Some people have raised q jubllation over
the fact that Judge Mexican Of Utah has render
ed decision in favor Of Brigham Young's
plucky affinity" This decision is reported to
have been 30 far in Ann Eliza's favor that the
old reprobate is forced to pay her alimony OF SO
much month since the suit WAS first instituted,
the total amount thus declared to be due her
coming to several Thousand dollars. 1t seems
not unreasonable from one view that Mrs. Ann
Eliza Young should be recompensed in this way
for her misery and trouble, and no one would
grieve if Brigham were bled to still livelier
tune, not only by q single wife but by all his
wives and until he had not the wherewithal to
continue his questionable housekeeping. No
sympathy ID felt for the woman tyrant by those
who still hold that the award of the Utah Judge
was made upon false principles.


The position Of those who who believe that
Ann Eliza has no claim to this alimony is this
She was not legally married to Brigham Young.
She was not married TO him at all as our law de-
fines marriage. She had Il husband living, and
she knew that Brigham had a wfe-a legal wife,
besides the ahinities which he was pleased to
call his wives. How then had she any claim at
legally married woman So far as the law il
concerned, the case appears pretty plain, though
it may be Justly said, still, that the helpless
situation in which the Mormon women have
been placed, under the tyranny of the Mormon
organization, left them no liberty of choice, ant
that they could not be held responsible. for theil
own act when they submitted to be " sealed" il
the Mormon fashion.

BY a kind of thoughtful arrangement
on the part of their employers, every
domestic in the house of Sir John Day
ton, baronet and bankerr received his or
her salary one week before Christmas
Day.


Very bright and tempting looked the
tiny pile of sovereigns that Lottie
Warde, Miss Dayton's own maid, car
ried away to her chamber, and sat med
itating over, with cloud on her pretty
face such as it seldom wore. Last
Christmas the spending of her money
had cost her no trouble, except quick
ly stifled regret that she could not do
more with it for those dear ones, whose
kisses and joyful thanks had been such
pleasant requital of her generosity.


Although she was as dutiful and low
ing daughter and as kind sister as
of yore, there had been an event in
Lottie's life since the year began that
was closely connected with the impa-
tient sigh she gave, as she sat gazing at
her gold, and abstractedly turning it
over and over in her palm. She had
met, at the house of an old friend of
her late father, young man so well
connected that many wonder ed he
should think of wedding girl who was
"in service" Mr.. Charles Morrison,
they argued, with his good prospects
and excellent situation in the office of
Smithson Brothers, ought TO look

whose mothers sole dependence was

forgot them. He loved Lottie for her.
self-her sweet temper, her good prin-
ciples, and the pretty face and figure,
that were always set off by the perfect
neatness and propriety with which she
dressed.


Lottie, however, had taken to heart
many of the remarks made in her pres
ence or told 10y ill-natured friends, and
had rather hastily decided in her own
mind that the relatives Cf her affianced
husband looked down upon her because
of her position. This fancy-for it was
no more-had made her shy of meeting
them, and unwilling to accept the invi-
tatons SO kindly sent to her. But
Charlie had made a point of her acced-
ing to his parents wish that she should
join the family party they always gath
cred round them at their handsome
house at Chapman on the eve of the
great festival and as Miss Dayton had
cheerfully consented to spare her, she
had not been able to excuse herself,


Naturally timid and shrinking from
strangers, Lottie looked forward to this
visit as an ordeal rather than pleas

