AN Associated Press dispatch from Salt Lake City, of the 2nd inst. says: Edward Brain was con- victed of unlawful cohabitation to- day. His latest wife, Danish girl, testified freely about their marital relations. Brain made a long state ment to the court, maintaining the truth of the Mormon gospel, and said he knew it by direct revelation from God to himself. His coven- ants were made for eternity, and he would stand by them at all haz- ards. Judge Zane sentenced him to six months in jail and $500 fine."

THE preparation for the final work of blowing up the rocky chan nel in He'll Gate, which was begun by Engineer Newton, is rapidly nearing completion. and it promis- es to be an event of no slight mag .nitude. The tunneling is already completed and the laying of the cartridges is now going on. It will require two hundred and forty thousand pounds of rockarock ex- plosive, which is far more powerful than giant powder, and seventy-fve thousand pounds of dynamite to perform the operation. The pre- else time for the great upheaval has not yet been fxed.-Ex.

We see 1t stated in the Orion Era of the 90th of September, ultimo, that its editor, J, B, Milner, by an unexpected turn in personal busi- ness affairs is required to be in Utah during the greater part of October. In this connection Broth CT Milner says; "It may gratify the curious to state that the money we sent for, which we need to continue our business has not come, and that some cases in court need our per sonal attention"
 It is fondly hoped by gentle and Mormon; more particularly by all men, resident in this county, who only claim to be law abiding Amer ican citizens, that the editor of the organ of J. B. Milner, will make time during his absence from the editorial chair, to call on Bishop Sharp, of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and interview him on the subject that is now agitating the minds of the false prophets, the high priests and elders, the apostles and dignitaries of that presumptuous and domi- neering outfit. Learn from him, from his own mouth, the leading inspiration that converted him from being a blind follower of the teachings of bad men, to that of law abiding citizens of the United States. It is hoped that he will come home and grind it out on his own organ. The music will be new to his readers, and its beneficial ef- fects will be at once observed, if Brother Milner will give it place with his usual warmth, and "some ability"

 In the last issue of the Orion Era Brother Milner, in announcing his temporary absence from the editor ial chair says: we hope the paper will be issued regularly during our absence and bespeak for J. w. s. Milner, son of the editor, who will take charge, the kindly considera- tion of our patrons" Now we second the motion, particularly as the father of that son has caught the Deseret News in notable errors and has had the genuine pluck 1; the iron spinal column to say so to the brass teeth of that powerful or gan of the apostles of the church ]; has dared to say so to Penrose's second hand wind instrument. Hallelujah! The world moves all the same. Notable errors" is draw ing it mild, but we can't expect a heavy brush on the first round. When Brother Milner gets his hand in MT. Penrose's journeymen will be brought to think there is a jour- nalistic John L. Sullivan housed in the Era rooms. We shall watch the fight with interest and when the Era gets the bruiser, as it will, in chancery, we shall not be satis- fled until his punishment shall leave him unacceptable even to the fil- thiest polygamist patron in the city of the Saints" Brother Milner need have no fear of his boy, if he follows Gin the footsteps of his it. lustrious predecessor. Every anti polygamic Mormon, every gentle, every Jew will hold and save him harmless from the destroying an- gels" and if the "danites" hold mass-meetings and gather together for unlawful purposes, looking to the injury of his son, let them be admonished by the head lines which serves as text for this article nuf ced.

A STORM was raging on one of the inland lakes, and several persons from a wrecked vessel were making for the shore in small boat.

 THE FAIR, as noted in the Orion
 Era, came very nearly escaping our
 attention, It appears that Brother
 Milner was beclouded in the same ignorance that the Committee of
 the Fair were. He did not know,
 from any reliable authority, that a
 fair was to be held in Albuquerque,
 and hence would not give it any
 free advertising. They, the Com
 mittee, did not know there was any such paper in Apache county, Ari-
 zona, as the Orion Era, and did not waste any time in sending official notification by mail, to something they knew nothing of. No one is to blame but the business man of the Era. The HERALD learned from
 it's Albuquerque exchanges that a fair was to be held, and immediate ly placed itself in communication with the Executive Committee, and kept posted. No one responsible except the HERALD. Now, Bro. Milner, if that was all the griev- ance in the article, we should have left it unnoticed, but when we read the following lines interwoven, we had a strong temptation to take back all the good things we have said about you: "But being in no manner advised of what was de sired, except that an avowed enemy of the majority of the people was (so far as we could learn) the sole of the managers, we have simply attended to our own affairs"
 Brother Milner may be speaking by the record, when he says the Commissioner was an avowed ene- my of the majority of the people if so, it was his own record, not ours. We contend with all viola tors of law, and do all that in us abides to correct evils and put down crime. If that is the work of an enemy, then we misunder- stand the term. We look upon it as the highest and purest type of friendship. to turn polygamists and supporters of polygamy from he error of their ways. We do not avow ourselves the enemy of any man, and we think the editor of the Era wrote the item when he felt 1urt at his non-recognition, of which he was only to blame,

How to Escape.

oiSiOP OOhh 0iAeAA Pf c %AtOhAOCA VI the Mormon church, for nearly all the years it has been established !; one that had accepted its apostolic teachings in all their notifications, and had gathered unto himself many wives, and raised families collectively and in severalty; gen. orally doing a land office business in populating Zion, to the glory of the latter day saints, and the ap- plause ot the ignorant masses that followed in the wake of the evan gelistic frauds, has become con- vert to american ideas of citizen ship, by declaring himself law abiding man. The Bishop seems to be a man of more than ordinary thought, among his people, and like our Brother Milner, of "some ability" The craze just now among the upper crust polygamous Nor mons, who are not entirely given over to the devil and his angels, is, Chow shall we eseape?" The plu- ral wife, and unlawful cohabitation codes are drawing its victims to the prison.houses, at Yuma and Detroit, with certainty, celerity and security" The violators of laws, divine and human, feel the suffocat- ing, liberty destroying influences of the near future and tremblingly re- iterate the cry, "how shall we es. capel"
 We will suggest, nor charge any thing for the advice, that the plan of Bishop Sharp is one that is high ly recommended. Come up square ly and meet the question, confess your crime, acknowledge your alle- glance to your country's laws, cease to violate it's reasonable re- quirements, do not longer charge the Almighty, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, with your ire lgious crimes that serve only to debase yourselves and condemn your sisters to debasement and | prostitution. Do not set up a howl | with fanatics, of the Robt Ford char acter, and yell that covenants even with devils should be kept invio- late, Be men and women, free and ready to adopt the golden rule as your aim in life-"as ye would have men do unto you, do ye even so to them," that is about all there is in it. Avoid cant and hypocricy, and do not fool yourself that you are better than other people, neither allow other people to make you be- lieve that because of your oonnec- tion with any church or congrega- tion, you are the chosen of the Lord,

pitched at very high key. SO loud, in fact,
was her speaking that it was heard up the

lected at the store door, and on entering a
woman was found pale with anger and berat-
INK the meek and and innocent groceryman in
an excited manner. She showered upon him
all the disparsging epi,hets found in the
feminine vocabulary. On inquiry it was
learned that the woman had made a contract
with the dealer to sell him butter, to receive,
as she said, all cash i'll return. The pur-
chaser, however, declared that she was to
receive portion of her pay in goods. She
had just brought in a quantity of the product
of her dairy and the grocerymsn refused to
pay all in cash. After her burst of anger,
the lady wept.
