HE MEETS THE SLATER OF HIS FATHER IS AR- j
KANSAS—SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.
Young Proposes
At this time when divorce suits and other
difficulties gather around the much-wived
Brigham Young, it is of some interest to
know in what spirit he takes his troubles,
and how he proposes to relieve himself of
them. The last number of the Deseret News,
his organ, gives prominence to a discourse
by Brigham, in which he thus feelingly re
fers to some of the crosses the many-wived
Ylormnn has to bear, and the manner in
which he is “pulled about” by his numerous
spouses:
“Brother George Q. Cannon says the sisters
have borne a great deal. So they have, but if
they could only stand in the shoes of their
husbands, who are good, true and faithful, they
would know that they are by no means free
from perplexities. Just fancy a man with two,
three, or half a dozen of his beloved wives
catching him on one side, and before he can
take three steps more, catching him on the
other, and‘I want this,’ T want that,’and
‘this is not right,’ and ‘that is right,’ and so
on; their minds just pulled to pieces. Isay
if the hair is spared ou their heads they may
consider that they have got blessed good
wives."
Elsewhere in his discourse, he indicates a
purpose to make a grand change of base on
behalf of the Mormon community, by insti
tuting what he calls “the organization of
Enoch,” in which all things shall be owned
in common. He does not state the plan defi
nitely, but it would seem to be much that of
the Shakers or the Oneida Community in the
matter of holding property. Neither does he
indicate the manner in which the polygamy
qaestion is to be solved; whether on the Sha
ker plan of celibacy, or the Oneida doctrine
ot “stripiculture” and miscellaneous inter
course.
Concerning this contemplated coup he said:
“The only reason why we do not take up
the snbjeot and enter into the organization of
Enoch, or the city of Enoch, is simply be
cause we have not yet been able to find every
item of law bearing upon this matter, so as
to organize in a way that apostates cannot
trouble us. This is the only reason. It is a
matter that I am paying particular attention
to, with some of my brethren, to see if we
have skill enough to get up an organization
and draw up papers to bind ourselves together
under the laws of the United States, so that
we can pnt our means and labor together and
join as one family. As soon as we can accom
plish this, and get an instrument that lawyers
cannot pick to pieces and destroy, and apos
tates cannot afflict ns, we expect to get up
this institution and enter most firmly into it.
“Yesterday and the day before I had con
siderable to say to the latter-day* saints, re&G-
ing the dark side of the page. 1 will say here,
I am not discouraged with regard to this lat
ter-day work, I am not discouraged with re
gard to the latter-day saints. If we were to
pick and choose to-day we should find a large
majorty of the people called latter-day saints,
who are ready and willing, with open hands
and pure hearts, to enter into the Order of
Enoch, and to live and die in this order. This
is my faith concerning the people at large,
consequently I am not discouraged. But
there are some men who need chastening.
We cannot call names, this will not answer.
We cannot tell a man that he is going to
apostatize, but we can chasten him as a mem
ber of the church, not as an individual. In
this capacity, while in public, we do not take
tbs liberty of chastening an individual. But
we can say to the brethren and sisters, we are
encouraged, ‘Mormonism’ is onward and up
ward, the gospel that the Lord Jesus has in
troduced in the latter days is eDjoyed by
many, and it is our life, our joy, our peace,
our glory, our happiness, our all; and when
we come to the trying scene, as some call it,
of sacrificing our property, and putting it to

Correspondence of the Courier Journal.
Mt. Washington, Ky., August 10,1873.
This morning I learned from a gentleman
just from Arkansas the particulars of a trage-
ciiAniru of d T which was enacted a few days since at Ark-
* adelphia, Arkansas, in which two Kentuck
ians were the interested parties, and as the
facts may be of interest to the readers of the
Courier-Journal, they are furnished, as fol
lows:
Some years ago there lived in Spencer
county a large family of the name of Wathen,
and in this lamily was a son named Nathan.
Early m life this young man married a daugh
ter of Kaiser Hughes, but after a term of life,
the couple separated, and the wife obtained a
divorce. After this, Nathan Wathen emi
grated to McCracken county, where he located
near Paducah. He engaged in business with
a brother of his former wife.
In a short time after this the war broke out,
and the Federal soldiers occupied Paducah,
thus furnishing an opening ior money
making, and Wathen gave up his situation
with Mr. Hughes and went to Paducah and
one son, whose given name was Walter, and
his age was then about seven years. This
tragedy caused Wathen to flee the country,
and he went to Arkansas, where had lived iD
peace until the 20th day of July.
Young Walter harrilson, with the lapse of
years, grew up to mauhood, and about the
first ot last month he bade his mother adi eu
aud left his Kentucky home to seek his for
tune elsewhere. His first stopping place was
at Arkadelpbia, Arkansas, where he quickly
made friends and soon obtained employment.
One evening, soon after his arrival, he told
one of his newly made friends about his past
life, also the particulars of his lather’s death,
and in the narrative mentioned the name of
Nathan Wathen. At this time the fnend
sprang to his feet and said: “That man lives
in this place, and I know him well.” Young
Harrilson then said, if this were true he
would find him and revenge his father’s
death. This remark was repeated by other
parties until it reached the ear of Wathen.
Time passed on until the 29th of July,when
the parties met in a grocery store. Wathen

The counsel for Mdme. Milliere contended
that her husband was neither a member of the
commune nor of the central committee, and
that Captain Oarciu had no right to take
away his life. The attorney-general main

instigators of the insurrection, and that, if
any one, the government and not Captain

