History of the Rise of the Fend •-Proselytes Scattered Through the Upper Portion of the State. &The killing of Joseph Standing, the young Mormon elder, in north Geor gia, has created discussion all over the country. The interest that has been drawn to the section in which he was killed has brought oat some in teresting facts concerning the prog* ress made by the Mormons there: Let os premise what we £ave to ny by remarking that no ode can tell why the Mormons ham devoted so much to the' comities of Cherokee ■ia, in which they have been working so long 4 They arc not to be fbnnd ebewhere, 'bat they deem to be determined npon cdptivatui^ the sec tion spoken of! The Mormons sent their tint emissary into Georgia about seven years ago.. This man waa named Morgan, and is described as an extraordinary person. He was brave, aggressive, sniffy and eloanent. Hs begged no quarter and made no are usually quiet, illiterate people of small means, bat there are some few families of property and intelligence, which have embraced this faith. When they once become converted they are never reclaimed. The el* ders go through the circuit and preach to them, pray with them, and attend to their, spiritual wants, just ws other. preachers do with their charges. They have even organized a conference of the several congrega tions of native converts, Joseph Standing was the presiding elder of this conference, and was on his way to Rome to attend a conference meet ing when he was killed. In a talk with Senator. Hawkins, of Chattanoo ga, and Clements, of Walker, they both expressed the belief that the cause was progressing and growing strwighr. “They are gradually get ting new converts,’’ said Mr. Haw, kins, “andT hear they never lose a single one.’’ A most excellent preach er from Whitefield told ns that he occasionally heard of some member of hi-i own or other churches who was tui niog to Mormonism. We learn that there has never been fffcy trouble from mob law throughout the cirenitgene rally. The elders have preached in the court-houses of prob ably .every comity, have had good audiences and have never Jjecn dis turbed. Tliey preached, we believe, once of twice in the city hall or court house at Rome. They have never been anuoyed or threatened that we can hear bt, except at Vamells sta tion. They have had fair anil courte ous treatment. At first they attract ed crowds through curiosity, and at last bnilt up regular congregations. The people have become used to them and take ro notice of them. These elders have been singularly circumspect and careful. They have *=ot preached licentious doctrines at all but have kept the polygamic feature of the religion in the background, fc’ven when naked if polygamy is al lowed in Utah, they reply: “We have our marriage customs and you have yours. We shall not interfere with yours.” Of course there has been a great deal of general scandal abont the morality of these elders, but we could find no man who believed it Said one gentleman: “I don’t know of a single case where they have been guilty of immoral practices, even among the families of their ‘saints.* They seem to be bent npon their work of proselyting and npon nothing else. To this they devote all their energies oud their lives It appears that there has been con siderable trouble at the .little station of Varnells. Some of the people there, it seems, were determined not to see Christiana led astray and fami lies broken np by these elders. So they have never given them any encouragement. * Standing was a young man of twen ty-three years of age, bat had great courage and ability. If be had lived he would have risen to great promi nence in his ehorefa. He was buried in Salt Lake City on Bahday with Impressive ceremonies. We learn that the field in Georgia will not be abandoned, but will be ‘canvassed with ‘greater vigor than bis faith as ono inspired. Nothing could daunt him and very tew men could argue with him ) He was thor oughly prepared npon all points of hi* faith, and ae argued it everywhere. As might be expected, he made con- vats. At first there were bnly one or two, bat he gradually brought more over, on til he had them scatter ed over. Walker and the adjoining counties pretty freely. Then be summoned new elders, who came ont to aid him. Since then folly one dox en have been seat into this section. They were all under the direction of Elder Morgan, who was after a while made “superintendent of missions in tho south. 11 Tho ground most closely occupied by these proselyting elders wss Chat tooga eonniy (the half this ride of the moontaiosG Walker county, Catoosa, Whitefild. They have established a post or two in Floyd county and in Murray and Dade, and have gone into Pickens and Fannin. They drifted on toward Tennessee and North Carolina, appearing to shun the railroad aod stick to the moun tainous districts. They have made many converts in these counties, and have established what they call flocks in many) neighborhoods. Their poli cy is not, as has been supposed, to toh» all their converts to Utah. The troth is. they take only a small por tion of them. At ooe time they took over forty converts on one train, the crowd being gathered from several counties. At various other times they have sent batches of ten or twelve. It is probable that 150 or 200 will cover au that they have sent out from Georgia. Those people were mostly poor and shiftless folks, and generally past middle age. One or two prntty girls are known to have gone, bat the most of the women were old and ugly and not reliable to be pressed into ipolygamic relations. Many hnshanda andjwives went, the wives insisting that as tbs Mormons based their polygamic theory npon the feet that Baehel selected new wives for Jacob, they would be al> lowed to select r ew wives for their concessions, bat went ahead preselling ^ Eu er Moigan himself is com ing ont, arid the blood of Standing wUl but excite these monstrous fanat ics to still greater exertions. Efforts are bong made to capture the mardeneri, ana if caught they will be prosecuted vigorously. We learn that there were personal reasons that led many of the attacking mob to try and drive Standing ont of Varnelli He had endangered the peace and integrity of many homes.—Atlanta Constitution. Breaking it Gently. ‘Yes, I remember that anecdote,” the Sunday School superintendent said with the old pathos is his voice, and the old sad look in his eyes, ‘It was about a simple creature named that used to haul rock for old Haltby. When the lamented Judge Begley tripped and fell down the court noose stairs and broke his neck, it wss a great question how to break the sews to poor Mrs Bagley. But finally the body waa pot into Higgins’ wagon and lie was instructed to take it to Mrs. ft, hot to be very guarded and discreet la Ida language, andjnot break the nears to her at oone, bat do it gradually and gently. When Higgins got there with Ha sad freight, be shouted til Mrs. Bagley came to the door. * Then he said. Does the widdow Bagleyfive here?” ‘Thewiddow Bagley ? No SirF ‘I’ll bet she does! Bat haveit your own way. Wei’ does Judge Begley live here?” •Yes, Judge Bagley lives here.” I'll bet he don’t Bat never mind, it ain’t for me to contradict, Is the Judge in?” ‘No, not at present.” ‘I just expected as much..

