M0R3I0X HISTORY. The Oirouologry of the Lnllcr-Dn' Kaints. T lie existing crish in Utah lends interest to the following Fk.-teh of Mormon history, furnished to the New York Herald by Elder Ernest Eisle: Joseph Smith, the nronlut and founder of the Church, was l,orn in the State of Vermont, in the year of r jmi isoo. The designs of 1 lea ven were first made known to him at the early age of fifteen, when ho was informed in a vision of the utter njios tasy of the primitive Church. Sep temler 22, 1&27, Joseph Smith receiv ed trom the hands of a messenger from the Lord the golden records, eontaining the ancient history of this eoutinent, written by various proph ets, and concealed by Moroni in the year 420. Joseph was tben informed that he was to k mi instrument in the hands of Gcxl to reestablish His hurch on the earth in its former pur ltyand holiness. The prophet then piweeded to translate the golden re t-on is. l.S.iU-The "Church" was organized. 1.H.5.J our people sullered great per xccution in Independence. Mo. lKi7 Elders and priests were pent to the different nations of the earth in order to establish the "Church throughout the world. is;8 Persecution raged. Theproph et was letrayed into the hands of his enemies by a second Judas a pro- lesseu iriemi. Shortlv afterward (lov Jtoggs, of Missouri, issued his order of extermination, followed by the mas sacre or a number ot our people in that State. ls;!) The people began to build auvoo, 111. 1H41 The corner stone of the Xau voo Temple was laid by the prophet Josopli prophesied that our people would be driven to the Iloeky Mountains. 1S44 The prophet and his brother were murdered in the prison at Carth age, 111. During an eventful life of thirty-nine years he was arrested triea and Honorably acquired over forty times, which so incensed his enemies that they sshed the blood of innocent men. Jieiore going to prison losepli said, in a prophetic manner "I go like a lamb to the slaughter but I am as calm as a summer's morn ing, for my conscience is void of of fense toward God and toward all men. It shall be said of me, 'He was mur tiered in cold blood.'" 184.5 A large mob, led on lv two Christian ministers, attacked Jfauvoo and a battle was fought. 1846 The exodus from Nauvoo be gan. A Mormon regiment was sent to Mexico by order of the Uuited Htates. 1847 President Young enterei Utah, known at that time as the (J rent American Desert. i4 ine moo set tne temple in Isauvoo on fire. 1S.j2 Revelation of polygamy first made Known. i-Mnce tnat time we have caused Utah to blossom as the rose, reared the most moral city on 'artli, and while President Young has governed us, known little or no crime withstood two military expeditions have been applauded for our firmness ami called 1y the London Times a nation of heroes, and I here affirm f hat we are a loyal, law-abiding peo ple, and desire nothing more tliau the liroKjKjrity ot our Territory. .Mr. James jetlries, residing near Jamestown: Ky.. says the Hwiiisville Journal, says that he was married )efore he was seventeen vears old It is wife being only five days younger than himself. They lived together seven years without children, when his wife gave birth to twins, a lxy and a girl. In the fifteen years whiel followed, nineteen cnildren were lorn to the happy couple, each of the first three births being twins, and each sulisequent birth alternating be tween twins and single births until the fifteen years were accomjdished, and nineteen children composed the family circle, seven pair of twins be ing lrn during the time. Mr. Jef fries is only forty-five years old, and is still youth 'ul .in appearance and very stout. His wife never had bet ter health in all her life than at pres ent, though she will not weigh a hun dred pounds. Her greatest weight, at any time, was 110 pounds, The loy of the first twins now weighs l-" jiounds, the girl 12.) pounds. All the boys who are grown have made large men; the girls are of good si.eand all ttie children healthy. But five out of the nineteen have died. Swekt Temper. No trait of char acter is more va'uaole in a woman than the pot-session of a sweet tem per. Home can never be happy with out it. It is like the flowers that sprang up in our pathway, reviving and cheering us. Let a man go home at night wearied bv the toils of the day, and how soothing is a word dic tated by a good disposition. It is Kuoshine falling on his heart. He is happy, and the cares are forgotton. A sweet temper has a soothing influ ence over the minds of the whole family. Where it is found In the wife and mother you observe kind ness and love predominating over the natural feeling of abad heart. Smiles, kind words and looks, characterize the children, and peace and love have thoir dwelling there. A sweet tem per is more valuable than gold; it captivates more than bcauy, and to the close of life it retains all its fresh ness and power. The Western Cattle-Blindness. A singular disease of the eye?, re uniting in blindness, is prevailing among cale in Western Missouri. In the early stage of the disease the eyr-s commence swelling, at the same time running water. The swelling laats from five to fourteen days, and when the discharge of water ceases, a firm white film covers the eyes, com pletely destroying sight. The disease id said Hot to impair the general health of the animal. The Kansas City Times, (Jackson County, Missouri,) states that this "epidemic" is thread ing rapidly through that country, and along the line of the Memphis and Kansas City llailroad. In Independ ence from thirty to forty cattle, eome if them very fine animals, are com pletely blind, and in Kansas City there are two hundred blind cows, some of the dairies having had fifteen blind.

