They have lived there, and their fathers and grand fathers before them. Every man knows everything about his neighbor's affairs; how much land he has, when he was married, his wife's pedigreo, and his religion and polittes for years back, A stranger of filteen yecars' residence is a suspicious character, but may some day hope to huve his children admitted to the full fellow- ship of the placa. The village grocery 15 the point of central interest, and aside from current marriages and deaths, and how the diflerent neigh- bor's acted before and after it is a never failing subject of interest. Newspapers are almost unknown, save an oocasional weekly, Books are avoided, save one, and that book they know from cover to cover. From Genesis to Revelations the Bible is at their fingers’ ends. They are vory kind to each other, and a pleasanter and quieter little neighbornood can- not be found in the state of Kentucky. All this was before the memorable April night in 1880, when two men, with words of peace upon their lips, came to preach unlawful doctrines and to break up forever the peace of the quaint littie village of Huntaville, and this is how I learned the history of its misfortunes. wer Rowland, who is also the village postmaster, a eturdy, sjuare set man, told the reporter how one fearful stormy night in 1880, he dis- remembered whether in April or May, two strange men came among them and asked for shelter. ‘They were Mormon elders. A few days after- ward they stirred around the neigh- borhood, and after a bit they began to preach at Union chapel. We didn’t mind them much at first, as they talked only about being good, and not drinking and swearing and things of that kind, Then we found out that they were saying bad things about our women folks, saying that our wives were not married to us, and we would have to be married again. We put them out of Union chapel, and they went around from house to house preaching in public what was good, but telling the folks in private that they ought to believe in polygamy, and all that. They have kept this up now for mighty near two years, and we are growing desperate, They have brought all sorts of trouble into our families, and have ruined the peace of this whole neighborhood. Some others can tell you more than I can,” and Mr. Rowland leaned back in his chair and relapsed into silence. Another old farmer the 'Squire told about, Dr. Alex. Hunt, who was the first convert, and who had done more than any one else to spread Mormon- ism, He studied medicmne a year at Louisville, and then wherever he practiced he preached Mormonism, and he also gathered crowds of the most ignorant in fence corners and preached the corrupt gospel to them. He argued with his women patients and many of them were goon ruined by his persuasions, ““The doctrine he preached around to our young men and women," said the 'Squire, ‘‘that they may live together loosely, and, as they are saints, nothing bad will come of it, Our young girls are told that it amounts to nothing in Utah, and should not here. The result of this preaching is frightful.” A Methodist preacher then told of a strange tale he had heard when he was last at Muhlenberg: “One evening after sunset two strangers, Mormon elders, knocked at the door of a widow and said they were Mormon elders and wanted lodging. ‘T am a lone widow, she said, ‘and I have no man about my premises, You will have to go olse- iere,” The Mormons looked again 1 walked 1, saying: ‘We will en- cor, for the spirit moves us to enter, Then they down, The woman tanother door ranover to a neighbor's and narrated to him what had happened, He scized his ehot- gm and went back, The Mormon eldors were seated at the fire, but they ross when he entered, Ho pointed the gun at their heads and eaid: ‘You chaps git." But they said: “Tho spirit moves us to stay.” Then he said: ‘And I tell you if you don't leave in two minutes the spirit will move me to blow your brains out, ” “‘They got up and left.” f “Ever since the Mormons have been here they have brought trouble with our women folke,” said another, Alex, Tompking was a Mormon sym- pathizer who came from Tennessee, He struck up an intimacy at once with the handsome wife of a young farmer, George Meffort. Soon Towmpkins be- gan to say the spirits moved him to live with the woman, and he made threats to kill Meffert if he did not give her up to him, Metlort became excited and bloodshed was looked for between the two men, They met once but were parted before any blood was spilled, One evening, however, ‘Tompkins, full of rum, started towards Meffert to enforce his claim., George was chopping wood, They quarrelled and Tompkins reached for his pistol. It was a fatal move, Meffert sprang at him with the axe and made one sat id | mona contimning theie presching, de loss, staggered off. Meffert followed men. him, the axe fell again and again, and (three girafles and four (olada apes to pieces. Metfert then left the coun- | try and went to Texas, where his wifo soon jowned him, and | he balirvad hee innocent. The Mor- | bauchtig the women, aud putting in decent and obscure pictures on the walls, the peoplo at last determined to the Mormon elders and their | plos. Farty tally armed men met | 1o evening not long ago, determined preserve the peace of the neighbor- wod, The Mormon preachers, wh | ad by this time been reinforced by two others from Utah, were a mile or | more distant from town, and had a | little band gathered around them. | At first they determined to fight, | and a bloody battle sec imminent, but they finally thous better of it, disbanded their forces, | and ma long detour round th town. They have not been seen near Hunteville since, but are expected back at any time, Tha vigilance com mitteo disbanded without doing any thing. Bel they loft, Loe Jenkin one of the ¢ Mormons, yell.d CIf there is any Mormon here, let him hold up his hand.” Randal Vaughn held his hand up. Inan in stant Jenking stretched him out, and if cooler men had not interfered I would have been trampled to death Some of the converts were yery simple, indeed, and took what the elders told thom as true without the | least suspicion of adoubt, Sever f| the women wore naturally very quick | and intelligent. It would take col i urans to teilall these peoplehave to say of Mormonism. Families are broken | up everywhere, Dr. Alick Hunt's two sons, William | and Henry, aro nearly crazy on ac- count of their father's Mormonism And 8o it runs, Fathors separated from sons and mothers from children Worse than all is the emigration which is going to take place next fall, when all the Mormons are going to leave. It is no wonder that the peo- ple aro nearly wild. If the wife be a Mormon and the husband not, she will have to leave him to go to Utah and lead a life that it is mild to call prostitution, Just forty years ago Mormons camp ed at Huntsville once before. They took away with them then a great many of the best people. They got old Alee Hunt to sell his land and go with them. accompanied him, and he had $2,500 with him. They first took his daugh ter from him, next his wife, and then Ins money. The old man got blind at last, and started to wander home. He died over there in Illinois, a blind beggar The Mormon preachers are expected back in n woek or two., If they come there will be some lynching done, as the people throurh all the neighbor- ing counties are desperate. If no drive out d ti other law will protect them they will | have to regort to mob law.

