Brigham Young and His Family.

A reporter for the st. Louis Repu5
ssco1 mas Ia had talk. with daughter Of
the late Brigham Young, the Mormon
leader, who is now Mrs. w. T. Harris
Mrs. Harris has been away from Nor
monlsm for some time. She tells Of the
prophets family life as follows:
She said that of the forty seven chill
dren, each and every one were splendid
specimens of physical health and
strength. There was not weak or sick
~ one among the lot, and all were
possessed of god amount of lntelli-
gence. She spoke in a very admirine
way OF her brothers; told how one was
graduated with high honors from West
Point, two from the Troy IN Y } col
lege, and of another who attended the
Naval institute at Annapolis.
GLOW did we live together in that
great house?" she asked. in answer to
question; why, most apply. !"
Nineteen wives and forty seven chill
dren IN one house, and no quarreling?
the reporter said, in astonishment, 'How
IN the world did you get along so well
togethe:? go
My fathers ruling hand, think, had
good deal to do with it,"
''In what way p
''He taught us to love one another.
Every morning wives and children net
in the parlor, where we had PRAYERS and
singing. People have often asked me
how IN the world my father knew all his
children and wives, but I can tell you, if
a single one was missing at prayers he
knew it, and found out where he or she
| was"
And did you really all live in one
tamily2"
eyes, all. Our house was like a great
hotel, and we the guests. Our father
was great manager, and very practicay
in experimenting his household affairs.
Every person had her place, and, without
instructions but by sort of understanding
kept Oar rooms opened into large hall,
like the one in the hotel here, but larger,
and when we wanted anything from
sisters, brothers, or wives, we went into
this room or that at will.'
"And you never quarrsled with each
other, or had any trouble in the house,
Never; but hold. Yes, we did have
trouble. It came with Amelia, my faith
er's seventeenth wife. She was from
h e East, and married fathe for his name
and wealth. She was a highstrung wom-
an, and should have stayed East. My
| father thought a great deal of her, so
much that he built her what was after

The Seasons Casualties.

The fearful tornadoes which have recently
spread desolation aud death over some sec
tions of our western domain have found more
than their counterpart in the loss of human
life at the extreme east, among the seal fish
ermen on the coast of Newfoundland. 1t
seems that nearly every year towards the
last of March vast fields of ice drift down
upon the eastern coast of Newfoundland
from the shores of Labrador and Greenland,
and on these fields are thousands of seals,
the capture of which constitutes one of the
important industries of the people. Ia
some seasons these ice-felds are driven by
the east winds upon the coast, and held
there long enough for the seal-hunters to go
out from the shore and slaughter their VIC
Tins in great numbers. That was the case
this year. Along the whole of the eastern
coast stretched the sheets of ice, many miles
broad, and the seals were innumerable
Many of the adventurous hunters pursued
their prey on foot across the ice to the dis
lance of eight or nine miles For four days
the harvest continued, and one hundred
thousand seals or more valued in the local
market at about s25O000, had been cap
tured and brought into the harbors and bays
along the eastern and southern shores of the
island. All this time a strong east wind had
held the ice firmly against the shore, but at
last the wind changed. A southerly breeze
began to blow, accompanied by dense fog
which hid the land from the sight of the
sealers who were at any distance from the
Shore Then the ice began TO move and a
panic seized upon the hundreds of men who
were upon it, many of them far from land.
A few of those who were nearest made their
way to the shore at points where the ice was
still in contact with it. Others reaching
the edge of the ice field threw themselves
into the water and escaped by swimming.
Boats put off from the shore to rescue those
who we left on the floating ice, but they
could only reach the shoreward edge OF the
ioe-field which was now broken up into in,
Vulnerable smaller fields, all drifting east
ward, and many of them carrying compa
MES of the too adventurous Newfoundland
ers out into the ocean soltudes. A consid
cradle number were rescued by sealing
steamers aud tugs, which cruised among
the ice-felds in search of them. A few
made their way TO land as the fields of ice OF
which they were struck in their course som'
of the projecting northern capes of tn,
island some were found dead on the ice
About two hundred and fifty in all wer
lost, and their death brings sorrow TO a
many households along the whole easter
coast Of Newfoundland.

A TRAGIC HoLIDAY.-It Is a custom of the Ger
mans in some parts OF the country on the Sunday

ceremony which they call lorala. They go upon
some high hill before daybreak and around huge
fires sing German choruses until the sun rises,
when they greet the orb Of day with glorious an

WADE HAMpToN.-To some of his anxious
friends in South Carolina who wrote Sena-
tor Wade Hampton asking why he did not
combat the centralizing tendencies of the
Republican party and urge the repeal of war
legislation, the senator replied Suppose
the confederacy had succeeded in establish
ing separate form of government; then let
us go farther and imagine Union general
elected TO serve in the congress at Rich
mond. How long do you suppose his de-
tense OF his course during the war, aud what
he thought should be done with its logical
results, would be tolerated 2 Not moment.
Our situation at Washington is directly par
alel, and when we talk about the war, or
making any attempt to change its results
we run counter to the vast north that con
quered us. Aud the north is in the right
If had been on that side, | would never
consent that single one of the logical re
suits of the war should be even threatened
1t is the widest folly on our part to threaten
them, or seek to undo them"

NORTHEAST PAssAGE.-Lieutenant Po-
lander, who accompanied Professor Nor
denskjold in his search for the northeast
passage upon the Vega, says that although
it is demonstrated that open water does ex-
ist along the coast of Siberia, and a way
through the strait may be found once or
twice year, it is so uncertain that no YES
sci can venture the attempt unless prepared
to meet an ice blockade which may last
from eight to ten months. A traffic may be
carried on along the Siberian coast, and
trade with the inner part of the country so
rich in minerals, timber and grain, can be
opened by means Of the three great rivers,
the Obi, Yenisei and Lena, and yet it will
be hazardous and uncertain. The disoov-
cry of the passage is OF great interest to the
world OF science, but 1t does not yet appear
how it can be made of great practical i'm
portance 10 commerce.

