THE MORMON REGIR4.

For some time past correspondents at
Salt Lake City have been reporting that
Brigham Young contemplated transferring
the Mormon population to Arizona and New
Mexico. Various reasons have been as J.
signed for this projected hegira, but it is
now said that the true one has been care
fully concealed until recently. Within q
few weeks past Brigham has grown more
communicative and has given q very SEN
satiOnal explanation of tie causes which
prompted him to abandon the wonderful
city which he has built IN the wilderness.
One of his pretensions as head of the Nor
mon Church is that he possesses the gilt
Of prophecy, and he says that he has re COW
ed a divine message to the effect that Iii
ak years at the longest Salt Lake Valley will
be entirely submerged in water. This is the
sort of prediction that it will do to watch,
and that our readers may be well informed
on thesubject, the following extracts given
from a conversation which a correspond
ent of the Detroit Free Press represents
that he had with Prophet Young. TIE
correspondent asked Brigham what would
cause the phenomenon hepredicts, and the
answer was as follows:
at is o we'll known fact that Salt Lake has
no visible outlet foc it's waters, though num-
Der of streams of considerable volume are
continually discharging their waters into it.
1t has always been conceded that there was
some subterranean outlet through which the
surplus waters have been discharged. In the
past few years the waters of the lake have
been rising on au average, ten inches per
year. Now, through my powers of divination,
have discovered that the outlet is being
closed up on account of the vast quantities OF
sodium and chloride gathering at its mouth.
Five years at longest will be sufficient to
close it entirely, aud then Salt Lake valley
will be one vast ocean, and Salt Lake city in
the ocean"

Father Weninger, s. j., is o man of fabulous

This week be goes to Pennsylv ania, and early
in June he is to deliver the Centennial address
cieties in Philadelphia. We have heard an
GU time OF the points on which this will touch,
and we may promise our brethren throughout
the Union one of the most stirring and instruc-
tive lessons that has been, hitherto, publicly
addressed to any body of Catholic societies
during this year of celebrations. From Phila-
delphia he will continue his work, finding him
self in Montana, and, possibly, even in Oregon
before he returns to New York, where he is to
begin mission in the fall. Besides being
steam missionary" in his person atty he
is one also in another respect. He null
tiplies himself one thousand fold by the books
be is constantly sending from the press-books
which embrace contributions to every depart
ment of Catholic literature, from the splendid
intellectual treat, Photographic Views" up
to that most difficult production, catechisms
for the young and uninstructed. Like all his
brethren whom we have ever met, he believes
in the Catholic press, which he wishes in

every town where there are 10000 or Is 900
Catholic families. ApropSs of his view on the
Catholic press, we may quote his advice to the
married men and heads of families, which,
coming from a missionary of bis wide expe-
rience, is of double interest: 81 congratulate
you, that in your city there is published Ca
tholic paper entitled the Catholic RerieSo, which

IDnblin NRtion.I

More than once the Trish World, New York,
has published, n foundation for q charge
against the patriotism of some of the Irish
members of Parliament, form of oath which,
it says, they all have to swear to before they
This oath it quoted, if we mistake not against
Mr.. O'Connor Power during his lecturing tour
in the United S ,ates; and more recently il has
flung it at the head of Mr.. A. M Sullivan. One
of the clauses of this alleged Parliamentary
oath binds the swearer to disclose all treason
able conspiraces" against the Queen, her heirs
and successors. On this (supposed) clause the
say that it builds up a fine pile of argument.
but the basis is q pure fiction. No such oath
is sworn to by members Of Parliament. Neither
O'Connor Power, nor A. NJ Sullivan, nor John
Martin, nor Joseph Ronayne, ever took any
such oath. From this fact it follows that the
attacks made by the Irish World on this ground
against certain of the Irish members are un-
founded and calumnious.

Guarding the right, avenRing the wrong,
Cleaned the sword OF Lee!

And they who saw it cleaning there.
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led, they would dare
To follow and 10 die.
Out of it's scabbaId! Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led Drawer band,
Nor Drawer bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter band had a cause as grand

And when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,

Ocular Development.

