An old gentleman was talking here yester-
day about pluck. Said he: 81 went to Mis-
souri, In 1874. Every day families came in
from the East with nothing save what they
could bring on four-horse wagon. They
would settle on 160 acres of land, get out the
logs, and build a rude cabin. They had no
sugar, no coffee. no comfortable food but they
lived some way. They made themselves
sort of syrup from pumpkins; with a hand
machine they broke their corn SO as to make
a kind OF bread, and all the time kept to work,
kept raising babies and lived. They shot tur-
keys, prairie chickens and squirrels for meat,
and seuffied along. used to watch their pro-
gress, and It was certain thing that In the

An Interesting Pauper.
New York Tribune.I

Nantucket correspondent directs atten-
ton to the fact that there is living In the
alms-house of that island pauper aged
eighty-six whose early life was connected
with events of historical interest. His name
is Robert Radcliffe He was born at Newcastle
on-Iyne. At the age of twelve he was appren-
ticed on board British transport for seven
years. During his term of apprenticeship he
was in number of battles that were fought
with Denmark. At the age of twenty he was
transferred to the Bellerophon, the frigate
winch carried Napoleon to his lonely captivity
or the rocks OF st. Helena. He was one OF a
SQUAD OF twelve who We're selected from a
company OF 700 men as special guard over
Napoleon. He remembers very well how Ma
poleon looked. He says the Emperor and
exile was about five feet eight inches in
helght, that he was dressed in green coat.

LAW AND MORMONISM,
some slight Complications In the Family
Of the Late Mr.. Young, of Salt Lake.


Consider how many wives this man had.
The number Of women to whom he was fully
married, according to Mormon usage, was
twenty-five, which was not, after ALL so large
company OF wives as that with which pop
ular rumor credited him. These wives bore
him many children, some eight, some six,
and some only one or two. Allowing an aver
age OF only five children to each wife, Young
would have been the father of 125 children.
1t Is admitted that he could not have known
how many children had O right to call him
father AS his first children were born before
1884, he had many grandchildren, and for
aught we know to the contrary, great-grand-
children were born unto him. Then, again,
his SONS contracted plural marriages,
and these plural marriages and marriages
with other mems wives, and marriages
with women already having children, ito say
nothing OF their numerous divorces and sep
arations, must compicate the question OF
heirship beyond all possible unraveling.
Brigham Young himself was a husband and q
father before he was Mormon. The dowager
Mrs. Young, married to Brigham In Ohio In
1894, survives her much-married husband.
The surviving children and grandchildren of
the first and original but deceased Mrs.
Young entered polygamy. and these add a
peculiar element to the legal contest which Is
said to be imminent. One other class OF heirs
Is that made up Of the offspring of the So
called spiritual" marriages contracted by the
Prophet. 1t is said that no record was ever
kept OF these contracts. The women were
"sealed" to Young, that Is, they were figura-
lively marked as wives who we're to be fully
recognized as such in the future world. What
ever may be said of the legality OF Mormon
plural marriages, children born OF these
''sealed" wives are clearly illegitimate. New
ertheless they have rights as heirs. The old
est Mrs. Young now living has lawful Gen
tile) right to q Widows third.

Objections to the Marriage of an English
Bishop.
London Letter to N. Y. Times.


Another Bishop has gone wrong. This time
the offense Is not against the Low Church.
Ritualism is hurt. The clergymen who play
at Romanism raise their hands In pious hor-
ror. The Bishop of Capetown has married a
wife! The right reverend prelate has taken
unto himself helpmate according to the
holy ordination of the Scriptures. Ritualism
Is gravely offended at the marriage of the
Colonial Bishop. "Churchmen," says one of
the organs of the High Church party, will
hear with pang that he has just entered into
the matrimonial state. AS Bishops are the

Thence We have no knowledge of the ante
cedents of the marriage. DR.. Jones may have
contemplated the step before he was nomi-
mated to the Bishopric, or he may have been
smitten since. In the first case we hold that
he should have declined the OFFER and in the
second that he ought to have been thinking of
something else. Love for his South African
bride should have been strong enough to
