Association, i ceently organrx d in Au
g
tion, formerly known as ‘*Cl\v.\ s

The hall is large enough to seat com

the room in the rear and coniinunica

these rooms, and we congratulate tl-s
Association on thus early presenting U
the public such evidences of su :• ->■
usefulness ; for it cannot be denied that
the success of any general resort, dc
pends much on its attractive and com
fortable features. In this respect th>
Young men’s Christian Association- 1 1
Augusta, though organized but a few
weeks ago, will, we can safely say, com
pare favorably with the oldest and most
successful societies of similar chain -
•ter in any locality. The library is
being fitted up, several hundred
volumes are already provided, aim
the leading peiiodicals and newspa
pers will be found on file, for the use
of local members and visitors. W e
would suggest to those disposed to aid
in advancing the usefulness of this As
sociation, that the Library is not as
large as is desirable ; and the liberality
of such as may place boohs on theii
•helves, either for temporary use, or as
donations, will be appreciated, as the
funds of the Association are yet limited,
and the expense incurred in titling up
their rooms has been heavy. We are
gratified to state, in this connection,
that the prayer meetings, commenced
under the auspices of this society, are
continued with unabated interest, and
give promise of most refreshing results
to all the churches of the city.
Religious Meetings.
Wo regret that in noticing the prayer
meetings in certain churches in our oily,
we have omitted to mention others,
where these meetings have been
held regularly. We believe meetings
for prayer have been licl.i regularly at
the Episcopal Church, in accord an . ■
with their custom ; and, also, much of
the time at the Presbyterian Church,
and perhaps others.
We would thank persons connected
with all the church' s of the city G- ;•<.!
vise us of the meetings in progress at
each, as our evening circulation in tr
city might induce many to go out, from
seeing a notice in our paper, who would
otherwise remain at home, or go into
h-ss profitable resorts. We learn that
there will be preaching at the A: j•
Axn Lecture Room to-night, at half past
seven.

Hippodrome.
The performance at-this popular re
sort was highly interesting to the audi
enee on hist Sunday evening. An inc
liriatod son of Erin's Isle was endeavor
ing to force locomotion into an equine
sack of bones which teas precisely the
reverse of a locnmptive: But tlie “gall
ed jade’ found it was no use, and squat
•ted down, throning tho rider over it
frontispiece. For a while he "lay like
a warrior taking his rest;” then seiz
ing the bridle ho attempted to 'rise, but
utterly failed. Whereupon lie seated
himself on the earth Sml stared the ani
mal in the face! The audience express
ed their gratification at the perform
ance: But thc'moral of the whole is.
that if you do not wish to be made a
“target for the shafts of ridicule,” you
must not get "elevated,” especially up
on ahorse that is afflicted with all the
ills which that kind of “flesh is heir to,”
an I p irtioularly be careful to avoid the
idnchgiit arena.

r.ife at Salt Lake.
Under this head, tho California Slate
■lnurv.nl publishes an interesting article
containing information furnished by a|
gentleman who has just returned from|
Salt Lake. We give an extract:
Our informant stp.tns (hat the famous*
Echo Canon is well fortified, but the:
want of artillery among the Mormons*
gender the fortifications much less for-i
amiable. There tiro a deep and wide
. :d cut acres • the canon in a great 1
. many places, and at some of these!
• -bus there are gulches running a short-;
I distance into the mountains from the!
: * t the canal. Heavy spec forts
ire b i t in the gulches which com-;
man 1 the ?n - t of the canal-, but in
these are nothing !ut small amis. Thej
Mormons depend much upon rolling!
heavy locks upon the troops fiom the;
mountain upon each id • of the canon, I
the si'l ,i‘whi -li are some three bun
ked f.vt in height, and are of solid’
rock. Hie canon it-,i. ; |f, averages from;
one hundred to two hundred feet in
width. As the rock roiling is a piece
•»f .sport not confined to one party, the
American commanders may choose to
play at the same game. We understand
that the terrors of the pass referred to,
are much exaggerated, and that the
troops now at Utah could and would
ret through were it not for the snow.— i
Our informant gives us some amusing
instances of the working of the “pccu-!
liar system. ' He was present at a trial •
in one of the Wards of Salt Lake City, •
•aeli of which has a Bishop of the.
' Cm; i A complaint was made before!
the Bishop’s Court, and the woman who;
app • rid as plaintiff was the spiritual
wife No. 2 of a man who had live wives,
and she was about thirty years of age.
‘ die complained that the head of her*
» himily spent all of his spare time with
i wife No. 5. and had not visited licrj
room for three weeks. The husband
• unde no defence, and the Bishop, by
; request ot the jury, gave her a divorce
in about twenty minutes. The same
woman was married to Another brother*
of the Church as his No. 2, in less than!
; one week, she herself doing the court-*
ing. At the house where our hero boar
ded, there was a young girl of seventeen, ;
1 and as he expressed it, she was “ a real;
beauty." A young fellow of twenty- j
. three was courting her, and his rival,
was one of the “apostles," a man of}
of fifty. The old fellow represented to j
i hei that if she become his wife (his
twelfth) she would be sure of salvation,
i as she would have a “head" that had
1 been in the church twenty years, andj
• had been fully tried, and that if she
married the young man there was no!
certainly that he would not apostatize
and go to California, and she would
lose her crown of glory in heaven. The !
i arguments of {he old fogy were backed
by her parents, a id the young lover
’ lust his biide, who was duly “sealed
to the apostle. It is said that this is a
, common occurrence.

