud appreciated, aud her
interest chiefly cehtered in him. She
started as the subject of conversation
the probable future Of the second
French Empire subject on which
Carlyle was greatly at home, for in
these days he was predicting, with sin
gular clearless Of vision, how the
whole Hapoleolic drama would be
eKtinguisled in fame and smoke from
beneath the stage on which it was
acted. Both we're standing when the
talk began, and as be warned with
his subject the Queen still remained
on her feet. He desired greatly to sit
down was. in fact. weary. and finally
said To her; IF your Majesty would
be seated We could carry on Ebe dis
cpsslon with more ease" OF course,
she bad never realized his fatigue, but

The Bolivar Bulletin of the 18t

says
Our Chaneellors and Circuit Judges
are the best paid men in the State They
get $500 for three months service. In
other words, they are occupied with their
courts about three month"; in the year.
By enlarging their circuits and reducing
the number Of judges all this could be
remedied.
There could no doubt be reduc-
ton of the number of judges in the
State without injury to the rights and
interests Of the people, but it should
not be done suddenly, or as a mere
pretense of reform. We have had toe
much humbug legislation by mex
perienced representatives already.
These legislators are seldom returned,
but their acts live after them, often az
monuments of ignorance and stupidity.
1t is a serious matter to tamper with
the Judicial system of the State, yet
there is no denying the fact that VIC
have rather cumbrous and expen'
siVe system, which might be consider
ably improved. When this is done,
let it also be provided in the eonstitu-
tion that the legislature shall meet
only once ia four years, unless in extra
session, for some important purpose,
such for instance as the electing Of a
United States. Our laws are tinkered
at SO often, that it is impossible fol
the people to keep up with what has
been done, and even the lawyers often
fall behind. A few substantial re.
forms in the organic and statutory Law
will answer every practical require.
