Anna Dickinson's LecturG

AT INDIANAPOLIS LAST NIGHT.

TIIIUI!I« P1CT»

INDIANAPOLIS, March 8,

renowned as "a lecturer, traveler and philosopher," and held in special veneration by the champions of "Woman Rights," as one whose fine intellect, rare culture, pure life and many personal attractions have lent force and dignity to "the wctt&an movement," lecture0*to an immense audience, composed of our best citizens,

the Academy of Music, this

evening. It is not supposed that male readers of the EXPRESS will care for details as to the dry goods, millinery and jewelry which figured on this occasion, but the ladie* will be gladjto |pdi^ge Jn a glance at

THE PERSONNEL

Of the lecturer. To them we give the momentous fact that "Gently ^Witf' a heavy black drew, made up in fasliionablestyle, with the inevitable pannier, and a trail that swept the floor. The dress was ornamented on the sleeves and body with white silk cord, and in front were eleven white silk buttons abouttlie sijsejpf nickels. The throat was imr^erfc^tTkat it was encircled by a black velvet band sustaining a glittering jeweled Maltese cross. The skirt was full, well puffed out behind, and two black tags, trimmed with white cord, hung from the back, of the waist, like the folded wings of a wasp, or a somnolent angel. The 'feet of the lecturer, which are small and well shaped, were encased' in a pair of neat and ele gant bombazine gaiters, and white cotton stockings. A large lace collar set ofT the raven hue of her dress, and she wore a gold chain about ten inches long, one end of which was held by a gold clasp in the black waist-belt, while the other disappeared at the seventh button of the bosom—whither we couldn't follow it, except in fapcy, to ascertain whether it was attached to a watch or an amulet.

In height, Misa.Dickinson is rather under the medium-rslightly inclined .to the dumpy. The best description we have ever seen of her sketches her,thus: '"'She has good square shoulders, broad hips, a full, round bunt, a suljstruitial |afad well turned ankle, and a large, round, intellectual head—the latter covered with bountiful crop of black, glossy hair, cut nearly as short as a man's, and inclined to curl. Her forehead is broad, smooth and intellectual eyebrows dark-brown, widearched, even, and overhanging a pair of eyes of dark hue, brilliant and expressive The nose is thick and strong, the chin long and powerful, with a masculine appearance, betokining a woman of strong will and great endurance. Complexion clear, and inclined to be auddju„. The. face is that of one who feels able to grapple with the worlds and bid defiance to opposition. The hands are a tritle large, but well shaped. On the third linger of the right hand appeared a ring with a dark oval seal of rather formida bledimensions on the first linger of the left hand a solitaire diamond ring on the third finger a cluster diamond ring, and on the little linger a plain gold ring. The mouth of the lady is of prdinary size the nether lip is inclined to pout, while the upper one is given to stiffness. Her teeth are white, even and broad, and appear to be sound and free from plugs •and aches. Her waist is short, round,and of natural size, not having been much squeezed by corsets or other appliances.'

Miss Dickinson ha£ a strpng, "clear, pleasant voice. She speaks on an unobstructed platform, without table or desk, presenting a full length view to the audience. She gesticulates exclusively with the right hand, the left resting, palm outward, upon the angelic wings before mentioned, suspended from the back of her waist. In speaking she makes her lips do their duty, and opens her mouth to let the words have free passage. Occasionally a smile responds to the applause of the audience, and at such times she looks beautiful and womanly. She spoke to-night for nearly an hour and a half.— Her utterance is rapid, and she had no notes before her, having thorough* committed her lecture to memory,

Having thus imperfectly photographed Miss Dickinson we will attempt to place before the reader a few

Miss Dickinson thinks that no intern gent person can go into that Territory with eyes to see and ears to hear and comprehention to understand, without realizing that the magnet that holds this people together, and the chain that binds them fast, is this one man this one. mat, who possesses that rarest of commodities f—brains, and that infinitely rarer faculty, knowledge how to use them the head

True, some Command may be pronounced, some order given to which his faithful followers are inclined to complain, and at once BrigJiam sYoung^oer, prophet, iappirer ofth$ Church, lias a revelation direct from

At the head of one of these districts is one of .these most intelligent tools, who at the same time has a position as civil magistrate, judge of elections and military officer and bishop in the church thoroughly well* informed, as absolnte in spiritual matters as any Catholic priest could be at the confessional, a civil magistrate, a judge of election. Under this man's eye lies what is known as the book of the cfis&r&i Therein if entered tl»e name of each man,, woman and child in the district in which he has control, be sides tlie names and numbers. It is for use and reference in a score of ways, so as toTeep every inhabitant in the district continually under the supervision of his spiritual chief, and principally of service at election

SUFFRAGE.

