Mormon History-The Chronology OF
dg the Latter Day Saints. E

~ T
The existing crisis in Utah lends in
terest to the following sketch of Nor
mon history, furnished to the New Yorl
Herald by Elder Ernest Lisle: y.
Joseph Smith, the prophet and foun
der of the Chlrch, was born in tn.
State of Vermont, in the year 1905
The designs of heaven were first made
known to him at the early age of fifteen
when he was informed in avision of the
utter apostacy of the primitive Church
September %, 1887, Joseph Smith re
ceived from the hands of messenger
of the Lord the golden records contain
ing the history of this continent, writ
ten by various prophets, and concealed
by Moroni in the year 420. Joseph was
then informed that he was to be an in
strument in the hands of God to re-es
tablish His Church in its former purity
and holiness. The prophet then pro
ceeded to translate the golden records
1800-The "Church" was organized
1S33-Our people suffered great per,
secution in independence, Mo.
1837-Elders and priests were sent to
the different nations of the earth in or.
der to establish the 'Church" through
out the world. 5.'t ."a
1838-Persecution ragged. The pro-
phet was betrayed into the hands his
enemies by second Judas pro-
fessed friend. Shortly afterward Gov.
Boggs, of Missouri, issued his order of
determination, followed by the massacre
of number of our people in that
State.
1840-The people began to build Nau
VOC, Ill.
184l-The cornerstone of the Nau-
VOC Temple was laid by the prophet.
1S42-Joseph prophesied that our
people would be driven to the Rocky
Mountains nJ go
1S44-The prophet and his brother
were murdered in the prison at Garth
age, Ill. During an eveDtful life of 80
years he was arrested, tried, and honor
ably acquitted over forty times, which
SO incensed his enemies that they shed
the blood of innocent men. Before go
ing to prison Joseph said, in a
prophetic manner, ~ go like a
lamb to the slaughter, but my
conscience is void of offense toward God
and toward ali men. 1t shall be said of
ulC, llC was III COlu OlOOOs
l845-A large mob, led on by two
Christian ministers, attacked Nauvoo,
and battle was fought. I9e a-H
3 1S46-The exodus from Nauvoo be-
gan. A Mormon regiment was sent to-
Mexico by order of the United States.
1S47-Pfesident Young entered Utah,
known at that time as the Great Ameri-
can Desert. ...-.-.
1848-The mob set the temple in
Nauvoo on fire. H
1852-Revelation on polygamy first
made known. Since that time we have
caused Utah to blossom as the rose,
reared the most moral city on earth,
and, while President Young has gov
erned us, known little or 40 crime, with
stood two military expeditions. have
been applauded for our frmness, and
called by the London Times nation of
heroes, and here affirm that we are
loyal, law-abiding people, and desire
nothing more than the prosperity of
our Territory. ......- .... &.

Absorbent Powers of Mellow Soil.

Experiments have shown that mel.
low, loamy soil is capable of absorbing G
in twelve hours, when exposed to a
moist atmosphere, an amount of water
equal to two per cent. of its weight. IF
any argument were needed to keep the
soil mellow, here is a most powerful
one to convince us. For this property
possessed by mellow soil is one that
in dry season is able to give it the
power of maturing crop, 0hen a
hardened surface would be unable to do
so. A surface that is impenetrable to
the atmosphere, of course, could not
absorb any of the moisture with which
the atmosphere is charged. But, when
rendered free from Jumps by repeated
plowings and harrowings, each change
of temperature causes a circulation
of air throughout the mass of soil,
which is free then to absorb all the
moisture coming in contact with it
until it is saturated. So, then, the more
the soil is mellowed by cultivation, the
less it is injuriously affected by drought,
and the better it is enabled to mature a
fair crop in spite of the absence of rain.

Society and Fashion.

THE beautiful beaver brand mohair is
often taken for silk.
Very large collars are again the style
worn by ladies. ..-x
SOME very beautiful fans are made of
white lace, dotted with spangles and
edged with gold lace.
HoNlToN lace is used on all kinds of
dresses, and has most beautiful effect
on light evening silks.
AN ornamental way of draping under
skirts is to place five or six buttons two
inches apart half way down the side and
back seams, with loops under all but the
top button, each loop passing over the
button above it.
BLACK alpaca, like black silk. is n
standard fabric, and is suitable for all
seasons.
INDICATIONS are that velvet suits will
be the ultimatum of richness in winter
costumes.
SILVER coffin trimmings are hired out
of private funerals in Lewiston, Me-, to
be returned after the ceremony.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Washington
Chronicle declares there is as much $50
cial evil' among the ladies of that city
as in its recognized localities, and adj
vises the Woman's Club to look out for
vice which wears the cloak of respecta-
bility.
SOME scoundrel advertises in Cincin-
natl paper for "an opening letter from
some fresh country girl, up to the
age, and desiring to form city ac
quaintance." A girl would be either
very 'fresh" or very stale to take any
notice of such an individual.
