President Brigham Young. On the

the attachment grew between them,
our Romeo CT devant impressed his fair
Juliet in weeds with the importance of

GEN. CAss.-Gen Cass returned to
Washington on Saturday Morning, in
fine health. He made the trip from
Detroit in thirty-eight hours. In form.
er years when railroads were unknown,
and a voyage down the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi was regarded as no ordinary un-
dertaking, trips between Detroit and
Washington were taken on horseback,
and were rarely accomplished under
twenty-five days. Gen. G. has often
made the trip between the two cities on
horseback, the journey then occupying
nearly as many days as it now takes
hours. 1885,.
