Sines teat eve Which gave 2 serious shock to the nerves of all Mormondon, Srigham Young has been breaking down. Tne movements mate look- ing to the bringing to justice of all tae leaders in the conspiracy, mate their im- pression upon him. His death eads his te sponsibility on earth. Whether it will end in this country the system of polygamy which he and bis adberents have so persia- tently and defiantly maintatnel aad propa- gated in Utah, remains to be seen. Brigham Young was born at Whittingham, Vermont, June 1, 1801, being the son of a farmer. He was educated in the Baptist cburch, and trained as a painter and glazi bul jorned in 1X2 the rmons at Katlant, Ob. and started in 195 on his first mission- ary journey. He was very suecessfal as A Preacher and made many conveits, betng Possessed of a pecniiar but impress ve elo- quence, and at th me time rose to the highest digni and acquirel ar almost boundless intinence within the sect by his energy and shrewines2, and by the power of his personality.

Oy August 29, 1452, he introduecd polygamy asan institution, as the celestial law Of marri and he carried Mt through in spite of considerable resistance from a division of the church itself. Soon, however. the development of the mining iu- terests of the territory and the commercial inierests of Salt Lake City brongnt a great number of people to the lerrilory apd the city who were not Mormons, and their con- trot of the legislation and administration of the territory has been for some time grad- ually weakening with a prospect of passiog cut of the hands of the Mormons altogether ina few years. Itis extremely probable that Mormopvism as @ political wer will die with Young, as it was his vigorous and ag- Tessive Lapent f as its bead which made. it a angerous and threatening power in the land. The Struggle at Shipka Pass. SULEIMAN PASHA’S KEYORT. A dispaich from Suleiman Pasha, dated August 26, detatis the operations up to that day. He says: “The Turks occupied, Alik- ridjebel Heiguts to the left of the enemny’s works threatening their line of retreat on the Ist instant, but the Russians succee ted on Friday in distodging them. [As described by the London Dail, News’ correspondent in bis account of the Shipka Pass ba:tie previ- ously telegraphed to the United States.)

One thousand Russian dead were found when the enemy were driven from Alikridjebel Heights.” Suleiman Pasha telgrephs under date of August 2s as foliows: “Our entrenched line of investment Is only 150 paces fram the ene- my’s fortifications. We still hold potats commanding Alekridjebel Heights. Tne Ras- slans are blockaded on three sides. Every effort Is being made to complete the blo«k- ade by cutting them off from the road to Gabsova.

Lonpon, Aug. °9.—The Times, in a sum- mary of the war. gaye :— For many days the army of the Grand Duke Nicholas has been closing together against Plevna with a view to an attack on that place. The headquarters are reserted to be en the point of moving from Stu ‘en to Tulgarent.”” The Times’ mili- lary correspondent at Bucharest says “there are indications that the blow will fall on Flevna very shortly.” TURKISH PREPARATIONS AGAINST SERVIA.

They obstruct the free interplay aud counter— action of sipply and demand, and aitempi to create @ fictitious value for labor itseif, and all the products of labor. They lay vio- lent hands ou both capital and industry,and adjust their relations in accordave? with some vicious theory of the strikers’ owa hatching, or they bauish both into some r>- gion with more healthful surroundings. They puta premium upon idleness and in- competency by forbidding the superior work- Tan to derive an; 7 advantage from his ry ud Oppress the em- ployer by forbidding him to make his own selection and by forcing slovens and banglers into his service.
