TWO OF BRIGHAM,S SONS.
The Good Lnek Which gefeu ihe one
 Who was at Ne-t Point.

Within the space of five minutes, yes- terday, ] was introduced to two of the sons of Brigham Young, named re- spectlyely Brigham and Willard The former Is the issue of the first and legal
 marriage of Brigham Young to Mary
 Ann Angel, who survived her husband
 and hes buried by his side Tn a new
 made grave. She died at eighty,
 neglected and almost forgotten by the
 ptople ahom her husband had made
 prosperous. There was streak of de-
 cency in old Brigham, even in his last
 days, for he willed it that his wife
 should be buried by his side. His
 eldest son and namesake has but little
 of his fathers appearance and none of
 his fathers brains. Standing in hls
 presence one cannot help thinking of
 the old Latin proverb, Stat magni
 nOminis umbra" (he stands the shadow
 of a mighty name). The name of Brig
 ham Young was, indeed, mighty in its
 day and generation, ahd 1t represented a personal force and power as a leader and an organizer such as have been owned by few men of modern times. Brigham Jr. has the name and the chief vice of the old man, but no more. He IS a Brigham Young, and he IS poly gamist, dividing his parental and marital love by four. When introduced to him l said had come West to see how "the bad people included in the Edmund's bill were getting along Well" said he, trying to straighten himself into tue proportions of the old man, "if the United States tries to ta' way our rights, they'll find that very bad people. Wedon't intend to tA trampped on. My idea is to go l4ghc ahead ana do what we believe to be right, and take the consequences" The gentleman became so demonstra- tive that l felt called upon to assure him that l was not a commissioner of either peace or war. But" said I, "If Uncle Sam makes up his mInd to trample on Utah, he'll put on a big pair of shoes and stamp the whole thing out mighty quick" Brigham Jr. then recited the woes of Utah, and soon disappeared with a friend.
 Here's another Of Brighams boys." said Hooper, as a tine-looking young fellow Of about thirty approached and shook hands with him. This" sad he, "is Lieutenant YeuDg-Willard Young bA VI toA I bA44As I ut NdS a pleasant one to make. Lieutenanr Young is a graduate of the Engineer Corps at West Point, and now a teachet there. He is one of the polygamous sons of "the old man. and has married within a week the daughter of MT. Hooper. Whatever his views may be on the subject. he Is not likely to Ego into polygamy" during the life time of hIs mother-in-law. His father-in-law will vouch for that. He was at West Point when his fathers estate was being set tied up, and when the litigation began his agents wrote to him to know what they should do. He replied that he didn't care about quarrellng over the matter; that he had profession that would give him living, and that he would take what the others didn't want So a lot of railroad stock, supposed to be nearly worthless, was assigned to to him. He took it, and the develop ment of the Territory has since made him one of the richest men of the old mans heirs.-[ Salt Lake Corr. St. Louis Globe Democrat
