THE DAILY EVKN1NG TIXKGllAPH PHILADELPHIA, W KDIn riSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1870. 'THE HOOK OF AXOKM(hN.'' An few people, except in the church which Jweph Smith established at the time of this publication, have rend thim cnrious history of bociect America, the following brief sam mary is offered, that the nature of this Mor mon I?ible, so often misrepresented, m-xy be understood without the labor of reading its entire mass of dull and aften absurd matter. It comprises fifteen book, as fol lows: The First Book of Nephi. i The Second Book of Nephi. The Hook of Jacob, Brother of Nephi. The Book of Enos. The Book of Jarom. ... The Book of Omni. The Words of Mormon. The Book of Mosiata, to which are added the Records of Zeniff. The Book of Alma, Son of Alma. The Book of Helnman. The Be ok of Nephi, Son of Nephi, who was the son of Ilclaman. The Book of Nephi, Son of Nephi, one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon. The Book of Ether. The Book of Moreni. After the confusion of languages tt Babel, the Jaredites crossed the ocean in eight ships, and, landing on the coast of North America, built cities, and became a great nation. But, falling from godliness, the whole people was destroyed about six hundred years before Christ. Their prophet Ether wrote their annals, and hid the history, written on plates, for the infor mation of the finder. A party of Israelites from the tribe of Joseph left Jerusalem in the reign of Zede kiuh, followed the lied Soa and the continent to the ocean, and then sailed eastward to Ike coast of South America, peopled the country, and soon became divided into two factions, styled, from the names of thoir leaders, Nephites and Lauianites. The first were righteous, and suffered persecution at the hands of the wicked Lamauites, but, like the Puritans, emigrated to a free land, com ing to the northern part of South America, where God blessed them for their tipright less, and prospered them exceedingly; while their brethren, the Lamanites, were left by God to the evil devices of their own hearts, and their white skins grew dark nnder His enrse. In the eleventh year of the reign of Ze le kiab, a few of the tribe of Judah came to North America, and, travelling towards the centre, were, after four centuries, discovered by the Nephites, who found them a large tribe of ignorant people, who had no records, and had uUorly lost their former civilization. They are called, in the Book of Mormon, Zarahemla. Acting as missionaries, the Nephites converted, and entered into an alliance with, Zarahemla; and together they built ships on the Isthmus of JJarieu, and Kent colonists along the coast northward. Others went overland; and in n few hundred years North America was repeopled. The Book of Ether, with the history of the Jared ites, was recovered. At the crucifixion of Christ, the Nephites, who were fallen away from the law, were punished by earthquakes and terrible up-, heavals, which destroyed many; but the sur vivors saw Christ after his ascension. Then the law of Moses was done away with, the gospel substituted , and twelve disciples chosen as apostles. The Lamanites and Nephites were converted; but hurdly four cen turies passed away before they again became corrupted, and a war broke out between the inhabitants of the two continents. The Nephites were driven northward; and while the remnant of the nation was encamped around the hill of Cu morah, some two hundred miles west of Albany, the Lamanites came upon them, and destroyed lieirly all. Mormon and his son Meroni, being righteous men, survived; and, titer completing the record, hid it in the hill of Cumorah, where, after fourteen centuries, Heaven revealed it to Joseph Smith. From the Lamanites sprung the American Indians. There are many very amusing stories in the Book of Mormon; and much of it is sim ply a copy of the prophecies of Isaiah and other Jewish prophet3. The ships in which the early fugitives crossed the ocean were made somewhat on the principle of mbmarine rams, with a hole at the op, and another at the bottom, for ventila tion, when either top or bottom was not sub merged. These arks did not carry the exten sive freight Noah was obliged to take on board. In the words of Ether, the vessels "were small; and they were light upon the water even nnto the lightness of a fowl npon the water; and they were built after a manner that they were exceedingly tight even that they would hold water, like nnto a dish; and the bottom theroof was tight, like nnto a dish; and the sides thereof were tight, like unto a dish; and the ends thereof wero peaked; and the top thereof was tight, like nnto a dish; and the length thereof was the length of a tree; and the door thereof, when it was shut, was like nnto a dish. . . . And the Lord said nnto the brother of Jared, Behold, thou sbalt