It may never be proved, but the belief will not be weak ened on that account. Not only was the jewelry taken from the immigrants worn by ' the leading Mormons, but Brigham Young used for many years to ride in a carnage taken from the immi grants, with his family and friends, i am afraid the publio here have but little idea how small a chance there is that justice will ever overtake the chief insti gators and leaders of this massacre. The fact is that Brigham Young has defied aud continues to defy the authorities of tht United States. Judge McKean, than whom no sturdier friend, of justice in Utah-ever lived, was deprived o :his of fice at Young's instigation. Judge Boreman, who is presiding over the present trial, is another unflinching de fender of Anferioan law, but should the ease reach the supreme court the other two judgos via.,' David 1 P.

Another victim has been added to the already long list of those who have fallen in what is now widely known In Illinois the Williamson county vendetta," Captain Geo. W. Sisney is, we believe, the eighth whp has perished in conse quence of the protracted- quarrel of the Bussella and the Bulliners, which has kept Williamson county in a ferment for years. An attempt was made to assassi nate Mr, Sisney as early aa 18C9, when he was set upon by the family of Bulli ners and severely wounded, but reoov- erecU. He had no direct connection with the Bussell-Bulliner quarrel, but had in ourred the displeasure of the Bulliners in" oonsequenoe of a lawsuit in which they were defeated. Some time last year a second attempt was made to as sassinate him by shooting from ambush, but the guns in the hands of the would be assassins failed to go off, and he es caped, but recognized one of his assail ants as he ran away. This individual, whose name was Oagle, was indioted for the crime, and we do not know that the case, was ever tried, the enforcement of the law in Williamson county being very lax. Some months after that is to say last fall-rnother and more successful attack was made on Sisney. he being shot by some one from the outside as he sat in his house near a window in the evening. At that time he was severely wounded, and after recovering he rent ed his farm and removed to Garbondale for the sake of greater security. The result shows that he has at last fallen a victim to the bloodthirsty vengeance of his enemies under circumstances almost precisely similar to those whioh came near proving fatal last fall.' Mr. Sisney TIIE GREAT MISTAKE OF HER LIFE. Marshal MaxwelTisanother law-abiding was a native of , Williamson county, and man, who is determined to enforce law was a cantain in an Illinois reoimont and promote justioe or die. But the painful fact is only too trut that no Mor mon has ever yet been punished under the laws of the United States. Mrs. No. 19 believes it impossible that any Mor mon jury snouia ever laitniuliy try a Mormon prisoner. In the endowment house every -Mormon - is made to take a secret and seditious oath, one clause of whioh binds hint to bear eternal hostility to the government of the United States and to avenge the murder of the prophet, Joseph Smith. during the. war, and last year was the Republican candidate for sheriff in Wil liamson county. Both he and Dr. Hinoholiffe the latter being the last vic tim before Mr. Sisney were universally respected. Loss of Life from Flood, Fire, Etc. The loss of human life from flood, fina, earthquake, etc, during the past six months has been very great. The following shows the loss, so far as the facts and figures have been published: By flood, in Toulouse, France, 21S (and probably more, these figures represent ing only the bodies 'found); from measles in the Fiji islands. 60.000 : by A Wmwi WTk Bad VBanUMed Gd Jadmeal la BreryUuK BxeeM la Cheealaa a Ilaakaad, A local correspondent of the Boston SYamcript, writes in this strain, : I hap pen to know a woman, now more wan sixty years old, who was taken from an honorable business avocation, in whioh she had been eminently sucoeesfnL to become a wife. Like many others of her sex, she was mistaken in her hus band not that he had what are called vioes. for of these he had none. He neither drank gambled, nor frequented clubs, nor had he any immoral proclivi ties. But he did not believe that a wife should know anything of her husband's business affairs, which idea also compre hended that he did not believe aha could understand them 1 ' The truth that he did not know his wife. , It hap pened, however, that he went to her whenever his affairs became desperately .straitened, and, by means of her severe economy, often managed to extricate himself. Onoe when he Had foolishly exhausted his income in building addi tions to old houses, or in expensive re pairs for exacting tenants, for which his bills came in fast, she patiently showed him how to manage certain investments, proposing to take stores in lieu of those absorbing houses a successful change. She gave up valuable servants, and exe cuted an amount of work with her needle which seemed almost incredible, besides drilling in raw people at low wages to take partially the place of those she felt obliged to relinquish. Uhe instituted a kind of domestic economy, than whioh nothing could be mora admirable and praiseworthy. And yet. with all this, she never gained her husband's . regard or confidence. He would come to her to get him out of his " tight plroes," as ho drawer of water ' in my husband 'shonee; .. when I wanted to be his true and faith ful partner, lightening his cares and aid ing him by service and counsel." This, man cherished the idea, that no woman . had a right to know her husband's at-- fain. This is what many a man has said; but when the downfall comes, the poor woman has to submit to it, and to bring all her waning energy, even in old age, to bear, and, if possible, to im prove the bad result,'.; The 8tory of a Robber Chief, When In Albania Olive Harper wont to visit a robber chief, dined with him, and tells the story as follows: After the meal was ooncluded, Vasile Carabas rose to go, and making a low bow to me, and taking a fold on my linen traveling dress and pressing it to his hps, he begged I would not think quite so hardly of him aa ouiers oio, ana ne oeggqa me wi vu oept, as a slight token of his pleasure in having seen me, a beautiful diamond ring. I somehow could not make up my mind to do so (or perhaps required a little more urging), and so I coupled my refusal with a request for one of the sil ver buttons he had on his jacket Ho out it off and gave it to me with apleased smile, and, with the other hand, throw the ring away as-far aheoould. I will confess that I waa just a little sorry I hadn't taken it, for it is a pity to waste diamonds like tears. We were soon on our way again, and it was dark; The old captain told mo the history of the robber ehief. Some years ago he had a position in society as the only son of wealthy and respectablo father, and was himself respeoted8 a young man of courage and intelloot.
