Why 111lakhormiefilames Abhor Pork.
In Europe, for many centuries, the
only animal food in general use was
pork—beef, veal and mutton being com
paratively unknown. It was, therefore,
with no small astonishment that the
crusaders, on returning from the East,
said they had been among people who,
like the Jews, thought pork unclean,
and refused to eat it. But the feelings
of lively wonder which this intelligence
excited were destroyed as soon as the
cause of the fact was explained. This
snkject was taken up by Matthew
Parrs, the most eminent historian dur
ing the thirteenth century, and one of
the most eminent during the Middle
Ages. This celebrated writer informs
us that the Mulionimodans refuse to eat
pork on account of a singular circum
stance which happened to their prophet.
It appears that Mahommed having, on
one occasiri4i, gorged himself with food
and drink till ho was in a state of in
sensibility, fell asleep on a dunghill,
and in this disgraceful position was
seen by a litter of pigs. The pigs at
tacked the fallen prophet, and suffoca
ted him to death; for which reason his
followers abominate pigs, and refuse to
partake of their flesh. This striking
fact explains one great peculiarity of
the Mahommedans; and another fact
%Emily striking, explains how it was
that their sect came into existence.
For it was well known that Mahornmed
was originally a Cardinal, and only be
came a heretic because be failed in his
design of being elected Popo.

His Strength.—J eter Jefferson's phy.
sique is described by Mr. Randall, as
follows :—" Ile was a man of gigantic
stature—plain, and averse to display--
be was grave, taciturn, slow to make,
and not over prompt to accept, advan.
ces. lie was one of those calmly and
almost sternly self•relying men who
lean on none—who desire help from
none. And he certainly had both mus
cles and mind which could. be trusted I
He could simultaneously /head up'
(raise from the sides to an upright po
sition) two hogheads of tobacco, weigh
ing nearly 1,000 lbs. apiece I He once
directed three able-bodied slaves to pull
down a .ruinous shed by moans of a
rope. After they had again made the
effort, he bade them stand aside, seised
the rope, and dragged down the strut).
ture in an instant. Traditions have
come down of his continuing his lines
as a surveyor through savage wilder
nesses, after his assistants had given
out from famine and fatigue, subsisting
on the raw flesh of game, and even of
his eating mules, when other food had
failed."
Ifisl - The Erio 06server says Gen.
Shields, formerly of Illinois, but killed
in that state for voting for the Nebras
ka Bill, has come to life again. A few
years ago, ho left Illinois, with an axe
on his shoulder, and an ox goad in his
hand, wended his way to Minnesota,
where he employed his time in cutting
timber, and hauling rails. We predict.
ed that he would turn up, some day or
other in the Senate, and now the proph
ecy is fulfilled. Ile has just been
elected to the 13. S. Senate, by the
Democrats.
Hard Times for Preachers.—The
foi
loaing is . an extract from a letter sent
from a minister in Illinois: " Preachers
feel these hard times sensibly. For
more than two months I have not had
a cent, except what I have received for
marrying, and marriage fees are not
very large in this region."
Horace Greeley at Church.—Mr. Gree
ley, says the Chicago, Journal, attend
ed St. Paul's church on Sunday evening.
One who sat near him says : lie came
in rather late—took a seat—put on his
glasses—looked up at the ceiling—then
took a glance at the audience on either
side of him—leaned back in his seat, and
—went to sleep?
Good.—The Banner of Liberty, speak
ing of those free State men who would
not vote when the whole responsibility
of the slavery question was upon them,
says : "In refusing to vote, these fel
lows remind ono of a spunky boy that
refuses to eat his supper until after the
table h 9 beau cleared, so as to have
something to cry about."

