Brigham Young.

Brigham Young is doing the domes-
tic lecturing himself just now. Here
is an extract from one of his little
family talks:
Il wish my women to understand
that what / am going to say is for them
as well as others, and / want those
who are here to tell their sisters; yes,
all the women in the community. L
am going to give you from this time to
the 9th of October next for reflection,
that you may determine whether you
wish to stay with your husbands or
not, and then am going to set every
woman at liberty, and say to them now
90 your way. And my wives have got
to do one Of two things, either round
ND your shoulders to endure the affilc-
tions of this world, and live their re-
ligion-that is polygamy-or they must
leave; for will not have them about
me. Twill go into heaven alone rather
than to have scratching and fighting
about me. I will set all at liberty
What, first wife, too? Yes, l liber-
ate you all. l want to go somewhere
or do something to get rid of the whln-
ers."

OUR MOTHER.

Our mothers lost her youthfulness
Her locks are turning gray,
And wrinkles take the place of smiles
She's falling every day,
We gaze ut her in sorrow now,
For though we've ne'er been told
Our mothers growing old.
Our mothers lost her youthfulness,
Her eyes grow dim with tears,
Yet still within her heart there shines
Some light of other years;
For oft she'll speak in merry tones,
Smile as in youth she smiled,
AS o'er her heart some memory steals
OF when she was child.
Our mothers lost her youthfulness,
The light step has grown slow,
The graceful form has learned to stoop
The bright cheek lost its glow.
Her weary hands have grown SO thin,
Her dear hands tremble now;
passing away" in sad deep lines,
Istraced upon her brow.
Our mothers lost, her youthfulness,
Her smiles are just as kind,
Her tones to us are soft as erst-
Where should we dearer find?
But as we note the trembling tongue,
And mark the STOPPING form,
A sad voice whispers to our hearts
aye cannot keep her long,"
Our mothers lost her youthfulness,
We see 1t every day,
And feel more drearily the truth,
She soon must pass away.
All! even now the "boatman pale"
We fear is lowering nigh;
Waiting. with white sails all unfurled
He will not heed our cry.
But gently bear the wearied form
Into the phantom bark
She will not fear-CHRIsT went before,
The way will not be dark:
And safe beyond the troubled stream,
Her tired hearts strife DER,
Our angel mother, glorified.
Will grow old neyermore.

The Poorest Man In America.

Wealthy men are often credited with
greater riches than they possess, and
frequently, after diligent inquiry into
their resources, find that they have set
too high limit to their possessions.
1t therefore rarely happens that a man
astonishes himself with his own wealth;
yet little on dit attributes bit OF
this amazement to Mr.. A. L. Stewart.
Il is probably generally known that
Mr.. Stewart took steamer for Europe
last week.-It is not so generally
known that before his departure he
made his will.-Prior to making his
will it was thought advisable to pre-
pare a schedule Of his real and personal
estate, with its valuation. Upon the
completion Of the schedule, much to
the surprise of Mr. Stewart, and to
the greater surprise of his friends, 1t
was found that he was worth one hun
dred million dollars. That any Ameri-
can citizen should be possessed OF so
great wealth almost surpasses belief,
but the truth of the foregoing state
ment is well authenticated.

PRODUCTION OF IRON.
How Our Iron Interests May PrOfltably
be Advanced.
From the Nashville Banner.

FROM the NaS1Nulc DdnucI.
The Tracy City blast furnace is not
an experiment IN making hot blast
iron, but is to test and prove the idea
as to whether pig iron can be pro6tably
produced with farnace so small as
this one. As Rev. Dr. Baird states,
and he ought to know, as he sat by it
for nearly week and saw the whole
operation, it has proved perfectly sue
cessful.
1t is not presumed that iron can be
produced as cheap in so small furn-
ace as in larger one, but there is
margin enough in the price of raw
material at this point, and the present
high price of iron, to justify the erec-
ton of small furnaces. Iron can be
produced in Nashville, at three tens
per day, So per ton cheaper than il can
be produced in Pittsburg at forty tens
per day. Notifications may yet be in
troduced to make the small furnaces
as economical as large ones. The
present furnace will make three tons
of iron per day, with so bushels per
ton of Sewanee coke. The only excess
is in the labor account. But the diff
ference in the interestaccount between
a $4,000 investment and Sl50, 900
investment, will, / think, go long
way toward balancing the excess in
labor.
We have waited for years for capi-
talists to develop our resources. There
are untold millions of mineral wealth
undeveloped, in the shape of coal and
iron in Tennessee, and it is the COM
paratively poor man that must bring it
out. This small furnace at Tracy has
been built for this special purpose, and
it has successfully proved that man
with less than 100000 can build a
profitable blast furnace.

THE BANKRUPT DISTRICT GOT-
ERNMENT. ~ aa -
From the Nashville Banner.

From the Nashville Banner.
The territorial government Of the
District of Columbia was created es-
pecially to reward the partisans OF the
Grant administration, and it has been
piling up debt at fearful rate during
the short time it has beenin existence.
Desperate efforts have been made by
the Republican officials to conceal the
true amount of the debt thus created.
Referring to the statement sent from
Washington some time since by the
associated Press, to the effect that the
debt of this District was but nine
millions of dollars, Forney's Sunday
Chronicle of the Bird inst, publishes
carefully tabulated statement showing
that the debt is already seventeen mil
lions, and that it will require eight
millions more before the present i'm
provements are completed. In des-
pair of paying this immense debt with
out the aid of the government, this
administration paper moralizes as fol-
lows:
mo sane man will admit that the
taxable property of the District can
bear the burden of debt of twenty
FIVE millions, as it will reach his figure
before we get through, and at the same
time carry on the present system of
government. Our only hope is for
Congress either toassume the whole or
at least one half of our debt, and in
the future to assume the expenses of
the District over and above what is
realized by q tax of one dollar and
fifty cents per one hundred dollars ON
taxable property. This the people
could bear without sacrifice, and would
be a fair proportion of what they
should be held liable for. As a step
toward this reform let the present Gov
ernment be wiped out, or If the people
are to govern let all the offcere be
elected, and not humbug US with the
miserable farce with which we are al
fiicted at present, which from its very
origin, has been the source of profigacy
and expense largely in excess of the
expenditures of many of the State
Governments of the country. This is
subject entirely in the hands of the
people, and iftbey move with the prop
er spirit the remedy can be easily
reached. 1t is rumored, and and in
fact semi-of6cially announced, that
the Governor and Board of Public
Works intend to retire at the meeting
of Congress, giving as an excuse that
they are tired of the job, or in other
words, that the old ship has more
freight than she can carry, and the
best that can be done under the cir
eumstances is to scuttle her and let
her go. Well, anything for change,
even if the old craft should have to be
rebuilt"

Scotch Points.

1t is related of a noble Scottish
lady of the olden times, who lived IN
q remote part of the Highlands, and
was noted for her profuse liberality,
that she was sometimes overburdened
with habitual ''sorners." When any
one of them out-stayed his welcome,
she would take occasion to say to him

at the rest of the company. Max a
guild breakfast, Mr.. -, while ye-re
about it; We dinna ken whaur yell get

taken, and the ''sorner" departed. For
a short time after the Disruption an

ministers of the Established Church
and their protesting brethren. Several
