fffl Vol. xix. Astoria, Oregon. Thursday Morning, July 19, L883 Ko. 94 THZT WAT? OP MANY WIVES. Hearing that Brigham Young, Jr., and his family had arrived from Salt Lake, and were quar tered at the American House, Co lumbus, Georgia, one of the Trib une reporters took a notion yes terday morning that he would run down and interview Mrs. Young. The scheme of interviewing Brig ham was an old one there would be too enterprise in anj'thing of that kind, but the idea of a chat with the wife seemed new and brilliant. "Can 1 see Mrs. Brigham Young in the parlor for a few minutes?" inquired the reporter &t the office counter of the Ameri can House. "Walk up to the parlor and I'll find out," said Mr. Smith. The parlor was the 4argest the reporter had ever seen. It "was eighty feet one way and seventy the other, and the ceiling was so high that the reporter thought they must have to use a telescope to determine when it needed whitewashing. He sat down in a chair in one comor. Pretty soon a tall stout lady entered the room. "Mrs. Young, I suppose?" asked the reporter. "Yes sir," answered the lady. "I have called, madam," said the reporter, "to ascertain your views on questions involved by polygamy and other institutions peculiar to Mormonism." "Ah, sir," said the lady pleas antly, as she took a seat, "T fear I shall be unable to gratify your curiosity. My husband has gone out for a walk: when he returns he will doubtless be glad to advise you upon any topic concerning our faith of which it may be proper to say anything." "But I wish to obtain j'our views," explained the reporter. "Mr. Young has frequently been heard through the press, while his wife has never been interviewed. May I hope, mada m, that you will accord the Tribune the honor of being the first to convey to the public your " "Do you wish to see me?" in quired a small, thin lady, who hid enfered the parlor quite noise lessly. "Excuse me," said the reporter, "but Mrs. Young was the lady I asked for." "Well, I am Mrs. Young," said the small, thin lady. "Yes," said the tall, stout lady, "This is Mrs. Young, and so am I. This is Sophia, Mr. Young's fourth "wife, while I am Margaret, his seventh wife he calls me birdie." The reporter was considerably embarrassed. He might have been happy with either, were t'other fair charmer away. "Be seated, madam," said he; "I have called to ascertain your views on the questions involved by polygamy and other insti tutions peculiar to Mormonism." "Oh, but I've nothing to say," protested the small, thin lady; "Brigham will be in shortly, and maybe he'll- talk with yon." "But, madam," urged the re porter, "Mr. Young has frequently been 'heard from through the press, while his wife beg pardon, I mean his wives have never " "Who was it wanted to-see me in the parlor?" asked a red haired freckled lady, coming into the room at this juncture. "Why, this gentleman is a re porter," explained the tall, stout lady, "and he has come to inter view us. Mr. Reporter, this is Mrs. Lucy Young, my Brig ham's second wife." Mrs. Lucy Young bowed stiflly and sat down on a hair sofa. "Pm not going to be inter viewed," she said. "If there's any interviewing to be done, Briggy's got to do it" "Hello, girls, anybody down here want to see me?" The inquirer was a curly headed, red cheeked young lady who came bouncing into the room very un ceremoniously. "It's a reporter come to inter Tie.rr us," said the freckled faced lady. "A reporter? Why, how funny 1" exclaimed the curly haired, redj cheeked young lady, laughing j heartily. She sat, down next to the reporter. "Pm one of the Mrs. Young," ; said she, "but 1 musn't say a word that is liable to be printed. Brig ham would never forgive me if 1 did, Pm his fourteenth wife, you know, and he's awful jealous. Oh, there you are, Emma. Come in dear. Here's an editor who wants to interview us." Emma was another wife the eighth. She was cross-eyed, but otherwise comely to view. She was followed by Rachael, the third wife, who was brown haired and blue eyed, and demure look ing. They were duly introduced. The reporter felt himself called upon to commence all over again. "Mrs. Youngs," said he, ad dressing the group, "I have called to ascertain your views on questions involved by polygamy and other institutions peculiar to the Mormons. "Wouldn't it be better to call the rest of us before we attempt to be interviewed?" suggested the eighth Mrs. Younjr. "Perhaps so," said the reporter. "But but but how many arc