PRESIDENT Buchanan tried his hand
with small army in Utah. President
Hayes has tried courtesy and moral
suasion, and the presidents between
have devoted more or less attention to
this "twin relic of barbarism." They
have all been failures. The time has
come to tackle the monster and end
this disgraceful exhibit of polygamy.
If congress would expell the delegate
from Utah because of his criminal
practices, abolish the territorial organ
ization because of its plain violation of
all law, sacred and profane, as interpret
ed by every other state and territory,
the crimes against decency migkt be
redressed and the wrong arrested. The
arm that arrests must have nerve, and
strike quick and hard; every year in
creaseS tn" danger and multiplies the
wrongs

How he was Caught.

The Rev. jeremiah White, domestic
chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, had the
ambition to aspire to the hand of the
Lady Frances, CromwelPs youngest
daughter. The Protector was infor-
med of it, and having no inclination
for such an alliance, was so much con-
cerncd that he ordered the person who
told him to keep strict lookout
promising if he could give him any
substantial proofs he should be well re-
warded, and White severely punished.
The spy followed his business so
closely that in a little time he dogged
Jerry White-as he was generally
called-to the lady's chamb Der, and ran
Immediately to acquaint toe Protector
Oliver, in rage, hastened to the
chamber, and going quickly in found
Jerry on his knees, kissing his daugh-
ter's hand. Cromwell, in a fury, asked
what it meant White, with great deal
of presence Of mind, said:
" May it please your highness, | have
a long time courted that young gentle
woman there, my lady's woman, and
cannot prevail. [ was, therefore, hum
bly, praying her ladyship to intercede
for me-"
oliver, turning to the girl, cried
What's the meaning of this, hussy?
Why do you refuse the honor Mr..
White would do you? Heis my friend,
and [ expect you to treat him as
SUCH"
My lady's woman, who desired moth
ing better, with a very low curtsey
replied:
IfMr. White intends me that honor,
l shall not be against him."
Sayest thou so, my lass?" cried
Cromwell. " Call Goodwin lone of the
preachers); this business shall be done
presently, before go out of the room" "
The Rev. Jerry had gone too far to
recede from his proposal; his brother
parson came, and Jerry and my lady
maid were married in the presence OF
the Protector, who gave the bride sou
as portion, to the secret disappoint-
ment and Indignation of the enraged
dupe of his own making, but to the
entire satisfaction of the fair Abigail
who obtained husband much above
her most sanguine hope or pretenslons
After the Restoration, White remained
quiescent. He died in 1907, aged
seventy-eight. When the story Of his
marriage was mentioned before Mrs
White Iwho survived her husband) she
always simpered her assent to it
truth.

IHE severe cold snap experienced
early last week reached the New Eng
land states and the south during the
closing days of the old year and the
beginning of the new. In Virginia the
weather was phenominally cold. aston
ishing even the oldest inhabitant"
with its untoward severity. The lowest
point reported from that state was at
Riyerton, in Warrenton, where, on Fri
day morning the mercury marked so
degrees below zero. Along the Hud-
son river, in New York, the mercury
ranged on New Years all the way from
II degrees to 80 degrees below, and IN
the towns on either side of the Green
Mountains, in New England, the mer-
curry persisted in resting in the 20s and
GUS below the single cipher. From the
report of the signal service it is quite
probable that we have not fully escap-
ed from the frost kings icy lash, and
another infiiction of polar torture may
be confidently expected.

SEVERAL prominent Chicago clergy
men have been interviewed in regard
to Sarah Bernhardt. They do not
consider it their mission 10 attack a
woman of whom they know nothing
save what rumor says, and they have
no intention of denouncing her from
the pulpit, as their brethren in other
cities have done. Most Of them dis
countenance the theater as opposed to
morality and religion, and they do so

near the house. Search was made. and
the silver was discovered under pile of
rubbish. The oferder escaped.
