Very few people know the mean
 ing of the expression, Sending to
 Coventry" Of course every one knows that when person IS sent to this place he suffers a sort Of social ostracism, but few can tell why the cause of that ostracism should be connected with an ap- parently harmless place like Gov entry. Coventry was Tn fact a garrison town, where the soldiers wers such libertines that any wo- man seen speaking to one lost her repu ation then and there. To a soldier, therefore, being "sent to Coventry" would mean the dis favor and consequent lack Of SO ciety. The modern application o1 tho phrase now becomes appareht

The Abrogation of Polygamy.

SALT LAKE, March 19.-The church organ breaks silence to- night for the first time on the rumor of the coming abrogation of polygamy at the spring confer ence. It argues against it, but does not absolutely deny it, and admits that a portion of the church favors the step. It closes long editorial saying: "Members of the church who feel and talk favor ably for the abrogation of doc trinal points are the reverse of strong They probably belong to a class who believe in the full
 ness of the gospel as restored
 through Joseph Smith and almost
 wish they didn't, or. at least, that
 it was not true. * x They
 desire to adhere to the church be-
 cause they cannot rid themselves
 of the conviction that it is the
 power of God unto salvation, but
 they would like its doctrines and
 ways more in conformity with
 those of the world, that every spe-
 cies of friction which causes dis
 comfort and temporal disadvan-
 tage might be avoided. In fact,
 they are conservative Mormons * But, coming back to the starting point, all anticipations and predictions regarding the re ception of revelations to the , church are necessarily premature

A famous aronaut says that no balloon has ever gone over a sec ond sunset. The moment the sun
 goes down the gas condenses and you get through the night better than the day. But the next day, in the presence of the sun, the gas expands and you mount to great elevations, but every mount the balloon makes cripples its power, and it is only question of hours, if not minutes, how long you can keep up. If an @ronaut could have forty-eight hours of night he could travel a great distance. The high est rate of speed he had ever at tained, even with a strong wind blowing, was eighty miles an hour

Magruder'S Goat.

Mrs Magruder's baby is carried out
Ivy the nurse now, since the accident to
its carriage. Magruder thought it
would be a good idea to have a tame
goat t"pull at the coach, and he bought
one for that purpose ; but n day tho
goat met another goat that differed
from him in politics or religion. and
each undertook to convince the other
ty jamming him in the ekn'l. Every
time Magruder's goat would real up
preparatory to making a plunge for
ward. Magruder's baby wonld lurch
over backward. and when Magruder's
goat struck the other goat the concus
sion would shake the milk in the baby's
stomach iuto butter. Aud sometimes
the other goat wonld aim at Magruder's
goat, which would dodge, and then the
other goat would plunge headforemost
into the coach apd smash the baby mp
in the most frightfnl manner. And in
the midst of the hcontest "A couple Of
dogs joined in and Magrhder's goat
backed off and tilted the coach into the
gutter. and the dogs biting around
kind of generally, wonld snap at the
goat and cause it to whirl around Just
in time for the bite, until at last the
goat got dislleartened and sprang
through the fence. leaving the coach
on the other side, aud it struggled fran
tically to escape, while tbs other goat
crowded up against the baby, in order
to avoid the dogs, and finally knocked
the baby out. and bntted the coach to
spliuters. They say the way Mrs. Ma
gruder eyed Magruder that afternoon.

tilated and hishev+led. was simply aw
ful to behold !; but she didn't speak to
him for a week, and he had to soften
her down by buying her an ostrich feath
or for her winter hat. The goat is still
at large. Anybody who wants him can
have him free of charge. Magruder
doesn't recognize the animal when he
meets him upon the street.-Max Adel

