There are, asnearly as 1 ean make out, about two hundred Mor mon migsionariep gegtlored throug put the southern states, working like beavers for the glory of the Mormon church, The class they work upon is mostly the comforfa ’hlo, solid class of small farmors }who have hames of their own, and without much ambition to rise in the world. hayvo always bhaen gbove want and have the means, by tur ning their pyoperty into cash at o ruinoys f-x,z\_urmlmp when the Mor mon eraze strikes them. It will aid thoso nni‘znnili:u“\'ith the methods of the Mormon chureh to propagate its faith ta explain that this liggionary labor is not the sacvafice, the sublimo abnngw! tion of private interests that on ite face it appears to be. Stripped of all sentimoental drapery, the nuked facts show it to be a scheme of BAVING BOULS ON PERCENTAGR. Every wmissionary goes at his own expense. Why (l)tr) they want to go? W}\y do they clamor to be sent? x The man who clamors to be seat as a miggionary considers the litéle perquisitos, the shabby honors, the tinselod glaries and the fat divi dends. He wants to go on the mis sion, beeause tt is the firat great {stvp to preferment. ’ Prosident John Taylor, the suc coseor of Bringham Young, began life a poor mechanic in Toronto. but he hag served so {aithfully in tic Lord’s vineyard, keeping a pru dent eye meanwhile on the Lord’s imw‘nm}s, that he is able to live in| la palace at SBalt Lake at an ex-| pense of $50.000 or $60,000 ay -ar. te began a poor misgionary. lie lheld the post fcr many years of missionary agont or of emigration at New York. | | PERSECUTING A REVOLTUR. | A Georgian, one of theparly oon verts, had sottled with hig faily in Spring valley, a reniote and isd lated region. Last summer, becom ing thoroughly disgusted, ho apos tatizod—stood up oponly agains the church, His cattle began al once to come up mussing. His gate: were found open, his fenees hroken his crops trampled and destroyed. Noxt the diteh was broken when i was his turn to lrrigate, He knew what it all meant, and it only made nm the madder and the morc determined. He conld not sell out }nn body would buy. Hemight hav got away if ho had gone quietly be fore the sun rose and lelt his prop erty behind him, hut he could not do that. He was o man of spirit and he began {0 speak his mind He said that as soon as ho coule oot away he would go back ta Geor sin, and he'd like to see the Mor mon church vt any more convert froms #mat rozion witor ho had told his story in the newspapers, In De ¢embor this bold man died. Hi died away from home. lis body was found two or thre days after he was missed, The coroner’s jury sard it was snow-stide. The covo ners jury wore all good Mormen: They -were also good neighbors: for they insisted on laying him out and fixing him for the grave themseives, to save his wife’s fecl: ings. But the wifc moddled when left alone with the corpse, and dis covered o hoda in the broust just o ver the hieart : but sho was a wo man of senge, and shoe let the fu neral proceed quiotly. A moddio some friond who took it upon him soif to investigate, discovesed tha the body had been found sixty rods from the snow-slidg, and a judee of Utah snow-slides, gave it as his o pinion that i tho-man had heen canght'in sueh o one ag that, he would have boen pulveriged. That was in Utah, 1t is not g 0 difficult #o got-away from this Colorado col ony, for it is only mnine miles to a “Gentle” villago, The fare, howey er, back te Kentucky where many of the colonists are from, is about SSO for cach individual, and to a poor man with a family this is some thing of an obstacte. To Tennesee, Geergia and Virginia the obstacle i greater, : ; '%his colony ‘was founded six | years ago, and thd groater number mumber of southern converts since then have been sent here.

