Etkt the Chicago papers are finding fault -with, the Kentucky civilization and the Thompson verdict They might find food for reiection by a retrospective glance over the Chicago murder field for the past year or two. Thi New York Tribune publishes a pen pictare of the distinguished Indiana Republican, General Erady. It says he "is a big aaan of forty-five, with a coarse, beefy frame and gross animal features. His head is round and his forehead receding. His neck is abort and thick, and, like his face, as red as a lobster. That face is not prepossessing. Its eyes are of a cold blue, its cose is small and retrousse, and its jaws are heavy. He ioes not look like a great man, and he does look as though he might not be a good one." Bince the Tribune has gone into the business it may favor the public with equally truthIwd portrait of sundry "high officials" of the Republican persuasion, whose exploits Mr. W. F. Fishback has open-lettered to the world. BEEF CATTLE. An article published in the "Washington republican invites special attention to the ere at bee! interests the country. Figures derived from official sources showing the condition, present and prospective, of the beef interest of the United States, are as follows: Total number of oxen and other cattle. including milch cows, in the Lnited States In 1SS2 Total aggregate value... .... $609,139.169 "It will be seen," says the Republican, "by the foregoing figures that this interest is accumulating at a rate that warrants the opinion that it will soon, with proper public attention, assume proportions that will overshadow any single interest of a commercial nature in - the world. Thej annual los 3 accruing from diseases among cattle of all kinds is above 10 per cent., without referring to the accidents oi storms such as have recently produced disastrous results in the cattle sections of the Southwest. However careful breeders may be in the care of their stock, carefully compiled statistics show that the losses for the past five years (including the year 1S32) have aggregated the sum of $06,OCO.0OO annually. The ratio of the increasing importance of the cattle interest is perhaps as well demonstrated by the increase in the number of dealers in meat 6tock as by any means at hand except statistics showing the amount of production and consumption. As collateral evidence it may be stated that the number of dealers has increased from 7,723 in the year 1S70 to 14.T&S for the year 1532, all of whom devote their entire time to the business of stock dealing, employing a large amount of capital, which from the nature of the traffic must necessarily consist of ready cash." The purpose of the Agricultural Department is to devise means whereby the loss of cattle by disease may be reduced to the lowest possible point, and in view of the magnitude of the interests at stake it well becomes the Agricultural Department Of the Government to give the subject a larger share of attention than is bestowed lipon any other matter within its jurisdiction. The article in the Republican from which we have quoted says: Dr. Loring, being aecientiat and practical agriculturist, at ones saw the importance of protecting this great American Interest, and accordingly organized a Board cf e allied medical gentlemen in Teterinar medicine to investigate and find out, it possible, the cause of these epidemic diseases walch prevail so alarmingly among the cifitle cf the United Beates, and recommend Each "means as will eradicate this tsrrtble plague of the borine race. The Board has bo-en at work for several months past making investigations cf this class of diseases, and their labors have been fraught with scientific success. Thare Is to be permanently established in Washington under the direction of the Agricultural Department a hospital to experiment on the epidemic diseases of domesticated animals, which will add greatly to the Interest and efficiency of this scientific branch of the Agricultural Bureau. Hitherto it has been common for the press of the country to treat the Agricultural Bureau at Washington as a thing of little consequence, if not de3erving of general contempt. But the people are'beginaing to understand that agriculture is of more importance than the Army or the Kavy, each of which is dignified as a Depart xient, with a Secretary, who has a seat at the Council Board of the President. Chan dler's old mud scows and Sherman's Army, coating from $50,000,000 to $00,000,000 a year, with schools turning out officers by the score and hundred, most of whom are drones, purely ornamental, luxuries which the people are taxed to support, will not always, it is cheering to believe, be permitted to obscure the great agricultural in terests of the country or obtain so much, money from the Treasury as to leave nothing, or nearly nothing, for agriculture an interest of more importance thaa all others combined. - SEWS Of TUB WEEK, An unknown horse-thief was lynche 1 Thursday at Overton, Neb.

