Brigham Young's First Wife

The Salt Lake Tribune says 1t will be
remembered that in his now celebrated
'answer" in the Ann Eliza divorce case,
Brigham Young made oath that he had
but one wife-Mary Ann Angell-who was
lawfully married to him ON the 10th of Jam
uary, 1884. This venerable woman, whose
relation to the prophet and his celestial
concubines" has been that OF drudge and
social outcast for a quarter of a century,
first saw the legal document recognizing

the Tribune containing the important con-
fession of her faitless husband was placed
in her hands, when, with tears streaming
down her sad, wan cheeks this sole and
only wife of cruel tyrant read the instru-
ment over and over again, until satisfied
that at last the hand of righteousness had
sent his consoling sage. After many long
and weary years of desolation, in which no
love, no sympathy. cheered her life, the de-
serted wife finds the law of her country a
friend she never hoped for i'll the world, and
looking up toward the giver of all blessings
thanked Him that his name was vindicated
among men. Forgiving the Unreasonable
wrongs and he -burnings of her best years,
this woman, true to woman's nature, kissed
the words which declared her the wife of
her own husband, and wept with joy on
finding that though deserted, she was yet
entitled to the highest dignity which Chris
tianity and Christian civilization can bestow
upon her sex.

question, the lawyer referring to the animal,
but the witness understood that he meant

To Go to Sleep.

With many people who are past the me-
ridian of life, it often becomes difficult to
obtain good nights sleep; indeed. the
habit of waking at a certain hour OF the
night and lying awake for several hours be-
comes fixed, aud one which is very diificntt
to throw off. There may be various causes
which will produce this effect, but there is
one very prominent cause, and that Is lndl-
aestion: and i, digestion is often caused by
the habit OF drinking too much tea or other
fluids at supper; the consequence is that
steady and sound sleep through the night
becomes impossible without the use ofsome
means which will over come this propensi-
ty to lay awake.
To do this and go to sleep in five minutes
is not a very difficult thing, and may be
done by applying friction TO all parts OF the
baly and limbs. To accomplish it take a
crasl, tnwcl and give il lively motion IN

blood will be put in lively circulation rub

ssThat's What I've Been Telling Emily"

Canada's bright and sensible Governor
General, Lord Dufferin, has given tie Do
minion people new by-word which has
spread with electric rapidity from one end
of Canada to the other. On his voyage out,
being called upon by the emigrants to ad-
dress them, he alluded to this phrase, which
had grated harshly on his cars: lie had
the misfortune to have many children"
Lord D. said: ~ remarked that perhaps no
better idea could be given of the difference
between the old country and their new
home than by the fact that whereas in
England struggling man might be over
weighted in the battle of life by numer-
GUS family, in the land to which they were
going man could scarcely have too many
children. Here / was applauded Justify,

approving tnump on the back by stall

General Robert E. Lee.

General Lee had a sententious way of
saying things which made all his utteran-
ces peculiarly forceful. His language was
always happily chosen, and single SEN
tence from his lips often left nothing more
to be said. AS good an example of this as
any, perhaps, was his comment upon the
military genius Of General Meade Not
very long after that officer took command
of the Army of the Potomac, skirmish oc-
Cured, and none of General Lees staff of
ficers being present, an acquaintance of
mine was detailed as his personal aid for
the day, and l am indebted to him for the
anecdote. Some one asked our chief what
he thought of the new leader on the other
side, and in reply Lee said, General Meade
will commit no blunder in my front, and if
| make one he will make haste to take adj
vantage of it." It is difficult to see what
more he could have said ON OF about the
subject.
| saw him for the last time during the
war, at Amelia Court House. in the midst
of the final retreat, and shall never forget
the heart-broken expression his face wore,
or the still sadder tones of his voice as he
gave me the instructions had come to ask.
The army was in utter confusion. 1t was
already evident that we were being driven
back upon the James River, and could never
hope to reach the Roanoke, on which stream
alone there might be a possibility of max
ing stand. General Sheridan was harrass-
ing our broken columns at every step, and
destroying us piecemeal. Worse than all,
General Lee had been deserted by the tec-
rified government in the very moment of
his supreme need, and the food had been
snatched from the mouths of the famished
troops, that the flight Of the President and
his followers might be hastened. The load
put thus upon Lees shoulders was very
heavy one for so conscientious u man to
bear; and knowing, as every Southerner
does, his habit of taking upon himself all
blame for whatever went awry, we cannos
wonder that he was sinking under the bur-
den. His face was still calm, as it always
was, but his carriage was no longer erect,
as his soldiers had been used to see it. The
troubles of those last days had already
plowed great burrows in his forehead His
eyes were red as if from weeping; his cheeks
sunken and haggard; his face colorless. No
one who looked upon him then, as nc stood
there in fpll view Of the disastrous end, can
ever forget the intense agony written upon
his features. And yet he was calm, self
possessed and deliberate. Failure and the
sufferings of his men grieved him sorely,
but they could not dauut him, and his NOR
| al greatness was never more manifest than
during those last terrible days. Even in
the final correspondence with Gen. Grant,
Lees manliness and courage and ability to
endure lie ON the surface, and it is not the
least honorable thing in General Grants
history that he showed himself capable of
appreciating the character of this manly
| foaman, as he did when he returned Lees

