Mormons Going West.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 4.-[Special. "A
large number of Mormons were at the
union depot this morning, who had just
arrived from Chattanooga, Tennessee,
and were on their way to Colorado. The
crowd was promiscuous one, in which
the fashionably dressed mixed freely
with those who were clad in clothes
which were shabby. Nearly all the
women of the party carried babies in
their arms. and numerous other young
ones hanging to their mothers apron
strings. Elder Roberts, one of the party,
said that the reason why the Mormons
were changing their settlement was be-
cause Colorado and Utah offered more
advantages to the people of their sect.
The elder was very vOluble on the sub
iect of Mormon morality, claiming that
they are the most moral people on the
face of the earth. The Mormons have
established permanent settlement in
Colorado, and no doubt great number
of those who belong to that sect will fol-
low the present emigrants. In fac
from Elder Roberts conversation,

You must not think that the little rue

the first rows ever known in the profess

the oil footlights smokily lit up the
angry passions of rival actresses.
Somewhere about that epoch The
Cataract of the Gauges, or Cherry and
Fair Star, or some one of the
pioneer show pieces Of the day had
a run of six consecutive nights at the
Bowery theater. Two actresses in the
play cherished unamiable feelings for
each other, and in such farces as "Cross-
ing the Line" they had, without appar-
emit intent, had hand to hand encounters
that fed the flame. In the spectacular
that electrified the Bowery, the ladies
wore costumes ofred morocco boots with
brass heels and spangled Turkish trous-

Secretary McCuIlOch's Report.


WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-Secretary
McCulloch is busily engaged in prepar
ing his annual report to congress. He
will make some important recommen-
dations in regard to revision Of the
tariff, on which subject he is understood
to have very decided views. In the
meantime assistant secretary Coon Is
acting secretary on all routine matters.
The secretary has requested the comp
troller of the currency and the treasurer
of the United States to withhold
their annual reports from pub
LEGATION until after the meeting
of congress. The charters oil
72l national banks, with an aggregate
capital of 1S9,000,000, expire during the
wear 1885. This is more than one third
of the entire national banks now in ex-
istence. From information already re-
ceived by the comptroller OF the cur
renry, it is expected that large major
lty of these banks will continue their
existence by extending their charters,
or by reorganizing under other titles,
There are at present more national
banks with larger capital than ever be,
fore. The capital invested in national
banks was increased about $l6,OOOW0
during the year ended September 80,
1884. The secretary of the treasury has
appointed J. Walker Maurice, OF Wash.
ington, D. c., as assistant inspector oil
customs at New Orleans.
