" - - , j - h I To-morrow niybt Mrs. Sleuhouse, who fur many years lived in Mormomiom, will lecture ill tbe Assembly Chamber, on the nlove sulject. Tbis ladv lived iu Utah at the time of the massacre, when Brikum Young held the appciui mrnt of Federal Governor of tbe Terri tory and Mormon fanaticism Lad reached its culmination. Tbe ignorant Saints looked npon Brighara as the Prophet of the Lord, whose word was law, and whose every act was sanctioned by tbe Most High. A religious frenzy perva ded tbe minds of the Saints, whose ha tred of the Gentiles was kept at fever heat by the harangues of tbe Prophet and bis Apostles. A war with the Federal government was imminent, and in every county in Utah military companies exist ed, whose officers were .c&tleg, bishops or elders in the church Two emigrant trains, one from MisssE ri, the other from Arkansas, arrived iu the Territory at this time, and took the southern route from Utah to California, their des. tination. lney were short of pro visions, and the necessary supplies were refused them in the Mor mon settlements. They camped at Mountain Meadows to recruit their stock before starting ncrMs the deserts which separate Southern Utah from California. By preconcerted arrange ments they were besieged by Mormons and their allies, the Indians, and cnt off from water, suffered unheard of agonies for three or fonr days, many of their number who ventured beyond the pro tection of their wagons having been shot down by the relentless besiegers, who lay concealed in tbe bnshes. While in this dire extremity a company of white men bearing a whits flag was observed approaching from the Mormon settle ments. Their presence was bailed with joy, and tbe confidiDg emigrants looked npon them as friends indeed. The com pany wag commanded by Elder John D. Lee. who pretended to act as mediator between the supposed Indians and the emigrants. He advised the latter to sur render their arms, upon the pretence that the besiegers would accede to no other terms, and promised them safe convoy to the settlements. This was reluctantly agreed to by tl emigrants. Tbe women and children, aged and wounded were then placed in the wagons and started in the direction of tbe settle ments, the men marching behind be tween two files of Mormon militia, wbe at a signal from tbe commander, fell upou the unarmed emigrants and butch ered them in cold blood. Children were snatched from the arms of their mothers. and their brains dashed oat against the wagon wheels. The story of tbis unpar alleled massacre ia told in detail with many interesting facts concerning Mor monism, not generally known outside of tbe church. STARTLING KEW8 FK9H VKNl'S. (From the Boston Glo". .) When the astronomers packed up the implements of their trade and started for the other side of the world to observe the transit of Venus, it was supposed that tbe results of their observations would be of the most harmless kind. Nobody expected any startling announce ments affecting tbe ultimate destiny of the human race, but supposed that the astronomers were to do some of their fi guring to obtain what they call their data for the figuring, the sum and substance of the whole thing being a resetting of the universe and more accurate under standing of heavenly situation generally. But according to the special information of t . New York World, tbe Oik of the astronomers has a more thrilling aigni- finace than we had any reason to expect. It is said that they have found that the distance of the earth from the sun is act ually dimishing, and that if it keeps on at the present rate our planet will plunge into the great luminary of the solar sys tem in about 1,440 rears. Now.this is an unpleasant prospect for tbe I ople who mar be residing on this earth at this remote date, and it seems, to. like rather an ignominious ending ot tbis great experiment; does indeed seem, an time to be almost a failure and possibly it has been determined to give it np and to dipose of tbe material in his quiet but summary fashion. If, however as it is claimed by philosophers of an optimist turn of mind, the race is steadi ly improving and come on toward mr- fection, the inhabitants of the earth in the thirty-second century ought to be a pretty respectable set of people and it teems rather bard katt they should be aoomea to circulate about in close pro ximity to tbe san, upon on s hnge spit, it were, and be ereadnallr roasted ont of existence. If tbe earth ware at this plicatrd difficulties ont of which the wnv seems very tl. It unuhl settle K-lloyg iiriil tbe I.nniiana trouble in, perlinps, tbe most satisfactory nuiiii er that conkl be devised. It would relieve t:s from tbe necessity of any fnrtber consideration of tbe infallibility of the loie or tbe wis dom of Bismarck's policy. It would put an end to all scliisms and controversies in church and State, and make fnrtber contributions for missionary enterprises unnecessary, tipnin and t nba would be rut out of their misery, trance would. at last find a place suited to ber tem perament and all the nations of the earth would have their broils extingnised in one bnse and oVcisive broil that would leave no trace behind. But this sudden solution of terrestrial difficulties is not do be. so far as we are at present advised. Tbe process is to be a gradual one, and it will be made hot for the people, when it is to be presumed mat mey win in a mtasnre have out lived the troubles and sorrows and sins of this unripe era. If tbis annouceroent should be verified, it will fill us with an xiety for the fenerations to come, albeit for ourselves the prospect will not be so terrible. In these January days when colds and inflnenza and pneumonia, and all the ills that our rude climate inflicts upon ns, are almost universal, we take comfort in the notion that we are draw ing nearer to the central warmth; but as the ages pass on, we see in fancy the effects of the increasing heat, and have a feeling of pity for the swelterinc popula tions of the earth. The eternal ice and snow of the poles will break in pieces and dissolve, and the open polar seas will become a favorite r- ort of navipn tors. Substances which now are liauid will become psseons. and solids will turn to fluids. Tallow and wax will have to be used in lamps, and lead will flow down the monutains in ponrine streams Ice will be at a trf mentions premium, and hot drinks at the discount. But it is to be presumed that tbe constitution of men will adjust itself to tbe changed condition of things, and tbat boiling water will become a grateful drink, and 5(1(1 decrees in the shade will be endur able temperature. Yet the equilibrium of tLings must be sadly deranged. When the n;o a's begin to liquify and shrivels in the ardent rays of the sun. what will the people do for tbe matrial for railroad and steamboats. When the occean boils like a pot and fills the heaves with va por, will not navigation be interrnpted. And when at last, the earth draws near its ultimate doom and combustible sub stances begin to take fire and conflAgra tions break forth spontaneously and tbe world takes to smoking at every pore, it will be intensely disgreeable to live. i hirtr-oeeond century people hnve onr heart-felt sympathy, though possibly the rest of us may at that ime be still worse off. There is one ray of hope in the terrible prospect. enuswss never famous for her virtnes. and possibly she lies, or it may be that Ibe calculations of Encke a hundred years ago were at fault, aad that we are not 7.000.000 miles nearer he sun now than then. It is barelv possible that more accurate communica tions may sbo that we are not Bearing the sun and u imately destined to serve as met to seep its names going. At all events, we may find comfort in the idea that enus, wbotel s tbis fea Tul storr. will reach the bonfire fJL, and like the messenger of the old Errptian despots. suffer s fearful fate for being tbe bearer of bad tidings. Anvbow, we of the present day are safe, and need not feel troubled en our own account. Let ns keep cool while we can. Change cf Base !
