MORMON 31ARRIAGE.
POLYGAMY AS A PART OF THE
SAINTS' REVEALED RELIGION.
A Third Wife to Take Down tha Air ol
the Second Tho Married Mormon Al
ways In Society Iooklnff for Another
I'artner.
Mormon plural marriage is both overrated
and underrated as a Mtrt of the Mormou
polity. It is overrated as the wbolo of the
lystem, and without which it will dissolve
or will be unobjectionable. It is underrated
as u practice not essentially belonging to
their system, and which they will easily
abandon. In the first place, if polygamy
were to cease, all tho objections would re
main to the Mormon system as a theocratic
dominion of absolute iowors, hostile to all
other people, and by its very unture in an
tagonism to tho national government. In
the becond place, plurality of wives has been
given to tho saints by reveiatioa Uirough tho
prophot and founder of their church, cor
roborated by the Jewish (Scriptures, esom
plilled by the patriarchy of ttie chosen race,
whoso daily walk was cloo with God, made
a Mormon duty by giving a higher leing in
heaven to tho saint and his wives in projKjr
tiou to thf.-ir number, elevatl by tho suffer
in.1; of persecution, and strongly worked into
tho social life.
FIRST, SECOND AND TUIUD.
If they would give up polygamy, nil objec
tions to n Mormon state would remain. But
they will not give it up. It is so much a part
of "their revealed religion that tho first wife
cannot refuse consent to another without re
nouncing tho church. Tho system makes
lir gjve tho second and tho following to her
hiubaud in th sovi et rites of the Endowment
house. And she finds it good to bring in a
third to take down tho airs of tbe second, and
so on. Having had her turn in tho man's
love, the takes her turn in intriguo of spite
anJ revenge. And tho man, oblige by re
ligious duty, watched over by the church
authorities in case he can support another
wife and does not gather her, and promised a
higher being in the next world, where his
wi vs are counted to his glory, finds also more
social ploasiires in plurality of wives in this
world than is generally (bought.
Tho common Gentile idea of the state of
polygamous marriage is of the Bible
patriarchs, and it is elevated above the social
part. It thinks not of tho difference between
the monogamous marriage, by which tho
jnan "settled down," and the polygamous
marriage in which tho man still continues a
mi-rrying man is more in tho market than a
single man, and is soon looking for new loves,
instead of patriarchally presiding over his
household. Thus it is that tho married Mor
mon is a society buck, and that he continues
a buck in society as long as he livvs. The sf-c'n-ty
customs are formed to promote this.
The theater ana iuo "Social Lai" ti balls
and other parties, ure regular menus. Danc
ing is a means of jolygamous grace. Eti
quette requires the saint to dance once with
each rii. and then he is free to go for the
'maidens, leaving the wives iq LeGWtjj; tbe
wall.
ALWAYS A MARRYING MAX.
It is dilBcuit to conceive tho social differ?
ence made by a system in which the married
man continues a marrying man and is al
ways on the lookout for another. "Without
jtii? ppipptinction he goes about as a gallant
or lover. He luus u courte'uip t any lijfetlj
and heat, while his wives are "enjoying
themselves" at home. This liberty has
evolved the custom of long courtships. How
&an 9 h wives when the man dresses
in his best and goes uoiutui ck)ijg to de
vour. They cannot ask him where be has
spent the evening. He is doing a saint's re
ligious Jty, and is thereby exalting their
otato of being in the next world. And tho
good man makes religious duty a carnal
pleasure, This works a great deal of court
ing and many marrying chances to tho girls.
The old bucks and the young bachelors com
fiete for them. And they accept the situa
tion with alacrity, each thinking she will be
the favorite wife and enjoying her triumph
over the j.etfc.
This is of polygamy at Salt Lake City,
and among the rich and well to do. But it
has all degrees and phases according to
human conditions aud human nature, down
to that in which the taking of another wife
is the addition "of another eurut i$ supporf
thz man. If or is this limited to tbe poor.
Naturally it hardens the heart of tho man
toward his wives, makes him insensible to
their teeiiugs, and puts them into a lower
sphere. But besides being made a religious
duty, it engages the pride, pleasure, passion
and i'itrest of the man. And they have no
doubt of its iigbi5in?s-j. In conversation
with one of the pioneers on their religion,
tho remark that polygamy did not seem es
seutiaj, and that the dropping of it might
promote peace ffnd their welfare, brought
the impregnable answer: vDo you believe
the Bible?" They are a fearfully biblical
people, Mormonism is a bigger problem
than is thought. It Jja come to stay. Sam
uel Rockwell Reed in' Cincinnati Commerpfal
Gazette.
