POLYGAMY.
Its Intellectual Effects-A Talk with
one of Brigham Young's Wives

} Zobeide, the seventietk and favorite wife
/ of Brigham Young, has been visiting wash
ington, and female correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Press had an interview with
her. She describes her as ''a pale, amber
haired blonde, the classic cast OF whose
countenanee might have answered for eth
er sculptor or painter, but she wouldn't be
drawn out" Here is an account OF the
interview ZEs.
Though she is rib nearer his heart to-
day, woman with q ruddier cheek may
crowd her aside tomorrow. Woman, is
she living, breathing, poisoned on the edge
lof frightful precipice? Yesl But Wo-
man with the fire of life smouldering in the
ashes-no rolIicking fame. A woman who
would leave room colder for having pass
ed through it. Conversation darted hlther
and thither like Noah's dove who could
find no rest for the sole of her foot. The
watery waste of speech was all around US,
but the Gentle was afraid and the saint
coldly Indifferent. The Gentle ventured
to ask if the queen was not pleased with
the prosperity of our country, and was it
not astonishing, after such a prolonged civil
war?
She ''hadn't been accustomed to think
much about these things"
GLOW does Utah compare with this part

Fearful pause
'Have you called upon Mrs. Grant,"
F'No, [ never call upon ladies, but in

[ wouldn't like to tell them at home that [
hadn't seen him."
The Gentle kindly alluded to the fact
that Joseph Smith was an old acquaintance
Of her family, and although her father diff
fered with him in belief, yet, as neighbor,
he was trusted with many of his first rev.
elations.
No response; the electric current of the
mind would not work.
Our meeting was like the greeting of two
planets whose paths happened to almost
intersect. We neared each other for mo-
ment, only to separate, each flying from
the other, and one, if not both of us, feel
the awful effect Of human fanaticism when
it comes between two citizens of the same
Republic.

A $500. 900 Diamond,


A few days ago a gentleman came up the
river on the steamer New Boston, who
privately exhibited to the officers of that
packet a diamond in the rough, which, in
its unpublished state, is supposed to be
worth somewhere in the vicinity of $780,
900. 1t is further supposed to be the sec
ond or third diamond in size in the world.
1t is about the size of walnut, is perfectly
transparent, and has the power of magni-
flying to the same extent as a first quality
glass. The lucky possessor found it at
his home in the gold mining dis
tricts of Nova Scotia, and also stated
that he had found one or two small ones,
one Of which he sold for So, 600 in its
rough state. To convince the officers of
the boat he produced files OF Nova Scotia
papers containing accounts of the finding
Of the diamond, minute descriptions of the
same, descriptions Of the finder, and other
evidence too indisputable to be questioned
He also showed letters from prominent New
York jewelers., who had examined the
prize, one of which was from the house of
Ball, Black & Co. He is going to Iowa to
see about landed investments, with a view
of some day locating there. He proposes
to have the diamond polished, and sell it
to some crowned head if possible. For
the benefit Of the ladies we will state that
we don't know whether he is married or
not.

Deficit in q RrnnkIYn Bank.

Only little more than one month since
Mr. William G. Rushmore, late President
of the Atlantic Bank, died fearful death.
AS was necessary, his successor was ap-
pointed to take charge of the affairs of the
bank. Motives of delicacy prompted the
directors to postpone the immediate ap-
pointment of another president, so Mr.,
George S. Puffer was called upon to act
pro tenn. He went to his work expecting
to find it nn easy task. for great confidence
had been placed upon the capacity of Mr.
Rushmore as shrewd business man, ard up
on his unclouded integrity. But, as Mr. Puffer
advanced step by step in his examination
Of books end papers, he became satisfied
that grave errors had been committed
somewhere. Instead of showing the banks
capital, $500, 600, to be secure, he discoy-
cred deficiency of some $685. 600 in its
securities, while surplus of about $780,,
600 more, that was supposed to be in its
strong vaults, was not on hand. A more
thorough investigation by the directors
only verified the statement of Mr.. Putfer,
and now realizing the brink to which they
had been brought, they set to work to find
where the leak had been. It was too easily
traced to transactions of their late Presi-
dent, who, it was discovered, had made
large advances to a contractor on securities
that the directors had declared to be insult
fcient. Again, they found the deceased to
have speculated largely in real estate, the
transactions being in his own name, but
the deeds placed in the bank to secure it,
as would seem from label Oh the package
which is so indorsed
Rumors reached the street some days
since that the security of the institution
was precarious, which led to limited run
on it. This, however, was quickly quelled
by the action Of the directors pledging
themselves to secure all depositors and for
the general safety of the bank. This so
assured those wholhad removed their depos-
its that they Immediately returned them.
Some of the largest concerns in the city
have always deposited there; amongst 9TH
ers the Brooklyn City Gas Company, the
Brooklyn Railroad Company, the Union
Ferry Company, and the Board of Educa-
ton. The directors were about to reor-
ganize the bank under the State system,
when the crisis occurred, but now that is
over, it is expected that the change will be
effected without delay.-M z. HorId,

