Personal Sketch of Brigham Young.

In person Brother Brigham" as his
people loved to call him, was large and
portly, with steel-blue eye, a resolute
mouth, ruddy cheek, an imposing car
riage, and very impressive manner.
He was indeed noticeable man, yet
plain and simple in his dress, in his diet,
and indeed all his habits. He had
an excessive fondness for tobacco, and
sometimes (his enemies said) took too
stiff dram of whisky; but he ate little,
toast, bread and milk being his chief
food. He rose early and attended to his
multitudious affairs with persevering in
dustry, strict routine and systematic
regularity. Among his intimates he was
free, afable, pleasant; courteous to
strangers, and full of plain, off-hand,
practical talk with every one. In coun-
Gil his power impressed every one by the
cool, calm, deliberate, well-considered
views he was always ready to express.
In the pulpit he was still more a power,
fascinating his hearers by what in the
lips of others would seem mere swagger
and rhodomontade. His manner was
unstudied, unaffected; all seemed to see
that he was talking to them from his
heart, and that that heart was sincere.
Indeed, the secret of Brigham Youngs
success lay just here, that he had-or
feigned irresitibly to have-an intense
conviction of the truth of his mission.

Hard Times at Mini NoYgorod.

The large Russian Fair of Makarioff,
which is held in July and August, at
Mini Novgorod, on the banks of the
Volga, is almost without business this
year. The immense stone structures,
which contain more than three thousand
shops, are for the greater part unoc-
cupied. There are scarcely any transac-
tions in cereals; cotton, wool, and stuffs
are the only objects which claim the at
tention of buyers. Moreover, it appears
that transactions at the Fair in question
have for several years lost much of
their Importance. This great center of
Russo-Asiatic trade formerly attracted
a million of visitors, and the sales
amounted to about seven or eight hum
dred millions of francs. In 1876, the
total value of the merchandise exp posed
at the Fair of Makarioff or Mini Nov
gorod was about 100000, 900 francs only !;
75,G00,000 worth of goods did not find
purchasers. Last year cereals were sold
at the value of 27,OO0,00O.

The D0ctor,s Reward.

Justice Comstock's office at Detroit
had such homelike air that the reporter
for the Free Press sat down to hear an
anecdote. 1t did not commence: "Once
upon time there was poor but honest
baker who always put sixteen ounces of
stock into his pound loaves," but it
started off as follows: Once there was
a we'll to do Detroiter who ate too much
succotash for dinner. Collie seized him
and put him to bed, and so frightened
was the man that he called out to the
doctor:
"Save me, Doctor, and I'll give you
check for thousand dollarsp'
The doctor gave him a remedy that
soon eased him, and he called out:
"Keep at it, Doctor, and I'll give you
check for five hundred dollars"
In half an hour more he was able to sit
up, and he calmly remarked:
doctor, I feel like giving you fifty
dollar bill"
When the doctor was ready to 90 the
sick man was up and dressed, and he
followed the physician to the door, and
said:
"say, Doc, send in your bill the first
of the month"
When six months had been gathered
to Times bosom the doctor sent in a bill
amounting to five dollars. He was
pressed to cut it down to three, and
after so doing he sued it, got judgment
and the patient put in stay of execu
ton. The poet was pretty correct when
| he wrote:
| az know no man whom would trust;
buy and sell for cash;
| Each day know what am worth,
| And thus avoid a smash"

The Clause of Brigham Young's VIII
Providing for Burial.

/, Brigham Young, wish my funeral

wish my friends to put my body in as
clean and wholesome state as can con-
veniently be done, and preserve the same
for one, two, three, or four days, or so
long as my body can be preserved in
good condition.
I want my coffin made of plain one and
one quarter redwood boards, not scrimped
in length, but two inches longer than l
would measure, and from two to three
inches wider than is commonly made for
a person of my breadth and size, and
deep enough to place me on little COM
Portable cotton bed with good suitable
pillow in size and quality. My body
dressed in my Temple clothing and laid
nicely into my coffin, and the coffin to
have the appearance that if l wanted to
turn a little to the right or the left l
should have plenty of room to do so i;
the lid can be made crowning.
At my interment wish all my family
present that can be conveniently, and
the male members to wear no. Grape on
their hats or coats; the family to buy no
black bonnents or dresses nor black wells,
but if they have them they are at liberty
to wear them.
And services may be permitted, as
singing and a prayer offered, and if any
of my friends wish to say few words
they are desired to do so.
And when they close their services to
take my remains on bier and repair to
the little burying ground which l have
reserved on my lot east of the White
House on the hill. On the southeast
corner of this lot l have vault built of
mason work large enough to receive my
coffin, and that they may place in box,
if they choose the same as the coffin

vault sufficiently large to cover it, that
the earth may be placed over it-as fine
dry earth as can be had-to cover it un.
til the walls of the little cemetery are
hid, which will leave me in the south.

