THELoCAL SCANDAL.

stephen c. Brown, living near Luke's Hall, on Marina street, called upon Us thn morning and made the following statemen' which he desired us 10 publish
 He was married al San Bernardino on the 18th of March last to Miss Mlnnl rerresa Brown. and on the 2lst of tha' m nth started for Arizona with his wife, ar irving at Prescott cary in April.
 His are will be 2l years the i6;h Of neS' June. and hers l1 in October next. Sinc' his arrival in Prescott he has worked toi wages most of the time, and had provided tn,ply for his wife and treated her like s lady.
 On last Sunday evening he got job oi driving cattle for MT Coffee, the butcher, oi Gurley street, and started when the mool arose. to go to Kirkland Valley. A maI by the name of Stewart had been in th' habit of coming to his house, and he IS m formed that not more than twenty minutes after he left the house to go after the cattle Stewart came and took his wife away witt him, and the next day had her out riding making point of driving past the door Q the house of hiS-Brawn smother, Tn or der 10 tantalize that lady.
 About four o'clock yesterday, (Wcdnes day aflernoonl he, Brown, returned with th' cattle and found his wife gone. He alter wards saw her in buggy with Stewart rid ing about town and putting on airs. He un derstands they are keeping a fast house or the upper side of the Plaza.
 This statement he desires to make to th' people of Prescott. among whom he ha, come to live, in order that they may kno" just what there is in the scandal that ha' created no little talk about town.
 MT. Brown appears to be very mild man nered young man, and talks candidly anC philoSophically of the matter, giving II a his deliberate opinion that man who vii insinuate himself into the family of another for the purpose of capturing the heart ano turning the head of young and inexperi enced wife, with the ultimate purpose oi corrupting her morals and inducing hel into the ways of prostitute, IS unfit'o live and yet he says killing is too good for him therefore he makes no threats.
 His deductions from the facts as detailed by himself are eminently correct. lt there is an offenSe in the whole category of crime for which a man should be execrated, hated condemned and severely punished, II IS just the one of which Brown accuses Stewart. Ii there is any excuse for the woman II Is sim ply stiffness.

DEATH OF RvrGu'Nt YOUNG.

The President of the ,hurch of Jesus Christ, of Latter-day Sain:s. died at four o'cl'k Wedn esiay afternoon, Aug. 29th, 1877, aged e years.
 Brigham Young was born in the State of Vermont in 1901, and in early manhood was & Methodist preacher.
 Coming West to the State of New York about the time of the reputed finding Of the plates containing the Book of Mormon, by Joe Smith, in ls27, Young became convert to the truth of Smiths pretentions, ana at tached himself to his fortunes.
 At kirtland. Ohio, in 1880, the Mormon Church first took the form of an organized society. and Brigham took n leading part. as also at Far West, Mo, in lS3l-2 and Nauvoo, Illinois, iu lS40.
 In lS44 Joseph Smith and his brother. Hiram, while in prison at Warsaw. III. on 8 charge of treason, were shot and killed by an infuriated mob anu Brigham Young was chosen Seer.
 In lS45, the Mormans being harrassed by their neighboTs. after having suffered much persecution. and being driven from place to place since 1888, took their departure from Nsusoo under the leadership of Young.
 Great Salt Lake was chosen flor an ever lasting abode" They took possession of the promised land on the 9th of July, lS47.
 In 1850 the Territory of | tah was organ ized, and Brigham Young orpoilted first Governor.
 From the death of Smith, in iS44. to the present time, Brigham Ioungs word has been law among the Saints. and under lis teachings and prophitic direction they have built up Zion and literally caused "the wilderness to blossom as a rose. Under the same direction they have put in practice the abominabe doctrine oi polycamy, which is really the plague spot ef their history, though it has been pretty clearly shown in the Lee and other trials that Brigham was not only cognlzant of many crimes, but actually ordered the com n,ission of some very heinOus ones. In some -esnects he was q most remarkable man lacking in education. he yet possessed a fund of biblical information that few men have acquired; his executive ability was of a hirh order, which enabled him to manage his people, maintain a discipline and exact .n obedience much resembling the relation between master and slave.
 It is too early to speculate as 10 who hlS .u .cessor will be, or the effect of his death unon .be Church. but they have many men oF ,,la,,, .uong them. some ot whom arc con. of ,b. P,,aphet. of whom he Is said to have had about ny. and leader will be easily found, though he .Nay nor De aol, |" command the unity of action mat Has 'i'"S far held them together.

New Cure for Women.

