PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING.

The following poetic effusion, addressed
to Brigham Young. was published in the
Deseret Neus, of Salt Lake, on the 18th ult
The Neos is Brigham's church organ, and it
is presumed that the eulogistic sentiments
contained in this contribution, as well as the
startling historical fact set forth, (which
throws Darwins theory completely in the
shade-both comport with the feelings and
belief of all true followers of MIR. Young.
Preceding the effusion was the following
note:
OMAHA, CozzEN's HoTEL,
February 7th, 1873.
To the Editor of the Descret News.
valuable paper and my feelings, must say,
are in accordance with the sentiments gen.
orally expressed therein.
am a great admirer of Brigham Young,
and think he has done much to amellorate
the conditions of his fellow man. He is to
my mind the greatest pioneer of this the
nineteenth century, and also the best abused
man.
have been lately resident of Utah, hay
ing worked hard in the mines there, and
eventually succeeded in making sufficient
raise to enable me to return and settle down
in my native State, New York, whittier am
now going.
l beg to enclose few lines of poetry ad-
dressed to Brigham Young. l am, sir,
Yours obediently,
EPTIRAIM BOLIVIAN.
TO BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Brigham, the Pioneer of the West,
America is proud Of you to-day;
Right gladly does she rank you with the best.
She's had of sons whO've bravely paved the way,
mean the way to peace, well as plenty,
Offered to all who choose to toll
Giving good chance to nineteen out of twenty
Newcomers to this rich and fertile soil.
Has fame not said alike to and all
Of Utah, that she is the richest land on earth,
A perfect mine of glittering mineral?
Foremost she leads the ranks of sterling worth;
Mammon, for which poor human kind is striving,
Abundant is within this peaceful land.
" u the man who've aided us in thriving
Brigham, we offer you our thankful hand.
OF hardships you have had larger share, III
think, than falls to lot of many man.
Utah sterile desert was and BARE
The time its drsary face you first did scan
No matter, you mighty work have done.
Columbia's sons united voices raise, ''
Greeting as One the noble acts of one
Her sons ne'er forget, ne'er cease to praise.

reduction. Of that dob. 80 in their unpleasant

reductions Of that debt. 80 in their unpleasant
dilemma thew talk, apparently In eli seriousness Of
stopping the public works which have already been
ordered by Congress and partly constructed. This
miserable make-shift simply delays the day Of re-
covery-puts over to the future what ought to be
paid to-day-or il must be taken an admission
that the ordering Of these works was the result Of
improyident legislation. 1t is quite clear that Con-
gress lacks the courage to face the people with
proposition for increased taxation and after the
Secretary shall have issued the remnant of his s4,-
100000 reserve it is more than probable that some
new scheme for further imitation will be devised and
put in force, and Ithst things will "go kiting" +"
again till we get ready for the next panic.
Stock speculation has been dull and quiet all day,
and apparently without any new causes to effect
the market either way. At the opening stocks were
on the whole firm, and steady tone prevailed until
about noon when prices yielded fraction and the
later ruling was heavy though no decided disposi-
ton to sell was apparent, and there was slight
rally at one time during the Second Board. The
failure of the Executive Committee of the Western
Union Telegraph Directors at their meeting last
night to take steps looking to scrip dividend may
have somewhat influenced the course of the market
though il would perhaps be difficult to ex-
plain why it should. At the meeting referred to a
resolution was passed directing that statement of
the business of the Company be made up to JAN / !;
also that the net earnings of the Company hereafter
be applied to dividends instead of to the construc
tion of new lines. Western Union was the leading
stock to-day, and after this Union Pacific, Lake
Shore ST. Paul, Ohos c.. C. and !. c.. and Pacific
Mail attracted most attention In the investments,
Harlem sold at 122; Michigan Central, IS; Panama,

Preferred q to 2S In the coal stocks Consolidation
fetched 49l. and in miscellaneous shares Canton
