Douglas (the United States army post, three miles east,) and visited Salt Lake, either at Saltair or Garfield Beaoh, and has noted that the people look well-fed and comfortable, usually writes home that "the Mormons are just like other folks." Now, it was because they are not like other people that they went to Utah, aod for east reason Utah was kept a territory, under the direct control of tho Fede ral authority, long after its population and wealth entitled it to statehood. It is only a shallow person who faooies that what wo believe is of lit tle moment. Our conduct is con sciously or unconsciously constantly modified by what we believe. Tho be lief of thc Mormons made their con duct unendurable to the people of Ohio, where they first formed aohurch, at Kirtland. Driven out of Ohio, they made their way to western Mis souri, where, after a little, the people drove them away, unable to endure their presence, and they found refuge in Hancock County, Illinois. There their leader, Joseph Smith, was shot, in 1844, and from thence they were driven into an exodus to what was then a savage wilderness. I have never heard a word of Scrip ture read in any Mormon meeting I ever attended in Utah. The "Book of Mormon," and more especially a book called "The Book of Doctrine and Covenants," is constantly quoted. These books, they believe, contain in spired messages from God. The Mormon catechism for children teaches there are "many gods." For us "there is one god"-Adam, our father. As he, by the multitude of his descen dants, has become a god to this planet, so every Mormon man who has many wives and children in this world will become a god at the resurrection. He will then be given a star to dwell in,, and there, with his children, his family will continue to increase in numbers and glory forever. For people not Mormons there is no hereafter. To be saved, one must be immersed by a duly qualified Mormon elder; and as immersion is a saving ordinance, one may be baptized for all the dead members of his family, who had not the privilege of hearing of the gos iJl of Joseph Smith. Nay, it is a duty to be baptized for all the dead of one's family, for not only will they by the aot be saved, but they will increase the retinue of the patriarch at the last day. People go to Europe and search old records, and the tombstones in the ancient churches and burying grounds for tue names of their rela tives, and spend days and even weeks in the temples (there are four in Utah) being immersed for the dead. For each immersion there is a fee of two dollars, and people who do not attend to this duty have their names read out at the Sunday service, and are even severely disciplined by hoing de prived of water for their gardens or fields, or by having their neighbors refuse to either buy from them or sell them anything until they obey. The heads of the church are believed to be in direot communication with Heaven. Therefore, all commands of the church must be obeyed, au the voioe off God. There are three BIM ??t the head of the church. They form what is called "The First Presidency," and represent, it is whispered, "The Trinity." Mormon books say they represent Peter, James and John, the Savior's disciples. After them come the twelve apostles. Of this number the head of the Three is, by virtue of his office, one, and his vote at any time counts more than the other eleven. After the twelve comes the Patriarch. Ho has many subordinates. Their office is to bless the people. The blessings are always written ont, and are considered "lucky to have." Each costs two dollars. Then come the presidents of the seventies. There are over eighty seventies in Utah, and each seventy has seven presidents. Besides these officers, there are high priests and bishops, teachers and deacons, so that every Mormon man holds on office of some degree io the churoh. Even the boys of ten and upward* are organised into ci rel OH and have their officers. Each family ie visited every week, and "counseled" about its affairs. A Mormon may not move from one ward of a oity to another without his Bishop's permis sion, without brio gi og upon him the censuro of the church. No religious organization known exacts such min .ute obedience- from ita people.as docs Ute Mormon church. At a Word from the high officials, .tho Mcrmono are bound to vote os one, for any measure or any man indicated. It is thia faot, With the methods tho church haB used, and still uses to onforeo ito will, tbst baa made them intolerable neighbors. It is said they have changed. Deny it who will, they have only become more subtle, and are still a growing monaco to our commonwealth. The strong band of the army, like the airona hand of the law, cannot effect the change most vital to Utah. On; quiet missionaries are ?he only agents who osa produce it. Let us help them ail we can. Diversity and Prosper. A Dallas letter to the Chicago Re cord says: "Within (50 days thousands of ten ant farmers in the central, or blaok wax, belt of Texas-the richest agri cultural section of the State-have deserted their mature cotton crops be cause they could earn more money by picking cotton for wages than by gath* ering their own ero* s and paying the rent. This has foroed landlords upon whose bands rented farms were thrown back to import negro labor from south Texas to piek the deserted crops; and the cost of picking, whioh at the be ginning of the season was 35 cents a hundred pounds, has advanocd to 50 cents. Reports from Arkansas tell of similar conditions there. The acute distress caused by four-cent cotton may easily be appreciated when it is stated that the average cash yield of the staple at this price is less than $9 ac acre, gross. Out of this the ten ant pays one-fourth to the landlord, and, if he hires the cotton picked, about $3 an acre goes for that expense. The net result to the farmer is less than $4 an acre, and this pittance is more than exhausted if he is compell ed to hire help to plant and cultivate the orop. The best authorities agree that the day 77hen cotton would pay wages to the producer passed when the price dropped below seven cents a pound." This seems to be a somewhat exag gerated statement, but even allowing for some coloring there is enough in it to give pause to the oottontots of our own State. If cotton has fallen to a price whioh benumbs and disheartens Texas itself what folly it is for South Carolina to persist in relying on it! Here we have not the rich soil of Texas and must go to heavy expense tn fertilizing our cotton fields. Be cause of our local mill demand and our