AND THE "RED LIGHT

1t is not surprising to see that the
Smoot "Mouth - is trying again to lay
the blame for the cred light district
at the door Of the American party, since
the blame Of tho American party. since
that "Mouthn is notoriously the most
fertile, and consciencclcss. and vindic.

easily earned that degraded title from

BRIGHAM'S BLOODY DREAM.

In sermon which was preached by
President Brigham Young in the Salt
Lake tabernacle on March 81, 1853, the
speaker went on TO describe a dream
that he had had concerning two apos-
tates 1t is an interesting narrative.
1t shows the sort of spirit that ami
mated the brethren in those lively old
days, when the "blood atonement'
doctrine was common talk aud not of
altogether uncommon practice. Brigham
had related a part of the conversation
which had been conducted between
himself and those visitors, in his dream,
and then went on to say:
With that I took my large bowie knife

Nauvoo, and cut one OF their throa Is

courses, volume l, page S5.
OF course, it was only dream; but
the fact that Brigham took such pains
to rccitc it in all its gruesome details
brings up some thoughts with respect
to the class of men who called them
selves prophets, secrs, and revclators
of the Almighty. 1T also exposes the
as guide to these men. Likewise 1T
serves TO show that there was no
squeamishncss on the part of the hie-
rarchs to suggest to their followers
that for the hated apostatc the knife
was the thing-that the all.cursing sin
of apostasy could be wiped out only
in tho blood Of the sinner.
AS rule, the Mormon apostate is
more bitter against the Mormon lead

never been identified with the faith to

authorities themselves. The most com

STATE SOCIETIES AND G.. A. R.

A number Of state societies. com
| posed Of former residents in different
States OF the Union, but now residents
Of Utah, have been formed in this
city from time 10 time. some of these

of such societies as possible. TO make

than TO find here those who arc ac-
quaintcd with them personally, or who
have friends and acquaintances in com
mon. And nothing could more promptly
and completely foster that home feel
ing than the welcome that such State
societies could extend. and the good
fellowship that would thereby be fos-
tered,
OF course, these societies would not
in any sense be scctarian or political;
they would be wholly friendly and
social. AS TO those already organized
on social lines, and prior to the incitc.

Army, they will do their part, and will
doubtless continue TO be, as they have
been in the past, features Of the social

MANCHESTER.

The Military Minstrel Company of
Augusta, which appeared in Manches-
ter on Wednesday evening of this
week, presented one Of the finest en-
tertainments of the season. Owing to
the decidedly unfavorable weather
conditions Of the evening, the attend
ance was not as large as it would have
been otherwise, but those who made
the effort enjoyed themselves to the
utmost. Each and every number was
gem and worthy of the highest praise
but we cannot refrain from making
special mention of the excellent work
done by Thomas Fox. His beautiful
voice was never clearer or more APP
preciated than Wednesday evening,
and in his selection alone, one felt
they had received full value of the adj
mission, while Harry Jones as prize
niger and "dawg fancier' certainly
left nothing to be desired in his part,
in fact, the entire troupe are artists,
and under the efficient management OF
j. H. OMelia. cannot fail to succeed.
The orchestra of five pieces, under the
able direction Of Joseph Bolger, is fine,
and the dance following their produc-
ton was indeed a luxury. We sincere
" wish this company success wherever
they may go and strongly recommend
them to any Grange or order wishing
fine, high-class entertainment.