When the horses came to wore, Tom got an out side position, and waa, with considerable difficulty, star ted for the first heat He broke badly and seemed reluctant to get to work. His driver tried to urge him, but be failed to respond: When at last the word was given, Tom fell in the rear, stayed there all the way around, broke fearfully on the baqkstretch, an«l came very near being distraced outright, Those who did not know him looked crestfallen enough. “Is this all?” broke involuntarily from a thousand lips: The second heat was simply a repetition of the first. Tom was disappointing every body, and it looked as though Mattie Hnnter, his principal competitor, would walk away easily with both money and honors. In the third heat Tom suddenly awoke to a consciousness of his situa tion. The rare was two-fifths gone, and he was nowhere. A thrill of energy shot through that some what emaciated frame, and the horse seemed strong with sinews of steel and filled with ambitions life. He swung into the lead as easily as a child would roll a hall ovor the floor, and kept it steadily all the way round, lowering the time and winning the heat. The fourth heat was like the third in all its distinctive features, Tom waking up more and more and getting down to solid work in a beautiful manner. At the conclusion of this heat, dark ness shut in and sent the race over into the next day. The climax, however, hpd net been reached. The afternoon of the next day was wanner and stiller than the previous one had been, and so was more favorable for fast time. The track was in a superb condition, and every thing conspired to give the horses a grand chance for the dosing heat. Tom and his competitors came out looking and feeling in good trim for the contest. There was some difficulty in gettig an even send-off, but at length the word was given them, and away they flew like the wind. It was to be a life-and-death struggle between Tom and Mattie Hnnter for the race and the money. There was no extra efforts pat forth to make unprecedented time It was simply a question of supremacy for that heat Tom had the pole and at once went to the front His driver leaned forward to get into the closest possible sympathy with bis flying coarser Down the backstretch he would gently ply a little whip to Tam’s nbs, ana the gallant horse would let ont link after link of won* derfnll effort The speed was some thing marvelous. The horses shot st any given point like a bolt of jhtning. As they came into , the home stretch, Mattie Hnnter dosed the gap between herself and Tom, and it looked for all the world as though the little blind gdding would lose hU place after all. But no; Tom’s driver told him be must quicken' his pore a little, and the little, prodigy, realizing that everything was at stake, sprung into if that carried him under the wire in the hitherto unheard of time of 2: When the result was announced, the enthusiasm can better be imagined than described. All felt they had seen an event which might possibly never he duplicated in the racing arena. Groups of men gathered together discussing the feat with smiling faces and qnickTy-throbing hearts. If a vision of glory had sud denly burst upon the multitude from the sky, they could not have been more astonished and delighted. After it was all over Tom was closely blanketed and his legs bound tightly in red flannel, soaked in stimulants. He showed that he had paced for all that was in him. He was breathing heavily, and there was a sort of sad expression to those sightless' eye-balls which seemed to say, “Why did you push me eo hard ?” Mattie Hnnter on the contrary, who is only seven yean old, appeared to be less fatigued than her successful rival, and appar ently none the worse for taking the second place in racing records, with a score of 2:13 to her credit. From Tom’S groom we learn that the blind bone has been paring more or less forthe last eight or-nine years, bat has only shown his marvelous speed within the last two years. He thought it very possible that Tom would pace a mile in 2; 10 before the season was Bat until this is done, Chicago beats the world in fee matter of speed. A Kansas school ma’m has in- trodnead a new feature in her school. When one of the girls misses a word, the boy who spells it gets permis sion to kiss her. As a result the girls are becoming very poor spel lers, while the boys are improving.. “I had no time to stuff * the .chick en,” apologized a landlady to her boarders. “Never mind, madam, ii’a tough enough as it is,” replied one of them. '. : “Do yon mean to insult me, sir, by calling your dog by my name t”— “Oh, no, sir, not at all; I oily meant to insult the dog.” An Ampliation, under the name of the “Jasper