!
budget of our parish expenses, and
should attract the serious attention
of our Police Jury. This item
alone costs the parish more than
five thousand dollars annually,
nearly one fourth of the total taxa
ton of Iberville. Most of it is for
witness fees. Every criminal that
is arrested has a swarm of witnes
ses summoned to testify to his i'm
maculate purity and innocence
which entails an outrageous and
unnecessary burden upon the tax
payers.
The Police Jury of St. Mary par
ish has taxed action OH the subject
aud passed an ordinance limiting
the number OF witnesses in criminal
matters to four for the State and
four tor the defense, to be paid 10y
the parish. We are not sufficient
~ versed in legal matters to pass
an opinion upon this point, but we
have no hesitation in saying that
some rigid measures should be
adopted to curtail this growing
evil.
During the present session of
our District Court we were forcibly
struck with the remark of a prOmi
nent colored man OF Crosse Tete,
on this subject, who publicly re
marked, as a large number Of color
ed witnesses were entering the car
to go home, "Court having adjourn
ed over until Monday-the crimi
Nal docket not being completed
will cost the parish fifteen hundred
dollars and result III five hundred
lies"
The New Iberia Enterprise las
this to say on the subject
"As our Police Jury manifest IL
disposition to retrench in expendi
lures where such course can be pru
IDENTIFY done,and reduce taxation to
limits that will meet the exigencies
of the public needs. we would sug
gest a modification of the existing
practice in summoning witnesses
in criminal cases, to conform to
the plan pursued in st. Mary par
iSh. The Police Jury there decided
that no more than four witnesses
for the State and four for the de
Tense should be paid by the parish.
Four witnesses on either side
would be as good as four hundred,
as each party would produce their
best men. The State would not
need more and the defense could
nave them ad Hbitum, by footing
the bills for all over the four allow
ed by law. Retrenchment IS the
order of the day, and all parish
money leaks ought to be stopped
right away. One single cattle
stealing suit has cost the parish
$500 for witness fees, and has just
begun. 1t is time to put a stop to
such wholesale plumber of the hon
est taxpayers of the parish. When
our Police Jury meet they might
make a note Of the witness outrage
matter, correct the evil by prompt
action and let it's influence be- felt
and manifested in making up their
budget for the coming year. Such a
course would elicit from their consti
tuents the hearty commentator of
well done. good and faithful ser
wants. which is more to be desired
than a sulky acquie 'cence in their
acts by a dissatisfied public. A
needless waste of money is as cuI
pable as a penny wise economy,
and true wisdom lies in avoiding
the extremes OF either side, and
keeping in the channel of a we'll de
fined and carefully weighed policy

conducted TO Camp U. S. Grant. On arriv-
ing there it was found that the quarters
which had been assigned to it were occu-
pied by Connecticut men, and it was some
time before other quarters were obtained.
Baggage was delayed and not until four
o'clock were all prepared to retire. But
little rest, therefore, was obtained that
night This, however, was exactly what
most of the party had expected and there
was no complaining When Tuesday came
it was found that the Vermonters were dis
tributed promiscuously about the camp. AT
half-past ten o'clock the Vermont division
was called out and, escorted by the Rutland
and Montpelier bands, was conducted to
Atlantic street to wait for its position at the
head of the fifth grand division of the pro-
cession. 1t was not until nearly one o'clock
that this position was obtained and the
great column began to move. All along the
route of the procession the Vermonters were
Justify cheered. Wednesday was spent in
excursions to the various islands and beaches
and in looking over the Forest City. Thurs
day the western Vermont posts, together
with the Rutland band, left for home. The
Washington county battalion did not break
camp until Friday morning. Before leav-
ing the camp a man was fitted up to repre-
sent jeff Davis and was led exultingly
through the streets of Portland on his way
to the historic sour apple tree" Among
the pleasing incidents of the journey to Port
land was the manner of passing the time of
long delay at Fryeburg, forty-nine miles
from Portland, occasioned by hot box "
ON one of the Pullman cars comprising the
great western train, which preceded that
bearing the Green Mountain boys. 1t was
nearly ten o'clock and fires were kindled at
different points along the track, rail fences
were lifted" and the veterans had, to a
certain extent, a repetition of the scenes of
camp-life, which to them were so familiar.
Imaginary picket lines were formed, men
detailed to go for water, cook coffee and
prepare meal, while others remained to
"picl< off the gray-backs." To those unac-
customed to these sights the picture, though
incomplete, was strikingly weird and pleas
ing. The homeward trip was uneventful.
Among the prominent Vermonters present
at the encampment were Lieutenant-gov.
