Supplement to ®lte Dmln Jerald. The Savannah Daily Herald “The Dengerom Edge or Thtnge." We say we have not advanced so lar as the Romans in the day of their decline. But we are not immaculate. The Atlantic Monthly took its readers to* the dangerous edge of things in some of Miss P/eseott's stories; the Round Table admits a very pro vokiug disquisition on “Purple Women," and tells us about their “swimming walk" as they undulate and rustle up Fifth avenue; Owen Meredith writes for the polite aud let tered class of England and America a very insinuating and exquisite statement of the sufficient good of sensation aud of pleasure. The culminating interest and the best wri ting of “the Apple of Life” is the descrip tion of the “lascivious Egyptian;" aud of several dramatic personages, the poet makes her noblest in the utterance of her thoughts. Yet more perfect and powerful is a poem by the sculptor Story, published in a late num ber of Blackw’ood’s Magazine, aud about to be republished here, entitled “Cleopatra;" a poem in which the Shakesperian idea of the swart and passionate Egyptian is intensified and the dominant mood of that voluptuous man-compeller is nakedly and intensely ex pressed. The fierce energy of its expression of animal passion is startling to tbe.soft and fastidious pleasure-seekers of London and New York. "That was a life to live for ! Not this weak human life, With its n-li ulous, bloodless passions, Its poor and petty strife ! Come to my arms, my hero, The shadows of twilight grow. And the tiger’s ancient lirceness In my veins begins to How. Come not cringing to sue me ! Take me with triumph and power, Asa warrior that storms a fortress! I will not shrink or cower, Come as yon came iu the desert. Ere we were women and men, When the tiger passions were in us. And love as you loved me then !’’ It is manifest that physical life is getting the ascendant into the world of thought, and our meu of letters and our paialers have joined Bacchus and his tipsy crew, and, like gayest reveflers, sing American odes and de light in the wild and sinuous dance of winc fiushed Bacchantes. The stories, the poems and the pictures of the day express a pas sionate greed of pleasure, an avid appetite for all soul-seducing delights and man's pride of life. In painters this passion for sensation shows itself in devotion to the beautiful; iu poets it betrays itself with sen suous words— words full of voluptuous suggestion. —N. Y. Eva. Post. Th* Mormons Rampant. —According to late advices from Salt Lake City, the Mor mons are taking higher ground in defense of polygamy, and even speak of the possible necessity of employing arms. Thus Smith, one of the twelve apostles, is reported as saying, on Sunday, August 38, that “the South was right; the Northern army burned and destroyed everything in the South, and abused by force all their women. They would be here some day to treat the fair women of Utah in like manner. Old aud young should have plenty of arms. God would fight their battles, and the Saints would be victorious.” Moreover, Brigbain Young, himself, in a sermon at the same time, uttered the following seutences: “He was ready to fight the government. He had his soldiers, and rifles, and pistols, and ammunition, aud plenty of it, and can non, too, and would use them, He was *on it!’ The Governor of this territory was useless and could do nothing. He (Brigham; was the real governor of this people, and by powers of the Most High he would he Sovernor of this territory forever aud ever, f the Gentiles did uot like this they could leave and go to hell." A long account given by Richardson, the well known correspondent, writing from Salt Lake City, closes with the following recapitu lation : 1. Brigham and his associates are living in open, defiant violation of the laws of the Uni ted States. 2. They are teaching to their followers in tense hostility to our government and people, and the necessity and duty Os resist ing by force of arms any attempt to make the law operative. 3. They are drilling and arming the entire people into a compact and efficient military organization. 4. The government places and keeps in important Federal offices, men who flagrant ly violate the law and systematically perjure themselves in taking the oath of office. Not only does the publie interest suffer financial ly ; not only are the ends ol justice frustrated, but our highest law-makiug authority has solemnly enacted that polygamy is a crime, and the government makes itself accessory to that enme. Obituary Female J^act. —lt is remarked, says a London reporter, by the police of the water side, as a characteristic circumstance that nearly every female who throws herself into the water, is careful to divest herself of her bonnet and shawl, which, are placed on the ground in such a manner as not to be in the least damaged.
