BRIGHAMS DAUGHTER-IN-LAw
Visiting Friend In New York and
Talking About Her Strange Life.

New York SUM-
Libbie Garfield, the first wife Of
John W. Young, the eldest son of the
deceased Mormon prophet, Brigham
Young, was in Newark last week, Wis.
iting former schoolmate. On Satur.
day afternoon she started for Salt Lake
City. She has a petite figure, pro-
fusion Of black hair brilliant black
eyes, an olive complexion, and is an
intelligent and pretty woman. She is
native Of New Jersey, but she first
met Young in Philadelphia, where her
parents now reside. She hesitated
long before she consented to become
the wife of Mormon. Her parents
are Presbyterians, and she was an ad-
hcrent of that faith. She at length
married him, with the understanding
that he would not marry second
wife. She lived happily with her hus-
band until the death Of his father.
who decreed on his deathbed that his
son should take another wife. The
Mormon apostles subsequently con
frmed this decree and Young obeyed.
When his wife heard that he had
decided to marry again she separated
from him. Since that time she has
frequently visited her parents in Phil
adelphia, although she has fine home
in Salt Lake City. While visiting in
Newark Mrs, Young said that her
husband had always treated her kind
ly, and that she pitiad him. He did
not want to marry second wife. but
he was forced by the polygamists to do
so, in order to show the Mormons that
he was true disciple of his fathar.
Mrs. Young also said that her life in
Salt Lake City had intensified her
hatred of polygamy. When she sep
arated from her husband they parted
good friends, and he has ever since
been anxious for her welfare. She
has large farm in the suburbs of Salt
Lake City, and has the custody of her
children.
Her husband is now living in Ari-
zona with his second wife, whom he
never appears with at public recep.
tlons, During the years that Mrs.
Young lived with him he seldom at
tended a public assemblage without
her, and when Jay Gould, Sidney
Dillon and other conspicuous men
visited Utah he introduced them to
her. When she started from Salt Lake
City last February to visit her parents
he sent an agent to her with money.
lest she might need it before her re.
turn. She said that he frequently
wrote to her, and that she believed he
felt the pain Of their fated separation
as much as she, In the past few weeks
she stopped with her friends at Allan
tic City, and she returns to Salt Lake
City to superintend the collection and
shipment of the wool from her many
head of sheep. She personally man
ages her farm. She expects to return
East next fall, and, after a short stay,
90 to Europe. The names of her BOYS
are Brigham, Richard, John and
Tot" the baby,

waERE DOES CowpEN coMr mi.


From Washington special we see
that there is hitch in the appoint.
ment Of the Mississippi river commis-
sion. Captain Eads has telegraphed
his positive declination to 90 on the
commission, and it is generally under
stood that he does so because the law
requires that one Of the army engineers
shall be president Of the commission,
thus subordinating the civilians Of the
commission. John Cowden is not so
stubborn and could probably over
come such nice scruples. A move
ment is on foot, and was being worked
up by members and senators who have
been interested in the bill, to get an
amendment through congress allowing
the appointment of the president of
the commission to be open to any one
of the seven commissioners. The
President has about determined upon
the personnel of the commission, max
ing General Ben Harrison, of Indiana,
the seventh commissioner. This
would compose the commission
as follows army engineers, Bar
nard, Comstock and Gilmore; coast
survey, Professor Hillyard; civil en-
gineers, Captain Eads and General
Beauregard; unprofessional commits
sioners, Ben Harrison. There is some
opposition to General Beauregard
among the stalwart Republicans, but
the President feels kindly toward his
appointment. A large number of
names have been presented to the
President for the seventh place. The
Louisiana delegation has urged Clai-
borne, of that State, Arkansas has
been for Bishop, who ran on the Re-
publican ticket for governor. Texas
wants Merriwether The Ohio river
people propose Moorehead, of Pitts
burg, and two men from Cincinnati.
Ex-senator Alcorn, of Mississippi,
was also named. Captain Joe Brown,
of st. Louis, is there, and is also a
candidate; but General Harrison
will be offered and will accept, unless
the present slate is broken, and one
fixed up with men of less reputation
put upon it.

PGTTsBURG PosT: Now that Hayes
has signed the army bill as a Demo.
cratic congress passed it, the Repub-
lican press is anxious to impress the
public with the idea there is nothing
in the prohibitory clause that Hayes
cannot evade if he so determines.
When the rabbit escaped from the
darky, which was to make so much
soup, he said it was nothing but a
poor cotton-tail anyhow. Hayes claims
to know in advance, that difficulties
will arise in closely contested congress
sional districts and will place soldiers
in the vicinity under the right to move
the army where he pleases, and not
wait for a call from the authorities Of
the State to preserve peace. 1t is
amusing to hear Hayes talk about
preventing frauds in elections, stand
ing before the country as he does the
very embodiment of the most bare
faced fraud the world ever witnessed,
assisted by the Shermans and Chan
dlers, who now mock the intelligence
of the people, the victims of their
rascality, by assuming to be the de-
tenders of pure elections and models
of political honesty. There is moth
ing in history which exceeds the
effrontery of the leaders Of the Re
publican party, in regard to this ques-
tion.

On Thursday night two darkeys

they called up the dogs-some two or
three hound pups-and went into the
swamp. They had caught two or three
and thought it time to get toward home
when suddenly their dogs jumped a
coon, as they thought, and a lively
fight ensued, IL which all the pups
were whipped. The animal started up
a tree and the negroes saw twas very
large wildcat. The nearest one struck
at it with stick, when the cat jumped
squarely upon the head of the negro
and went to gathering wool. The ne.
gro yelled, oh, Lordy! Murder Knock

the other darkey, had only big stick
