I Mormoniam is still in practical 'operation
amongst us. On Friday last, a tall, raw-bon-
I cd saint, with a .complexion very strongly re-
I sombling that of boiled tripe, arrived here
With a couple hf wives: but
deeming his flock* too small to proceed Salt
iiakeward with, held forth’ as follows to an ad
minng audience, at a house over the canal,
with a view to the perfection, of the material
necessary to thd completeness of his domestic
telicifrjr,,. His text was: '
i skeerce and weemen is plenty J*
” Etomron and sisteri*—particularly the sis*
tern . I want to say a few, words to you about

Mormoniam is built on that high bid prin-
I ciple which sez that it* dint good for man to,
be alone, and a mighty sight worse for a Wo-
J man.- :,therefore, if a man feels good with'a
I i™°company, a good deal of it ought to make
I nim feol an awful sight better. -
The first of Mormonism is, that
weeihen .aro,a good thing; and the second
prmciple isj that you cannot have too much .of
a gooa thing, .Weemenis tenderer than man,

-,I .-Bed ;tnat weemen is: tenderer than man;
but, you need'ntfeelstuck up about it, for so
she ought.to be; she.was ninde so a purpose,
■put how was she made .so ?■ .Why, she was
created out of the side bone of d‘ man, and' the
side bono.of a'mah is like the side boneibf a
turkey—the tonderest part of him. There
fore,as a woman has three side bones and a;
| man. only one; of course she is three times as
fender,as a man ;is-. and. is- in duty bound -to
repay that tenderness of which she has robb-'

But as weemen is more tender than a man/

Talleyrand and Arnold, .
; There was a day when, Talleymlid arrived
1 im Havre on foot from Paris,; It was tho dar
kest hour of tho Revolution. . Pursucd by tho
blood-hounds of tho Beigh of stripped
of every wreck of property, Talleyrand secur
ed a passage to America in'a ship about to; I
sail. . He was a beggar and a wanderer to a I
strange iland, to earn his daily bread by labor. I
“Is there any American stopping at your!
house, "he asked tho landlord of the hotel.—
" I am bound to cross the water,'ind would
hke.a letter to a person of influence in Amer
ica.” ...
The landlord hesitated a moment and then
replied: ■
■ “ There is a gentleman lip stairs, butwhoth
,er he' came from America or Englandis morel
than I can telL” ; ... ,
. pointed'the way, and Talleyrand—who,
in his life, was bishop, prince and
ascended the stairs; a miserable suppliant
stood,before the door, knocked.and'
was admitted, ■ ' • ,
In a far corner of the dimly lighted room,.
sat a man of some .fiftyycars,-his arms folded
and'his head bowed upon his breast. Prom a
window directly opposite, a flood of light pour
ed upon hi B f ore h e ad. . His eyes looked from
beneath the down-cast, brows, and upon Tal
leyrand’s face, with a peculiar-and searching
expression. His face was striking in outline,;
-the mouth and-ohin indicative of an iron-will.
His form, vigorous oven with the snows of fif
ty was clad in a dark, but rich and distin
guished Costume. . ‘ i
' Talleyrand advanced—stated that he was'a
.fugitive—and the impression .that the;gentle-1
man before. Him was an, American solicited his
kind feelings and .'
Ho poured forth his history in. eloquent’
French and broken English. ■ ; .
“I am.a wanderer and ,an exile. lam
forced to fly tu the IVow World without friond!j
or shelter. You are an American ? Give mo
then, ! beseech you,’a letter of yours; so that
I may be able to earn-my bread. ■I am wil-q
, Jins to toil in : a manner—a'lifo of labor would!
be a paradise to;a career of luxury in Franco.
You will gjive mb a letter to your friends? A
gentleman like you ■ doubtless has many
friends.” ! . r ■■■;!■•
i The strange gentleman arose. - With a look
that Talleyrand never forgot, ho retreated to
wards the door of the next chamber, his eyes
still looking from, bjneatli liis darkened brow.!]
“I am the only mad of 'tho nbw 1 world who
can raise his hand to God and sayrXhavel
not a friqnd—not one—in all America.” ■
Talleyrand never {brgot tho overwhelming,
sadnbes of look which'accompanied ‘these 1
words. ' T:r;-i-
“ Who; are you?” he cried, as tho strange
man retreated to the next roqip, “•yournamo?”
~ “, m Y name,” ho replied, with.,a smile tlmt
had more of mockery than joy .in the convul- 1
sive expression, “ my' name is Benedict Ar-’

Seefies on a'fSlavo Sfiip
Th 'a newspaper report'of the taking 'of a
| slayer by thb ’United' Statessfeiimer Crusader,
'Wo* fin'd* the following graphic description; 1
• ‘’Fora little while"there wiia dead silence
on board both ships, though' the increasing ]
* strong ammomcal African odor placed, beyond i
all doubt the fact,that the barkhad und«her :
hatches a cargo of negroes ; and noy m bo-
S ln . to hear a sort of suppressed nWaning
Which' soon swelled into tlie unmistakable
murmur of human voices. As our boat
reached the side of the bark, and-the officers
' in e,la . r SO sprang bn the deck; with a'tremen
uoiiff shout, the hatches wore forced open from
below, and out burst hundredsdrself-liberat
od slaves, As thoy.caught sight of the stars
and stripes floating so near—which no doubt
seemed to. those poor wretches like h bright
rainbow of promise—they become almost per-,
feotly frantic with joy and delight.
“They climbed,up all along the rail, they
hungvMi, the shrouds, they clustered like
Swarming bees in the rigging, while there
rose from Sea to sky the wildest acclamations
of delight. ‘ They danced * and leaped, and
waved their arms in the air, and yelled in a
discordant: but pathetic concert; There was
one thing, however, oven more touching than
all this outcry of barbaric rejoicing. My at
tention was attracted to a group consisting-of
somewhat more than a hundred women, with
drawn apart frotn the noisy and shouting
men. Their behavior was in strong contrast
with that of the others, and was characteristic
of their sex. Entirely nude, but innocently
unabashed, they sat of knelt in tearful and
silentthankfulness. Several of them hold in
fants in their arms, and through their tears
like sunshine from behind a cloud, beamed ari
expression of the deepest gratitude and thank
fulness. , The men looked as though they had
jupt-been raised from, the,deepest despair to
the most exultant state of gladness. '
The scene of .Confusion on board the bark,
when the' negroes found themselves released
from the accustomed restraint, baffles all de
sonption!
They had, of course, all been kept on a
very small allowance of food and wnterduring
the passage., The first use they made of their
liberty was, to, satisfy their, hunger and thirst,
which they did by, breaking info the bread
barrels and- water'casks, and then ~ funning
about eating, drinking, dancing , and .soream
mg all ht once. It- mattered hut little to]
them what' sort of'vessels they drank' from'; j
bucks, boxes and troughs,'were all brought/
iuto requisition.: I even saw several, fellows I
happy and delighted, with a piece of bread in I
one hand and a wooden spittoon half‘fuUof /1
muddy water in the’other.
“ As soon as : their appetites wore satisfied,
the; African fondnoes for finery began to show
itself, and all t|)o, loose, ajrtiolo? in, the ship
, were employed ns personal, ornaments. Some
fastened belaying picks to’ their wrists, and
I some strutted proudly about with copper la
dles hung around thoirnoeks. By-this, time,
.howfover, a detachment pf,.marines arrived
from the Crusader, and‘ order waj at once n
stored, and inf 'organization established.' '• The
negroes were clothed with pieces- of canvass;
anddho captain, supercargo, and, crew, sent on
board the Crusader ns prisoners.”
