BRIGHAM YOUNG AND MOKMONISM

lne recent death OF Brigham Young,
the prominent ruler of all MormOndom,
has been widely noticed as closing the
strange career OF very remirkablc
man. Regarding him simply as an ad-
yenturer, no man OF modern times has
run SO wonderful career. Though MOI
gifted with any talent Of eloquence, and
making no pretension to any more than
the most common education, poor and
uufrieuded III the outset Of life, he has,
nevertheless, IN ,de such u mark in the
world as TO render his name historic.
In view of the many slmIarities be-
tween his singular career and the pecu-
lar religion he founded and maintained,
anu that of the renowned Arabian I'M
postor, Brigham Young has not lnaptly
been denominateu the "Mahomet OF
America"
The formation of new sects in religion
has never been matter OF much dltl-
Guilty nor OF much wonder. Bur, here

religious faith has come to present The
most grotesque features of ancient dog
mas, some Of them even as old as the
worship Of Isis in the temples Of Egypt,
when the Pnaraohs were, like Brigham
Young, the Chiel Priests and Rulers ol
tuose children of Ham. 1t is, therefore,
remarkable that this sect oil MormoHs
over which Young so long ruled as

ESCAPED from Tho stnuon.Mouse.


Last Saturday night about n o'clock
an escaped peniteLtiary negro convict
named John Clark, alias Sam Mullins,
succeeded 10 breaking out Of his cell
and escaping from the Adams street
station.house in the most approved Jack
Sheppard manner. BE was confined in
the iron cell or cage, which is enclosed
by another cell, the front part of the
latter being iron bars and an iron door.
The convict had a watch spring saw or
knife blade made into a saw with which
he cleverly cut through a bar Of iron an
inch in diameter. Then pulling out the
iron bar with it he priced out the lower
portion of the iron door Of the outer cell
and crawled through. When he got out
into the jail-yard with the iron bar he
punched out the brick beneath the door
which leads into the alley west of the
station-bouse, and crawling through a
hole barely large enough to admit his
body be got into the alley and escaped.
II was good professional work, and was
managed SO adroitly that the officers on
watch did not detect him and did not
discover his escape for ONE time after
ward. Clark had been arrested several
days before, and should have been sent
at once to the county Jail for safe keep
ing, he being an escaped convict and
State prisoner.
