A MORMON ELOPEMENT.

The herein of Brigham Young, jun., has bees in-
raied by an imgoldly Gentile, who wooed, won, eloped
with. and has wed the eldest daughter of the coming
posket. More than three years ago Charles it.
Hopkins met and fell in love with Mies Alice S.
Fem.:, the eldest daughter of Brigham, jut. The
attachment became mutual, much against the will and
...went of the lady's parent.. Every means was em•
i4oved to prevent her from seeing her lover. She MIA
taken with the dignitaries of the priesthood of missions
horn place to place, with the intention ot diverting her
mind, awl, if possible, alienating her affection from
her lover and bringing her in contact with other young
Mormons, some one of whom, it WM hoped, she might
learn to smile upon. Finally an intelligent young
Mormon, scarcely of her own age, addressed himself to
her, and to all human appearances became the favoured
lover. iii short, it became generally to be regarded as
a fact that Miss Alice and her new lover were engageil
to be married. The day was set, and the marriage
was to take place immediately. A week before the
event was to take place, however, she *ant word to
Mr. Hopkins her father's intention', and it was arranged
that she was to fles from the harem, be wedded, and
go home to her lover. A mutual friend had been
taken into the plot. She wee to smuggle her clothing
out of the house and place it under a designated tree
in the yard, where the young men were to meet the
ladyherself. At the appointed hour they went with •
light %Aide, and, while one held the horses, the other
to los led the girl's personal effects, in the meanwhile
keeping his pistol in hand, well knowing that to be
loud invading the premises of the Prophet would
bring upon him a serious and perhaps a desperate fight.
This part of the work was done with no disturbance;
bit shortly afterwards Brigham, jun., CLAW to know
something was wrong, and Miss Alice fled in search of
her lover, roomed by her father. Making her way
down Main.street, she met Charles near the ruins.,
the First National Rank, when she told him they had
been discovered, and that her father was pursuing her.
He directed her to remain there while he called a hack
to take them to the minister. This being obtained,
they immediately proceeded to the residence of the
Rev. Mr. Welch, Who married the lovers and sent them
home with his bleming. Filet, the young lady'.
brother put in an appearance at their residence, and
rimed a private interview with his brother-in.law.
It was granted, but no harm MIN of it. He thea
appealed to his dater Co home with him, but whea
answered that she was already at home he left the
hove. weeping. The Prince himself called, accom-
panied by several policemen. He demanded to know
of Mr. Hopkins if he and Alice were married and the
reply. was that they were just about as effectually
learned as a minister •A the Gospel could do it,
Brigham. Pin.. then &Weeniest his tWtghter, avowing
that he acknowledged her; but turning to Mr.

girl Augustine Ourard, who was accordingly arrested
andemseeYed to prison. There she confesd that
she had in cold blood it:angled the two little creatures.
Neither in custody nor before the Attire Court did
she betray the slighter symptom of remorse for her
double crime. Her answers to the President must
