Lee, of the Mormon Church, has de termined to turn State's evidence against his accomplices in the Mountain Meadows massacre, September 18, 1857, on account of the efforts of the faithful to impede his defense and thus sacrifice him that others might escape, is by no means unlikely, says the World, and it is .probable that Lee will soon publish a full and critical statement of the terrible affair. It will bo looked forward to with much interest. The following story of the massacre has never before been told : .. , . .. , y , According to the Mormons the train of immigrants, so ruthlessly massacred contained several families from that part of -Missouri whence the Mormons had been driven ; one member claimed- to luive" been at Carthage when the prophet, Smith, -was killed, and another displayed a pistol which, he said, "had f;liot Jog Smith and was loaded for old J righam, ' m These . in the then excited stato of Mormon religiouseeling; whose first element was a superstitious rever enco for tho living prophet, and a burn1 ing desiroto ayengo the martyrdom of tho dead one, would 'furnish at least a pretext for popular violence. Again,, the train contained several Arkansans, neigh bors of McLean, the man who killed the apostle, Parley P. Pratt, for robbing him of his wife, and one of their number was said to have been concerned in the kill ing. Among tho minor reasons that the Mormons declared had excited hostility against the train were the naming of two oxen "Brigham " and " Heber " (the latter after Heber C. Kimball, first coun cillor) ; the use of profane language, an olfunso against the Territorial laws, for which, indeed, it was sought to arrest some of the immigrants at Cedar City ; tho harboring of apostate Mormons ; the wanton destruction of fences and grain and killing of stock belonging to the paints, and the poisoning of a spring at Corn Creek, to kill Indians. Another potent reason may have been found in tho excited state of the Mormons at the approach of Albert Sidney Johnston's 1- army, and their intention, after having been driven from Illinois and Missouri, to fight for Utah. On the other hand evidence is adduced to show that the immigrants were orderly and respectable folk ; that they held religious services on each Sabbath, and that i the. poisoning of the spring was a hhcer invention and a physical impossi bilityindeed the Indians at Corn Creek afterwards gave them thirty bushels of corn, tho solitary evidence of kindness that they received in Utah. Theso circumstances impartially re lated, the character of the hostile de monstrations may next be examined. At Salt Lake they were refused pro-1 visions and ordored away. Similar re fusals met, them all along the southern route, and they were summarily driven from the customary camping grounds at at least two . stations, so that they were literally starvinsr in a fertile land, at harvest time, in a season of unusual abundance. Inasmuch as the Mormons were invariably hospitable to such trains, thjs circumstance indicates that the universal hostility towards this train was not .spontaneous, but had its origin in official circles. Indeed we find that George A.-Smith, now first councillor, had preceded the train and warned the Mormons, junior penalty of expoinmuni cation, hot to aid its members! This the Mormons admit, though the motive they declare jto have been that of making preparation for , possible emergencies. At Cora Creek Smith met the train, and when asked advice by its leaders as to ,& 'camping ground, recommended Cane Spring, the spot where they were attacked. - " - The original plan of massacre, as de vised : in council of war at Parowan bv George A. Smith, William H. Dame, ' C.'IIaight and John D. Lee, was an at tack iu Santa Clara canyon, with detach ments beyond to make sure that none broko through, and guards at all. the jg mitiit f 9 m k. Si. fidence oi ''approval or immunity, he cannot be considered wholly free from suspicion. Tho Indians, animated by greed, at tacked the train before it reached Santa Clara canyon, at Cane fr)rng, killing seventeen immigrants and wounding fif teen. This was at daybreak on Monday, September 10, 1857. The immigrants promptly formed a corral and, throwing up earthworks, repulsed the savages, of whom three were wounded, twr mortal ly. These' were taken back; to the camp at Cedar, and by Bishop Bigbee anointed , with the sacred oil on which, in connec tion with prayer and the laying-on of hands, orthodox Mormons depend for the healing , of wounds and curing of diseases. Ah Indian runner brought back the news of the repulse to Cedar, and militia were sent on. Subsequently Lee called for more re-enforcements from Cedar and Washington. Meanwhile William Aden and a companion, who were returning from the train for assist ance and prdyisiiS remmet by Bill Stewart, ."the Avenger," who "tilled Aden while his horse was drinking. The other man escaped. Stewart is still liv ing at Cedar City. The rest may "briefly be itold. The? To Make a Married Couple Happy. Men and women expect . to be happy J when they wed each other.

A wife should dress herself -becomingly whenever she - exr pects to meet her husband's eye. The The other day I went on a wild duck hunt with my interpreter and one guard. We started , early, and, proceeding through the rice fields for some distance crossed a low line of hills lying to the north, and passed up a fertile valley about four miles. Here was a village where the people had mado prepara tions for a grand duck hunt in anticipa tion of our coming. Near by was a small lake, snug among the hills and near the base of the mountain called the "Dragon's Clan." It was a most picturesque place, with a pino grove skirting the margin of the water, and clumps of bushes and reeds scattered along in various places. The entire surface of the lake was covered with ducks, while clouds of them hqvered over the trees and wheeled to Experience of an Indian Fighter.

