But it is only that "old, old story" Passion

We could guess the reason of his unhappy
malady from his broken story. First, he low
ed one who proved as false as she was fair.
Disappointment, of course, followed, and so
worked on his mind, that he was taken sick, to
wake up from his dream, and rise from the
sick-bed, and find reason shattered and weak
ened. His lunacy then took the form of re-
hgious excitement, but this was too much,
ana ne became violent, raving madman. A
few hours imprisonment, however, calmed him
down, and we believe he was then restored to
his friends

But Commodore Stewart is not alone In his
anomalous position, either in or out OF the

heroes Commodore George q. Read, and at

Commodore Thomas Ap Catesby Jones, stand

supposed strength of the Mormons.

Various calculations have been going the
rounds Of the papers of late, as to the est
mated number of the Mormons in Utah, and
the armed force which they could possibly
bring into the field against the United States
troops. Hitherto the estimates seem to have
been greatly exaggerated. The Sacramento
Union gives the following on the subject
According to the u. States census OF 1891
the whole Mormon population, men, women
and chi Idren, amounted to ii ,S35. In 1852,
from the Minutes Of the Mormon General
Conference, it appears that the population
had increased 6,S5l, making the total 10, 2OO.
Taking the same ratio of increase, we have
the whole Mormon population IN 1897
amounting to 3l,0l2. Taking out the rela-
tive proportion of children which enlisted in
1852, with the increase of population, say
1000, we have left 90, 0l2. Deduct from this
amount one-half for the women, the same
proportion that existed in 1853, and there
remains 1000 fighting men, including those
some v hat advanced. This is probably the
whole fighting strength Of the Mormons.
