BANISHED FOR LIFE.

THE OUTCAST OF CHURCH ISLAND IN GREAT SALT LAKE.

He Has For Years Lived the Life of a Wild Man and Rarely Sees a Human Being Branded For Bobbing the Dead by Order of Governor Brigham Young.

In the center of the Great Salt lake in Utah is a large body of land known as Church island. This land consists of mountains and valleys, with trees and vegetation, and has always been used as a herding ground for cattle belonging to the Mormon church. Several years ago the water on the east side of the island was shallow and cattle could be driven across easily, but now the water is deep and everything must be conveyed to and from the land in boats. A distance of about five miles covered with salt water must be gone over by canoes to get to or from the island. On this famous spot, amid millions of pelicans, sea gulls and other fowls, wanders a lonely old man. without clothing and devoid of language or any of the instincts of humanity. He was banished years ago by the Mormon church on the charge of robbing the dead.

Jean Baptiste was a Frenchman who came to Salt Lake City a young man nearly 40 years ago. He grew up among the saints, and, after marrying, was made sexton of the small cemetery. His duties were light and his remuneration correspondingly small. He resided in a little cabin on the mountain side overlooking the city, and spent his time, when not employed in the cemetery, in collecting junk and trading and trafficking with a few Jewish secondhand clothes dealers who had the hardihood to engage in business among the Mormons. A regiment of United States troops was then camped near the city, and the gentiles engaged in business were assured protection.

The little Frenchman was an avaricious man and was noticeable because of his picking up every cast away article and carrying it to his home. Old dry goods boxes, barrels, tin cans and other packing articles cast away by the soldiers were especially well cared for by Jean Baptiste, the sexton. He dressed as a scavenger and resembled the modern saloon loafer, who is always searching the slums for barrels and boxes of garbage and cast off garments, The actions of the sexton created some comment, and not a little curiosity was aroused among people who had occasion to visit his residence on the mountain side, over the city.

One day Jean appeared on the streets dressed in an elegant suit of broadcloth. A few days before a wealthy stranger had died and was buried in the cemetery. The suit in which the body was dressed resembled that worn by the sexton. An examination was ordered, and the corpse was found to have teen robbed of its clothing. A committee waited upon the sexton and made a most startling discovery. The graveclothes of over 200 persons were found in the baskets and boxes stowed away in his ghoulish cabin. Excitement ran high in Salt Lake City. The boxes of clothing were emptied and the contents taken to the city hall, where many a fond mother identified the burial robes of her child. Elegant silk dresses, at that time a luxury even to the rich, were found in the various bundles. The man was arrested and cast into jail, pursued by a mob who sought his life.

Brigham Young, then governor and general dictator in Utah, ordered the man to be branded with a hot iron and banished to Church island. During the quiet hour of midnight Jean Baptiste was taken from the jail, and his whole forehead was seared with the following inscription: "Branded For Robbing the Dead.'' Two men escorted the quivering, naked form from the city of vengeance. A canoe was entered near the city, and the doomed prisoner was taken in chains to the island which in future was to be his home. Without clothing or food he was landed upon the shore, the boat returned to the mainland, and the ghoul remained a hopeless exile. He could not leave the island, because instant death would follow should he be seen by any of the inhabitants of the Mormon land of Zion. He was forced to seek food and shelter amid wild animals, the birds and reptiles.

The island was soon known as the Isjdof banishment. People shunned its shores as they would a haunted house. Many persons were lost upon the lake while rowing in canoes against heavy winds. The general supposition of all was that those unfortunates drifted to the island and were devoured by the wild man. Even the fearless cowboy has ever refused to intrude upon the home land of the exile. Wild horses roam over its acres of broken canyons, rugged cliffs and grassy meadows. The sea gulls and other birds find a home undisturbed on the deserted shores. All the natives, including Indians, warn newcomers of the fate of scores of pleasure seekers who have been drifted upon the shores of the fated island. The crags, bluffs, dark caverns and lonely canyons warn every boatman nearing the shore to keep away from the hidden dangers.

In a dark cave about half a mile from the shore lives the wild man. His home is strewn with the wrecks of boats, bones of victims and other cannibalistic indications. Away back in the deep darkness of the cavern is his sleeping place, made of clothing stripped from unfortunate victims shipwrecked on the fatal shore. A collection of leaves, grasses and branches from the

for the bed, in which this human monster spends most of his time. Several hunters and explorers have recently viewed the man. He is described as old, stooping, destitute of clothing, incapable of speech -aud covered with long hair. Upon the appearance of man he utters a wild, weird shriek and rushes to the cavern, from which he cannot be induced or forced to return.—San Francisco Examiner.

