Brigham YOung's Favorite Wife.

he nau niucCceu Wives uulA ielt, auo hoi'y
FIVE children.
How does he support them?
Well, the most cf them support themselves.
Brigham compels them to do it. For instance
he only allows enough to each one to purchase
the bare uecessaries of life-calico dresses !
Women in Utah have the same pride and am-
bition about their personal appearance that
they have anywhere else. If they want any
thing better, they are compelled TO take III
boarders or do sewing, or something OF that
sort. That is the way he treats all OF them
but the favorlte, Amelia Fulsom. She dresses
In silk and satin, eats at the same table With
him, and does nothing all day. The rest eat
In the same dining room, and they arc cOmpell-
ed to look on. Fulsom eau do anything she
likes with him.
1t would be interesting to know WHICH of the
pineteen wives was able to capture Brigham,
aud maintain an asceudency over him. How is
she able to manage him :?
BY her temper, she has an awful temper, and
she can scold him into anything.
Is she good looking? No, she is ugly, and
over forty years old. They say | am jealous,
but that is not the case.
Well, then does her charms lie in her intel
levi No, [ amt jealous of her bit She is
the reverse ofrefned- d-iudeed, ,she is the coarsest
aod most vulgar of all the wives of MIR. Young.
Her reputation is bad-that is it was bad un-
til she married Brigham. / don't like to re-
peat what is said about her all over Salt Lake.
She rules him by her strong will and bad tem-
per.
How does he manage the rest of his wives !?
He keeps them at distance, and no famili
arisy is allowed from them. They don't dare
to speak to him except now and then when he
is extra good natured. Brigham has been
good deal ola Art in his day. There is no ex-
cuse for his meannes. toward his wives, because
he is euormousy y wealthy. st. Louis Globes

A MISSING BosroN LADY-Mrs. Ada s.
Badger, the lady missed from her home 10
Boston few days since, and who is supposed
to have arrived in this city on Wednesday
morning on the steamer Newport, has not yet
been heard from by her friends, although the
most strenuous efforts have been made to as
certain her whereabouts. Mrs. Badger, it is
supposed, left her home in a moment of mental
arrangement, for the reason that she left let
tiers to her husband, brother and son before
she took her departure from Boston. In the
letter directed TO her husband she stated that
she was conscious of approaching insanity, and
preferred death to such fate as she feared

son. Theodore, was written at the Old Colony
railway depot, in which she iDclosed her mar
riage ring and requested that he should keep
it, and to care for his father.
From information obtained, her friends are
confident that the lady sailed on the steamer
Newport from Fall River, and have sent for
photographs for the purpose of ascertainlng if
the walters aud stewards of the Newport will
recognize in them the likeness of the lady who,
these think, was Mrs Badger Her friends in
this CITY, one of whom is MIR. VIM. H. Badger,
of No. lO2 Broadway, states that the lady's
insanity is attributed to overwork 10 the dis
charge of her duties as principal of a school,
founded by her in Boston, as her relationship
with her family was of the most affcctionate
character Mrs. Badger is lady of great
ability, refinement and culture. She was one
of the four ladies who were elected to the Bos-
ton Board Of Education at the last election.

HEATING OF BUILDINGS Warming build
ings, especially large ones used for public pur-
poSes is matter of commanding interest.
Under our present systems the temperature
Of such structures is frequently either too high
or too low. thus interfering with the comfort of
those occupying them in material degree. 1t
is claimed that under peculiar system the vast
Cathedral of St. Paul, London, is heated so
perfectly that there is seldom a variation of
temperature in any part Of the interior greater
than two degrees. And this is effected by the
use of number of powerful stoves, of peculiar
construction, number of which are placed in
the crypt, and have large gratings over them,
through which the warm air ascends, while
others are provided with downcasts for the
cold descending current to be warmed The
cost of the fuel Is estimated to be about two
cents per hour for each stove; the whole of
them, however, are not used at one time, except
in very severe weather. The average cost of
the whole fuel consumed during the three win
ter months is stated to be not more than S25
per week. 1t costs vastly more than this sum
to warm large buildings in this country, aud
the matter should be looked into both on the
score of health and economy.-Boh Sun.