A Law gimbaled Terllll4l
His Idterriew with Ris Succemor.—
The following is a counterpart to one
of the principal incidents in Itheade's
story of White Lies :
In May, 1855, a man, named R. M.
Mellen, engaged in keeping a news de
pot in Chicago, left home after tea in
apparent health,'and no trace of him
could afterwards be found. All sorts
of rumors were afloat as to what had
become of him. It was supposed he
had met with foul play, and the river
was dragged for his body. Next (ru
mor originated the story) it was sup
posed he had wandered off insane, and
was concealed in the woods near Belvi
dere,' and hundreds - of men turned out
for the purpose of capturing him, Then
a dead body was found 'near Rock Riv
er, which piany of bis friends identified
as his, altho ugh . on this point there was
considerable difference of opinion.
At all events, no trace of him could
be found, after giving the police an in
finite deal of trouble. He left a wife
and one or two children, and about
three weeks ago, Mrs. 3lellen, having
mourned her hnshand's loss for three
years, laid aside her weeds, and got
married to a Mr. W. 11. Austin, a prin
ter. Of a sudden she received a letter
from Mellen, informing her of his inten
tion to return home, and hard upon its
heels, on Wednesday last, he followed.
Ile says ho wandered away in a fit of
insanity ; went to Memphis, thence to
New Orleans, and at last to California,
whore he engaged in various occupa
tions. The Chicago Tribune, of Thurs
day morning, concludes an account of
the matter as follows:
" Mellen visited his wife, or rather
Mrs. Austin, yesterday, amt also Mr.
Austin. The latter refused !Joint blank
to"give Mrs. A. up. What the upshot
of the affair will be is not easily guess
ed. If both insist upon having posses
sion of the lady, a very interesting law
suit will doubtless' be the result. Mrs.
Mellen, or Austin, did not obtain a di
vorce before her marriage with Austin.
" What the real motive was which in
duced Mellen to absent himself fin• so

Tourkiss Incident
The Buflido Con mrrcial says that the
Rector of St. Paul's Church, in that
city, had reached the middle of his dis
course on Christmas Eve, when a dele
gate from heathendom came up, the
south aisle. It was a young squaw,
with a half-heathenish, half civilized
dress, a diminutive bonnet hanging on
the back of her head by the strings,
and a calico shawl of gay colors wrap
ped around her like a blanket. She
came along with the slow Indian step,
until, near- the front of the church, a
gentleman gate het a seat. Sho sat
down as if unaccustomed to cushions,
but maintained her good behavior, ex
cept when the Vector was more than
usually emphatic, she felt called upon
to express her apptocid by an audible
" dat's;good I" Daring the singing of
the closing hymn she stood up with the
rest, evidently much excited, leaning
eagerly forward, her frame quivering
with the new emotion of organic music.
But after the benediction, when tho
choir performed an anthem, she rushed
out of the pew into the space before the
chancel, where she stood unconscious
of the 'gaze of the congregation, her
eyes fixed on the organ, and aU the
strangeness of her position forgotten in
the rash of sensation produced by the
rich notes of the organ and the exulting
chorus of the anthem. Poor child of

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
A Singular Statement.
In Governor Denver's message to the
Territonal Legislature of Kansas, he
calls attention to the existence of n
" Danite " Mormon organization in
Kansas, whose members ado bound by
the most solemn oaths and obligations
to resist the laws i take the lives of their
follow citizens, or commit any other
act of violence that may be directed by
their leaders; and to the existence of
this band he attributes certain assassi
nations that have been recently perpe
trated in the Territory. The Wash
ington Union suggests a complicity be
tween the disturbers of the peace in
Kansas and the Mormon traitors, which
hits been rumored, and that possibly
the necessity of retaining the Utah ex
pedition in Kansas during the past
summer may have been created by
Brigham Young'S lagents; and, as a
consequence, ho 'was thus enabled to
maintain his powerat Great Salt Lake
City a year longer. It is believed, al
so, that the " bogus" telegraphic de
spatches concerning the condition and
progress of the military expedition
against Utah, which generally reach
here two or three days in advance of
the more reliable information, is fur
nished by this Mormon agent in Kansas.
The statement of the existencerof the
organization is certainly a singular ono,
and coining from official sources, scorns
entitled to belief. The Government
will, no doubt, institute such inquiries
as will establish its truth or falsity.

" Poets speak of the luxury of woe,'

Outrages have come to be a matter of
necessity; and the calamity wilhigirive
people of their livelihood. What will
Greeley do without his outrages? He
can set up the' cry for 'Protection to
American Outrages,' and require of
Congress to interfere in behalf of this
branch of home industry.; but in the
meantime what are his readers to do
without their daily outrage—their
brown-toasted free State mon and hung
clericals, which they are accustomed to
partake of for breakfast ? •

officers hung. This was a most grati
fying evidence of' the capacity of the
distant soil of Utah for the growth of
outrages; but we fear that this beauti
ful and efforvescent, specimen has been
brought out too lam alphe year, and
will perish in the frost