A TERRIBLE To-Do.
Discovery that the Archbishop of Cam
terbury has Never Been Properly
Baptized, and that All HIS Acts are
Consequently Void.
Correspondence of the New York World

Correspondence of the New York World
The controversy about the baptism and
the confirmation of the Archbishop of Can
terbury still continues in the Church jour-
nails. Tbs facts appear to be these: DR..
Ialt was born in Scotland, of Presbyterian
parents, who cared little about baptism
When he was an infant he was at one time
very i'll and was supposed to be dying, and
he says that at this time, his nurse, an old
scotch woman, baptized him. This baptism
would be good one, even in the eye of
the Roman Catholic Church, if it were done
with the proper intention and with the
essential words. But no evidence exists of
these facts, and no other baptism was ever
administered to the child, who is now
Archbishop of Canterbury. When he grew
up to be young man he became an Eps-
copalian, and when. he was student at
Balllul oxford, * or he was confirmed BY Bishop
learned that Mr.. TAFT had never been bap-
tlzed save in the way just described The
Bishop sent for him in great distress.
Mi. TAFT" said he, confirmation cannot
be duly given to any one who has not been
valdly christened. I have confirmed you
IN ignorance go and be baptized, for
security's sake, and then come to me again
Tor confirmation. Mr.. TAFT declined to do
anything Of the kind, and thus the case
stands. If he was not validly baptized,
his confirmation was void, and all subse-
quent sacraments administered to him and
by him are void also. He has ordained
about 800 priests, but if he himself has
never been validly ordained their ordinations
are void. The Bishop Of Winchester has
been asked to take some steps in the matter,
but he has declined to do this, although
admitting that :" the subject may be of
interest to churchmen. May be! | should
think it would be of all subjects the most
interesting, at least to the 300 clergymen
who have been ordained by Archbishop
TAFT, and who, if he be unbaptized, have
never been validly ordained.

PANAMINT.
Rush to the Mines-How they Live.

A tolerable fair idea of the present con-
dition of affairs at Panamint may be formed
from the following extract of a letter which
we find in the Eureka Sentinel:
But few structures that can be dignified
by the appellation of buildings are yet erect
ed. Every one is too much engrossed pros
pecting to look much to worldly comfort.
Tents of cloth and poles, huts Of rock and
shanties of bark adorn the place. The
largest building yet constructed is the mill
of Jacobs Wonder mine. Dave Nagle's
new building is under way and will be of
considerable size. Many of the inhabitants
live in tunnels and natural cavities in the
rocks, but one and all seem entirely regard
less Of the luxuries and comforts Of home
and rushing pell-mell, singly and in groups,
are seeking the hiding places of the earth's
riches. One thousand people are here now,
and more are arriving every day, coming in
all manner of vehicles, on horse and mule
back and on foot.

Those not prospecting are preparing for
business, and one and all are decided in the
expression Of the future success of the
mines and town.
The character of the ore is mainly quartz
containing silver and copper, and some
times little gold, and assays from $1Ce to
81, 900 ton. One lot just assayed shows
value Of s., 900, but it is a small quantity
and would not do to base an estimate on.
A great scarcity of eating and lodging
houses prevails; one is satisfied to sleep in
a corral, and a dish of bacon and beans with
a potato thrown in sometimes is meal not
to be sneezed at.
All known lodes, town sites, and water
rights have already been claimed, and there
is no certain profit save for the skilled
capitalists who have money to invest, Or
for the mechanics and laborers who seek
employment. Not one of ten of the other
classes at Panamint will make money, and
many of the mechanics will fare worse than
if they had stayed away.
Panamint is fifty miles east of the sum-
NIT of the Sierra Nevada, 200 miles from
Wilmington, the nearest sea port, and 1000
feet above the sea, in the midst of a desert,
with very hot summer climate, and little
wood or water in the vicinity. The expen-
ses of living must be very great there, and
the mines must be rich to pay people for
living in the midst of such desolation. The
greater the excitement, the greater the pro-
portion of those who will lose money by
it.