make'a hole in the top thereof, and also in the bottom thereof; and, when than bhalt suffer for air, thou skalt un stop the hole thereof, and receive air. And, if it be so that the water come in upon thee, btbild, ye shall stop the hole thereof, that ye may not perish in the flood." A luminous stone at each end of the ship gave light dar ing the three hundred and forty-four days the voyage to America lasted. Oil andXuo for jjtcmler. Scandinavians tor Maine. Maine his now quietly entered upon the plan of settling her backwoods region with Scandinavian immi grants. I here has not been so much stir over the arrival of the Swedes as accompanied the advent or tne umnese in .North Adams, but in some respects the event has hardly less eigniticance. We cannot give in detail a history of the movement, but a few facts will be useful and interesting. The credit of the )lan belongs jointljito Governor Chamber ain, Mr. Wm, W. Thomas, Jr., of Portland, and the legislature w hich passed the neces sary act. Mr. Thomas was an old pupil of the Governor when the latter was a professor in Bowdoin College. Having graduated at that institnticn in 18ii0, he was, a year or two later, appointed consul at Gotteuburg, Swe den, where he remained for some time. On his return be began the efforts for securing a Swedish colony in Maine, and, seconded by the pertinacity of General Chamberlain, those efforts were not relaxed until the project was carried forward to assured success. The Le gislature pahfctd the resolution authorizing the undertaking, on the 23d of March. Mr. Thomas was at once appointed the commis sioner (o carry it out, and on the Mb of May sailed from Portland. By the 25th of June the first colony was ready to start, and four weka thereafter it was introduced to the new settlement, New Sweden, or, as it ban heretofore been known, township No. 15, The first colony nnmbered fifty-one persons, of whom one, a child, died on the passage tip the St. John. The company landed in Halifax, went by rail to Annapolis, and thence by water to St. John, and up the river to Tobique, New Brans wick, opposite Fort Fairfield, in Aroostook county, Maine. Car riages conveyed them to Fort Fairfield. As they crossed the boundary, the United States flag was raised on the foremost carriage, an artillery ealnte, was given them, and the State Land Agent welcomed them to the country and to Maine. A meeting was orga nized in the village of Fort Fairfield, and the new comers were again welcomed. ' Mr. Thomas acted in all these ceremonies as in terpreter. After a collation in the town hall the immigrants again took carriages and pro ceeded towards their new home. At Caribon the whole village turned out, and the strains of musio from a brass band mingled with the cheers of the country people. Here also a halt was made, and there was more speaking, after which the Swedes were received by the people into their honse3 and passed the night as their gaeets. The following day they ac complished the remaining eight miles of thoir jonrney and arrived at New Sweden. f Of the new comers it may be said that they are all intelligent and thrifty people. Every adult person amoLg them is able to read and write, and they have already entered heartily into the acquisition of the English language. They bring with them money, in gold, averag ing $100 to each person. They bore indi vidually all the expenses of transportation ns far as Tobique, and the State paid only for the carriages to convey them to their new home. They are educated to trades, and from some little incidents of the trip which have been mentioned they are evidently of exactly the proper material for pioneers in the new settlement. The Aroostook country is pro verbially fertile, and is certainly not excelled by any land in New England, and the town ship assigned to them, the proprietorship in which is given them on easy terms, has not a superior in the whole county. It is covered with forest as yet, but is of rich soil, not at all swampy, free from rocks, and of a gently undulating surface. The Swedes express themselves delighted with the country. How Musical Geniuses abb Made in Geti many. A Cologne correspondent of the Orchestra indulges in this descriptive wail: Nothing can be more absurd and disgusting than the presumption or modern young German composers, very few excepted. The young musician who is so happy as to hit on a strange mode or talking, or walking, or dressing, or writing, and who possesses a suf ficient amount of swagger, begins first to be called "clever. As soon as he gets this title, he walks, talks, dresses, and writes himself up to a genius. He is a pianist, and by dint of promenading up and down the key board, throwing from time to time his long hair back, by dint of heaping up a quantity of notes, of modulating a commonplace figure three or four bars over