Upon this-^ubject, Miss Dickinson re marked that in Utah everybody votes, but so far its any .good or benefit is to be derived therefrom, every individual man or woman might as well forever be deprived of the ballot. The. vote is cast by ballot, but with the rest of the defects of an open vote one candidate, that of Brigham Young the ballot—stamped within, one word—*-"For," or "Against without, .the number* of.iheman*who easts jt.--»rhis ballot is taken from .the box, apd,»'ith the number on the ballot, corresponding with ihe number of the voter, the Judge on the instant knows who cast it lie opens it and finds whether it be for or against he knows on the instant whether this man is faithful and trusty, and to be rewarded in time to «orae, ©r-whether a malcotent to be pimnied with dislike and suspicion If discontent grows into open rebellion to be pursued to the death' for Brigham Young andBrigliamYoung's apostles have a speedy and effectual method pf settling discontent in the midst of this domain Man after man, hundreds in the aggre gate at one time, as in the Mountain ^Meadow massacre, have died within the •length and breadth of this Territory—in no sense by the visitation of God. Many an emigrant train that has passed through this domain and has dared to give shelter to the men and women fleeing from this spiritual deispotism, has found its fair pro portions curtailed ere it crossed the boundary line of the territory.

IASSASSINATION COUNTENANCED. One of their own leaders had sai Miss Dickinson, in conversation: "There are crimes against religion"—that against the Mormon church, for that is, t*he only religion they profess. "We be lieve tlifer^1'are'crimes against the only punishment for which is death: g,nd for the good of the church and the good ot the.coinmiunity we ^thinks jthi* pnnishhient kshoixld be executed *e

Robinson died a man whose only crimes were that he protested against enormities where they were cqm, mitted that hedpired to claim United Slates land in the midst of a United State* territory. These people, so far as they can, have claimed and pre-empted every square foot of ground in that Territory. It is necessary to get a permit from their President, Brigha^ der to occupy land. The result is, it is almost impossible for a loyal citizen of the Republic—a gentile—to gain a toothold there.

MURDER* 6t DOCTOR RbBTMOlj. In additio^ to these offences, said Miss D., Dr. Robinson ventured to take from

Mormon's home to the wedding altar young girl, and then tried to make her his honorable wife. For all Ihis he was -threatened arid assaulted and finally brutally murdered oft the street. Tlie United Slates authorities took no note of it the Morman authorities took no note of it Ills friends investigated the case thereafter, ami pfoved-thie deed to have been like many others—enacted by these very respectable Mormons—a deed done at the command of those in authority, who had the right to order it for every police .officer ha«beefiw»thdrj«WB~fttwnhi»beat iu that district for the night.

He has about him a few hundred intelligent tools, Who haVe brkins enough to comprehend his plans, supple hands, and dead con sciences to execute them. Of these men, a few exceptions you may count ?ipon your fingers and thumbs, who are Americans, but the great rank and file of the people there are in no sense Americans.

They are not Americans by birth, bv habit, or by training, or. by pri^cipj^, or by anything.' Tliey are Sweedes, 'Danes, Swiss, Germans, French—two-thirds English and Welsh, of the lowest' and most degraded of the agricultural peasant class

POLYGAMY NQT ALWAYS PM^BLE. IT is the universal belief, ailira natural one, that the women of the territory far outnumber the men, but this, Miss Dick­t inson says, IS rf -mfetaTce* *nev§rthfeles8. The testimony of the people living,along the line of the road, the condition of aftairs inside of the city, and even their own testimony, show that the balance is about even, and if it swings on either side it is on the side of the men. Polygamy is the corner stone of their particular edifice, IMU the practice of p61j%amyJ for reasons manifest, in a great many ca«es is impossible. Ul

