. BRIGHAM YOUNG has recently de- " voted some attention to the extravagance of @he times, and especially the expensiveness of female dress. "In - one of his sermons. on this topic he . thus gave utterance to his ideas: *“lt ‘adds no beauty to a lady, in my opinion, to adorn her with fine feathers. When I look ata woman I look at her face, which is composed of her forehead, cheek, nose, mouth and chins, and I like to see it clean, her hair combed neat and nice, and ler eyes bright and sparkling; and if.they are, °so what do I care what she has on * her head, or how .or of what material “her dress:is made? No, not the least in the world. ' If a woman is clean in person, and has on a nice clean dress, she looks a great deal better wheén washing her dishes, making her butter or cheese, or sweeping her house, ‘than those who, as I told them. in ~Provo, walked the streets with their _spanker jib flying.” Brigham’s head is-level! g

Allen lost heavily in the strong democratic counties and in- the cities, many ozd-timeé Democrats openly voting for Hayes on: ‘account of the financial question. Inflation Republicans, on the other hand, voted- largely for Allen, who also received quite a number of negro votes.

IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS. ) A meeting was recently held at Indianapolis which the LaPorte Chronicle thinks may prove to be the promoter of very important results to the State. It was a meeting for the ad--L_yancemen‘t of road-making and sustaining, throughout the State. Roads are evidences of, and serve to advance civilization; and they contribute largely when good, both to the wealth and comfort of the people. ~All the Districts of the State were represented at the meeting, and it is hoped that the whole State, in all its parts, will be led to take an interest in this sub.ject: A speaker stated that the annual expenditure for roads in this State, in money and labor, amounted to one and a half million dollars. If properly applied this large amount ought to go very far ‘towards securin’{g better roads than we now have in many places. James I. Irvix), of Columbus, was the principalispeaker at the meeting, and the prime mover in having it called. He argued that the large amount expended for roads was almost thrown away; and it was to correct abuses in this respect, and if pos-. sible make some improvement on our" common’ road system, to perfect the laws relating to gravel roads, and if possible to-awaken a general interest the improvements of roads;;whether free roads or toll roads, thgfitnduced him to have the meeting callédi-~And he- added, “all roads should be good. As a rule they should be freeéi;fl%'()tlle people have not public spirit%"fififighv to make them good and free, tllézn'e;gtg best thing is to encourage the build~ ing of toll-roads, and to protect investments of this kind the same as others. I would suggest the formation of-a State organizatien with its officers and an auxiliary society in: every: county in the State. By this means we can by next summer work up an interest in the subject and influence the next General Aséembly to frame laws looking to complete ‘reform in this direction.” . :

A permanent organization was effected, and named “The Indiana State ‘Association for the Improvement of Roads.” i ; - —— > B— T THE STATE ELECTIONS. The result of Tuesday’s election ‘in Ohio, Towa and Nebraska can be briefs ly enumerated. Ohio was the chief ‘battle ground. The great financial farce which was being enacted there during the past'few months has excited the curiosity of‘the whole nation. To her all eyes were turned, and the whole country awaited ‘with breathless suspense the result of the conflict which ended there last Tuesday. The wicked attempt, under the guidance of scheming politicians and designing demagogues, at repudiating the primary and well-grounded principles of the Democracy by inseribing inflation on their banner has been severely rebuked, and that, too, by veteran Democrats. There can be no justification of this flagrant abandonment of the national platform of '72. There was no occasion for it. Had the Democracy of Ohio remained trueto the principles then promulgated, they would have had the sympathy and aid of the Democrats of every other State of the Union.” Thousands of intelligent and patriotic Republicans in Ohio, who have become disgusted with their own party, would have voted the democratic ticket this fall. Victory would then have been certain. As it is, we decline to regard the defeat of the Ohio inflationists as either a democratic defeat or a republican victory. It is neither. It simply means that enough Democrats voted for General Hays, as a- means of jexpressing their condemnation of ty!e reckless - abandonment of the leading and essential principles of the great party with which they have heretore been identified, to turn the tide in his- favor. Gov. Allen clearly owes his defeat to the reckless stupidity of the political architects who inserted into the platform of the Ohio Democracy that rotten and odius republican financial plank. S _

So far as the election in lowa and Nebraska is concerned, it amounts to nothing either one way. or the other. Nobody paid any attention to these States, in consequence of which the result is wholly without significance.

THE inflation hobby was brought to the surface in Ohio for the express purpose of killing off Senator Thurman as a presidential candidate. The Cincinnati Enquirer engineered this movement, Thurman. incurred the displeasure of that establishment by bis refusal to advocate certain canal schemes in which the Enguirer clique had an interest. Uncle Bill Allen, in an unguarded moment, ~yielded'tiis' convictions of a life-time to the siren songs of the inflationists. For thus sacrificing principle to expediency he has been condemned by his fellowcitizens, by his fellow-Democrats who would not follow where Pigiron Kelley and Sam Carey took the lead.

GOSHEN CORRESPONDENCE.

