i From the New York Sun


! Libbie Garfield, the first wife of John


w. Young, the eldest son of the deceased


Mormon prophet, Brigham Young, was


in Newark last week visiting a former


schoolmate. On Saturday afternoon she


started for Salt Lake city. She has pc


tite figure, profusion 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 consented to become the wife
of a Mormon. Her parents are Presby-
terians, and she was an adherent Of that


faith. She at length married him with
the understanding that he would
not marry a second wife. She lived hap.
|pily with her husband until the death OF
his father, who decreed on his deathbed
that his son should take another wife.
The Mormon apostles subsequently con.
firmed this decree, and Young obeyed.


When his wife heard that he had decid-
ed to marry again she separated from him.
Since that time she has frequently visited
her parents in Philadelphia, 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 pitied him. He did not
want to marry second wife, and he was
forced by the polygamists to do so, in
order to show the Mormons that he was
"a true disciple of his father Mrs.
Young also said that her life in Salt
Lake City had intensified her hatred of
polygamy.


When she separated 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
Arizona with his second wife, whom he
never appears with at public receptions.
During the years that Mrs. Young lived
with him he seldom attended a public
assemblage without her, and when Jay
Gould, Sidney Dillon and other conspi-
cuous men visited Utah he introduced
them to her. When she started from Salt
Lake City last February to visit her pa
rents he sent an agent to her with money,
lest she might need it before her return.
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 Atlantic City, and she returns
to Salt Lake City to superintend the col
lection and shipment of the wool from
her many head of sheep. She person
ally manages her farm. She expects to
return East next fall, and, after a short
stay, go to Europe. The nnInesf of her
boys are Brigham, Richard, John, and
"Tot," the baby.

Young men complain that the oppor-
tunities for one just starting in life, with
his own fortune to make, are not what
they were few years ago. And his COM
plant is well founded. There was a
time when it seemed as if money grew
on every bush. This is not the case now
by any means. Indeed, it has become
rather difficult to find the bushes on
which the money grows.


The depression in business has lasted a
good while. AS to the length Of time
it will still continue men Of intelligence
differ widely in opinion. Some improve

times are far from being flush as .hey
used to he, and the uncertainty of the
future is too great for young men to sit
down in idleness, fold their hands, aud

The County Seat case still hangs fire before his Honor Judge W. D. Jacoway. The regular term of the Circuit Court of Franklin county and . special term for Yell county has so much engrossed the time of Judge Jacoway, that he has been unable to give the County Seat ease that care ful examination which it's impor- tance demands, and therefore there has been no decision yet.

 Unless the election on the 20th is restrained, ,-- and if this is done the officers of the election and the peo- pie will have due noticc,-it will be the duty of the officers of the elec- tion, under the law, to hold the elec- tion at the several voting precincts in tue county. Let tue people then turn out on the 20th and settle the location of their County scat. It is matter in which they are deeply interested, and they should be left to decide themselves. Pay no attention to rumors winch may be circulated by the enemies of Russell vile, but go and VOTE,-unless there is official notice that there will be no election.

sanitary evils which afiiicts the health
of the city. A sweeping radical re-
form is necessary all along the line.
Let us all get ready for it and go at it
in earnest. We are inclined to agree
with the Avalanche that all under
ground cisterns known to sipe should
be filed up with earth, and that the
Council should require all new ones
to be built above ground, as they are
in New Orleans. Get rid of bad els
ters, clean out the privy vaults, fill
them partly with earth, lime and
other disinfeetants, and then use them
until we can build and connect with
sewers. Thisis getting at the bottom
and real starting point in sanitation.
1t may take two or three years to thor
oughly cleanse the city, but it can be
done and Memphis made as healthy

State Senator Foster, of Ripley
county, Indiana, who is now in Wash
ington, has been questioned with re-
gard to the negro emigration to his
State. He reports that about two
thousand negroes have reached there
to date. The first lot that arrived in
the State consisted of fifty men and
four women, but now they are rushing
in with all their relations, and some OF
them are in deplorable state Of des-
titution. The people of Indiana would
welcome able-bodied laborers, but he
says that the people are beginning to
look upon the whole projectas ascheme
to colOnize voters in the State.
They have no feeling against the ne
groes, whom they believe to be dupes,
but there is an intense feeling against
those who have duped them. If the
negroes had gone there Of their own


accord they would all have been well
received, and would have obtained
employment and good wages; but as it
is there is a very strong public senti-
ment against them, and the people
have become disgusted. The public
sentiment in his section of the state is
so strong that the farmers and others
who employ these people find them
selves in ameasure ostracised. If the
movement is intended as a political
one Mr.. Foster predicts that it will
be entirely Intellectual, because the
party expecting political capital out
of it will lose more by the detection OF
the citizens of Indiana than they pos
sibly gain by the new comers.

His reason is that it is the only issue

A very favorite trick adopted at Lima,
in carnival time, for frightening people
as they pass along the streets, is the
following: A sack, filed with fragments
of broken glass and porcelain, is fastened
to the balcony by strong rope, Of such
length, that when suspended from the
window, the sack is about seven feet
above the street. The apparatus being
ready, a mischievous negress and her
"amita'' (yourg mistress) watch the
passers>by until they select one for their
victim. The sack is then thrown over
the front of the balcony, and deateu-
ing crash ensues, though the rope pre>
vents its contents from hurting any one.
It is well known that in almost every
street in Lima there is at least one ball
cony ready prepared for the performance
of this trick yet the suddenness of the
crash always proves a shock, even to
the strongest nerves. People start and
run to the other side of the street, and
are sometimes so terrified that they drop
down; then loud laug hter and jeering
remarks are heard in the balcony
Every year this trick is prohibited by
the police, but prohibition is treated
with contempt.

uncut cane will ripen ju-t as early and
will be as good, if not better, than those
on the cane that is cut off, The reason
g, that the loots of the vine supply all
the sap that the grapes and canes require
and by cutting back canes the first re.
ceives no more nourishment than it did
before the canes were cut, because it car