And then she bethought her "No, no, that will be a coward's prayer let ie

The United States Government, said Miss Dickinson, has a law whereby it virtually declares that polygamy is illegal, and asserts that one man can lawfully claim but orift woman for his wife, and one woman can call but one man her husband. The other day there died in the Territory of Utah, a man by the name of Heber Kimball, leaving two hundred widows. The United States officials recognize no such institution as polygamy* The woman that he married first is his widow. These one hundred and ninetyj^ne others are nothing. The case was carried to Washington to be decided—not as to whether this man had a right to will hist monpy to these two hundred women, or any. other two hundred women, but as to the rights of each one of these two hundred women as the widows of this man. The authorities at Washington declare to one branch that polygamy in some sense is illegal to another branch it declares that each one of these two hundred widows, shall be recognized in every spnse. The governmental Washington Outrages decency and Christianity ^like, by indirectly tolerating and sup jiitorting this ubomination.

SHARP THRUSTS^

Tlie lecturer, made some very sharp thrusts at several prominent gentlemen who were in Salt Lake City when she was there. Among these were the Hon. Wm. D. Kelly and the Rev! Dr. Todd. These Honorable gentlemen appear to have spoken smooth words to the Mormons to have encouraged, rather than discour aged, their '"peculiar institution."— MLss D., said that Judge K.. in kpeeeh to the Mormons, remarked that that he had been profoundly interested in what he had seen, as indeed, said he, had been all he had been profoundly pleased with what he had seen. Such marvelous industry such wonders of patience such obstacles overcome, could have sprung from nothing. saive a profound religious faith, a great religious enthusiasm!— Again he wished to express his admiration, and .ere,leaving here lie desired to pledge in behalf of himself and compan ion?'their entire friendship. Say you, my friends, continued Miss D., who were they? A leading committee—the Com mittee of Ways and Means of the House of Representatives of the United States! He wished to pledge them all the aid the United States government could give 'them in the spread and growth of their material prosperity and whatsoever must redound to the glory of our common country. And yet, doubtless, Judge Kel ley knew quite as well as every one who listened, that no assistance could be given these people in the spread and growth their material prosperity, that would not also aid and strengthen the doctrine of devils that is in their religion.'

She had listened to a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Tqdd, wherein he utterly ignored everything1 so insignificant as a few thou sands of women there gathered, and ad dressed the men again and again, in terms of tendered brotherhood and good fellowship. Sh£ heard him hope that on some minor differences being swept away they niight at last make clearly the port, towards which he doubted hot they were all* tending, and he told them a story, the appearance at the gates of Paradise of disembodied spirits, who were challenged by an angel. Said the angel, "Who are you?" "I am a Baptist." "Ah," said the g,ngel, "pass to ypur place and then came another and another, and one after another answered to the challenge, not the password of Christian, but their particular denomination, and places were aisigned them. By and by, as they there sat together, sounding up from the pearly gates and everlasting walk, came a new song of the Lamb, and as one after an other caught the familiar Strain, one voice af)er another joined in the familiar chorus, and the angel said: "What? thought you were Baptists, Methodists, 'ongrcgationalists,*Presbyterians, Episcolians, but if you sing that song, your place is not without, but within—enter, iDr. Todd, she said, did not say Mormon by word, but if he did not use it by imjslicatipn,, then what possible sense could the story have for such an audience. The application was made as he meant it to be,, and the next day's papers commented ipon it accordingly. These people have ith In Christ, in the doctrine of atone ment. They believe in it they swear by it they are as orthodox as the doctor himself, and as far as he saw" fit to enunciate his belfef they could have well tsfl.id "amen" to it.

HORRORS OF MORMONISM.

We lyiye not space for more than a ance at the terrible array of horrors ich the lecturer presented. Passing by the thousand minor offenders, she said, there are such men as Bishop John-

hiecbs, for.his wives there is George Watt the church reporter and correspondent of the

Alia Oalifanria,

-m

respecta­

ble in society, conspicnous in entertaining members of Congress and others, yet married, in addition to others, to his own half sister, and there i? Curtis Bolt, who l^s a mother And daughter for bis wives| the daughter a child ofthfteen. On the face of such enormities as these, can a Christian, leader of souls, With God's own

spirit thrust iato him, deliberately pal

antlatnke hands with qfjlMM? No. tfoincest oftke case, their snl women of the fcSalt

examplified at Salt Lake that he night well feel at home there. Looking at all this shesaid, whynotjIbrsheiMBemberad that scarcely a public man has gone to flail I*Kei wt#» vjutf dtd J-yH the past summer, with one prominent and

