nv OWN GIRL.
BY FREDERIC LANGBt IDGE.

Fifteen shillings-ro more, Sir
The wages weekly touch.
For labor steady and sore, Sir,
1t isn't deal too much
Your money has wings in the city,
And yanishes left and right,
But hand a crown to Kitty
AS sure as Saturday night.
Bless her, my own, my wee,
She's better than gold to me
She lives in a reeking court. Sir,
With roguery. drink, and woe
But Kitty has never a thought, Sir,
That isn't as white az snow
She hasn't thought or feeling
An angel would blush to meet;
| love to think Of her kneeling
And praying for me so sweet.
Bless her, my OWL, my wee,
She's better than gold to mel
[ must pe honest and simple,
/ must be manly and true,
Or how could / pinch her dimple.
Or gaze in her frank eyes blue?
I feel, not anger, but pity,
When workmates go to the bad
/ say, 't.They've n1ver a kitty
They'd all keep square if they had"
Bless her, my own, my wee,
She's better than gold to me-
One day she viii stand at the altar,
Modest. and white and STILL
Ana forth from her lips will falter
The beautiful, low, q l win''
Our home shall be bright and pretty
AS ever poor mans may,
And my soft little dove. my Kitty,
Shall nest in my heart for aye.
Bless her, my own, my wee,
She's better than gold to mel
Good Words

clined to insinuate that it was all plan
of Mrs. Deans, and very successful
plan too. But that, we know, is all nom
sense. One thing about it is certain
that, to this day, the venerable arch
deacon is totally ignorant, and so are
his intimate friends, that his son ever
incurred the disgrace of being sent down
from st. Aldate's.

IT is vehemently claimed by some of
the stockholders of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, that this corporation
has by certain acts of its own, put itself
under the operation of the new constitu-
tion which hitherto governed all else
within the borders of the commonwealth
except this giant corporation. If this
alleged decision of the court in Philadel.
phia is valid, the company has no longer
a right to issue free passes, and those
who allege that it is under control of the
constitution cln perform double pub
lie service by making a legal test of this
free pass business.

THE New York Herald, in an able edi-
torial article to-day, expresses exactly the
same opinion as was maintained in yester-
days ISTELLIGENCER respecting Judge
Advocate Swaim's remarkable report Oh
Mason's case, which it pronounces equally
absurd whether considered from legal or
common sense standpoint and the Herald
shows that the single citation from Whar-
ton, on which Swain relies, he quotes
from an old edition of Wharton, who in a
later edition declares that " it does not
touch indictments for attempts to kill"
Mr.. Arthur, it is reported, greatly to his
credit, will not pardon Mason, at least not
at present, for he clearly recognizes that
in such an event if Mason or any other per-
son should successfully attempt Guiteau's
murder, he could reasonably and logically
ask for promotion rather than expect pun
ishment.
FROM the news that come hence from
Western Pennsylvania, Congress needs to
be looking after Westmoreland and Fay
cite counties. Mormon missionaries out
there are successfully at work making
converts among farmers of the better class,
and as they conform to the anti-polyga
nous sentiment their religion is spreading.
A slight backset has been given to it by a
recent remarkable circumstance. Several
weeks ago man who was lying ill sent for
Presbyterian minister, but, instead, a
Mormon prophet came to him. This as
sumed physician of body and soul conveyed
the SICK man to neighboring stream and
there immersed him, notwithstanding his
protestations to the contrary. Last week
the subject of immersion died and since
that time there has been strong and
growing feeling against tho Mormons and
their doctrines. This incident may save
the necessity of federal legislation.

A DESPEkADO'S doom.

Murdered by q Rival Whom he had Repeat
sdiy Threatened to XIII.
Near Lemon, in Accomac county Va,
Gilley Bondick one of the most noted des-
peradoes ever known in the state was
murdered. A feud had existed for some
months past between Bondick and Ben
Young, growing out of the fact that the
latter had won the affections of woman
in the county to whom the deceased had
been paying attention. Bondick had fire.
guently threatened to take the life of his
rival, and on several occasions notified
him if ho ever caught him at the house Of
his lady love be would kill him on the spot.
Young, however, is bold fellow and gave
little heed to these warnings, other than
to 90 about continually armed to the
teeth. BOndick was found not far
from the path which leads to the
house of the woman with fearful wound
in his abdomen. When discovered the
wounded man was barely able to talk, but
managed to say that he believed that
Young had shot him. He died about an
hour after making this statement. Young
was arrested. When taken in charge it
was found that his nose was broken and
that he had sustained a severe confusion of
the forehead. The theory is that Bon
dick discovered that Young, despite the
formers threats, was visiting the woman,
and desperate encounter resulted, in
which Young emptied the contents Of his
shotgun into Bondick and that that wea-
pom exploded in Young's hands, causing
tho wounds found upon him. Young de-
clines to make any statement of the affair.
II the woman has any knowledge Of the
deed she has not divulged it. Bondick
was son of the famous desper:do of that
name, who terrorized Accomac and other
counties in the Northern Neck during the
civil war and defied the Federal soldiers.

For clerk of common council number
of candidates have been named, the most

Tho Democracy
The Democrats this year have very lit
tie patronage to bestow. They are in
minority in common council and in joint
convention, and will therefore most likely
lose all the city Offices but they have Sc
cured majority of one in select council
and will probably organize that body,
which for many years past has been con-
trol!ed by the Republicans. There ap.
pears to be very little rivalry among them
for the presidency. It is understood that
both Wise and Zecher positively decline
the place, and that neither Berger, Brown
nor Wolf is especially anxious for its
honors. Either Of them will make good
presiding officer.
For clerk Of select council there are
several available candidates : Herbert
Johnston, of the 1NTELLIGENCER, for two
years past clerk of common council!

staff of the Nec Era ]. B. Lichty. late =,

THE SITUATION In UTAH.
Meeting OF the Spring Mormon Confer.
enee-rfc Leaders DemoraItzed.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, April THE Mormon
spring conference met yesterday. The at
tendance was slim and proceedings tame
There is great ferment in the Mormon
mind and church. The leaders seem unable
or unwilling to sound any rallying cry. The
Mormons are heard to regret that Brig
ham Young is not alive. They recall
that he contemplated abandoning polygamy
if Reynoldss decision was against
it, and demand that the present
church leaders shall openly announce their
submission to the law or their intention to
continue to defy it. Their instructions to
polygamists to find separate houses for
their plural wives is regarded as cow
ardly, and is creating dissatisfaction
among the Mormon women. The coming
constitutional convention is expected to
provide against the further extension
of polygamous marriages, but what the peo-
pie already in polygamy are to do gives
most concern. Some polygamists have sent
away their plural wives, while others have
not, and say they will not, although
greatly di, tub d as to the possible conse-
quences. They say they are willing to
suffer political disfranchiseme nt, and aid in
stopping further polygamOus marrisges, but
they will not abandon their plural families,
and they fear prosecution if they do not.
The women have suddenly acquired greatly
increased importance. The pelygamists will
probably not endeavor TO be registered
for voting by the election commission.
They expect to be able 10 elect homogeneous
Mormons to all offices; nevertheless there is
a great rush for naturalization papers. There
would be but little disposition among the
Gentiles to disturb the existing poly gamous
relations If the Church would stop the prac-
tice where ii is, but they show no disposition
to do that, or those who have the dis position
lack the courage to act
