A MORMON WITH HIS WIVES AND BAFITs
EN-ROUTE FOR UTAH.

l A good Mormon story is told by
friend of ours nov travelling in the West
looking after the commercial interests o
the house with which he is connected, ans
who possesses large fund of shy wit
which is brought admiralty into play OF
all fitting occasions.
/ While stopping short time since at g
hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, it happened thai
the Marsh Children, troupe Of juveiiile
comedians familiar to us all numbering rs
or so, arrived and put up at the same
house.
! Their frs. appearance in the dining
room naturally attracted great attention
and many were the inquiries made in ref
erence to them, who and what they were
where from anu whittier they were going,
&c, &c.
They occupied an entire table-all I'm.
der tu elve years of age, dressed alike and
nearly all girls, with five or six middle
aged felnales-their teachers-sprinkled
among them. AT the head of the table
sat Mr.. Marsh himself, grave, solemn and
dignitied in manner, a sort of Alexander
Selkirk in small way, monarch of all he
surveyed. At the table and by the side
Of Mr. Quiz sat two or three ge ntlemen
somewhat rural in their aspect, who were
evidently good deal mystlied at this sr'-
pearance of things, and putting the ques-
Lion of what it meant, they were informed
hat the grave parsonage at the head OF
the table was delegate from Brigham
Young, prominent and noted Moriiion,
on bis way to Washington to settle with
the President the difficulties in Utah. and
the elderly ladies present were his s wives
and the thirty children were portion
of his progeny.
The thing took. The "rurals," after
taking good look at Mr.. Marsh. then at
the family arrangements, retired, and the
house, as we'll as the town itself, was soon
| in cominotion,all eager to look upon true
prophet and his harem, ''amazing smart
children for their kind" says one. "What
an old wretch" responds whole troupe
Of Cleveland ladies, as they a0ould gaze
and stare at the Utah saint with all their
eyes. =.
| The children at last became alarmed
their teachers next, and Marsh was quite
beside himself, not knowing whether to
| look upon all these attentions as favorable
to his success, or pretending something
of Il more serious nature. Thesmatter fl
nally exploded and there was general
scattering, with a giggling accompani-
rnent by the ladies, and hearty outlaws on
the part of the men who were sold. Mr..
Marsh determined to show his card-or-
Tered his bills to be imne,'sately posted,
while Qniz himself stepped on to the cars
in pursuit of business and further adyen,
lure. We hope he found both.

Republicans AMI their neophytes, who
have been recently initiated into their mys,

loving embraces of Douglas, Hale u Com