The eye is progressive organ, and
sees much more now than it used to.
The Vedas, the most ancient written
documents, attest that, in the remotest
historic times, only two colors were
known, black and red. A very long
time elapsed before the eye arrived at
the perception of the color yellow, and
still longer time before green was dis
tinguished; and in the most ancient
languages the terms which designated
yellow insensibly passed to the signifi-
cation of green. The Greeks had, &C.
cOrding to the received opinion, the
perception of color very well developed !;
and yet authors assure US that in the
time of Alexander Greek painters had
for fundamental colors only white,
black, red and yellow. The words to
designate blue and violet were wanting
to the Greeks in the most ancient times
of their history; they called these colors
gray and black. The colors of the rain
bow were only distinguished gradually,
and the great Aristotle only knew four
of them. When the colors of the prism
are photographed there remains outside
the limits of the blue and violet in the
spectrum distinct impression, which
our eyes do not recognize as color.
According to Psychologists, time will
come when the human eye will be per-
fected so as to discern this color as well
as the others.

THE derivation of many words in
common use is exceedingly curious and
interesting. Probably few people have
any idea whence comes the word
tramway," by which the English de-
note hOrse-car track. 1t is derived
from the second syllable of the name
Oatram. The ancestor of Sir James
Outram, a very distinguished General,
who died few years ago, took a lead
ing part in extending horse railroads
for drawing coal, etc., and the roads
were called Outram ways, and gradu-
ally the first syllable was dropped. An
other curious derivation is that of the
word "wallop," meaning to beat. ssI'n
wallop him." is still frequent express
sion in rural England. 1t arises from a
complete naval victory of Admiral
Wallop, member of the very ancient
family of which the Earl of Portsmouth
who also has the honor to represent
Sir Isaac Newton-is now the head.

ALBERT SCHILLING, an cid German
physician, has come into notoriety in
Cincinnati by pretending to have power
over witches. Several months ago he
declared that sick child was bewitch-
ed, and the parents, believing it, put
the case into his hands for treatment.
He performed incantations for three
days, and the child recovered. Other
cases were given to him and he has
done thriving business. He has large
collection of German books containing
the necromantic nonsense Of the mid
die ages, and he follows their directions
in his operations against the supposed
evil spirits. The Cincinnati newspaper
reports have ridiculed him without
stint, and he has been arrested often
for drunkenness, yet his business does
not diminish. Lately he has been en-
ployed by superstitious persons to find
hidden treasure. Doubtless he is him
self dupe, because he recently an
nounced that he would invoke the devil
at a certain time, invited large party
to see the spectacle, and seemed greatly
when his charms did not
prove potent.

Two Educated Criminals.

Vienna has just been startled by the
murder of bank collector named Ruga.
This crime adds to the guilt of blood
shed the baseness of plagiarism. The
plan of entrapping a bank collector at
the end of his days work and of APP
propriating the proceeds thereof belongs
to Lacenaire, and Francesconi, the Vi
emma murderer, is only a copyist. Their
parallelism is curious and instructive,
however. Francesconi is described as
a young offshoot of a very good family
and speaks four languages. Lacenaire
had an excellent Paris university edu-
cation. In Vienna Francesconi was
sought by the best society of Klagen-
swort; in Paris Lacenaire was consid-
cred no mean poet, and his verses sold
better for while than those of the aris-
tocratic De Vigny or meek Antony Des-
champs. In some points, however,
they differed. Lacenaire missed his
man because the crafty receiver of the
Bank of France had deposited his treas
ure in store near by, and, being able
to defend himself, could fly. Frances.
conf succeeded in dispatching. bis man,
and himself fled, SO that Lacenaire was
caught in the act and Francesconi at
the frontier. Thence the difference in
the career of the two murderers be.
comes as close as two rays of the spec
trum. The poet was beheaded-the
linguist will be hung. But the differ
ence will not prevent US from making
reflection common to both. To be a
Lecenaire or Francesconi, ad ibit,na,
one must have received q good educa-
ton. For such deeds and consequent
celebrity no ploughboy nor bootblack
need apply. If stealing has become
line art, numbering requires classical
and it costs as much to So
,iety to make an assassin as an acade-
nician,

Mr.. and Mrs. Marlborough were mar.

Marlborough was yet only "a years old,
and had grown handsome. Mr.. Var
borough had also improved in appear
ance. They fell in love; but this time
her parents forbade the intimacy, and
locked her in her room. He got her
out through window, they eloped, were
chased by her angry father, were re-

isfed than when they were united with
out any row.