there of you?"' "Oh, we're quite a famity,' said the fourth Mrs. Young; and going to the parlor door called out: "Maud, Jennie, Clara. Rebecca, Harriet, Mabel, Ruth, Julia, Fran cis, Mary, Caroline, Esther, come into the parlor and bring the rest of us with you." The reporter pinchod himself to see whether he was awake. There was no doubt about it. The Mrs. Youngs began to stream into the parlor. There was ever' variety of them. They were tall, short, fat, lean, red faced, pale cheeked, plump, scrawny, old, young, sour, pleasant, vivacious, stupid, graceful, and awkward. The parlor got crowded why don't they have bigger parlors at, the American House, anyway? The idea of expecting a reporter to interview the Mrs. Youngs in a room not more than six by eight! The air was stifling. The report er felt as if he were going to faint. He began to regret that he had ever undertaken the novel task of interviewing the outfit. "Oh, girls! girls! here comes Briggy!" cried ono of the ladies who had been looking out of the window. "Whero? where?" screamed the rest, rushing pell mell to the win dows there were seven of them all craning their necks to get a look at their husband. Such scrambling and hustling was never seen before. The Youngs pushed, slapped and crowded one another in their attempt to secure u view of her liege lord. "See, he threw a kiss at me," exclaimed Mrs. Young. "He didn't either! It was for me!" cried another Mrs. Young. And immediately the rest of Mrs. Young indignantly asserted the kiss was meant for her, and then ensued a war of words, in which such endearing 'epithets as "You saucy jade," "You pert minx," "You mean thing." and "You cross old hen" figured con spicuously. The reporter crept wearily away from the scene. As he tottered through the hotel office Mr. Smith stopped him. "I hope you succeeded in get ting the interview you wanted," said Mr. Smith; "I did the best I could under the circumstances, but tha fact is, quite a number of the Mrs. Youngs have gone out shop ping and others were too much under the weather to receive callers.5" "I was attacked with muscular rheumatism in 1113' limbs on a late visit to Boston," says Mr. B. 13.

There is a line of five Territo ries lying between Minnesota and the Pacific ocean, upon the de velopment of which the Northern Pacific railroad is destined to nave a remarkable effect. Their united area exceeds by more than 100, 000 square miles that of the entire range of .Atlantic states from Maine to Florida, which comprised the original union of states, and they contain some of the richest lands on which the sun shines. The great streams of migration from all directions are pouring over their eastern and western frontiers and building up the ma terial for great states. Farms spread aver the plains and through the country as if by magic, and towns spring up in a month at the touch of enterprise and industry. Deposits of priceless minerals await the miner, and water power of stupendous extent is wasting itself on cataracts and wild streams alive with undisturbed fish. Capi tal and labor, eager as they are for profitable employment, arc em barrassed by the extent of their unusual opportunities in the northwest. The report, probably untrue, that a man who was hanged in Arkansas ten tlays ago was after wards resuscitated by his friends and is now alive, opens up an in teresting question. The sentence of the court was that he should be hanged by the neck until he was dead, and the ofliceis ma in sist that it is their strict legal dut to hang him again, and keep on hanging him until the fact of his death is undisputably established. On the other hand, his friends may claim that he has already com plied with the demands of the law. He was hanged by the executioner until the physician appointed to that service pronounced him dead, lie was cut down as dead, trans ferred to his friends as dead, and in the e3Tes of the law he was dead. What right, therefore, has the law to execute a man twice for the same crime, or to hang a man who is legally dead? Cin.Timcs-iShir. Absolutely .Pyre. This powder never varies.

A man's reputation, like his coat, may bu soiled without touc h ing the man )iimsclf,since the rep utation is not the character, any more than the sleeve is the arm it envelopes. The character can be soiled only by what the man him self does, while the reputation ma' have mud thrown upon it by any wretch unmanly enough to want to injure the standing' of an other.
