And at the sweet, caressing tenderness

A Mormon Massacre.

NAIIvILLE, Tenn, Aug. ll.-An
organization established by Mormon
elders, in Lewis and Hickman coun-
ties, this State, about three years ago
was broken up Oh Sunday by the
killing of all The elders by Il band o.
masked men. Mr.. Depricst, United
States mail carrier between Ivy Mills
and Cemtcryillc, Hickman
county, gives The following
account of the Massacre: {:
Three elders were holding meet
ing at Conder's farm, Cane Greek
Lewis county, Sunday morning,when
twelve masked men on horseback
rode UP to the house and ordered a
young man named Huston and young
Condcr TO surrender. They showed
fight, when one of the masked men
knocked Conder down, breaking his
skull. Huston fired at one of the
masked men, who fell dead, and was
afterwards found to be Dave llinson,
Il citizen of Hickman county, who
lived at Brushford, on Beaver Dam.
The masked men then shot and killed
two Of the Mormon elders. The third
elder ran toward the woods where the
firing was soon heard. The elder
not having been seen since, is sup
posed also to have been killed. 1t
has since been ascertaincd that the
masked men before going to Condcr's
house stopped at the house of a man
named Garrett, near Condcr's house,
found Mormon elder there, and left
two masked man in charge of this ell
der Shooting was heard there
shortly afterward and the elder has
not been seen since. When firing
commenced at Conder's house one OF
the elders hid behind Mrs. Conder
and in shooting at him Mrs. Conder
was wounded.

Soldier Blaine.

Blaine has been making patriotic
speeches up in Maine. He spoke ut
the Reunion of the Maine veterans
at Old Orchard, last Thursday, and
when we remember that Blaine sent
a thief as a substitute when his coun-
try called upon him to fight her bat
ties, his gushing patriotism is enough
to make horse laugh. Here is his
speech in full:
"Gentlemen of the Grand Army of
Maine.--I thank you for your kindly
and cordial greeting. The occasion
has been of greater pleasure to me III
the renewal ofold acquaintances and
recalling old scenes Of civil life than
to the date of your splendid deeds OF
war. My mind is carried back TO the
winter of 1861 to the excitement of the
election, and at the same time the

ous and critical era. j lvividly re-

on the eve Of the gigantic struggle

and President Lincoln issued a pro-
clamation for75,000, Maine was asked
for one regiment. And Gov. Wash

the Legislature. ] had the honor al
that time to be Speaker of the House
of Representatives. Patriotism was
tervid, confidence was strong, and
we young members Of the Legislature
Il was but thirty-one years old my
self determined to do something very
bold, something that we ventured tC
hope would be rather appalling t
the Confederate Government. In
stead of responding with one regi
ment for which the President haC
asked, we authorized the Governo
to offer ten regiments to the Nationa
Government, and though entirely
unused to State debt, we EN-
powered the Governor to borrow
