respect him for saying he shall keep that
horse SO long as he is fit tor service and
then keep him atterward 50 long as he is
able to eat well-and then gently dispatch

MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 27. 1874.

Joe Smith Of Mormon fame, is one of til,
greatest examples. He affirmed 1t 10 be of an
gellc dictation. The records OF his faith wer,
alleged to have been pointed ont TO him by al
angel In the neighborhood Of Palmy ra, New
York. These were carefully screenrd from
public gaze, while from behind the screen Smitl
interpreted them.
Beginning in New York State he was mob
bed, and received coat of tar and feathers
Subsequently he traversed Ohio, Missouri and
Illinois, where he settled. Here he announc-
ed bis doctrine OF p0lygamy in l645. For this
he Was imprisoned, and band of ruughs, two
hundred strong, burst into the Jail and shot
both Joe and his brother. Such was the fsnat-
ic Mormondom reverses as the greatest prophet
since the Messiah's advent.
But the last enormous fraud W III not Weld to
TO any preceding one In its absurdity and i'm
pudenca. 1t is the impersonation of Sir Roger
Tichborne by the daring adventurer, "Arthur
Orton." trial Ofalmost unparalleled length
aud careful scrutiny has ended at last in prov
ing himself for butcher, and not the baIo-
net he proclaimed himself. For long time it
was extremely difficult to Judge as TO the truth
or falsity Of the claim. But after $50 days spent
10 slfiing the evidence both for the prosecution
and defence, there can now remain no rational
doubt that the Claimant was a vile conspira-
tor. The confession of his brother seems TO
set the whole matter at rest, And now that
the world has heard the sen tence of fourteen
years. penal servitude pronounced, it can COM
fort itself with the thought that it is not likely
to be imposed upon again by 'Orton' alias 'Cas-
tro' alias 'Tichborne.' Thus ends the latest
extraordinary inposture, and men wonder who
Will be the next knave that will endeavor to
act the role oi the deceiver. Whosoeycr he
may be, he must be more cute than ever, as
the public are becoming so enlightened that
there will be less and less chance Of ofsuccessful-
iy acting out any great impos,lre. e.-Epangeii-
