THE FOUNDER OF MORMONISM.

Joe Smith was born IN Rutland, VT,
about the time that Wingate, the com
bined fnrger and charlatan, made such
q sensation there. He removed, when q
you b, to Palm yra, n. Y, and there Rig
don found him. mith was full OF mag
ne ism, iull of warm blood, hearty gen
erouS iellow-from the description an or
iginal, untu!ored Jim Fisk. After proper
training, Smith became the prophet and
Rigdon the inspiration behind him, put
ting cunning words into the mouth Of the
b0or. At last Smith, finding how pleas
ant It was to play prophet, and tiattered
by tie devotion paid him drew away from
tie cold Rgdon. For one of his sensual
that if celestial plural marriages were
goOI il was grnvaus waste of time 20 wait
for death to sanctiiy them, that real wOm-
en- were to be preferred to doubtful and
unsubstantjal ghosts, and that the right
thing was to be sealed tothose still in the
flesh. So he had revelations; pOyga-
my became a part Of the Mormon religion,
and Joe Smith a little Mohammed. Fol
lowers began to flock rapidly around
Smith. Probably, without being con
sc,ous of the fact, he had dmade animaIism
the keystone III the arch Of his creed,
and given to his church all the adhesive
ness which cements Christian creeds,
and in addition all the fascination which,
to sensual natures, clings to Mohammed-
ism. Thence forth the institution
thrived until became to much of nui-
sance and took on attributes of such
mena e to free government, that III a
paroxysm Of rage the mob killed Smith.
Though his life had been full of irregu-
Iarities, in thehearts of his followers his
death made him martyred prophet who
had died for lis people, and ever since
he has been held by them as one to be
reverenced next to the Nazarene.

Henry Ward Beecher, in his lecture at
the Cooper Institute, New York, on Sat
ur,lay evening, said: "The whole theory
of morals is to be profoundly advantaged,
! think, by the question of evolution.
OF course, just now, there is great deal
of thinking, and more or less comparison
of thought, on the principle of an AMIGA
BILE adjustment OF controversies As respects
the origin of morals; but one thing is
very certain, and that is that The human
r1ce, is unfolding in the direction
of reason and moral sense and atfe, :
Il nate sense. The essential truths of God
run down and throw their roots into the
great natural laws. For every greac pre-
cept, for every essential practical doc
trine, it is better for the world that we
should be able to say that it stands, not
on the authority of the priest, nor even
on the authority OF experience, but that
it stands rooted as a part of nature itself.
Ii we cast off intolerable superstitiCns,
year after year, influences will work with
the very seasons in favor eff virtue and Of
a true religion. | thank God, therefore,
for the g'owing light and power of the
great doctrine of Christian evolution"

THE Boston Globe makes some just
comments on che eky piece Of business
which it briefy relates as follows:
The rankest piece of dishonesty brought
to light in this connection is the action
of the Ninth and Tenth Rhode Island
Volunteers, who have built, upon the
basis of IN offi'ia oversight, claim for
$5,000,000. These noble and patriotic
Rhode Islandes enlisted for 3 months,
and went hone with much enthusiasm
at the expiration of their time. their
discharges wer to have been forwarded
in few days, out through some mis- axe
the matter wat overlooked at Washing
ton and reste( for over twenty wears.
A few days ago the error was discovered,
and the discharges made out in proper
form in or Ter b corr the records, and
these noble fenuers of their country
(for ninety days now demand paw, with
interest, from Jhe time of leaving the
army to the date of their technical dis
charge One captain has made formal
application fol back pay, and the others
are anxiously awaiting the result of bis
pocket picking raid on the Treasury.
1t would hot be surprising to learn
next that some Rhode Island patriot had
demanded reimbursement from the Gov
ernmcnt for his expenses in running
away to Canada to avoid the draft.

1t has been remarked now many mem
bers of Queen Victoria's household,
while irreproachable themselves, have
been unfortunate in tier children. The

ried Mr. Russell. who played at the Mari
borough club Mai Harbord's little game,

Lady Ely, to whom the queen is devoted,
has seen her only daugher divorced for
misconduct Lady Desart's eldest son
became in circumstances which put him
under thick cloud The queen is a 10y
al and steadfast friend, and it is no fault
of hers if in the long run any valuedsser
want of her own, her husband, or her
mother fails to get his wishes. 1t would
have been very difficult for minister to
refuse the request that Lord Beacons-
fields decoration should be given to an
other valued friend, and all the more 50
that the minister has another garter to
dispose of. But the general public will
not be pleased for it has gone abroad
that Lord Portsmouth refused the blue
ribbon some time ago OF the score that
he had done no public service to the
state, and to many it will justly appear
preposterous that while such a man as
Lord Duferin goes without the highest
decoration, tie sovereign can bestow it is
conferred on mere lord in-waiting. 1t
recalls, indeed the hon'mot made year
since anent the Phipps family by whom
a plethora Of snug things have been s6-
sorbed, that they of the household di,

