Mormon Apostaeies.
• Brigham has not been able to lead
all who., have embraced the MOrmon
faith. There. have been a great in Lny
apostates. In a conversation with R w.
Mr. Foots an Episcopal elergyin se)
here, he *admitted that fifteen out of
every twenty of the original American
Mormons -have apostatized.1 George A.
Smith, the historian of the church, said
fire out of every, six Americans had
•turned back. Foreigners • are more
faithful.
• The first •general apostacy was in
1852, hinder Bishop Gladden, who,
while -holding on to the doctiires of
the Book of Mormon, condemned poly-
gamy
Brigham preached a sermon ii
March, 1853, front 'which we take the
following sentences :
In 1863, began the apostacy of the
Josephites under the leadership of
Joseph Smith, Jr., sera of the rekophet.
Re hair set up the Mormon Church,
East. He is not in the territory and
his followers are leaving it. In 1864,
three hunilred left the territory under
an escort furnished by Gen. Conner:
It is estimated that not leas than 1,500
have left in all. They accept the Book
of Mormon, the Bible, believe in con-
tinued revelation, are loyal to- the Unit-
ed States and tothe laws: The follow-
ing extract from their articles of faith
will show how they regard Brigham
Young and his doe-air:Les :
"When a man cornea right out like
an independent devil, and says 'd
MOrtnonisne and all the Mormons,' and
is Off with himself to California, I say
he is a gentleman, by the side of a
iaasty, sneaking anostate, who is opposed
to nothing but 'Christianity. % '6 %
Now, you Gladdeni-Ws, keep your
tonguewlitill, lest _sudden destruction'
come upon,you I say, rather than that
apostates. snould flourish here,. I will'
einsLeath my bowie knife and conquer
or die." ' •
The secondapostacy was commenced
in 1860. Joseph Morris. felt himself
inspired anA made a.'revelation, and set
up a new Church. • In the course of
three *months he had five hundred.,
These followers of Morris refused to
train ia the Nauvoo legion, were fined•
their property tr ken and confiscated to
the church. The fines and costs amount-
ed to $60 per individual. They had a
settlement on Weber river, north of
, Salt Lake, wEere in the spring
1862, they seizedl a load of flour and
the than, driving the team, "and held on _
the property and the man, demanding
• isatis'action and a . proper 'adjustment
and'abatement of the fi tes, • :
Brigham . went •to judge Kinney,
• IT: S. Judge obtained writs of habeas
corpus, sent the Sheriff, • Robert T.
Burton, with a thousand men of the
Naetvoo legion and five pieces of .artil-
lery te wipe out the Morrisites and put
down the apostacy.
The Morrisites showed fight,—Bur-
ton opened upon them with his Cannon,
—there. was some musket firing,—two
of the legion and -several of the Mor-
iisites killed, when the latter surren-
dered. Burtonrode into the settlepent
and found Morris, pulled his'yeiotver
and• shot him dead,—turned round, -saw
Morris' chief follower,. Banks, 'killed
him with a second shot. Mrs. Bow-
man said, "You blood -thirsty wretch."
"No one shall say that and live," re-
• plied Barton, and shot her through the
heart. .
A Danish woman-mide a wild out-
cry at such atrocity, when Burton blew
her brains out. •
Yet this man is the present Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue in this city.
- The prisoners were plundered, every-
thing taken,--clothingwatches, jew-
• ellery, cattle, wagons, furniture,—and
confiscated to the church. '
• They were .br?ught to Salt Lake City,:
placed under bonds by -Judge 1.1nney'
for appearance at court, were tried,
fined and imprisoned.
• Gen. °mirror came soon after, estab-
lished a military post 175 miles north
of 'Salt Lake, gave notice to all pet-
s�ni who wished to go that they co..ld
have an escort and _transpurtation.
Eighty families put theniselves under
his protection , and are now. in Idaho
•Territory, beyond • the jurisdiction of
Brigham Young. So ended the •qor-
monite apostacy.
THE SgAFoTt.TH EXPOSITOR..
IF. YOU WANT A
P OUCH!
-"We trelieve that the,church in Utah
u ider the erresidency of Brigham
Yqung, has apiistatized from the true
order of the gospel.
