There nave been many statements made and many speculations indulged in, as to the actual nuuiter of wives which the much-married Uriyhurn 1 oung ha3 tak-n to his hed and boaru and to his capacious bosom. The mat ter is now fully settled by the details entered into, in connection with the matter, by the Salt Lake News Letter. That journal settle the fact that Young has espoused twenty-nine wives, twenty seven of which are probably living. lie wanted to marry another, but the lady declined. His first wife was Ann Angell, a fine name, fur. the wife of a projdiet. He warricd her legitimately in New York, And she has borne him five children. His second wife was Lucy Scely, who Wa3 the wife of Isaac Scely, when she became the " plurality" of Prophet 1)a!.t a C? ! s lino Lirt A Til v-v . 1 eight children. lie obtained her at Nauvoo. He next espoused her sister, Clara Decker, who has blessed the pro phet with two little prophets. Harriet tioDate yearnings, who is reported as ill-natured, jealous and the devil ot the nousenoia. one nas ueen Known 10 assail with her taper fingers the few ca pillary attractions that adorn the cra 11J CJl 1 L .1 i nium ot the Prophet Urigham. Shc Anno tint Anrn n. no fnr Mtirmontftm nnd Young does not care much for her. She IS IIlv piiJJuc I't IJIB M i'U. . 6 was Lucy liiglow, said to be beauti ful and intelligent. She believes in Morirjonisuj. She has no children. No. G is a blonde of the bnck dust tinge, and her maiden name was Mary Twiss. She has a freckled lace, low foreneau, pug nose, and loves the prophet de votedly Martha IJowker stands No. 7 on the list Her love for the prophet is unrequited. Harriet Barney won the tnatrimonial prize as wife No. 8. ;She is represented as n sad, sweet woman. " Sh$ was formerly the pure and spotless wife of a devoted husband. No woudcr f ghe is sad. Wife No. 9 was the po sition assigned to Eliza Burgess, of Manchester, Jogland. She has blessed lirigbam with fife Young additions to his family. Klleii Hockwood, a New. England girl with considerable personal! ' beauty, was selected as his 10th wife. She is sickly, and, as a consequence, is of little importance in "the hou?eliold.. Susau Suively is the llih light. She is of New England origin and devotes herself to knitting warm stockings and mittens fur the prophet Jtinirna An gell folded her downy wings as wife No. 12. She was a widow, aud is rare ly visited by Brighaoj. Margaret Alby became his 13 th wife, but she died, in 1853, leaving two .children to the care of her Brigham. Margaret Pierce ac cepted the position of wife No. 14. She has several children, but she and the prophet do not live f.apjaly. When M r. Campton joined the Mormons, at Nauvoo he had a very pretty wife. Brigham coveted her, and shn became wife No 15, leaving six children to the care of her real husband. Wile No. IG was Mary Biglow, the sister tf wife No. 5. Mormanism did not agree with her and she left. Wife No. 17. was Eliza Body Snow, a poet. She lives elegantly and dresses chgantly. His 18th wii'j was Zona 1. Huntingdon Jacobs. Amelia Partridge became his 10th wife. She is said to be beautiful an the uiotlier of four children. Mrs Augusta Cobb left a comfortable home, children and friends in Boston to be come wife No. 20, Wife No. 21 was the wilb of the late Joseph Smith. Young did not want her, but gave her a place to strengthen his hold upon the Church. Wile 22 was Clara Chase, who died a maniac ; she left four child ten. Emeiine free was made his 2od wife, and was said to be the tio-st beau tilul of all, and really the idol of Brig ham's heart. He abandoned her, how ever, for another, and married wife 24. who with 25, 2G, 27, and 2X, are un known or unseen, if they have. not,- like wile 1G, " taken up their beds and walked." Th' h.-t female addition to 'he Young family wa Amelia Foisom, as wife 20. She is only about twenty five years of age The prophet won her affections only after u hiti! and de voted courl.-hip. She was to be his tast and only darling; but lie has itiee sought to marry Mi-sSalina Ur-enback who indignantly repelled his advances. In the sad history of all these mar riage there i an rvidenee of that im plicit faith vvhieh every wonati evince in the fidelity ol mm. Every additional wife seemed to bo convinced that all the preceding ones were to be aban doned, and she alone was to be last and only loved one of all. In no cae did they appear to anticipate that the pro phet wis to one day weary of their charms and seek for new one.