BANQUET TO CHARLES DICKENS.
LIVERPOOL, April 10-Midnight.-A banquet
to Charles Dickens was given this evening at
St. George's Hall, in this city. About soven
hundred g3ntlemon sat down to the table, and
Lhere wero also many spectators. The hall
was gracefully decorated with fligs an 1 ban?
ners. The proceedings wore characterized
throughout with good feeling and enthusiasm.
8?r Henry Houghton and Hepworth* Dixon
presided. After the usual toasts had been
drunk, Lord Duff .Tin ma Jo a pleasant speech.
He regretted that Mr. Dickens had n it entered
the field of politics. He would have boen a
power in the Houso of Commons, and a
fellow peer of Macaulay. Lord Lytton,
at length, in glowing terms, proposed
the health of Charles Dickens, when Mr.
Dickens arose, &iC, with much emotion,
responded. He said he felt be was unable to
do justice to his feelings. Liverpool, after
I/$adon, was always loremost in his estimation.
She was always ready to respond, open-hand?
ed and munificently, to all appeals for aid to ort
and literature. R {erring to the romarks of
Lord Deffeno, Mr. D.ckens said that, after
mature d?lib?ration, be bad decided to stand
and fall by literature, and not to enter politics.
Thus far be had not regretted his decision.
Anthony Trollope also responded to a senti?
ment. He euiogizod Washington Irving, Mr.
Motley, and the American people. The latter
were uiways willing to rccoguizo publicly tho
honor due to hteiarj men. Ho closed by
hinting that th? appointment of Charles Dick?
ens os Minister to Washington might "oe bene?
ficial to both countries.

FUNERAL OF TWITCH ELL.
The body ot thc suicido was baned on Satur?
day from tuc house ut' Mr*. .Moore, a family
connection, No. 1030 South Fouith-strcet, hav?
ing been removed from tho pu'son cell on
Thursday, but. by au unaccountable mistako,
they were conveyed to tho late rasidcnco of
Gerald Eaton, near tho prison. Wheu the caso
in which they were enclosed was there opened,
in exciting scene transpired on ascertaining
that tho blunder had been committed. The
body ot tho suicide was very elabora.cly sre
pured f jr thc final rites. It was clothed in a
pure white siiroud, and encased in an elegant
ceffia covered with black cl nh ?md ornamented
with uiver mountings. Rich ofLri .ga of flow?
ers had been made by his themis, and these
were profusely strewed around and over
thc remains. Rev. Mr. Bnnghuist officiated
at the luueral, and thc remains were interred
according to thc ruc* of thc Troteo ant
Episcopal Church, ibo only persons pres?
ent were tho lather and brother of Twitched,
and a few ot his near relatives. Mrs. Twitclicll
was not among the number. Tho nus; studied
arrangemento had been made to have the
adair conducted with tho strictest secrecy and
privacy. But, in spite of this, tho people iu
tho neighborhood had lear^d ol the contem?
plated funeral and an immense crowd ea tiered
about tue house. Mrs. Mooro states that the
last visit paid to TwitckolJ by his wife was on
the evening o? Friday, two weeks ugo." On this
occasion the husband said to the wife: "Ca?
milla, some l.gbt must be thrown upon this
murder." Mrs. Moore said that Twitcbcll told
ber, "that his first impulse on thc night of the
murder was to alarm the neighbors when she
told him of tho deed, but his second impulse
was to screen his wife."
HlSTOSr OF THE TWITCHBLLS -STATEMENT OF
MRS. TWITCH ELL.
The Philadelphia Transaipt publishes thc
followiug interesting details of tho history of
the Twitchell family, not heretofore printed :
Mrs. Twitchell was born ID Washington, her
mother being then known os Mis. Werntz. Her
father was Revolver Speucor, a Methodist
clergyman of, tomo reputation. In 1814, tho
mother a id daughter removed to Cincinnati,
remained there four years, during which time
Camilla was kuorcn as Miss Sawyer, ber moth?
er hiving a married sister ot that name. This
is probably lb? ongm ot the story that Mrs.