Of the sixteon hundred inhabitgnts algimed for the colgny at ‘present, ahoyt fwar fifths are from Utah, They ape sent here be cause they understand the Mor mon motive better than it pan bhe imparted to goutherners, '{i‘nlly half the sputherners in the colony haye lately broken into o pen ravolt, and thero is every reass on to hope that all will soon join in denouncing the cruel deception by which they were induced 1o leave comfortablo homes in a mikl climato and caome o this gleyaiggl and frozan rogian, harren aind tim® berlass, whose firewood hag to be hauled nineteon miles, : TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO VOTE, Ahont two onths ago there was a disturbance among them on L:wmnmt of arbitrary leapurcs cni ployed ta campel them to voto the ticket in the November election which the priesthood had dictated. Fouiteen of them had drawn np - potition ta the “Kiret Counsel” of the Salt Lake City, praying . for rodregs. Anti- Mormons advised them not Ho send it,but to make an independent course and hold their ground. Led by William L. Ball, of Bussell county Va., IFelix B. Mayor, of Rome; (. and J."'H. Totty, of Hickman county, Tenn., they did 80, and now half the southerncrs inthe colony are with thewm, and havo withdrawn from the chureh, and the resture on the fenoee, | The sulferings thoge peoplo have pagsed thmn;{}x aince leaving homie, their religious disappointment, their hopeless poverty, their hero i stand forthe right when deiven to the wall, all entitle them to the ereatest and kindest consideration from “the old folks at home.” RAM UKL PRESTON, OF KENTUCKY. “Mr. Preston, you have heard the statement of Mr. Miller. Do you concur in his views?” - “fe isn’t half strong enough. You can just say to the folksiat heme, for me, that instead of fusd ing ¢he Zion the Mormon missigy aries told ug about eut here, wa've found hell. Yon can just say it's hell-—the worst kind of s hell. Why thom elders back in Kentueky used t» show us happy and prospercus w 'd all he out here together in this aarden of paradice; how there wouldn’t be nothing but unity and love between us, walking in the ways of the Lord, and helpiwg one another.” JAMES M. BPRNCER, OF RFLEMiNG COUNTY, KY. SWhat induced you scuthern people to broak off from the Mor mon chuarch, Mr. Bpencer?” . “Wo found out as sooan as wi <ot out here faud saw how things wag, that we'd been taken in, and thai set as a thinking. We {ound out that some of these Uiali poeo -1 ‘mongst us here were practicing polygamy, and we never ‘]ikm’x that to beein with., Then the priesterall by which the Moron chuarch in wrferos in all our private allairs. and tellsus who to vote for and who not to vole for, was inove than we were zoffig to stand. We didnt want to mix teade and religion.” “How do you incan trade and re ligion.” *Theso Mormons have a cooper: ative scheme for most everything They have a cooperative store | They call that Zion’s Cooperative Mercantile Institute. Of course. Jthere can’t any body else trade where that is, because they run them out. 1t looks all fair and nige Jbut you see instead of being own ed, s yowd think, by il the peo pla, it 135 owned by two or thre of the priesthood—you know they call all the officers of the chavch the priesthood, and there's a-lot of thom-—.nd whon they got thing all going, they just charge you two or three prices for cverything, and if you don’t trade at thee-op” they say you are weak in the faith, and tho first thing you know you are i to some gort of serape with them,’ “How do they treat you all since the revol.” “They hayve done nothing yo bu' lie about ux. But they hate us worge than thoy do the Geatiles. They have always managed to make us vote as they pleased till lagt election. Wo just Lickml agin it then, and the row began.” “HTow about the fight in the church? Were you there, Mr. Spencer?”’ i “Yeos, I was there. They often give a dance in the church, tiaking out the benches. Between Chrisi mag and New Year's thoy give one, and said none of wo revolters shouldn’t go, Wo didn’t want to go, but when it ¢ame to that seven young fellers concluded we hal AASHCR S UANUIRS SOV IR SACEIRTARC WS TR, ehurch, When wo appeared at the dance they were n)mf and Presi dent smith jumped g a bench, and called to theip sidoe to put ys out, With thet the Bishop peeled off his coat and Jessio Snuth, the missionary, pecled off his, and said he'd lay his " religion aside till that job was done. 1t was a purty lively scraimble for awhilo, :m«f there werea good many knock-downs on bath sides, There were over 30 of them agin usgeven, hnt we #tood onr ground.

A. LAUER, QF. FANNIN COUTY, GA, “1 am not a mormon, but my wife is. I came oyt on her account. About fifty converts came from that section. There were eight Mor mon missionaries working about there, My wife thought she couldliv her religion better out here in Zion and receive the spirit of grace more fully.
