AfTairot in tbe Mormon Empire. A letter to the Chicago Times from Salt Lake City says: We have a new feature Here In sign-boards by Divine command so It is said. Each saint" who keeps a store must have a sign by whlou the "faithful" will know where 10 trade; and tbey are lorbldden, under penally of being out off from the church (and consequently never seeing Paradise) from dealing wltn any others. The signs are: "Holiness to the Lord," iu an arcb, with tbe "All-seeing Kye" in the oentre; "ion's Mercantile Instiiutiou." I am sorry to say that some of the "outsiders," or "Gentiles," very Irreverently call them "bull's-eye shops;" and I am still more sorry to state that even some Mormons, not having the fear of Brlgbam before their eyes, will quietly slip into a "Gentile" shop to make some pur chases, particularly If they know they can save at least thirty per cent, when they are in duty bound tolpay that extra for the sakeof "building up Zlon' There are mines of gold, stiver, copper, and lead, within forty miles of this plaoe, that, were they located five hundred miles away, in some almost Inaccessible wilderness, would have a rush for them, from all pins of the world. I have spent several days in some of the mining district, and am surprised that there are not more done la them, Willi tbe facilities tbey have. "Bingham canon," about twenty miles to the norm west of tbe city, wilt see a camp of about five hundred men in the spring. There are rich "placer" diggings of very nne gold, from the finest dust up to nuggets one ouuon each, besides ledges of gold and silver quartz, very rich, and copper and lead ores whlou will yield over fifty per cequ in weight of either. I under stand that a company, which means business, nas been organising lately In Chloago, and has stcured several ledges, and Will proceed to develop and work them. 1 will only say that there cannot help being a large fortune In store for tbem; for, if mines can be worked success fully any where, It must be there. Tbe spleudld deposits of galena and silver ore, also, of "Cot tonwood canyon," are bound to be mints of wealth to those who are not afraid to risk a dollar. Wood is In abundance; there la water power of tbe best kind every mile of the length or tbe canyon; labor is plenty, and every faci lity exists for work on any kind of a scale. It my be asked, Why have these silver-mines been so long neglected 7 The "laws" that is, the Mormon Church prohibit mining among lis members, and they are bound to discourage it in every possible way, and outsiders have not Oared to lake bold of it; but, thanks to civiliza tion aud railroads and the press, that time is gone by entirely. INDIA. The Hindoos) Imitating; the Customs of Europeans). The Hindoos are adopting the manners and customs of their Kngllsh rulers, says tbe Lon don Telegraph, with a rapidity which would be gratifying if they discriminated between the good and bad points of our civilization. The Calcutta native who is lucky enough to be riott does not spend his money in building "ghauts," as bis foreialhers so often did; still less does he waste large sums annually In offer ings to Idols, or large contributions to Ike Brahmins. He nas probably been educated at the Calcutta university, and comes forth with no religion to call his own, bis faith in bis ancestral creed shattered and his mind unfitted for the conceptions oflered by Christianity. He passes his time in copying the superficial follies and extravagances of the Kngllsh, driving about in a dog cart which he has specially imported, and in domestlo mo ments proving himself not insensible to the attractions of brandy-and-water and cheroots. His humbler fellow-countrymen cannot follow blm so far in Imitation of the sahib, but they have Just ihowa. a disposition to adopt one custom known here and elsewhere. "To tbe amusement ot all Calcutta, there has been a 'strike' among tbe natives. Tbey have heard of strikes in England, and determined to see what the contrivance is worth as a means of raising wages. On the Bombay side tbe strike bas grown decidedly popular, but tbe Bengalese are slow to fall in with new Inven tions. At last, however, tbe boatmen who transport goods between the shore and theships at Calcutta gave up work. They had been for bidden to land goods at a certain point where experimental Jetties are In course of construc tion, and that restriction upon their liberties tbey could not tolerate. They therefore sub mitted to the notice of the Anglo-Indians an unwelcome Institution of tbe mother coun try. Men who have been "forty years In tbe country" will be more tban ever oonvlnoed that we are ruining India by allowing the na tives to do as tbey please. In past days the boatmen might have found their experiment costly; but now the Chamber of Commeroe aots as arbitrator In thelroause. and "prevails" npon them to resume work. After this, who will venture to say that European Ideas have not fenet rated beneath tbe surfaoa of native life in ndlat Tbe truth is that, unless the Iudlan Government adapts itself to tbe progressive state of the people, we may very soon find that even tbe letbarglo Bengalee is going much too fast for us.