Unhappy I'aclll'y of .Expression.
Some peoph have j?uclj an unhappy facility
of expression, combined with s.liiho4 meth
ods cf thought, that they are likely to in
dulge in'speech which it would ''puzzle a
Dutchman' to translate. Tho "History of
Weare, New Hampshire," refers to a loqua
cious townswoman who reversed tho old
maxim, aud "went ahead" without being
sure she was right.
One pf lier stories was to the effect that
her husband sowed some flax, which eamo
up aud grew, until tbe frost struck it and
blighted every spear.
Then tho worms took it and ate it all up;
then the drought took it aud killed it all, and
when chey camo to pull it they didn't have
half a crop. After t'lat thjy rpttad it, and
her Lusbaud done out some of it, and it
wa'n't good for nothing.
Then they let it lay a year, and it was tho
best ilaap she ever see. Sho used some of it
to make cloth for her husbaud's shirts.
"It was cotton linen cloth. It wag tow
warp, and tho warp was fillin, and tbe blue
?a3 yallcr, and it was dyed in huckleberry,
aud it was tMck as the table. It wore splen
didly, and my bosbtuid Jikcd the shirts so
well that he woro thom all out in a fort

GOSLINGS AS FISH BAIT.
Ilemarkable Experience of a St. txui
Sportsman Uow to Catch Haas.
A letter from a St. Louis gentleman, w ho
has been for some time up at Green Lake,
Wis., has just been received here, and it con
tains the account of a fishing exploit that is
remarkable. "I went out early the other
evening," writes the gentleman, "m the
hopes of encountering some of the famous
pickerel of this resort when they were just
coming up from their mossy beds after a
morsel for breakfast. I trolled for half a
mile without a strike. I was passing a (rm
bouse, in front of which were an old gootc
wid a lot of goslings a month v so olJ. They
were swimming around, dipping down under
tho water, and chattering away in high glee.
Jut as I was opposite them there was a
rplush and one of the goslings d.sap
Ioared. Almost instantly another one
went in the same way, IJ.h mother
jjooso never seeming to heed their
n!.- nre. I thought it strange, aril ptiltei
over toward the flock, but before I reached
them three more wero pulled under the
.Miter. I stopped rowing cloo to the spot
where the fowU had di.sapjeared, and
wutched from close range to seo if I could
discover what agent was at work destroying
the farmer's goslings. One of the little fel
lows was separated from tho other three, for
t:at'sall that weie left. I was close to the
tiuglij gosling, watching him, when I saw a
monstrous black bass shoot through the wa
ter, grab the bird I had my eye on, and give
the water a flirt with his tail as ho disap
peared with his breakfast. Beforp tho sur
faco had becorne calm or my astonishment
hud been overcome, tho remaining three of
the gosling brood wereiu the capacious maws
of the hungry bass.
"By this time the old goose, who had been
tranquilly swimming &bont, began to think
that something was wrong, and when no
little ones came at her call sho became
frantic I stood right there for some time,
sxpecting that some audacious bass w-ou!l
walk off with the od goose, but they didn't.
"J went up to. tha farm house, told tho futo
t f the goslings, and was met with no exprcs
k ions of surprise.
" 'That's no uncommon thing,' said tho far
mer. 'I'll bet I've lost a thousand young
gecso just in that way. I thought those were
too big for lia-vi balk keep niy young geesg
in a ond back of the houso until they get
big enough to take care of themselves, as I
thought tho ones you saw gobbled up were.'
"An idea struck me, aud I bargained with
t'uo farmer for threo goslings from tho pond
back of the house. I would fool t lie bass.
He soon came in with three !ics, dqn r.y little
follow;? and i-Mok one, tied my line about
the center of his body, and fastened a gang
of hooks under the goslings's b:eat so they
hung down about three inches. Then I took
a long rod from tho boat, nttachpd the line
and gently dropped Up swimming 'bait into
tho water. Tho'jittle gosling snam around
f-jr about half a minute, when there was a
rush, a tug at tho line, and I had my hungry
li.sli safely hooked. It was a whopper, and it
took me twenty minutes to bring him tip to
the boat. Tho bass had struck the hooks, cs
I intended, before ho reached the gosling,
and 1 rtticuegdixl in landing thirty big
,)r..,-s with my fhiMe before they wcrju-ed up.
