THREE members OF the alleged
"house," a reading clerk and record
ing clerk, went through the motions OF
meeting and adjourning at Newport
yesterday. The farce is so evident that
none of the Democrats from outside the
city take the pains to waste the car or
boat fare necessary to get to the capital
city. The average Democrat hesitates
about putting out hard cash unless he
can see it coming back to him with
interest accrued, and the present situ-
alton extends no such bright promise to
him.

While the particulars "a to the origin
Of the fire are not at hand, 1t is safe to

THE METHODIST AND THE
MORMON.

Once on . time for victory set,
A Methodist and Mormon met,
Determined each to prove his faith
BY what the Holy Scripture saith.
The Mormon said: "While man sur
wives
He ought to have dozen wives;
The Patriarchs Of old lived thus,
And they pattern are to u.s."
The Methodist ct once averred,
"Of plural wives there's not . word
OF Gods command within His book,
And 50 you'll and II you but look"
Said Mormon, "In the Revelation,
The gate for every age and nation,
Through which the Saint for heaven
embarks,
Is named for Israel's Patr iarchs,
And every one that's numbered there
Had many wives-at least pair
So II yos reach that blissful state,
YouIl pass through . polyg'mous gate"
'.You Mormons," said the Meth0 dist,
s'May think your own opisioS best;
But Christ said, "When Gods work
was done,
He gave to Adam only one."
"Altho' We may but little know
OF those twelve men, dare you show
A single case In each ones life
That ever took more than one wife.
I own, some famous men, more bold,
Did "msr,y D;vss" in days Of old,
Blu. you cannot produce SON
OF Jacob that had more than one."
The Mormon being thus addressed,
Thought abse~es would become him
best,
So to his heels he did betake,
And made for Utah's briny Lake.
And now, II any he 80 blind
Thus to degrade fair womankind,
May he be doomed . score Of wives,
To piaeee and bsat him all their lives.
And 90. kind reader, II you'll look
In Genesis, the opening book,
In its last portion you will see
These Patriarchs' true history.
And then II any doubts be rife,
That those men had but each one wife,
I'll give Bible worth pound,
TO show me where the proof IL found.
