TBXA9 1'ACiriO \Il.ltOAD LANDS.
On motion of Senator Vnn Wyck tlio
bill to duuliiro u forfeiture of lands
( ( ninti'd to tlio Texas Pnulllc conijinny
was rustorcd to lls origitml place at the
head of tlio sp | < : la1 oalondar. On tVh-
rintry 1 ! ) a inotion w.is Hindu for tlio
pruecdutiPO of other inciiiiiruii. Sutiittor
Vun Wyck saiil : This bill is tlcinaiidud
1) ) } ' thn unanimous sentiment of tins Amer
ican peoplo. Tliore is unanimity there ,
whether there was unanimity in the other
IIOIIMJ or not , or whether there will be
miniiiiiiily in tliis bnily. Our state and
national conventions have demanded
thai there .shall be piimtt ] a.ul spcwly
aetion ujion these matters. The national
convention which rcpresonts the Kontle-
men on the other side was equally as
unanimous and complete in its expres
sion of a demand for the restoration to
the public domain of forfeited lands , and
that it .should bo done b.y the prompt ac
tion of congress. The present owners of
the Texas 1'acilio railroad , of all men ,
have no claim upon the generosity or tlio
liberality of tlio people of this Union or
of the American congress.
February 111 , 1885. The Southern Pa-
jillo : came here and stood as an ally of
the government and emphatically said :
Withhold this , nnd we will construct tbo
road. ' 1 here is no pretext of a claim on
behalf of the Texas Pacilie company.
They never built a mile of road ; they
never convoyed an acre of this land ;
they never gave a mortgage for a dollar
of value on it ; and the question .stands
here naked und bold as between the
United States and the Texas Pacilie com
pany. Now it is proposed that we bhall
donate these L'0,000,030 acres lou corpora
tion which never earned them , because
they did not earn the grant. .Thoy con
structed ( be road in delianccof the grant.
In his letters Mr. llnnlington shows dis
tinctly that ho was antagonizing the
Texas I'ncilic.
Mr. Sherman : 1 wish to know one fact ,
and it is the iiirninc point in the whole
case. Is it true that the Southern Pacitio ,
before any assignment was made to it ,
built its line through to the Texas border ?
Mr. Van Wyck : It did.
Mr. Sherman : At thai time the Texas
Pacific was a subsisting corporation , and
it had not earned a single aero under the
terms of llio grant1 !
Mr. Van Wyck : Not an acre.
Mr. Sherman : They did not even lift a
shovel or a spade ?
Mr. Van W.yck : No ; not an acre did
they earn. '
Mr. Sherman : At that time these were
the two companies cngaced in hostility
with each other in seeking to get a law
through congress on the subject of their
grants ?
Mr. Van Wyck : The Texas Pacilie ,
which had thin grant , was seekmg-at the
time to have additional assistance by a
guarantee of the. interest upon its bo'nds.
J'he Southern Pacilie came here and
asked congress to Mop , showing that
they were able to build the road without
any'aid.
Mr. McPherson : Has the Southern
Pacilie ever asked for any assistance
fiom congress ?
Mr. V'an Wyck : It not only did not ask ,
but insisted that such aid should not be
granted it.
Mr.'McPherson : That aid. should not
be granted 10 the rival line ?
Mr. Van Wyck : That it should not be
granted to any company.
Mr. McPher.son : To the Texas Pacilie ?
Mr. Van Wyck : Yes , sir ; or to any
company.
Mr. Sherman : Did the Texas Pacific
actually build a part of the line ?
Mr. Van Wyck : Not a mile.
Mr. Hlair : The other road claims it as
nn assignee of the Texas Pacilie.
Mr. Sherman : I will ask my friend the
date of the assignment.
Mr. Van Wyck : The date of assign
ment was alter tlio completion of the
road ,
Mr. Sherman : Then nt the time of the
assignment the Texas Pacifio had not
earned a single acre within the govern
ment lands ?
Mr. Van Wyck : It had not earned an
acre of public land.
Mr. Van Wyck then read extracts from
Iluntington's letters , and said : Mr.
llmitington had fought his way through
and made the connection with the west
ern line of Texas. Then it was that they
made this agreeuent preventing any
competition , und after that they seek to
resurrect this dead grant and divide it
between themselves.
After the rejection of various amend
ments , the bill was passed by a vote of
50 against 3.