Twitchell was tho illegitimate daughter of a
member ot Uo:>gre63 Eruto Ohio. Io 1818, Mrs.
Werntz and daughter carno to Philadelphia,
and the former married Mr. Hill. Shortly
aftciward. Cain lia roamed R enard Martin, a
clerk in a dry giods sure. Al er living to?
ge her five years, Mai tin left his wife, alleging
acts of impropriety on her pjrt, but she took
tho initiative in subsequent proceedings for
divorco. which culminated in a legal seiiiva
tioo in 1833. Camilla thou resumed tho u imo
of Sawyer, returned to her mother's house,
and lived t :cie with her and Mr. Hil). She
then became acquainted with Twitchell. Sr.,
then a widower with several children, includ?
ing George S. Twitchcll, au illegitimate eon,
who had booti born in Brooklyn, bia mother
dying soon after his birth. Camilla was tu
gaged as housekeeper, and removed with
Twitchell, Sr., to New Jersey, lt is denied
most positively by all parties that there was
any impropor intimacy between Mr. Twitchell
and his housekeeper. On the contrary, Camil?
la's conduct is represented to have been
blameless. ' She waa a member of Dr. Lord's
church, i i Broad-street, near Cbostuu., and in
her character as housekeeper was paid regular
wag ?s, and for extra a rviees rccoived extra
pay. When GeorgeS. Twit euell reached man?
hood he was accepted as tho suitor of his fa?
ther's housekeeper, atid in 1854 was married.
Wo have already said that Mrs. Twitchcll
was not yet ready to give to the public a for?
mal s.atement ; but while in prison awaiting
trial, in conversation with prison officials, she
made a partial explanation, which bas never
been published. YYhcu informed of her hus?
band's conviction and thc probabilities of her
own fate, she remarked, '* I know nothing of
tbis mnrder. That aiteruoon Georgo aud I
were oat riding, and when we got back to thu
house mother was getting tea. As Sarah
C 'mpbell had gone o tt, I noticed tha'. G. orgo
was very much de Dressed in spirits. Ho never
was much ot a tal..er. but this night he was
quieter than usual. He scarcely *poke at all.
At the table and after supper I said to mother
there is something tho mattoi- with George.
Suppose you go and talk with him while I clear
away the tlrugB ; iud when I got through I
went to my room, and Georgo was then iu thu
silting room reading tho paper and smoking a
cigar. I went to bcd, and I don't knowhow,
long I slept, when I was aroused hy the cry nw
Sarah Campbell in the kitohen. This ?.s'aflB
only stateuiPut sho ha3 ever mado, whatcwr*
she may 'lave communicated to her counsel.
The Transcript contiuues as follows:
Why Mrs. Twi chell coased hor visits to the
prison, al tho outset, it may bo well to inform
our readers that on tbe day ot tho inquest she
appealed to her husbanu to toll what ho knew
ot'thc murder, and that, if he was guilty, to
act hbo aman and relieve her. This no refus?
ed to do. A.ter ber acquittal sho did call at
the prison, but instead oi thc grcoiing ou her
part being warn aud affectionate, it was as
c x>l a* would naturally be tho case of one who
looked upon ber husband as tli9 murderer of
her mother. Immediately after her acquittal,
Twitchell and his friends commenced paving
tho way to a sta'.eme?t hom Mts. Twitchell,
which would take from him tho charge und
transfer it to his wile. So shrewd were tho
parties ongagod, that one of them visited Dan?
iel Dougherty, Esq., to ascertuiu from him
whether a person onco acquitted on the chargo
of murd-r could bo tried a socond time, al?
though there bo a confession of guilt, ibo re?
sponse being that there could uot be a recoud
trial, the efforts wero renewed wi.Ti le
doubled vigor, until Mrs. Twitchell's frienus
hoard of them aud advised her to absent her?
self from rfrisou. Sho always denied any com?
plicity in the murder, and her tears <>f confes?
sion by him were based ga tho fact that she
knew that he did not believe in tho immortali?
ty ot the BOUI, aud that his professions of
piety wero designed niciely to further hts ef?
forts in ?he came ot life which ho was playing.
