A Salt Lake dispatch TO the Now

Joseph +. Smith, in the salt Lake tab
ernacle, yesterday afternoon, delivered
! furious speech, which has greatly
added to the popular excitement. lie
said the Mormons had met their enc
mics with their own weapon, the Bible,
and defeated them every time. Our
enemies, not content with defeat, have
persccuted and maliRned us and driven
us from our settlements IN Missouri
and Illinois for no cause whatever. BY
these ahominable acts these people
have been subjected to hnrdships almost
unparalleled. The speaker enlarged
upon the part he had borne in these
prosecutions, and said he did not want
to see such terrible cruelties repeated.
We have been turning the "other
cheek" long enough, and il il now
about time To change our policy. We
have been foully misrepresented and
spit upon. We have suffered the pres-
ence Of that damnable sheet among us,
which would not be borne in any other
community. We have submitted 70 It's
abuse and misrepresentation long
enough. and now i must be stopped.
| This WAS greeted with amen" from
the whole congregation. The apostle
then advised his hearers 70 procure ef-
fective firearms, aud not delay in do
ing il.
In the Fourteenth ward meeting
house the same evening the speakers
the hearers to secure
arms, and to sell their clothing il they
had not money 10 purchase them.
In the Thirteenth Ward Major Little
severely reproyed one speaker for in
dulging in the same incendlary strain,
saying there was already too much ex-
element prevailing for public safety.

A Trunk E>plodes in n Depot.

A singular explosion occurred at the
depot of the Boston and Providence
railroad mt o'clock yesterday after
noon, and the escape from fatal results
To two human lives was almost miracu-
lous. John Coles, II transit express
messenger, called for u trunk at tho in
ward haggage-room, Presenting the
check, the baggage master showed him
the trunk, and Coles took hold OF il 10y
the handle, and was in he act ot drag
ging II To his wagon when an explosion,
which resembled the discharge of u
cannon, took place, rovcrbcrating
through the farmhouse and causing u
momentary panic among the passen-
gers. Coles was blown into the mir n
distance of twenty feet, and alighted on
terra tirma with only the strap of the
trunk IN his hand. A little boy who
was passing ut the time was blown
aorosa tho street, being picked up IN
sensible, A crowd OF people soon
gathered, and investigation showed that
there was nothing but small pieces left
of the trunk, which had been filled
with gunpowder, shot, cartridges and
other sporting materials, including u
double barroled shotgun valued Mt
5000. The cause Of the explosion Is
supposed TO he the ignition Of the
powder or the discharge of cartridge
Coles had his eyebrows burned oil and
face blackened, but otherwise escaped
injury. The boy recovered conscious
ness, and was found not obc injured.
1t is impossible TO ascertain 20 whom
the trunk belongs, ~ there is not any
thing left to identify the owner, but un.
doubleday this publication or the de-
lay in the arrival of his trunk will
cause him TO make himself known. A
valise near the trunk was blown to
pieces; the shotgun fell TO tho ground,
but is rendered valucless. The general
impression 1T the first sound Of the nc.
cident was that II locomotive had burst.

overtake her. but the little broncho
which he best rode was no match for his
own favorite steed. The elk started for
the mouth of a canon, about a mile
distant, through which it could reach
the higher mountains. We felt greatly
alarmed for Miss Foreman's safety, be-
lieving that in the excitement Of the
chase her horse had become unmauage.
able, until she was seen to fire the re-
volyer nj the elk, and then We knew
four shots were fired, and yet the speed
of the elk was not lesSened, but, At the
fifth shot, it was observed TO waver,
stagger, and in moment fall heavily
to the ground. Then Miss Foreman
was seen to halt and fire another shot
INTO the animal rs it lay struggling near
the horses feet.
We hitched up wagon and drove TO
the scene, where we found Adams sit
ting upon the body Of the fallen mon
arch of the mountains, while Miss
Foreman, flushed and triumphant,
stood near. When we praised her
darling, Adams said: These Iowa girls
are business every time. I'm from
Iowa myself, and | know few OF EN- !;
but she can't pack off all the praise
for there amt another horse in the
mountains could have Rugged up to
that elk like Billy did; ell, old boy ?"
And he caressed the noble animal in II
most aitectionate manner. We had no
facilities for weighing the animal, but