I'ACIKIC RAILUOAU SINKING PlINIr ,
Mr. Van Wyck moved that house bill
0771. amending the act of 1878 and preceding -
ceding acts , touching tlie relations of the
United States to the Union Pacific road ,
be referred to the committee on rail
roads. Ho said that this bill relates to a
very Important matter namely the
securing of the indebtedness of the Pa
cific railroad companies , Tha Union and
Central Pacilio owu this nation $100,000-
000. The act of 187. ) provided that no
new stock or bonds should bo issued except -
copt as1 provided in that act. Yet from
18iil to the present time the Union Paciiiu
has increased its stock largely , has issued
other bonds , and guaranteed still others
to u lurgo extent. In 1878 , after the
Credit Mobiller had startled the whole
country , congress expressly declared that
no now stock should bo issued nnd no
new obligations bo assumed except on
the payment of those heretofore con
tracted. Yet them has has been a now
ihsuu of stock. It is admitted by tlio
solicitor of tlie Union Pacific road , ami
under a mere subterfuge that Is , they
adopted the course that is pursued some
times by criminals , of an alias. Hut I
never knew that a criminal could escape
for a violation of the law by pretending
that he was called yesterday by some
other name than ho is called to-day. The
Union Pacific railroad became the Union
Pacific railway , and therefore it is that
all the pains and penultici of the law fall
harmless at our feet. Under this evasion
the laws of this government are set at
defiance. Koferrmg to the consolidation
of tbo Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific ,
the senator said they know the purpose
and object of the consolidation to carry
a worthless railroad , buying up its bonds
ut a nominal value , and its stock bad not
even a nominal value , und tlion consoli
dating it with a company which at that
time btood with its stock at 120 and be
yond. In 1878 the neoplo wore aroused
again , amt-rongress passed the Tliurmnu
net , and still the Union Pacific dctied
your legislation of 1878 , as they did your
legislation , of 1873. We tulle red these
men to take from lifteon to twenty mil-
lions ol dollars and divide it among
themselves , placing a mortgage on their
property * o : t < to render your lion of no
value. Now a bill has conn ) from tie
Other hou e , whMi is for the purpo e of
a better security for the immense debt
which is owing lo the people by this rail-
load. Senator Vnn Wyck th < * n referred
to tlie \ isit of C. ! . Art.inis , jr. , ( o Wash
ington to "ncgoliatc with congress"for
that is what congress is now doing witli
this almost bankrupt debtor. Is it possi
ble that you propose ( o allow the Pacilie
railroads to come , hero at this time , when
the matter is being plowed to a final set
tlement by the people , and demand that
they shall bo allowed all the technicali
ties they may urge , and that everything
shall rest until these gentlemen choose to
.say an end is reached in the courts ?
Tliero is one new feature it was deemed
nc.cessi'ry to change the president and
place , at ils head n respectable and
wealthy eitl/en of Massachusetts. Tlio
people want a better guarantee than the
mere respectability of the head of the
concern. C. F. Adams , jr. , is president
'
of the company now , but' the .same gang
are behind him. A great government
invests millions of acres of land and
millions of dollars in money , and yet
snll'ers the concern to be nfn merely in
the interest of stock gamblers , nnd O. F.
Adams , jr. , cannot expect , to change the
course of the company , because tlie > e
men control it. What lie did by his re
spectability among tlie people of Massa
chusetts is sought to bo done by the same
re'tpeetabllity upon congress. Witli all
this immense indebtedness in bonds
lirst mortgage , government , income ,
land grant , collateral , trust bonds-
Adams should have known that the .stock
was of no value ; and when , innocent
though ho was , ho allowed the people of
Massachusetts to go into the brokers'
shops with the gamblers of the Union
Pacific , ho was performing unwittingly
just about the same role that the. bunko
men of Boston did when they inveigled
C. F. Adams , jr. , into another den of
gamblers.
Mr. Garland having stated what the
action of the judiciary committee was
with reference to the Tniirinan bill , Mr.
Van Wyck said that there was a certain
fact which probably it would not do
harm to have stated to the senate. I
trust , ho said , that the secret session
business is not to spread quite so far that
we must take on trust everything that
conies by whisper or ollierwi.se from tbe
judiciary committee. Tlie Thurinan act
did come from that committee. This
body will probably send this hill to that
committee. The Thttrman act was in re
gard to tlio indebtedness of the Pacific
railroad companies to the United States.