have done my work faithfully and
in good faith. l wish this to be read at
the funeral, provided that if l should

THE Rev. DR.. 81. NJ. Osborn of Ron
dout is accused of telling the following,
among other stories, about Brother
Snyder, a class leader in the Methodist
Church: "He came to this country
when young and received hymn-book
from his parents with the injunction
never to part with it under any con-
sideration. While crossing the Atlantic
he made it daily practice to read his
much beloved book. One morning while
he was so engaged the'ship gave lurch,
and the book dropped overheard. The
owner mourned its loss for five days. AT
the expiration of that time the sailors
hauled shark on board. After it was
cut open, what should be seen glittering
in the suns rays but the lost hymn
book" On being accused of joking, the
doctor declared that the hymn-book and
a written account of the incident were
in the university at Middleton, Conn.

Fashion GOssip.

American manufacturers are produc-
ing wonders in dress novelties.
Fringes with rich feathered-band
headings have been introduced for the
fall.
Fashionable materials for costumes
for the coming season resemble rag
carpets.
Damasse goods still holds its popu-
larity, and no doubt will figure at all
full dress occasions, but it will not be the
rule.
The mode for long polonaises ex-
cludes profusion of trimmings on the
dress skirt, however much artistic skill
is employed in the skirt garnitures.
Double trains will evidently be much
admired. The fashion is unique, and
admits of a graceful flow to the skirt,
which adds greatly to its attraction.
The Sapphire is very stylish
jacket. The model is new, although it
resembles in some respects an old mode.
The fronts are crossed and the collar is
fiat.
The "Habit" basque is very dis
tingue. The back fits closely to the
form. The front is made with a vest
and cutaway jacket, which is part of
the Habit"
Bangles, with grotesque pendant orna-
ments, are in vogue, not in a medium
way but to excess. These wrist incum-
brances have grown to large proportions,
until the mode has reached the saying
of the old motto, "the more the
merrier."
Gold charms are also introduced as
bangle pendants. These are mixed in
with the silver and shell ornaments until
the whole has quite circus jingle about
them. Even bangle finger rings are out,
and give promise of becoming favorites
in the beau monde.
Lingerie forms very important item
to a fashionable toilet for the present
season. The world of dress will be ia
vored with a number of new ideas in
throat and wrist garnitures. Collars
turned back are now the rage in Paris,
and the wide round linen collar is also
admired. Collars with the backs wide
and turned over and the fronts truncated,
with standing sides, are very novel.
Ruffles of lace and lace fchus for the
neck are Il la mode.

WAITS AND WHIMS.
JAPAN has 100000 inhabitants.

JAPAN has 80, 900, 900 inhabitants.
CALCIUM is eight times as valuable
as gold, estimated by weight.
SCHIPKA means wild rose-and wild
rose the yells of the terrible Turks.
HERE'S chance for publishers. Ad-
miral Semmes left several works in
manuscript.
DEAD potatoe bugs are sold as
curiosities in London for a dollar and a
quarter apiece.
1t is a Southern estimate that
Georgia's dried peaches this year will be
worth 81, 100000.
AMERICAN wall papers are sold in Italy,
and American oilcloths cover floors in
Germany and Italy.
THE voice of the woman just now is
not so loud for the ballot as it is for cans
in which to put up fruit.
If our county should become as
densely populated as Holland, it would
contain LOCO, ,000, 900 inhabitants.
ENGLAND is SS,000,OOO bushels of
wheat short this year, and she isn't will

