The Explosion Mt Almy

Amy had another explosion last
Saturday, but much less serious one
than that which took place six weeks
age This time the catastrophe occurred
IN 10. 8 mine, and was the result of an
az mutation of gas on the sixth level
There We're some forty men in the mine
when the explosion took place, and
strange to say, not life was lost, al
though James Moon, Archibald Buchan-
an ana James Downs were badly burned,
and Joseph Martin also received some
injuries. None OF the parties are thought
to be fatally hurt and altogether the re-
suits are looEadupon as providential.

THOUGHT HE WAS A MORMON.
LaughabIe Incident at the Palmer
House-A Mankato Mans Joke

HOuSe-A Nan lkatO MANS JOAe'
Yesterday morning, at ii O'Clock, a
man with sandy hair and complexion,
about forty years OF age, dressed In a
dark suit of clothes and wearing a fur
! cap of about three winters wear, marched
! into the rotunda of the Palmer House,
and, stepping up to the counter over
which Copeland Townsend, chief clerk,
was presiding, inscribed upon the regis
/ ter, &c. D.. Taylor, Mormon elder, two
wives" 81 would like one large room,
| if YOU can accommodate me-" he said.
/ Mr.. Townsend, with look of genuine
surprise on his face at the thought that a
real installment from Salt Lake City was
to be sheltered beneath the hospitable
roof of the Palmer, assigned him and his
attaches a suite OF rooms in No. 461.
After the party had deposited their bag
gage and chattels in their new quarters,
they went to do some shopping. Mean
while, Potter Palmer came IN, and, ON
learning of the new arrivals, said to Mr..
Towsend that they could not remain IN
the hotel an hour unless they took sepa-
rate and distinct rooms. They were ac-
cordingly assigned room APT and 435, and
the baggage was also changed. Guests
were meanwhile gazing at the register
and were standing aronnd to see he
whom they supposed was the true disci-
pie of Mormonism, Elder Taylor, and
especially his two wives. Mr.. Taylor,
however, did not return till late in the
afternoon, and he was at once brought
forth for an explanation, and was told
that his party could not remain unless
they took separate rooms. "Why," he
remarked, 81 only intended that for a
joke. One lady is my sister and the
other a lady friend of hers. We are from
Mankato, Mimi, and are going out on
the evening train" Mr.. Taylor soon
learned that the joke was only appreci-
ated by himself, and felt rather '.broken
up" over the affair, inasmuch Gas it re-
turned to plague the inventor" They
left on the 9 O'Clock train last evening

EXCOMMUNICATED BY REQUEST.
w. w. Days Explanation of His
Eecent Change of Heart.

The DEMOCRAT mentioned some tim,
} ago that Mr.. w. w. Day, who unit
quite recently was engaged as clerk anc
book-keeper at the Temple block, hat
sent request to the Mormon church tina
his name be erased from the membership
roll of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat.
ter-day Saints. The gentleman was
known to have recently had serious
bout with the Tthing Office officials, said
to have been occasioned by his insubor-
dination over the carrying out of certain
orders which were given without the cog
nizance OF John Sharp, Superintendent
OF Public Works. The orders apparently
pertalned to the discharge of several en-
ployes, among other things, and it has
been limited that Day was among those
who were thus discharged. At ali events
stormy meeting or two took place be-
tween himself and John @. Cannon. the
presiding genius at the Tithing office, and
at one time it was apprehended that
something more terrible than words
would ensue.
MIR. Day was interviewed by Demo-
Graf reporter Immediately after the
occurrence, but requested that nothing
be published concerning the affair until
he had obtained divorce in Judge Zane's
court from his polygamous wife, whom
ne had married within the past few
months. The reporter concluded that
there must be some other reason, as he
well knew that granting divorces in DO
lygamous marriages was a little out of
His Honor's Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Day makes lengthy statement in
this mornings Tribune setting forth his
reasons for renouncing his faith in Nor
monlsm, and in order to explain the mo-
tive that led him to abandon his very
remarkable action in going into polygamy
at this peculiar stage of things, he quotes
the following card which appeared in the
Times and Seasons, Nos. and 6, page
49, This announcement was dated Feb |
ruary LIST, 1874, and was published while |
President John Taylor was editor of that |
periodical. and just about five months
prior to the death of Joseph and Hyrum
Smith:
AS we have lately been credibly in
formed that an elder of the Church of Jesns
Christ of Latter-day Saints by the name of
hiram Brown has been preaching polyeamy
and other false and corrupt doctrines in the
county OF Lapeer, State of Michigan, this is
to notify him and the church in general that
ne has been cut off the church fo, his IN
EQUITY, and he is further notified to appear
at the general conference on the 9Th of
April next to make answer to these charges.
JOSEPH SMITH,
"HYRUM SMITH,
Presidents of said Church,
Mr.. Day has been looked upon for a
year or two as literally inclined, and it /
vas very much of a surprise when it was
earned that he had married plural
wife. Those who are we'll acquainted +,

1t is fact that the human mind needs
relaxation from the ordinary tasks i'm
posed by daily duties-that variety of eX-
perience is a necessity in the healthy
working Of even the most vigorous mind.
We have often seen men learned in pro-
fessions who seemed to be passiCnately
fond of the simplest games, and who
would hang upon friendly contest to
the extent of being accused of carelessly
wasting their time. But the moments
thus seemingly wasted are not always
spent in vain.
Few men, perhaps, got as little sleep as
Gen. George H. Thomas. We used to re-
gard him as sort Of night-owl in his
habits. Those who CHANGED to be located
near his tent when in the field. might see
him busy with his maps and papers, or
walking about on the outside of the tent,
frequently at midnight, and again at day
break in the morning. A man of Won
derfully robust Ggure, yet it used to seem
to us that the great frame must give way
under the great pressure brought to bear
upon it. While the brave old General
was directing the movements OF his
troops at Burnt Hickory Georgia,
racket, ran into the Generals tent, and
after the noise had to some extent ceased
the General caught the little animal,
charmed to see this little representative
of the peace and quiet of the home circle.
He contracted Il great fondness for the
little animal, and that spotted cat was the
Generals companion thereafter, going
through the Georgia Campaign to Allan
ia, thence back to Nashville, out on the
chase after Hood, and back again to
Nashville.
During the battle of Nashville we
were on duty at General Thomas head
quarters, and an evening or two before
the battle, even while all was excitement,
and hurry, and while the authorities at
Washington were urging the General to
go out and fight battle half planned,
and with half enough troops, it was dis
covered that the little pet was gone. I'M
mediately every clerk, orderly, and at
tache about headquarters was turned out,
with orders to search until the lost pet
was found, and, though the braye old
commander went right on, planning the
death-blow to Hoods army, his mind
would occasionally wander away from
the task before him, to the more peaceful
scenes of the home life, and when at last
Tommy was found near neighboring
stable and returned, the General seemed
as much pleased as a boy who receives
new pony. The great mind could en-
volve plan for destroying one of the
strongest and bravest armies on earth,
while fondling with pet cat. The mind,
if permitted to labor to its full capacity
along one line, soon becomes wearied,
and almost before any warning sign is
needed, will lose portion, or all, of its
power. The mind needs diversion, eXer-
else, rest Man cannot make a pack
horse of himself without breaking down
after a while.
