Roberts, the man whom Utah sent to Con gress with two wives, should go home and wait until after the fu neral of one of them. lie made it speech on the floor of the house in which ho called iittentiou to the great plurality by which ho was elected, and em phasized his claim that his con stituents "comprise the entire jxipulation of the .State of Utah," he did not help, his own cause, but he prejudiced that of his State. His subsequent argument that M)lygamy has beeu abandon ed in theory and is dying out in practice does not blind Congress or tho country to the fact that an avowed polygamist was selected to represent the State at large, and its conduct in relation to the evil will bo scrutinized with more care hereafter. As a defence, Robert's farewell address had no effect, and as an exposition of his relations wilh his State it was a blunder. At a recent sale in Washington county, Md., tho sabre and revol ber of Capt. Johnson Orrick, of Hancock were sold. Captain Or rick was a paymaster in tho Con federate army. While riding along tho National pike near In dian Spring in IKY.l or '(i t ho was shot by a Union soldier. The soldier disappeared and Orrick died soon after being shot. THE ItORDER RAID HILL.

On last Wednesday as Ex-commissioner, Amos Sharp, of Thompson township, was about to enter his store, he noticed a largo black dog lying iu front of the door. Although the dog was a strauger, he was peaeable look ing, and Amos saw no occasion for raising a fuss with him. But just as Mr. Sharp was passing through the door, the .dog slipped up and bit the gentleman in tho leg. Fortunately for Mr. Sharp, his clothing was heavy aud uo blood was drawn.

The Terriblo took a prominent part lu the bombardment of Odessa. Our second lieutenant, Mr. S., was liot a temperate man. Before the bombard ment begun lie sought fur courage lu a square faced bottle, and when the drum beat to quartern lie was iu Ills cabin In a drunken sleep, from which he could not be awakened. As I was mldshtpmaD of his quarters, I had to fight his guns. In the evening, when be came to himself, lie was put under arrest, and we midshipmen speculated whether he would be Bliot or hung at the yardann. Either would have been a thrilling episode, but I am not sure that his fate was not even more tragic. As soon as tho anchor was dropped In the Golden Morn, off Stnmboul, the captain ordered, "Man the second gig." We nil wondered. Then he said, "Tell Mr. S. I want him." Poor S. came up at once, greatly as tonished at the summons. 'The second gig is manned, Mr. S.," aid the skipper sternly and turned away. 8. took the hint, stepped at once Into the boat and was lauded at the nearest shore. From that day no soul ever heard what became of him. Whether he committed suicide, whether he got other employment (not a difficult mat ter In those busy times), whether, un der another name, he won for himself the respect of his fellow men has nev er been known. Contemporary Re view. John Bull nnl the I.lnt. What could be more absurd than the conventional types of the nations those types which we see and accept almost every day' Fugland Is pecul iarly unfortunate. To express our na tional characteristics we have a choice of two llgiu-cs. either a burly farmer or a lion. The British lion gets some lit tle support from heraldry, uud the na tional vanity Is nattered by the anul ogy of our powers to those of the king of beasts. But otherwise how little ap propriateness there Is In representing us by an animal which most English men have only seen In the degrading captivity of u menagerie, which has never within historical times Inhabited their Islands anil about willed ttiey know almost nothing. ' Considering also the chronically de pressed state of British agriculture. It seems an Ironical thing that the Brit ish nation should be typllied by u farm er. If he were a manufacturer or a merchant or a seaman, there would be some appropriateness, but the utout eighteenth century John Bull with whom v.'c are so familiar from allusion aud picture Is a being quite unknown to us In the llesh. He Is just a good ex ample of the time honored. Inaccurate, conventional type. All vigor and sug gest! venoss have long departed from the figure. But we are too Indolent to replace him. -London Globe. St'w- York UoMiiltnllty. The hospitality of smaller places Is rare If not unknown In New York. Hospitality there Is different aud tends to be swamped by numbers aud even chilled Into an apparent Indifference that Is really compelled by circum stances. Often It makes n brave light and never wholly gives up, but It Is a struggle ngalust great odds. Not sel dom It happens that the enormous ag gravation of social aud Intellectual op portunities that confronts country peo ple who come to live In New York so discourages them that they eud In liv ing narrower lives In the great city and seeing fewer people than In the smaller town from which they came. And If It does not discourage them It Is apt to drive them too hnrd. A New Yorker who already had a house In town and another lu tho country near by excused himself for building a third In New Hampshire by saying: "In town or near town I never get lo.ay from engagements. I want a place where I can hove some leisure, and leisure to a New Yorker means, of course, a chance to do some work."