Adams' visit to Washington was m re
gard to the indebtedness of that road to
the United States , i'lio propositions
\vliicli the judiciary committee we.ro con
sidering were on tlie question of that in
debtedness. The bill just laid before us
from the other house concerns the ques
tion _ of that indebtedness. The bill which
received the consent of tlio judiciary
committee was to spread the payment
over sixty years two generations of
men ; and that bill which tlie senator pro
poses hero covers the question of the in
debtedness of thebc companies. Tliero
has been no other question from 1878 till
now. There is nothingelso to consider
no question but the indebtedness. It will
confirm the opinion of the American
people that these corporations have suffi
cient power lir > t to come 'and take from
tlie government and get the congress fo
sanction it , the wholesale ; spoliation of
the public domain , and then , as Mr ,
Adams says , "Peace , be still"to these
troubled waters , and that must bo obeyed.
The senate mnstnotbecori'siiltcd , Aanms
jssnes his circular , his telegram , and all
is settled. We have eliminated all until
we go into court , and all is peace.
Mr. Hoar having spoken , Mr. Tnn
Wyck said that after the declaration by
members of the judiciary committee
there will be no indisposition to give this
bill that consideration which its morit.si
demand , and to give it promp't attention ,
he did not feel inclined to take it Irom
that committee , and ho withdrew his
motion.
AID TO COMMON SCHOOLS.
I fail to discover in the senator's ( Mr.
Blair's ) speech , and I fail to discover in
the senator's bill , any sort of guarantee
that this great bounty will reach a nor *
lion of the class which ho wishes it to
reach. I call bis attention to the point
whether the bill furnishes any guarantee
to congress or to the people , who will
have to pay this taxation , that that per
tion of the illiterates of the .American
people will have the benctits of which be
thinks will go to them.
Mr. Hlnir : The bill provides that when
taken within tlie states , it shall bo dis
tributed without any reference to color
whatever , and in such a way ns to equal
ise as far as may bo the educational
advantages of all classes , of all races
within the jurisdiction of the state.
Air. Van Wyck : But that is a mere
legislative declaration in tlie bill. Is
there any guarantee of the execution of
that provision ? The money is to bo placed
in the hands of the states , and is to be
controlled by them. It is to bo distrib
uted among the population of n great
many state ? , to whom wo gave the elec
tive franchise. That was a gift. Now you
propose to give them millions of money
to be distributed to edneato the children
of this same race. The elective franchise
was given to tlio whites and also to the
blacks. The state governments were to
administer the law , and notwithstanding
our legislation gave the blacks the right
to vote , nnd it was supported by a consti
tutional amendment , yet there are gen
tlemen who will say on this floor that that
gift to that class has never been enjoyed.
That gift was declared by legislation ; it
was sustained by a constitutional amend
ment of the American people , and yet it
failed to reach the object sought. Now it
is proposed to give millions for the pur
pose of the education of that same class ,
lo the same channel that was to bestow
the elective franchise on them that is , to
the state governments , I desire to know
before the debate is closed that there
shall be some sort of guarantee ! to that
portion e > f the people whom this money
is intended to reach ,
April 2 , 1884. It was supposed that this
billappropriating over $100.000,000 , would
bo received as a peace-ofloring from ono
side to the other ; but evhlently it is not
received in that spirit. 1 a.sked my friend
from New Hampshire what guarantee *
Jitiel been given for the exercise of the
elective franchise In certain states of this
Union , when assurance on that point
would strengthen the proposition My
frienel very frankly said that thuro was
no such guarantee ; that the franchise
was not exercised as was intended by the
congress and by the nation which made
that gift. There are ono-thirel as many
schools for tlio education of colored chil
dren ns for the education of white chil
dren ; and yet in seine of these states the
illiterate colored children exceed the
illiterate whites. Therefore you start
with a majority of the children needing
education having n minority of the
schools , This bill prevents the expendi
ture of any of the money for building
school houses. The senator ( Mr. Jtlair )
agrees with mo that provision should bo
made for building school houses. So ho
sees the force of the fact that if wo do
not so provide , in a year or two we shall
bo answered by the etutument that the
bill prevented it.
