Another Blow at POlygamy.

A Salt Lake special OF Monday the 29th
inst. says: The opinion OF the supreme
court of the territory Saturday evening, in
an appeal in the cases Of Cannon and Mus
sey, WHO are serving terms in the peniten-
tiary for polygamy, brushes the last hope
of the plural-wived elders. In the lower
court Chief Justice Zane held that all that
was necessary to establish unlawful cohabi-
tation under the Edmunds law was proof
that the man occupied the same house with
two women whom he held out as wives,
though no marriage ceremony had ever
been performed and there had been no
actual cohabitation. Zane refused to adj
NIT testimony that Cannon and Mussey
had lived with but one of their wives since
the passage OF the Edmunds law. The SUI
preme court Saturday sustained the chief
justice in every particular, and as cases Of
unlawful cohabitation cannot be carried
beyond this court the prisoners have no
chance OF escaping except to flee. There
were half a dozen arrests on indictment to-
day, among them John Nicholson, editor of
the News, the Mormon organ. Penrose,
the previous editor, was indicted last win
ter, but eluded the officers, and is now in
England

N o event in the last 20 years has
created so profound and widespread
an interest among New York shipping
merchants, steamboatmen and yachts
men as the performance q short time
ago of the little steam yacht Stlletto
in beating the fast steamer Mary Pow
ell. The Stiletto is conceded to have
shown speed of "a miles an hour in
her race with the Mary Powell, which
was up the Hudson river. Since that
event, wherever the little boat has ap-
peared, she has been greeted with a
chorus Of steam whistles, and has ex-
cited the most eager curiosity. 1t is
stated that il the principles Of her con-
struction were applied to large sea-
going steamer, the trip across the At
1antic could be made in three or four
days. Whether they can or will be 80
applied appears to be undecided at

While woman suffrage in this coun-
try has it's ups and downs, and per-
haps more downs than ups, in Eng
land the whole controversy is shortly
to be brought to a focus in the candi-
dacy of Helen Taylor, a step-daughter
of the late John Stuart Mill, for aseat
in parliament. 1t appears that while
there is no recognition in law OF wom-
an s eligibility to this honor, there is
no lazy to prevent her winning it If she
can. The cable says that the lady is
likely to get The election. If so, the
commons may have worse job on
it's hands than Bradlaugh.

Rev. DR.. Parkhurst, in the July num-
Der of the North American Review, re-

Christianity is declining, by q mass
of facts and statistics that are alb

adds DR.. Parkhurst-"from Chris
tianity betraying the first symptoms
Of exhaustion, there has been no time
since the Jordan baptism OF Jesus when
Christianity has moved with such
gigantic strides, and put forth efforts

tators of Paine have been most agile IN
their production of obituaries and &C.

The Grant museum will henceforth
be one OF the most interesting features
of Washington. The collection COM
prises something like two hundred ar

of George Washington, which attract
the earnest attention OF every visitor
to the Smithsonian institution where

than it can be produced with profit to

Bank OF New York, having been convicted.

hand on the rail and lifted his eyes to the
: judge, who said: zse: y,
James D. Fish, you are charged by the
grand jury with many offences against the
laws OF the United States After a fair and
misrepresentation of funds OF the bank OF
which you we're president. You were also
found guilty Of making false entries in the
books of the bank while in that position.
The verdict of the jury was that you were
guilty. The evidence clearly showed there
could be no doubt as to yourguilt. Amore
shameful or a more lawless abuse OF the pow
ers Of /, president of a national bank can
scarcely be imagined. tits proper, therefore,
that full punishment should be meted out
to you, and in order that others may lie de-
that the full penalty OF the law be pro
nounced on you. A merciful consideration
for your age fOrbids cumulative sentence.
The sentence OF the court is that you shall
be confined in the prison at Auburn for ten
years.

showed agitation in no way. He. walked

Story of Riel's Right Hand Men.
Gabriel Dumont and DUMAS were inter
viewed in Helena, Montana, and talked
freely regarding the rebellion. They say
Riel was not the leader. but merely an adj
wiser.
We didn't have time to prepare. Our in
tentions were not to war against the gov
eminent; our intentions, as ! understood
the matter were just to make the govern
nent fulfill it's promises. Our supplies were
rather short. There is no truth in the re-
port that we received arms and ammuni-
ton from St Paul. Mr.. Dumont's loss was
about 81 900, and the losses OF our PEG,
pie were very great. They ale in very bad
fix; about two thirds OF them are almost
entirely destitute. l think the government
will be lenient to the people. The trouble
will have the effect of making it hold to the
treaty. think Riel will be set at liberty.
I don't think he will be hung Big Bear did
not take any part in the rebellion. We in
tend to become American citizens. We will
try to bring our families here if we get sui
ficient aid to do SO. We were outnumbered
four to one. We did what we could. Our
force all told was 475. When the ammuni-
ton got short those that had none retreat
ed. We had plenty of ammunition else
where, but couldn't get at it. think Riel
escaped from Batoche before he was cap
turcd.
