again defeat The amendment is apt to have

The Radical papers are Mortified at the
barbarity displayed in Cuba by the Spanish
forces in shooting prisoners. But what about
the murder of Mumford, and the butcheries
of Burbridge and Mcneil. and the assassina-
ton Of Mrs. Surratt and Capt wirz? South
ern people do sympathize with the Cubans
for the Cubans are fighting for liberty and
independence-jus what the South fought
for-but the protestations of Radicalism are
simply hypocritical nonsense.

In the extreme southern part Of the Territory
of Utah, three hundred miles from Salt Lake. Is a
place called Mountain Meadow. The scene of a
terrible massacre. The story may be told in
brief Some years ago one of the Mormon Mis-
sionaries, Farley p. Pratt, was in Southern Cali.
fornis preaching, and made convert of a
married woman whose husband was absent. She
left home joined herself to Pratt, and became his
concubine. The husband determined to be re-
venged followed them to this city, then TO Ar
kansas, where Pratt was, and took vengeance by
shooting him. Months passed on One day a
party Of emigrants from the county in Arkansas
in which tho homicide was committed reached
Salt Lake on their way to Southern California
1t was party well TO do In the world-forty
wagons, and about Que hundred and fifty persons
In one wagon was piano. One emigrant and
his family, rode in well built carriage. They
purchased provisions Of the Mormons and passed
on, reached the green meadow among the noun.
tains and stopped to recruit their stock before
entering the desert
Several Mormon settlements were near by !;
some houses within sight Suddenly they were
attacked by Indians, or white men disguised as
Indians It was 1t day light. The emigrants
fought from out behind their wagons, threw up
q ditch and kept their assailants at bay. The
fighting lasted week. One morning Mormon
advanced, told them that if they would give up
tuciE oruS 1uuldub WOuIQ not nafn tQem.
They complied with his request Then began
the massacre. All bat seventeen children were
killed. and the oldest Of these was only six years
old-too young too give certain testimony, ex-
cept that their fathers were shot down, their
mothers and sisters outraged and then had their
brains beaten out by men, who, though wearing
an Indian dress, could speak the English Ian.
guage.
A few days after the massacre, wagons, horses,
carriages, and the clothing of the murdered enes,
were brought to Salt Lake and sold. Ten per
cent. of the proceeds went into the treasury of
the church. Brigham bought the carriage for
his own use, and am informed that the piano
is now owned by one Of the leading Mormens
1t was long while before this massacre, which
occurred in 81, became known The public new.
er knew much about it. In 1855 General Carl.
ton was ordered by the General commanding the
department of California, to visit the spot. He
did 80, and found the bones bleaching on the
ground. He gathered them up, erected cross
bearing these words: vengeance is mine ;
will repay saith the Lord" The report of Gen.
Carlton has just made its appearance. 1t was
printed the last session of congress- The evidence
in this report goes to show that this terrible
massacre was planned by the Mormons, and in
fact carried out by them to svenge the death OF
Pratt. one of the most effective preachers of the
Mormon faith. These emigrants came from the
county in which he was Killed, and hence the
vengeance.

SUN TOTAL OF GREAT LIBRARIEs.-We have
had much to do with dictionaries, first and last
have turned over thousand pounds of them,
perhaps; have watched new editions rising in
stately fashion, and found the best were set ON
Webster's sure foundations. What we have
written of Webster's work, while it has been in
all truthfulness has also been in sll love, We
have warm 6lial feeling for it and for him;
grateful to Webster for earliest lessons and for
latest teachings; grateful to God, that, while He
gave us English for our mother-tongue, he gave
us man 80 worthy to record and expound it:
men 20 worthy to continue the work he so nobly
begun. And We put that mo:her-tongue to q
sacred use when we utter the truthful words that

what have foreign Powers To do with in
trrnaE lnsurreclion ?--lnd IL war between
Greeks aud Turks, though technically be-

between the Sultan and his subjects. Be-
fore the diplomati>ts nd drawn up their
first paragraph the whole Eastern qucs-
ton would be on The table, and compro-

in this matter. It he adheres TO Tie Pal

of France in defending Turkey, and shall

We could possibly adopt. Is it our busit

Yet this is what will happen if Great
Britain allows herselfato be dragged into

not allow her great Northern ally to be
seriously weakened, aud must sooner or
later interfere for her proiectioa, thereby
