The Mountain Meadow Murder.

A Salt Lake City dispatch states that
the Mormons of Beaver county, Utah,
are greatly excited, because they antici-
pate an attempt to arrest prominent
saints indicted for participation in the
Mountain Meadow massacre. It is rep
resented that the Mormons evince a de-
termlned spirit to resist the expected
legal process by the District Court, and
the authorities will probably call for the
assistance of the United States troops
to a1d them in the discharge of their
duty. 1t is not unlikely that bloodshed
will occur, but it is high time the Nor
mons were taught that the law of the
church, or, what is the same thing. of
the Prophet Brigham, is subseryient
to the law of the land, and that crinni-
nails, even in Utah, must be brought to
justice.
Twenty years have passed since
party OF emigrants, numbering over
three hundred men, women, and chill
dren, pursuing peaceably their Journey
from Missouri to California, were MUIR
dered in cold blood at Mountain Mead
ow, in Utah. But one escaped to tell
the horrible story of slaughter. Nine
little children, too young, as it was
supposed, to realize their terrible situa-
ton, were saved, and adopted By the
Mormons. Three of these afterward
displayed too clear knowledge of what
had transpired, and they were also put
out OF the way. The other six were
subsequently restored by the United
States officials to their friends and rela-
tives in Missouri. The Mormons at
the time attempted to shift the respon-
sibility of the massacre upon the indi-
ans, but subsequent developments leave
no doubt that the whole slaughter was
planned and perpetrated by the Nor
mons themselves. Those high in au-
thority in the church directed the bloody
work, and prominent "Saints" have
recently been indicted by the grand
jury for murder by participation in the
massacre. 1t is to be hoped they will
speedily be brought to justice, tried,
and if found guilty, suffer the just pen
atty of their crimes. The United States
laws have been dead letter in Utah
Territory for years, but the last session
OF Congress adopted legislation which,
though not altogether satisfactory, has
at least had the effect of setting the
wheels of justice in motion. = NeaO

The MOultOn Statement Stopped by the
English telegraph Authorities.

On the arrival at Queenstown of every
American steamer, the correspondents
of the leading London papers are in the
habit of transmitting by telegraph the
summary of news contained in the New
York papers. Last week one or two Of
these correspondents wired Moulton's
statement, which was duly distributed
by the telegraph authorities. Subse-
quently, however, they judged that a
good deal of the statement consisted of
objectionable matter" and other
correspondence at Cork was stopped.
The next morning the London papers
were notified, in lengthy document,
that their correspondents had placed
matter on the wires, as extracted from
the American papers, relating to the
socalled Beecher-Tilton case, which
could not be transmitted to London,
viewing that it must pass through the
hands OF number of respectable fe-
male clerks. The Postofice pointed to
the provisions of the act of Parliament,
and added that it had been but on very
rare occasions when the authorities had
made use of their prerogative, but in

had received their messages. Hence
the telegraph department. was only
partly successful in exercising their
rights OF censorship over the press. A
portion OF the reports were printed in
the Times, Standard and Daily Meas,
who exercised their own judgment what
to publish or what to suppress. But in
these cases, [ understand, the Cork
correspondents were notified not to re-
peat the ofense, and they in due
course apologized for not having
expunged from their reports the So
called Objectionable matter" Our

Concerning macdufr and Macbeth.

Macduff was a historical character,
and the claims of the Earls of Fife and
Wemyss to be descended from him are
pretty well authenticated bat the
witch's prophecy to Banquo, Thou
shalt get kings, though thou be none, ="
was not verified by events. Early
authorities show no such person as Ban
quo and his son Fleance, nor have We
reason to think that the latter ever fed
further from Macbeth than across the
fat scene, according 60 the stage diree-
tions. Neither we're BanquO or his
son ancestors of the house of Stuart. F"
Instead of being 8 usurper, Macbeth
was q legitimate claimant of the throne /;
instead of being the victim of a mid
night and treaeherous murder, Duncan

Young Grass.

The German papers publish details of
a series of experiments carried on at
the agricultural schools of fatherland,
for the purpose of testing the nutritive
properties of grass and hay at various
stages. The experiments were initiated
by the excessive demand for forage in
Germany, but are not the less valuable
on that account. By an elaborate series
of analysis, it is shown why young
grass is more nutritious than mature
grass. The physiological experiments
show that it Is more easily digested.
Thus grass two and half inches high
contains nearly fifty per cent. more of
albumenoids than grass which is six
inches high, and about ten per cent
more of "crude fat" (524 per cent.
again 3. 52). The mature grass CON
tains more woody fiber and less flesh
forming matter than the young grass.
and besides this it is found that the
nutritious abulmenoids exist in less
soluble form in hay than in young
grass. Hence the difference of nutri-
tive value and digestibility. Autumnal
hay is found to be more nutritious than
summer hay.

IN INDIANA.
BLUFFToN. The weman's temperance
alliance here have been offering up
prayers for the past ten or twelve days,
we have, their attention being turned
to prevent the opening of any others.
They have induced numbers who had
signed petitions to Withdraw their
names, and on the 5th, when the county
commissioners commenced business, the
ladies', one hundred in number, marched
to the courthouse in quiet manner, and
the question of the right of parties to
withdraw their names from applications
was discussed at great length. Quiet
late the county board decided that the
parties signing petitions have the right
to withdraw their names at any time be-
fore the license Is granted. This Virtu-
ally stopped the issue of any new Il
eea 5es. The ladies left the courthouse
singing and praying, and the church
bells Tere rung over this, their first
victory. 9aa z1
RICHMoND. The crusaders attorney
argued on the 9th, against an npplica-
tion for license before the commission
ers. It is probable all applications will
be defeated. One saloon-keeper has his
entire stock packed for shipment, and
another is anxious to quit business. The
women are very sanguine of their sue
cess. An enthusiastic mass temoerance
meeting was held there the same night

liquor progresses finely. Thus far they
have succeeded in defeating every petit

sade has taken, but can do nothing.

ment Possesses the whole town. Public
speaking and prayer-meetings in behalf

How they Measured the Flagstan.

The following suggests that many
studies dreaded by the young, and com
monty supposed to be hard and uninter-
esting, may be made as easy as fun:
told the boys to go over and mea-
sure the height of the flagstaff OF
Georges Hill, in Fairmount park, and
they looked at me in sstonishment,
asking at the same time how they could
do it-fOr both they and / knew they
could not climb to the top. So I ex-
planned to them how they might do it.
without going to the top-and they
made the instrument themselves with
which to do it.
They got a square rail, about four
feet long; then, at one end, they nailed
to it, at right angles, straight stick
three feet high exactly one foot dis
tar t, they pailed another straight stick
four feet fsgh, then another, one foot
distant, five feet high.
The instrument was complete, and
they all started over to the hag-pole
with it. When they got as near 70 the
pole as they thought the pole was high,
they pIumbed it, by holding a string,
with q stone tied to it, at the top of one
of the sticks the stick was made to
stand just as straight up and down as
the string.
Then they sighted, or looked along
the tops of the upright sticks, at the
hag-p0le. By moving the instrument
Just to the right place, they made the
sticks Grange" with the top of the
pole that is, while looking over the
top of the three sticks, their eyes, see
ing the end of the sticks all the while,
saw also the very top of the flag pole.
BY measuring them, from that spot
TO the fag-pole, along the ground, they
were able to tell me that the flag staff
was one hundred and twelve feet dis
tant from them, and 50 the flag staff vas
one hundred and twelve feet high.
Now, this was q simple application Of
geometry. lesson that looks lawful :"
hard to boys at school, but was only
fun learned in this way.