SECOND EDITION THE TWITCHELL TRIAL, Thirteenth Day's Proceedings Conclusion of Mr. O'Hy rue's Argu-incnt-Opcning of Mr. Mann's Speech. Court or Oyrr And Txhminku Judges Brewster and Ludlow, Tbe storm this morn ing afforded but small relief to the olfloersj sta tioned at the doorway ol tbe court-room to keep theentranceclear.for the orowd there assembled was large and impatient, and even before the hour of meeting bad arrived every seat la the auditorium was occupied. The prisoner wag colleoted and composed In manner, and took every opportunity afforded by the intervals in the arguments to converse with bis father and friends. Mr. O' Bvrne again addressed the jury, con cluding the address begun yesterday, tie took up the subject of the prisoner's pecuniary condition, ssyirg: The notes which were proven to have been given by him to certain persons for tbe paymeut of different sums of money were none of ttictn kuowntobe due, and he had not thought of being pressed by them. Against this tbe prisoner had shown that by the sale ot pro perty, and by I, he , possession of 15,(K'Q shingles lu bis possession, manufac tured for other persons, he was in a position I o meet every dollar of his Indebtedness. This being shown, there was an lentlre absence of n olive for tbe horrid deed of November 23, There were In this great city many others who were directly Interested in the determination of Mrs. Hill's life estate in tbe property, but George Twllchell was not; for by the continuation of that life estate he was In the constant receipt of $0000 a year, which enabled him to support bis wife, tbe old lady's only child, In ease and luxury. Here every part of the Commonwealth's case bas been successfully met. You can Infer nothing unfavorable to the prisoner because of bis firoxlmlty to tbe scene of the murder. The beory of Dr. Levis regarding the blood has boon completely overthrown, and the absence of motive bas been made complete; and now, gentlemen, we are prepared, la language that cannot be contradicted, to tell you the true tbeory of the murder. Yon remember the testimony of Mr. Aitget, a respectable and a reputable citizen, whose veracity tbe Common wealth, with the aid of all . the deteotlve and police force of the city, have been unab'.e to attack. By this man's testimony we nave shown you the murderers leaving the bouce red-handed at the very time of tbe deed. These were the aisasslns who murdered that woman, and one of them lowered her from tbe wludow to the arms of his confederate, who stood below with the poker lu his hand. And we have shown that when found tbe boiom of the murdered woman's dress wasopen. Not one dollar was found upon the pri soner be was sot there over tne body taking it from her; it was taken by the true murderers away, Oht gentlemen ot the jury, remember yon stand almost la the relation of God to the poor prisoner at the bar; with power to make or un make: to let live or destroy. And oh! gentle men, belike unto Him In tempering your Judg ment with mercy. Glorifying yourselves so far as it is allowable to your frail humanity, to do so with His benignity and mercy. Kemember that tbe day will como when the archangel'! trump will call you before another bar, Where God Himself will actas ludse.where yon will be Imploring mercy from the Great Judge. As you expect mercy upon that day of wrath and dread, when tbe heavens and the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll, the meroy you now show will plead lor you before that gracious Judge; but, oh! remember that If auy con sideration but that of an inftexibls determina tion to give tbe prisoner at tbe bar the benefit of every doubt should enter your judgment, if you should be swayed one hair's breadth from giving him all the mercy bis case demands, then that gracious Judge will turn into a stern and Inflexible ludge, aud In the appalling voice which met the ears of Cain He will thunder out. "Where is thy bro ther Abel?" and, not answering, He will say, "Depart from me;" and In your sunt the sen tinel at heaven's portal will close its ponderous gates upon you lor God's eternity. Mr. Mann then addressed the Jury for tbe it please your Honors Gentlemen of the Jury: After the lapse of days I have the privilege of addressing you now for the first time; 1 now have the right of addressing to f ou such words upon the evidence as I think 1 lequires, such words as I see fit in