O.hers beside herself had everv reason i? teol
assured that bc would not hesitate to sarohis
life, for there ts every reason to believe that at
least one humau beiug, George S. Twnchcll,
Jr., confessed his ' rime aud made himself sole
actor in the tragedy. Throughout this effort
to indu e hi3 w.fo to take upon herself an
unjust ?tccusitiou in order to sive his life,
Twitchell had frequent conversations w.tL her
friends, who, anxuus as they Wf-rc to assis:
him, could not overlook the diimning proofs of
his own guilt. They saw the inherent 1111 TOIJ
abilitie8 ot his coults-uon, and they were anx?
ious to have some parts ot it explained tu tho
satisfaction of the public. A day or two bet?re
his death uis strong love of life lcd him again
to refer to it, and bo remarked to Ins aunt,
Mrs. Moore, "It is hard that I have to die tor
this thing." Mrs. Mooro thcu inquired of the
prisoner, "How eau j ou account or the blood
that was lound on jour shirt?" Twitonell ic
lated to her thc circumstances of tho mulder
in keeping with his So-called confession. Ho
told her how '"lin was amused by his with call?
ing bim; that ho went down into tho dinug
ruoni and was thoro told that she hail quarrel?
led with her mother and had murdered her.
My first impulse was to af?irui thc neighbors,
but my second impulso was lu save
my wile." twitchell then staled to Mrs.
Mooro tho circumstance* attending tho
throwing of tho body (rum the wiuduw. lie
BPierted that he grasped the body ot the mur?
dered woman by tho head aud shoulders, while
his Wlfo took hold ol the feet. fliey then bor.- i
the body ot the wintlow and rested it on tho
sill, in wbiob position it was held by Ttvicholl
while his wile ran down stairs and ?at into tho
yard, immediately under thc window. When
ehe reached this* position Twitchell quietly
lowered the bodv into tho anns of his wife, by
whom it was laid at length upon the pavement.
In this way he accounted for thc circumstance
that thc body was not lound thiown together
os it mirbt have beon if hurled violently from
the window, but laid out in a straightened posi?
tion. Twitchell concluded by fraying that lie
supposed thc blood came upon his clothing bv
his having bold ot the murdered woman in the
manner described Mrs. Moore inquired what
became of Camilla's clothing? How was it that
it was not as bloody as yours? To tliis he
.responded that ber clothing was carried oft".
In thc lace of all those confessions, Mrs.
Twitchell has remained quiet. She realized
that if she denied tho story while her husband
was alive, she would bo accused of an attempt
to insure his death. She was willing not to
tall what she knew it that would bo of any ser?
vice to bim. She was also willing to assist lum
to the extent of ber mean3, bat when be wish?
ed ber to go a step further and assert herself
erin Itv of a crime she did not commit, sbo left
him."
It is anticipated that in a few days Mrs.
Twitchell will make a full statement in her own
behalf.
FOREIGN SUMMARY.
-The ladies of Hungary li ive asked Parlia?
ment to authorize the Queen of Hungary (the
Empress, Elizabeth ot Austria) to appoint
twenty female members of the Hungarian
House of .Magnates.
-Thc Queen of Holland recently made an
attempt at suicide. Domestic troubles are
said to li: ve driven her to tho rash act. Her
lifo was savo.l, however, and stops were taken
to hush up tho whole matter.
-Thc Pope is said lo entertain thc intention
of conferring on the Prin ;o Imperial of Fiance
tho? title of Roman Patrice, which was onco
destined for the Emperor himself, and which
was labt borne by Charlemagne.
-As a proof of tho remarkable decline of
Alexandre Dumas' populan ty as a rom abc ?at, it
is mentioned that tho manuscript of bis last
novel was offered to six publishers, none of
whom would give him more than a few Ihous
and florins for it.
-For the last two years the English military
system has undeigone a severe ordeal from tho
criticisms of the press, and the public mind is
being prepared for the discontinuance of tho
sale of commissions. A more thorough knowl?
edge of the elements of drill and disciplino ie
also perpetually being impressed.
