Mor- monism is generally supposed to be confined to the Territory which oeutains the central citadel ol the Mormon faith, but ibe truth is that the Latter LUly Saints en camped. long ago in other Territo ries, where their power to-day is DEADLY POLITENESS. Arkans&w Traveller. “Nearly eveiy man who ever travelled on the Mississippi river in the old days, can relate an in teresting experience,” said the Rev. Mr. Jackson, a minister whose reputation as an impassion ed public orator lias g8ne beyond the boundaries of Arkansas. In the spring of 1850 I boarded a "grand steamer at New Orleans bound far up the river. I was a very young preacher at the time, and was under orders to repair to a small community and assist in conducting a revival. There was something of a war being waged between two churches, and it stood our church in hand to concentrate forces or lose ascend ancy in the neighborhood. These were the days of political and religious vigor, and avowed oppo sition in religious contests was regarded as being no more out of place or ill keeping with the faith than the fierce struggle engaged in by the Whigs and Democrats. I was toll at headquarters ‘hat another young preacher would be sent to assist me, and that if I needed more help to make my demands known at once. When I boarded the boat I looked around for my companion in arms, whose name 1 had not learned. The closest search failed to dis cover my assistant, and conclud ing that he had either proceeded or would come after me, 1 dis missed the matter and settled down to the quiet enjoyment of the occasion. “There was quite a number of gamblers—polished gentlemen— on board, and although I was op posed to gambling, I could not re frain from looking on and content plating with what serenity of countenance the players alternate ly parted with thousands of dol lars. “W on t you take a hand ?” asked an( j %vas j u danger as one of the players one evening, aderessing a young, pleasant look ing gentleman who stood near. “I never play,” he remarked. “Won’t do you any harm.” “I know it won’t, for I don’t intend to play.” “The gentleman is a rare joker,” replied a tall man who handled cards with an ease and lost with a good will that almost challenged respect. “Yes,” replied the young gen tleman, “a rare joker, because it is rare that I joke.” “Ah, and a punster,” said the tall man relinquishing one thous and dollars with a smile. “It makes .little difference to >you what I am. I came here to quietly look on, not intending to engage in the game or the con versation, and especially not to be the butt of any jokes that might arise from ill luck or success at the table. Regaidless of the business you follow. I hope you are w<ffl enough acquainted with the manners of gentlemen to trett an unobtrusive looker on with civility, if not with courtesy.” “You speak well,” exclaimed the tall man* “I hope that I am a gentleman of good birth and education, and I hope that I have not insulted you. It I have, I sin- serelv beg your pa: don. Grant it were engaged in insinuating con versation I saw you steal a roll of bills from that man,” pointing to one of the plkyers. “L’ntil then, and but for the remark you made trying to compel a cheerful grant ing of pardon, I was disposed to pay little attention to anything you might say. Now, sir I have made my statement. I.bave been led into this, and 1 may.regret the consequences—don’t hold him— but I shall make no concessions.” “The tall man’s eyes actually glared. “I have killed five men and all for less than this, he ex claimed. “Get out of the way I’ll cut you in two! “Get out ot the way, said the quiet man. ‘It would greatly please me if he were to sit down and conduct himself less dangerously, but if he is determined upon a wicked action, let him be under no restraint.” “You are foolish!” exclaimed one the gamblers, turning to the quiet man. “You are not armed, and even if 3*011 were Capt. Aide would kill 3’on. I am the man from whom 3*011 say he purloined the bills; I saw the action, but did not dare to interpose. “JSo this is Captain Aide?” said the 3 T oung gentlman. I have heard of him. He has a ver3 T un savory reputation in New Orleans. If well constructed reports be true he not only a thief but a murderer.’ “Get out of my wa3 T !” howled the Captain, and struggling, he thyew his companions aside and sprang forward. Like a sudden revolution of a wheel—like an action whose quickness cannot be contemplated—the young man drew a derringer and sent a bullet throughthe Captain’s brain kill ing him instantly. “Gentlemen, said tlie quiet man, beginning to talk ere the smoke lifted. “I had more than one reason for committing this deed ; I was insulted as 3-ou saw, 3*ou know; but, worst of all that man murder ed my father. I did contemplate killing him, but, as I said, would have granted pardon for his in sulting taunts. From the first, though, 1 contemplated his arrest which I should have accomplished had he not attempted to take m3’ life. I am sorry I have caused such confusion, and I hope that 3’ou will all, as I know that. God will for give me. “He walked away, gracefully bowing to some one who hurried to the scene of the tragedy. The boat was soon landed. The Cap tain s acquaintances took charge of the body*, and went ashore. We were soon on our way again, and but for certain influences that hung around no one would have known that a tragedy had been enacted. Our band of music, a common steamboat feature in those days, struck up a lively air, and the only suggestive remem brance of the Captain’s death was thewetcirpet where a boy had mopped away the blood. It was late at night when I reached my landing. Alone I made my way to the nearest house where, after my business was known, I was kindly