regard to I he case of the young man who is in your bands, akd in some measure la mine. My colleagues and I have feit the re sponsibility that we assumed, and have endeavored fully to discharge our duty, and we trust that when the case is concluded we ean say that we have done alt that coulu be fairly done for him. If we have shown you the great truths or this ease, you will surely acquit the prisoner; if through any weakness 00 our part, any want of ability la us, we have not so done, then we have failed in the discbarge of our whole duty. Now, gentlemen, 1 am fully conscious I have upon me the weight ol addressing men whose minds are, no doubt. In a measure, made up In regard to this case. I feci that when I come to show yon the great truths thai, shculd tatte ready hold In every honest msn ai d we know you are such I may find tne portuls of your hearts closed against me. I am vonsolous that though a man's heart Is good and generous, yet If bis mind Is con vinced, It wlll,ln a great measure, lnfluenoe, and, perhaps, suppress the promptings of his natural kindness. and the light of a thousand worlds revealed would not brighten bis nnderstandlna. When tbe Great Dispenser of Truth came npon earth and scattered the seeds of good abroad, sosae ot tbem fell upon rooks and brought nofratt. but others fell upon good soil and brought forth Irult an hundred-fold. You, 1 trust, are like unto tbe good soil, and when the truths that at e to be this prisoner's salvation fall u pon you, may they take deep root and bring forth abundant fruit ! Now, gentlemen, this mania before an American Jury, before the American people; you are his peers, and in you he iruats. There are powers that can make and unmake States, but you are the power that can make and unmake men. You are true men, and are therefore told to stand together and hearken to the evidence. And 1 say to you, as tiue men, open the prison doors, and tell that young man to go free. Gentlemen, I am not here to declaim against circumstantial evi dence, but I am tospeak against that perversion of it which has sent hundreds of innocent men to the block. I support true circumstantial evldenoe, such as was shown in the language of tbe great One who spoke la parables, say ing, "By the fruitsye shall know the tree," and "ie cannot gather grapes from thorn trees." When it presents to you, gentlemeu, such a state of facta that you can draw but one reason able theory from tbem, then rely npon it The Commonwealth's officer bas told you that he has presented to vou a chain of circum stances that are like a strong wall about the prisoner. I think I can show you that they have, by the assistance of some over-zealous men, some false men. and some malicious men only brought laggots tor the fire from whloh the truth will rise, like the flry phwulx. re splendent with Its own glory, y ' 10 Now, gentlemen, what would the Common wealth have you believe? Hue would have you believe that this young man, living in this house, on that Sunday night about 9 o'olock. instead of being in bed, as was his usual habit! was sitting up in tbe dining-room. That the old lady went to sleep while be smoked a oigar That he watched a favorable opportunity, and either went down stairs fortbepeker or came np stairs with it, and then kit the old lady over the head with it, afterwards throwing her body ont of the window, washing bis hands and wen t to bed. Now this Is one of their theo rles. What la another? Tbey seek to make you believe that be was alarmed by the ringing of the bell, that be threw the body into the yard, too off his cuffa, collar, boots, shirt, coat, pantaloons, and then hurried to let tbe girl in! Do yon believe, gentlemen, that any murderer ever did such a thing ? Now what is aaother of Uicir theories 7 The j nay have forty for aoKfc, tbat I know. Tbey may say that he was in room with ber tbat be got the poker atr her with it but instead of striking ber the tongue struck her with tne hi struck ber In tbe temple. Their theorlei many and conflicting. What do tbey m We have not heard yet. Wedoa'tanow w their notions are about this. The counsel the Commonwealth tell you now, perhaps, t she lay asleep; that be was by her; that heel nD!llhily and struck her v.ith the pol and then went to bed. Do you. geatlam believe such a story as tha- ? Why, there 1 easily be conceived a thousand ways to m aer tier, with but small chances of detect!