greater proximity to the northern and European markets we receive a somewhat higher price than the Texan planters do; but the difference is not sufficient to offset the advantage they have in their far more productive soil -they can make more cotton at less ?jost than we can. Moreover, Texas ietermines the price of the crop, and this we cannot do. So great is the industry in that State, and so vast is the yet unplanted area adapted pecu liarly to cotton culture, that it is now and must continue to be the cheapest producer of the staple; and the price Krill fall to the figure at which Texas 3an afford to make it. If all our 1,000,000-bale crop were wiped out it could hardly make a dif ference of half a cent a pound in the price of the remainder, BO we cannot ancourage the hope that even concert ad and successful action in South Carolina to reduce the crop would have an appreciable effect on the price. We ought to :ook at it fros mother standpoint, from the stand point of the individual, each farmer for himself-and let each for himself, without regard to the action of others, resolve to rely no longer upon a crop which is no longer profitable. South Carolina has not the excuse j? necessity which States farther west have for planting mainly of cotton. Her soil and climate are adapted to many other farm products and nature points to her ultimate destiny as a State of agricultural variety. She has much variety in soils, in climate, in elevation. She is near the great mar kets where many produots are in de mon/-! nwxA .ka Im -J *U IA. aa.SH.. k_!IJ -J - - - WUW HI " - ~ " MW* UIIIID ing up important home markets. Hew many things besides cotton she can raise at a profit 1 The whole range of farm enterprise is before her-tobac co, hay, wheat, oats, rice; fruits of many varieties, vegetables of all kinds; dairy and apiary products, cat tle, horses, hogs, sheep, poultry; oom, peas, cane, sweet potatoes; the list is endless. Everything that the north can produce and many sub-tropi cal products are within our range. All produeed now-to a limited ex tent-but cotton to an unlimited de gree. What but a lazy conservatism and a timorous temper prevents us from extending our attention to all these produots and others besides, while giving cotton no more than a fair plaee in the list? This State is to be, must sometime be, a State of small farms and greatly diversified products, and the sooner we resolve to meet our destiny half way the sooner we will prosper. There is money in everything we have named and more besides-money in moderate ventures, muoh money in the combi nation of moderate ventures. Diver sification is the keynote of our farm duty. With a variety of products the loasen on one or two or three which must always be looked for will not count against our general prosperity. Wo will have many supports, many sources of assured ineome. The text is an old one but it cannot be preached from too often, and it is more needed now than ever. The farm whioh supplies its own needs and has a little of many things to sell is a farm which can defy the gold stand ard, beean*} it is itself a gold mine.

Fitzhugh Lee is here to receive his final instructions from the Presideut and Secretary of War before startiug for Cuba with the 7th corps. Mrs. Lee has sufficiently recovered from her recent illness to warrant Gen. Lee in proceeding to Savaunth and re suming command of his corps. Il is the present understanding that Geu. Lee and his command will leave Sa vannah for Cuba not later than No vember 3. To this end the Govern ment has been assembling transports, of-whioh it has 14 on the Atlantic coast, inolusive of thc line steamers from New York to San Juan. Both the reports of Col. Lee and Col. Becker, who have been in Cuba for some weeks selecting respectively camp sitCB and landing places, have been received, and for a better under standing those officers have been order ed to report at Washington at once. The camp sites have been seleoted on the high lands about Havana, though necessarily a garrison will bo stationed in Havana also. The camps will be ideal spots, and have been laid out after the most modern and scientific methods. In the matter of landing places, Secretary Alger says the use of light ers will bc avoided. Only deep water harbors with ample pier facilities will be used for landing the troops, when neoessary requisite improvements will be made, and to this end material will be at once forwarded both for piers and for the establishment of oamps. Among the points recommended by Cul. Hecker outside of Havana and Gibora, are Mariel and Matanzas. Be sides these points attention will bo given to Manzanillo, where it has been determined to establish an important ?arrison, under the command of Col. *ettit now there with tbe 4th regiment of immunes. Although Gen. Lee will be in command, his corpa will be scattered at such points as they are needed. The cavalry division at Huntsville, which has been ordered to Savannah, will sail with the corps for Cuba. The greater part of the troops will land at Havana, and Gen. Lee is expected to go at the head of these. Besides the garrison at Monzanillo, there will in all probability be a gar rison established at Aolguin also. No trouble is feared with the insur gents, who will be fed with reasonable regard for their good, under the direc tion of American officers. A constabulary, composed mostly of Cubans, will bo established in the agricultural districts, and the cities will be policed by our own troops. Following the recommendations sub mitted by the late Col. Waring, the problem of draining the country dis tricts and cleaning up the cities will be a formidable ono. Many sugges tions were given on this point by Gen. Luston, under whose administration tho city of Santiago has been so trans formed. In this great undertaking much help will be needed, and Cuban labor will be availed of as far OB it is possible. The number of United States troops to go forward immediate ly will not be more than 15,000, and it is thought by Gen. MileB that no large number will be needed. The duties, it is thought, will be found lighter and lesB extended than it was anticipated, and it is not thought wise to expose now any more troops to the climate than are necessary.-News and Courier. Tte Backbiter Loses. "He who tries, directly or indirect ly, to injure another in business or reputation is always, eventually, the loser. The injured one, if he main tains his integrity, will come out of the furnace without the smell of fire on him, while the other will bear the taint of the intruder.

