And We knew them, one aud all

Seven sad men in the days of old,
And one was gentle and one was bold,
And they walked with downcast.cycs:
The bold was Peter the gentle was John,
Aud they all were sad. for the Lord was gone,
And they knew not II he would rise
Knew no: IL the dead would rise.

A correspondent writing from Salt Lake
City says that Brigham Young is no longer
the power he once was. During the year
great changes, socially and financially, have
been brought about, and the people Of
Utah are beginning 10 think for themselves.
There are now being held in the city regu-
lar services in the Episcopal church, Metho-
dist church, - well ~ occasional assem-
blics of other denominations. Under the
influence thus exerted upon the Mormons,
many of the saints have been induced to
to abjure liormonism, and have been
brought back to their former faith.

Leuenburger, native of Switzerland, about

two years, has been paying his attentions
to Urbana Meyer, a native Of Germany, and
about 20 years of age. To-day he asked
her to be his wife and was refused. He i'm

just above the noee. Dropping the pistol,
and picking up bread knife, Leuenbergcr
stabbed himself three times in the right
side. but not seriously. He was arrested
and taken 10 the police station, where ply.
sicians examined his wounds and pronoun.

An inquest was held oyer the body Of Miss
Meyer, .and verdict was given in accor.

From the Tribune, 1871
It is stated that some one had sent him
caricaturc valentine on Tuesday morning,
and incloscd a piece of twine and nsil,
with the intimation that he might 50 and
hang himself, for he could never secure the
prize he sought, namely, the hand of Miss
Meyer. Soon after receiving this, he pro.
cecdcd TO saloon in the village where a
young man named Langc, who is said to
have won the affections of Miss Meyer,
is employed. Lcuenburgcr probably in
tended to shoot Langc, but failing to find

HORRIBLE SCENE At AN ExEcUTroN.-
John Howard was hanged last week at
Cumberland, Maryland. He had been given
IN extra allowance of whiskey, and was in
a half drunken condition when he assembled

cred there was rush of the crowd, the mil
itsry not excepted, 10 obtain view of the
corpse The absurd practice OF obtaining a
piece of the ''hangman's rope" was carried
to ridiculous extent. Not satisfied with
using their knives to cut off pieces of the
rope, many were seen to rub their piece of
rope against the gallows, the coffin, the
shroud, and even attempt to draw it across
the face of the corpse. The jam and crush
was only stopped by the peremptory orders
Of the Sheriff to tie military to remove the
intruders and to protect the body.
One old lady forced herself under the
scaffold, saying ''shc was going home and

President Theirs and Pope Plus.

The relations between President Theirs and
the Holy Father, at the present time, are of
peculiarly interesting character. The French
Executive, possibly in anticipation If changes
which may occur in the immediate future Of
France, is trimming his sails acco rdingly.
He is anxious to conciliate the Pope, and is
doing everything in his power to make as
good show as possible in that direction.
With the French peasantry manifestations of
this kind 60 q great way. Devout Catholics
as they are, they are also strong Bona
partists. They associate the days of the
empire with the most prosperous in their
recollections, and long for a return of these
times No one knows this better than
the present head Of the French nation. Ca
lamitous as were the disasters which befell
France during the last days of the empire, the
name of Napoleon is not forgotten by them.
The position of the Pope in Rome the rumors
of his proposed departure from that city and
the recent interviews of the Minister accredited
to the Vatican, prepare us in q measure fox
any movement on the part of His Holiness.
In case he should leave Rome, where will he
take up his residencep M. Theirs almost as
good as answers the question when he places
the Chateau Of Pau at his disposal, and has
stationed frgate at Civita vecchia to be used
In case His Holiness should need 1t to bear
him to the hospitable shores Of France. Gen.
erous as this offer of M. Theirs is.
we think he would rather the Pope would
remain where he is. In his dealing with
this question M. Theirs is attempting the
difficult undertaking of riding two horses. He
does not invite the Pope directly to take up
his residence in France, but he offers him the
generous hospitality of the nation If he should
come. If M. Theirs sentiments were thor
oughly estimated we think they would amount
to this :-"Your Holiness is welcome If you
come, but would sooner you would remain
where you are." 1t is impossible to say what
course the Holy Father will eventually adopt,
but 1t is some consolation for him to know
that he has home to 60 to should he resolve
to leave the Vatican and, generous as is the
offer of President Theirs, there are other
nations, we have no doubt, ready to accord
the Holy Father quite as friendly an offer as
that given by France through M. Theirs.
