tanned by the municipality of New York

The baletul influence of the Beecher
scandal has destroyed the confidence
hitherto reposed IL the cloth. In the
rural districts this effect is alarmingly no
ticeablc. On Sunday last this dstrust
deprived an estimablc Westminster ma
tron OF the opportunity, to her most
dear, OF attending divine service in the
church of her choice. The scene is a
pleasant little village not many miles
from Mt. kisco, and the minister and the
lady are near nelghbors, their respective
residences being separated only by the
width of the main street. The minister
is middle-aged, gOod-natured, and ia
yOrlte. 1t was his custom every Sunday
to give his estimable parishioner Il seat
III the family carriage, so that she might
not have to walk half a mile to the
church. On Sunday The dominie's car
rage drew up in front Of the lady'S door.
She was waiting, and busting down, pre-
pared to get III, declining the parsons
protiered aid. Suddenly she noticed that
he was alone. Where is your wife z"
she asked abruptly. ''She is net well
enough to go to church to-day was the
reply Where is your daughter % was
stayed at home to take care Of her moth
er. An instant of hesitation followed !;
then the lady turned her back upon her
pastor, saying, Il guess won't 90 to
church with you; there is so much scan
dial about nowadays" She is ninety
wears Of AGE.

The anti-Beecher organ here is be-
moaning the fate that has overtaken
Moulton in connection with the late trial.
This organ 1.-THE Argus) says that "Moul-
ton has been ruined as the case now
stands" that ''his commercial standing
has been attacked, his private character
assailed. and in open court his wife de-
nounced as perjurer.' The drgus fur
Their says that "Moulton's character has
been furnished by charges which make
him an enemy of the State that grand
jury publicly arraigned him said he was
the malicious libeler of an innocent man;
that he should be tried for his turpitude,
and it branded upon him disgrace
which he and his family
will carry to their graves. The Argus
further says a jury must "vindicate and
rehabilitate him (Moulton) before the
world,..' else he will go through life faint
ed. 1t bewails the fact that ''the public
have been made to believe that the accus-
ers and not the accused were on the de-
Tense in the late trial. and demands a re-
versai of this state Of things. 1t is known
to everybody here in Brooklyn that Moul-
ton himself makes great show of feeling
bad, and is determined upon revenge with
big r.
An amusing story is told here. There
is young Moulton, the son of his father
and mother, who were the main witnesses
against Beecher. This youngster, now
about fourteen years old, is said to be a
very free and independent, star-spangled
American citizen of the spread-eagle type
one of the kind not afraid of any body,
with opinions about things which he does
not suppress, even in his own home. The
Joke Of the business is that this youth all
through the trial has been red-hot adj
mirer and upholder of Beecher! He has
never ceased to proclaim himself a
''Beecher man. to assert his firm belief
in Beecher'S innocence, to argue the case
for Beecher, to declare that no evidence
would lead him to believe in Beecher' s
guilt. 1t was reported, at the exciting
periods of the trial, that he often made
the rafters above his domestic hearth
ring again with his arguments for Beech.
er and his invectiye against Tilton. | tell
this story because it is sad one; foI
ism t it sad to think that we can't control
the minds of our own children

sheridan,s Black HiiI. Orders.

lNili'dSO lIlphitI
1t should be generally known and
fully appreciated that General Sher-
idan has issued imperative in
structions that all persons endeav-
oring to reach the Black Hills shall be pref
vented from going, and all now there
shall be expelled. These orders are to
be obeyed until an official declaration of
the result of the conference between the
Government and the Indians. The orderi is
fully warranted by the fact that the
title to the country is in the
Indians, and that they are entitled
by their treaty to the protection
of the government. Aside from
this, the order may save
much suffering. loss of time and
money, and the generalization Of an ad-
vcntuTous and disappointed career, to
MANY a man.

