The New York Tri6tme's Utah edito-
rial correspondent says: The Mormon
plan for solving the polygamy problem
is to secure the admission of Utah dur
ing the coming winter as a state.
Every argument, every consideration
likely to have weight in Washington,
will be put forward to persuade Con-
gress to pass an enabling act, thus
placing the polygamy and other ques-
tions entirely at the control of the
MormOns. The Tribune says: On its
face this would seem an impossible
scheme, but we have seen enough of
democratic rule in congress to know
what a bourbon majority means. The
state of Utah would elect two demo-
Gratis to the United States senate,
would east three electoral votes for the
democratic candidate for president,
would, in ease of an election by the
house, give Il vote which would neutra-
LIE that of Puritan Massachusetts.
There j. a stake here for which thc
democratic party might be desperate
enough to play.

A WELL KNOWN LADY.-Mrs. John F. Brinkerhoff, of Highland, Ulster Co.,, N Y., came to Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout, and said to him "Doctor, 1 am afflicted with dis ease for which all the medicines I have tried have proved worthless; and thus far none of the physicians have consulted have been able materially to assist me. have applied now to you as g last resort. believha if any Jman under God can help me it must be yourself. i" Dr. Kennedo, on ascertaining the precise char acter of Mrs. Brinkerhoff's complaint, said frankly and at once: "Madame you cannot be absolutely cured by any power at present with in the resources of medical science. sI could apply THE KNIFE, but tlieS operation would probably destroy your life." Then on pre- ceiving the dependency into which his honest words had thrown the patient lady, the Doc tor added: 'I cannot give you perfect liberty from your disease, but can remove many of the distressing symptoms of your difficulty l; can prolong your life indefinitely and render it comfortable and mostly free from pain. This can do by, means of what call my Favorite Remedy. which you have only to take as directed" The patient, frightened of her mental load, gratefully promised to obey the kind advice and went her way.

 A short time since she sent the following message by friend, who was going to Ron- dout; ''Call on Dr. Kennedy, and tell him have used the Favorite Remedy, as he direct ed. and that it has done all and even more than he promised. It has afforded me so much relief so much comfort, that I would not, cannot do without it. Tell him, too, that he is welcome to use my name. Yes can. and I will recommend Dr. Kennedys Favorite Remedy always as a medicine superior to all others for the cure of those complaints to which our sex are so liable. My word for it, the medicine can do all that the Doctor claims for it." Our druggists keep it. 30-4w

MARVELLOUS EsCAPE.-At Cincinnati last:
sunday 4-year-old boy, who was leaning out.
OF the fourth story of a tenement house, lost his
balance and started whiriing dowa toward the
orick povement, fifty feet below. On the porch
OF the third story, Immediately below him, stood
= niue g,rl lo years old, the daughter of one Of
the residents of that floor. She saw the how
coming, and by an instinct or purpose, which
amounted to heroism, put out her arm to try to
save the boy. She did catch him at the risk Of
being dragged over herself and of falling with,
MN: of course she could not hold such q weight
but her arm was just strong enough to turn the
course OF his fall, so that he landed on her feet
on the floor of the third porch. His head struck
the 6aluster, and he had an ugly cut on his fore
head and one eye was considerably injured, but
his life was saved. The little girls arm was
famed, cut not broken. She said she saw him,
coming, and just thought she might save him if.
she would put out her arm, and she did IT,.

the same battlefield. A tender fathers
hand gathered their remains together and
buried them in the same grave, over which
he raised shaft bearing on the northern
face the name Of him who had worn the
blue and on its southern face the name of
him who had worn the gray. On the wes

This monument


Perpetuates tho memory


OF those


Whe
True to the instincts of their birth.
Faithful to the teachipgs of their fathers,
Constant in their love for the State,


Died in the performance


Of their duty;


Have glorifed a fallen cause
By the simple manhood Of their lives.
Ihe patient endurance of suffering,
And the hcroism of death


And who,
In the dark hours Of imprisonment,
In the hopelessness of the hospital,
In the short, sharp agony of the field,


Found


Their support and consolation


In the belief
That at home they would not be forgotten.
On the rear die stone the following:


Let the stranger,


Who may in future times


Read this inscription,
Recognize that these were men
Whom Power could not corrupt,
Whom Death could not terrify
Whom Defeat could not dishonor.
And let their virtues plead for Just Judgment
or the cause in which they perishcd


Let the South Carolinan


OF another generation
Who may read this roll of honored names


Remember


That the State taught them


How to live and how TO die,
And that from her b.oken fortunes
She has left to her children
The one priceless legacy of their memories.
Teaching all who may


Claim the same br.hright
Truth, Courage and Patriotism


Endure forever.

An important decision rendered yesterday by
Judge Larremore in the matter of the petition of the
Trustees of st. Thomas Church to have an as
sessment vacated. The following is the decision
which, in addition to giving the law governing the
case cites the acts:-"The irreguarty alleged as
ground for vacating the assessment is failure to ad-
vertse the resolution under which the was per-
formed in the Corporation newspapers. pursuant
TO the provisions of the seventh section of the
charter of 1857. Under the act of 1874 chapter $780,
the omission to make such advertisement is not
irregularity for which an assessment can be va
Gated, and except in cases where repaving has
been done and the property has previously paid

In regard to the objections to the regularity OF
the SALE deem IL sufficient to state that after exan


ing the various statutes relied upon by the learned
counsel for the petitioner am of the opinion that
the act of 1871 chapter 1871 intended to prescribe
and does prescribe the only notices which shall be
served and the procedure which shall be followed in
selling lands for the nonpayment of taxes and
ments in the city of New York and that have failed
visions of section of said have been strictly
followed by the Clerk of Arrears. There was 70
postponenent of the sale, but continuance from
time to time until 1t completed. The statute
does not require that notice of such continuance
should be advertised. Any other construction would
lead to the absurdty that ii the sale not COM
plcted on the day for which it first advertised
notice would have to be published from day to day
that the sale was still i'll progress of the opin
ion, therefore, that the prayer of the petitioners

ment of the learned counsel for the plaintiff am
not prepared to hold that this not valid and
binding agreement on the part of the plaintiff. An


injunction should not be granted pendente lite except
in perfectly clear case and do not regard this
such a case. Prma facie the agreement was valid and
the plaintiffs Todd Co.. should not be allowed to
retain the benefit of such of its provisions

dsadvantageous. 1t may possibly be that after the
trial Of the issues raised by the peadngs at the Spe
cia Term and upon the full examination of the facts
which be had at such trial the Court may deter
mine to grant All injunction. but the afidavits be-