A SUMMER SCENE..

5SS Laden come the maidens home, "i. With poppies and wild roses, Singing ditties as they come,

And blushing like their posies.

Crowned is one merry maid With coronal of poppy Naturtf'has with beauty played,

To make a faultless copy.

Laughter gathers in her eye, Her every movement hhuihos Hark! she mocks a lover's sigh

With songs in birdlike gushes.

Cupid, should be pass her way, For lack of strength must tarry She will steal his bow away

And bid the rogue go marry..

—Charles T. Lusted in Blackwood's Magazine.

OLD MILITARY LORE.

Regulations That Guided Soldiers In the Sixteenth Century.

"The Pathwaie of Martiall Discipline" (1581), by Thomas Styward, is full of plates and abounds in quaint remarks. Giving the duties of a provost marshal, we find: "He shall according to the lawes punish all offenders with out regard or respect of persons, and in the market place shall set up a pair of gallows, both for the terror of the wicked and for execution upon them that offend the lawes. That he shall set upon all victualls brought to the market a reasonable price, that the seller and the buyer may reasonably live by it. In the office of coronel (or colonel—the two terms seem to have been introduced at the same time, but the latter became the favorite), after mentioning his appointing of as many captains as is needful, giving 300 men to a company, "which is a convenient number," for if the men are divided into smaller companies too much money would bo spent on the oncers. With regard to the lieutenant, no is to to "of great experiences, qualities and bchuvioi". "The coram shall also examine tho selections that the captain? have r. ade of all the officers throughout their companies, and if they be such ought to be, or not uracil -worse he may allow them, and not otherwise."

Before firearms drove out all other weapons it was an object to equalize the strength of the company, "the shot" (as the musketeers came to be called) supplementing the pikes. All the combinations of men for drilling which are given by various authors illustrate this thus for the defense from horsemen: "Place the ranks of pikes every way, your shot next unto them, your bills (or halberds) and ensign in the midst, the pikes ends couched down the better to resist the

enemy."

All kinds of dodges are taught—thus: "If in sight of the enemy, which is superior in numbers, the front rank of pikes shall spread out so as to admit the men of the second rank in the open spaces. But if the enemy manifest a real intention of attacking, and there be no place of refuge near, the second rank shall return to their places, and all shall serrie close together. The shot shall be placed in the voward aud rearward so that they may skirmish aud retire as occasion serveth. "—Gentleman's Magazine.

White House of the Confederacy.

Within a short time the old home of Jefferson Davis in Richmond will be thrown open to the public as a Confederate museum. The "White House of the Confederacy," as it has been called, has been the property of the city for many years and has recently been used as a schoolhouse. A room in the house will be assigned to each of the states that seceded for a collection of relics, and in addition there will be a large room for a general museum and one for a library. The first of the state collections—that of Georgia—has been received. It was presented to the committee by Mr. De Reune on the eighty-sixth birthday of President Davis, Juue, 181)4. Among tho relics are the cape, gauntlets and sword of General Lee the plumes from General Stuart's hat the spyglasses used by General Beauregard at the battle of Manassas, and the collections from the various soldiers' homes established throughout the south, including the Lee Camp Soldiers' home collection, which contains, in addition to many rare and interesting relics, the skin of Stonewall Jackson's charger. There are also a number of manuscripts and private papers.—New York Tribune.

Shortening the Time.

Friend—Doesn't the journey to and from the country every day seem very long?

Mr. Suburb—Long? It's too short When I take the train in the morning, I know I've got to pinch in and work like a horse the moment the train reaches the city. That makes the journey seem too short, doesn't it? "I presume it does. But how about the journey back?" "Well, I always remember after I start that I've forgotten something my wife wanted particularly, so that ride is always over too soon."—Pearson's Weekly. __

Not So Awfully Superior.

Paleface—Why don't you get a civilized name for yourself, now that you have become a civilized Indian?

Noble Red Man—Ugh I What your name? Paleface—Myname is Iglehart.

Noble Red Man (with crushing sarcasm)—Ugh! Iglehart! Heap good! Injun's name Eagle Heart! Heap bad!— Chicago Tribune.

Prayer has a right to the word "ineffable." It is an hour of outpourings which words cannot express—of that interior speech which we do not articulate, even wheu we employ it.—Mme.Swetchine.

During the four years of the civil war there were 107 pitched battles, 102 combats involving the presence of a number of regiments on each side and 362 skirmishes, sieges and other actions.

Sir John Herscbrl proved that an icicle 45 miles in i^ameter and 200,000 miles long would melt in one minute should it fall into the snn. t-r,