Well, granting that be is aha is it at all probable that he would have adopt such a desperate and risky way of murderl ber as beating ber over tbe bead with a pok acd then throwing ber body from a window? He was alone with the old lady for sevei hours earlier, while the servant girl was 01 why not murder her then If he intended so do, instead of walling until 9 o'clock, when i was almost suie of being luierrupUd by t return of the servant girl? Here, again, ti Commonwealth would nave you believe tii two pertons curried the body to tbe wlndot and hence she cannot conveniently! fl the second person; she says it must bavo be Mis. Iwllohell. Kemeruber, Mrs. Twitolm was upstairs in her chamber. Now. whs brought her down? Why, tne fearful and ag" nlztuciyof her husband when he discovers the mumered body of tne old lady. Bee, sb came down with nothing but a suok throw hastily around her, and maul foiled the mot poignant signs ot conHernatou and grief. An yet the Commonwealth usserls tbat the evt denoe given on this point was simulated evl dtnee. What a pltlfnl case! New, gentlemen, the Commonwealth sayj tbat George 8. Twllchell wat the murderel tbat he perpetrated tbe horror because he had a strong motive to tbe commission of the deed in the hope or obtaining the bouse. How weak. Why, gentlemen, the title was already in thj name of Camilla Twllchell. The property wa bers was In her name she could easily bavi converted It without Mrs. Hill knowing any4 thing about It, Again, the estate was not reverJ tible to Caaalllu Twllchell or her husband, With the extinction of Mn. Hill's lire departed the main portion of tbe means whloh sup ported the prisoner. He had every motive to preserve her life. What were their mutual relations? Of the most harmonious and cor-, dial nalnre. They lived together. George Hj Twitcbell collected the reuta, and did other; business for the old lady. Why, gentlemen.' wuat motive was mere in bis killing her? l I A t I )i1h rtnln t Mr Mnn im... 1.1,1 1 1, A 1 ... ? 1 - ' r -. ...... u -...,.., tw L,1V IVJLV for their inspection the deeds of tbe property at Tenth uud Bine streets, made out In the' name of Camilla Twltchell. He then continued Mrs. Hill Intended evl dently to leave tbe bouse to her daughter, as she had the right to do according to law, and tbe subsequent trouble which arose la the family in relation to the property was wholly due to malicious, Interested persons, and mali cious misrepresentations. A great deal has been said about the prisoner being a fast man. He kept a horse and carriage, and spent much money so it is said. Why. gentlemen, the money which defrayed these expenses was furnished by Mrs. Hill, and with ber death went the means and the luxuries they supported. Who did be drive ont in hia carriage? Why, bis delicate wife. Still he lg a fast man, according to the Commonwealth. But was he not In bis home, with his wife, early every night? Hag it been shown. ,hBL. !?,.. WM ' ont even on. a lodge night T Where Is the money be spent for political purposes ? . Was be embarressed ? No, far from it ! Young, hopeful, and buoyant, he was neither embarrassed lu money affairs nor despairing. Mrs. Hill was kind to blm, loved blm and his wife, took a pride in blm, and will ingly furnished them with all tbe money they needed. Should be then contrive her "taking oft ?" Yet the Commonwealth says that his embarrassments were the motive to his com mission of the deed. How false a tbeory! Kemember. George S. Twltchell went to bed. as was bis wont, early on this Sunday evening, and the house is dark. We know tbat Mrs. Hill was economical In regard to the burning of gas. Now, tbe prisoner says tbat. after re tiring to bis room, ne sat up a little while, and then Mrs. Hill left her room, pasted bis. and went down. As she passed his door she stopped and talked wltn him a few minutes, and then he went to bed, and tbe next be knew was tbe ringing of the bell. Tbe first gentle pulls at the bell did not to rouse him, but when be heard tbe vio lent ringing be Jumped up. His wife wanted to go down, but she was sick and be would not penult her. He pulled on his boots without Blackings, slipped on bis pants and put on nis vest and coat together and went to the bell. As soon as be saw tbe servant he exclaimed, "Why, where Is mother?" is there anything stisDge in tbat? She had gone down stairs when he last saw her, and she ul wave answered tbe bell to let the servant in. Why bad she not done so now ? Tbat is the natural question. And then he said be would find her, and he Blurted to the very place where be naturally supposed she had roup, to the dining-room. But when he was on the stairway he heard the startled cry of tbe servant girl In tbe kltohen, and be Immediately went to her, and there for the first time he was brought la contact with his murdered motber-lu-lavv. She was lying on ber face. Did tbe prosecution dwell on tbat? Oh no! She was lying on her faoe. aud he lilted tbe bead and turned it, and then saw tbe ghastly and bloody face of tbe poor old lady, "O, my God ! my poor mother ! Will nobody help me to take her In ?" and be let her bead drop. Then be and the girl took ber In from tbe yard, and he gets the blood upon bis clothing; and he washes the blood from her face, the mop dripping back and forth. Then come in tbe various; persons, and some one said tne woman bad falUn from the window. But tbe prisoner did rot try to account for it; he clung to his best friend, who had been a mother to him, and called wildly for a doctor, hoping still to bring back tbat life that was so dear to him. He said he heard a groan, and exclaimed, "She lives; go for a doctor !" Was be then to play deteotlve at tbat moment, nosing about in toe blood for the murderer? Oh! wise Judges we are of one another! The cold, callous men, wbo never had a mother murdered in their own houses, came and mistook the very movements of natural affection; the very proofs of Innocence were at once by them construed crnally Into evidences of guilt. There was bis wife, la her loose night-robe, like the man at the helm who sees the-great deluge too late, calls wildly for aid in tbe vain hope of saving her mother. Continued in our later editions).