Sanford's Ginger for the careworn, A Woman Voice. Says Lillian "Whiting in the Boston Traveller: "The point of reconciliation of past theories and present facts lie in the new adjustment of the forces of the home. The world cf women is no longer divided into the wemen of the home who have no history and who are sever heard of outside its wall!, and the class who have a history that is one of struggles, defeats, and denials, but it is largely the women of settled homos and position who are achieving results that make j up a history. New forces are entering into life and rapidly transforming the old conditions and presenting society to us under new relations. Individual development is recognized as a potent factor in life, and as being in itself a worthy and demonstrable end. As society advances, antagonisms grow less. Mutual toleration, if not appreciation, becomes the law of lite; but it is quite time this canonization of the commonplace woman was ended. On tho same principle, why not laud to the skies the day laborer, the hod carrier, the bricklayer, because he does not aspire te a career?' "Why not embalm in all literatures the assertion that the happiest rnari is not he who founds an empire, or in. vents an ocean telograpb.or an electric railway, or writes an immortal poem, or gives to the world a new theory of the solar fystem, but instead the man who splits the kindling wood dutifully, and is nevar heard of outside his own door yard? If a woman is cone ad ed the endowment of intellectual faculties, why shall the not express herself through them in all the various ways her individuality may Drcmtt? "Whv shall she not be haDiv in I havirg a history, in having enjoyed the ex pansion of various experiences, rather than in having plodded through a mere existence that had in it nothing of life 7 In fact, with most women it is true that it is sot less, but more life and fuller, that they want.'

A READABLE LETTER.