The Proctor suit is at an end. Yes
terday the defense made formal over
lures TO the prosecution for COM
promise and settlement, which, after
consultation with their client. the
attorneys for Miss Proctor concluded

climax last night. 1t was then agreed
that at the opening of the court this
morning, proposition should be made
by ex-Judge Fullerton to have the case
referred, which proposition should,
after some argument, be agreed TO !;
and that x-District-Attorney Benjamin
Silliman should be selected rs referee.
1t was further stipulated that Miss
Proctor should come forward and testi.
fy that Moulton's allegations as TO her
illicit connection with Beecher were in
every respect false. 1t was further
stipulated that Moulton himself should
make affidavit that he knows of his own
knowledge nothing whatever against
Miss Proctor's character, and that the
libel to which he gave utterance was
based wholly upon hearsay 1t was
further stipulated that Moulton should
make an apology to Miss Proctor and
that he should pay all the costs incurred
on both sides, thus far in the suit
amounting to over $4,000; that in con-
sideration of the foregoing Miss Proctor
would claim no pecuniary damages
against Moulton, but would rest satisfied
with the vindication of her character, ana
that the referee should make report IN
consonance with these conditions,
and thus end the great suit.-BrooStyn

Before morning Mrs. Foster was at
Alice's bedside--trying, In vain, to soothe
the delirium of her fever. Her one effort
seemed to be to tear the Scapular from her
neck. Don't bury me in that ugly brown
habitn she would cry out Katie, bring
me that soft white tulle for veil enough
to reach to my very feet. Bring me, too,
some sprigs of the clematis that climbs
over the garden gate. 1 will tell you how
to dress me for my burial. But no: there
are white rosobuds and delicate vines of
smilax which l like better and thus the
wild fancies chased each other through her
brain.


SIN vain was the ice laid on her throb-
bing temples. In vain was every remedy

with one shrill cry, fell back on her pillow

nor so very brilliant but there was
a piquant charm about her that at.

the first day was over. BY the end
of the second day everybody, from
the captain to the ships surgeon,
and from the surgeon to the cabin
boy, was eager to show her atten-
ton and everybody was met by the
same genial smile and lively retOrt.


She won her way at once into my
heart by the kindly thought that led
her to bring little relishes from the
table to tempt my sickly appetite,
and to sooth my forehead with bay
water, and gentle touches of her
shapely brown hands, where a great
emerald gIittered, encircled by dia-
monds. Very soon she got in the
habit of drawing my rug beside my
chair, and sitting on the deck lean
ing against me, so that might "pet
her." as she said.

In this county the Ottumwa Dem
0cr0t vouclled for the genuineness OF
Capt. Kitterman's democracy, two
weeks ago. The Captains attention
was directed to it, and he did not
cause it to be denied by the Democrat,
SO his status must now be fixed. j..
w. Dixon declared in his speeches
during the campaign that he was now
a Democrat, and also SO declared to
several citizens, therefore his political
status may be considered fixed. We
wish these things to be made a mat

no longer be deemed by these gentle
men as slandering them when we call
them Democrats.

AS the returns come in from the
more remote counties of Iowa, the
Republican majority continues to in
crease. This is because in the rural
districts the liquor question did not
assume such prominence as to disturb
the solidity Of the Republican vote.


On the contrary, in Ohio, as the re-
turns come in from the more inaccess-
ible parts of the State, the Republic
an majority is cut down, because
the fallacious doctrine of more green
backs, and consequently meaner or
less valuable greenbacks, had gained
such hold upon the people that it has
been impossible to correct the sophis-
try of the pleas in behalf Of more pa
per money.

In the city the election was hotly
contested. In most of the rural pre-
cincts the Democrats were the best or.


ganized. In several townships tho Re-
publicans did glorious work. The
fact is, over confidence, not little dis.
satisfaction on some county candidates,
and the, to ne, terribly difficult ques-
tion as to the proper method of con-
trolling the sale Of liquor (chiefly the
latter stumbling blcck), have done the
work for US. We have no complaint
to make of any of our Republicans.


II there be those who we think have
erred, it will be folly for us to upbraid
them. II the severe, though partial
defeat we have sustained will not be
an effectual teacher, nothing from us
will do so. We need, everybody

the outset Of the campaign, before our
county tickets were nominated, our
judgment taught ns that on our lcgis-
lative ticket we would have q terrible
fight, with the result hardly to be con-
sidered favorable. The Anti Monop

lieved not nearly go dangerous to us

fact is, it was almost impossible to