Vice-Presidenfc-^l&^not|ok«n down in the mud of the plice TP strike hands with the leadens of this abomination, if he has had time sufficient wherein tb»nsiun* mate his degradation. Looking at alitUa she said, why, beyood this speech and this action heire, why such speech and such action elsewhere? there is Brigham Young, we wilt say, the graat pillar of this whole system, a man without whom must drop out of sight in a twelve months, who carries the consciences of his followers about with him and the crimes manifold^ directly due and insti gated by him, who has entered under his name a list of forty-three women, whpm he claims as his wives and lives with as such, a robber, an adulterer, a murderer this man goes to Washington, and Senators and Representatives and Cabinet members call upon him and pay their respects to him, and invite him into their houses and women—wives and mothers, too, give him a seat at their table and a place beside their daughters. Reverse the case suppose it was.a woman who stood in Brighun Young's plaoe—nay, suppose it were even one of the forty-three wretched dupes whom he has gathered in his home, suppose that "not a siipposablecase,"say you: "quite another thing a very different matter." No, it is not.-

The law/ of morality and the laws of God recognize no sexes, whatever paltry infamous distinction yon or I may seem fit to draw ., t.

Looking at all this, she said why? Beyond this speech and this action, why such silence—why such silence of the press, of the pulpit, of society, aiid of the government and to the question came the answer, Because after all Salt Lake City is very like every great city tander the sun." Because things there are sanctioned that are elsewhere tolerated. Because in Salt Lake City a man takes half a dozen women to the wedding altar, and goes through a species of marriage ceremony with them, and calls them his wives, and lives with them as such while in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities a man does the same thing precisely without any such preliminary service. In Salt Lake City they*call it religion. In New York, Boston, Phila delphia, Chicago, they call it, not precisely a religion, but even a necessity—a young man sowing bis wild oats. Because things here go uncovered and brazenfaced that elsewhere irioye masked, jay you: I doii't seepolygamy, I don't see in cest, I don't see illegal abominations? But the underlying theory in regard to the proper place, work, duty and office woman in the world, whereon this whole system of polygamy 19 reared and strengthened, is precisely the same in Salt Lake as in every city in Christendom. It is the theory that woman is sen1 into the world, not for herself, but for another, that she is a necessity to man, that she was not put here as an entity, as an individual, or as another human being, but as a finishing supplement, art ornamentor adornment, an afterthought to some other human being, and that other human being of necessity a man. The rights and duties, the work and responsibilities of the world are such, whether she be a happy wife or mother, just as a man with the responsibilities^ and duties has rights and powers whether he he a husband or a father. "Oh, no quite mistake, we are told by Dr. Bushnell, Dr. Hatfield, Dr. Fulton and others. They inform us that the sole and obly purpose for which a woman was created and sent into the world was to be a wife and moth er. Excellent! cries Mormonistn. Every woman should be a wife and mother, And until she is the gates of heaven shall be closed against her, for, says Mormonism a woman is sent into this life for this purpose, and if she does not pent and become a wife and mother here, she will have an exceedingly bod time in the world to come This is logical, to say the least. Woman was sent into the world to smooth and soothe a man and to adorn his life. He is to spread, and glorify, and magnify himself. In a word, as Dr. Bushnell has summed it up'for us in a most scholarly way, woman is^created in the world for the purpose of potftitig goodness into a man. Excellent! cries Mormonism, admirable! And in that case, says Mormonism, the more women: the better for if one-woman will put an amount of goodness in ia ^"inati, twenty women will constitute him a saint, Stripped of all its sentimentality, and of all glamour—stripped "of all delicate words and airy sentences, that signify nothing, the actual- theory of these men finds its logical sequencein Utah. They may shrink from it, they may turn away their faces in horror from, it, but tKeir own theory, pursued toils logical eondn sion, has its end there. ft A

DISCONTENT.