As I was about to pass my first night in a Japanese house, I watched anxiously the preparationsof sleeping. These are very simple a mattress in the form of a very thick quilt, about esven feet long by four wide, was spread on the lloor, and over it was laid an ample robe, very long, and heavily padded, and provided with long sleeves. Having put on this dress, the sleeper covers himself with another quilt, and sleeps, i. e., if he has had some years practice in the use of this bed. But the most remarkable feature about a Japanese bed is the pillow. This is a wooden box about four inches high, eightinches long, and twoinches at the top. It has a cushion of folded papers on the upper side to rest the neck on, for the eialiorate manner of dressing the hair does not permit the Japanese, especially the women, to press the head on the pillow. Every morning the uppermost paper is takeu off from the cushion, exposing a clean surface without the expense of wash ing a pillow-slip. I passed the greater part of the night in learning how to poise my head in this novel manner; and when I fin ally c losed my eyes, it was to dream that 1 was being slowly beheaded, and to wake at the crisis to find the pillow bottom side up, and m. neck resting on the sharp edgeof the box. During my stay in the country I learned many of its customs, mastering the use of the chop-sticks, and accustom ing my palate to raw fresh fish, but the attempt to balance my head on a two-inch pillow I gave up in despair, after trying in vain to secure the box by tying it to my neck and head. The united railway directors of Ger many met recently at Berlin, and hav ing completed their deliberations, gave themselves a grand dinner. Long be fore the guests had become merry with wine, the waiters exhibited an hil arity at variance with their natural de mureness, and the waiting became somewhat slack if not grotesque. In fdvvt, the gucs-U were not seated many minutes when it became but too patent that the whole corps of waiters was dead drunk. But instead of temporiz ing with the merry crew until they had quietly teeu got away, one of the railroad magnates, accustomed to rule, violent ly remonstrated with one of the worst otVenders, and the latter answered by a terrible box on the director's ear. This scandal of course was not to be borne; the whole company aroe like one man, crying for vengeance, while the rebel lious waiters took their daring collea gue's part. Blows fell thick and fast, and the skirmish was not terminated until a posse of constables came to res cue the millionaires from the host of waiters. Whatever is highest and holiest is tinged with melancholy. The eye of genius has always a plaintive expres sion, a.ul its natural language is jathos.