"SEcoND thoughts are the best" is a
beggarly adage; the invention Of the
timid, the refugee of the weak, the parent
of skepticism.
TURKS and Russians hither send
Tale 'gainst tale, by different wires.
Which one, at its farther end,
Has the more and greater liars?
AN Ohio negro who said he was too ill
and weak to hold mans horse was that
same night arrested while carrying off
eighty-six pounds of hams.
If Nature designed man to be a
drunkard, he would have been con-
structed like a churn, so that the more
he drank the frmer he would stand.
THE Rev. Henry Loomis, of San
Francisco, has introduced into this
country the japanese persimmon, which
is considered equal to the peach or pear.
A GIRL in Orange County, New York
has had three step-mothers and two step
fathers. The only fun this extraor-
binary orphan experiences is eating we'd
ding cake.
IT is the duty of gallant man always
to pretend to believe anything woman
says, out of respect to her; and never to
believe anything she says out of respect
to himself.
BELLE BOYD, who figured so extern
sively during the war as scout for the
Confederate forces, is now living at Cal
vert, Texas, and supports herself and
sister by sewing.
A POSTAL card was received at the
Fitchburg post-office, addressed to "Mr.
K, the man that works in the factory and
got the carload of potatoes at White
field, N. H., last year."
THERE is everything in having good
credit. A Detroit man who had credit
but no cash run in debt for a hat, and
traded that off for the melons he couldn't t
have otherwise procured.
IT is estimated that the counties of
Madison, Montgomery, Clark, Scott,
Bourbon, Fayette, and Woodford, KY,
will furnish, this year, $4,000 head of
fat cattle, valued at So, 100000.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Nation calls
attention to the fact that the astrono-
mers of Laputa discovered the satel-

to them belongs the honor of the dis
cOVery.

The Malays resort to very curious
method of killing the rhinoceros. The
animal, being fond of wallowing in the
mud, will find spot in marsh where
the soil is the consistency of dough.
Here he will remain for long time, and
when observed by the Malays they will
approach cautiously from behind, pile
combustible material over him and set
it a fire. The intense heat bakes the
mud SO that the rhinoceros can not
escape, and the fire being continued,
cooks the animal. A curious coinci-
dence is here found, for the remains of a
mastodon were recently discovered which
gave evidence of having been disposed
of in the same manner by savages who
existed centuries ago.

CHICAGO Advance: Deacon Rathfel
asked his family physician last week:
Doctor, you have had such an extended
experience at deathbeds, and have seen
so many people go hence, 1 would like
to ask you what class are most resigned,
and die the happiest?' The aged man
cleared his throat and said: "Well, Dea-
con, l have not seen so very many deaths,
but so far as l have been able to learn,
the people who die the happiest are
those who are hanged"

your wife; only free me from the horns"
Then Towtas brought forth the golden
apples; and they all ate, and the horns
fell off; and he took his bride and his
treasures and carried them off home,
where he built the castle of Ballytowtas,
in the place where stood his fathers hut,
and inclosed the well within the walls.
And when he had filed his treasure
room with gold, SO that no man could
count his riches, he buried his fairy
treasures deep in the ground, where no
man knew, and no man has ever yet been
able to find them unto this day.

LITTLE nRowN HANDS.
By MARY H. KRoUT.

They drive home the cows from the pasture,
Up through the long shady lone,
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat field
That are yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses,
Where the searlet-ipped strawberry grows,
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson buds Of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow;
They gather the elder-bloom white;
They find where the dusty grapes purple
In soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang rpest,
And are sweeter than 1taly's wines;
They know where the fruit hangs the thickest
On the long thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the long delicate sea-weeds,
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land;
They wave from the tall, rocking tree-tops,
Where the ORIOLES hammock nest swings
And at nighttime are folded in slumber
By song that 3 fond mother sings.
Those who toll brayely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
And from these brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers Of state.
The pen of the author and statesman
The noble and wise of the land
The sword and ehisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand.
Indianapolis Herald.

MY LITTLE WOMAN.

Would the diamond seem such peerless gem
If it measured one foot round7
Would the rose-leaf yield such a sweet perfume
If it covered yards of ground?
Would the dew-drops seem so clear and pure
If dew like rain should fall?
Or the little woman be half 30 great
If she were six feet tall?
IT'S the hand as soft as the nesting bird
That grips with the grip Of steel;
IT'S the voice as sweet as the summer wind
That rules without appeal.
And the warrior, scholar, the saint and sage
May fight and plan and pray;
The world will wag to the end of time
In the little woman's way.
San Francisco Ne,rs Letter.

TREASURER DUBUCLET, of Louisiana,
claims to have on his plantation poor
old slave named Nelson Jordan, aged
one hundred and sixteen, who has been