New York Sun, Although six giraffes were led through the streets of Hoboken on Thursday, the people who thronged the thoroughfares had but few oppor- tunities to judge of the true appear- ance of the beasts. They were just from Africa, and were very wild, On the street no two were at all alike ex- cept in regard to the strap on each one’s head, and the man haunging on to it. Tt was impossible to say which gide of the street any one of them was on at any moment, An in- stantaneous photograph would have shown one fixed like a civil engincer's tripod with a man tugging at it, an- other leaping along tugging at its man, another striking out in all di- rections like a Chinese firework, still another pirouetting round and round like a lady at a ball, and one or two more apparently on their heads with their feet at thai altitude that their heads usually attain. They were fol- lowing a truck, on which were laden a full-grown cow antelope, an eland and a baby hippopotamus, and behind which, much against tLeir will, two clephants were being at time tugeed along by means of a ropo tied to the vehicle, and at other times urged on by a negro who whipped them with a rawhide and evoked as much dust from their back as if he wero beating a couple of long neglect- ed rags. Apparently 1,000,000 child- on accompanied the procession, and clambered over the walls and fences henever one of the « or a fle was more than usually domon rative, DBohind all these, and form- ing 0 separate procession, there fol- lowed four ostr 8, three baby lions, a leopard, itali, five apcs, nine Lan a8 baboons, five wart hogs, sixty small monkeys of various sorts, a gant poreupine and armumber of muskeats, lynxes, swans, peacocks and innumerable sma!l birds. They con- stituted the largest importation of Af- rican quadrupeds and Bipeds ever landed here, and were consigned to the Messrs, Reach of New York and | and hear as no other animal can and | quickly. His wife and daughter |, During the Atlantic vogage One of these apes was as Iarge as a man of ordi- na size. The others are large beasts, and each hasa mantlo of silken black hair of the sizo and shape of a achman’s cape, Theit teeth are as arge as the little finger of a man, and each has & bare bright red spot on its breast the shape of a heart and the size of & tomato can, They aro the first of their kind to visit this coun- try. Nearly evergbody in Hoboken wit nessed the landing of the animals, The elephants, although the werman longshoremen were familiat with them and called them *‘Chumbo, protested against quitting the ship, and ran back into the cage that they woro swung down in after they reached the pier. Tho ostriches wrig led and scrambled and tumbled about wildly in mid-air, and the riratfos shed tears from fright, The thousand birde, however, in their darkened cagee, sang loudly as the lervick swung them over the ship's T'ho baby hippopotamus showe concorn at all, but_slept through ull but the jolting of the cart. Ho is the sixth seventh hippopotamas that has come here. Reiche's hunters say that the hippopotamus and rhin coros are the most diflicult animals No beast guards it youne as the hippepotamus does. It oan seo to catch is hunted ovly in the water. The hunters have to shoot tho parent’s first, aud then must harpoon the babies, 1f they can they harpoon the young in the floshy part of the hind- Quarters. Tho wounds there heal If the harpoon enters any- where else the animal bleeds to death. The throe-year-old hippopotamus that Barnum has was captured two min- utes aftor it was born, but all tho others, including the fat and stupid brute that was landed from the Bro- men steamship Habsburg on Thurs- day, bear upon their flanks the scar of the harpoon. This load formed less than half of the caravan of wild beasts that resulted from this year's hunt. The rest will follow soon. or Farmors and Mo- chanios.

A drove of 150 goats accompanied thew, and when their milk gave out their flesh ed as food for the lions, leopards and negroes, The steamship at Sua- kin lay out in the stream, and the ani- mals were taken to it in flat-boats, A lion broke loose and frightened the other animals so that two giraffes, an antelope and three ostriches leaped overboard and were lost.
