Mormon Humbuggery.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing as an intelligent
resident Of the Mormon City. declares
that the proscriptive policy Of the
Prophethas greatly retarded the pro-
'gress OF Utah; that while he was
growing rich, so that when he died
he was very rich. his people were
growing poor, and are now sunk In
squalor; that all the capital and
enterprise are GENTLE. The Gentiles
own the mines and run the railroads
the Mormous build the aqueducts,
through which water can't be induced
to run up hill, and the factories,
which don't manufacture. Young's
latest and favorite schemes of CO.
operation were unsuccessful. This
Is picture Of the prosperity OF Utah
which may lead many to conclude
that Brigham Young was a failure In
business others were con-
cerned- as well as q humbug In
prophecy.

One WAY of Taking Fire.

David Long, who carries milk to
the cheese factory, bad his milkcan
turned bottom up on table near the
kitchen door, to be purified by the
sun. This was the usual place OF
summing the milk-can. One day about
noon. Mrs. Long discovered the smell
OF burning wood, and called the at
tention of Mr.. Long to it. After some
search he found the window blind
above the can on fire. A hole had al
ready been burned. The fire caused
by the hollow, bright bottom of the
milk can forming a concave reflec-
tor, which gathered the parallel rays
of the sun into focus with sufficient
power to set fire to wood.-1urOrd

Gen. Lew Wallace and Indian Warfare

Gen. Lew Wallace has made a
proposition to the War Department
to allow him to enlist regiment or
battalion OF frontiersmen for perma-
nent service in the United States
army. He contends that the regular
army is a failure as far as Indian
fighting Is concerned: that the Custer
massacre was but a repetition OF
Braddock's defeat at Pittsburgh 100
years before, and worse as far rs the
loss OF life is concerned. He accounts
for the inefficiency OF the army in
Indian warfare by pointing out the
necessity OF loading men down with
supplies, while the Indians ~travel SO
light" He wants to raise a regiment
OF men mounted on Indian ponies,
who can ride, and shoot, and subsist
as Indians do. He wants every man
in the regiment to be familiar with
the Indian mode OF warfare, so they
can cope with them on even terms.
The Secretary OF War thinks, and so
replied to Gen. Wallace, that such a
regiment as he describes would be
very serviceable. but he does not
consider himself possessed OF the
authority to order its enlistment.
Moreover he thinks that the regular
army, as far as its numbers goes, is
efficient as any force can be. 1t is
true they could travel faster IL they
went each on his own account, with
out regard to dicipline, as the Indians
do, and supply trains are always a
drawback. Gen. Crooks campaign
In 1875 and 1876 with pack mules was
os successful as any could have been
because he was numerically strong
enough to follow up his advantages
as fast as he gained them, while Gen.
Howard has only a handful of men,
mostly infantry. and he has to stop
several times for reinforcements and
supplies.

Brigham,S YOung,s Will.

Brigham Young's will was read in
the presence OF all his wives and
children and few friends. Brigham
Young, ir., George Q. Cannon, and
Albert Darlington arc named as his
executors. The estate is largely real
estate, and is probably worth 81
100000. The will was made four years
ago, and his youngest child, born of
Mary Van Colt, was then three years
old. Young was the father of fifty
six children, and left seventeen wives,
sixteen sons, and twenty eight daugh-
tiers. The will aims to make an
equitable division Of the property be-
tween all the wives and children,
with no preference to any.

A correspondent with Hayes while
enroute toFreemont, asked the Presi
dent how he came to construct his
policy, which was seemingly at vari-
ance with his recent views while on
the stump In his last national cam
paign; did it grow upon you gradually
as circumstances seemed TO require?
The president replied as follows:
well, these views began to. take
form in my letter OF acceptance. /
considered the things in the South
saw how impossible IL seemed to re-
store order and peace and harmony
saw the violence and bloodshed at
their elections-how white republi-
cans as well as black were shot down
during their political centests-and /
asked myself, Why is it? and how
long must this continue? Those men
down South, the white educated citi-
zens, are as good men as you or /.
They are christians, not thieves nor
cut-throats nor bandits, yet they see
these things and approve them. II
they do not take part in them, why Is
It? and how long will they continue?
While thinking these questions over.
my mind reverted to the scene of the
war, and an incident OF the battle OF
Cedar Mountain came to my mind. II
was hard fought engagement, AMI
for time we could not tell how ii
would end. We who were In COM
mand had determined that, IL q GER
tain movement resulted In one way,
we would give certain orders. but IL
1t resulted otherwise. different orders
would be given. With our field glas-
ses we were watching the course OF
things. All at once I saw a com
motion. In the thickest OF the fray,
tho artillery had got to work and
were throwing shells, fast and with
unerring aim, into the solid ranks oil
the enemy. Heads were being blown
from their bodies, arms and legs torn
from their sockets, and souls sent
to one world or the other unprepared
and yet rejoiced and congratulated
my fellow officers that we were vic
torious. How could this be? Why
was It? 1t was because we were al
war. That one word solved In my
mind the problem of the South. The
people there were at war. There was
a conflict going on in the social and
political relations of the people
which were not matured, not harmon.
ious. There were disturbing ele-
ments among them. and while they
existed or were unduly active there
would be conflict. Let the cause oil
the conflict be removed, there will be
peace and ultimately harmony and
prosperity" ~ st

The president mildly retorted ::

Brady himself started like a deer

numbering foes. A few steps brought
him out OF the thicket, from which
they had discharged their guns, upon
. slope Of open woods. OF course,
he would be far more exposed to
shots and pursuit by the savages.
But they were coming up in his rear
yelling like fiends after his scalp, and
there was no choice for him but to
take the risk and make his best speed.
Away he went down the slope,
confident that his legs would save
him from anything but bullets, for
there were was not an Algonquin
