Brigham Young has many chill
dfen, and one Of his wives is a schoolmis-
tress to the whole. His two large houses
are well furnished, and his daughters play
on the piano and melodeon. Heis a great
lover of fruit, and warm patron of the
horticultural societies ofUtah. Brigham's
time is completely occupied. He rises
early, and calls the whole of his family
together. They sing hymn and he prays
feryently, and they then separate for the
duties of the day. He takes bis meals at
the long table, and as be has no taste for
the gastronomic refnementk, his fare is
simple. A bowl of bread and milk often
comprises his breakfast His next duty
is to make the rounds 10 see The women
folks To these helfs cordial and kind,
but no more. He is not Brigham the
lover or husband, but Brigham the prophet
and president. He thea goes 10 his office,
which is already besieged by visitors who
have come TO take his advice. Brigham
is by no means paragon of temperance.
He likes cup Of good liquor now and
then, as well as another man, and is some
times seen after having taken drop too
much.

What Makes the Negro Black.

The following explanation by DR.,
Draper, of New York, possesses some
interest. chiefly because it shows what can
be said on the subject
Human blood is made of little cells,
containing among other elements, hnmatin
reddish substance, which is largely made
up OF iron. One of the duties of the liver
is the removing of the old blood cells and
the forming of new ones, and this duty
includes the carrying out from the system
OF all excess of h9niatin. hot climate
disturbs the normal action of the blood
ana also OF the liver. Imperfect oxygen
attends great heat, aud adds to the dark>
ness of the arterial blood, while, by the
want OF energetic respiration which it in
wolves, there is an over fatness and torpidi-
ty of the liver. The hematin, therefore,
by the inaction of the great cleansing
agent, is left in the system, and wander
ing about takes refuge in the lower and
spherical cells of the cuticle, which it thus
bronzes the orange-tawny to negro black,
according TO the heat of the climate, the
inactivity of the liver, and the amount of
hgmatin left as refuse i'll the system.
Cold checks the action of the liver
equally with heat, and, therefore, the com
plexion ofthe Esquimaux approaches that
of the Mongolian and negro. This is
certainly simple and an intelligible ex-
PLANTATION. The tendency of coloring mat
ter to deposit itself in the cuticle is we'll
known. But let it not be thought that
this darkening process is the result of
disordered, inthe sense Of an unhealthful,
action of the liver. In that case it would
appear that Providence desi gned only the
zones to be inhabited, and the
wealth ofthe tropics to be lost to mankind.
In fact, the health and vigor ofthe tropical
tribes show that all the earth is mans
intended dwelling place.

The Man who Fired the Shot.

The first American who discharged his
gun on the day of the battle Of Lexington,
was Ebenezer Lock, who died at Deering,
N. H., about fifty years ago. He resided
at Lexington in 1875. The British Regu-
lars, at the order of Major Pitcairn. hay-
ing fred upon the few rebels on the green
in front of the Westinghouse, killing
some and Wounding others, it was signal
ofwar. THE citizens, writes one, might
be seen coming from all directions, in
roads, over the fields and through the
woods-each with his rifle in his hand,
his powder-horn slung to his side, and his
pocket provided with bullets. Among
the number was Ebernezer Lock. The
British had posted a reserve of infantry
mile in the direction of Boston. This
was III the immediate neighborhood OF
Mr.. Lock, who, instead of Fastening TO
join the party at the green, placed hlm>
self in an old cellar at convenient disS
tanee for doing execution A portion of
the reserve were standing on a bridge,
and Mr.. Lock commenced firing at them,
thought there was no other American in
sight. He wotked valiantly for some
minutes, bringing down one Of the enemy
at nearly every shot. Upon TO this time
not gun had been fred elsewhere by
the rebels. The British, greatly disturbed
at losing so many men by the random
firing of an unseen enemy, were not long
at discovering the man in the cellar, and
discharged yolley of bullets which lodg-
ed on the wall opposite. Mr.. Lock with
in-remaining gunhutt-eontinued to load
and fire with the precision of a finished
marksman. He was driven to such close
quarters, however, by the British on his
right and left, that he was compelled at
last to retreat. He had just one bullet
left, and there was nov but one way to
escape. and that was through an orchard
in the rear. The soldiers were all around
him, one of Them having even gained the
orchard. Not moment was to be lost
he levelled his gun at the man near by
fired, dropped the gun, and thenan was
shot through the heart. The bullets whist
ling abeut him, Lock reached the brink of
a steep bill, and throwing himself upon the
ground, tumbled downWards, rolling; as if
mortaIly wounded. In this way he escaped
unhurt. AT the close of the war he moved
to New Hampshire, where he resided un-
his healh, some twenty years after. He
lived in seclusion and died in peace

rugged iron were luxury for the great
candles were undown. A servant girl
held torch at supper; one or two mugs

drinking apparatus in the house. Rich
gentlemen worn clothes of unlined leather.
Ordinary persons claFcely ever touched
flesh meat. The nobility drank little or
no wine in the summer; little corn
seemed wealth. Women had trivial mar
riage portions; even rich women dressed
extremely plain. The chief part of the
family is expenses were what the males
spent in arms and horses, none of which,
however, were very good or very showy;
and grandees had to pay money on their
lofty towers. In Dante's comparatively
polished times, ladies began 10 paint their
cheeks BY way of finery, going to the
theatre, and to use less assuidity in spin
ming and playing distaff. What is only a
symptom of prosperity in large, is the sure