The Grandest Kailwny Project f Ihe Age. The Boston Post says it is propos; ed to construct, or perfect by a union of railroad lines already constructed, a continuous route of travel from Ijondonto Bombay, by which the journey may be made, without change of car?, in five days, sixteen hours and forty-eight minutes a very nice calculation, surely, when the distance is considered, which is 5,339 miles but the variation of a minute or two in the titne, either way, will constitute no serious grou id of complaint r objection to the scheme. The contemplated route is by way of Dover Straits. 28 miles, and through France by existing lines and the Mount Cenis Tunnel, to Tri este, whence tho line Is to be com pleted through Austria, European and Asiatic Turkey, Persia, Beloo chistac. to Kurrachee, and so on to Bombay. A tunnel is to be built under the channel to complete an unbroken line of rail; but until that don, the Straits will be crossed by powerful steamer with a degree of certainty, which, unless in extreme weather, will not, it is apprehended, affect the question of time more than a minute or so. The plan ha3 been laid before Mr. Gladstone, with the expectation that his influence may secure the needed aid from the Brit ish Government. Two hundred millions of dollars in gold are required to complete this line; and Eugland setting a strong example, it is proposed that the diff erent countries through which the line passes should bear each its due share of the cost of the grand enter prise. The idea is neither chimeri cal nor impracticable, nor does it ex ceed in magnUude and grandeur the Pacific Railroad, which our young country has conjtructcd without ex traneous aid. Hens in Place of Dogs. There h hardly a family that does not throw away enough table scraps to feed at least half a dozn hen8, and many that keep a nuisance in the shape of a dog, that does no good, but costs more than a dozen good hens, complain that thpy cannot afford to keep hens. One dog in a neighborhood is generally a greater trouble to the neighbors than a flock of hens would be, for If hens are well fed at home they will rarely go away. But who ever saw a dog that was not a pet, running across the new ly made garden, and sticking his nose into everything. Kill the curs and give the food to the hens, and you will find a pleasure as well as a profit in to doing. We wish there was a tax of one hundred dollars on every dog in the country. Those that are of value as watch dogs could be retained, while hosts of snarl ing dirty curs would give place to some nire useful and le?s troublesome iets. l'oullrij Journal.

A poultice was made of stewed pumpkins, which was re newed every fifteen minutes, and in a short time produced a pertoct cure, The fever drawn out by the poultice made them extremely onensive. knew a man cured of severe tofiama tion of the bowels by the same kind of application. Simple Cure for Bubs. A var nisber of metals, in Paris, got bis hand badly burned, and in his agony thrust it into a pot of varnish at his side. To his astonismmt the pain at once ceased, and the wound rapidly healed. This cure being reported around, persons in the neighborhood who had got burned came to the vai nisher and were cured in like man ner. The news spread far and wide, and finally reached the medical faculty and the varnisher was sent for to try his skill in the hospital. He respond ed to the call and succeeded in curing all on whom he operated. Ihe phi losophy of the cure is, the varnish keeps the burn from the air, and gives nature a chance to supply a new sKin under its protection. A Cheap Ice-House. Throw down a dozeu or two of old rails or poles on a piece of ground sufficiently inclined to carry of water, fill the crevices with old boards, slabs or bark, get from the sawmill a few loads of slabs, take four, eay twelve feet long, notch the corners like a log-house, set them on tfce platform, and you have a crib say ten feet square by the width of the slab deep nil this crib with sawdus aud pack it down hard. Cut your ice so that it will pack close, and t wo by four feet; lay it on the sawdust, put on another Crib of slabs and fill up and, pack hard with sawdust, all around, and so go on until you get np six or eight feet then put a foot and a half of sawdust on top over this put a shed roof of slabs one end of th slabs nearly to the ice, raising the other three feet. If ice is all that is wanted, it will keep in this manner as well as in a varnished houe. Pelt it Pull, ofrourse. There was a Sunday-school celebra tion in one of our churches a week or two ago, and the minister made a speech to the children, in which he endeavored to teach the nature of faith. So he told them the following story by way of illustration In the deepening twilight ofa sum mer's evening a pastor called .at the residence of one of his parishioners, and found seated in the doorway a little boy, with hands extended up ward holding a line. What are you doing here, my lit tle friend?" Inquired the minister. "Flying my kite, sir," was the prompt reply. "Flying your kite?" exclaimed the pastor. "I can see no kite you can see none." "I cannot sec it, but I know it is ther?, for I feel it pull." The children were all deeply inter ested, and the clergyman continued: "Now, in a few days after this, the mother of the little boy wa3 about to die, and she said to him "'My sou, when I am an angel, if I can, I will come and be with you, and guide you and shield you from all harm, and watch to see you grow up to be a good man.