Thi-y were the biggest luiss i over sa w bo
foro, atTl-aging; uiilo over six pounds
apiece, one of them weighing nine and a
quarter pounds. When I go after bass now
yon may be sure I go with goslings for bait."

The Value of Good Ink.
The health department of New York city
calls attention tq tha fact that a large pro
portion of records of births, marriages and
deaths received for filing are written in ani
line inks, which will become illegible in a
few years, As the originals are now Ted as
received, pertifioates written in these fugitive
inks will become sheets of blank paper in
tight or ten years, and valuable records will
thon be lost. It is said at the office of the
registrar of yita statistics, tbat uuni-ters aro
more careless in making certificates of mar
riages than the doctors in reporting births or
deaths. On many occasions the b'anks have
been filled in with a pencil and had to be re
turned to be written in ink. Ministers are
also partial to colored inks, unmindful,
doubtless, that the iuk wil fade away in a
few years.
Deputy County Clerk Gilroy said that
many . of the Topers filed in the county
clerk's office were written with poor ink, but
as a record was made of nearly everything
filed their value was retained.
"It is a mighty good idea, however," said
Mr. Gilroy, "for the newspapers to call the
attention of tho people to the necessity of
using good black ink in executing legal and
official papers. Colored inks are no good and
wcro only made to suit a woman's fancy. I
have never seen any court records written
with aniline ink. I think blacl: ink is used
in ererr court in the city." Nejv York

THE MAN BEFORE EDISON.
The Original Inventor of Hie Klectrio
Light A Lost Idea.
Anybody that chooses and knows how can
inuko Incandescent electric lights npw. The
only jK-rsoa who had any right to prevent
them has been asleep for a good many years
at the lottom of the Atlantic ocean. Most
people think Edisun invented these lights, and
so he did, but he was not the first. Somo years
ago, a young man in advance of his age, by
tho name of Starr, came to Mr. George Peu
liody with a new invention, asking advice
ami assistance. Ml'. Peabody was in it only a
I)hilautliropst but a nhi-owd man of busi
;js, He saw nt once the possibilities of the
electric light, and gladly furnished Starr
with tho means to go to England and take
out a patent, after consulting experts and
scientists there. In those davs every new
discovery had to have the stamp of Kuglands
scientific apprftval to. make its way elsewhere.
Mr. Starr, like many a genius before and
since, was by no means an experienced and
cautious business man, so Mr. Peaeody en
gaged a man named King to go with him as
his business agent and to conduct the nego
tiations. Tho two men set sail for England, had a
prosiero.us YQ) g, and met with a flattering
rxeption. The invention wns exhibited to
tho first authorities iu the kingdom, was care
fully scrutinized by thein, and was unani
mously pronounced to be a brilliant and suc
cessful one. Tho twO V.'en l-enuiincd for some
tune iu England, and received nothing but
tiOiisidelvation and encouragement-. A patent
for the invention was obtained, but by a
usage ullowed by English patent law, was is
sued in the namef the solicitor, Mr. King,
instead of that of tho inventor, Mr. Starr.
The unsuspecting inventor does r.ot appear
to Lavo observed this, or made any objec
tion, or at least there' is no record that ho
did Svv
Ilia two men started on their return To
Ainerit'-tt. They had been at sea but a very
few days when Mr. Starr was found one
morn;ng in his berth dead, from somo myste
rious and unexplained cause. His body was
buried at sea, and Lis ooinpukii (Aiitinued
bis journey, ami piatnted himself to Mr.
pabYKly with his repork That gentleman
listened attentively to his account of the
journey, with its various business transac
tions 'and its tragic finale. On concluding
his narrative Mr. King asked th millionaire
if he would rnntinuo o baok up the inveu
VioU with his money and influence. Mr.
Peabody's reply was to rise, open the door of
his private office where the interview had
taken place, and sternly point toward it.
The discomfited attorney 4 without a word,
vent out tm-.ougb, "tho iloor- into oblivion.
And that is tho reason why Edison had to
invent the electric light all over again. The
invention lay in a stale mate, as it were. It
was credited to King, and he alono could de
velop it, but he had disappeared. Jj. was not
known f ilj J7 I'uaj tStaxr was the real in -vent'oj'",
and even then, as he was dead, and
the patent issued to another man, nothing
could be done. Finully Edison went to work
on his own hook, and thought out his scheme;
but the highest English com ia iiuvo just de
tijlcd iut't tbe King"pati:ui anticipated his
and mukes them invalid. And as the earlier
patent has lapsed, tho idea, under this de
cision, is common property. Once a Week.