Prof. Swing in a recent pulpit discourse gave utterance to the following: “No one-can read the value of moral education unless one Kkeeps in mind that all the glory of man has come from that form of labor called. education. There were once sibyls that tried to breathe out truth and prophecy to man from the caverns of Sicily, or to tinkle out mental and spiritual help.to society from the bells of Dodona ; and there-was once thought, to have been a beautiful nymph, Egeria, who gave to Pompilius good Roman Jaw ; but the world has destroyed all these old sources of information, and now knows that the good thing Delos uttered in oracle, or Pompilius carvedon tables, came from that plaimr form of work called ‘education.’ It has at last become the only Delphic oracle which men care to consult.. ...

To learn what is good for the moral condition of mankind, one must observe what has advanced so much the other departments of human nature. One law will be found to prevail all through the functions of mind. = The law of study,~application, is the sefluenée that brings us all that we pos--'sess of political, scientific or ®sthetic -truth.” No one ean deny.the general truth of the great preacher’s sayings, ‘but no doubt many who believe in the spasmodic movements of the mind as the outgrowth of the emotional feel--ings will hesijite. before accepting a ‘proposition dfstructive of their ideas of religion and reform. Yet the historian will find that no reform' has ever been permanent or useful that was brought into existence through excitement and the gush of the emotional side of man. /No religion lias ever succeeded in raising meén frem degradation and holding them on a higher plain where enthusiasm and emotional feelings were the controling forces. Great reforms have beenw of slow growth. The government of England has been revolutionized with‘out a war through the instrumentality of the-expansive force of the human intellect. - People of our country refer to the war for independence as the great revolution in favor' of liberty, yet it was nothing more than the results of a revolution. The change.was not wrought by war, but through the gradual growth of the mind in favor of liberty and free thought. . That mighty force- that secured for the American. people their independence ‘had its birth long before war came to keep it alive. Ifthemind of the Amer‘ican people had not been educated to thie degree in which it made itself manifest in 1776 the war would not have | been, and if it had been, the results secured by it could not have been lasting for want of intellectual power to manipulate its products.- ' The same fact of mental force as the great, motor “in reforms is noticeable -in the .great religious reformation of the sixteenth century. It may also Le found tobe the chief cause that wrested from Pope Pius his temporal power. It was the expansion of hundan intellect that prepared the American mind for the.emancipation of slavery and which made such a thing possible.© MuscuJar force as the prime motor of civilization no longer holds sway. The “world is not now moved by force of -arms, but by the power of human’ fliought. Appeals for reforms that do not eall into activity the hiuman mind are.worse than useless; for tliey ren-, der reform in its true sense impossible. The great question of temperance ieform must find its greatest aid in the expansion of human thought. By Ino conceivable force other than that afforded by mental development, can the problem be solved. - All laws tothat end will avail nothing if the average intellect. be too weak to comprehend and utilize their elements so as to broduce the greatest public good. _ The morality of a community will vary as the intelligence varies. Thus it often happens that whvat was morality in one generation is reckoned immoral in succeeding ones. As we iadvance from the dark valley of ig‘norance up the mountain side of intelligence we behold morality in many different colors, and as the summit ‘that marks the limit of thought is far ‘beyond the present age, many of our ‘now moral acts may yet be seen to ‘be gross immoralities, before the limit of intelligence is reached. The moral acts of communities, then, depend upon the prevailing sentiments of the communities, and they will vary in degree as the popular intelligence varies from narrowness to broadness of thought. No matter which way we look, the same law of development controls all the great movements of the human family in its active life, and whatever hinders that law in its progress retards morality and dwarfs civilization. 'What, then;can be done to give to this law of human sentiment its greatest force, or intensify its activity? That it depends upon the general expansion of the mind, seems to be a self-evident fact. Then it follows that the great ‘work of education, in its true sense, must be carried forward toward its utmost good. But how is that to be done? Our “Kindergarten schools” are very good for the young, our public school system is quite good for our youth, our colleges are prettty‘ good thought deducers, and as a general rule if they excite mental activity at all it will carry the human mind back to ancient civilizations, thus rendering the college graduate very often dead to the present life of activity. = He revels among the Greeks and the Romans, forgetting that a modern people are around him. e may be learned, but not educated. He may be witty, but not useful. The giant intellects that have brought about great reforms were | none of these. Schools are only aids, and cannot, in their présent gtate, be regarded even as a means to an end; for if they were a means,to an end | the end would follow in té_e same line of the work done in the school, and as | a natural consequence of like producing like, we would ‘have a lifeless and | fossilized civilization. -

¢ Charlie Ross. There is a funny side to. even so sad a case as the abduction of Charlie Ross. The father of the lost boy tells ‘the story to a reporter of the Philadelphia Z%mes. While in Canada,recently, he saw a circular of a circus manager announcing wax figures of the ‘Ross family, together with an offer from, the manager himself of a reward of $2,000 for the discovery of the boy. Mr. Ross went to the circus and saw figures of himself and wife, and Charlie, none of which bore the least resemblance to the originals. ! Without making himself known he talked with the exhibitor, who told him he was a frequent visitor to the Ress household, and that all of the figures were'strikingly accurate likenesses. .When Mr. Ross made himself known: the' man was dumbfounded for a moment, but immediately - expressed his deep sympathy, declaring his willingness to pay the $2,000 reward, and offered, in case the boy were found, to give the father $l,OOO a week for thirty weeks, for the privilege of exhibiting him!
