What the MOrmOns Believe.

A Mormon writes to the New York
Erem!rg Post: The Mormon people no
more entertain the idea of removing
from Utah than the Bostonians reflect
on the possibility of e~vacuating Boston.
| can not express Il conviction of their
permanent residence in any stronger
terms. They believe that when the
Millennium, of which there are no pres
ent indications, shall come, the Saints
of the Lord will be gathered together
in jackson County, Mo-, where they will
reign for 200 years, all the rest of the
world, even including Boston, being de-
stroyed Whom they will reign over,
by the by, has never been told us. Until
that glorions day shall come they are
directing their main efforts to the up-
building of Utah. The only foundation
such reports as are frequently seen
in the newspapers is the sending out of
an occasional colony into the neighbour
ing Territories, chiefly rs a missionary
for the conversion of the Indi-
ms. The "Book Of Mormon" teaches
hat the American Indians, therein
,ermed ~Lamanites, are the descendants

all nations to Il saving knowl-
of the truth, its first endeavors
re to be for the salvation of these rem

How to Cure q Topper.

According TO an article in the "Brit-
ish Medical journal, ii has been found
by DIR. Renger that the tincture of cap
sicum in ten-drop doses is the best rem
edy to counteract that craving for alco-
hol which is the curse of all inebriates,
preventing their return to rational con
duct. This remedy has been tested by
other physicians, and they report very
favorably in regard to it. They give
several instances of men of various
ages who, half-muddled, hung around
low drinking saloons, or at home, and
who, when the liquor was shut up,
would pick the lock, or whenthe money
was taken from them would tipple on
credit whenever they had a chance
The best way to administer this remedy
is to commence with five drops in a lit
tie syrup of orange peel before meals,
increasing the dose of capsicum tincture
to twelve drops. In INT month most of
them became quite different men, chang
ing from half-idiots to men who attend
ed to their business, and took an inter-
est in all that was going on in the world,
which they before, being confirmed
drunkards, did not, according to the
habits Of the latter class of unfortu-
ateg,
