More Mormon Troubles.

Whatever credence may be given to
particular rumors from Utah, says the
New York Tribune, it is sufficiently GER
tain that in various parts of that terri
tory an uneasy feeling is existing among
the Mormons, which. Brigham Young is
doing nothing to allay. Indeed, his
public utterances, if they are correctly
represented, are anything but pacific.
He is said to be preaching a crusade,
which the Gentiles of the territory natu-
rally regard as preached against them
selves. OF course, compared with Nor
mon population, they are a mere
handful, and they may well indulge in
some apprehension of violence. In Salt
Lake Cityespecially they are greatly out,
numbered. We are further informed
that the military preparations of the
Mormons are considerable; that drilling
is going on continually, and that arms
have been shipped in great numbers from
the east.
Brigham Young and his more unscrup-
ulous devotees are doubtless laboring
under great apprehension. The vigor
displayed in the trial and execution of
Lee has proved conclusively that the
temporal power in Utah is no longer in
the hands of the Latter Day Saints. We
do not know precisely what they may
have to fear, but their record, as they
know better than anybody else can, is
quite enough to make them anxious.
Their power and authority, once so great
and almost unquestioned, are gone.
Assassination will not help them, while
they are no longer, as they ice were,
defended by distance and great deserts
from the weight of the governments
hand. 1t is hard to see what they can
hope ultimately to accomplish by a COM
plete defiance of the federal power, or by
a resort to the madness of massacre. But
there is an unreasonable because it is a
ianatical element in the Mormon popu-
latisn, which has not been sufficiently
taken into account. 1t is just possible
that Young himself may have been made
reckless by a term so prolonged of ire
sponsible authority. Greater men than
he have lost their heads under difficulties
comparatively less.
But whatever may be impending, we
may be sure that the beginning OF the
end is near. If the Mormon leader, cou-
tenting himself with a spiritual despot-
ism, shall finally yield obedience to the
laws, he may die quietly in his bed, and
his sect may peacefully disappear after
him. If he permits himself to be misled
int sanguinary acts which will be sheer
madness, he will be summarily and
sternly dealt with. His vanity may mis-
Iced him intn an exaggerated estimate of
his resources and OF his Local au vautsges
but to those who consider them with in
difference they do not eeem great enough
to be alarming. The United States
wants neither the will nor the power to
deal strictly and summarily with the
Mormon strength, such as it is; and we
believe hat it will do so.

A Singular Fact.

A recent traveller in Mexico, who Wis
tied the mines there during his journeys,
saws he was much astonished at seeing
the men who carry the ore come out Of
the mine each with one eye shut. The
foreman, seeing his surprise, explained
the matter. He said the candles belong
ing to the tarateros (who drill and blast),
do not give sufficient light in the drifts,
where it is consequently quite dark, but
where, nevertheless, the tarateros see
we'll enough not to run their heads
against the rocks. But on emerging into
daylight they would be blinded did they
not take precautionary measures. For
this reason, as they approach the mouth
the shaft at the point where they catch
the first glimpse of light. they drop the
eyelid of one eye, and keep this down
while discharging the ore, and until they
have re-descended the shaft. When
they are again in the dark, they open
the eye hitherto kept in reserve, and at
once they see everything distinctly
while the other eye, previously open and
blinded somewhat by the daylight, per-
ceives nothing at all.

justice and humanity prevail. In further,

Production


1t thus appears that the total area of
the discovered coal-fields of the world
exceeds 100000 square miles. In this
country and in British North America
there exists deposit of coal of extraordi-
nary magnitude. According to the re.
port of the coal commissioners published
in 1871, there were then 80, 207, 000, 900
tons of coal available in Great Britain,
at depths not greater than 1900 feet,
and in seams not less than one foot thick,
besides a quantity of concealed coal esti-
mated at Sc, 273, 900, 900 tons, making a
total of over 146, 100000, 900 tons. Since
that period there have been raised 6OO,-
000,0 600 tons up to the close of 1875.
The present annual rate of consumption
is nearly 1872, 900, 900 tons, and at this
rate the coal deposits of that country
will last over 1000 years.
