From Our Ouwn Corresoondent, Prano, Ill,, Dec. 33.—Iarrived here Jast night, gommissioned to extraot from Joreph Bmitb, Jr., son of tha Mormon prophet, his views ns to $he future of the Latter-Day Saiota in Utab, tho fato of polygamy, and sll he might 1mpar: con- earning the Motmon prablom, which scoms quite 88 Iar ae over from solation, but no less presses for solubion, Alightiug in the mud and dark- pess 1o which this quiet way-station literally was swallowed up, I soon secnred a pilot in the per- so0 of s small boy, who, lightiog the way with a feebly flickering lantern, took,me in tow, and aucosssfully navigated ttid entirs route to “y0UNG Jor EMITA'S"— ‘A averybodr here knows {t—(n the outekirts of .the town. There my pilot, 8o to apeak, cast off, sod dissppeared in the murky gloom, leaviog me ‘before s plain Uwo-story framo house, built as pearly 88 I oould make out from tho lights through the windows on the molel of tho old- {sahioned donblo log-cabin, or stage-cosch tavern.

A ruddy, plessaot-faced dame, ywith & chubby utilo one in arxe ‘and a haodsome small urchin tugging at her spron-strlogs, looksd at the children, spologetically said somethiug about thinking it 1wa8 one of the folks, and not beiu; able to como 0 the door, and informed me that Mr. Bmith was at the lecture st the Methodist Church. Thither I made my way, and, at tho closo of the leeture (which was by the Rev, Dr, Thomaa, late of the First M. E. Church, Chicsgo), the ticket- daker poiuted to s man toward the front of tho -audience, and said, *That's *Youog Joc.'” Waitiog at tbo door as he leisurely came down the alslo and lighted his lantern, I had good op- portonity to nots him, ¥ HOW B LOORED, He looked s fellow of cxcollent health and superd physique, broad-shouldered, and deop- cheated, with a compact, muscular frame, ratber tall and stout, and braciog bimeelt with an ercot, oasy catrisge, not pompous por vatn, but the matural result of stroug vitality aud hoalth- ful epirite.

But both Lair and beard ate ocoal-vlack, only falutly-stresked with giav, and Young Joe Is ysb too “young—about 43 I should say—to wear the patriarchial mspoct.