Miss Dickinson related a number of incidents, resulting from her personal observation, showing the general discontent of the mormon women, and remarked that neither are women elsewhere, to whom fortune-has assigned & kinder portion, quite contented with what has been given to them. And this discontent is becoming so universal that the world ctmcedes it, to support it or to 6ght it. It «jiriitgs from no woman's rights conventions. It springs from no so-called strongminded appeals nor harangues from no discussion of legal rights ot legal Wrongs, legal powers, nr legal disabilities. What lies at the bottom of this so-Called "Woman Movement" of to-day is simply the spirit of the day a day wherein men cry precedents to the when ^ride* crosses their track wherein men are tearing down the old and building afresh and

better-

When it is urged in opposition to the cry, that in some end of (he land to die other, aiid all that may be hrnftiSetyj-ln «*ttrc&7 or State, can not stay this movement^ which goes on as steadily and as surely as the hours rtm. tell yqn, she- continued, ao true as yon sit and I stand hen to-night, yon cannot a^h this {townj nor scare it down, nor preach, nor legislate, nor denounce it down. For on onr side are God's laws, And God's mind is in the cause that we struggle for to-day. Hie law of nature is that water cannot ran np hill, consequently there can be no need of barriers to prevent it, but that it shonld have the right to rise to the level of its source.— The "love of God" that is in every human soul demands the utmost possibilities and freedom for both. ^TOSJESOTE YAIAEY.:

But we must pass ova: many brilliant passages—for the entire lecture would fill the EXPRESS—and hasten to the close, a thrilling glance at Yosemite Valley. The lecturer remembered, she said, a scene witnessed last summer in the worldfamous Yosemite Valley. One day, after along and wearisome tramp, as, indeed, any tramp there must be, she reached tlie descent to the falls when it was in deep shadows and what a descent! A vast wall of rock on the one hand, a wierd gleaming fall four hundred feet high on the other, an abyss beneath the thunder's roar—a filling of the air with spray and mist, flying wild and white through the night below her Egyptian darkness all about her the sombre mountains and inaccessable steps—their tops thr^e, four, five thousand feet high.

Peaks and points, and towers, and pinnacles and domes shapes of beauty, shapes of grace, shapes of majesty and power these carved in the whitest of granite, and those alone above the vast sea of darkness dipped by the rising glory of the moon, and fairly glittering in ite light. Marvellous scene! 1 stood still, she continued, and let it penetrate me I Was not crushed by it. Something within me, in heart or brain, swelled till the walls felt as though they might give way something that cried: *'I am greater than this before them my essence was above them, beyond them can I now soar when these shall go when the heavens above them shall roll together like scroll, and all the earth beneath them shall melt with fervent heat, and these vanish^into nothingness, I shall live and grow, and go on from hight to hight conquering and to conquer, for the spirit of God has created me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life. -.

CONCLUSION.

Pausing a moment for the^ applause, which greeted the last paragraph, to subside, she said in conclusion: "Since these things are so, since he has made us in His own image, but a little lower than the angels, and crowned us with honor and glory, see to it, women who listen to me, as God Himself hath commanded, that no man take your crown."

Miss Dickinson is conceded by those who have heard her recent efforts, not only in this city, but wherever she has spoken, to be the ablest of the female lecturers of the present time, and that i3 no small compliment when we consider how many brilliant women have been attracted to the lecture stage during the pasi few yeiars."

In the hasty preparation of this report of the lecture, to-night, as well as of the personal description of Miss Dickinson, we are much indebted to the St. Louis

of Saturday last, which devoted number of racy columns to her lecture in that city on the previons evening. ." W. R. C.

SOME YEARS since a poor but talented gentleman of the medical profession conceived the idea that if he could produce a medicine of universal application and extraordinary merit, and make it known he could not only enrich himself and escape the drudgery of a Physicians life, but also benefit the sick in a greater meas ure than by his private practice. He therefore consulted with the best Physicians he could find and the result was the production of the Judson's Mountain Herb Pills, a famous and most successful med icine. He began in a small way to make the Mountain Herb Pills known by advertising them and such was the value of his Pills, that in a few years he had not only amassed a fortune, but had that rare satisfaction for a rich man, of having relieved the aick, and benefitted his fellow-men in every port of the country, as thousands of graceful testimonials could prove. The Judson's Mountain Herb Pills have curhd Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities, and all Bilious disorders. This little sketch serves both to adorn a tale and point a moral.— Dr. Judson's Pills were meritorious and the doctor himself knew the value of printer's ink. For sale by all dealers. f2dwlm