Edinburg University is said to be remarkable for its scarcity of cloak rooms, and in thc excitement of ex amination time hats are thrown down everywhere, even on the examiner's desk. "Harper's Round Table" tells a good anecdote of an examiner who had made himself obnoxious by warn ing the pupils not to put any hats on his desk. The examiner finally announced one day that if he ever found another hat on his desk he would rip it up. The next day no hats were laid there when the students assembled. Presently, however, the examiner was called out of the room. When some naughty undergraduate slipped from his seat, got the examiner's own hat, and placed it on his desk. When the examiner re-entered the hall every eye was fixed upon him. He observed the hat, and a gleam of triumph shot across his faoe. "Gentlemen," he said, "I told you what wonld happen if this occurred again." Tien he took his penknife from his pocket, opened it and badly out the hat in pieces, amid prolonged applause. What he said when'he dis covered that he had destroyed his own hat the story do n not say. The kidneys are email but impor tant organe. They need help occa sionally.

WASHIKOTON, NOV. 1.- Tho request of tho First Colorado Infantry to ho returned from Manila to the United States cannot be granted by the war department, lt was stated by offie rs of tho army to-day that such request had beeu frequent from soldiers of volunteer organizations who eulisted to fight, but did not enlist for garri son duty. The desire of this regi ment to return homo was simply the desire of other volunteers. Nothing could be done, an officer said, until Congress met and provided some kind of a force to take the place of volun teers. The subject of reorganizing thc army with a view to serving an ade quate forco for the new possessions of tho United States has already receiv ed the serions consideration of thc President, the Secretary of War aud officers of tho army. The President will make recommendations to Con gress on this subject, embodying his views and the views of those who are in position to give him thc very best advice. It is probable that he will recommend an increase of tho army to something liko 100,000 men, although this is not certain, and he may think 75,000 is enough. There haw been some talk also of using for garrison duty two companies or a battalion of natives to each regi ment doing garrison duty iu Cuba, Puerto Rico and tho Philippines. Il is believed by this method a considera ble portion of the restless population of the islands, and especially those who have been bearing arms in th< insurgent or Spanish armies, could ht kept quiet and law-abiding. It it stated by officers of the army that th< duties devolving upon the troops un der the new order of things cannot b( satisfactory to volunteers, aud that ai army will have to be provided whict will go where it is sent without com plaints of any kind. Men who enlisi in the regular army hereafter will un derstand that they aro likely to bi called upon at any timo to go out ol the country and to garrison distan lands for long periods. It is believer! that the demands which have beet made upon Senators and Representa tives for the muster out of voluntee; regiments which have remained in th? service has been so great that the} will be oonviuced that a regular arm] for garrison duty in the new posses sions is an absolute necessity. The Jews In Palestine. VIENNA, NOV. 1.-Tho Pester Lloy< learns from St. Petersburg that a Jew ish paper in that capital has receiver, information from Palestine that th* Turkish authorities there have beet ordered from Constantinople to se* that no real estate ra Palestine ?houh pass into the hands of Jews, even i they are Turkish subjects, and that ii consequence of this order all transac tions in landed property in the nam of the colonies projected by Baron Rothsohild and Hirsch and the Israel ite Alliance have been stopped. Th above news is confirmed from othe sources, and this harsh measure ii doubtless, connected with the Zionis movement and the resolutions of th two congresses at Basel, at whioh i was proclaimed that the Jews woul once again constitute a nation and State, and make Palestine their futui home. As the establishment of Jewish bank, with a large capital, wa announced at the same time, the Su tan naturally regards his Province c Palestine as a better asset than it ev? was, and by restricting Jewish om gration and colonization he may hoi to raise the price of eventual consei to the Zionist programme. Not onl; however, is the selling of land i Palestine to Jews prohibited, but in pediments are also placed in tho wc of Jews of different nationalities wi may wish to visit Palestine as travc ers. This is a totally different que tion, which touches the treaty righ of Jewish subjects of various Chri tian countries. It is, for instance, forbidden ! Jews to proceed from Jaffa to Jems lem, or to other places in Palestin unless a Non-Jewish resident of Jaf guarantees that the visitors in que tion will leave Palestine again with: thirty days of their arrival.