SINKING OF A STEAMER. Between 10 and
II o'clock Tuesday morning, the Liverpool
steamer Russia was coming up the bay un-
der full head of steam. About five hun,
dred yards ahead of her, and little to
her left, near the Jersey flats, lay anchored
the Austrian ship Figlia Maggiore, which
arrived from Marseilles on the oath inst,
with cargo valued at 5000, 00O for the
firm Of Funch, Meincke & Wendt, of this
city. When the two ships had come into
this relative position, the Russia slipped
intoaE eddy that swept her from her course
and made the situation exceedingly critic
al. The engines were instantly backed,
and all was done that could be done under
the circumstances to prevent collision;
but their attempts were useless, and the
steamer swung around toward the Figlia,
moved rapidly down upon her, and strucl
her on the port side, abaft the forward rig
ging, with fearful shock, nearly cutting
her in two. The crew of the ship had pre-
p red for the collision. and sprang into

Strange Abduction in Toledo.

The Toledo Blade gives the following ac-
count of a strange case of abduction which
recently occurred in that city:
ga girl about fourteen years of age
daughter of Mr.. J.-B. Freeman, who lives
on Eleventh street. near Indiana avenue,
attends school at the convent. On Mon
day afternoon last after returning from
school, she went from the house short
distance the time being about five o'clock,
to look for pet dog that had gone to a
neighbor's yard. While absent from the
house she was accosted by well-dressed
tall, genteeIIooking, black-eyed, black
whiskered individual, who asked her if she
could tell him where a Mr.. Hamilton
lived. She gave him the information, when
he said he thought there must be some
mistake about it; he had been walking
around the neighborhood Indicated, for
some time, but could not find the house,
and asked her if she would please accom-
pany him to the place and show him the
residence. She consented to do So AMI
after taking the dog home returned to
where the man was sawaiting her, and walk
ed with him some distance toward the
house, which she pointed out to him.
Thanking her politely for her trouble, he
then extended to the girl little nosegay
that he had been carrying in his hand, and
begged her to accept it as a return for her
kindness. She accepted the flowers and
put them to her nose.
stFrom that time Miss Freeman has but
! a vague recollection of occurrences for sew
eral hours. She says that at one time she
remembers Of walking on the streets in a
! strange part of the city, with the same un-
known companion near her, and asked him
to take her back to her home; but he
merely gave a little chuckIing laugh, and
said: ''Ah, ha, my little duck, I've got you
nowr' The next she remembered she was
riding in a close covered carriage, alone
with the stranger who was sitting opposite
! to her. At that time he told her that she
was completely in his power, and she must
| tell him where her father kept his money;
If she did not tell, the consequences would
be terrible, both to her and to the family.
But the poor girl protested that she knew
nothing about her fathers money, or where
he kept it. The stranger then said he was
her fathers deadly enemy, and he would
vet have further vengeance on him, this
having been a part of his plans.
'FMiss Freeman again became uncon-
scious, and her Hext recollection of events
was about ten o'clock that night, when. on
awaking from her stupor, she was lying on
the door steps of the residence of Mr.. E.
UPTON. some three or four miles from the
city, on the Sylvania road. Her arms were
fastened at the wrists. being tightly bound
with veil that had been taken from her
head.
s'Regaining her feet she walked to the
door and raped, and soon succeeded in
arousing the family, when she was admit
ted and told her pitiful story. While in
4 the house she discovered that gold
breastpin with coral setting had been taken
from her neck, and a plain gold ring from
her finger. -
