few days ago ! received ID io..ar
from one of m, cma.c relatives.
living 1T Washington. D. g., iu.
forming inc that the well known
ne. er-giveit up women suffrage la
dies, Miss Anthony x Co.., havc.in
consequence Of all the Western
papers clamoring for manageable
women, organized themselves into
a National Nuptiai Association. '
which shall from the congcstcd
parts of the United States under
take to provide a continual supply
of manageable women for those
places whore they are in demand.
This will in one respect be a
great comfort to you: instead of
clamoring for more women, as you
have been in the habit of doing.
YOU will only have to drop Il postal
to the company in Washington, the
same as You would order any dry
or wet goods. and receive the or
dered number of dansels. But on
the other side there must be dang
or for such OF us as would like to
preserve their freedom and indie
pendencc. as undoubtedly these
imported ladies will be required to
use to full extent their Leap Year
privileges to accomplish their mar
riage without loss OF time.
Now Major, what are YOU going
to do in the PREMISES Will you
tace the music or retire ike myself
10 the mountains, on the dodge !
If so. make yourself at home with
us in our imprcgnable Leap Year
re reat. Your LEADER, will, asusu-
al, be splcndiGly managed during
vour absence, and while here you
will have the opportunity to write
up with your ablcSt of pencils this
South sile Of the White Oaks
mountains. All the good things
and advantages you have written
about the region around the town
OF White Oaks are true, and more
30 the large stretch Of country |
am overlooking from here, but in
addition | would like to call your
attention to hundreds of ready
made graves, 10 feet deep, I feet
long and ) feet wide.
You will say a free grave will
never entice the capitalists to come
and invest here. rs they as a rule
never like 70 think ot their end,
but | saWthe majority OF these rich
people are miSers, and us Il common
grave at White Oaks costs nj least
80, u large supply Of ready made
graves might encourage migration
10 these parts, especially of per-
sons suicidaIlv Inclined.
\ person benton scit-dcstruction
cannot but feel happy to make Il
tom through foods OF graves, pick
out n to his liking, sit down on
the brink Of it, read his prayer
book, or smoke his pipe as the
case may be-, the write his name
and if he wishes Lis last will on the
head-board, take his pistol or phial
oi acid and step down and out.
Mind, every grave has Il nice
planned head and foot board, on
which we foolish miners have
marked names, &c, Of the miner
al clam but years haye obIitcrut-
ed every writing, and the boards
are clean and ready t~oreceive other
writing.
MY Washington letter informs
me further, that this Association
of ladies, comprising by this time
almost all wives and daughters Of
senators and Representatives pres
ent at the Capital, have without au
thoritv constituted themselves INTO
Il kind of advisory board to Con
gress, i'll the first place to grapple
with the Mormon question, which
they say is no subject at all tor
a Legislators to have anything
to do with.
One lady, the wife of a member
of Congress, is said to have made
a splendid speech, III which she
called it the most foolish idea to
believe that Congress will ever in
t%erfere with the many witedless OF
the Mormons.
She said if she had a right to
Judge others by the tendencies of
her own Lord and Master, our law
makers would sooner practice Po-
lygamy themselves than to make
thousands of more widows in Utah;
that as the case now stands, there
is, according to her statistics, l IS.
