TILE uNMIsE MORMON.

The Mormons of Salt Lake City are be-
coming defiant of late. They should re-
lent; too much defiance isunhealthy. 1t
is very certain at least that their peculiar
ideas as to the observance of the glorious
Fourth do not find much congenial soil in
this country nor yield palatable fruit.
They proposed to celebrate last Satur-
day by hanging The stars and stripes at
half-mast. But committee of citizens,
among whom were ex-Coniederate and eX-
Union soldiers saw to it that the National
emblem swung proudly from the very tops
of the poles The Mormons should know
that when they attempt to interfere with
the stars and stripes and the other Fourth
of July prerogatives Of the American
citizen, they are getting into the immedi-
ate, and, possibly, uncomfortable vicinity
of where the aforesaid Amencan citizen
resides

Was not General Gordon religious
fanatic? This is a question that forces
itself upon the mind of every one who
reads the diary he kept at Khartoum, and
il is an opinion which prevailed among
many who knew the man.
A Washington lady, who is quite
European traveller, was informed, when
last abroad, and from an entirely reliable
Source that on the occasion of Gordon's
going TO Egypt, he took passage by a large
steamer Which makes monthly trips from
Venice to Alexandria, and those of his
fellow-passengers who cared to speak at
all Of him, were unanimous in pronounce
ing his language and conduct 50 singular
as to be extraordinary.
at times he was violent, often profano,
and after these "ebullitions of nerve" az
one lady charitably expressed it, he would
rush OIL to his state-roOm, take his Bible,
read diligently, and pray loud and long,
His manner was often alarming, 50 much
so, that gentleman on board prepared q
written account of il and sent ii for private
Iorusal to Mr.. Gladstone, feeling morally
bound to do 50, as he knew that many
valuable lives were to be entrusted 10 the
leadership Of man whose actions be-
tokened an unbalanced mind.
Gordon, however, was the popular hero
Of the day in England, and at that time it
was rank treason 10 utter disparaging
word about him. Unfortunately, to sHs-
tain his erratie theories had become a
political necessity in the judgment of some
OF Englands leaders. He had excited n
strange enthusiasm; he believed himself
gifted as We're the prophets and heroes of
old, and quoted constantly the scripnsral
warnings and portentous denunciations

a Dangerous Affinity.

a cablcgram to the New York Herald
from Madrid says that "choera germs
show decided affinity for human lips;
therefore fruit from infected districts is
dangerous. The orange especially, or any
fruit which, like it, is washed with water
before shipment, is very likely to transmit
patient and afterward accidentally To
touch ones own lips with the same hand
would probably cause cholera to the per-
son 50 doing The epidemic attacks no

Affected Him.
Mr.. Felix Brannigan, one of the assist

is in receipt Of the following letter from
Minister Cox, dated "NIid-ocean, 1000
miles due east of New York, June 25,
p. m."
DEAR Friend: Before this reaches you, you
will have heard of our disaster and delay. We
are running with no rudder, owing to a broken
shaft, and have been tunbling IN wild sea
since Tuesday. The shaft broke right under
our feet with terrific shudder as if we had
struck hidden rock or iceberg, or whale or
devil-fsh of ofmonstrous proportivnS. We shortly
afterwards saw a sailing vessel and raised our
signals of distress, but It was no good. All
she could do was to take the news of our
trouble to the continent. Then we sighted a
we could not get the connection for towing
The cables snapped and the small vessel was
so injured that she cut the second rope and
ran. Then we tossed all night in a rough sea,
Mrs. Cox standing IL well, considering. To-day
we sighted nice little Scotch steamer Ell
route TO Seville with tobacco. she made the
hitch and is pulling us now under u better sea,
but at our rate we will not make Ireland for II
MONTH We may be rescued, and we may
amend our machinery and so get along better;
on they may send out for us to be taken in by