- 1-ewhere The blow in uibt; hC. it seeius, fell with almost crushing effect, especially upon tluso of the higher order of in tellect whom lie had induced to be. come hi victims. A Nor.LK Fi.rmon. The Newark, N. J., Advertiser has the following : " The Bev. Father Hennessy, pastor of St, Patrick's Church, Bergen City, delivered a terrible and bitter sermon on Sunday last, leveling his thunder bolts against the gin mill keepers of his missiou. During his discourse he said : ' I am going to get a list of all the grog shops and gin mill proprietors, and if they don't close their houses every Sat urday night a': 12 o'clock, and not open till Monday, I wiil not allow them nor their wives to come to this altar. They must give up their unholy work. Let them be content with selling groceries. It's better to make fifty cents a day honestly, and justly, with the blessing of God upon it, than ten dollars a day with the curse of God upon it. Re member, that the money gained iu this dirty work will not profit you long. It will vanish like the froth on the river. You are carrying souls to destruction and ruin ; you are robbiug the widow and the orphan: the poor and the needy. Cease, cease your work, then and re solve to get an honest and decent liv ing The New York Herald of the 20th February has the following short edito rial : " The British War Officer esti mates for the support of the army during the military year from April, 1872, to April, 187-, shows u reduction iu the Government demand from that of the la'st but still current year, of a million of pounds sterling. This does not look like war. A few such item of retrench ment at home would soon make up thirty millions of dollars in gold to ten der for a discharge from the American bill of damages in the Alabama case." The. Placcrville" Democrat under stands that new and rich digging? have been discovered on Tanner's Ranch, near Itingold, Diamond springs town shir. Its informant says they are reg- ular '49 diggings Couldn't Spell fu A Yankee from the G reen Mountains visited the city ot London. While pass ing through one f the thoroughfares, his attention ws arrested by some speci mens of writing paper exposed for sale iu a shop window. Seeing the proprietor of the establishment standing in the door, the Yaukee asked civilly, what he did with those nice bits of tiapcr. " We keep them to ti s irp gape seed in," said the cockney, snappishly. Oh, yedu-r-du ye?" said JohnatlHin. Passing down the street a few steps, our tudiguaut Yaukee saw another mer chant. " I say, mister can ou tell me what that feller does for a living what keeps them ere uice bits of paper in the wiu dowr " Yes, sir. He is a small dealer in paper and a sort of scribe. lie writes letters lor persons." "I reckon he is a small dealer and that he is u phariseeas well as a scribe." " Do you think ho will write a letter for me if 1 pay him for it?" 'Certainly," replied the merchant. The Yankee thrust his hands iu his pocket almost up to his elbows and walked back. I ay, mister, they say as how you write and svll letters lor folks what can't write. What will you ax to write a letter to my siater Sallie V " 1 will charge yon five shillings." " Will ye write just what i tell ye, and Mpell the words right as we do in Vermont?" ' To be Mire I will.". " Well, I guc-.s you may write to Saliie. The Iondoner procured a pen, ink and paper, aud the Yankee commenced dleutiuu after the uual Myle. "Dour sister Sallie. ' Hived iu town lat week," 44 Got that down '' Yes, go on.' ' Thought I'd gJ into the country and take a ride. Weli, fbe old mare balked. She wouldn't gii, m 1 licked her. " Ltcked her -licked her licked her licked her licked her " " What is the use of saying that s many turnr ' 'v None of your bu-inos, I pay you five shilling. Licked licked her licktd her.'' " This pge is full of licked hers." Turn over, then lbkcd her licked tier liektd her. She would not go then, so 1 gut out and kicked her kicked her kicked her--" You are not intending to say that us many times as )ou said licked her are you V 4 None of your business; I pay you kicked her kicked her kicked her. She wouldn't go then, so 1 sharpened the cud of a whip handle, pricked her- piickcd her pricked her-pricked her Never mind, I pay you. Licked her pricked her kicked her licked her. " She wouldn't go then, so I got out and" (here the Yankee made a chir rnppiug noise with his tongue aud lips which bid defiance to orthography) I cannot spell that." " O, you can't spell that, ch 1 Well, you needn't write uny more." "Need not write any more?" " No more," said the Yankee." " Not a word to close with ?" " Narry a word." " Y'ou will pay for what I have writ ten V " Narry a red. You did not write down what I told you.'' " Well, sir, what shall I do with this paper I have sooilcd ?" 