Sorrowful Fate of q Statue.

A Washington correspondent of the New
York Eceaiag Post, writes: A word may be
said of Greenough's Washington, that i'll
fated statue which broke bridge and sunk
a ship before it reached America, and which
has been the whitest of elephants ever since
it got here. Every visitor to the East
Capitol grounds must remember the huge
seated figure, its hair combed as nicely as
Puritan minister's and its drapery loosen
ed as carelessly as Apollo's. Sword in
hand and finger outstretched it has sat, as
if saying, according to q time-worn joke,
"Here's my sword, but my clothes are in
the Patent Office;' where they are, under
a glass case. Rilievos of Hercules and
Apollo on the panels Of the chair represent
respectively Strength and Enterprise, and
Columbus iubilant and an Indian despond-
ent, form the two pillars Of the back.
"First in War, First in Peace, First in the
Hearts of his Countrymen - is the inscrip-
tion OH the base. Greenough was the first

the centre of the rotunda of the Capitol,
but OH account of defective light was moved
hither over tramway specially constructed
down the great steps. Here, at first, a
wooden pavilion, that looked like wind
mill more than anything else, covered it,
but finally that fell to pieces, and for the
last fifteen years Washington has enjoyed
the sun and rain without an intervening
obstacle. Greenough bitterly, and Justly
too, protested against putting this work
out OF doors, an exposure for which it was
never designed. Already it is discolored
and crumbled IN some places the rain
settles in the folds of the toga which the
little sparrows use as regular bath tubs.
Horatio Stone affects to see great beauty
in this statue, and it may yet, headless,
armless, mutilated and disiigured, be the
treasure of some future museum. The
cost was $43, 600 and its travelling expenses
probably *as much again. Now another

POLITICAL NOTES.

Report says that Gov. Tilden will ap-
point his nephew, Col. Pelton, as his private
secretary.
Among the Senatorial probabilities Of the
winter are: Israel Washburn, of Maine,
Cad. G Washburn, of Wisconsin, and VIM.
D. Washburn, of Minnesota.
John Morrissey is said to be looming up
as candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Forty-Fourth Congress.
There is said to be fifty lady editors in
this country; and now we can account for
the manifest exaggerations in those Demo
cratic returns. Wash. Chron.
Gen. John G. Browns chances for the
United States Senate from Tennessee are
said to be increasing every day.
There is Democratic majority of five on
joint ballotin the Legislature of Florida, in
suring Democratic Senator.
There is reported to be movement in
Massachusetts, in favor of the nomination of
Charles Francis Adams as Senator. The
Democrats and a number Of moderate Re-
publicans are said to be in favor OF his
election.
The Milwaukee Aduerttser, an anti-Ca
penter paper, says it has information that
the eighty Republican members in the
Wisconsin Legislature will vote thus for
Senator: Washburn, Al; Carpenter, 90 ;
doubtful, IL. If this estimate is correct, it
gives, of course, the next Senatorship to
Gov. Washburn.
Three names are now prominently men-
toned by Southern newspapers in connec-
tion with the Speakership of the Forty
fourth Congress-Alexander H. Stephens
and Julian Hartridge, of Georgia and L..
@. C. Lamar. of Mississippi.
It is already remarked chat the tenure of
power in the United States Senate, by the
Republicans, all other conditions being
unchanged, depends on the lives of six
Senators now in old age or infirm health.
and behind whom are Democratic Govern
ors, or Democratic Legislatures, or both.
The peculiar style OF reasoning by which
the Democratic party figure op their men,
bers in Congress, in the legislature and in
the various local offices throughout the
country, recalls the practice of certain
shrewd Maine lumberman. 1t was found
that he invariably seized all unmarked logs,
justifying himself on the ground that he
never marked his logs, and that hence all
not marked must be his. There is good
deal of independent political timber claimed
in like manner by the Democrats which
will be found to belong to the Republican
party. y.--Chicago Journal.