"We believe .that the doctrines of
polygamy, h urnanitticrifice, or il ling of
men to save their Borth, :Adam being
God, Utah being Zion, or the gathering
place for the saints, are doctrines' of
'devils. instituted by wicked men for
ihe acconiplishment of their own lust:
tui desires *tad a viem to their own per-
sonal aggrandizement
"We believe in 'being true and loyal
to the Government, of the United
..•,:tates, and have no sympathy or fel-
1)wship for the treasonable practices
ard wicked abomiutr.tions ii.dorsed by
13righani Young and his followers."
The Daily Reporter published here is
the organ of the Josephites.- The edi-
tor has lately received threatening let-
zers—one containing :the picture of a
gallows and himself hanging by the
neck. He was publicly threatened by
Brigham at the late conference meeting.
SPREAD OF MORMONISM.
The Desert News for the week has a
column of missionary intelligence,
front which we learn that during the
latter half of last year and the first
half of 1868, '3,4•35 were baptized into
the church in England'; that great suc-
cess had attended the Swiss mission,
and that tile .prospect abroad never Was
so great as now.
It may oe'set down that the natural
increase:in. the Territory, with emigra-
tion, will add about 12,000 to the
Mormon population. -during the present
year—or 1,000 a month. Brigham
with good reason- may boast that
.Mormonism, instead of dying out has
increased never so fase as the present
time: •
The Patron Saint of Ireland.
• St. Patrick himself is said to have
been born at Tours, and to have been
carried a slave to Ireland while very.
young. He managed to escape, but
•could not return as a missionary till he
was sixty years old, passing an equal
number of ,years in the country, during
which he founded 365 chit•rches, ordain-
ed as many bishops, and 3,000 priests.
He was buried at Downpatrick, where
his grave, on which nothing but grass
and the shamrock can grow, is held
rnost sacred. Al -out a mile and a -half
off is the Struell Well. iSt. Patrick
and St. Bridget ore day were walking
together, when St. 1 Bridget fee:Mg
thirsty, expressed her doubts whether
her companion could do what Moses
did in the,wildermss-2provide a mira-
culous supply of water. On that St.
Patrick struek St. Bridget on the the
foot; the blood that issued was chang-
ed into water, and the -stream has been
running ever since. St. Patrick had a
wonderful cow, the bones end one of
the horns of. which ,were disco:ered at
Ardpatrick. Or. one occasion its calf
was stolen, and the cow made a large
double trench from Cashel to Ardnore
whilet going in search of it. The
Saint's staff Was carried from Armagh
t Christ -Church Cathedral at Dublin,
and burned in 1508. It was at that
hurch that Lambert Simnel was crown
ed as Edwaid VI., the crown uSed on
the occasion being borrowed front the
Statue of the Virgin in a neighboring
church. There is a very ancient bell
in existence which may, •wititout any
great stretch of imagination, be. sup-
posei to have been the identical bell of
•St, Patrick, which Colgan tells us,
when toiled as a preventative against
evil spirits and magicians, was beard
from the Giant's Causeway to Cape
Clear, an.cl.from the Hiil of Howth to -
the vvestern shores of Connemara. No
wonder, with such implements at hand,
the Saint bauished all reptiles from
Ireland. Irish soil was considered a
Sure preservative agamst vermin of all
sorts, and. the naoundetin which Cocker-
mouth Castle, -in Cumberland, was
built, was brought from Ieeland under
that impression.—Cornhill Magazine.
• THE 'Local" begs to tender an expression
aids gratitude to Dr. J Briggs the Chiro-
podist, for having relieved him of a corn,
which people in a crowd had an ugly habit
of treading Upon. It was of no use what-
ever, except as a natural bareraetor, for it
always made considerable" leaping before a

but its absence will not be regretted. The
operation was quick, painless ani was not

will find that Dr. Briggs is the mannfor their
money.—Laztelph Mercury. ' -•

The Invention of Colt'a Revolver.