SaidJ Mr. Van Wyck on n subsequent
day : Some elays ago I proposed an
amendment to strike out the words "not
sectarian in character. " There are no
public schools of a sectarian character.
Then why these words as a gratuitous
llirust against a sect that has done moru
for education than any other ? The world
is indebted to the Catholic church from
the time of the dark age's , when she pro-
borved the literature of the centuries pre
ceding , and iu our curlier history , ivlieu
shii Established schools among the In-
diuils , until now she is .tiding to edneato
the colored nice , and gathers her own
children into 'parochial schools. A re
ligion whose creed wismay not ondorsf ,
and whoso fnith wo m yjiot believe , is
preferable ( o inlidellU' hid under the
mpjt.of "liberal cliriMianfty. " To-day
noliiint' is fo intolerant ns tin ) boasted
llberaiiMii , which mule * the pretense of
blotting out sects has uhitbd with secta
rianism in tlio attempt to drive the Hible
from the common school" , and is even
trying to weaken that -sentiment which
steadies the protjre.s-i of reform In the
state , which sanctions 'iioriee and good
will in society , tendinir to make liberty
more enduring. 1 reiolco. that the gen
tlemen advocating thii bill are willing
that this clause should bd stricken from it.
THE QUEEN OF THE ARENA.
A I'oop Ucliltul the SCOIIOH at tlio
Circus.
She was still young and , as fur as the
dim light hung from the roof would ena
ble a judgment to bo formed , good-look
ing ; the cork-grimed eyebrows , cracked
lips and dry cheeks , told that she had ap
peared before the public for its ninuse-
incut ; indeed the .traces of rouge were
still on parts of the face , and told too
truly-thai .she had laid there but a short
time , only since the last evening's per
formance ; indeed , when , during one of
jumps through the hoop , a man's put
ting on his hat startled the horse , and .so
caused a false step , which brought her
heavily to the ground. The experienced
ring-master saw she could s-oareoly stand ,
and handed her out , kis.siug her hand in
the usual .style , and few , if any. of the
spectators knew that when rapturously
applauding the most , unparalleled feat ,
the leap from the hoise's back through
the hoop to the ground , their applause
was unheard by their intended object.
She had fainted immediately on reaching
the dressing room , and was at once car
ried to the moving chamber where she
now lay.
IJut to return. She took her husband's
hand , saying , "Hill , I don't think I shall
go around anymore. "
"Don't say so , lass , it'll be all right
when the doctor conies. "
"No , Hill , 1 feel better , but something
tells me 1'vo put on the teas ; for the last
time "
"No , lass , no , " was all the utterance
he could lind. "Don't say so. "
After a pffuso she said , "Hill , you recol
lect that London chap with the French
name that came down to the Doncaster
races ? "
"Oh , yes , I know , " said the man half
angrily , as if wishing to avoid the sub-
juct.
"Well , you know that you said at that
time that there was something between
me and him. "
"Well , I know it , "said the man , "but
don't think of that now , don't trouble
about that now "
"Hut 1 must , Hill. I think I am dying ,
Hill dear , and I should like you to think
of me when I'm gone , as I am truly , Hill.
The man niade no answer.
"Hill , " said the woman , with increased
vehemence of manner , "do you believe
I'd tell you a lie now ? "
No answer still.
"Hill ! Do you think M tell yon a lie
now ! " said she , as thotJgh he life de
pended on his answer.
"No , no , lass. " said hetat last ; "I don't
think you'd tell a lie anynimV ! but now"
and he hesitated.
"Where's Jenny ? " 'interrupted the
woman.
"Here ! " said ono oft the youngest
women , standing up so1 that slie might
be seen. "What do youirwifttv"
"Jenny , you'll ' liiuf thekuy of the green
trunk in the china mug frith VNelly'on it.
I wish you'd look in tiie'.bdx ' . and'get my
old Hible out. "
The irirl found the * krty and asked
where the box was.
"Oh , dear , 1 forgot , v.ltls untler me , "
i said * the woman.