4 Keep it to tie up gape seed ! Rich Quartz. We saw on o day last week, says the .Bed Rock Democrat, a piece of quartz from the Virtue Gold Mining Company Quartz Ledge that for richness exceeds anything ever struck io this locality. Experts iu quartz matters assure us that a ton of such quartz will pan out S50,000 at the lowest calculation. The great trouble is that it, together with considerable more like it, was found iu a "pocket," and these geological " pockets," like most other oekots, cneiallv become emptied very- suddenly. We hope, however that this quartz " pocket" may bo an exception , and if it should! yield any more than the Virtue Gold Min-. ing Company know what to do with, wo respectfully suggest that we can man age the surplus without inconvenience our pursj having been in a collapsed condition for lo ! these many months past. A Michigan woman, the wife of an in valid, and mother of twenty-six child ren, picked cranberries enough last fall to pay off a mortgage on her farm. Arms to France The New York Times of February 20th says : Mr. Conkling yesterday replied to Hie elaborate speeches of Messrs. Sum ner and Sekurz, on the sale of arms during the French and German war. His exposure of the motive for the in troduction' the preposterous preamble, which no .Senator could Vote foi without declaring tbe country disgraced, was very scathing, aud added to the discom fort already brought on the authors of the resolution. It could not have been pleasant to Mr. Sumner to have had the fact published that the Democratic Com mittees are flooding New Hampshire with his speeches, but that is a slight humiliation compared to the growing popular conviction that he has utterly forgotten patriotism iu an unsucessful attempt to gratify his personal and pol t icaTresentmut ; moreover, "he bids fair to have his fill of investigation. His scandalous preamble will ba voted down by a majority that will further mortify him, but the investigation he called foV he will get with the addition of an in quiry as to whether he or any other Sen ator has been 'committing a penal o fTeu.se in carrying on a C3rrespondenee with the ageut of a foreign government to de feat the measures of the United States. No one doubts that the conduct of Messrs. Sumner and Shurz has been disgraceful. The question y;t remains whether it has not been unlawful. PnuNicioi s Effk ts of Chkksr. Many persons cannot eat cheese with out experiencing. serious derangement of their digestive organs. With many it is quite indigestible With others only a small piece will cause severe constipa tion. Pr -f. Daniels says : It is a well known fact that chees; when cat?n of ten produces all the symptom of a?i ir ritant po'son, and that this effect may be produced by one or two cherse if a dairy is perfectly whokMmo. The na ture f the p ji.-on and the cause pro luc ing it are unknown. In o:ms cases it has oc n fcupr-ti,ej to rsuir inuu me cons having eaten vegetables contain tng poionou principle. It most prob iluy results iroui s-oue org inie poim, J generated by feruieuiat on, or put refac tion, caused by improper sooth-i !- of curing. But ehi mi-try has. to the prest nt. tint, failed todetecf the p-ion-ous principle, so that no sure means oS prevention can be given. In some ca-es, where the chee-e has not been properly pressed, and the casein ha un dergone a chctii'eal change, there poison ous elleets h ive occurred. In such in stances the chec.-e is found to be strongly acid, an 1 yields, when treated willt ether, an acrid, irritant oil. These facts make it probable that cam and skill in preparing the curd for the press, in pressing properly, as well as in curing, may do much to lessen this evil, which is ot far too ft tquent occurrence. Wood-hull-ing the Children This is what the Louisville Ledger thinks about it: "Mrs. Wood hull claims the right to choose the father of her own children. We have never quarreled with the Mrs. Woodhulls for exercising this right freely, frequently and capriciously, but for never exercising it until it's too late. This way of selecting a father out of a dozen suspicious characters, and long after the child is born is what wo complain of." A New Paper. Ucv. C. It Mat toon, of Brownsville, says the Democrat. is canvassing the State for means to start a Baptist denominational paper, lie thinks he will have but little difftS culty in securing the amount necessary. The paper will probably be published in this city on entirely new material and in an office fitted up expressly for that purpose. We wish the enterprise all possible success. A Lilliputian. Out in Illinois there lives a child, now three months old, weighing but two pounds. Its length is only seven inches, and its face about the size of a watch crystal. Its tiny arms are so slender that a small finger ring can be slipped on cither of them to the shoulder. This little creature is already. making quite a noise in its part of the world, and hundreds have called to see it. Its pareuts are of staudard size. . I- I.I II -I I A New York Herald correspondent in Paris, pays that negotiations are now going on for the purchase of the Island ; ot fet. Pierre Miquclon, by American citizens. The acquirement of the Island ia with the v ew of rendering more ef fective the telegraphic communication between the United States and Europe, ( the present operations ol the French ca- blc which tcrminatcf at St. Pierre, being inconvenient and not equal to the ne- ccsaitiea of the service.
