A Mixed Matrimonial Mess.

John w. Young, the Prince Royal Of
the Church of the Latter-Day Saints
when living in the Eastern States, at
fected to be a monogamist, cOntented
with one wife, who was young, bright
and very beautiful. When he failed in
his speculations he returned to Utah and
reconciled himself to the church by at
tempting to marry Clara Stonehouse,
his brother Joseph 8 third widow. Thi:
scheme was frustrated, but last Septem.
Der he sent his wife to the Elmira Water
Cure, and in her absence took to wife
Luella Cobb, an accomplished girl OF
II, the daughter of James NJ. Cobb
whose wife, Mary Van Colt, having OBJ
tanned a divorce, married Brigham
Young, and is the mother of his young.
est child. Now, look you, what com.
plications this involved. 1t requires a
lawyer to disentangle them, and this
has been done by George c. Bates,
formerly United States District Attorney
for Utah, who, in a sketch of the career
of John W. Young, puts it thus: ,...r
"Thus Mrs. Cobb, the elder, is Brig
ham Young celestial wife; her daughter
in-law, Mrs. James Cobb, is Brigham
Young's real plural wife and the mother
of his youngest child; and so John w.
Young has now married his fathers
step-dauther, his own step-sister and the
daughter of his own mother" H.,
If Mr.. Young gives his mind much to
the study of his marital and family re-
lations, he will presently be in a mad
house. There are limits to the equi-
poise of human reason.-Cincinnati

Died Of Joy.

Last week Mrs. Clinton, an Irish
woman, about fifty years of age, arrived
in this city from England, intending to
pass her remaining years with her
daughter, married woman, living at
Globe village. She had another daugh-
ter living in a neighboring State, and
the two had made up purse to pay
their mothers passage to this country.
Mrs. Clinton arrived here the first of the
week, and went directly to her daugh-
ter's house. A few day's after her ar
rival the second daughter came to visit
her, bringing two grandchildren, whom
the old lady had never seen. Going to
the door to meet them, the grandmoth-
er lifted the children from the carriage,
and when the daughter alighted, en-
braced her with, sob dear, have SO
longed to see you. for the last time, and
it is the last time" saying which she
sank into a chair and expired before any
aid could be given her. She was bur

How Jay Gould Travels.

Not long ago q Tribune reporter way

him Shorthand secretary and q tele-

planned to the reporter that every hour

Mr.. Gould notified his friends in New

sire to comnmnicata with him the

of the train dispatcher of
that road, who, upon its receipt, knew
Just where Mr.. Gould's special was, and
dropped the message down one station
in advances The operator a. that sta
ton would signal the special and deliver
the message. Upon its receipt the
special would immediately phil out, and
Mr.. Gould would consider and digest the
message. If it needed reply, he would
dictate to his short hand assistant, who
would translate for the operator. When
the reply was ready the engineer would
be sigaaasds the train stopped, and in
two minutes the main wire would be
hauled down, cut, attached to the instzu-
ment, and the message winging its way
to New York. To twist the wire togeth-

the work of another minute. Mr.. Gould
kindly added that he used his private
signature, which insured right of way for
his messages, which were always in
cipher. Of course Mr.. Dillon availed
himself of Gould's facilities, whenever
necessary, for his business.

The Man q Woman Saw When She
Looked Under the Bed. .f..

On Monday night of last week, says
the Mauch Chunk (Pa.) Coal Gazette,
Mr.. B. w. Marcy, Cashier of the
Miners Savings Bank of Summit Hill,
attended the LehightOn Fair with his
family. Returning home in the even
ing, after long ride and day of sight
seeing, they retired to bed at an ex-
tremely early hour. The servant-girl
went to bed at little before IL o'clock,
and hearing en- unusual noise she be-
came somewhat alarmed, and did what
almost any other woman would have
done-looked under the bed. At first
glance she saw what she thought was a
mans hand and hat. She peered fur
Their, and discovered a choking
young man, well dressed, lying at full
length. She screamed murder and ran
towards Mr.. Marcy's room. That gen.
tleman heard her cry and met her in the
hall. He hurried to the girls room
and discovered that the intruder had
just jumped from q second story win
dow. The alarm was at once given,
but the would-be bank robber got of.
Mr.. Morgan Jones happened to be COM
ing up the street, and he saw a man
run from Mr.. Marcy's house and
join two companions and run down the
Switch-Back Railroad. Nothing more
was seen of them. The girl says the
man she saw had black, curly hair, but
she does not believe she could recog-
nize him, as he managed to put out the
light by kicking over the table, ON which
it stood. There is NO doubt the discov-
cry frustrated an attempt to rob the
bank. Mr.. Marcy's residence is just
across the street from the institution,
and it was, no doubt, the intention of
the thieves to take possession of Mr..
Marcy's house, and after gagging and
tying the inmates to force him to go
with them and open the safe. The pe0-
pie of Summit Hill do not believe they
would have succeeded, as Mr.. Marcy IS
q man of great determination, and they
think he would not have given the COM
hination to any thieves. It happened
that on Thursday night he could mot
have opened the safe, Is it was locked
by another combination during his alb
sence in Lehighton.s The escape from
q dreadful experiencewss narrow one.

la, yes, massa; my wife is good cook !;
1 tell you, sab, she is a good cook. She
used to cook for ole miss in slavery time,

And this is the way the darkies live
by doing little jobs. A small amount of
cheap meat and bread will subsist them
many times some of them have bread
alone. Many idle men, who do little
jobs, or follow politics, are supported
mainly by their wives at the washtub.

the money paid out every week for

DANIEL WEBSTER is credited with
having said: Z" If had as many sons
as old Priam, 1 would have them all
learn Q trade, so they would have some
thing to fall back on in case they failed
in speculation" A Philadelphia
paper moralizes thus sensibly
thereon: The number of young men
and girls who are brought up to no use
full trade or calling is on the increase.
The effect of this is seen in political life,
where thousands of men are begging,
as at present in Washington, for /" posi-
ton" with vague idea that unframed
powers and ignorance can find shelter
in some coy nook where they may at
least draw their pay. Being practically
of no earthly use to themselves or any
one else, they only hope to find some
place where they can continue to exist
without benefting any one. A desti-
