REPUTATION OF DEBTS.

Tuesday stated that man there had
gone insane over Halley's comet, aud
TINT the peculiar turn of his insanity
lay IN his idea that inasmuch as the
earth is 10 be destroyed it was unneces-
sary for him To pay his debts.
Which is remindful of the Mormon
long ago. When Joseph Smith first in
troduced his doctrines he proclaimed
that this was the last dispensation of
the fulluess of times that soon the
Savior was due TO appear in the TEN.
pile to be erected By the church he was
instituting. Both these propositions
naturally expressed his hallucination
that the end of all things, so far as
this life is concerned. was at our doors,
so to speak. While he was "translat-
ing the Book Of Mormon from alleged
golden plates by means of a purported
peepstone that he had stolen from the
Chases. he was unable TO do other work
to maintain himself and pay his debts,
He didn Z quite initiate The crazy Ohio

ris, a wealthy farmer whom he had
rcred in, to pungle up the coin, Mar"
tin was otherwise rather shrewd and
when he couldp It quite see through the
thing he baked. Then Joseph again
"sought the Lord and again Martin
was commanded TO go into his jeans.
Then at Kirkland, Joseph and Sidney
Rigdon opened a wildcat bank and is
sued lot Of bogus paper. They never
redeemed it, undoubtedly thinking then,
as the Ohio lunatic imagines now, that
inasmuch as things were going to be
ended right soon, anyway. it WASH t
necessary TO make good. Joseph Dor

for a return of the cash he informed
his victims that the Mormon lord needed

prophetic castle that was to be an in
heritance to his generations forever Cat
least, the revelation pertaining
thereto put it something like that)-|
and he had recourse TO his favorite
pastime Of hobnobbipg with the Nor
mon lord on the subject The result
was command to certain named indi-
viduals to subscribe to stock in the
Nauvoo House proposition. He pulled
the thing off In fine style, getting away
with it in manner so successful that
il would give clock trick man the
blues. Then he had another "revela
tom that he was not ''ft' to work
and must be supported. He lived in
royal style in his procured mansion,
riding out on his fiery charger or in his
fine carriage; greeting his bowing and
scrapiug dupes with condescending
nod, or entertaining n select few Of
them with smutty yarn, or getting
into the midst of n group of rough and
tumbles and wrestling with the best Of
'em.
Even one who is .'wrong in the
head may sometimes pull of some
amazing stunts