Krljhara Young's Tfldows Ills Favorite Wife, Amelia, and Her "Palace." The Prophet's Fifty Children, and How Hi a Enormous Property Waa Divided. Jvlin Taylor, Brigham'a Successor The Present Condition of tbe Church Brigham's Grave. ISalt Lake City Correspondence of the InterOcean. The condition ef the Mormon Church has not changed much since the death of "Brother En'gham," as the Mormons call him. There was a little turmoil over the election of bis euecessor as the President of the Church, and At one time it was thought his two sons, John "Y. and Brigham, Jr., would make a row, but the latter was appeased by being chosen one ef the twelve apostles, and John Was sat down upon with emphasis. John never was a very pious man, or an orthodox Mormon. He is carnally-minded, a spendthrift, and reckless generally. He has a Philadelphia wife who never took kindly to polygamy, and was the cause of a good deal of domestic commotion. After being rejected by the Church as a leader, John shook the dust of Zion from his indignant feet and went to New Mexico, where he secured a valuable railroad contract, and has since lived upon a ranch in Arizona. It is a valuable property, and expensively equipped, but when we were out there the other day the ranch wis advertised for sale, ander a judgment for debt, or something of that sort, and the opinion of his neighbors was that he had reached the bottom of his pile. That is the view his old friends in Salt Lake City take of the case. They understand that he has not only gone througu with the money his father left him, but also the profits of hi3 railroad contracts, and is deeply in debt. At the recent session of the annual conference of members of the Church of Latter Day Saints at Salt Lake City John appeared, made a penitential confession of waywardness, and renewed his allegiance to the Charch. This means, the gossips say, that he proposes TO M.AY THE TRODIQAL SOS ACT, and having wasted his substance, expects that the Church will take him again to its bosom, and give him new garments and a fat ollice. t , i)at I'm inclined to think he will be disappointed. The influential leaders in the Church are glad to have John come back and remove the odium that followed his disaffection, but the fat places are all well tilled, and do not go a-begging in Zion anv more than elsewhere. They spoke of him kindly charitably, I mean and seemed to regard his repentance with pleasure, but they did not enthuse over him much, nor did they hesitate to discuss his faults freely. Two of Brigham's sons are in the United States Army. One of them ia said to be a brilliant fellow, and sraduted from West Point at the head of his class. He is in the engineer corps, and is spoken of by Army orlicers as a thorough gentleman. Kighteen of Brigham's widows live here still. Ann Eliza (No. 19), the aoostate, who took the lecture field, is said to be married and living in Chicago, but I could not learn her husband's came. Some of the widows live with their families in the "Lion Ilouse" so called from the carved stones that cap the pillars of the entrances where they lived during Brisham's lifetime, but tne main building in which he lived is now the headquarters of the Church. None of the widows have remarried, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. THE AMELIA PALACE. Amelia, it will be remembered, was the most attractive of Brigham's plurality, and was the recipient of his most conspicuous favor. She was too good to live in the prophet's harem, and he built for her, across the street from the Lion Ilouse, an elegant mansion of stone, similar to some of the residences thatjadorn Prairie avenue in Chicago. It was furnished by him with costly luxuriance, and here he abode during the last yeais of Lu3 life in the bosom of his favorite, while across the way in the old adobe structure, which was erected soon after the exodus from Nauvoo, the other seventeen remained without a murmur. One would suppose that this marked favoritism would have raised a row around the prophet, but such was the family discipline that the other wives appeared only to admire Brigham's devotion to Amelia, and wereglad to receive the merest smile from his boneücent face. One can not but ad Hire the matchless audacity and ability of that man the Apostile Panl of the New Dispensation. He had none of tbe disjointed, turbulent, and inconsistent fanaticism of Joseph Smith, but was cool and far-sishted, possessing unbound physical and moral courage, an unpretentious authority that was felt in the smallest detail of the theocracy of which he was the head, with abilitv to plan and the energy to execute a very Lion of the Lord, as the saints used to call him a combinationof Napoleon, Kobe3pierre, and llichelieu. THE FAVORITE PETOSED. As long as Brigham lived his authority was absolute; his utterances were received as revelations from on high, and although he was guilty in his public addresses of blasphemy and obscenity that would not have been tolerated from any other man, ais people bowed before his will as the Hindoos bow before the wheels of Juggernaut. Amelia is said to have exercised a powerful influence with the Prophet, and in a quiet way molded him to her will the only being tc whom he ever yielded; the Delilah of the Mormon Sampson. The Apostles and Elders were more jealous of her than than the other wives, and when the Prophet died they got in their work. Her influence suddenly ended; her life of luxury suddenly ceased. She became as powerless and as friendless as the ex-Empresi of France or the crazy yueen of Spain. It was discovered that "the Amelia Palace," as the beautiful mansion was called, had been erected with the funds of the Church, and Bhe was unceremoniously bounced. With her share of the property Brigham left she purchased a cozy little cottage in a retired portion of tne town, and is living there in digniiied and aristocratic seclusion. She retains much of her beauty, and is said to be a woman of strong intellect and commanding appearance, I tried to secure her picture as a souvenir, but the photograph dealer, who had the faces of the other bright lights of the Church, said he was not allowed to sell it. Courtiers came to woo her, and it was reported at one time that she had been "sealed" to one of the apostles, a business man who lives at Ogden, but she rejected his addresses, and still wears a widow's weeds. The Gentile's know little about her, but the Mormons say she is true to Brigham and believes that she will sit with him in glary. She was the wife of his old age, and never had any children. TRESIDEKT YOCXO'S PROPERTY. When Brigham was living it was supposed that he was enormously wealthy, and he left a will bequeathing his property in equal shares to his eighteen wives and rifty or sixty children. But when the document went to probate the Church put in a claim for a large share of the estate, and it was found that the charge so frequently made was true that Brigham had his own affairs so mixed up with his official responsibilities that he scarcely knew, if he cared, how much of it belonged to him and how much to Ion. The claims of the Church were settled first, and the residue for the enormous family was much smaller than the heirs expected. It is not known exactly how much they got,