The'Louisville'etiregs is responsible
for the following CurIoUS story ni re-
ference to the invention • of the pistol
wbieh goes by the name of "Colt're-
volver." If the story is not true'it is
at all events ingeniously •devised to
bear the sem blence of truth, but it is
imply given hear as a curiosity.:
There are people in Tennessee, who
will tel you a einem story about the
way in which the late Colonel Colt in
vented the iepeater ehich bears his
name, and which enitilled him to leave
a widow with an in Iona r,ofne.Lrly $400,
000.- They say that some tweni y -five
years ago ginirnitbfiorn Fayetteville
in that State sw(-nt to Nashville in
search of employment, and as he was a
skilful workman and a sober, and in-
dustrious man, he. soon found something
to do in one of the shops there He
was what the we] 1J calls 'a good, easy
fellow,' always at work, and always
poor, wasting most of his time upon in-
ventioes of bis 'own, scree of which
were worthless, and some of which
lacked Perseverance and the means
o complete and introduce to the public
Among -the last nataeu was a repeating
_ .
pistol, a model of which he had madeat
Fayetteville and brought with him: to
Nasbville._ had never had ib pat -
tended; for te enty oe twenty-five years
ago it wk -..s far giore troublesome to pre -
cure a petent-fdr anew • in-Yention thao
it is in onr day, iaventors in obscure,
knowing little or nothin
about the process by which patentistaro
obtained:
Workingin the same shop -eith
our Fayettiville grinsmitlitaVasei raring
journeyman ` from • Connectieut named
Colt. The new-fangled pistol was
drawn from the inventors trrink once
and exhibited to the workmen.'- C'elt
'tbok a glod look at iy examining it
with the greatest of carp ; but like the
shrewd y. nkee he was, said nothing as
to its,merits. In a few days Mr. Colt
threw up his situation in the Nashville
shop and retie tied to his netive Stele.
Nothing more was hearkl af him until
he turned rip as inventor and patentee
of Colt's repeater --the indentical re -
pea tor the Faeretville guesmith
exliibi-
ted to him in Nashville.
"This -is tlie story they tell in- Ten,
nessee. We do not vouch for the
truth of it, though we think it likely
that it might very safely be done. Colt
died a millionaire, le kving a wile and
seven children to mourn his loss and
rejoice in his genius, and 10 enjoy an
income of $397,000. The Payettiville
gunsmith may or may not have starved
to death. If he did not, it was bcause
it.is itied always has been impossible to
starve in so plentiful a country as Ten-
nessee.
• Wonderful Power of the Whale
•
If the whale knew its own power, he
-would e wily destroy all the machinery
the art of man could devise fer catch-
ing him ;it would be only neccessary
for him to swim on the sm.-face in a.
straight line, in order to, break the
thickest rope but instead, on being
struck by the harboon, he obeys a
natural instinct, which in this instance
betrays him to his death. Sir HuM-
phrey Davy, in his "Salmonia," ob-
serves that the whale, 'not having an
air bladdtr, can sink to the lowest
depths of the meat., and mistaking the
harpoon for the teeth of the swordfish
or shark ; he instantly descends, this
being his manner of freeing himself
from these enemies., who cannot bear
the pressure of a deep ocean ; and trom
ascending and descending in 'small
space, he thus puts himself in power of
the whaler. If we includethe pressure
of tbe atmosphere, a body at the depth
of 100 feet would sustain that of sixty
pounds on the square inch ; while out
of 408 feet, a depth by no means con-
siderable, would be exposed to a pres-
sure of 1830 pound& We need not,
therefore, feel surprised that on the
foundering of a ship at sea, though its
timbers part, not a spar floats- to the
surface, for if the hull was sunk to a
great depth, all that is porus is penetra-
ted with water, or is greatly compressed.
Scoresby states that by entangling the
harpoon, a boat was carried' down by
the whale, it required *after it was re
covered, two boats to keep it at the sur-
face. Soon as the whale dives after being
wounded, it draws out the line or cord
f the harpoon, -which is coiled- Up in
the boat with very considerable ve-
locity. In order therefore, to prevent
any accident from the violence a this
-
motion, which might set the side of the
boat on fire, one man is stationed with
an axe to cut the rope asunder if it
should become entangled, while another
_furnished with a mop, is conetantly
cooling with water the channel through
whichitpasses.---The' World of Won-
ders.

cess in life iz very apt tow make ns for-
