SMALL-POx AMONG THE INDIANS
We hear It reported that the small
poX has broken out among the In
dams in this section. Indeed, it is
said that several have already de-
parted for the happy hunting
grounds. We cannot vouch for the
correctness of theserumors, but pre-
sumo they are correct, as they have
had ample opportunity to contract
the terrible scourge. Smallpox is
dead shot among the Indians,
owing to the manner in which they
are exposed to the inclement wea-
Their. We have heard it stated, how
ever, that some of them occasionally

In his character as Prophet Of Yahveh.,' he was
not content to promulgate new religious
revelation, which they were willing to obey,
but must needs make certain novel rules
IN regard to their property-a topic upon
which down-east people are not at all inclined to
be superstitious. When the seceders. Including
the prophets wife, had left him With such prop
arty as they could recover by law, Joseph began
to rule with high hand the INDECENT few Who
remained true to the faith. He had all the
watches and jewelry in New Canaan turned over
TO nm as forbidden gauds. He confiscated one
o1 o1 the remaining females and installed her as
MS queen in the splendid tent he oc~
cnpled. He propheHed the destruction of tho
high officers Of the United States Government

tro3 OF the country would then vest absolutely

SONG AND MAID.

a poet toiled over song for the maid
Who had plghted her troth to him,
And he leaned and wrote in the gathering shade
TIL his eyes were dim.
But the maiden strolled on the distant beach,
And listed auother's tender speech.
The poet sang of her 1ove-lit eye,
So softly and deeply blue;
how Its soulful gaze, half arch, half shy,
He only knew.
But the maids blue eyes we're shedding their Light
On the face Of tall, dark man that night.
He sang Of her hand so white and fair,
And soft as hnnd could be;
and the tng,' he sang, "that Is cleaning there
Binds her to me-"
But the nnid to her tall companion said,
"This ring? 'tis the gift Of friend that's dcad.s
He sang of her ripe and dewy Lips,
''They are roses before they blow;
And tho taste from the nectar TINT from them drips
I, only, Know"
But the maid Us she walked in the moonlight's mist,
Lifted her face and was lovingly kased.
He sang Of her voice, att is sweet and clear,
As the voice Of the gentle dove,
So tender that alone can hear
Her words Of love-"
But the maiden whispered to one by the seat

All, poet! finish our last light strain,

Yet helping to l1urel brow with fame

And through the valley Of dark despair

them with water then no fire could be commu-

Most persons who Own and use carriages or
wagons doubtless think they know how and when
to wash them, but few hints from the Carriage
Journal may not be out of place:
Washing wagons is too often looked upon as
an operation solely for the purpose OF removing
coat OF mud; this is one Of the objects, and an
important one, but the wagon should be washed
even when there is no mud on it, During the
summer, the yarnish loses it's lustre, and as
sumes dull, dirty appearance, unless it is fre-
quently washed. When wagon is badly COW
cred with dirt, it is best to soak the dirt
loose, by wetting it with large sponge,
but not rubbing it.. In cities, where water
can be forced through a pipe, the sponge need
not be used until the bulk Of the dirt has run
of, then use the sponge, commencing ut the

The Mountain Meadow NTassacre-Emi-
grants Murdered by Mormon Troops.
SALT LAKE CITY, September l3-An aft
davit has been made by one of the most
guilty among the participators in the Noun
tain Meadow massacre, showing conclu-
sively that the terrible slaughter was the
act of the Mormon authorities. 1t will be
remembered that large company of emf
grants on their Way to California are
known to have been all killed, with the ex-
ception of the young children. When this
massacre was discovered the Marmons set
attoat the story that they had persisted by
the hands of tho Indians.
From time to time circumstantial evil
dence has appeared indicating that they
were murdered in cold blood by the Nor
mons in revenge for previous outrages upon
the latter perpetrated in Illinois and Mis-
souri,. competent witness now states un-
der oath that the Mormon militia attacked
the emigrants, and, after fight of several
days without result, sent in flag of truce
offering them protection if they would lay
down their arms.
These terms being complied with, the en-
tire party of men and women were butch
cred by their captors. The deponent, Philip
Chgnon Smith, who was at the time a Nor
mon bishop of Cigar City, was a re-
crnit in the Mormon militia, and was told
by Lieutenant Colonel Haight that he
(Haight) had orders from headquarters to
kill all the emigrants. He heard the orders
passed down the Mormon line to shoot the
emigrant prisoners, and witnessed the en-
tire massacre. He took charge of the chill
dren, the only members of the party saved
The shooting force was under command
of Major John g. Lee, who made speech
to his men shortly before the massacre,
stating that his orders from headquarters
were to kill the entire company of emf
grants except the small children.