who has turned States evidence in the
Mountain Meadow massacre trial, as well
as other important witnesses, will en-
tirely refute all charges which have been
made against Brigham Young and the
leaders of the Norman church in Salt

A Mild Tale of the GrasshOpper.
pheasant Hill MO Correspondence Cincinna
Commercially

| leaSant Hill Mo. Correspondence Cincinnati
Commercially
The story will tell it as it was told
me, without guarantee of truth. Early
last spring an old woman dug up pail
full of dirt in which to plant flower seed.
She put the pan under the stove, not once
thinking of grasshopper eggs, and went
out to see a neighbor. Upon her return,
after an hours absence, she found thous-
ands of millions Of grasshoppers, genera
ted from the eggs by the heat, literally
eating her out Of house and home. They
first attacked the green shades on the
windows, and then a green dust-pan. A
green Irish servant girl, asleep in one OF
the rooms, was the next victim, and not a
vestige of her was left. The stove and
stove-pipe were next eaten, and then the
house was torn down so that they could
get at the chimney. Boards, joists, beams,
clothing, nails, hinges, door-knobs, plates,
tinware--everything, in fact, the house
contained was eaten up, and the last the
good woman saw of the place, two of the
largest 'hOppers were sitting up on end
playing mumble-pegs with carving knife
for which should have the cellar.

The 'sEigarot' Club.

There has lately been organized in New
York club called the Figaro Dramatic
and Literary Association, which is to
offer equal facilities to men and women
alike, and is to be made particularly use
full as sort of dramatic agency, that
will do away with the extortionate mid
die men. The experiment is in some re-
spects a novel one for this country. In
London recently club was organized III
which both ladies and gentlemen actively
participate III the privileges of mem
bershlp. The latter has not yet
been IN existence long enough tO
determine whether or not it will
prove success, and consequently the
former is almost without precedent to
determine whether or not ladies and gen.
tiemen can mingle in the suffrages of a
club without sacrificing the main object
FOR which it is organized to incidental
and altogether collateral issues. lin the
Figaro there will be, as the list already
shows, quite number of the leading ac.
tors and actresses included III its mem
berShlp. Some of the features it pre-
SentS are very excellent; among others
| the paying of expenses of the funerals OF
deceased members, visiting the sick. al.
vanclng money to members in need
OF it, and the establishment OF
bureau that will enable Ia
dies and gentlemen contemplating an APP
pearance upon the stage to'obtain the
consideration of managers without being
subject to the discodrteous treatment
they have frequently to endure from
agents. A clubhouse elegantly furnished
Is talked of, and as a social organization
the best results are anticipated. Th
genial bearing of actors towards eacl
other is proverbial, and it is likely tina
everything will work smoothly enough OIL
the male side. But the bringing togethe
under one roof and within the same SO
cial circle of rival actresses is a matte
that should be seriously reflected upol
| before the articles of the constitution In
culcatmg enforced friendship are full
drafted

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

a telegram from Beaver, Utah, of the
14th, says the trial of those suspected of
being engaged in the Mountain Meadow
massacre has been set for the 10Th. John
d. Lee, one of the accused, has turned
States evidence, and will be the witness
for the prosecution and make full state
ment of all he knows of the Mountain
Meadow massacre. The cause Is said to
be that he believes he was to be sacri-
feed to appease the wrath of the govern
ment and shield the guilty parties by
perjury if necessary. There is a
strong feeling in favor of Dame on the
part of the people from southern Utah,
who are here as witnesses. Many of them
were concerned in the massacre, and they
evince great animosity toward Lee. Bish
op Hage and Spicer, counsel for Lee, have
advised him to tell the entire story. They
believe this to be the only way to save
their client, as well as to give the world
the whole particulars of this bloody af-
fair. 1t is said by those most closely
connected with the trial that there are
plenty of witnesses here to corroborate
all Lees statement, which will convict W.
II. Dame and many other high Mormon
authorities, and explain fully everything