.VThcre niind " foiiil ho "I '
> , never , , don't
want any fuss about it. "
"Oh , Hill , dear , I wish you'd lift me up
a little and pull it out. V on can put the
broken chair under to keep me up then. "
"No. never mind , " said ho ; "it'll pain
you so. "
"Oh , Bill , dear , I don't mind I wish
you would. "
He did it at last , and , after some trouble
and a few suppressed groans , the box
was pulled out to the middle of the floor ,
opened , and there wrapped up in a paper
and neatly hid was the bible- , the paper
greasy from contact with misused head
dresses , crarlands , bands and other small
accessories of the dress' of the queen of
the arena. They gave it to the woman ,
who soon asl.cd , "Whore's Mary ? "
"Oh , she is hero now , " said one of the
women , and a girl about live cnme run
ning in ; she iiud only been performing
the part of a little fairy in the just
finished scene ; her wand was still in her
hand , and the gau/.o wings on her
shoulders ; she took them oil' , laid down
the silvered stick and came to the bed.
"Mary , dc-ar , are you there ? "
"Yes , mother , I'm jtiit done ; and tho'
people chipped so when Julia took me
on her .shoulder. "
"Put her on the box she can't see
her , " suggested some one. It was pushed
to where the child stood and then the

Jenny did and gave it back.

MOUNTAIN 11EADOW MASSACRE
One of tie Most Atrocious Oriincs in tbo
History of the West.
A STORY THRILUINGLY RETOLD.
Nearly Olio Iliuulrcd
StruiRlitcrcel nuil J7OOO ( ) Worth
oi' Property Stolen Tlic Uotl-
Ics Hoi-Hilly Mutilated.
In u work relating to Indian history ,
by .1. 1 * . Dunn , jr. , recently published by
the Harpers , tlio : ilitlior gives : i vivid timi
luithontio Hkcteh of the sttrooious Moun
tain Mi > ilu\v massacre , tlio thought of
which eveites burning indignation to-day ,
although nearly thirty years him- passed
since this dark stain on American annals.
As illustrating the stivngo spirit which
incited this horrible crituo , the writer
quotes from a sermon of liriglnmi Voting ,
published in the Ueseret News jasl prior
to the wholesalemurders. . Young tells
his congregation ! " 1 could refer you to
lots of Instances where men have been
righteously slain in order to atone for
tlielr sins. 1 have seen scores and hun
dreds of people for whom there would
have been a chance On the last resurrcc
tiou there will he ) if their lives had been
taken and their blood spilled on the
ground as a smoking incense to the Al
mighty , but who are now angels to the
devil until our elder brother , dcsus
Christ , raises them up , conquers death ,
hell and the grave. It is true that th6
blooa of the Son of God was shed for our
sins , but men can commit sins which it
can never remit. "
It was during the zeal which Young
thus wrought among his fanatics that the
massacre occurred. During the summer
of 1857 Captain Faneher's train , num
bering lifly-six men and sixty-two women
and children , most of whom were from
northern countiesof Arkansas , attempted
to cross the mountains on route to Call
fornia. At Salt Lake City the train was
joined by several disaffected Mormons.
In the train were thirty good wagons , as
many mules and horses and ( iOU cattle.
Their route lay through southwestern
Utah , where the .Mountain Meadows are
located. In these meadows they camped
on the -1th of September. Here is the na
tional divide. They wore on the edge of
the Pacific slope. They just began to
reali/.c their hopes , for they could almost
look over into California , their "pronv
heel land. " On Monday morning , Sep
tember 7 , as they were gathered about
the camp tires , a volley of musketry
blazed from a gulley through whioh ran
the stream that watered the meadows.
Seven of the expectant travelers were
slain and sixteen wounded at the tirst
lire. The men had been frontiermcn too
long to
HKCOMK I'ANIC-bTHICKKX.
Tlio women and children hurried to
cover and the men returned the tire ,
much to the surprise of the masking
assailants , who had expected to enjoy an
unresisting mAssacre. The assailants
were made up of Mormons masked as
Indians of I'ah. Utter , Upper IM-Eads and
Lower I'i-Eaeis , and all led by John 1) .
l ee , a Mormon elder. The response that
the bloody wretches received to their lire
drove them back and they sent after rein
forcements , and while waiting for the
same amused themselves by pitching
quoits , and occasionally shooting the
cuttJoiandj tiring upon the wagons , which
tho'tr'a'vclcr.s had to draw around them as
a barricade and defense. On Wednesday
a young man named Aden , a son of a
Kentucky physician , together with a coin-
, succeeded in eluding the vigi-
anee of the masked savages and getting
out of the meadows on their way to
CedarCity , where they hoped to secure
aid. At Richards' Springs they met
three Cedar City men ; SVilliain C. Stew
art , Joel White and Benjamin Arthur.
