ANEW MORMON TEMPLE. The Grand and Imposing Structure Being Erected in the Wilder- ness. From the Pioche Record. | The construction of the grand tem- | ple of worship now being erected by the Mormon church at Manti, Utah, is being pushed ahead with aslargea force of workmen as convenience will permit, and the walls of the builiing | are beginning to loom up and are | covered with scaffolding and dericks. | We learn from Mr. W. D. Wilken, who has just returned from a trip out in the Manti country, that the mple is being constructed of white limestone. ‘The building is situated on top of a mountain, a spur of the Wasatch range, that extends out in- to the town of Manti, and is called by the people of Utah the Mountain of the Lord. The foundation of the temple is 63 feet above the level of the road, and is set in solid rock; the top of the mountain having excava- ted and removed, making it level, is 5 feet in width and 172 feet in fouath: From the ground to the square will be 82 feet in height. There willbe iwo towers erected, one at the east and the other at the west corner of the building. The tower at the east corner will be 179 feet in height, while that at the west corner will be 10 feet lower, or 169 feet in height. They are 30 square feet at the base. There are four cerrace walls around the mountain at w the foot of the temple, which will ]) average about 17 feet in height, and f are about goo feet in length, and in all contain about 2,400 cords of rock as at present built, and 55,000 yards of debris has been excavated and hauled away. The stairway from the road to the upper terrace 1s 63 feet, and will contain 132 stone steps, 16 feet in width. The back of the terrace will be filled with rich soil to the top of the stonework, and trees and shrub- bery planted, and the top of the ter- race will be ornamented by neatly dressed and cut stone, and statues will be placed at various appropriate places. The water to supply the temple will be brought in wooden pipes from a spring situated about a mile and a quarter east of the tem- ple, back in the mountains and has a tall of 79 feet to the reservoir, and 100 feet from the reservoir to the lower terrace. The whole side of the mountain is to be planted with trees and flowers. and the crystal stream poured forth by the little spring as it winds its way down the side of the mountain, will travel from root to root, quenching their thirst, thus assisting the trees to pro- duce their foliage in spring, the flow- ers to bloom and the grass to grow. The building of the temple was com- menced five years ago, and has been worked ever since, and it is expect- ed that it will take fully five years yet to complete the building. The building will be fifty teet in height, and the excavation at the east end for the basement is forty-six in depth. Mr. Folsom is the architect, and as to his skill as an architectur- alist, the Mani temple will speak for years after he has passed from the face of the earth. It was President Young’s intention when he ordered the erection of the temple that it should be the grandest and most im- posing structure on the American continent, and all indications point to such being the case. A Troublesome “Double,” From the Washington Post, Dec. 31. Gen. Thomas Ewing of Ohio, who has recently entered upon the practice of his profession in New York, has been greatly annoyed tor some time by a veritable ‘‘double”’ in the person of an individual of the same name, waithont the military prefix, who is the superintendent, or was until quite recently, of the ‘*Robinson’? Mining company of Colorado, now unfortunately col- lapsed. It so happens that when these gentlemen are both in New York, they live at the same hotel— the Fifth Avenue—and ‘‘Gen.”’ Thomas Ewing is in frequent re- ceipt of litters, packages, telegrams, bills and other papers relating to the business Ewing, with which of course the former is untamiliar, and would be very, glad had he never known any- thing. It is especially unpleasant to be thus confounded with his Color- ado namesake, Now that tha “Robinson’’? mine has come to grief. anxious to know whether they are ever likely to see it come out, and Gen. Ewing is not at all ambitious | to figure as the responsible head of the concern. The most remarkable coincidence, however, is that Thom- as Ewing of Colorado mining fame, | and Thomas Ewing, the distii ed soldier, lawyer and politician, are natives of the same county in Ohio, though not relatives and hitherto total strangers to each other. affairs of ‘*Mr.’?

News trom the northwest territory isto the following effect: and well known Indian, who has just died, betore his death made a_ con- fession which entirely cleared up what has a painful mysiery forafull century. Fifty years ago Nicholas G id, a pioneer, took a tract of land situated in what is now been the township ot Beckwith, in the county of Lanark, built a cabin on it, and proceeded to cl away the dense forest standing upon the tract. At that time he had a wife and one small child, a very pretty little girl named Alice. One day Alice did not return from the edge of the clearing, where she had been play- ing with two other children. An alarm was raised, and all the wood- men in the country thereabout joined in a search which lasted for many days, but resulted in no clew to the missing child, and the general ver- dict arrived at by the hunters was that Alice had been carried off and devoured by one of the bears with which the country then abounded. This conclusion seemed to be cor- roborated by the discovery of some clean, small bones afew months afterward in a deep hollow a couple of miles from Garland’s cabin. They were gathered carefully together and buried by the father of Alice near their home. All the people for miles around attended the funeral, which was the first ever held in that section by the whites. The loss of her child and the terrible strain ot thelong suspense and the ghastly discovery subsequently broke down the strong constitution of Mrs. Gar- land, and she died with a broken heart not long after the funeral. Mr. Garland, atter his wife’s death, be- came hardand ascetic, never referred to his trouble, never associated with his neighbors, and has ever since lived a hermit in the cabin he first built. This old indian who died yesterday, however, says he saw Alice on that day, when she was playing with her companions on the clearing, became fascinated with her childish beauty, and carried her away and raised her as one of his owm tamily. When she became mar- riageable she was thoroughly Indian ized, andher abductor managed to have her married to one ot his own sons. She is now living in Bruce county, and is mother of a large family. She has never shown that she had any recclection of her pa- rents or home, and appears to be happy. The dying Indian said that so well had she been cared for that he believed no one could have con- vinced her of her real origin or in- duce her to change her lot, and he added that no one but himself and the sonwho married her made acquainted with her The story is believed to be true, and causes a protound sensation.
