Three Weddings.

a Mormon elder who had been on q
mission in Europe was encountered on
bis way westward with three newly
affianced wives. He readily intro
duced them to reporter of one OF
the st. Louis dailies. Emeline was q
brawny, ignorant, hard-handed widow
of forty or over, and her lot was to be
that of drudge in the Well-balanced
family which the elder contemplated.
She was to look after the domestic
economy" as he expressed it. Sarah
was q neither handsome nor young
woman, but some refinement was dis
cernible, and he said she had been a
schoolma'a 'am in Wales. She was for
practical use, too, his plan being to
make her a governess for his children.
The third, Lottie, was blooming Lam
cashire lass Of twenty Or so, quite pret-
ty in her coarse way, and the reporter
did not deem it necessary to ask the
elder why he had chosen her. They
were evidently in love with each 9TH
er, which was not surprising in him,
though marvellous in her, considering

elder replied: 1--WE call the ceremony a
sealing, and it is performed in secret.
Thereafter I shall hold more ap-
proved position before the Church, for
we hold that polygamy is not only a
privilege, but also q duty which no
saint can be entirely excused from full
filling. There was some hesitation
about sending me, because had taken

Central Southern Missouri. /.

That portion of the State generally
embraces nearly all Central Southern
Missouri, is but now beginning to be fair
ly opened to railroad traffic. 1t is ter
ritory which, from its geographical sit
uation, might be especially advantage
Gus to st. Louis, and should be of i'm
mediate interest to the commercial
clases here. Undoubtedly St. Louis
merchants have always dealt freely
with the people in that region and the
intercourse has been mutually advan-
tageous But now, when several lines
of railroad are being constructed and
many others discussed and projected,
it behooves st. Louis to give especial
attention to the territory in question.
1t is yet the least developed portion of
Missouri, but is destined to attain great
productiveness and prosperity. The
minerals, timber and stock-producing
capacity Of thirty counties in that por-
ton of the State are sufficient of them
selves to build up a large city. The
development in that quarter has been
retarded by the lack of communication
with the currents of commerce and
population. Other sections have been
more attractive because reached with
more facility and their product
brought out at less cost. These con-
ditions are rapidly changing, facts
which should by no means be over
looked or underestimated.-S Louis

Col. Patterson on the Railroad
Bill,

From the Banners report on House
proceedings yesterday, the 14th, tho
following extracts are made:
Mr.. Patterson moved that The bill
regulating freights be read first, and
then the bill providing for the ap>
pointment OF commission. The
motion prevailed.
MIR. Patterson claimed the floor. He
considered this by far the most impor-
tant measure which would come before
this general assembly. He had gained
courage in this matter by the knowl
edge that the people bad willed that
this measure should be enacted into a
law. If there ever was legislature
which stood pledged to the interests of
the people, and to represent them
truly, it was this one. Yet such was
tho laxity in this regard that men had
dared to approach members and per
suade them that it would be right foI
them to violate their pledges.
In referring to the lobby he did not
mean that any effort was being made
to corrupt members of this legislature.
He did not believe any member on
this floor could be Influenced in this
way4 These lmen came pleading for
the great interests they represented.
They appealed to social inatinots,
Mr., Patterson then read from both
the Bate and Fussell platforms de.
clarations in favor of railroad com>
mission. The readjusters, he said, had
not expressed themselves on this SUI.
jeot.
He was not here as any enemy of the
railroads. He would do tAem no
harm, and he wished to prevent them
from doing anyone else wrong.
All the arguments used by railroad
men were based on the hypothesis, that
they were entitled to just the same
liberties as are the farmer and the
merchant, and should be dealt with on
the same basis. This hypothesis was
denied. The difference was that the
public had no interest in the
farmer, but it had much interest in
the railroad. The people we're com,
PEELED to use them, just as they we're
compelled to use ferries and mills
The latter were not allowed to dis.
crimlnate or extort. Why not apply
the same to railroads. Simply because
they were enabled by their wealth IL
employ the best legal tAlsns Ia the
country to represent their interests
II the miller and the fsrrymi n were
enabled to do this they could defend
railroads. S''s -

HELENA, March l5.-Four inches
fall in the last twenty-four hours,
three Of which occurred in the four
teen hours ending this morning. The
gauge now registers scant forty six
feet and the river is going down more
rapidly than at any time since the de-
cline set in. The weather is clear
again this morning with a gentle
breeze from tn, west.
A negro has been reported drowned
on the Bob Neal place, opposite here,
last evening.
There is no fall yet in the overflow
back in the'bottom, and it will acquire
considerable more fall in the river to
produce any material change in the
situation behind the levees. The
water from the great st. Francis basin
is coming out rapidly and is as clear as
crystal, having deposited its load OF
murky sediment in that dismal bog.
Business is brisk and preparations
fol. new crops are energetieally going
forward.
The damage to the Mobile and
Northwestern railroad bed will be
quickly repaired as soon as the water
falls sufficiently to admit of work and
trains will probably be running ovel
that line within two weeks.