As they stopped to water their horses
Stewart
SHOT AND KILLED ADKX ,
ana White attempted to kill the com
panion , but succeeded only in wounding
him , when ho escaped and made his way
back to camp. His report tilled the emi
grants witli despair. Aden's father was
Known to have saved the life ot a Mor
mon bishop , and yet his son had been
assassinated by a Mormon. Already they
had pierced the masks worn by many of
their assailants to discover that they wpre
white men were indeed Mormons , lifty-
four in number. The Indians numbered
about 200. The besieged prepared a
statement of their desperate condition ,
giving as their belief that the Mormons
wore their real besiegers , directing it to
Masons , Odd Fellows and leading re
ligious denominations. Witli this state
ment they dispatched three of their best
scouts , directing them to California. The
scouts did not- succeed in eluding the
vigilance of the murderers. They were
run down by Ira Hatch , a Mormon and a
leader of a band of Indians , in the Santa
Clara mountains.
TWO OF TIIKM WKUK MUltDKIlRD
as they slept and the third was wounded ,
and a'fow days afterward assassinated.
While the Mormons were awaiting re
inforcements they knelt and formed a
prayer circle and asked for Divine
guidance. After prayer one of their
leaders , Mayor Higbeo , said : "I have
the evidence ; of ( Tod's approval of our
mission. It is ( iod's will that wo carry
out our instructions to tlio letter. "
In carrying out these instructions they
found it necessary to make use of the
basest treachery. This they did by means
of the white Hag borne by Leo and Wil
Hani Itateman , They represented to the
besieged that the Indians were terribly
excited and thirsted for revenge became
of the loss of some of tlielr cattle , and
they promised protection to the emi
grants if they would unconditionally
surrender. There was no alternative.
The supplies of the emigrants were giv
ing out , and inasmuch as Mormons were
the only white people in Utah , there was
no hope for mercy from anvolher source.
The terms wore accepted , and on the
morning of Friday , .September 11 , they
gave up all their guns and ammunition ,
and then placed themselves wholly in the
power of those whoso appetite for blood
shed had but just been whetted. They
marched out from behind
TJIKlll HAItltH.'APr.S.
The scene that followed is thus de
scribed by Mr. Dunn :
"It is just after noon and the day Is
bright and clear. Tramp , tram ) ) , tramp ,
they march down from the camping-
place. The men reach the militia and
give three hearty cheers as they take
their places , murderer and victim , side
by side. Tramp , tramp , tramp. J'hoy
are rounding the point of the ridge which
has served as a .screen for the Mormons
and Indians for the past week. A raven
Hies over them croaking. What called
him there ? Does ho foresee that ho shall
peek at the eyes of brave men and gentle
women who am loouing at liimr The
wagons with the wounded and the chil
dren are passing the hiding place of the
Indians. How cjuietly they Jin among
the gnarly oak bushes ! Hut their eyes
glisten and their necks stretch out to see
how soon their prey will reach them.
The women aro' , nearly a quarter of u niilo
behind tlio wagons , and the men are
much further behind the Women , A half-
dozen Mormon horsemen bring up the
rear. Tramp , tramp , tramp ! The wagons \

divido. The men nro entering a 1 ttlt

The have regained confidence , anil snt
oral arc expressing joy at escaping Iron
their savage foes. See that man on tin
divido. it Is Hlgbre. He makes a mo
tiou with his nrm and shouts something
which tlio o nearest him understand lobe
'Do your duty. ' In an instant the militu
men wheel and each shoots the nun
nearest him. The Indians spring fron
their ambiish and rush upon the women
from between the wagons the rillc o
John 1) , Lee cracks , and a uoundc (
woman in the foremost wagon falls ol
the scat. Swiftly the work of deatli goes
on. Lee is assisted in shooting and brain
ing the wounded by the teamster * , Kuicli
and McCurdy , and as the latter raises
his rillc to his shoulder he cries ; ' ( ) Lord
niv Hod , receive their spirits ; it is foi
Tfiy Kingdom that 1 do this.1" The
tomahawk , and bludgeon , and knife soon
completed the treacherous work begin
by the bullet , and In a tew minute.s altei
Hlgbee's signal not a man or woman wa1
left alive. Two girls were missing , am
were soon found concealed in sonic neigh
boring bushes. Two of tin ) Mormons
and Lee was one of them-dragged tin
trembling and
HALF IIIAI : ) oiiu.s
from their place of concealment am' '
ravished them , and then Lee oreturce
them killed by the Indians. An India )
chief objected , saying "they were tor
preetty to kill ; let us sivo them. " While
this objection was being made Lee heh"
one of the girls on his lap. She threw hei
arms about hi * neck and implored for he
life , promising she would love him al
ways if he would but let her live. Hi.