-Mr. Vernon Harcourt, "Historicus," of tho
London Times, is said to bo extremely unat?
tractive in person and manners. One of the
London papers tells tho story as current an;ong
the clubs, that B?X gentlemen mutnally agrood
to dine together, each asking the most unpop?
ular man of his acquaintance to join the p irty,
thus making twelve in all, and that when the
company assembled there were but seven to
sit down to dinner. Each had sclcctod Mr.
Harcourt as Li j most unpopular acquaintance.
-Some rather curious statistics have been
eol'ectel in roferenco to tho composition of
tho British Hon^c of Commons. It is said to
contain 333 university graduates, omong whom
aro 151 of Oxford and 122 of Cambridge. 'Ibero
aro 287 members who were educatotl at public
schools 131 at Eton. 08 at Harrow. 29 at Rug?
by, and tho remainder in emallor numbor i at
otbors. Of tho nobility thcro aro 8 Irish
peers and 106 sons of peers. Tho barristers
number 120, t te members of tho army 98,
thoso iu the navy 13. Cummeroo is rcproscnt
ed by 15 bankers and 13G engaged in other
kinds of business. Thero oro 10 lathers who
have sons sitting with thom in tho House, 21
pairs of brothers, and 3 broth ?ra of ono fatnily.
-Four men and two women have jost beon
tried oeforo tho Tribunal of Correctional Police
of Paris, on a charge of introducing thc Lan?
terne into France. Nearly seven hundred co?
pies of that publication were found at tho resi?
dences of two of the accusod; thcro were also
found a petticoat with eight large pockets, by
the aid of which one of tho females had re?
cently brought from Brussols ono hundred and
. thirty numbers of tho prohibited work, and a
waistcoat, flannel vest and belt; containing m
all twemj-threo receptacles, in which ono of
tho men had mported one nuudred and sev?
enty copies. The accusod wore ?entended lo
termt of imprisonment varying troin twj to
eix months, with tho addi'ion of fines.
-Recent proceedings of thc North German
Confederation force upon Iookorc-oa the con?
viction, which is also universally prevalont in
Germany, that tho present state of things is
merely provisional, and that it is designedly
eucb. At tho present moment,, for ali intents
aud purposes, the twenty-four millions who
make up tho mighty kingdom of Prussia are
living a double p ?litical lifo, and arc ruled by
a double govorntnont. On tho ono aido (.hero
is tho Prasaiao Parli uncut, ?lie Ptusaun Min?
istry and tho Prussian bureauoracy; on the
other bid ? there is the National Parliament,
tho Federal Chancellor, and tho Federal
Chancellor's offije. Tho individuals who com?
pose tbeso bodies are vory much the same.
Four-fitths of thu National Pirliamcnt cou
nistof Piussta.i representatives; and the Fed?
eral Chancellor and tho Prussian Promicr arc
ono and thc samo person. To judgo by pres?
ent appearances, it is to the National Parlia?
ment that tho ceu're of political gravity is
rapidly shifting, and in tho Federal Chancel?
lor's ofhco that tho executive is beginning to
centralize. Rapid strides arc being mado to?
wards tho creation of a federal government,
and tho federal government once in existence,
must bo looked upon as the half-way boute to
tho creation of the fcdoral eovereign, i. e., to
the assumption by the Crown of Prussia of a
title, bo it that of emperor or of king of ibo
Germans, which, while investing it with sover?
eign prerogatives over the confedeiati in in i's
owu right (an 1 not L>y moro procuration ?ia at
present.) will complete thc national structure
of the present edifice.

TUE CLOSE OF COHO It ESS.
EXCITING SC?NES AMONG THE UODtL LEGIS?
LATORS.
Fierce Talk Between Butler, Logan
and Scnenck.