The Louisville Medical News gives the experience of Dr. Weir Mitchell of Mary land in curing m invalid. She was wo- man pallid, and feeble and exhausted al tine age of thirty, the type of class. Every thing worried her-to walk, tO read. to drive. to sew. She was a woman with a back, and shawl on her shoulders. and sofa for a home, and Mysteries for diversion. She had tired out the doctors and exhausted the drug shops, and seas, and travel, and out lived a nurse or two; and she wore blue glasses to keep out the blessings of daylight. She weighed ninty four pounds, and had as much figure as hat-rack. Because everything else tired her the doctor put her to rest in bed. and made rest absolute, not even permitting her to feed herself. She was fed with milk at brief intervals, but this produced disturbance of her digestive organs. The Doctor began to knead his patent. as if he was making sponge for bread, and he filled her with electricity. The con-
 sequrnce was. as he said, rha; her appetite and digestion returned. Her nails became pink. ard the veins in her limbs began to show. She recovered After numerous do- sas of the rev light sine went home fat and we'll vigorous and handsome. II seems that this result awakened the interest of Dame Nature. for she gave the woman baby as a compensation for her lost mysteries. As this patient was type of a class. women will do we'll in future to call upon their physicians for the prompt administration of ihe new cure The Doctor should, himself, be possessed of goodly share of muscular power to properly administer this treatment.

THE COMMUNIST PROPOSITION.

1 \ paper called Labor" the profeSsed or
 gan oi the workingmen of New York, pub fishes the draft of bill called the Work ingmen's Last Remedy,n which gives an ! idea of what the communists aim at. IT
 provides that after the year 1900 there shall
 be 10 private ownership of lands or mines. All are to be free, and the population to be
 entitled to pro rata share of them, or ten
 acres t9 person. This lela.es ,o iands out side of towns and cities In towns and cities no person IS to own CT occupy more
 than one lot 90 feet by 100 for residence, and even this lot Is not to be owned in fee
 There is to be no such thing as ownership ot real estate. A person may hold one l1 Tn town or in acres in ihe Country AS long as he uses it, but when he fails or neglects to occupy il for two years, 1t is to revert to the stato and be awarded to some one else. Each caunty Is to have board nf thirteen free iand agents who are not owners of land or mines, and who are to be chosen by laDdless residents; their duties being to ap- portion lands and mining privileges as fast as they become forfeited by non-use of the holders
 When the general forfeiture of lands and mines takes place in the year 300, the for mcr ogner is to be alloWeithe iust privilege for himself, and after that all tIc rest is to be open to all persons who may chose jo take up and occupy il. in similar tracts. There being no individual ownership of real es- tate, there will be no sales of il; an occu- pant will not even have the right of selling his possession, and if he moves off his tract, or fails tn use it for two wears, 1t forfeits to the free land agents of the country, and is to be given to some one else. There is to be no ejectment for debt and no mortgages taxes are to be assessed on lands m propor tion with the productions made thereon and the ,aub.a sala. ar tho improvements Lands uow held Iy owners ia ry 1e taxed

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

Several engagements have taken place du- ring the last few days between the Russians and Turks, but nothing of a magnltudinous nature has resulted therefrom; still, when we consider that ihe two great armies are face to face and within striking distance of each other, it is surprising that the news from the seat of war should he sn meagre It is confidently believed. however. thata great battle cannot lorg be delayed. one that will surpaSS anything in magnitude since the downfall of Jerusalem. A battle cannot be long delayed. for the Russlan' cannot afford to remain inactive after their recent reveIses and tho Ottoman forces are burning with anxiety to meet the invaders and drench the soil of Turkey with their blood and defend their territory stubbornly. The Greeks are flushed with their victories and are enthusiastic in favor of war, even if it be fought to their financial ruin. Nolun- teers are fiocking to Athens from all sec ;ions and taking their places in the rank and file of the army. The Russians are in no sense of the word idle. They have pre.sed all available resources. Men of all soes are reauirel to shoulder musket and face hunger, malaria and the enemy m Fur key. and ii is evident that not one out of every three will live to return 10 their na- rive land. The Imperial Guard from St. Petersburg has been ordered to the seat of war. which looks as thoggh the Russian re- sources were somewhat sttained, and it would not surprise Us to hear that Russia was ready to make peace on almost any seruls after the next great battle shall have ieen fought.

Father Gallagher, of San Francisco, is said to be circulating petition, to be pre- scented to the next Legislature, asking for division of the School Fund between the different religious sects.

Father Gallagher has 6 rigilI to circulate a petition, and people, from whatever motive actuated, have right in law, to sign il. but the people of the State and their representatives in the Legislature are not yet ready 10 sacrifice the interests of the rising generation for all time to come, to gratify tii::e ambition of Father Gallagher in the interest of tpriesIcraft.

Josephs band of renegade Nez Perces seems to have turned to the eastward and actually gone to the Yellowstone country, where he is committing depreGaiioas and killing inoffensive settlers. Joseph, how ever, is not the absolute fend that wild Piute or Apache would be in his position. as witness his sparing the women and children on one occasion at Camas Prairie and again, as the dispatches state to-day, he has TO, leased woman and man whom he had taken prisoners. This is so unlike Pinte and ApacRe warfare that it seems almost too humane for belief.
 Joseph, however, isa willy chieftain, a man of shrewdness, and with the advantage of a thorough knowledge of every inch of the ground will be hard to catch with the limited number of troops that can be spared to 20 after him.
