MuBBISa MORMON PBEAcHERs.-The Liy-
epool Albion relates that on Sunday after
noon two Mormon missionaries began n
mission in Shell Park, and one of them
held forth ON the merits of their sect to the
assembled crowd. For some time this
daring attempt Of p%roselytism was borne
patiently, and the Mormons were subject
anly 20 occasional wittieismls and small
practical jokes. At length n well-dressed
men came and spoke to one of the breth-
ren, but seemingly without effect, for
having waited a few minutes, and finding
thGt the h%arangue still went on, he faced
about and crying friends, Wen have no
Mormons here" commenced to hustle the
preEehers. The fame had evidently
smonldered, for in nh instant the unhappy
pair sgere surrounded by n hooting crowd,
who hustled, bonnetted and pelted them
without mercy. It was with the greatest
difficulty that they escaped, and only after
having had a most severe handling. Nor

Tee FoUR-LEdGED TENNESSEE CHILD has

port that the head and trunk of the child

that just at this time when the city is
infested by a gang of Inherent ven
ders OF cheap jewelrY, going from
house to house to delude and swindle
silly girls with the offer of a full set
of jewelry for one dollar, that bur
glaries begin to creep out. We have
noticed thatthis is the invariable case.
Whenever we hear of men stopping at
front doors and handing children
a paper of needles or a box of cheap
jewelry to show to their mothers, or
walking around to the Kitchen to
have a confab with the hired help,
we take special pains to see that all
our windows are fastened, and that
our Colt or Smith & Wesson are in
good working order. We repeat what
we have frequently said, that there
ale well-established stores, conducted
by responsible and honest men, at
which any Of our citizens may pur-
chase any article they want, and have,
therefore, no need of Inherent ped
lars. The city authorities should
quit licensing such fellows.

Neither of those men have done an
hours faithful manual labor in the

that honest representatives of the la
boring classes Kissed them down and
out of the meeting. This is the
character of most of the working

money. The ease was given into the
hands Of Constable Frank Morris,
who proceeded at once to work it
up. After a short search, two men
named respectively George H.. Fox
and VIM. Linn, as they gave their
names, were arrested as being impli-
Gated in the robbery. and taken be-
fore a Justice of the Peace, when a
preliminary examination was had.
Fox was held to bail in the sum of
500, for his appearance at the Cir
cult Court, while Linn was held in
the sum of $500, in default Of which
both were sent to Jail. IgJ QaAL
While the papers were being made
out for their commitment to Jail,
Linn made an attempt to furnish leg
bail, and slit out" Constable Nor

through an alley and around a block
of buildings several times, caught
him in a grocery store on Fourth
