MORMON VIEW OF THE UTAH BILL.
SALT LAKE CITY, June 2O.-The Nor
mon press and prominent MormQns con-
slider the bill which has just passed the
Senate as a cruel measure, harsh, unjust
tyrannical, and, in some respects, revo-
lutiOnary and unconstitutional, and de-
signed to rekindle the fires Of persecu-
ton. Many of its provisions, they think,
will not stand the test of judicial exami-
nations, and We're evidently framed, they
say, with the design of DESTROYING the
Mormon religion. They assert that the
circumstances here do not call for any
such enactments, and that the existing
public opinion which prompted the Sena-
tors to vote for this measure has been
created by the persistent circulation of
false reports concerning affairs here.

TRYING TO SELL CUBA.
HAVANA, June 20.-Captain General
Castillo is about to send to New York by
the next steamer one of five commission
ers who came here from Madrid a fort
night ago. He is prompted to do this bv
the reception of dispatches from the
Spanish Minister at Washington and the
Spanish Consul at New York These
gentlemen have apparently been very
much alarmed by the nomination of Mr..
Blaine, and especially by the statement
of Wicker, of Key West, who is said to
have declared that he had it from Blaine's
own mouth that Cuba was worth $780,
600, 900 to the United States
They say in their dispatches that pub
lie opinion in America is absolutely in
favor of making purchase of anneXing
Cuba, an event for which they believe
Canovas government is prepared, but
from which they would like to see him
get the greatest possible benefit, for they
say the Americans will not find the price
too high.
The minister adds that after the ridic-
hious failure of the judicial inquiries I'M
Ndertaken against Aguero and Rubera it
will be very difficult to make the govern
ment at Washington take any action
against the Cuban conspiritors. The
Captain General, therefore, sends his
commissioner to New York, where he
' Il report to the Spanish minister, and,
after comforting with him and the con-
sui. furnish precise information respect
ing the future neutrality of the Ameri-
can Government and respecting the
VI NbbSlilllilS ANl illt iSitiilu Noo,-
600, 900 of BIaine's alleged programme.
After having received this information
the commissioner will return to this
place, and, with his colleagues, will pre-
pare a definite report which was to have
been sent to Madrid the latter part of
this month, but which will be delayed
some days.
An AneCdote of Carlysle.
Edward King tells this characteristic
anecdote of Carlysle. That portentous
pseudo-phylosopher, Mullock, called on
the old Scotchman and let himself loose
talking Carlysle almost to death. Car
lysle listened imperturably, invited him
to tea and had him to smoke in the Ii
brary afterwards. When at last the
youthful sage thought it proper to take
his leave Carlysle acCOmpanied him to
