"When Madanie; de. 8tal entered a full room, says a writer In LippinootC$, and the eyes of all -were instantly tamed on her, she suffered a mo jnentarr timidity: and needed a strong effort to collect herself; .Jbut as soon as the ball was set In jjqotlon, selX-obllylon came to the rescue, and the .sjxagle power had fall control. Then her face, not regular In outline or ordinarily , accounted hand some, was spiritualised Into beauty by a mobility ihat expressed every emotion, and above all by the brilliancy of her Urge blsck Vyes, which now sparkled, now glowed, how swim with a lucent moisture. (J ler figure, so large and massively built as to suggest masculine strength and robust HeVwaryet graceful fn It motions and poses. Her dress displayed her finely-shaped arms aud her full respirations. "With all the wit and In tellect," writes the 'German poet Ardut, "that Sparkled In her eyes and bubbled from her lips, what predominated was an enchanting expression of goodness and sense." A-notion exists that adame de 8 tail was adeclalmer; that she ln- idoJged In monologue ; that she talked for display. ' uivthls Is not, I think, asserted by any who JcnewJier personally, and it Is expressly denied by. those who knew her bestr , It If inconsistent with her intense earnestness, her transparent sincerity, - nd her absorbed interest in the subjects she most '. ; often discussed. Her object was not to dazzle, but -to convince and to influence. Hence she never indulged in paradox, and seldom, except in a mall company, In playful raillery; while per , lflage was not onlyrevoiting to her, but had the . Jxrwer to disconcert and silence her a distinction : which it shared with stupidity. As to trivial gos sip, she was apt to interrupt it with remarks that acted like a bombshell. There were times, though " they were rare, when her vehemence brooked no ..contradiction, and others, more frequently, when t- it hurried herinto exaggerations: but In general . Tfcer utterances were marked by thirgreatest candor - and simplicity, and were, like her nature," In tensely sympathetic,, appealing to thexknowledge, the intelligence, the feelfngs of her listeners, ex- ' citing1 them to reply, arousing all tuelrNpowers. 9uen"pciarnxnisr-"hato-yotr- think T' fmueIlrwlnofXta.Creek Colfax rountyy was the challenge, delivered with a. beaming mile after some transcendent bunt! witty ; Lord. .Dudley, who was much given abstractedness In company, callwliierabad h neighbor; you would have no chance to slumber; he would have detected you Instantly." Goethe, too, complains of her insisting always on a reply, -"demanding that one should pipe one's little song on the instant,'' as welf as her bewildering rapid ity of utterance and the swift succession of thoughts and Images which she evoked ; while he acknowledges what gave' its fiber to her elo quence the force and sagacity with which she discussed characters and events.. '.- ' ". THE OTHER SIDE. ' We have often written plainly In regard to the "Utah problem,'! and -believe that the easiest method of solving it is to disfranchise ail Tor : inons (polygam lstsj because they are offenders galnst-the-jawsaBd-co-more deserving of - the 1 ballot than other criminals. If they were de prived of political power, the statutes against their practices could be enforced. But, as we al ways wish to be falrin dlscussjng any question, we give the remarks made In defense of poiyganiy by Bishop Lunt to a reporter of the San Francisco , ; God revealed to Joseph Smith the polyagmous system.' It Is quite true that his widow declared that no such revelation was ever made, but that was because sne naa lost the spirit. .Uod com manded the human race to multiply and replen ish the earth.-Abraham had two wives, ana the Almighty honored the second one by a- direct communication. Jacob had Leah and Zllpah. Pavld had a plurality of wives, and was a man r Uod' own heart. Uod frave him Haul's wives and only condemned his adulteries. Moses,' Gideon and Joshua had each a plurality of wives. Solomon had wives and concubines by hundreds, . tnougn we uo not neueve in me concubine sys- - tern. - We leave that to the Ueut lies. Virtus snd chastity wither beneath the. monogamlc instltu i - tlon. which was borrowed from the pagan nations , .byjthe early Christians. 1 t was prophesied that iu the latter days seven wonier would-lay bold of one man ami demand to (ear his name that they might not be held In dishonor. The Protestants and Catholics assail us with very poor grace when it Is remembered that the first pillars of the religion they claim to profess were men like the saints of Utah polygamies. The fact cannot be denied. Polygamy is virtually en couraged and taught by example by the Old Tes tament. It may appear shocking and blasphe mous to Gentiles for us to say so, but we hold that Jesus Christ himself was a poly gam 1st". He was surrounded by women, constantly, as pthe -7-ficripturea attest nd those women were' his . polygamous wives. The vast disparity between - the sexes In all settled communities Is another ar gument In favor of polygamy,' to aay nothing of the disinclination among young male Gentiles to marrying. The monogamlo system condemns millions of wometLto celibacy. A, Urge propor tion of them stray from the jmth of right, and these unfortunates Induce millions of men to - forego marriage. As I have said, virtue and Vs Chastity wither-Under the monogamlo system. : There are no Illegitimate, children In' Utah; there are no libertines ; there are no brothels, ex- ceptlng where the pnsiucef Gentiles creates the demand for them. Even then ourjneople do what theyxanf i nut out such plaeesr There isa pof tlve advantage In having more than one wife. It s impossible vl find a Gentile home, where comforts and j nty prevail, In which there Is only one won .i. No one woman- can manage a household, r must have alstance. Hence i we claim th when a man marries a second, wife je actually benefits the first one, and contributes to her ease, and relieve her of a large burden of care. The duties of the household are divided be tween the two women, and everything moves on harmoniously aud peacefully. The whole thing is a matler el education. - A girl reared under; th monogamlc system may look with abhorrence oh ours ; our yoanir women do not dr so. They ex pect, when they marry a man, that he will some day take anotherwlfe, and they consider It quite natural roai ne anouia uo sc in weaiiny, uen tile communities the concubine system largely takes the place of the polygamous system. Any man of Intelligence, observation and travel knows that such is the case. The fact is Ignored by gen eral consent, and little Is said about it, and noth ing Is written about it. It Is not regarded a a proper subject or conversation or. or publication. How much better to give lonely ' wotuen a home while they are unooutamlnated. and honor them with your name, and perpetually provide for mem, ana before the world recognize your own offspring j The polygsmous system Is the only natural, one, ana toe time rapidly approaches when it will be the most conspicuous and benefl cent of American institutions. It- will be the grand, characteristic feature of American society. Our women are contented with It more, they are the most ardent defenders of it to be found in Utah. If the question were put to a vote to-mor row, nine-tenths or me women or Utah would vote to perpetuate polygamy. . -77., Cok.xei) Beef. A lady of Harrisburg sends the followlngreelpe for making corned beef : '- For' 100 pounds of beef. Cut It up ;- have half a peck of salt, a quarter of a pound of saltpeter, the same weight of saleratus, and two pounds of brown sugar; strew some salt in the bottom of a tub: then put4n a layer of meat, and alternately until all the meat is put down ; , let it lie one night ; then dissolve the saleratus and saltpeter In a little water, and put it with the sugar; add water to th salt and meat nearly to cover It; then takeout the meat, and boil the brine: skim it clear; then add the saltpeter, saleratus and sugar to it, Juid Kur it hot over the meat, or (as some prefer it) ; it become cold before putting It over the meat. If the brine Is put on hot. it will be fit for use in twenty-tour hours: if cold. It is geod in ten days. Beef tongues may be done the same. . ir tn wui ateAketia,7 Take your old sewing machines to Garrison's sewing machine store, 167 Third street, lie has employed one of the best adjusters and sewing machine repairers on the coast.