The Washington correspondent of tho Now
York Herald, describing the lasi hours of the
Forty-first Congress on Saturday rnorniDg,
says :
Tho closing scenes in tho House were both
exciting and ludicrous. After midnight, when
thc galleries began to thin out, members threw
aside tho little restraint and reserve which the
presence of persons in tho galleries poems to
impose Their conduct was. if possible, less
dk'itifi?d, and their goneral bearing and de?
meanor secmol to say, "Well, wo are alone
now, and we will do just ai wo please." By oce
o'clock, everybody had loft except a few ..egrocs
who were asleep in tho gallery just behind tho
clock and a mau scattered hmo and thor?, be?
sides a tow reporters who seemed determined
to seo tho thine out. It was noticeable about
this time, that many members were absent
from their seats, .-ometimes it was difficult
wheu thc House was dividing to get a quorum.
Tlic cxpi iiiation was to be iouud in the face
that up in the law library of the linus; Sam
Ward, Butter's '.Bismarck Jr.," of impeach?
ment iiotoriely. had sot out an elegant lunch,
with plenty ot cbanffmgne to wash it down, to
which bo iuvne-i all the members without dis?
tinction of party. Just back ot tho lobby is tho
room of the bcigo.nit-at-arnis. Colonel Ordway.
Herc. too. was a lunch, Strictly temperance,
though; only coffee to bo had in the way of
beverages, lt was of a more public nature
than Sam Ward's, for Ordway's invitation ex?
tended to all thc mcmbeis and employees of
thc IJouse, even dowu to tho liitio pages.
With Ordway's attraction at one side o' the
hall, and that of Sam Ward at thc other,
Mr. Speaker Blaine was forceo to order
"lelleis" on every demand for a divi?
sion of tho Uouso. ?bou1, two o'clock
thc hall of tho H mao resembled a hug?, smok?
ing room; nearly everybody had u cigar in his
mouth and was puffing away vigorously, as if
legislative inspiration and wisdom was to bo
gathered from the weed. Some uioinbors were
sitting with their fpet upon tho desks; others
walked norvously around tho hall, casting
slurp g'ances towards tho speaker's desk, no.v
and again, as if watching .whon the r "little
bill" would bo leached cu tho sneaker's table;
still others stretched themselves upon the
sofas and went to sleep. Une bill altor alter
another was taken UD and disposed cf. Hal
few measures got through without resistance.
The Democrats, maddened by the success of
themajoriiy in ousting their political colleagues
and ch.grinedat thc paBsago of tho Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas Reconstruction bill with
thc hated Morton amendment to it, were in no
humor to facil?talo tho passage of other meas?
ures in vhicb they had little or no mtcrost.
Motions for a recess, followed by demands for
a division, tellers and the yeas and na>H, wero
ot frequent occurrence, -io often was tho roll
c 11 ?eel that both the regular reading clerks be?
came hoarse and hal to bo reliayed by fresh
recruits. When Hohenck aroao io make his
report from the Couferenco Committee ou the
Supplementary Whiskey and Tobacco Tax nil!
the members were generally III' their seats; tho
respective lunches of Sam. Ward and Colonel
Ordway hadgiveD out; members who had laid
down carly in the evening to take a nap woko
un and resumed their cigars; everything as?
sumed a:i air of business, and th ero was a
manifest intention to do somo work, ti.ough it.
was then close on to three o'cl iel; in tho morn?
ing. Stihenck proceeded to explain and . dvo
eate tho committee's report and manl?
iest ly anticipated but li tie opposition.
He was suddenly sot upon, however, by
Generals Lo/aii and Butler, who not oiny
denounced thc committee's report, but in?
sinuated rather broadly that tho new Commis?
sioner ot Internal Revenue, tho 'ouictenco
Committee and tho chairman of tho Ways and
Means Committee himself, were not above sus?
picion nor by any means as honest as they
should bb. This aiouscd Schenck's slugg sh

and his i-quare j twa sot like thuse ot a bull?
dog, ho commenced in a s-arcastic vein to por
tiay tho immaculate honesty ol his assailants.