Harrilson rushed out to shoot again, when
Wathen said: “Don’t shoot me again! You
have killed me, and I want you to forgive me
for killing your father. ” Harrilson replied
that he would forgive him, but doubted if
God would. Then Wathen turned over on
his side and expired.
Harrilson at once gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried the second day after
the tragedy, and after a thorough hearing of
the case was honorably acquitted.

to gross imprudence, either in eating or

When the stomach rebels against food and

deadly poisons, and even when taken in very

casion by Bishop Cannon (tbe Mormon dele- j vision. Ont of tbe number only one death has
gate to Congress) who is, next to Brigham
the leading spirit in Monnondom, he unfolded
some of the particulars of the hew plan. Af
ter referring to the fact that the difficulties
under which the Mormons labor, were due
to the increase of wealth he said:
“In the early days of this church God re
vealed unto his people a system for them to
live in accordance with. It is known by us
as the order of Enoch; and it seems to me,
evety day, that events are so crowding npon
ns as to compel ns to reflect npon and to pre
pare onr hearts to enter upon the practice of
this order; and that, unless we do enter npon
it, sooner or later, as God shall direct through
his servant Brigham, we shall be subjected to
all the disasters and evil consequences which
have attended the present system of things,
under which all men seem to live and labor
for self only, and few, very few, think about
the good of the whole.
“In tbe Book of Mormon we read that af
ter Jesus came, the Nephites had all things
in common, or, to use the language of the
book, that “they had all things in common
among them, therefore they were not rich and
poor,” regulated, of course, by the revelations
he gave unto them. They entered npon the
practice of this order, according to the account,
in the' thirty-sixth year of our era, that is,
within two years after tbe appearance of Jesus.
It is prohable, however, from tbe reading,
that they entered npon it immediately after
the appearance of Jesus in their midst.
They were then in good circumstances to
enter upon it. The wicked bad been killed
off, and tbe land cleansed of their presence.
Cities had been sunk, and water had risen
in the place thereof. Mountains had fallen
upon other cities, and great destructions
had been accomplished) in the land, and
the remnant that ware left were a compar.
atively pure people. For 165 years after
wards, or until 167 years after the appearance
of Christ, that is, nntil about the year 201 of
of our era, the Nephites dwelt under this or
der. They spread abroad thronghout all tbe
land of North and South America. They
dwelt in lightenasne&s.so much so that Jesus,
in speaking about them by the spirit of proph
ecy, said that not one soul of those genera
tions should be lost. It was a millennium,
so far as peace and truth and virtue and
righteousness and brotherly kindness were
concerned. Of course it was not a thousand
years, but they dwelt together as one family
for 167 years. No divisions, no strife, no en
mity, no classification, no rich and no poor,
but all partaking of the heavenly gift alike,
and God has said in his revelations unto us,
“If ye would be equal in heavenly things, ye
occurred, showing the extreme mildness of the I
attacks. It is generally believed that gross
imprudence, such as eating watermelons, etc.,
occasioned the sickness we record. It is re
markably strange how rational men and
women will, in these times of disease and
death, act imprudently, when by being care
ful we may escape farther ravages of tbe dis
ease. We earnestly, candidly warn onr citi
zens to exercise nnnsnal care and marked
prndence. It was in tbe present month, in

Two Curious Suits.—A very curious case
has just been brought before the civil tri
bunal of Vesoul, the facts of which may be
thus summarily stated. At tbe commence
ment of the late war the town was occupied
by the Germans, who turned the Palais de
Justice into a military storehouse. In the
beginning ol January, 1871, the enemy had
to fall back hastily before the advancing
columns of Bourbaki, who was marching to
the relief of Belfort. .The officer in com
mand of the Badeners, with a forethought
which does infinite credit to his commercial
if not to his military training, being unable
to carry off his magazines, conceived the in
genious idea of getting the m&ire of Vesoul to
give him a receipt for tbe knapsacks and other
material of war he was obliged to leave be
hind him. The French army entered the
place, and, as is duty bound, tell on the en
emy’s baggage in spite of the remonstrances
of the m&ire.
Shortly afterward Vesoul was re-occupied
by the Germans, and not finding their mili
tary effects, they sent in the bill to the maire
—a bill amounting to 126,000 f. In vain did
the unfortunate functionary protest that he
could not be held responsible lor an act of
war; in vain did be urge that the French ar
my had not exceeded its rights. General
Werder would listen to no excuses, saying;
“ You have signed and you must pay,” and
Vesoul was menaced with pillage and other
severities. The maire informed several nota
bilities that they would be seized as hostages
in the event of resistance; and finally, by the
aid of arbitrary taxation, half the sum was
paid, and only one hostage was sent across
tbe frontier. Fortunately for Vesoul, the
treaty of peace was signed and tho sufferings
of the inhabitants were cut short. Tho good
people of Vesoul declare that the maire had
no right to sign snch a document as that
whicu he gave to the officer in command of
the enemy’s troops, and they aro suing him
to recover the amount,

any quantity to suit purchasers. The efficacy of this
“ Great Remedy.” for Dysentery, Diarrha, the Chole

public as a cure for these diseases that is its equal. In
premonitory symptoms of the much dreaded epidem

ant to the Uste, has no nauseating effect, and to be
convinced of Its virtue ’tis only necessary to give it a
trial. It can be purchased at the drag stores of Col
