BRIGHAM YOUNG. .-Bayard Taylor writes
rom Salt Lake City to the New York Tribune:

ulshed room, divided by wooden screen from
q dim back Office. The floor was carpeted, a
circular table, with great globe of gold fish
was in the centre, sofas and chairs were on eth
er side, and the walls were covered with pic.

Alpine landscapes, and chromotint of Bier

artist mad sent to Brigham Young. We took
seats upon one of the sotas while two or three
strangers, apparently Mormons from the coun-
try, waited on the opposite one. In few min.
utes Brigham Dung CAME out from his Office.
At the hrst glance you would take him to be
successful bank or railroad president, and his
quick, straightforward, business like manner
carries out the impression. After he is seated,
however, and you have chance of observing
his features more closely, the signs of quality
with which bank presidents are not accustom-
ed to deal begin to manifest themselves. He
is both short and broad, but his thickness gives
the impression of strength, rather than corpu.
lence. Although sixty nine years old, thero is
no gray in his sandy hair, and his small blue
eyes are keen and full of power. His head
IS large and approaching to squareness in
its form, and his complexion is strong,
healthy red. His thin, frmseL mouth
and large jaws express an indomitable
energy. The general expression of his face
is at once reticent and watchful In his greet.

rather than a natural courtesy. His voice is
mild, even toned and agreeable, and I can i'm
aglne that he might make himself fascinating
TO women, most of whom iod peculiar charm
in playful and purring lion. He said but
little at first, and Il thought) seemed to be
holding himself secretly at bay for questions
which | did not intend to ask. By and by,

freely and fuently, and gave me considerable |
information concerning tbe remote southern |
counties On all points of material growth he |
was frankly communicative. While he was |
talking studied his face sufficiently to detect
the tbrec chief qualities of his nature-great
prudence, great detcrm natlon, and great BE-
lief IN himself. ~
During the visit his eldest son, Mr. Joseph
A. Young, came into the room. tie Is tall,

TERRIBLE TRAeEDY.-The st. Louis he

Some months since Miss Abbie Summers
went from Quincy, where her parents reside

GOOD family and possessed of some means, but
his manners and character were repulslVe 70
the lady, and his repeated proposals TOR her
hand we're rejected. This i'll luck in his suit
seems to have greatly irrltated his natural
disposition, and he had been heard to threaten
any one who should ever be more fortunate ~
