Gentle innocently driving out a fair
Saint; both ayerird their faces IS thew
passed ms, but my companions color
darkened, All races have their pet pro
hibitions and ayersons, their likes and
dislikes, in matters Of sin. Among the
Mormons suspicion Of immortality Is
more hateful than the reputation of
bloodshed. SO .thieying In the
western States is higher crime than any
other-in fact, the sin which is never
forgiven. An editor thus unceremoni-
ously sums up theehistory Of one lately
shot when plundering stock: Gle was
buried by those who meeted out 10 him
summary justice, not exactly according
10 law, but upon a more speedy, econom
ical, and salutary principle, and a stake
was placed at the head Of the grave, on
which was inscribed, "A. b. b, shot
for horse stealing, July /, 1860"

Dodging the Militia Fine.

In days gone by, when the objection.
able military laws were in force in sober
old Massachusetts, the customary draft
was made in country town few milos
from Boston, and a notice TO appear
"armed and equipped according TO law"
was left at the boarding house of a wag.
who had but little martial music in his
soul. Determined that he would neither
train nor pay a fine, and entertaining
withal very indifferent opinion of the
utility of the system, he took no notice
OF the summons,
Having been duly warned" however.
as he expected, at the expiration of few
weeks the sergeant waited upon him with
bill of nine shillings for non attendance
At the muster.
You're fined, sir--nine shillings-lor

what is it?" said the wag, pretending
TO misunderstood the collector.
"a fine for not training" drawled the
other.

But the wag couldn't hear word be
said, and in the course of another month
no received q peremptOry summons 10

the district, instituted for the purpose Of
trying dclinquents and collecting such
as could be scared ont Of the nom per

he waited npon the said court, which was
held in an old county house, where he
found three or four persons seated, attir-
ed in tlashy regimenials, and whose aW
full yaller epAulettes were enough 60 com

Of the beholder.
! Though somewhat disconnected at this
exhibition of spurs and buttons, he nut
a bold face on the matter and respond.
ing TO the directions of the Junior mem
her Of the august court, he advanced 10
the table, and The chief functionary com
menced the examination;
"YOur name, sir"
The offender placed his hand quickly
on his ear, without uttering q word or
moving a muscle Of his face.
"WhRt is your name ~ repeated the
questioner in a louder tone.
A little louder" said the wag.

BBIoHAN YOUNG AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS.
OF late he seldom leaves his house ex-
cept for the Tabernacle; when inclined
for 4 picnic, the day and the hour are
kept secret. Il 10 said that Mr.. Brigham
Young, despite his powerful will and
high moral courage, docs not show the
remarkable personal intrepidity Of Mr..
joseph Smith; his followers deny this
but il rests on The best and rairesl Cen
tile evidence. He has guards at his gates,
and he never appears in public unattend-
ed by friends and followers, who are Of
course armed. That such mental snom-
ally often exists, those familiar with the
biographies of the Brahmin officials at
the courts Of PoonSh, Sattara, and other
places in India, well know; many a
Pant whose reckless audacity in in :
trigue, conducted under imminent danger
of life, argued the courage Of a Cmur de
Lion, was personally fearful as Hobbies,
and displayed at the death the tcrrors Of
RobespieTe. A moment of fear is re-
counted of St. Peter; Erasmus was not
the siuir Of which martyrs are made, and
even the tegU 9dbreU, once ran. However,
in the case Of the Prophet there is an
absolute necessity for precautions: as
Geniilcs have themselves owned 10 me-
many q ruliian, if he found an opportu-
nifty, would, from pure love of notorieiy,
even without stronger incentive, Try his
revolver or his Bowiekniie upon the big
Mormon
WHAT BRIGHAM YOUNG LOOKS LIKE.
The Prophet was born at Nottingham,
Vermont on the lst of June, 1901 /; he
was consequently, in 1860, iifty-nine
years of age; he looks about forty five.
la celeJ,5te JiaLht-I had expected to see
a venerable-lOoking old man. Scarcely
gray thread appeared in his hair which
is parted on the side, light colored, rather
thick, and reaches below the cars with a
half curl. He formerly wore it long,
after Che western style now il is cut
level with the ear-lobes. The forehead
is somewhat narrow, the eyebrows are
thin, the eyes between gray and blue,
with a calm, composed, and somewhat
reserved expression a slight droOp in the
left lid made me think that he had suf-
fered from paralysis; | aTtcrward heard
that the ptOsis is the result Of neuralgia
which has long tormcnted him. For this
reason he usually covers his head, except
in his own house or in the tabernacle
! The nose, which is fine and somewhat
sharp pointed, is bent little to the left
The lips are close like the New Eng
lander's and the teeth, especially those
of the under jaw, are imperfect. The
checks are rather tleshy, and the line be-
tween The aln Of the nose and the moutl
is broken the chin is somewhat peaked

was unwilling TO add to the number
OF those who had annoyed the Prophet
by domestic illusions, and therefore have
no direct knowledge OF the extent TO
which he carries polygamy; some Cen
tiles allow him seventeen, others thirty
six, out Of a household of seventy mem
bers; others an indefinite number Of
wives scattered throughout the different
settlements? OF these, doubtless many
are but wives by name, such, for in
stance, as the widows Of the late Prophet;
and others are married more for the pur-
pose Of building up for themselves spir
itual kingdoms than for the normal pur-
pose of matrimony. When treating Of
Mormon pOlygamy, l shall attempt 10
show that the relation between the sexes
as lately regulated by the Mormon faith
nccessitates polygamy. should judge
the Prophets progeny to be numerous
from the following circumstance: On one
occasion, when standing with him on the
bclvidere, my eye fell upon a new cree
ton; il could be compared externally 70
nothing but an English gontleman's
hunting stables, with thoir little clock
tower, and | asked him what il was in
tended for. "A private school for my
children" he replied, "directed by Broth
or T.. b. Kelsey" The harem is said IA
have cost 100000.
Here are some peculiar traits of Nor

The fraternal address gives patrlarcha
