In one of his recent sermons, Brigham Youn» says, "I wish my women to undertba/; what I am goin» to say is for them as well aa others, and I want those who are here to tell their sisters, yes, all the women in the community, lam going to give you from this time to the 6th October next for reflection that you may determine whether you wish to stay with your husbands or not, and then lam going to set every Woman at liberty, and say to them, • Now go your way.' And my wives have got to do one of two things, either round up their shoulders to endure the affliction of this world, and live their religion — that is, polygamy — or they must leave; for I will not have them about me. I will go into heaven alone rather than to have scratching and fighting about me. What, first wife, too ? Yea, liberate them all. I want to go somewhere or do something to get rid of the whiners. Ido not want them to receive part of the truth, and spurn the rest out of the doors Let every man thus treat his wives : keeping raiments enough to cover his body, and say to your wives, Take all I have and be set at liberty; but, li you stay with me, you shall comply with the law of God in every respect, and that, too, without any murmuring or whining. You must fulfil the law of God in every respect, and round up your shoulders to walk up to the mark without any grunting," In the Italian section of the Vicuna Exhibition, Dr'Marini exhibits, among an assortment of human feet, hands, legs, arms, and busts of shrivelled proportions and ,deep-brown color, a large, : round plateau, evidently of hard and polished material, which lias been likened to stale gelatine or potted boar's head. It is a conglomerate of specimens, illustrative of an art invented by him — the petrifaction and mummification of human corpses. It was this very Dr Marini, says the 'Lancet,' who petrified Mazziui, nod executed his work 80 well that the admirers of the arch-conspirator proposed to set up the corpse on the Capitol and save economical Italy the expense of a statue. The doctor's preparations are weather-proof, and will not only stand wear, but take a high degree of polish. His mummified specimens by a process knowa to him alone, can be restored to their original size and elasticity; while the petrified ones are as hard, and possibly as durable as granite. The top slab of the table is composed of inuacies, fat, sinews, and glandular Buhstunce — all petrified together in a block, the surface of which has been planed and 'polished ti!) its face resembles marble. Certificates from Nelaton and other distinguished surgeons ttre.attucliod 10 the specimen limbs, setting forth that the limbs in question bad, for the satisfaction of the eertifiers, been restored to their pristine softness and pliancy b? Dr Marim.