and over again through every tonality, of using the accord of the dominant seventh as a bridge to go anywhere, but never knowing how to finish, because he never Knows how to begin; by dint, I say, of writing all this chaos down, and scoring it in the most eccentric way, he conceives he has com posed an entirely now and marvellous work. Then he gets by heart tho best verses of Schiller, Goethe, and Herder, as well as the finest sentences of the renowned works on asthetics, and so boldly begins to talk abeut idusic in autocratic etyie, ana is given to "interpret" and "define" the beautiful in art. By-and-by the arrogance of his conversation and his piano-playing begin to recruit a few admirers, generally of feeble-minded and in experienced students; now he gets a friend in the press, then a publisher, and in a few years he is proclaimed a man of genius. This dangerous generation of musicians in Ger many is the result of the great influence so long exercised in this country by Liszt and Wagner.- Ihe history of humanity shows clearly enough how great men, as well as great humbugs, have always created new (sects of admirers and imitators. But alas! imitation is the source of corruption in literature and the fine arts, and much more in music, for the held is a wide one belong ing to the metaphysical branch, and the de monstration more infinite, not being subject to material form. So the imitators of Liszt and Wagner are nothing less than elements of musical decline in uermany. Facts About Noses. The French, and, ndeed, all the Latin races, are remarkably "nosy, "and the study of nosology has seldom been neglected in France. J ulius Caesar desired that he xmight have men about him who "were fat, and such as slept o'nights, " but the modern Cstsar, Napoleon I, was wont to say, "Give me a man with plenty of nose." He little dreamed that he was destined to be battled by a people the Russians whose noses were well-nigh level with their faces, and that his ultimate victor was to be a man with the most prominent nose in Europe Arthur, Duke of Wellington. Na poleon's own nose was exquisitely chiseled, sculpturesque in mould, form, and expression; but not one of his brothers had a nose worth looking at, and that of Jerome Bonaparte was beneath contempt. Ney's was weak, undecided, though honest. But con sider the mighty book of Bernadotte, the severe aquiline of Kleber, the dangerous pro tuberance of Moreau ! A man with that pro file was a man to be got rid of. Robespierre's nose, small, delicate, puggish, supercilious, forms one of the oddest outward character istics of that inexplicable man. It is not, like Marat's, that of a blood-spiller. It would have better become a member of the Social Science Association, or a doc trinaire opponent of capital punish ment. Voltaire's, on the other hand, is eminently typical of tho man. It is sharp as a pen, inquiring, suggestive, scornful, and hopelessly skeptical. But for a thoroughly emblematic creature, haughty, imperious, commanding, imposing, commend us to that of Louis XIV. The Grand Monarque, it was discovered after his death, was really a little man; but it was much more his nose than his towering periwig and his high-heeled shoes that made him look seven feet high. Depend upon it, but for that nose obedient millions would never have bowed down and worshipped him for seventy years. "Some years ago," says the Washington Star, "George Alfred Townsend wrote a yarn for a Western paper purporting to give the particulars of a remarkable surgical operation performed upon Senator Benton in his life time. The substance of the story was that the Washington doctors plugged Mr. Benton in the side as boys plug a watermelon; that tLey disemboweled him, turned his intestines inbide out, removed the fool there, and with it a considerable collection of public docu ments, bits of leather, visiting-cards, Fflints of bakers pine, etc, that he Lad swallowed from time to time absent-mindedly while intent upon the compilation of bis "Abridgment of collection f indigestible matter", it wal stated, had finally produced an awkward jam in the intestinal canal, henoe this operation. The narrative proceeded to state that the Colonel's bowels were carefully washed, rinsed, and repaired; that his dinner was then replaced (minus the public documents and other indigestible matter), and that the open ingor plugging in his 8Io was then sewed or glued up nicely. It was gravely added that the stern old states or an minded the ope ration so little that he wrote two chapters or bis "Abridgment" while it was going on, And this astounding Munchansenism was copied into nearly every paper in the country; in fact, we nee it occasionally on its travels yet. It had not the slightest foundation. special notioes. ! j- the city mission of the protestant episcopal church Is now in active operation.
