In the course ol a speech in the House of Representatives, by J. Proctor Knott, in favor of Uniting the President to one term < f four veas, lie said : The one a'l-sufficient rer.son for lim'o iting elligibly t-> the Presidential office to a single term is stated either directly or inleteutially in every one of the ut," teranees to which I have called atten tion. It is to be found, sir, in the nat ural and almost inevitable inclination of one in possession of an honorable and lucrative otiiue to retain possession, and iu the equally natural and proba h!e disposition on his part under such a temptation to make use of the tremen dous appliances under his control to per petnate his power. It has been many and many a time remarked that an in cuuibent of a good fat office seldom die:-, and never resigns; and, sir, it is true There is scarcely anything else within the entire range of human affection which under some circumstances may not be surrendered with checefulness Friends, home, country, and even life itself may be given up without a mur mur; but the disinterested patriot once in possession of a good pa . ing pub lic office hangs on to it with a grim de terminating and a deathless constancy that would have added a brighter halo to the crown of a Christian martyr [laughter] especially when his salary is $50,000 a year ; when he is supplied and maintained in a style of luxury of which Lticullus himself never dreamed, furnished, repaired, and heated at an annual expense ok $25,000 ; where the very air he breathes ts redolent with the perfume of rare oxoties propagated in a fifty i five thousand dollar green house, maintained out of the public Treasury, at £n expense of $5,000 per anum, [laughter]; an office in which he has writing done hy a private secretary on a salary of $2.5)0 a year, with at) assistant secretary, $2,500 to and the writing of the private secretary, [laughter], and two clerks at $4,500 to do the writing of the assistant secreta ry, [renewed laughter]; where he has a steward at $2,000 per annum to pur vey for his table the clioisest wines and the danties viands that can either tempt or satiate appitife, and where he is al lowed $6,000 a year for books, papers periodicals, telegrams, and unl c m ti!jgcncic3.” \\ hut general cunt ingen cie.; may include Ido not know but let, 1 us thank Cod for the contingences, any-. how [lajihter.] Why, Mr. Speaker, if the children of Isreal sighed for the “flesh•.pots.” the leeks and onions and garlic and ether beggerly conomita uts their bondage in Egypt.u hat mut be the etn tiuns of a sensitive and patriotic sou! on contemplating a last, long fare- Well to a salary and p rquisities like 1 these?

Mormon Courtship. On Saturday a Mormon by the name of Fulmer, who had been chosen among the faithful to go on a mission to Ar izona called upon Brighaui Young. “Married ?” queried the Prophet “Not a’ y,” said Fulmer, o’er whose brow forty odd years hau left their im print. ‘Must marry, Brother Fulmer, before you g) to Arizona to build up theKiud dom.” “Don’t know anybody who will have me,” was the reply. “ ’ll find someone. “Do you kno> Brother Brown, in the Seveieeuth Ward ? Well, lie has seve ral daughters; you go to Brother Brown’s and tell him 1 wan.? you to marry ( ne of bis daughters.” Fulmer left and obeyed counsel to the letter. Knocking at the door he was admitted by Brother Brown, who, upon learning what was wanted, call, and i . several daughters to be selected from. Fulmer taking his choice Brown to’d the girl to get ready in fifteen min utes. I’ll do asyousay, dad,” was her tncelc reply, as she walked out. “that’s the way I raise my daught ers; if they disobey, there’s war in camp.” The wedding festivities toko place to night. — Salt Lake Tribune • llov. to Get Along.

