MRS. YOUNG'S SECOND LECTURE.—The very best people of Virginia City are inter-ested in the series of lectures now being given by Mrs. Ann Eliza Young. In private Mrs. Young is a most winning and lady-like woman, and she carries these attractions to the rostrum, and they more than compen-sate for the lack of the studied graces of the professional lecturess. A full house of our best people greeted her second lecture. last evening, and from her lips caught new real-izations of the horrors of the inner life of Mormonism. Her pictures of the lives of women toiling unloved from youth to age, wearing out their lives in labor that does not receive the reward of even a smile or an approving word; wives in name, but divorced from every emotion that makes a wife's estate holy, were full of that simple pathos which thrills the heart with pity and indignation. And then her portraits of unloved children were sadder still. Think of the sorrowing Mor-mon child's exclamation, "I wish God would let there be more men in the world so every little girl might have a father." But if the picture of Mormon women and children was pitiful, that of the men was most revolting. Think of an elder in a church living all his life upon the toil of some poor women who are in name his wives, but in fact his slaves. No wonder men so situated become little else than sensual brutes, without affection or veneration for women, without honor or integrity as men. At the conclusion of the lecture many persons remained to take Mrs. Young by the band and congratulate her upon her happy release from the life of slavery she led as the wife of the Prophet; also thanked her for the pleasure they had derived from her vivid descriptions of the inner workings of the Mormon system, and of the doubtful joys of wifehood in the land of the Latter Day Saints. This afternoon Mrs. Young will give a lecture at the Presbyterian Church at 2:30 o'clock for the accommoda-tion of those ladies and others who are un-able to attend of evenings. Let such of our citizens as have not yet heard her attend and be instructed. To-night she will lecture again at the same place.
