Chinese Beds.

There are two kinds of Chinese beds,
and both are arranged for n complete
shutting in by means OF hanging cur
tains and tapestry. The expensive kind
is like a sort of cage, having q fiat
wooden roof, just the size of the bed
proper, supported at height of about
eight feet from the floor on four corner
posts and two intermediate ones. Then
there is a sort of frieze or entablature
work running around horizontally,
above and below, so that when you are
in bed you are safely penned in sort
OF cage, and cannot possibly tumble
out. The carving on these beds is
sometimes very rich, and they cost
much; but the ordinary and cheaper
kind is made of two frames of wood,
shaped something like the skeleton of
an old-fashioned "settle," which are
stood up on the floor, facing each
other. A mattress is placed on the
projecting part of these frames, and
couple OF slight sticks across the top;
then curtains end hangings shut all in,
and make it look as pretty as the taste
and money of the owner are able. In
side there is a cotton quilt, laid on the
mattress frame. Tho occupant of the
bed lies on this, having little roll Of
stuff for the head, and for covering a
very thick cotton quilt.

poLYGAnY.

For many years the executive in his annual
message to congress, has called attention to the
necessity of stringent legislation for the suppress
sion Of polygamy in the territories especially in
| tab. The existing statute for the punishment
Of this odons crime 50 revolving 10 the moral and
religious of christianity has been persistenty
and contemptuousy violated ever since its enact
ment. Indeed in spite Of the cotDmendable efforts
on the part Of authorities who represent the
United States in thai territory the law has not in
various instances been enforced. and { causes
To which reference will presently be mad is prac-
tically dead letter The fact that the adher-
ents of the Mormon church which rests upon
poygamy a. its corner stone, have recently been
peopl,ng IN large numbers, Idaho Ari-

livliest interest and apprehension. II impo-es
upon congress and the executive the duty of using
against this barbarOus system all the power which
under the constitution and law they WELD for
its destruction. Reference has already been made
TO the obstacles which the United States officers
have encountered in their efforts to punish viola
tons of the law. continent amonr the obstacles
Is the difficulty Of procuring legal evidence sufi-

reversal IN ths case Of VI les who had teen CON

the fact that the secresy attending the celebsa-

part of evidence very difficult and the propriety