Monumental Associa tion,” has been formed for fee par- pose of erecting s monament to fee memory of Begeant Jasper. It will be remembered feat on the 9th day of October, 1779, Sergeant Jasper fell in fee attack on Savannah, aud it is the intention of this Asso ciation to lay fee comer stone of fee proposed monument on fee 9fe day of October, 1879. No occasion could be more appropriate than fee cen tennial of hie death; no ptaae more fitting than that whereon he feH. While other Irishmen rose higher in tile Colonial ranks, yet nano there was who more truly represented Ire land in Araeraartmm the brave and modest William' Jasper. Bora in Ireland, he emigrated to America and settled in South Ccro- lina. The war of the Revolution fbnnd him a devoted patriot, and on the28th of Jane, 1776, he was en gaged in the defense of Fort Moul trie. His conspicuous gallantry in leaping over fee ramparts of fee fort daring fee hottest of the fight and fix ing anew fee flag which had been shot from its staffj won for him the admiration of his comrades, and in- spited fee brave defenders of old Monltrie with a loftier heroism. For this act he was offered a com mission by Governor Rntledge, who said to him: “You have won a sword, sir, and yon most wear it.” “Nay, sir," replied ' Jasper, “I |am not worthy of the trost; adversity has been my only schoolmaster, liber ty my only schoolmistres. I can not mingle wife those who are superior to me in education and manners with out exposing myself to deserved eons tempt. Let me alone; let me servo my country in the way that suits me bret, as an* hnmb’.e and devoted la borer in the cause of freedom ” Gov ernor Rutledge yielded to this refus al, but presented him with sword which the Governor wore abont his person. Probably the moat desperate feat of arms of the Revolution was the re lease by Jasper and Newton of abont twelve American prisoners and the capture of fee guard of ten British soldiers. The circumstances sur rounding this exploit were romantic in fee extreme and worthy of the days of chivalry. While reconnoitering fee British camp at Ebenezer, Jasper learned from a Mrs. Jones that her husband, then in irons, charged wife desertion of fee royal cause, was shoot to be sent with other prisoners to Savannah, there to be tried, and, doubtless, executed The distress of the poor woman "and her child toadied fee heart of the impulsive Irishman, and he formed the desper ate resolution of attempting a rescue. The prisoners, under guard, started for Savannah. Jasper and Newton followed them unarmed until fee par- S r arrived at what is now known as asper Springs, abont two miles from Savannah, on fee Augusts road. Here the guard stopped for water, resting their arms against fee trees. Jasper and Newton each seized a musket, shot two of the guard down, dashed tint fee brains of two more wife fee dabbed gan^Vlesped be tween the remaining rix soldiers and fee other mnsketa, and possessing themselves of fee loaded weapons, compelled the surrender of feeds, released the prisoners, escorted them to the American army at Pnrysbnrg, and safrir retarned Jones to his wife and child. The 1 death of Jasper was in keep ing wife his fife.' The attack on- Sa vannah was disastrous. The French and Americans were repulsed; fee bugle had sounded fee retreat when fee flag which Mrs. Elliot] had pre sented to him, and which, be had promised to guard “until eternity,”' was seen by him trailing in the dost. Lieutenants' Bnshe and Home had been killed while bearing feat banner, and it waa from Hand’s dying grasp that Jasper seized it at the close of the action and the day. Jasper made good his promise. He guarded it “until eternity.” While bearing it he fell, and in falling said o Major Horry, a companion ui arms, “I have got my furlough. That sword was presented to me by Governor Rat- edge for my servioes in fee defense of Fort Monltrie. Give it to my father, and tell him I have worn' it with honor. If he should weep; tell him bis son died in fee hope of a bet ter life. Tell Mrs. Elliott that I lost my life supporting the colors she pre sented to our regiment. If yon shonid ever see Jones, his wife and son, toll them that .Jasper is gone, but that the remembrance of fee bats tie which he fought for them brought a secret joy to h«s heart when it waa abont to stop its motion' forever. Tell my friends who shall remember to ask for me that their poor friend has fought his last fight, has struck his last blow; and may fee blessings of Providence-zest upon my country and her cause.” . “Sofell Sergeant Jasper; his list blow struck in the cause of America; his last shoot a gathering cry for the defense of her honor; his last wish a prayer tor her prosperity!
