winter fire much as we did before the little
ones came to widen the circle. Life is some

Not long since nv health utterly broke dow .
My system was full of malaria. My digestion

little and that without enjoying 1t, and had
no ottrength orambition to perform even my
light household duties. Medical treatment
failed TO reach the seat Of trouble. The dis,

vital organs-progressed until had several
attacks which my physicians pronounced to
be acute congestion of the stomach. The last
OF these was a desperate struggle and was

The Mormon Question,

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Several Eastern clergymen are becoming
aware Of the growth of Mormonism and its
menace to Christianity and good government.
A New York preacher denounces the twin rel
ic as the greatest despotism of modern times,
and shows how the central power ofSalt Lake
is reaching out and gaining the political con-
troll of the adjacent Territories, The alarming
fact is well known on this coast, and has re-
eeived its due attention from the press, but the
remainder of the country seems to be singu-
larry apathetic about this growing evil. 1t
will not take many months, at the present rate
Of growth, to bring polygamy before the coun-
try a very live issue that must be decided
one way or the other.
The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1883-08-20

From the Boston Advertiser.
Hartman, the Nihilist, has arrived in Lon
don. His Grand is to make arrangements for
a Socialist Congress. Some people might
think it wise to throw obstacles in his way, but
II London he will have ample opportunity to
hold his congress in peace and freedom.
English and American, know, by long expert
ence, that the more opportunity reckless and
foolish plotters or reactionists have to talk
theless they will attempt in the way of execu-
ton OF their projects. They free their minds,
gain cheap notoriety, see the folly of each
others plans, make it every ones business to
do the desperate parts of the revolution, then
dissolve in smoke and mutual good wishes,
and no harm results.

A Dissertation on Women.


have never believed there was any differ
ence in the cosby tendencies of the sexes,
writes Howard to the Philadelphia Times.
Men jabber quite as much as women chatter.
The broad mantle Of human nature covers
them both. The late Queen Esther was a
modefto her sex. She stood up for Mordecai
and turned the scafiold on Hannah so COM
pletely that not alone he but his 10 sons went
the way of the hempen Irvine. In public sta
ton women almost always do well. Victoria
has weakness, dare say, but she has done
remarkably well for a human being. The
Queen of Madagascar is an ornament to her
sex. Look at the women Of the stage. They
work day and night. They support themselves
and nine times in 10 whole families beside.
They submit to physical strains which would
exhaust their lords and masters. Did
you ever happen to think OF
that? These women have to rise early be-
cause rehearsals are called at ii and often at
10 O'Clock. Rehearsals last from one to five
hours and sometimes longer. There may be
a matinee. What time is there to rest What
for lunchi A hurried dinner brings them to
7 o'clock, and they must be in the theatre al
1890 There they remain long after the cur
tain is down and the audience gone. Fun,
isn't itY To play queen and be in trouble
to play happy wife and expect beating a
home to play high life and live in drudgery
to wear diamonds on the stage and pawn 9
cloak for rent to mingle with the great and
good for an hour in mimic life to be tied to
drunken, careless, mffanly brute forever.