Towards the close of his speech ho los? his
temper a little and became somewhat personal
in Ins remarks, upc iking of somo tuen who ad?
ded '. cowardice to lalsehood." General Logan
was sitting a tow feet behind Sobeuck with his
feet upon tho desk, half asleep, behenck's
sharp tones awakcuo . him-and jumping hast?
ily to his feet, ho exclaimed : " I want to know
if the gui. tl cm au from Ohio alludes to mo,
when ho speuks of cowardice and t&Uc
bood?" Scnenck, at the beginning ol
his speech, bad given, notico that ho did not
waul to bo interrupted, but thc defiant tune of
Logan's interrogatory biought Seheuck lo a
sudden huit; and, after pausing a sufficient
ti.no to allow Lo tran to get his question in, ho
answered, "No, s.r, I do not." General But?
ler was smoking a cigar and hobnobbing with
his ronner brethren on tho Democratic side of
the House, wheu Bi.igham, who w.is in jolly
h unnir. cried oui, "Butler, he means you."
Butler tuniMl suddenly and walked at a rapid
strum towards his own scat on the Repuulicau
side ol' the House. Ho reached it just in time
lo get in a question at Schenck, who was about
to stait off again on the rampage. Ho was.
less direct than Ligan, who went io the chair?
man of thu Ways a..d Means tu L ue soldierlike
style. Instead ot saving "Does the gentle?
man from Ohio rofer to me when ho sneaks of
cowardice and falsehood?" ho mei cly said,
in a good humored way, 'Docs tho gentleman
not know that tho Pharisee once said: '1 thank
God Unit I um not as other men?' " Had limier
boen us blunt in his inquiry an Logan, he
would, it is said, have boon told, "Thou urt
tho man." As it was. Schenck retorted upon
him more h-rculv (han ever, and added thu
word "hypocrisy ' to the words "oowurdicu and
lalfeuood.'' jiutlcr mode no response, hut
wen; away smoking his cigar as complacently
as ii nothing had happened, as if no insult had
oeun put upon him. This served to uucouragu
Schenck, and ho went ou talking, as every body
knew, at Bailer in tho most cutting sty .e.
At twenty-five minutes past thrco, when tho

labors and excitement of thu day,-thu ii m-u

SOCIAL LIEE IN UTAH.
Thc Effects Of Pol j-?amy-t.'cm pl lc nt ed
Kinship-Frightful Death Itate.
A Salt Lako correspondent of tho Cincinnati
Commercial writes as follows :
Anot.ier evil beginning to show itself is the
mixing ot k nd red blood. Tho marriage of
cousins is too ommou, and I am told that sev?
eral casca have occurred wore uncle and nicco
were married, but I know personally of no such
case.
Thcro aro several cases of a man marrying
both motlier and daughter, and tho marriage
of two or throe sisters by one wan is quito
common. Robert Sharkey, a merchant of thin
etty, married thrco sisters, one of whom was
divorced from hor first husband omitry lum.
They all lived in one boase, and quite happily,
lt ia said, for several years, wuen in sotno
st tango manner they ml becamo convinced
that polygamy waa wrong. One of the sisters
started East, but soon returned aud e ideavor
c.t to mtko some arrangement for him to put
away tho other two. There w.-ru difficultiea in
the way. and Skarksy's trouulc was BO great ou
the subject that bia mind became disordered,
and last August bo committed suicide by sboo -
mg him-elf through the hoad. Tho widowed
attora still live together, aud are determined
oppononts of polygamy. Two of Brigham
Young's favorito wives, Clara Decker and Lucy
Decker Secly, aro eialcrs. tho second having
beon tue widow of Dt. Is tac Seely, of Nauvoo,
Illinois. The Mormon leaders advise aman to
marry sisterB whenever 1. can be dono, as they
usually agroe butter i han otheis.' One l&mily
within my knowledge consists of two men and
tour women, the men's first wives being
sisters, and their second wives each a sistor of
the other man, all living in ono house. Or to
state it mathematically. A and B first marry
sisters, i hen A marries B's sister and B A's sis?
ter. Here is no marriage of bloo.l relations,
at'd yet it looks like a terriblo mixture some?
where. The question arises lor lawyers : sup?
pose each ot the women to have children, what
akin are tboy respectively ? And Winch of them
could lawfully murry according to Leviticus and
Chancellor Kent? If polygamy continues,
these mixtures are nothing to what must take
place iu tho next generation, for without a
chemical analysis no "Heraldry Harvey"could
ever succeed in finding tho consangu?neoua
circulation, to say nothing of tho collateral.