A woman may say what she likes io
. you without danger of getting knocked
• town for it. She can take a snooze af
ter dinner, while her husband has to go
- to work. She can dress herself in neat
am ! fitly calicoes for a dollar, while her]
husband has to earn and fork over. She
can go forth in the streets without be
- mg invited to treat at every-house.
She can paint her face if it is toO pale,
and Hour it if too red. She can wear
1 corsets if too thick—other fixings if too
1 thiu. She can eat, drink and be merry,
. without it costing her a cent. She can
get divorced from her husband when
she sees one she likes better. And she
can get in debt all over, until he warns
the public not to trust her on his ac
l count any longer.

EUfllonof Dogeslu Venice.
Li a recent lecture, Dr. Baird gave .the I
following description of the manner ofj
j electing the Doge of Venice, who was
| chosen for life. When a Doge died, the
j the nobles who had a right to vote fora 1
| successor, assembled before the Doge’s!
j palace, in the Piazza of St. Mark, andj
as many balls as there were voters were*
put in an urn. Among these balls there
wcie thirty that were called “thegoUien
Udh.‘ Every nobleman then ’went up
Ito the urn and took up a ball. Os
i course, thirty ot them received the!
I thirty golden balls. Then these thirty}
i v *’y lc reduced by lot to nine, and these;
, nine chose forty ; % these-foity were}
■reduced by lot to twelve, nrid the-v ‘
j twelve chose twenty-live i then these
twenty-five were reduced again to nine,
i p.nd these nine chose forty-five; then!
! these forty-five were reduced to eleven, 1
;pnd these eleven chose forty-one and 1
I they elected tho* Doge. For this purpose!
; they were shut up in the palace and
! made tostay there till they had succeeded
in making a choice, in' doing which*
; twenty-five votus out cl forty-one wore
. necessary.
Following a Shark,
j Sumo time ago, says the Norfolk .!»-
y'-G a gentleman and one of his servants,
i a stalwart negro, went fishing for rock*
on the Bay shore, about ten miles from
- Norfolk. They cast their hooka and
lines, and waited for a bite.
Tin; big <by key, after wading out
! some feet from the shore, tied the line
around his body. His master told him
there was danger in doing so ; but the
sable fisherman suspected* no difficulty}
or accident. Soon an old shark, a real:
old sea dog, came along and swallowed i
1 the bait with a good lelisli, and Samboj
i held the line with a firm grasp. 'lhe!
} powerful fislr, however, drew him grad-!
I mdly out into deep water, when, tiud-:
! ing that he was in danger of being cur
| lied out to sea, in order to cut the line!
! lie had made a desperate grasp at his
j knife, which was fastened to his head'
; half shut, a portion of his hair being;
between the blade and the handle; but!
;it was too late. The hungry monster of i
the deep, by a rapid movement, slack-!
. ened tho line and dashed furiously out!
! from the shore, followed by the darkey,,
who alternately disappeared beneath:
the waves and rose to the surface, grab-!
| biug bis knife as he rushed on with al- :
i most lightning speed in the wake of!
, the shark. He was seen at the distance!
jof nearly a mile, as lie occasionally!
i rose to the surface ; but soon disappear-j
| ed entirely, far beyond the reach of as-,
sistance, and a victim to his own haz-j
! atdous daring and imprudent temerity.!
Spiritual Meeting.
| Last evening, a private exhibition of I
spiritual pliemonena, by Mrs. AdaCoan, j
to which the Governor, Lieut. Govern-,
or, Council, members of the Legisla-i
i ture, Mayor and various other State and |
Municipal dignitaries were invited, was}
} given at the Melodeon, to furnish an!
; opportunity to investigate the matter, j
! and “try the spirits.” Many of those
! invited were preseht, so that a large and
select audience were assembled. Mrs.
Goan first made some remarks in a pre-|
• posse.'..'!tig manner, introducing the sub-;
5 ject, and ended requesting the appoint-!
1 ment of a committee to scrutinize the
proceedings and detect if possible any
deception. Messrs. Usher and Brail*
, ning, of the Senate, and Walker, of the
; House, were accordingly .appointed. As
. ? a test the committee wrote a number of
I i names on slips of paper while Mrs. 0.
;! was absent from the room, closely fold
j ing them. .Siio was then able to give,
.j through the raps, the name correctly in
■ each paper, without unfolding it, and
I the raps would then designate correctly
Mileage of the person alluded to, the;
j place of death, disease, See. After the!
• committee had completed their inves-
I tigation, an opportunity was given to
j the audience to convince themselves,
,j and many availed them Ives of the op
portunity. The answers were; we be
! lieve, in all c.-e-ea r« gnrded ns com et.
! or at least not p- sitiveiy erroneous. Thej
! c 'inmittee reported that they had been!
\ able to discover no deception, and wej
j think it was the universal opinion that
great candor and fairness was exhibit-j
ed. though some of the performances
• corned incredible to those who had
never witnessed such phenomena. Bos- j
