If one of these corporations has sold its stocks and invested the proceeds of such sale in U. 8. securities, the -capital stock sold is to be taxed.

A MoTHER DRIVEN TO SUICIDR.—At Peorta, I)1., Mrs.John M. Wilson committed suicide las t week by shooting herself with a revolver in the right temple, the ball pro- ceeding directly through her head.

Her first husband was @ prominent lawyer, named Sanger, wno died several years ago, leaving an estate worth 262,000, Most of which descended to his son, who attended his msjority only a few weeks ago. Young Sanger has been dissipated and ex- travagant. and has already squandered a large portion of bis fortune upon wine, women and extravagant habits. Mrs. Wil- son appiled for the appotatment of a con- servator over him, aud the case had been beard in the county court. The hearing was discontinued by the sudden iliness of Mrs. Wilson. She took her life on account of sickness, nervous excitement, and sorrow over her son's course. The event created a great sensation, as all the parties are well known and hold high sos!al positions. Young San nearly overpowered with grief and remorse. DISSUADING HIS WIFE WITH A ney lives near Danvilie, N.Y. A few weers ago Mrs. Wnitney was converted ata camp meeting and joined the Baptist church.

On Sunday she went to the house of a brother named Clark 1n order to go to church With bis family. Whitney followed her and forbade her going to the Baptist church. A quarrel ensued, and Clark ordered his broth- er-iv-law off the premises. Whitney went out of the yard and stood in the rad near the gate, and when the Clarks aud Mrs. Whitney came out on thelr way to church he levelled @ revolver at his wife's heal. Clark knocked the weapon up and received the contents of one chamber in hisarm. A son of Clark's setzed Whitney and disarmed him before he couid again use the pistol. Whitney then ran. He was followed with cogs and caught and beaten baily by the Clarks. He afterward escaped arrest and cannot be found. PREFERRED DEATH TO NaURALGIA.— Early yesterday Augustus W. Geist, aged fifty-four, @ butcher by occupation, was found dead under the stoop of No. 80 Christie street, where be did business, having shot himseif through the head with a revolver.

Monday he spoke of visiting a@ friend at Newark, and that pight he left home and was not seen ie a bis wife until he was found dead. Mrs. eist did not feel alarmed at his absence, as she it that he had urchase and had lewark. At 5p. m. yes- ington Market to allerwards gone to terday Martin Stover, a boy employed by Geist, opened the door and discovered Geist’s condition.

H. Beadle, during several visits and brief residences among the Mormons, and he has contri- buted an interesting article about it to the Popw Science Monthly. He considers the system economically a failure, ia Utah. ana from ethical and physical reasons both. The reasons at the outse, are oovious. Polygamy tends to multiply the helpless, to increase the consumers disproportionately to the producers, and so to eventually eat up accumulated savings and prevent the accu: mulation of further surplus. Ifali the chil- dren should grow up aod take their places among the earning class, jn time this would correct itself, but 40 percent of the race die before et the age of self-support, #0 that 40 per cent of the increase 13 an abso- lute, and the whole a present loss. But in the condition of polygamy in Utah, there ia a larger percen’ of mortality among the feeble children. Itia true that more c%il- Gren are born in polygamous nations than +2 monogamous, but nevertheless a= Jation does not increase as rapidly, as a comparison of the statistics of tue Turks, Persians, or Hindcos, with those of the em ere German or Russians will show. Owing to this continual bres pho har of consumers, and the consequent steady drait on the surplus, @ polygamous community, in the climate and on the soll of Utah, can- not get ric 3 le further asserts that Individuals don’t have an even chance to improve their condition. Brigham Youog isn’t worth over £600,000, not a large fortune for @ man with 120 wives, children, son-in- law, and grand children clinging to him. Utah’s assessed property 18 $23,000,000, of which haif belongs to the Gentile minority, so that the average among the Mormons is about $140. [The average individual wealth in Massachusetts is $1463 and odd cepts.) Mr. Beadle says that an old lawyer of Salt Lake thinks that in ten years nearly every man among them will be bankrupt. Poly- gamy, by its intrcductiou of the element of urecertainty in the family, dissipates social energy, weakens cohesion and fellowship, and, making @ priesthood essential, submits the community to a paralyzing tyranny, which cannot but prevent prosperity. SPIES WATCHING Don CARLOS.—Inspeo- tor Thorne appeared at the th-street police court yesterday, and notified Justice as- mire that spies or some other persons were following Don Carlos wherever jecting him to @ system of expionage as Odious as it was unwarrantable. For tle | last two weeks he has been tracked over the city, and the instant he left his botel or car- riage he immediafely saw the persons who have been watehing him.

Keon, proceeded to the Windsor hotel, where Don Carlos is stopping, to determine what protection could EE afforded him. Afier a sbort conversation, tn whica Mr. Charles B. Waite, the proprietor, acted as interpreter, Don Carlos came to the conclusion not (0 obtain @ warrant for the srrest of the per- sous, although they were well known to nim. through the police. His reason for so doing was that the affair coming to light through tbe medium of the press, his action might be attributed to personal cowardice.