''Aa it now is, it acorns like halt tho children
in tho city are related in some way or another
to the Ktiuballs, tho Pratts, or the Youngs, and
many of them to all three." Among my ac?
quaintances ia a middle-aged lady, living just
over tho Jordan River, who waa tho widnv of
an apostate who diod in California, but ie now
i he third wife of a Morman. The brother of
ber first hu-band, now Irvine bore, is aleo an
apostate, und a personal friend of mino. Tho
lady has a handsomo daughter, now seventeen
years old, tho offspring of ber first husband and
tho niece of my inotid.
?ho lady is kind-hearted and hospitable,
and, in company with my friend, I enjoy a visit
at lier house very much, aa loni.' as wc can
avoid tho subject of Mormonism. Lately tins
lad\'s husband baa propaaed inform for her
daughter to marry bim, and I can BOC that it is
lue strongest trial tho mother's faith has had,
but such is ber devotion to tho doctrine that
she bas given hor cousent, "if Br-ther Brig?
ham sa>8 it is the will of tho Lord." The
daughter, however, aBBuros her uncle thal abe
' will dio before abo will marry him or any
other Mormon." For tho sako of peace she
says nothing at home, but declares her ?nten
ticu to rmi away rather than eubinit. The
mother, like mauy othera, sayB abo "would ra
thor see lier daughter in the coffin than mar?
ried to a Gentile, for that would bo ber eternal
ruin for both worlds." All, however, aro not
BO zealous on this subject, und ibero is quito a
number of Mormon women wuo think that a
mistake bas been mado somehow, that poly?
gamy ia not of tho Lord, thar it is not truo
Mormoni8m. &c. Those who believe in it
speak of it as "a great cross, laid upon thom
in this world for then1 exaltation tn the noxt,"
Ac.
I bis city already shows its bad effect 011 tho
offspring. Tho sito is MOO toet above the lovel
of Hie boa. in a dry and bracing climate, equal?
ly free from cxiroino* of heat and cold, and
coi sequeutly it should oe ono of the healthiest
atna in thc world. Exactly tue ieversc is the
fact. The death rate, or all ages, is a little
more than twice that ol tho State ot Oregon,
ui.d stealer than that ot New York or New Or?
leans. When wo come to children, the dis?
parity is still more frightful. By actual statis?
tics it ia shown that tho mortality among the
chih'i en ia greater in Salt Lako City than any
other in America, except New orleans, and tho
death rato of Utah IB ouly cx.-oodod by that of
Louisiana. The Mormons have greatly exag?
gerated tho population of this place, which
really contains a littlo leas than 18,000 souls,
ai d in this amah number tho sexton's report
for October last, tho healthiest inonih in
tho >car, gives tho interments at Btxly,
of wliich forty-four were children, Laetycar
was unusually healthy, anti yet the death rate
exceeds i hat of any other Niatc or IVrntoiy
west ot the Mississippi. 1 Le Mormons czplani
this bx eating that their people aro generally
poor and exposed to hardships, but much of
that poverty is directly traceablo to their reli?
gion. Another sad fact is Hie general neglect
of medical care, or rather a general tendency
tn run 10 wild and absurd schemes ofooetor
ing. They claim that ".laying ou if hands and
.ho prayer of faith" will heal the sicu, and yet
no poopio within my knowledge are so given to
"Tuomsoiiiauism," "aloa m doctoring, "yarb
med.cine," ?ind every other irregular mode ot
Heating ibo sick. But a lew da.\a ago threo
.tomi-: children died in the Seventeenth Wnrd,
of etadot fi ver. lu neither case was a physi?
cian ca lcd ; tho bishop carno, and "laid on
hands, with the holy anointing." and an old
wm..au treated -.wo ol them with a mild pallia?
tive *ucb as is used for a sore iliroat.
if the pa tents Jive, after such treatment, it
ts a miracle; aud if they die, it is the "wilt of
thc " lord." Two-thirds ol the polygamists do
nos and cannot attend properly lo their chi.
drcu. Heber C. Kt nball bad aixiy-thrce t-ons,
of whom oniy forty-eight are ?ow living. The
bishop nf our ward, the Fourteenth, baa thir.y
children Jiving, and nearly twenty dead.
