BRIGHAM Young IN A PAS
s1oN.-I we may judge from the tone
of a speech recently delivered by
Brigham Young, that 'potentate' VIII
hardly submit without a struggle to
the innovations of the bill to regulate
the mode of selecting jurors in Utah,
and for other purposes, now before
Congress. Hear what the old sinner
says:
If they undertook to try him III a
Gentle court, he would see the Gov
ernmert in hell first, and was ready
to fight the Government the rub,
He had soldiers, and rifles, and PTS
tolls, and ammunition, and plenty OF
it. and cannon too, and would use
them lie was determined on It.
The Governor Of the Territory was
useless, and could do nothing tie
was the real governor of this people,
and by the power of the Most High
he would be, forever and ever. IL
the Gentiles didn't like this, they
could leave and go to hell.

lieve it, andyet it is true, lamentably
true, that il our list of exchanges
this week, We read of twenty-seven
instances where white girls and mar
ried women have absconded with ne
gro men, in many instances the girls
belonging to families of the highest
responsibility. What could induce
white women so outrageOusly to dis
grace themselves and their sex we
are at a loss to imagine.

eleven hours later than the McNear
this week, arrived yesterday morn
ing first, and hereby hangs tale"
too good to be lost. A boy aboard
the McNear, we are informed. came
from his state-room in the morning,
rubbed his eyes and looked forth,
when 10, and behold! the first thing
he espied was the Anderson quietly
lying at her wharf Turning to a
gentleman connected with the boat,
he inquired what steamer that was.
"The Anderson" was the reply.
"How did she get here so soon" was
the next query. "Oh, she had fair
winds" IVES the reply, "and man.
aged to shove along pretty we'll this
time." The boy stood moment in
silent cogitation, when he suddenly
broke forth with: Well, I'll tell
you what we'd better do. We had
better leave here a week ahead of the
Anderson, or else not leave at all -
Wise words, well spoken; but we
fear some Of our friends won't see

law could not be retrospective IN It's
operation, and could not therefore
apply to any but future transactions,
and in these everybody knew very
well how to guard against "dishon-

Now we can give totally different
and much truer reason why the

"The little nest of officials" as our
Walla Walla cotemporary styles

ing that their salaries be pail IN coin,
and they wanted the Legislature to
indirectly bolster up their demand.

Tell me, ye winged winds.
That round my pathway roar,
Do 20 not know some spot
Where mortals weep no morer
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where, free from toll and PAIN
The weary soul may restY
The loud winds softened to q whisper low, =,
And sighed for pity as they answered. MOI
Tell me, thou mighty deep
Whose pillows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some island far away.
Where weary man may md
The bliss for which he signs,
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never diesY
The loud waves, rolling in perpetual nov ~,
Stopped for awhile, and sighed to answer Nos
And thou, serenest moon
That with such holy face
Dost look upon the eartn,
Asleep in nights embrace
Tell me, in all thy round
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable man
Might find happier iot
Behind cloud the moon withdrew IN woe, -,
And voice, sweet but sad, responded MOI
Tell me, my secret SOUL,
Obi tell me, Hope and Faith.
Is there no resting place,
From sorrow, sin and death
Is there no happier spot
Where mortals may be blessed
Where grief may md balm,
And WEAKNESS restf

Truth Stranger than Fiction.

The past history of the families of
Louis Napoleon, and the Sultan OF Tur-
key, is full of interesting and marvellous
incidents, some of which are probably
not generally known to our readers.
These two monarchs, few years ago
so cordially united in the struggle to
maintain the integrity Of the Ottoman
Empire are both, descendants Of Amer
lean ladies; the one grandson, and the
other a great grandson. The ladies we're
born in the same neighborhood, on the
Island of Martinique, one of the West
Indies. They were of French origin,
and companions and intimate friends in
childhood and youth They were jose
phine de Tascher, and Miss s.. The
history of Josephine is generally known.
She went 10 France, and was married to
NJ de Beauharnsis, by whom she had one
son, Eugene, and a daughter, Hortense.
Some time after the death of Beeubarnais
Josephine was married to Napoleon Bo-
naparte and became the Empress Of
France Her daughter, Hortense was
married to Louis Napoleon, then King
Of Holland and the present Emperor of
France is her son by this marriage
But now for the romance of the affair.
Josephine's bosom friend quilted the
island of Martinique sometime before she
did. But the vessel that was carrying
her to France was attacked and taken by
Algerine corsairs, and the crew and pas
sengers made prisoners, but abe corsair
ship was in turn attacked and pillaged
By Tunis pirates, and Miss s. was carried
by them TO Constantinople and offered
for sale as a slave. Her extraordinary
beauty and accomplishments found her
a purchaser in the Sultan himself, and
she soon became the chief lady in his
seraglio, and Sultana of Turkey. Nah
moud II was her son Abdul Meojid was
the son Of Mahmoud; and the present
Sultan Abdul Aziz Khan is the grandson
Of Mahn0ud
Thus the two sovereigns who now oc-
cupy so large q space in the worlds eye,
are descended from two American Creole
girls, who were plsymates in their youth,
and as remarkable for their beauty and
excellent dispositions as for their varied
and singular fortunes. Both these women
in the height of their power, remembered
the friends Of their youth, and provided
muuifcently for their welfare. Many OF
the relatives of the Sultana left the
island of Martinique and settled at Con-
stantinople, where their descendants
still reside, aud enjoy the favor OF the
Sultan.