Forty miles further on the other two messengers were taken i stripped and made to run for their lives; One, wounded sorely, made no effort to escape, and was tortured and burned to death ; the other, though wounded, dis tanced his pursuers. The Vagas Indians whom he met fifty-four miles further od gave him some clothing and food; eight teen miles beyond, at the Cottonwood, two ; Calif ornians,, jthe 'brothers' Young, gave him a horse.

Th4 bodies, one hundred and twerty-seven in Fortune of Singer. Mme. Parepa-Bosa is said to have died worth some $250,000. She was a very thrifty woman, and looked well after the pennies. . I Mme. Nilsson-Bozeaud has certainly not squandered her means, and is reported to have $500,000 invested in stocks and real estate. Miss Kellogg is worth probably $200,000 well invested, and would be worth more if she were not o generous. - She, or her mother, who acts for her, is close at a bargain, but liberal with money after she once gets it. Adelina Patti is extravagant and avari cious, too. She makes a great deal of money, ana - spends a great aeai - as wen. But she has saved a fortune. Mile. Albani is just beginning to make money: so she has not saved any so far. Mr. Gye, howerer, will see that she does not lose anything. Lucca is more like the old-fashioned prima donna. She does not save a penny, though she makes a great many. De Murska, also, is impro vident, j "Adelaide Phillips is poor, through her generosity to her relatives, I am told. Miss Annie Louiso Cary would save if she could only get a little ahead. ' But she is so kind-hearted. Mme. Anna Bishop belongs to the im provident! or rather, unfortunate genera tiorir' She has made fortunes, but only to lose them, and is a poor woman to day. Carl Formes, Mario, Tamberlik, neither have anything left, not even their voices. Of the present generation, Wachtel is well off; so are Santley, Sims, Reeves, Faure, and Niemann. Cam panini saved ; so did Carpi. Capoul didn't, neither did Maurel nor Brignoli, and the tenors and baritones of the second class are poor. Preservation of Timber. For the preservation of timber from decay, so J many and different methods have been introduced, that the best en gineers and constructors appear to be in doubt as to which is on the whole to be preferred.! t It is, however, found that one of the most effective of these curi- ous processes consists iu subjecting the wood to a temperature above the boiling point of water, and below 300 deg. Fah., come with his gun and join in the sport. The men had constructed low mounds of pine branches, resembling Esquimaux huts, along the edge of . the : lake, and at the points most frequented by the fowls. As soon as each one of us got fairly settled, either under a mound or a tree or bush, we began to blaze away at the innocent ducks which lay in thick masses before us. As the first shot echoed among the hills, a myriad of quacking creatures rose in one great cloud from the surface of the water, and for a time the air was completely filled with them. I never before saw such a spectacle; the sky seemed darkened with feather ed fugitives, and the noise made by their wings was like that of a mighty rushing wind. Especially wild was the noise as one flock after another wheeled directly over my head; then they sud denly turned a short curve, their white breasts flashed for a moment in the sun, and the rapid motion of their wings made a breeze like a great fan upon the face. They had not learned yet what the sound of a gun meant, and as no person was to be seen they ere long settled again quietly on the water. Another volley soon started them up again, however, and they rose into the air, leaving many of their dead and wounded companions on the surface of the lake. Now their flight became swift and broken, and as they passed close over our heads we fired mdiscriminately into their midst, causing the flocks to scatter in frightened confusion. The poor things knew not what to do; the lake had always been their quiet home, and they knew not whither to flee. So, as none of their cruel enemies were in sight, down they came again upon the death laden surface of the water. They were completely tired out, and as shot after shot skipped along beside' them, they only "ducked" their heads and remained where they were. The firing continued the whole morning, and the waters around their formerly peaceful retreat were reddened with the fruits of the bloody slaughter. At one time during the day, while somewhat withdrawn from the party, I heard a peculiar " whir:r " of something in the air, and turning quickly saw a bullet strike the bank beside me. A shower of mud was spattered over me, and at a little distance a Japanese man "You must have seen wild times out here!" ' ' " " .l .

The early finishing of the structure is therefore assured, and the work is now progrcasirg with all possi ble rapidity. The last atone of the Brooklyn pier or tower was hud a few days ago the last that can be placed until " the cables are stretched. The tower ' now stands two hundred and seventy-one ' and a hall feet ruga irom the tide level. In the tower, as it stands, there are about 33,000 cubio yards of stone, weighing about 70,000 tons. It is expected that tho New York tower . will bo finished before the end of tho present season. It is over two hundred feet high.
