Us POLYGAMY DEGRADINGt

Is PULYGAMY DEGRADING!
 Archibald Forbes, the celebrated English war correspondent, has been writing letters to the New York World from Salt Lake City, and in these letters he has defended Mormon ism to the best of his ability. In his last let ter he announces that polygamy has not de- graded the Mormons. iIe says to assault
 polygamy because the 3Iormons are '"Turks'
 or ''debauched Mahometans" is monstrous The Mormon women, he says, have compi-
 cated the problem by multiplying instances
 of eccentric affection and abnormal matri- | monial phenomena, but with it all they have retained most exalted estimate of womanly honor. The Mormon men have inextrlcably ! entangled all recognized ideas of love and l duty, yet they have not lost any of the man. | Illness which characterizes the pioneers of the West. ''Their social anomalies are deplor- able, but they are not desperate. Left alone, | they will be pride to the Union. Educa- I tion and the influx of outsiders doing
 their work, and any attempt to rob these men and women of the fruits of their astonishing
 industry and of the peaceful enjoyment of
 the soil which they have conquered for the | United States from the most warlike tribes | among the Indians, and from the most malig-
 nant type of desert is not only not states
 manship, but it is not humanity"
 In the same letter in which Mr. Forbes de l clares that polygamy has not degraded the | Mormons he gives some instances of it's work | ing among them. We select from his inter-
 estlng collection the following A young and l very pretty girl, in 'the upper ten'' of Mor-
 monism, married 8 young man of her own class, but stipulated before marriage that he should marry a second wife as soon as he | could afford to do so. Against his will she ! has now kept him to the promise. A couple about to be married made an agreement be- | tween themselves that the husbands second wife should be one of the relatives of the first wife The lady who was selected refused and the husband remained true to his promise for | ten years. At the end of this time his wife voluntarily chose another mate for him. The belle of the settlement, Gentle, refused | monogamist offers of marriage and married ! Mormon who had two wives already. A girl, | distracted between her love for her suitor | and her love for her mother, compromised in
 her affections by stipulating that he should l marry both her mother and herself, which he
 did. girl, Gentle, bitterly opposed at first | to polygamy, married a polygamist at the solicitation of his first wife, her great friend. | Two girls were good friends, and one of
 them, getting engaged to man by no means
 of prepossessing appearance, persuaded her
 friend to get engaged to him too, and he
 married them both on ths same day.
 And these proceedings, we are calmly told
 by MT. Forbes, do not degrade those who
 participate in them. What then, it is proper | to ask would degrade them?

Southern France is a very pleasant part of the world, and the general impression in this country is that the cost of living there is quite moderate. But the United States con- sul at Marseilles has been making an investi- gation and reports that though sundry deli cacies (such as fruit and wines) are cheaper than in this country nearly all necessaries Of life are dearer. As examples he quotes Flour, SC to $7 per 100 pounds; beef, 20 to 40 cents pork, p to 26; mutton, 25 to 30; ham and butter, 40 to 50; poultry, 9 to 40; potatoes, 70 cents to $1 per bushel. Wood, not of the best quality, is $50 to $40 per cord soft coal, Ca poor article) S6 per ton; charcoal, $12O per hundred pounds; cost of maintaining plain table for five, with two servants, about $3 day. Rent Is rather reasonable" a house of seven or eight rooms (and servants rooms) rating at $350 to $fOO' and at $500 to $500, "rather sparsely fur nished," with flats about one-fourth less. Living expenses of a family of five, living plainly, but comfortably, exclusive ot car riage, coachman and all extras, such as schools, amusements, gratuities to servants, ' etc., are estimated at $500 for rent $1, 100 for table, $18O for servants, S150 for wood, coal and light; total, S1,930. Servants wages are comparatively low, ranging from SC to S7 for maids and S7 to S9 for cooks but cooks expect to do nothing outside of the kitchen maids of all work are rarely found, and thus a second servant is neces- sary washing and ironing is also 'tnever done in the house." and involves $S to $1o a month extra.

The San Francisco Chinese haters do not intend to allow any cheating in the matter of the passport which a Chinaman who wishes to pay visit to China and then return to this country must have. All Chinamen look alike, and it has been feared that those who get passports will sell them to other China men in China who desire to come to this country, and will also manage to get back themselves. It has been suggested that each Chinaman who goes from San Francisco to China intending to return shall be photo graphed and his likeness be retained in the record. But genius has come forward with 8 still better plan. All Chinamen, says he, have eyes of the same shape and color, and black hair, reports of the existence of red haired Chinamen to the contrary notwith- standing. But there is one particular in which no two persons, Mongolian, Califor- nian or Caucasian, are exactly alike, namely, the shape of their heads. The use of the hatter's conformateur is, therefore, the solu- tion of the problem, and the outline of each Chinaman's head is to be punched on his passport, and duplicated in the book of record.

The Duke of Osuna, whose death is an- nounced, was a curious specimen of an old fashioned Spanish grandee. He had about fifty titles, many of them being historical. He was singularly stupid and a singularly liberal man, being possessed of vast estates. He married German lady, but was with difficulty prevented from running away on the day of the ceremony. He always insist. cd that the Empress Eugenie owed her throne to him, and the Emperor Napoleon would never have married her had he not feared that if he delayed she might become Duchess of Osuna For some years he was Spanish Ambassador at St. Petersburg, but he always refused to draw his salary, as to do

 A German satirist has been delivered Of the following interesting and timely fable: There were once four flies, and, as it hap pened, they were hungry one morning. The first settled upon 8 sausage of singularly ap- petizing appearance, and made hearty meal But he speedily died of intestinal inhamma- tion, for the sausage was adulterated with an- iline. The second fly breakfasted upon flour, and forthwith succumbed to contraction of the stomach, owing to the inordinate quantI- ty of alum with which the flour had been adulterated. The third fly was slaking his thirst with the contents of the milk jug, when violent cramps suddenly convulsed his frame, and he soon gave up the ghost, vic tim to chalk aduIteration. Seeing this, the fourth fly, muttering to himself, The sooner it's over the sooner to sleep alghted upon moistened sheet of paper exhibiting the coun- terfeit presentment of deaths head, and the inscription, Fly Poison Applying the tip of his proboscis to this device, the fourth fly drank to his hearts content, growing more vigorous and cheerful at every mouth full, although e1peotant of his end. But he did not die. On the contrary, he throve.and waxed fat You see, even the fly poison was adulterated.
