¥;>c, Pious Dead Beats.
The persistency, not Jo say "cheek,"
of some charitable solicitors, is aston-
ishing, A sanctimonious looking per-
son made his appoarance at the resi-
dence of a clergyman, near Hartford,
Conn., and stated the object of his
visit, which was to secure funda aid
for a Western college. After some
conversation, the agent said: "What
I want is this,.that you will direct me
to people of wealth who are in the
last stages of consumption, or who are
hereditarily disposed to appoplexy. I
find this class of people are more easily
reached than those who possess íneans
and are in the possession of perfect
health. In one Western town 1 found
a gentleman who had received two
apoplectic strokes, and ho put our
college in his will for $15,000, and a
lady, consumptively inclined, gave us
$10,000. Neither are dead yet, but
you soe the importance of getting
eiich people on the right side," The
clergyman, after listening to this
"argument," said that the members of
his church were, so far as he knew, in
the enioymeut of good health, and it
would be impossible tí select any who
gave promise of an early death. The
agupt, upon looking about the town
further, ascertained that the general
health of the community was too good
for speculation with death, and decided
to leave at once for some other locality .

Mo vim on Mortality.
If the statements just now current
about the mortality among the children
of the Mormon polygatnists are reli-
able, they aro certainly very note-
worthy. It is said that the entire death
rate among the Mormons, Of all ages,
ij^ea^r than that of the city of New
is probably tho most uilíióalWif' $$$Sli
the United States. Of 60 deaths in
Salt Lake city in one month, 4i were
of children. Aud these, it is notice-
able are not so much the children of
tho poorer saints, who arc compelled
to content themselves with a singlo
wife or so, but of the nch and pros-
perous "apostles." and "elders." Thus
Hcbcr Kimball, one of the very elect,
has lost 48 children out of. bis family
of 03 children. Another dignitary has
lost 28 children, another 20, and a
third I?, and tho famous «Toe Smith,
the founder and father of Mormonism,
with his six wives, leaves to the world
only two sons to uphold bis name and
defend his fame. Now all this looks
very much as. though the laws of Na-
ture, as well as tho word of God, were
against polygamy.—Ex.

A laundress gives us the following
recipe for doing up shirt bosoms. Any
lady who desires to make home *
will <lo well to try the experiment. It
will be found a sovereign antidote to
that perilous stuff ^faich weighs upon
the heart—an ill-ironed and ill-fitting
shirt bosom t Take two ounces of fine
white gum arabic powder, put into a
pitcher end pour on a pint or more wa-
ter, and t hen having covered it let it
stand all night. In the morning pour
it carefully from tho dregs into a clean
bottle, cork it and keep it for use. A
tablespoonfal of gum water «tared j©
a pint of starch made in the usual
manner will give to lawns, white o*
printed, a look of newness when noth-
ing frtse can restore them after they
have been washed.

The second largest dairy in America
is located about four mites from St.
Louis. There are eight hundred cows
in the stables. They are all attended
by Swiss cow milkers. The chief food
used i# ground corn, mixed with malt
And oil moal. cookod by Bteam. A large
mill is owned And run by the proprie-
tors. The average amount of material
consumed at this dairy per day is four
hundred bushels of corn meal, fifteen

It is ho
learn, they genorally refrain from con-
at rioting or otherwise moiestiag
inhabitants. They catch rats
"gobulafco" tiiem, and now and then a
monkey mysteriously disappears. Per-
haps, as Herculean exploits belong to
the fabulous ages, it would not be qüito
t-afe to trust small black bubios alone
with theia. But tough and indigestible
adults are porfectly safe. We asked
to see "the snake" at a warehouse
which we visited. Ho was hauled
from his lair in some back room or
closet by a negro, who held him by
gripping his neck jest behind his head.
The snake appeared to be familiar with
this rather ignominious tnode of ap-
pearing In society, as ho only express-
ed his emotions in a series of fatuous
and imbecile wriggles, and when re-
leased coiled himself deliberately upon
the floor, and proceeded to take "forty
winks," like the fat boy of Pickwickian
memory. We stopped a street vender
who had a barrel of snakes for sale.
Discerning in us possible purchasers,
he tipped them upon the pavement and
stirred them about with his foot, ex-
hibiting their fine points to the best
advantage, and informed us, in Portu-
guese, that thoy were much better
snakes than usual, and that if we
missed that chance we were not the
men he took hs for. On consideration
we loft the snake-man cursing and
bundling his snakes back into tho
barrel.—/Ta/per 'a May. far Sept.

The office is one of as much digni*y
and importance as that of President,
one in fact that requires as much intel-
lect and integrity, and much greater
study and quite as much judgment as
that of President. The Supreme Court
is charged with the duty of reviewhi
the action of both the President
Congress, and is really the. most exalt-
ed of the three departments of the
government. No President of the
nited States has left a prouder record
than Chief Justice Marshall.—Civilian.
