THE POLYGAMISTS SECURING MANY CONVERTS
IN THE SOUTHERN sTAEs.
A dispatch from Chattanooga, Tenn, dated
Saturday, says: Elder John Morgan, president
OF the Mormon church in the south, has received
information that thirty additional elders have
left Utah for this city, and would be distributed
throughout the south to propagate the doctrines
of the polygamOus church. There are now sixty
elders engaged In this work in the states Of
Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia.
Alabama and Mississippi. and with this Increase
they viii be prepared to redouble their efforts.
Elder Morgan states that MormOnism is making
more rapid progress in Tennessee than else
where IN the Union, and ascribes it chiefly to
the fact that the Tennessee legislature has
passed laws fosbidding the teachings of polyg-
amy ann in the boundaries OF Tennessee. He says
church, and the Mormon papers have an
extensive circulation throughout this section.
New converts are being made by scores and
the elders are working with renewed zeal He
says at no time in the history of the church
were they making such advances with SO great
success.

GERONIMO,S SMART TRICK.
He Runs the Gauntlet OF His Enemies.
and Departs I'm Triumph with His
Wives.

A telegram to the New York Sun from Tomb
stone, Arizona, October 9Th, says: The depre-
dations of the savages in this territory and New
Mexico have alarmed the whole try as 1t
never was alarmed before. The Indians are in
small parties and they move with such celebrity
that 1t has been found almost impossible to de-
tect or capture them. They are everywhere,

code of signals, and it would not be difficult for
them to advance In a hostile country by their
use. Once across the line Geronimo made for

tain retreat until the night was favorable, and
then moved slyly toward the reservation. He
had to pass the officers quarters on his way to
the place where it was agreed that the women
should be waiting, but he stole by unobserved,
and finding his wives, made off with them to
the mountains. The next day it was discov-
cred at the fort that two squaws had left dur
ing the night, and that Apaches had been near
the fort. but not until II week had elapsed was
it known that the women were Geronmo's
wives, and that that doughty brave himself had
been within the enclosure.
After gaining possession of the women Geron-
limo moved slowly toward the south, and, pre-
coded in this case as before by trusted spy, he
ran the pickets on the border and reached his
Mexican eyre in safety. His achievement is
regarded as one of the smartest tricks ever
played by a savage, and the skill with which it
was executed shows how difficult is to be the
task of subduing these raiders. They are re-
ported In all directions in parties of from three
to ten, but they move so rapidly, know the
country So well, and have SO many hiding
men to corner them. The troops which have
been on the trail for months are worn out with
exposure, hardship, and disgust at their inabil-
ity to find anything to fight.

He spreads his tables of greenest hlize,
And man Il cunning trap he lays,
The marble halls are smooth and white,
The den is blazing with Hoods oflight.
Behind the bar the spider stands;
There is not II wise man in the land,
But will lose his Wit and become II fool
If he Yields himself to the spiders rule.
There's not Il man so strong and brave,
But the spider will dig hint grave +:
There's not Il youth 50 noble and fair
But will learn to drink and gamble and swear.
In the spiders den. But, do not. pray,
Dare to dispute the spiders sway.
If you sweep the den with the laws strong

Perhaps YOU might make Il cleaner room.
But then men are fearful little afraid
In fact, on spiders to make a raid
'Twould stir mp excitement, and spiders mnst

Lying in wait for the souls of men.

Alcohol as "a Medicine.

The warning to patients is to be con-
stantly on guard against a physician. what
ever his school or reputation, who is in
cautious or frequent i'll prescribing alco-
holics. If you doubt our competency to
advise, read the following from Professor
Miller of the University of Edinburgh. a
physician and surgeon of the greatest
eminence, and not opposed to the use OF
alcohol as a medicine lohen necessary: AL
coholics are ordered, rightly or wrongly;
the effects are not watched; their use is
not stopped at the proper time; and the
first intimation of the blunder may be the
painful discovery that the man has become
a drunkard. would not be uncharitable
to my professional brethren, but | would
entreat them to consider this matter, well
satisfied. as | am, that many a case of
hopeless intemperance, especially among
the better classes, owes its origin to ILL
regulated medical administration Or the
evil may fall short of this, and in %illnstra-
ton. take another case. Suppose a medi-
cal man to order opium, to relieve pain or
procure sleep, in needful and urgent cir
cumstanees, and that he neglects either to
regulate its dose or to order its discontinue
ance when the necessity for its use has
ceased. The convalescent, improperly left
to himself, finds, first, that he must in
crease the dose to attain the ordinary effect
and, secondly. that after a time he can i'll
do without it. Ere ever he is aware, he
becomes an opium-eater-the victim of an
infirmity most difficult to cure. And so
with alcohol. Left without due control,
the dose is increased, and the habit be-
comes confirmed; the system refuses to
part willingly with its use; and the man,
besides being brought into a morbid state
of bodily frame, is in extreme moral danger
of intemperance." On this authority We
repeat the counsel: Have little to do with
a physician who is not at least as careful
in administering alcohol as he would be in
giving calomel or belladonna.
The suggestion of such cases to physi-
clans is to use alcohol only when nothing
else will do, or nothing else is obtainable
Eve do not presume to settle abstract medi-
cal questions), to use as little as possible,
to regulate time and quantity, to caution
patients against making it a beverage, or
taking it other than as a dose and under
all the conditions of mediciHe and 10 stop it
as soon rs possible.
For. verify, it is better 10 die sober than
TO live a d%runkard. and better to take. in
ali ordinary cases. a risk of being sick a
little longer than, for a day or a week, to
risk the formation of an alcohol habit

OUR LETTER BOX.

For THE MONITOR.
y. certain liquor dealer in this county,
who, by the way. is a Democrat. and who
asserted that lie could control Mr.. Whita-
ker after his election and get lin to vote
for his (liquor sellerS) interest, has made
a big mistake. The said dispenser of man
utactured liquor, reckoned without Mr..
Whitaker's consent. The writer of this.
being an honest Republican, naturally felt
indignant that such a charge should be
made against Mr.. Whitaker by a rum
seller. Mr.. Editor, if license is granted
in the future, for the protection OF wives
and children of inebriates, there should be
an inspector of all liquors sold. \ few
barrels of sweet spirits will make a stock
OF manufactured liquors to last tor two or
three years, viz gins, brandies. WHISTLES
and cordials of all kinds. The poor and
miserable victims of these deceptions, are
powerless to avert their final destruction.
while the rum-seller laughs and iibes at
the holocaust of his deluded customers.
Doubtless, the example presented is famil-
lar TO all thoughtfui readers. The Repub-
leans must be excused for their bitter feel
ings against those who used their utmost
endeayors to defeat their standard bearer
