Mormon Assassins.

The Salt Lake Reporter gives the
following account of Brigham Youngs
band of cut tllroats: -o
A certain number, said to be twelve,
of the most desperate characters in the
Church, were selected from among the
Danitcs to commit such assassinations rs
might be found necessary by the Prophet
for the welfare" and enhancement" Of
his holv cause. The murder of Gov.
Boggs and many others was planned in
the secret conclave of the Danitcs, aud
executed by the chosen twelve" The
attempt to murder Governor Boggs for
tunatcly failed, and at least one of the
would-bc murderers is now known to
live in Utah Both of these secret socic-
ties now exist in Salt Lake City. The
discipline is more perfect under Brigham
Young than under Zoe Smith, and con-
scquehtly the aims more sure, the objects
more certainly accomplished. No sooner
does Il Gentle enter Salt Lake City than
he is placed under the surveillance of
the secret police. y member of the
DANTE organization is lcputcd 10 watch

opposer of Mormon iniquity. The day
has been when expression of opinions
inimical to the Mormon leaders would
result III assassination to the bold de-
fender, and sometimes even the mere
suspicion that Gentilc was opposed to
the Mormon rule would produce such u
result.
The true secret of Brigham's great
success in controlling the discordant
elements OF which his Church is com
posed is due to fears of the Dantvs. The
Mormons know that certain death by
assas.> >iuation awaits violation of their
oaths, ana tnat although inc day OF Their
doom may be postponed it is sure to
come with the opportunity. 1t is true
that many apos;atcs have escaped as

Gcntiles near Salt Lake City have for

BURNING SPRING IN INDIANA,

A real natural curiosity is the burn
ing spring near Francesville, Pulaski
county. The spring is on the farm Of a
Mr.. Blair. 1t was intended for an oil
we'll, but instead of striking oil, the
borers came upon huge volumes Of gas
and water, strongly impregnated with
sulphur. The well was abandoned, and
the gas being lighted it continues to burn
with undated vigor, looking as did the
''pillar of fire" of old A visitor de'
scribes the phenomenon in the following
graphic style
"Here am, cut on the will prairie,
three miles from any place, writing BY

Rev. DIR. Cuyler, in the New York
Evangelist, writes as follows concerning
fashionable weddings
We are invited to officiate at a wedding
in. a christian family. We
observe, as the assembly gathers, that
there is prevailing extravaganza in cosS
tume-nOt merely in its cost but in
gretesqueness Of caricature and delormity.
Jewels abound; on the persons OF pro-
Tossing Christians too. The glossy hair
of many young maiden is Obscured
under an humiliation of powder as if tub
of -four had been overturned upon her in
malice. Some Of the dresses seem to
have been constructed for the express
purpose Of exposing the person and con-
cesling the carpet.
After the solemn ceremony of marriage
is concluded with prayer, the company
repair TO the superbly furnished refresh
ment room. A bowl Of punch stands in
one corner. There is frequent popping
Of champagne corks, and glasses circulate
freely through the crowd. We notice
two things: large number of ladies
drink wine, and the faces Of several
Young gentlemen present look as if they
drank quite too much every day. (Byt
and bye, perhaps, some of these ladies
will send for Us TO consult with then
about the reformation OF intemperat'
busbapds or brothers.) As soon as tn,
eating and drinking are over, the musi
strikes up, and the dancing and waltzinI
becin-and end not until long after sobe
christian people should be in their beds
We halt long enough to see the parlor
crowded with the opening dance; W
look on and see a dozen of our youn
chnrch>members go off into the iroli'
and VIC turn homeward, sick at heal
with the Inconsistencies Of church>men
bers who turn christian home into
house of revelTy.

VOLCANOES.

The history of Vesuvius, written by
John Phillips, Professor of Geology at
Oxford, England, discusses the different
theories of volcanic action. The list OF
Vesuvian minerals shows that sixteen
metallic elementary substances are to be
found in the lava and ashes Professor
Phillips arrives at the conclusion that an
interior fluid, composed of silicated
earths, alkalies and metal, accessible to
water and open, OF capable OF being
opened, TO the air Of the ocean, is the
fundamental condition Of volcanic excite
mcnt. He aScribcS the auidity Of these
DO lies TO the inherent heat of the globe
and, diScarding the chemical theories o.
Davy and Daubeny, ascribes the genera
causes to the expansion of water by
heat, as giving the mechanical force
necessary for the eruption of volcanic
matter.