DREADFUL DROUGHT Boston. Mass,
Jan. 1.-The Journal prints details of
the effects Of the prolonged droutb in
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
In Manchester, \. H. some 1000 opera.
tives are idle, the mills shutting down.
Th8 product of the Maine saw-mills will
be reduced 20,O00,00O feet. The rivers
are lower than for half century. The
mills or the Penobscot will loose over
81 100000. Establishments on the Ken
nebec, AndroscCggin, and Saco are like
wise crippled. In Southeastern Maine
hundreds Of persons are compelled to re-
sort to snow for water ami cattle are
driven miles to ponds and brooks. Tie
Merrimac River is lower than ever. The
great mills Of Nashua and Great Falls,
besides those at Manchester, are running
on half to two-thirds time, and the losses
to employers and employees are enormous.
la Vermont the hush-boards on the Con-
necticut have been raised two feet, and
still there is not water enough to keep all
the mills running on full time. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the aggregate losses.
The rainfall for 1882 throughout the re-
giOn was barely half the average. There
has been no January thaw.

Ex-Vice President Colfax thinks that
a season of stagnation is awaiting Us next
Fall. AMI that the country will be suffer
ing from a financial stringency. ae
gives the following reasons:
There are four leading reasons: The
change in the balance of trade, which is
now against us; the low prices we are
getting for our crops; the extravaganza
Of the people last year, and the very ex-
tensive building of railroads. Money put
in airoads is not like money invested in
manufactures, which if the investment
,oes not prove profitable, can be reinvest-
ed elsewhere. Railroads once bnilt have
to remain, whether they prove profitable
or not. | would say, in connection with
my prediction, that there will be fnan-
cial stringency in the Fall, that the rea-
sons causing it are. of course, acting now;
but this is a dividend!paying season, and
the money thus poured into the country
is giving temporary relief which will

WOLSELEY'S IDEAL SOLDIER.

"What do you think are the most es-
sential qualities of soldier and an army,
Sir Garnet?"
Esprit de corps and pride. A soldier
should be proud of his profession, and
he should have the greatest interest and
feeling for his individual command. He
should be dressed well. Even should he
incline toward dandyism.that should be
encouraged. The better you dress sol
dier the more highly he will be thought
of by women, and consequently by him
self The Duke of Wellington said of
his officers in Spain that many of the best
Of them were the greatest dandies. Men
in the campaigns of the past used to
pride themselves in being sIovenly. To
be unshaven and dirty was supposed to
be the sign of a good officer. The spirit
runs like wildfre amongst an army.
Whatever the officers think fine the men
will think 50, too. 1t is very difficult to
make an Englishman at any time look
like soldier. He is fond of longish
hair and uncut whiskers In the
field no mar should wear his hair over
half an inch in length. 1t should never
be long enough to part. No man can
have smart hearing who caE part his
hair. Hair, is the glory of woman but,
the shame of man. Men who have
never worn boards are apt to think that
to wear one saves good deal of trouble.
1t does SO if you do not clean it, but to
wear long one and keep it clean de-
mands more time and trouble than
shaving. On service discipline deterior-
ates when but little attention is paid to
dress, aud when the men wear almost
what they like. ."-ROse Il. Raymond in
San Francisco ChronicLe.

the tOllOy
warning:

IN IN The recent death of Josiah A Noon
an has revived the story of his efforts in
1887 to establish the first newspaper in
Madison. A writer OF the history of
those early days says:
Mr.. Noonan hal ordered a rress and
material from Buffalo, to come by way of
lakes 10 Green Bay, and thence up Fox
River on barges to Fort Winnebago
whence it was to have been carted over
land to Madison. The bill of shipment
came in due time, but weeks passed, and
nothing was heard of the material. The
season was getting late and no press.
Finally Mr. NOonan engaged Mr. Hyer
(George) to mount pony and 90 to Fort
Winnebago forty miles distant, and make
inquiry about the missing material, and
if nothing was heard of it, to proceed to
Green Bay. Or reaching Fort
Winnebago, Mr., Hyer, gained informa-
ton which convinced him that the press
and material had been thrown overheard,
in storm in Lake Huron, off Mackinaw;
but it was months after the unfortunate
event before it's fate was fully known.
Satisfied that it would be useless to look
further for the missing printing material,
Mr.. Hyer started back and gave such in
formation of the matter as be had been
able to learn.
