REBELLIoN IN THE MORMON CANP-
From the enterprise we learn that Will
liam Alexander aud David Hyrum, the
younger sons Of Joseph Smith, the
Mormon Prophet, have arrived at Salt
Lake to set up the standard of the re-
organized or anti-polygamy church,
which branch numbers about 10, 900
members, scattered through the States
Of Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Mis-
souri,. The Corinne (Utah) Reporter
says:
A singular interest attaches to the
name of David Hyrum. A few months
before Joseph's death he stated thar
Z" the man was not born who was to
lead this people, but of Emma Smith
should be born q son who would sue
coed in the Presidency after q season Of
disturbances" Joseph Smith was
killed June 81, 1874, and the son,
named from his fathers direction Da-
vid Hyrum, was born at the Mansion
House in Nauvoo, on the 18th OF tue
succeeding November. This prophecy

mons who are weary of the tyranny of

sending word at the same time to the
Bishops to shut them out Of the ward
meeting houses. The brothers, at one
point of the conversation, denied that
their father ever Practiced poly gsmy,
citing their mothers testimony, to
which Brigham retorted that their

sort. Brigham doubtless gnaws his
nails ia vain rage that he cannot, 40
ia former times, let loose the vengeance
of bis Nauvoo Legion upon these Sec
tarians and crush the rebellion in blood.

the horizon, while silently darker ones
lowered over the town. Then great

drenched the thirsty earth. Meantime
the hills all around were flooded with
sunshine dotted here and there by
shadow. In about fifteen minutes the

A Sad Re.UniOn.

On last Saturday, in little country church
near Cincinnati, a humble village parson was
preaching the funeral sermon of an old man
who had lived more than his three score
and ten, and who had finally laid down life's
burden and Joined his fathers. While the
religious exercises were progressing two
young men passed the door of the church
one. young man of twenty five summers,
proposed to 90 in and see whom they were
about to plant" Ito use his own words.)
They entered, and as they did SO the little
congregation were about to take last look
at the still, pale face of the deceased. The
youths Joined the melancholy procession.
They paused moment at the bier, when
the one who had proposed to enter the
church and see whom they were about to
plant " bent down over the coffin and gave
signs of the most poignant grief He wept
bitterly, and refused to leave the coffin.
Some one suggested to him to pass on, when
he said, "This is my father-how came he
here 2" The sequel is soon told. At the
beginning of the war the youth had enlisted
in an Indiana regiment, and had remained
in the service until the last battle. He had
been mustered out, and taken employment
in Maryland, and remained in that State un-
til a few days since, when he started home
to see his aged parent. En- route he had
stopped in the village to visit a comrade
who had gone through the war with him.
The two in taking walk passed the church
in which the funeral services of John, Slay-
ton was proceeding, and by some strange
influence young Slayton had been led to en-
ter the church, when the sight of his fathers
lifeless form gave him the first intimation
that he was fatherless. The elder Slayton
had moved to Ohio during the last few years
of his sons absence, and had, after linger-
ing illness, -Cleceland Herald. % So.

Spiritualism-Astonishing Revelations
The Ghost of N. p. Willis.

Whatever suspicion may attach to needy,
professional mediums who give public sean
ces for money, none, apprehend, can prop
erly obtainin relation to private individuals
of ample means and undoubted respectable
ity, who reluctantly disclose the spiritual
manifestations constantly recurring through
the agency of their own mediumistic pow
ers, and who, although keen, cool and edu.
Gated reasoners, are totally unable to explain
any portion of the phenomena upon any
known laws. In this city, and almost daily.
events are transpiring in this connection
In one instance, we find an estimable lady
the wife of lawyer whose brown stone resi-
dence is on Forty-fourth street commun-

circumstances the most startling. The spir-

comes aware of its proximity. From vase
of flowers near curtain window, he has oc-
casionally plucked rose and placed itin her
hand; while, in more than one instance, he
brought her lilies and bouquets dripping
with dew, quite dissimilar to any bud or
gem in or about her dwellings. In addition
to this, he has given her spirit likeness of
himself, in crayon, SO perfect as to be regard
ed absolutely inimitable by those who knew
him well in the flesh; while, to cap the eli

autograph in her presence, and which

Murder Will Ont.

More than forty years ago, the body of a
stranger was found in tile woods near Pen
nington, N J. 1t was in a sitting posture
against tree, the face distorted and eyes
protruding as if from a death of agony.
The garb indicated a man in comfortable
circumstances, and yet there was no money
found. At that day public scrutiny was not
so acute in such cases, and as there was no
wounds or other signs of violence found,
no verdict of supposed murder was render
ed, and his body was buried without further
inquiry.
Now comes the strange confirmation of
the old adage, in death-bed confession
made three thousand miles from the scene of
the murder. Daniel Hulsemann, dying a
few weeks ago in Manchester, England, ac-
knowledged TO having killed in New Jer-
sey forty years ago, his friend, James Eber-
mart. Hulsemann then worked in New
York, and Eberhart came from Germany,
where they had known each other, to pur-
chase land. They started together to ex-
anime the country, and Hulsemann provi-
ding himself with flask ofpoisoned brandy,
intending to murder and rob Eberhart
Walking from Princeton to Pennington
they halted TO lunch; Hulscmann passed his
flask to Eberhart, who drank literally and
died in an hour in fearful agony, Hulsemanr
looking on all the while He then robbed
him of his money, about one thousand dol
lars, and set him against the tree, as he was
found, and started on his journey OF lift
with tormenting secret of crime, to burs

From the New York Times. aH O.
A Strange StOry-Fire seen near Solo,
mons Temple-Warning of the
comiup of tho Maseiah

Our friends of the Hebrew faith will
doubtless feel much interested in knowing
oficertain strange developments, according
to the Austrian newspapers, which have
manifested themselves in Jerusalem These
developments refer to the coming this year
of the Jewish Messiah. The story, as told,
is singular enough. 1t appears that the
Rabbi of Paka, town in Hungary, has re-
ceived letters from Jerusalem which state
that toward the end of last month column
of fire was seen near the ruins of Solomon's
Temple, and that strong voice was heard
which addressed itself to an Israelite who
was worshipping there at the time. This
voice warned the devotee of the coming,
this year, of the Messiah, and declared that
the Israelites should repent. and be more
observant of the religion of their fathers
The man so addressed spoke prophetically
of what he had heard. Thereupon the peo-
Pile treated him as an imposter, and some
even went so far as to attempt to take his
life; but he, as if miraculously endowed
with more than human strength, fought
hundreds of his assailants, and when, after
wards, battalion of soldiers was sent to
arrest him, baffled them in their efforts to
capture him. Two Israelites, the Hungarian
journals say, have been dispatched to learn
the exact facts of this extraordinary affair.
1t is clear that, if not one of the race of
prophets, the man who, as above narrated,
opposed this host of enemies, must be a.,
| athlete of no small pretentions.