On A r ril 14th, 1865, when victory crowned the Union Armies, the theatre in Washington was filled to overflowin , with exultant officers, citizens, and la - while music and flowers, brilliant lights flashed and happiness reigned.— President Lincoln "and wife were seated in a large stage bex in the second tier, two boxes thrown into,one draped in tile national flag. The { lav on the stage was in the second part. Through the general hum ,following the stage pause, with the change ol' po sitions. etc., came the muffled sound of a pistol shot, which rot a hundredth part of the audienoe heard at the time —and yet a moment’s hush—some how. surely a vague, startled thrill—and then through the ornamented,draperied, star red and stripped of the Pres ideut’s box, a sudden figure, a man ‘raise* himself with hands and feet, stands a moment on the railing, leaps below to the stage (a distance of per haps f urteen or fifteen feet).* falls out of position, catching his-hoot-heel in th copious draperp, (the American flag ■ alls on one kuee, quickly r covers him self, rises as if nothing .had happened, (he really spria.,s his angle. huS un felt then,) and so the figure, Booth the murderer, dressed in plain black broad cloth. bare headed, with a fud head of glossy raven hair, and his eyes like some mad animal's, flashing with light and resolution, yet with certrin strange calmness, holds aloft in one hand a large knife—wa'ks along not much back rout the footlights—turns fully toward the audience his face of statuesque beauty, lit by those basilisk eyes, flash i~g with desperation,-perhaps with i-n sanity—launches out in a firm and steady voice u sic semper fyrannis !

The charges read as follows : 1. Pulling hair, jawing and kicking UlO. 2. More pulling hair. 3. Kicked me Christmas Day, and I can prove it. 4.

We picked up on a pew in church the other uight something that only a b>y could h ire concocted. It was a very simple tiling, yet it was a very simple thing that a man coming in con tact with, might discourse of in “thoughts that breathe and words that barn.” It was nothing but an eight ounce tack driven through a small piece of wood to make it set up strong. As we held it in our hand and enuteuipli* Led it, we seemed to be tr.insfarmed in to a boy ourselves, as the iudicrosity of' tint boy's scheme swept over our mind We coal 1 see him after he had deposit ed his vile instrument, sitting in a pew where lie could command his operations, looking as meek and innocent as a lamb, until the church began to fill up rapid ly > ad when a great big burly fellow came into the pew and crowded the tack, ho suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to take oft' his overcoat, and stood up quickly; then sat down again, and got up quick r than before to arrange his vest and coat comforta bly, and tried it again, hut appeared to bolt from fhe church as it springs Were uud.-r him, and it occurred to him that the pew was too crowded.

The latter c-'vcred 33 S acres, including enclosed couts ; those of Paris, in 1567, covered 31 acres; London, IBG2, 22.0 acres; Paris, 1355 22.1 acres, and Laid n, 1851, 23 9 acres. Owing to the unusually mild weather not a single day’s wok has been lost, and there is as much activity at the grounds and as largo an army ol busy workers as upon the balmiest 'd summer. Within an astonishing short time a small city almost has grown up amid the trees and shrubary of Fair mount Park. Over fifty buildings d re now in various stages of construction. Uie most important nearly finished, and mmy others,which are of minor coose queuce, yet incomplete. The greatest variety in lorm and style is observable —from the many turreted iron and glass main building, with its immense ex panse of twenty acres, and the massive and magnificent granite Art Galery, to toe smallest chalet of light wool and giy colors. iho lakes and fountains are being prepared, the Wilks the and roads macadamized,the little rapid tran sit steam railway which will convey vis itors from point to point is being laid shrunbery and trees are being set and and lawns termed and sodded Hun dreds of workmen of all sorts —carpen- ters, painters, decorators, builders masons, laborers, plumbers and garden ers are m >ving about or plying the tools of their trades, and on all sides th 1 greatest activity is observable. The London papers decribe the re - ’ cent terrible accident on the Grant Northern Railway as second to n o of recent d,as ers in the elements of horror by which it was surrounded A coal train, eighteen minutes behind time, was overtaken by the Scutch ex press en route for Lon ion, which dash and at lull speed into the coal train. S<> voiient was the shock that the express engine leaped into the arr and fell up on the enbankmert on the down side, dragging with it the tender, while the three or four next carriages were crush ed almost in‘o matchwood. Wh le the groans and cries of the wounded and the shrieks of women and children fill ed the air. the express train from Lon don came up at full speed and dashed into the debris It cut through the tend r of th ■>. express, which was lyirm across the rails directly in its path, and its own engine and tender left the track .-ut the carriages, twelve in number swerved away to the right hand, and ran, one after the other, into and upon the wreck of the o.h-er train, adding further ruin to the already terrible dis a ter. For a wonder only twelve peo ple were killed and about twenty seri ously wounded. Words Fitly Spoken.
