tuous libel suit. One Phillips was
elected one of the Assessors of Chicago
last Spring in spite of the furious OPP
position of the leading papers. He
has taken his revenge on these sheets
by increasing their personal tax from
500 to 400 per cent. The papers are
heuling and Phillips is chuckling.
Why would it not be good plan for
Watt. Carpenter to remove to Chicago
and get elected Assessor of that city

BRIGHAM YOU'VE expects to die.
His life and conduct would not seem
to indicate such an expectation, but
such is the case. The reason that it
is known the old polygamist expects
some day to bid adieu to his drove OF
wives, is because he has begun to build
the tomb which is to hold his corporal
parts when his spirit has gone to judg-
ment This tomb now under process
of construction near Salt Lake, also
seems to point to the Prophets inten-
ton not to run away and die on the
Sandwich Islands or in Australia, but
to remain and obey Natures sternest
decree in the territory of Utah. This
burial place of the head "Saint," and
his favorite wives, as planned by him
self, is to be ten square rods OF soil,
enclosed by massive stone wall of
considerable height. The sepulchre is
is be genuine mausoleum, and will
be early completed. Its early occupa
ton would not be the cause of any
universal regret.
If you do not want to go crazy, it
behooves you to be careful who you
marry, as will be seen by the following
story told by Sam. Purdy:
I married widow who had mar
riageable daughter. My father, who
often came to see us, took fancy to
my step-daughter and married her
Thus you see my father became my
son-in law, and my step-daughter be-
came my mother, since she was the
wife Of my father. Some time after
wards my wife had son; he was the
brother-in-law OF my father, and also
my uncle, as be was the brother of my
mother-in-law The wife of my faith
er (my step-daughter) also had a son;
of course this son was my brother, and
at the same time my grand sou, since
he was the child of my daughter. My
wife was my grandmother, since she
was the mother of my mother. For
myself, | was at once the husband and
the grandson of my wife; and rs the
husband Of a PERSONS grand. mother is
his grandfather, why, then OF course
that makes me my own grandfather.
There is nothing to be gained by
being ones own grandfather, but if it
could be arranged so that fellow could
become Ibis own mother-in-law, the
millennium would indeed be here.

But to the scene. The Bogy grappled the
Paragon at the Kountz line wharfboat, while
the barge line people, just above, were yell
ing for her, the Bogy, to make haste and get
the burning boat from their vicinity. During
this time Capt. Darragh, Of the Paragon, was
making his commands in cool and decided
manner. He Immediately ordered that tar
paulins be stretched over the hatch entrance
Of the hold and ordered that the rooms above
stairs be broken open to see that there were
none in the employ of the boat endangered.
No sooner had the tarpaulins been stretched
according to order than the intense yolunn
of smoke proceeding from the hold burst
through the fabric as confined steam. At this
point the tug Rescue in command OF Capt.
Vim. McClelland arrived, and facilitated the
intentions Of the Bogy in getting the Paragon
out into the middle OF the river, and the bar

after, "just in time to be too late. Inc

from the hold in continuous blasts were now
superseded by flames, and the hot breath OF

The captain, two laborers, the river re-
porter Of the Republican and the chamber
maid were all the sonls then on the burning
boat. The flames were rapidly licking down
the upper structure Of the boat, side meat
was fast assuming the state OF grease spots
and yet the Bogy and the Rescue hung on 70

board stuck to the burning steamer and
busted themselves during the hot excitement
in saving the papers Of the boat, which We're

been mapping away the noon when the hre
broke out was duly cared for, and the reporter
was sorry that there was not another, just as
GOOD looking, that he could rescue from the
burning decks. In fifteen minutes after the
alarm was sounded, the Paragon was envei
oped in flames, and it was seen that she mus
succumb to the fiery element. She hoateo