answer was to push back her head will
one hand , when , with the other ham
clasping a bowie-knife , he cut her whit
neelc through to the spine.
This finished the slaughter as awful a
were the Sicilian vespers. The bodies
horribly mutilated , were left upon the
meadows a prey for wolves and bu//.ards
for weeks , and it was not until SOUK
months had c1a | od that the whitenei
bones wore gathered together and buried
Sixteen or seventeen children , ranging
in ahe from a few mouths to eight years
were divided up among the Mormons
and so was about $70,000 in property
which the emigrants possessed. The liltli
children were subsequently secured b ;
( ientiles and restored to Arkansas , bu
the "strong parental government1' lint
never compelleJ the cut-throats to dis
gorge the $70,000 and restore it to the
SUKVIVOIIS OF TIIK MAfc Amr. ,
most of whom have always been in desperate
perato need of it.
A strange sequence to the awful massacre
sacro is the fact that Mountain Meadows
from being a verdant spot in 18."i7 , iuyit
ing the fatal halt and rest of the emi
grants , has become sterile and barren ,
literally the abode of desolation.
The only atonement ever oll'erod foi
the awful crime was the .shootingof Join
D. Leo at the scene of the massacre or
March ' . ' : ) , 1877 , nearly twenty years aftei
the crime was committed , and after hi
had confessed thai on that bloody occa
sion he himself took live lives. The re
sponsibility for the crime laid at every
Mormon otlicial's door , and Hrigliam
Young was their chief. They ought to
have all swung for it. President John
Taylor , ( Jeorge Q. Cannon and other
Mormon leaders ought now to be arrested
and tried , not for polygamy , but for the
Mountain Meadow massacre , and ought
to bo hung. They could all be convicted
of being accessory , not only after , but
before the fact.

Perhaps tlie most ingenious thing In the
way of an advertising novelty that has
come out for many years , Is u unique con
trivance Issued by the Duffy Malt
AVhlskey Company , Baltimore , Hid. , pro
prietors of Dufty'a pure nmlt whiskey.
Unlike most things of the kind , with
which the country has bccu deluged
heretofore , this Is a decided departure
from the usual rut , und aside from being
ono of the most nttrnctive things wo hare
ever seen , it , involves a uew discovery in
eclenca which Is both Interesting and m-
'Btructlve. So valuable was this discovery
regarded it was awarded n llrst prize gold
medal at the Brussel'a latcruotloual Ex
position , and it seems almost like
prostituting science to put it to Adver
tising purposes as It Is something that Is
Invaluable to institutions of learning , and
would readily command u peed price If
put on sale. However , the Duffy people ,
appreciating its Importance , have gotten
it out in the highest artistic style , such aa
will secure for it u permanent place in
every house In the country.
The device is culled Duffy's Ancient
Mariner's Stellar Time-Piece , Its object
being to furnish a guide whereby the cor
rect time iniiy Ue ascertained at nny hour
of the night , by observance of the North
Star and thr e other bright stars near it ,
the four stars forming a Cross or Crucifix ,
which revolves round the celestial polo
like the hands of a clock. By the aid of
the Duffy's device , which represents a
miniature flnmuieat and tabular dial , the
time can bo ascertained almost to the min
ute which is destined to render It Invalu
able to Mariners , Hunters , Fisherman and
to the masses generally , as after a little
practice , even a child will bo able to tell
the time at night-
Although the device Is quite an expen-
elve one , the proprietors Intend distribut
ing it free and in time avcry-body iu iho
country will have one. Requests for same
by mall , must bo accompanied by t > Ix cents
iu postage stamps addressed to their Sup
ply Department , as already they are
flooded with applications.c