AN OPINIoN.-The Washington cores

AN OPISIoN,-The Washington cores
pondent of the New York Herald says ;
" President Hayes is reported to have said
during the present week, in conversation
with political and personal friends, that his
survey of the situation convinced him that
neither the ex.president, Mr.. Blaine, nor Mr..
Sherman would be nominated, but that it
lay probably between Mr.. Edmunds, Mr..
Washburne and Hamilton Fish. Mr.. Hayes
is one Of the shrewdest politicians in the
Republican camp, and he has perhaps the
best means to form correct judgment, for
he is not candidate himself, nor the friend
OF any of the candidates, and men of all
factions come to him to talk over the situa-
ton. His opinion, therefore, may be con-
sidered at least as valuable as anybody
el,e's."

Mr. Editor The time is approaching for the

Gigantic Railroad Scheme.

Boston capitalists are about entering upor
the construction Of great narrow-gaugt
trunk line from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Mississippi river, with connections to Chi
cago and the lakes, the far west, and the
Gulf of Mexico. The main line is the Rich
mond and Southwestern, beginning at the
mouth of York river, Virginia, and extend.
ing to the southern boundary of the western
part of Kentucky. The enterprise is backed
by the full delegation in congress from Ken
lucky and Virginia and leading southerners,
who are anxious to show that the south is
ready to welcome northern capital and to
protect it. There are now three thousand
miles of narrow.gauge lines in the country,
and over three thousand more chartered
or projected in various stages of progress.
Long trunk lines of narrow-gauge are now
in course of construction from Galena, in
northern Illinois, two hundred and fifty
miles to Danville in the same state; line
of four hundred miles, sixty of which are
already under contract, to extend from Chi
cago to Paducah another from Toledo
across Indiana to Danville, three hundred
miles long; and another from Toledo through
to Cincinnati nearly as long The idea of
these Boston capitalists is to build line of
nine hundred miles from deep water to the
Mississippi river, connecting this whole mar
rowgauge system and giving it an outlet to
the ocean, so that it may not be dependent
on other gauges but deliver goods to port
of its own, where they may be transferred to
foreign and coast-trading steamships. In
spite of the opposition of the broad.gauge
railroad managers, the people of Virginia
and Kentucky welcomed the Boston gentle
men, and granted them charters with the
fullest power, it is said, ever granted by south
ern states, admitting them TO condemned
lands for railroad purposes, and allowing
them to vote the various towns and counties
through which their lines are to pass for
subsidies, and receive gifts of mineral and
timber lands dd lib from citizens DESTROYS
of enjoying the rapid development of the
scheme. These operators appear to be going
about their business in the most direct and
business-like way. Instead of picking up
small lines, which may not be the most di-
rect to secure through connections, they
propose to make their route, so far as prac-
ticable, an air line. Neither do they propose
to start on small SCALE by building sim
gle track or a lightly-ironed railroad with
what railroad men call "veneer surface"
but their scheme is to start at the sea and
build inland double track, steel rallied,
stone ballasted, fully equipped line. These
capitalists say they can construct the road
led of their narrow-gauge line aud put the
rolling stock on it from one-third to one-half
less cost than broad-gauge line could be
constructed, and run it at forty per cent less
than the broad-gauge.

A SINGULAR HIsToRY.-John Laub, the
oldest clerk in the United States treasury,
died last Thursday week after a faithful
service of more than forty-three years. He
was but five days from his desk during the
entire forty-three years of his service, al
though he was entitled to a vacation of
thirty days each year. No other man in all
that time ever did any part of the work that
it was his duty to perform. In the room
which he occupied is set Of books cover
ing the entire history of the first controllers
oflice-eighty-six years-and in those books
appear but two styles of penmanship-
those of John Laub and his father. Mr..
Laub never allowed any person, not even the
secretary himself, to examine his books
but if there was ever an inquiry he would
examine them himself and read their con-
tents to the inquirer. He was neatness itself,
and wrote plain round hand. He loved his
books as if they were human, and kept them
wrapped carefully in oil cloth, when not in
use but when compelled to take them from
their case, he would handle them as if they
were made of glass. He became machine,
and had he been transferred to any other
duty would have been absolutely useless.
lie appeared at his desk at the same hour
every morning, and went through the same
routine every day. He walked to the de-
partment from his house and returned al
ways by the same route, and his appearance
at the same locality at the same moment
each day was as regular as time itself. Dur
ing his last illness he suffered much pain
and anxiety because his work was neglected,
and for fear some other person would touch
his books, and relief was given him only
by an order from the first controller that
they should not be disturbed.

Young KALLocH.-A foretaste of the con-
fiict of evidence which is likely to await
the jury when the case of young Kalloch
comes on for trial, has already been fur
nished at the coroners inquest. Clement
shaw, the eyewitness Of the ARRAY, testi-
fled that when Kalloch and De Young faced
each other the latter was the first to fire,
Kalloch following his example. Opposing
evidence is furnished by finding De Young's
pistol not discharged, and Clementshaw has
already been arrested on the charge of per-
jury. The conflict could be reconciled, con-
ceivably, by supposing that DE Young did
not really fire first, but attempted to do so,
the pistol failing him; in which case, if
Kalloch's motion instantly followed, a per-
son looking through the window of the
countingroom might suppose that the first
report came from Do Young's pistol, as be-
ing the first one aimed. Clementshaw's
unexpected testimony and prompt arrest
thereafter on the charge of bearing false
witness show the state of excitement pre-
vailing in San Francisco.
