 We have heard great deal lately about the Mormons, and much of it has been in their favor. Phil Robinson In his ''Sinners and Saints" gave them very hstterinG sssetting out, " and various correspondents have warm ly praised their virtues. Indeed, it has seem ed as if there were something like an organ ized attempt to show that the Mormons have been sadly misjudged and much maligned.
 But the recent eulogists of Mormonism have not been able to entirely cover up it's ugliness, or make polygamy appear romantic and beautiful. And now comes correspon- dent of the Boston Advertiser who has some- thing to say on the other side. and he says it with fairness and clearness. According to this correspondent, the hatred and detesta- tion of the Gsntiles in Utah towards the sys- tenn increase from year to year, for the req son that they see the outcome and palpable fruits of the system In the form of neglect of children, poverty, assertion and insanity, constantly on the increase. The leading polygamists defend the system by various arguments, the most reasonable of which ap. pears to be that all women have a right to be mothers, and to be mothers legally; and that it is a mans duty to give them such relas tion to their own sex as that they can be- come mothers legally. And the more igno- rant of Mormon women-those with dimmed sensibilities and moderate intellect-fall in with the system, and apparently think it is God-given and justi6able, if not satisfying. But the women of brain and of quick, ten der and loving natures always revolt when tho tarrihlo ic fn khaSr own lips, and they find themselves the second or the third wife. And then the system-which, without 8 shadow of doubt, was really originated to promote the growth of population-now presents to the Mormon leaders themselves the fearful problem of an enormous and unmanageable swarm of children of all ages. Even the question of barely supporting them is not easily solved; but to make decent and self-respecting, self-supporting men of these children of deserted, heart-broken, poverty stricken mothers, is far moro difficult problem. The ablest and most candid of the Mormon leaders confess the difficulty, and offer no solution. They have Sunday schools and also an organization which comes in to take children in it's care and oversight before they are even old enough to go to the Sun day school; in this and in many of their methods and customs they evince 8 most praiseworthy disposition to train their young people aright, and to promote right and hon. est living. And yet it all fails of accomplish ing the desired object for the reason that the old family relation of husband and one wife is discarded there is none of the mutual help and comfort of the old marriage rela- tion; on the contrary, there is jsrring dis cord, hatred, bitter grief, and despairing neglect.
 This appears to us to be much nearer the truth than the glowing descriptions of crowded and happy Mormon households that have lately been so frequent.

There is a Methodist minister in Ridge those who took part in the controversy con- corning dancing which enlivened our col umns some time ago. The ohurohsof which this minister is the head has no bell, and some of the people of the village offered to give towards the purchase of 8 bell the mon- ey secured by aseries of sociables at which there was dancing to the music of solitary fiddler. But the minister refused the offer, and the presiding elder sustained him. and even suggested the duty of disciplining a brother who advised the acceptance of the gift. The affair has set the whole village by the ears, and threatens to even break up the church.
 How to sleep on railroad train is ques- tion which has puzzled great many very in- telligent people. A German physician, Dr. Outten, says that if person lies with his feet toward the engine the movement of the car tends to draw the blood from the brain to the feet, cerebral ansmia is produced, .and then sleep; but if he lies with his head near- CT the locomotive Gas is the custom in Ger many), there is produced a cerebral hyperse- mia, incompatible with sweet re- pose. Dr. Mcbride of the Mil yankee Insane Asylum advises exactly the reverse. He holds thaf with the feet to ward the engine the blood tends to the head.

Chairman Simmons of the Boston water board is doing all that he can to bring about the general use of water meters in Boston. He claims that the saving already made by the introduction of meters will nearly double the revenue in the district where they have been putin and thus. if this result is ob- tained all over the city, great reduction of rates can be made. A great deal of water is wasted where meters are not used.

Rumors That an Attempt Would be
Made ON HIS Life.

QUEBEC, October 22.-News OF the alarm
ing statements published in New York
respecting reported apprehensions Of
trouble concerning the Marquis Of Lang
downe's arrival, caused some excitement
here tonight. 1t is not believed any
attempt has been made to conceal the time
OF his landing and the inaugural cerc.
monies. The party will probably land
about $50 tomorrow. The New Governor
General will be sworn in at 10 o'clock, and
the party will leave at noon for Ottawa by
special train.
A French paper says tonight it Is re-
ported that some hot.headed Irishmen will
make demonstration hostile to the Mar
auis. Its effects, however, will not amount
10 anything, and ssys it hopes its Irish
friends will have more sense than TO coun-
tenance any action OF that kind. It more
over calls upon all French Canadians to
rally around the governmentwhcse mother,
it says, wss French woman. This Is the
sole reference made thus far in the city
press to any anticipations Of trouble.
Lsading frishmen upon being interview,
ed ridiculed any fear OF trouble. On
the other hand there Is rumor that an
indignation meeting will be held up the
cove tonight against the Government by
irish residents. A reporter who visited the
locality in question could CLEAN no such
information, however.
