Show FATE OF A "REFORMER." When persons, no matter who they mav be, thrust themselves upon the public notice and provoko criticism, it is useless to expect that silenco will bo maintained towanla them. This remark is called out by coming Across i Salt Lake press telegram, datetl nt this city, Oct. 13th, and sent by the then Tress agent. It contains this paragraph: Ann Klirji "Wobb, Briliam's nvnlei-tmnt nvnlei-tmnt wilV, is arrnni;iii5 f.r a UvUirinj; tour tlmnipli tho r'niuil tAtt., on "Yw lcj;nidMiion of Women in .Polygamy," Tliat was tlio time when those "thrilling" lectures wero being penned, pen-ned, to which public report sayi Mr Strut ton gave the grammatical j touches, Chief Justice, MeKean the ! polish of rhetoric, and other friends of the proposed lecturer tho spice of romance which was, deemed necessary to season the somewhat tame, everyday-character of the reality. No one ever suspected tho lady of being their author: and her private delivery of them failed to free her from the awk-1 wardness of a novice, which clung to her even as far as St. Louis. The Hkku.d cared little for the lectures or the lecturer. The acts of one, two, or a thousand will neither invalidate a correct principle, nor give soundness to what is incorrect incor-rect and falsely assumed to be n true principle. We never had other feelings feel-ings for tho unfortunate lady than those of pity and rcgrot; and when it bec.m to U1 whispered 'here, that one who had been thus heralded to the world as a "reformer" a!out to tell of tho "Degradation of Women in I'olvgamy" was accused of laxity of morals; that her duenna had forsaken forsak-en heron that account; and, finally, that her agent was directly charged in the public press with her seduction, wo meuLi'ly turml, involuntarily, to those three learned members of the bar, that clerical gentleman, and that judge, who had so mutcriallv aided to launch her on her downward careT, to ask them were they pre-! pre-! urevl to boar the deep and damning I :esp.in-i:ii!ity of her fall ! l'-jr woui.m !