as the local Courts are controlled y the Church, but it is generally supposed that the eighteen wives and the fifty children get about $30,000 apiece. There was a good deal of dissatisfaction in some quarters at the distribution and John TV"., as well as other of the heirs, at one time proposed to make a fuss about it; but the Gentiles say they were frightened out of the contest by the threats of the head of the Church, who offered to show that they were getting a goad deal more than they were entitled to if the naked truth was known. Brigham was the custodian of all the tithes the pious Mormons pay into the Treasury one-tenth of their incomes and he never rendered an account to any one. After his death a demand was make of hia successor to show up a financial exhibit at the annual Conference, and it was done for one or two years, but now it is submitted to the Apostles and not to the people. THE GRAVE Off THE PROPHET. A good many jokes have been made by the newspaper paragraph era about the army of widows watering the turf upon the prophet's grave with their tears, and it has been repeatedly stated in print that his burial place was neglected and unmarked. This is not true. Hi3 body lies on a terrace back of the Lion Ilouse, although it is not in the regular Cemetery of the Church. He died soon after the theft cf A.T.Stewart's body, and the faithful people, fearing that some ghoul would steal his bones, buried them within the great wall he built to surround his harem and the offices of the Church when Zion was frequently visited by hostile Indians. It is Claimed by anti-Mormon writers that this wall, which enclosed an area as large as three blocks of Chicago, was erected not so much as a protection fron the Indians as a breastwork for resistance against the United States troops, but it would stand a poor show against a cannonade. Great precautions were taken to gaard the body. A great flagstone, sixteen inches thick, and weighing many tons, was placed at the bottom of the grave, and another like it was placed upon the coffin. The two were riveted together by rods of skeel at narrow intervals, and when the horn blows on resurrection morning, Brother Brigham will find himself in a tight place. Upon the too of the grave a marble slab is laid, which bears an appropriate inscription, and it is surrounded by a stalwart iron fence. PRESIDENT JOHS TATLOR, the successor of Brigham Young, now occupies Amelia Palace with one of his wives she who is said to be the original Mrs. Taylcr. There are three more, but they do not dwell with him. Since the prosecutions for polygamy, those who have plural wiyea are mighty careful not to turniah evidence for the courts, and it is difficult to ascertain how many spouses a Mormon has got, and who they are. The several families are scattered through the town, and each has a separate residence. It is a matter of common report that President

Taylor's wives occupy certain houses, but it is impossible to determine the fact by legal testimony, so long as the wives themselves are permitted by law to refuse to testify. A row of pretty cottages are pointed out as the residences of the several Mrs. Sharps the wives of one of the ablest and shrewdest apostles, who is the manager of tbat enormous institution known as Zion's Co-operative Store but the ladies are known by their maiden names, and the children can offer 72 0 evidence of their parentage. President Taylor is a venerable man with a gentle eye, büt a strong mouth, and a jaw that indicates courage and determination. He was with Joseph Smith when the founder of Mormonism suffered "martyrdom" in the Jail of Carthage, I1L, and to this day carries the marks of the assassins bullets, tie is getting old end feeble, and his mind is not so clear cs it was; but he is the remnant of what was once a man powerful in mind and body. THE PRESIDENT'S HEADy CARTERS. We found the man whom the Mormons believe to be the infallible successor of the Savior of the world; the prophet who receives revelations from the Almighty, and the spiritual and temporal autocrat of Zion, in a handsomely furnished library, surrounded by portraits of the leading men of the past ana present, and were cordially received as Mr. Cannon presented us, He shook his head gravely at the mention of the Inter Ocean, which he believes to be the most dangerous newspaper opponent the Church has, but he expressed a hope that my visit might result in a more friendly feeling toward his people, and that personal observation might convince me, as it had convinced so many, that they were not so bad a people as had been represented. In the adjoining rooms were clerks engaged at their books and correspondence, and at Mr. Taylor's elbow sat his Private Secretary, upon whom he appeared to depend fcr information when he asked him questions as to the condition of Zion. As 1 have remarked, Mr. Cannon is now the leading spirit of the Church, and his official position is that of Second President, Mr. Taylor's first subordinate. The C entiles eay that Taylor is not bo able as Bngham Ycung, but that he is a better man, and is respected and beloved where Brigham was feared. TAYLOR HOLDS A3 ILECTIVE OFFICE, and not a life position, as most people suppose. Tbe head of the Church, or, as his official title stands, "The Prophet, Seer and Revelator, the President of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints all over the world," is elected every year at the spring conference, and, strange to say, there has never been any opposition to the re-elec ion of Smith, Young and Taylor, the three men who have occupied the place for rifty-two years. At the time Brigham Young was elected after Smith was slain, there was a bitter contest, which alienated some of the leading men, and resulted in a good deal of apostacy, but there was never any future opposition; and when Taylor was chten after Brigham's death, there were several aspirants, but they are waiting until he dies, for under the Mormon autocracy no one tries to step into a ive mai-'s shoes. George i Cannon will be the next Presideut, by ritfht of service, usefulness and wellearned innuence. Probably Taylor has ''revelations'' occasionally äs Joe Smith did. He has them whenever the faith of the people needs strengthening, or the will of the President needs to be enforced. He had a "revelation" last winter that the Edmunds bill would not fass, and the deluded Mormons actually beieve that it was true, and that the Almighty spoke to them through John Taylor, in the voice of prophecy, which was fulfilled. But Mr. Taylor does not go into the practice of revelations to any extent. The people are not so superststious as they were, and can not take revelations in such large doses as they swallowed in .Joseph Smith's time and in the days of Brigham. There used to be a time when the Church would listen to a jevelation from the Lord through the lips of Brigham with as much awe as if the heavens had opened before their eyes, and the voice of the Creator had spoken as it did to Moses. Bat THE PROPHZCT BUSINESS WAS OVERDOSE. That resource was applied to of tener than was politic, for the words of the prophet did not always come true, and the people began to lose their faith. Joseph Smith prophesied at Nauvoo that the United States would be broken into fragments, and then the time of the fulfillment of the word which gives the Latter Day Saints the control of the world would come. When the announcement of the secession of the Southern States was read in the Tabernacle in lSbl the people thought the hour had surely arrived. This largely accounts for the sympathy of the Mormons with the South during the War. I asked a prominent Mormon about these "revelations;" how they came, and under what circumstances, and he eaid that they were very much misunderstood by "the world," as all that part of the universe outside of Zion is alluded to. He said that there was never any pretention that a spirit from Heaven appeared to Jhri Taylor or Brigham Young, nor did these revelatisns come in dreams; but when Mr. Taylor was troubled in his mind or undecided ia any emergency, he sought the guidance of the Almighty in prayer, with faith, aai the path of duty was

