would be an efficient auxiliary in the
suppression of polygamy. 1t is as
serted, and generally believed by non
Mormons in this Territory, that plural
marriage is still practiced here in
secret. We would recommend that
congress enact law declaring all fH-
ture marriages in this Territory null
and void, unless they are contracted
and evidenced IN the manner provided
by the act. For example: That ali
marriages shall be solemnizad in Ger
tain designated public places: and wit
messed by such persons, aud registered
in such public offices, as to make the
proof of marriage morally certain; pre-
viding, also, that the person officiating
in the marriage .mony, together with
the parties anc witnesses, shall make
their afidavits against polygamy, and
set forth the time and place and other
particulars relating 70 the marriage.
Or, allow marriages to be solenlnized
in private: but with the like guarantees
Of registration, affidsvits, witnesses, etc.,
and in either case providing penalties
for violation of the act by any of the
persons concerned therein. In making
this suggestion, We omit the details,
which can readily be supplied by ref
erence to the marriage acts of most OF
the States.
In our former report We adyerted to
the law of this territory comforting on
women the right of suffrage. This law
was enacted by the Territorial iegisla-
ture some twelve years ago. 0f course
1t Is competent for congress to repeal
or annul this law. Without expressing
any opinion on the question of women
suffrage in general, we are satisfied
that, owing TO the peculiar state OF 81
fairs in Utah, this Law Is an obstruction
to the speedy solution of the "yexed
question" In the prosecution of poly
gamy cases here it is difficult to prove
the first or legal marriage. We would
suggest, as a remedy, that the FIRST or
legal wife be declared by &C. of con-
gress competent witness In such pros
ecution- Under the act OF congress, by
virtue OF whose provisions this COM
mission was appointed, the people Of
Utah appear to be put upon probation
until legislative assembly, elected uE-
der the provisions of the act, shall
meet and pass the requisite laws con-
corning registration and election. The

Carradoc was destitute; almost sll
the working-men had persisted. 1t was
the depth of winter, when work was
scsrcest. The evil reputation of the
people chilled their neighbors' charity;
famine stared them in the face.
Miss Galembert asked the women 10

Her lover came from Morpeth twhere
he was lingering to be near her). Silas
Crewe and Rsldy Leslie waited on her
with loving service.
She told them that she hsd reflected
on their case, and thought she could
see a way out OF their distress. She
proposed to teach one or two out Of
each family the art of lace-making; she
herself was an adept, and would remain
with them until they had acquired the
art.

FOrty-0ne Days Fast.

Tanners fast of forty days has just
been beaten by an inmate of the Camden
County Insane Asylum, at Blackwood-
town, who has lived for forty-one days
without any sustenance save a dozen
pints of water, and from that time until
the fifty-hrst day upon small quantity
of milk. The case is a remarkably in
teresting one, and will possibly be of
some interest to medical science, mas
much as the mans mind seems to have
been affected sufficiently to warrant his
early discharge as cured patient. His
name is Henry Clark, aged 40 years, and
he is native of Haddonfield, N. J. He
was admitted to the Blackwoodtcwn in
stitution about two years ago, suffering
from acute mania. brought on by religi-
Gus excitement. For the first month or
two he was very violent and was kept in
close confinement He comes from an
excellent family, we'll known in Haddon-
field, and is brother of William Clark,
also insane, who some years ago abstain
ed from food for fifty-one days. and then
died.
Henry Clark particular mania seemed
to be that he was destined to go to hea-
ven by ascension. He claimed that
death would never claim him, and that
he wonld be taken, with his material
body, into paradise, like Elijah. Accus-
toned to the various vagaries of the pa
tients, very little notice was taken of
Clark's hobby by the managers of the in
stitution. He had not been long con-
fined, however, before it was noticed that
during his lucid intervals, which were
not infrequent, that he talked nationally
upon nearly every subject, and seemed
especially interested upon the question
of insanity. He spoke freely of his own
affiiction to DIR. Brannin, the resident
physician, and Mrs. Stiles, the matron,
and made numerous suggestion as to
treatment Clark seemed to be in con-
siderable trouble about his head, and
often sought to alleviate the intensity of
his affection by beating himself with his
fists. Again, he would butt his head
against the sharp edges of the iron bed
stead. This conduct became so frequent
that DR.. Brannin kindly expostulated
with the patient, and easily persuaded
him to give mp such practices, assuring
him that they would not be productive
of any good.

oung Loves Dream Of Housekeeping

They are young married people and
have Just gone to housekeeping, and the
neighbors who assemble at their front
window to witness the narrowing sight
of their parting for the day declare that
the following is verbatim account of
their conversation:
'Good-by, Charley; now be careful
the street cars don't run off the track
with you, and-kiss me, Charley-there
was something I wanted to- tell you-let
me see. Was it hairpinsj No, got them
what could it have been?"