received. Next day* I attended church and was at once escorted to the pulpit, behind which vtas seated some half dozen preachers. A well known minister arose intended to follow and arrest him at the next town, but you see how it resulted. “Years have passed since then, years of intimate aequainance be? tween the quiet young man and me. Some time ago, after a suc cessful life, I closed his eyes in death. He smiled with sublime willingness, and went without a groan. I never knew a truer or kinder hearted man.” A Horrible Slaughter of the innocents. It is difficult to conceive of anything more horrible than that which occurred on last Saturday’, at a children’s entertainment at Sunderland, England, by which one hundred and ninety-eight children were killed. Several thousand children had attended an exhibition of a conjuror in Victoria Hall, and after the per formance was over and the body* of the ball cleared, some 1,300 little cli' . o came rushing down stairs from the gallery at the top of the first High? of stairs. There was a door which opened only* twenty inches, and thus but one child could pass through at a time. At this point while the mass of were pushing forward one of them fell and was unable to rise, owing to the others crowding on. The result was that a great number were pushed doifn, trampled on and suffocated. The scene was terrible, and no effort could stop the mad rush of the affrighted children. . They came on pell mell, though strangely quiet with out much shouting. The bodies which were badly mangled from trampling, laid seven or eight feet deep, many victims and others who were not killed, had their clothing torn from their bodies. The ages of the 108 children known to have been killed ranged from four to fifteen years. The ex citement in town when the news of tiie disaster spread was terrible. Great crowds of people rushed to the scene untiljat least 2,000 per sons surrounded the hall. The feeling was so intense that the authorities ordered out the 5Sth Infantry to preserve order. The work of getting out the bodies was begun immediately. They were laid out in the hall and the pa rents of those killed were admit ted to identily' the bodies of their children. The most heartrending scene transpired while the work of identification was in progress. great.

As 1 said, I only Southern Timber Lands. The New York Commercial Bulletin declares that the South is destined to become the centre of the lumbering industries of America, and predicts that the annual 3 T ield of this article in the Southern States w’ill amount to more than 5100,000,000, bringing in nearly as much as the cotton crop. It sees in the late heav3 r purchases by Northern and Euro pean capitalists of large tracts of Southern lands a proof of this. These corporations and syndicates see the future ahead, and.they are wisely la3’iag in their supply of woodland now. There is no doubt, Eays the Bulletin, that now is the best chance for purchasing Southern timber lands cheaply; for along ... ii the rise of Southern prosper- i ity gi- icrally accompanied or in- | spire.j by railroad development tin. ber lands will advance much b?3’onn tlieir present value. It is true that j.he lumber market is somew’liat overstocked just at present, and not much is to be gained b3 r increasing the output but in the prosperous future ahead this industry* will grow* and increase in the steadj* develop ment of the country. All of which leads us to again advise our readers to hold on to their timber and lumber lands at least until their value is re alized. solved, and its solution will be come more and more difficult as the rears go b>*.

Texan cattle buyers are riding Georgia as well as Florida and Alabama. The Savannah News protests, and we commend its arguments to the attention of our readers, with whom we hav« heretofore ta Iked on the sub ject. Says the News: , A letter has been shown us from Texas addressed to a gentle man in tjiia city asking for the names of farmers iu Georgia who would be likely to inform the writer where he could purchase cattle in this State. We referred to this subject last week and ex pressed our opinion as to the im policy of stripping our section of the domestic supply* of beef only to replace it by importation at higher prices. We now say if Texans can drive our cattle from 500 to 1,000 miles to pasturage, and back again as beef to the North and Northwest, we do not see what is to hinder our people from fattening them at home and putting the heavy profits in their own pockets. Such profits should enable our farmers to stall-feed every* horned animal they can raise or buy* out of the wood's ; but let them go now in a poor state and at a poor price, as they: have been doing in Southern Albania Georgia and Fiorida, and when the beef season opens next fall our farmers will have the mortifi cation of seeing Tennessee beef supply our markets at exorbitant prices, while they have ndne for sale. This is not all. The Texas herdsman are sapping the founda tion of our future supply, by* purchasing and driving away the stock cattle. Once strip our broad wild lands of the numerous herds now roaming over them, and it will require, sevfeial y’ears to re stock them, even if the effort is THE made, which may be considered . ■ wlie, ' el O’ the Oeft promised on or by the fifteenth any of October .Eighteen, doubtful, on account of the fence question in some localities, and the impetus given to improved breeds in others, As all events we may* look out for high prices for beef next winter, and there after until our farmers have been fully initiated into Lite advantages of mixea farming and stock-rais- party* has outlived usefulness, but this result of the S?&r route trials to brea!v-H?a*back of the public’s attepjjfrn.
