a theory prevalent among naval
officers is that there was submarine
upheayal at the time of the recent
earthquake which destroyed Iquique.
The wrecked ship was sailing on her
regular course, and as already stated,
Captain Waddell had frequently sailed
over the spot where she struck. The
captain had made up his log early in
the day, so that there could have been
no possibility of a mistake about his
position. 1t was a perfectly bright and
clear day. The captain and officers of
the gunboat Mexico, Of the United
States steamer Lackawanna and of the
Costa RIGA and others, have carefully
scrutinized Capt. Waddell's obserya-
tons, and are unanimous in their judy
ment upon the point that the comman-
der of the wrecked vessel was using the
utmost care and that human intelli-
gence could not have averted the dis
aster.
Referring to the late earthquake the
observations taken May 10 by officers
of the Lackawanna at Acapulco are
interesting. The following is an ex-
tract:
Thursday, 10th, from A. NJ. to
meridian. About 10o'clock an unusual
and rapid rise of the water in the harbor
occurred. The beach was entirely
submerged, the water advancing for
some distance into the streets of the
town. This phenomena was followed by
four similar tidal waves at intervals OF
about fifteen minutes between each,
the water rising and falling in each case
three feet, excepting the final one, the
rise and fall of which was two feet six

THE MORMON CHURCH.

New York, Sept. ia special
from Salt Lake says the Twelve
Apostles yesterday issued an epistle
to the Mormons claiming to have
received Il revelation from God on
the 4th inst, directing them to pres
idle overthe Church, without electing
a new prophet.
The PRONUNCIATION of the extraor-
binary doctrine created great excite
ment among the Mormons and dis
gust among the gentiles, who are
too we'll aware OF past acts Of seve-
raj Of the Twelve, not to believe that
the Almighty had but a small part
in the matter. This revelation goes
far beyond anything Joe Smith ever
dreamed of, and is equaled only by
the disgusting bulletins which Brig
ham sent forth from time to time.
The Apostle Taylor is acknowled.
ged to be president by a quorum OF
the governing body. The epistle de-
claring this doctrine is very lengthy
and is signed by all the apostles,
who c}inch their claim by quoting
from a sermon delivered at Nauvoo
long ago by Brigham. They quote
the fact that Joe Smith conferred
upon the twelve apostles all the
keys aud powers belonging to the
apostles, which he himself held be-
fore lie was taken away, and declare
that no man can get between Joseph
Smith and the twelve apostles,
either in this world or the world to
come.
They waited upon the Lord, who
blessed and revealed to them the
future course they should pursue.
According 70 hundreds 81 dispatches
sent oil yesterday, it il evident til II

OUR PARISH.

The people Of u parish, white
and colored, are presently and prop
erly attending to the labors OF the
field.
Loafers, lazy bones and polite
ians ale very scarce amongst us.
And We do not complaip of it.
Every one now understands the
necessity of laboring, of living by
work, of performing his duties of
man.
For, if you don't work for your
selves and for your families, who
will work for you? Labor is not
only a duty imposed upon each Of
us, but also the proper and regular
way OF becoming free according to
the true sense of the word. There
is no real liberty for those who pos
sess nothing and do nothing. But
labor is silver, and economy is gold.
The proof of that simple truth is
before the eyes of those who open
them. White or colored, as you
can see, we have become rich, or
poor, ever gone from
richness to poverty, by following or
neglecting the great law of labor
and economy.
The4 we work.
And for the present, in site of
the burning sun, we are harvesting
our rice, that will be plentiful and
rcnumerative.
AS to the cane crop, the prospect
is encouraging. The earth, thirsty
and dry, has been at last favored
by an abundant and generous rain.