revealed to him by a mental process, after prayerful reflection. When the Edmunds bill was pending in the Senate he pn.yed, and they all prayed, that it might not pass, and the confidence In its failure, whicli was inspired in Mr. Taylor's mind, was a "revelation." CURTIS. Young, middle-aged, or old men, suffering from nervous debility or kindred affections, should address, with two stamps, for large treatise. World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. Equality In the Heme. I New Ncrthwest.J Financial troubles and business reverses frequently render retrenchment in current expenditures necessary, even Jby familie that are reputed to be in good circumstances, and it is a noteworthy fact that, in looking about for little leaks that may be stopped, the husband's gaze is usually directed toward hib wife's department, lie notes numerous little adjuncts to her toilet that may, in his judgment, be dispensed with, and his suggestions to that effect generally meet quiet acquiescence. He sees that sundry utensils in common use in the kitchen and other parte of the house are getting considerably the worse for wear, but suavely intimates that they can be made to last another year, and the hint is usually taken. He finds that the reading matter for the household may be somewhat reduced, and he promptly sends the publisher a postal card ordering his wife's one paper discontinued, but allows the half dozen publications that he admires to come on uninterrupted. In ihort with pure haman nature,' he first Etarts an inve3tigation to learn what4his wife and family can do without, and generally makeahis researches so successful that it is unnecessary for him to examine his own comforts and habits with a view to "lopping off" little twigs of expenditure that draw their sustenance from his purse. Aga'n, when husband and wife are counting upon the purchase of various articles or the indulgence of pleasures, and circumstances become such that the wishes of both can not be gratified, how natural it is for him to think the matters on which she has set her heart are of no great consequence. He may want some new invention to lighten his labors or increase the amount cf work he can do, and she, for a similar

