the miracles being usually, if not exclusively,

many have been already fulfilled, if We trust

A correspondent writes from Georgia: Every
mountain, valley and cascade of Northern
Georgia has an Indian tradition connected with
its history. The Cherekees used to relate one
which they said occurred at Toccoa Falls many
years before the white man came to their coun-
try. They were waginS fierce war with
powerful tribe who lived on the lowlands to the
southwark. During hard fought battle, 1t so
happened that the Cherokees made captive a
dozen of their foes, whom they brought home
to their country securely bound. Their inten-
ton was to sacrifice the prisoners; but as they
wished the ceremony to be imposing on account
of the fame of the captives, it was resolved to
postpone the sacrifice Till the time of the full
moon. In the meantime the Cherokee braves
went forth again to battle, while the prisoners,
now bound more strongly than ever, were left
in a wigwam near Toccoa, in charge of an old
woman noted for her savage patriotism.
Some days passed, and as the unfortunate
enemies lay in the lodge of the old woman, she
dealt out to them scanty supply of food and
water They besought her to release them, and
offered her the most valuable brides but she
held her tongue and remained faithful to her
trust. 1t was now morning of pleasant day,
when an Indian boy called at the door of the
old woman's ledge, and told her that he had
seen a party of their enemies on the other side
of the mountain few hours previous, and
it was probable they were coming to the rescue
of their fellows. She heard the intelligence in
silence Rc-entering the lodge, another appeal
for freedom was made, and the prisoners were
pleased to see smile playing upon the counte..
nance of their keeper. She told them she had
relented, aud promised that she would let them
escape, but it must be upon certain conditions.
They were first to give into her hands what few
personal effects they had left must depart at
dead of night, and, that they might not find
their way back, must consent to go blindfolded
for two miles through thick wood into an
open country, where she would release them.
The prisoners gladly consented, and as the
hour of midnight approached 1t was aceompa,
MED by heavy thunder storm. The night and
the contemplated deed were admirably suited.
She tied leathern bands over the eyes OF the
captives, and having severed the thongs that
fastened their feet led them forth with hands
still bound behind their backs. They were
fastened to each other by tough wlthes, and
were in this way led toward their promised
freedom. Intricate, winding, tedious, was the
way but not a murmer was heard or word
was spoken.
Now the strange procession reached level
spot of ground, and the prisoners began to step
more freely. Now they have reached the preci-
pice Of Toccoa-and, as the woman walks to
the very edge she makes sudden turn, and
the blind captives are launched into the abyss
below. A howl of savage triumph echoes
through the air from the old woman fend, and
with the groans of the dying in her ears and
the tightening in her path, she retraces her steps
to the lodge TO seek repose, AMI on the morrow
to proclaim her cruel deed.

Mormon Services and Habits.

In the Tabernacle the services are simple
and utterly without pOmp. A large organ
built by Mormon, and a numerous choir, fur
| nlsh music, the hymns being from the selection
of Emma Smith. If the president breaches he
| usually occupies lower seat on the raised
platform. Any one may be called upon to pray
| or exhort, and the extemporaneous sermons re.
sultlng from this practice are rambling, and
often Objectionable; but the president or apos-
ties generally extinguish any political heresy
that may thus be published by a final address.
Politics, fashions, griculture-indeed, all the
topics OF present lnterest-are discussed in
their Sunday meetings and coarsness and pro-
family often sully the lips of the highest digni-
tarles. So little sacredness seems to be at
tached to the place that the president does not
hesitate to make a town-hall of it whenever
convenient The Bible is used in the services,
and clergymen of various denominations who
may be in the city are invited to preach In
deed, the pulpit if it can be so called is open
to all shades of religious belief; and Mormons
cast it in the teeth of Christians that their pull
pits are not so free to the disciples of Joseph
Smith
The vast congregation Of from six to ten
thousand souls is RECALLED with strange food
In one sermon on Adams fall they were told
that "had Adam not yielded to Eve, he could
not have any progeny, and Gods command,
increase ana multiply, could not have been
fulfilled for Eve, had she alone sinned. must
have been eternally separated from her hus.
band. who would have remained in Eden. 1t
was in consequence of his thinking of this that
he did sacrifice himself, in order that man
might exist" If we are to judge Mormonism
from the sermons OF the present day, such
expressions as that Of Heber q. q. kimball,
who exhorted the missionaries 81 to bring to the
flock as many eve lambs as possible, but to be
careful to keep their hands off them until they
reached the fold, must have their weight and
it is the fact that such sermons are admirably
adapted to and enjoyed by the rude and igno-
rant populace. s
The Mormon Church has sort Of freema.
sorry, whose different stages are attained by
limitations, called endowments. These mystic.
ries will be performed in the Temple when that
strange building Is accomplished. From accounts,
which have every appearance of truth, the
endowments are wise instructions in human
anatomy and physiology, (which might well
have place IN any religious system inter.
spersed with miracle plays and mummery.
Both sexes are admitted to most, il not all, OF

simply this: A man is inspired to utter in

The Rise in the Price of Wool.

An uncommon excitement per.
vades at present the usually quiet
circle of dealers in wool and goods
made Of wool in this country. The
cause is the sudden rise of the
staple, which commenced elk or
eight weeks ago, and appears not
as yet to have reached its full limit.
Common Mexican wool, which used
to sell at from Is to 20 cents a
pound, is selling at from 80 to 80
cents. Carpet woods, usually quo.
ted at 30 cents gold, are held a.
371 cents. Cape woods have gone
up from IS cents to 40 cents;
Australian wool from AZ cents to
So cents; and what are called extra
feeces, which are q standard in
the wool market, like middlings in
the cotton market, are quoted at
from 81 to 81 cents, as against At
to 50 cents six weeks since. Even
shcarlings, which are the short
wool which grows on sheep be-
tween the time of their shearing ia
the spring and their slsughterin g
in tho fall, and are used for making
hats, sell at 40 cents pound,
instead of 25 cents, the old price
The various wooden manufac-
lures have responded Of course to
this rise in the raw material Car
pet yarns have advanced 374 cents
per pound to 80 cents per pound.
Two and three ply carpets are 121
per cent, dearer than they were,
and Brussels, which recently
fetched S195 per yard, are held at
50 Is. All kinds of wooden cloth
ana clothing material have advan
ced on an average 10 per cent ,
with an upward tendency. The
utmost activity is manifested in
the trade. The manufacturers
have orders ahead for everything
they can make for several months
to come. and. as is usual, the fear
of retail dealers Of higher prices
still to come leads them to rush in
and supply themselves at present
rates.
The prospect for the present is,
as we have sid, very good for
higher prices; but the production
Of wool over the whole world is sc