Charley, bracing up and looking very
handsome and manly; twas it something

why, of course it was; there isn't

nor mouthful of bread and butter vs.,

have it cut bias, so it will be lender
and loaf of sweet bread, Charley. and
strawberry shortcake, dear, and-and
anything else you think of, dear"
But, my little wife" said Charley,
looking very wise, "these little things
must all be made before we can eat
them"
"Must they? Oh, DEAR and never
learned to do fancy work. never
crocheted biscuit fit to eat, and I
couldn't paint tomato to save my life.
Oh, Charleyi go to the ready-made
stores, do. there's darling"
He did; and they had q picturesque
meal of lobster and strawberries, with
bakers rusk and lemonade, but Charley
has written to his mother to come at
once and make them a long visit; they
are so delightfully."- situated they can
make it pleasant for her now, he says.

The Kiud Darwin.

1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that the late DIR. Darwin was one of the
gentlese and kindest hearted men. He
was always ready to give helping hand
to poor, struggling student. Last sum-
mer an acquaintance of mine, young
man who was writing some popular sci
entific articles, wrote to the great nat
uralist, asking some questions relating
to the theory of evolution. The next
day the journalist received an autograph
letter from DR.. Darwin, begging his ac-
ceptance of copy of the Origin of the
Species, (which is, I believe" said the
eminent philosopher, the most impor-
tant of my works" Many persons inn
agine that DIR. Darwin was an atheist, but
that report was spread by imbeciles, who
never troubled themselves to
investigate his writings. Let the great
biologist speak for himself: .sI see no
good reason why the views given in this
volume should shock the religious feel
ings of anyone" 1t is satisfactory. as
showing how transient such impressions
are to remember, that the greatest dis
covery ever made by man, namely, the
law of attraction of gravity, was also at
tracted by Liebnitz 'sas subversive of
natural and inferentialIy of revealed,
religion" A celebrated author and
divine has written to me that he "has
gradually learned to see that it is just as
noble conception of Deity to believe
that He created few original forms
capable of self development into
other needful forms, as to believe that
He required fresh act of creation to
support the voids caused by the action

Brother Buford's Break.

A huge shadow blotted out q dozen
square yards of sunshine on Gray street
yesterday afternoon, and q Courier
Journal reporter had hardly removed
his hat for the unexpected favor before
he had to steer due north for few laps
and tack west again to get out of the
way of the advancing brig. Signals
were exchanged, and as the larger craft
swung to, the good-natured, smiling face
of General Abe Buford appeared from
under his extensive straw hat, and vol
unteered, between gasps:
s'Hot, amt it?"
ST think you've struck the combina-
ton, General" said the reporter.
Young man, your weakness for
horseracing will sooner or later land you
right in the bosom of the church. y
"What has the bosom of the church
ever done to me, General?'
''You don't cotton them" emphasized
the General, as he slipped his umbrella
into his hand and drew diagram of the
blushing joke upon the his dusty shoe.

some of the grandest horses in the
world, continued the General, as he led
the thermometer few lengths.
s'How was it you said Goodnight was

THAT was the race with Lord Murphy.
Mclaughlin, Dwyer's rider, pulled him
because his boss had money on the other
horse. Why, Goodnight finished the
mile in AZ, and was as far ahead of
Lord Murphy as that house across the
street is from where we stand. Why,
another length and he weuld have shut
him out"
The reporter remarked that, after all
there was some very fine sport in horse
: racing.
A reflective look came into the old
generals eye, and then he broke out sud
denly, as if he had wrestled with the an
gel, and had at least thrown him dog
fall. s'I'm going back to the turf. Yes,

walk demurely into deacon Aliens

The worthy deacon quickly let his an

eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle: the
deacon followed fast, and raised his
foot again; alas! that first kick was his
last.
For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back,

ddacon could retreat, it stood him on his

The congregation then arose and

Then rushed they straightway for the
door, with curses long and loud, while
rammy struck the hindmost man and
shot him through the crowd.

kindness would subdue the fiercest beast.
"Aha! he says, "I'll try that game on

With kind and gentle words he came
from that tall pulpit down, saying:

The ram quite dropped his humble