reason, may desire a sewing machine; but he will think the article he wishes is of much more importance than the one Bhe wants, though both have all their lives succeeded in getting along without the things in question. This readiness of a husband to curtail hi3 wife's expenses is happily illustrated by a little story of a chat between an old farmer and a passing traveler. A recital of it will show that it was not a particularly 'bad year for crops," but an exceedingly rough one on the wife. "How's hay in this section?" asked the traveler. 'Only medium, sir, I did intend to get the old lady a fine dress this fall, but the weather turned out so poorly that I can't do it." "Wheat pretty good?" "Nothing extra. I was going to get the eld woman a new cloak this fall, but I guess she'll have to wear the old one another year,1' "Oats tol'ably fair?" "Well, they won't begin to hold out. My crop will fall short over a hundred bushels. I was going to get the old woman a new set cf teeth, but the way things look now rather goes to show that she'll have to gum along until next year." .Now, it is a fact plain to all observant people that one person can complacently eacrince tne comiorts ot another, and we are net prepared to say that, if the old farmer's wife was the purse-holder, she would do any better by him than he now does by her; but we do say that, if the wife's rights in the marriage partnership were recognized, she would have her share of the community funds to expend according to her judgment, and if she wanted a new ' cloak or a set of te&th, she could make the purchase, juBt as her husband could if he wants a new plow or a box of tobacco. Equality should reign in the home at all times, but never is there so much occasion for it as during seasons of necessary expanses. A husband may be generous to a fault with his family during prosperity; but m times of fir ancial stringency, even though he ba kind-hearted and have an abundance of the good iatentions with which the lower regions are eaid to be paved, he is pretty sure to innocently do his wife and children injustice when he attempts to view their needs and w&nts from his man's standpoint. Every hustand ought to know that his wife ia equally interested with himself in living as inexp9nsively as possible during periods of financial embarrassment, and that she will display more wisdom and economy than himself in managing the departments under her control, because more familiar with their re quirements. He makes a ead mistake when he ignores this fact. Answer This.

Fifteen Years of BufferingBody Covered With Humor-Had Twelve Doctoi s Faid Oat 500 Mo Cure Mo Uepe.. I will now state that I made, a miraculous cure of on of the worst cases of skin disease known.

He had the attention of twelve different physicians, who prescribed the beat remedies known to the profession, tuch as iodide potassium, arsenic, corrosive sublimate, sarsaparilla, etc. Had paid &50J for medical treatment, with but little relief. I prevailed upon him to use Cuticura Kaaolvent (blood purifier) internally and the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap externally. He did so. and was completely cured.

DROPS OF WAXES. Mr. Joseph C BlckneU, Ko. 642 Mala Street, Cambridge, Hass., writes, April 27, 1SS3: t"I have been terribly afflicted for a number of years with gravel and kidney disease. My urine contained brickdost deposits, and at times I could not pass my water except in drops and with great pain ; and have had to get up as many as fifteen times during the night. I tried several physicians ; they did ra e no gocd, but a friend of mine, who had used Hunt's Remedy, told me to get a bottle and try It. He had been cured of a severe case similar to mine, and that others had used Hunt's Remedy in Cambridgb and pronounced it a medicine of real merit. AI er being repeatedly urged I purchased a bottle, and before I had used all of it I passed a stone as large as a pea, followed by smaller ones. I have used in all ten bottles, and it has completely cured sae. My kidneys are in excellent condition, and for my age (CS) sixty-eight years, I can truly say I feel like a young man with strength and vitality. My family tife the Remedy, and would not be without It, and never fail to recommend it to our friends and neighbors in Cambridge and Boston. Tou are at liberty to ae my name In praise of the best kidney and liver medicine, Hunt's Remedy."

"DID WOXDXKS FOR ME." The above words are from Lewis Keen, No. 9 Highland Avenue, Maiden. Masa.. April 2S. 1S.S3: He says: "I have been'troubled for years with kidney and liver complaint, followed by gravel, with severe pains in my back and groins. I had great trouble in passing water, it being scaaty. and accompaa led by terrible burning, the vessel being coated with I rick-dost deposit I was recommended teuse Hunt's Remedy by a friend who had been completely cured of a similar trouble. I purchased a bottle at the druggist's, and commenced to improve at once. I have used but two bottles, and it has doie wonders for me no more kidney trouble, no more pain. It has given me new life, and I would not be without Hunt's Remedy at any price. It is all that it Is recommenced to be, and I cheerfully give this tesUmeny for the benefit of the many sufferers from kidney diseases and gravel." (C0KQÜERQ3.) ; JA SPECIFIC FOR h' EPILEPSY.
