Mormon Thrift and Economy.

The city OF Salt Lake is practically
without debt. Its bonds, to the amount
OF $3.50. 600, to aid in the construction of
a canal, over twenty miles long, to bring
an adequate supply of fresh water from
Utah lake, have already been largek re-
deemed, though the term Of the loan has
but half expired.
\ people who have by patient endeavor
and community converted sterile region
into a garden spot, by irrigation, natur-
ally become imbued with notions Of thrift
and economy-public as well as private.

an eminently practical religion. The

Capture of General CrespO.


News WAS received by private telegram
to a local merchant on Thursday that .
British man Of-war had arrive at Trim
dad reporting the capture of General
CrpSpo, the rival claimant to the
Venezuelan presidentShip. Whether the
General was ON board the war vessel, or
by whom he was captured, is not mention
ed in the brief message which has been
received. CreSpo, who had been residing
i'll POrt-0f.Spain for Il considerable time,
engaged in preparations fer a revolution,
left 1t about a fortnight ago, Ostensibly
for Martinique. His movements had been
so closely watched by the Venezuelan
Government that his departure must have
been notified to headquarters without de.
lay, and probably one of the few vessels
the Government possess was sent after
him to effect his capture. From the 0pin-
on OF men who have recently arrived here
from Venezuela, it seems to be certain
that the extinction of Crespo is equival-
ent to the suppression of the opening
revolution, there being no man able to
take his place with any reasonable chance
of success. For the sake Of the country
itself, the premature termination of the
movement must be regarded as a blessing ,

AT a pnblic meeting in Edinburgh some

This appears to be an excellent illuStra-

theological questions before they are old
enough to grasp the difference between
worldly tact and divine allegory.
Much more To the point, and "A splendid
specimen of childlike reproach, was the re-
ply Of a little urchin, who, with his broth
ss&2 and sisters, were always scolded by
their grandfather Whenever they dared to
invade the precincts OF his library.

Children frequently put puzzling qneS-

subjects, as is evincrd 10y the one wIiicn Il
smart boy, who had been reading the news

Children, if permitted, Will sometimes
try to argue a question; but it is seldom
that they venture on closing an argument,
when ii is particularly addressed to them.
a certain Aunt Betty was, however, try

to bed, and by the way of argument, said
that all the little chickens went to ro"St