Joseph Smith had halt a dozen spiritual wives:
but two sons survived him- both ot his legal
wile.
There are five men in this city who have, to?
gether, seventy wives; thev have, all told, less
than a hundred and fifty children.
A Mormon graveyard is the most melancholy
sight on earth. Ono bishop herc has seven?
teen children buried in oie row, and tho long?
est gi ave is not over four feet I If these men
have bul tue common feelings of humanity,
how fearfully are they punished for the crime of
polygamy. Brigham's children are generally
healthy, except that tho girls mostly have
weak oyes, and two of them are noarly blind;
hut they are woll fed, housed and clothed. But
such is tho exception, and 1 could mantion a
dozen men whoso houses aro full of women,
but their children are m the grave.
JEFFERSON HAFTS IN THE ENGLISH
HOUSE OF C03I1?0NS-A RADICAL
FICTURE.
Tho correspondent or tho Cincinnati Ga?
zette, in the course of a doacriptiou of a visit
to the gallery of the Houso of Commons,
gives this gi i m ps o of the Confederate ex
President :
While I am standing in thia group, eagerly
watching the police sergeant., who will pres?
ently call the names of tho privileged few, I
hear :
"Isn't this Mr. Davis?"
I turn round, and right behind mo stands
Jefferson Davis. But zounds I what a change
in mortal mm I 1 would scarcely have known
him if my attention had not been called to him.
Andean it be possible, 1 mused, that this
slinvclled-faced, thin-voiced, shrunken-limbed,
slouch little old min is tho eloquent and com?
manding senator from Mississippi, the prompt,
resoluto and courtly Secretary of War that was
really President when Franklin Pierce was os?
tensibly ? I toll you the truth. A feoling of
pity stoic all over mc. I was touched, and
there is no knowing what ray impulse of tender
magnanimity to oun^iilei. foe would have
dnvm mo to do and snyif it had not met in
the impulso of the man who put the question I
have quoted that obsequious sycophancy to?
wards the slaveholders' r?bellion which, tor
these ten years past, bas been tho pre-emi?
nent characteristic of anti-slavery England. Mr.
Davis quietly replied, " that is my name, sir."
" What, Jefferson Davis ?"
" Yes, sir. Mtv I ask your name, sir ?"
" Harris; but I tm nooody; I am simply an
Englishman who doeply sympathizes with you;
1 havo often wanted to see you; I bave jour
picture hanging up in my house, aud prize it
very highly."
This was said in an agitated, fervent way,
while hands wero shaken, and then Mr. Harris,
who was a cray-haired, well-to-do-looking gen?
tleman, put his mouth closo to Mr. Davis' ear
and whispered what I did not bear, but what I
could not but imagine was, "Eigl.md was with
you; and if you could have held ont another
year we w.iuid have joined trance in recogniz?
ing your govornm mt." Mr. Davis smiled
iecb'y, aud, I thought, sadly. His name was
called, and in ho went. I followed immediate?
ly, and saw him met by ono of tho House at?
taches, the gentleman in black short broecbos.
and shad-bully coat, with a silk sunflower on
its back, who absolutely bent double (I am not
exaggerating) at tho approach of Mr. D., and
wont dancing and flushed ind smiling before
him, whispering to ovorybody, "This is Mr.
Jefferson Davis," and gallanted him lo a sort of
pew there for Bpeeially-favored strangers on
tho floor of tho House, deep in a recess, and
where Mr. Davis sat down with Archbishop
Manning and Dean Stanley.
