THE MORMON BATTALION.
The Reader Has Doubtless Read OF
It, but This is Different.

it is always midsummer and more 100,
where coal dealers do no business al
though most of them who are no,
already there are on the way, and
where all arrivals remain until their
sins are stewed out of them, lives an
industrious, enterprising and well ad-
YER sed fellow named Lucifer. He
has no Christian name. He does an
immense business in all parts OF the
world, always by personal direction
but generally through agents. That
these are usually satisfactory is evid-
enced in the fact that none are ever
removed for cause; sometimes, tho,
their work fails to meet with approx
al at headquarters, not because 1t IS
not done according to design but for
the reason that it is too we'll done
that is, it goes so much further in the
way the chief wants it to go and is
so much more complete than he could
do it himself that he belches forth
sulphurous flame and sheds scalding
tears in unusual volume because of
pure envy. He doesn't want his
work overdone; indeed, there is no
occasion. The nature of his bust
ness is the garnering of souls, in the
prosecution of which enterprise he
is not at all invidous or particular,
all kinds being acceptable and the
market never being overstocked, al
though he invariably has an abund-
ance; in fact, as he himself is said to
have expressed it, he always has souls
to burn.
Among his prime ministers in this
habitation none stands more highly
in satanic favor-except when slop-
ping over as suggested, which this
class often do-than those who have
inherited disposition to belittle the
useful labors and achievements of
those they don't happen to like, in the
accomplishment of which end they
resort 10 form of falsehood and de-
ception the successful working out
of which must at times give the old
boy a spasm. When the disliked once
perform an Enthusiastically commend
able action, the act is misrepresented,
distorted, caricatured and hooted at,
while some mean or unworthy mot
i've is conjured up and placed behind
the goodly deed; and no people from
the beginning of the earth's popula-
ton down to the present time have
been more frequent and undeserved
victims of the practice than those
known to society at large as Nor
mons. 1t is not only the case tina,
they are lambasted from a to lizard
for things they do and don't do, but
those not of them who demand o
square deal and judgments tempered
with little less of malice and more
of equity, are denounced and hound
ed even more savagely than are those
in whose behalf they raise their voic-
es. Sometimes this particular line
of antagonism is overworked and

Young to the penitentiary for a con-
tempt of his court. 1t was a mos,
individous thing to do, for more than
one reason, but one was enough: II

was predicated was sufficient to jus
tify it, then the entire population OF
Utah, minus half hundred or so.
should have been herded in and lock-
ed up. However, this is not what
was directly referred to. The judge
was a personal friend of President
Grant, but the latter didn't permit
friendships to interfere with his in
depreciation of what was right and
what not, so ere three succeeding
suns had shed their refulgence upon
the highways and by ways of Zion,
the official head of the over-zealous
jurist was severed from its trunk and
literally by lightning stroke-a
Geographic order from headquarters
at Washington. Then it was that
President Grant became jack Nor
mon! Just think of it! Could hum
an faulty and short-sightedness go
further? Without the smallest hope
of coercing the Saints into the ac-
ceptance of the carpet-baggers' terms
of peace unless the unvarying aid Of
the administration was had, they de-
liberately and wantonly offered its
head a low-lived insult! Some of
them carried the thing so far as to
propose the keeping away in body
from the President when some time
later he paid Utah visit. Like the
wounded dragon they would have
stung themselves to death; but wiser
councils prevailed.
An instance in point has never been
settled as it ought to have been in
accordance with all the facts. After
the Mormons had been driven out of
Illinois and previous to entering upon
that portion of their westbound way
which lay beyond the Missouri and
was wholly unknown to them, an oc-
casion arose which resulted in The
weakening of their available military
force to the extent of some 500 men,
these entering the service of the Unit
ed States, which had just closed
contract with itself to thrash some
of the deviltry out of and some mod
ern decency into the race of Greasers
inhabiting our. southwestern border;
likewise incidentally to engage in the
practice of expansion. 1t is useless
to say that the enlisted men were the
flower Of the exiles' force, for your
Uncle Samuel accepts of no other
kind; also that the exiles' forces were
weakened on account thereof by such
percentage as made the necessity
for reliance on something beyond
military power more apparent if pos
sible than ever. The men served
faithfully and were honorably dis
charged when their services were no

to the east loom the Capitol, Library,