you this because may have chanco TO send

new man--had to be or quit. We are on short

which they uttered TO doomed people.
He entertained also the gloomiest of Cal
whistle tcncts, that God was all-vengeful,
and that certain Of his creatures were born
to be ctcrnaly damned, both i'm this world
and the world to come. He believed he
had q mission and was led and guided to
it by a supernatural power; but whenever
questioned closely could give no coherent
reason for his faith, nor state what ulti-
mate result he expected to achieve by his
military expedition. lie invariably spoke
of it in q hopeless way.
Everything he said and did was illog-
ical and contradictory; he put no more
value upon human life than the crazy
dorvish who prostrates himself under the
hoofs of company of horsemen to be
mangled and trampled to death.
il was the bravery of an irresponsible
mind, and on Egypt's scorching sands the
bones of Englands sons lie glstening in
the noon-day sun, ghastly condemna-
ton of the wanton leadership of fanatic,
while the countless barbarans of the Sou
dan are more brutalizcd than ever and
encouraged to new defiance by the inn
potency of the enlightened white invader.
Gordon, in his religious fanatcism, was
not unlike Guiteau and many of the cx-
prcssions to he found in his journal are
evidences of characteristics of mind re-
markably similar to those of President
Gariields $ assassin.

MIR. CLEVELAND AND rAMMANy.

Tammany Hall is anxious that the
President should give to the country such
an administration as will insure "a har-
monious party united in Jcllcrsonian
Democracy The President, in reply,
ventures the opinion that this result will
follow if the Administration so conducts
itself as to merit the intelligent approval
of the people. Mr. Cleveland and Tam
many are not so very apart on this point,
though theaverage politician would prefer
~ somewhat palmer and more uncondi-
tional statement of the proposition.
The old-time Democratic idea was that
the welfare of the country depended upon
the success of the Democratic party.
There were no Ifs nor ands about this,
and, of course, the welfare of the Demo-
cratic party depended upon having ex-
elusive control of the Governments 5
patronage. The Republican party bore q
striking resemblance to the Democratic
party in the same respect. 1t not only
wanted all the patronage, but it got it,
and it not only got it when it was in power,
but wants to keep it now that it is out of
power
What Tammany means is that the Presi
dents first object should be to take care OF
the Democratic party. The Democrats be-
ing in power, it follows, rs a political
sequence that the country will take care
of itself. The President holds that his
first business is to take care of the coun-
try, and this being done to the satisfaction
of the people, the party will need no other
taking care of. In other words, the JEFF
fersonian Democracy will of necessity and
harmoniously cohere.
1t is a very pretty interchange of theo-
retical civilities, but the old-fashioned
.Jacxsonian Democrat who undertakes to
make n square meal out of it will find
himself about as hungry as ever when he
gets through

IT appears that the Spanish ministry
did not object to King Alfonso's visiting
the cholera districts through fear that he
might become one of its victims, but be-
cause they hold that he had no right to
resolve upon any such course without
first consulting them. The proposed visit
in other words was unconstitutional.
This lets the young man out easy.

THE Fourth OF July is marching on, 1t
was celebrated in many foreign cities by
the natives as well as by the expansive
American. That dinner in London, where
lords and baronets sat down with Ameri-
cans, and, after eating, joined heartily in
the distinct degree of spread-eagle which
followed, was unique, taking all things
into consideration. But, if we may be al
lowed to say it, We think that Bingen-
fair Bingen- -on-the Rhine is entitled to the
Fourth of July cake,
There are a lot of New York rillemen
there, and in their honor all the houses
were decorated with American and Ger
man flags. Even the feudal castles on the
classic Rhine kept brilliant watch. The
Examinations were grand. And n few
messages from Kaiser William came. 1t
must be noted, too, that the Bingen cele-
bration began Friday night. There was
a visit Oh that night to the wine cellars
where twelve huge casks of Johannsber-
ger and Rudcsheimer were consumed. 1t
would have done Prince BismarCk's gout
no good to have been there.
