Plans Of POlygamy.

Some idea Of the avowed designs Of
the Mormon Government may be formed
from the following public statements by
their Bishop, Lunt:
"Our Chrrch has been organized only
fifty years, aud yet behold its wealth
and powcrl This is our year Of jubilee.
We look forward with perfect confidence
to the day when we will hold the rcins

we expect to control this continent. We
do not care for the territorial officials

nohodlcs here. We do not recognize
them. Nor DO we fear any practical

A retired manufacturer, ono of th,
practical sort Of men, who had more Of
the love OF display than aesthetic taste to
properly sustain 1t, strolled into the
studio OF n New Haven artist few years
ago, and after examining some Of tho
paintings, thrust his thumb into the arm

said to the artist.
"AhemI ] have thought for sometime

"What | should like would be picture
representing child at prayer, with an
angel lowering over it, and view Of
heaven in the distance. Could you
paint II picture like that?'
"Y-e-es, think so, was the rejoinder.
Very we'll, you can paint it, | care
nothing about the expense if it only suits
me. I'll pay $3.50 for it.
Now the artist was trhe perplexed rs
to the detail Of the work before him.
The child at prayer and the lowering
angel were simple enough; any dabster
with brush could paint those. But the
"heayen in the distance was not 80
easily overcome. Calling in friend he
consulted with him. "How do you sup
pose heaven looks, anyhow"

sky full of clouds with hole in the cen

A pictorial sketch of Albany was i'm

the picture with that ancient city of the

OF art was delighted, paid the bill, and
the picture hung in his parlor in this

How to Behave at q Party.

remember that when I was quite
young going to party was nearly as
much trial to me as pleasure. Being
dltiident, ! dreaded entering the room,
and encountering the eyes of the people
already assembled there; and once fairly
in, was oyershadowed all the evening
by the dreadful necessity Of, by-and-b by,
retiring, Besides, felt sense of re-
sponsibility which was very oppressive,
and was so afraid Of not doing or saying
what was expected Of me that moved
and acted awkwardly, and no doubt
looked perfectly miserable.
Perhaps some Of you may have had
experiences similar TO mine Now let me
tell you that | have lived to laugh at my
foolish shynoss, and to be very sorry for
boys and girls who suffer from the same
thing. When you ore invited to COM
pany, the first thing in order is to reply
to the invitation. This is polite, whether
you accept or decline, and it is impera.
tire if you decline, Send your answer
as soon as possible, in some such simple
phrase as this: /" Harold, Of "Florence,
thanks Mrs. -- for her kind invitation
for Thursday evening, and accepts it
with pleasure" or declines it with real
regret, as the case may be. Arrived at
your friends house, you will be directed
to the proper place for the removal Of
your wraps, and the arrangement Of
your toilet, and then you have only to
proceed TO the parlor, where your hostess
will relieve you from embarrassment by
meeting you at once. She is, of course,
the first person whom you are 10 greet.
Having spoken to her, you are at liberty
to find other friends. Do not think that
people are looking at you, or noticing
your dress or your looks They are do
ing nothing of the kind. Engage heartily
III whatever amusement is provided for
the occasion, but do not put yourself
ncedlcssly forward. II spoken to, reply
mOdestly but intelligently, even though
for the moment there may be hush in
the room. If You really wish to enjoy
yourself, seek out somebody who seems
to be more Of a stranger than yourself,
and try to do something for his or her
pleasure. Forget that you are not ac-
quainted with everybody, and remember
that it is your duty to help your hostess
in making her party success. Should
your greatest enemy be present, You
must, Of course, be perfectly civil and
agreeable in your manner to him, for in
your friends house you are both under
II flag Of truce.
When you say good night to your en-
tcrtainors, be suro to thank them for the
pleasure you have had Donot stay too
late, but avoid being the first to go; or
if you must leave early, do it as quietly
as possible, lest your withdrawal should
be the signal for others to leave, thus
breaking up the party too soon.-Hur-

CHIEF NUMASA was Census Supervisor
in Nevada. His enumerators we're all
Indians, and n single sheet of blank pa
per and a pencil comprised their equip
ment. Upon this paper the Indian made
circle to represent a wigwam or camp,
and within he placed figures torepresent
the number of persons in family, his
squaws being distinguished by lines
representing gowns, and smaller figures
denoting children of various sizes. The
chief made up his report from these
sheets by taking q number Of willow
sticks Of various lengths TO denote adults
and children of different sizes, notching
those representing females, and sending
the sticks in bundles TO the census Office.
This method, though rude, has served
to furnish an accurate census of the
Piutes.

THE GHOST TO HAMLET.

Bet you two dollars and half
am thy fathers ghost,
noomed for time TO walk the night,
Until can get put on the day force,
And the foul crimes done in my days oil politics
Are burnt and purgei away,
But that am forbid | could a tale unfold
Whose ghtest word would weigh rs heavy
As freight car; freeze thy young blood;
Make thy two eyes stick out Ike ink bottles
tn! kn0tted and combined locks TO part,
And each particular hair 10 stand on end
Like quills upon brand new paint brush,
But this eternal blqZOn must not be
