Anna Among The Mormons'
A. curious war is being waged between
Anna Dickintson a",nd the Morneops.
Anna haasbeet visitink Utah, and of
eourse, has been lecturing about what
she semi there: She. calls the Mormon
ladies “brazen faced things," and sundry
other hard and feminine Appellation.
Whereupon Mormomism turns upon her,
and says she is endowed with "brazen
impudence and a loose tongue;" and it
winds up a long- reproach hy telling her
to "go boine, mind her bueinees, govern.
a family, rule the house, and eive the
• versary no occasion to speak reproach -
fully' --only she must -get - married
first." This is a hard thrust for poor
Anna. That is where all the trouble
is. Anna cannot get married. She
does not seem to have had a chance
even in Utah, where one would thiuk
awoman (vild ()artily help meeting
with a willing swain, even thoegh sPe
possessed vet y violent disqValifitations.
• What Anna, can be like, it is diffieuitto
