A Sketch of the Prophet by One Who Knew Him Well. J. A McKnight in Worthington’s Magazine. ‘Though kind and gentle in manner in his public relations he was in fact and at heart a tyrant of the most pronounced type. Among his wives and children he was regarded with something akin to awe, but an awe that was ac- companied with profound respect. All his | wives addressed him and spoke of him a ‘Brother Brigham.” They maintained a digni- | fied reserve toward each other, while the prophet’s manner to them was generally of a lordly character. But the children of the va- rious wives mingled together like own brothers and sisters, and some of the etrongest friend- ships in the family grew up between the daugh- routine in the “Lion House,” his principal res dence in Salt Lake City, was as follows: In summer at 7 and in. winter at 6 o'clock | morning prayer {ras held in the large family lor.

He again raised the smoking weapon, Mrs. Ballard screamed: “Oh! don’t kill ue.” The answer was a bullet which plowed through her hair. Tazwell then placed the weapon to bis head, saying “I'll go too,” but after a pause, as if in deep meditation, withdrew it and rushed to the yard gate.

Each wife who lived in the Lion House had her own distinct suite of apartments, in whose traded. The only common territory in the house was the broad ball running through it on the first oor, the dining rooms in the base- ment, the big parlor and an immense latticed veranda extending along the west side of tho building. ‘The rooms were all neatly but plainly carpeted and furnished, and the liveliest kind of home life existed there among the younger children. ‘The girls were required to help their mothers with housework and sewing, end alwaya seemed very cheerful about it. Some of them could sing and play fairly well, though their oppor- tunities for instruction were of the poorest. ‘The boys also bad their regular duties to per- form—working in the garden, :iiking cows, attending to poultry, and such other light ckores #8 boys could ‘do, with the double vantage of learning something useful and of being kept out of mischief.

One or more wives usually dwelt there, while others had their homes in various towns in the territory. On the farm the prophet planted extensive groves of mulberrie ‘The fruit was eaten by the family and the boys and girls were employed in large numbers to pick the leaves and feed the silk worms, for the prophet went into the silk-raising business on # turning out some good material.

Aside from the knowledge that we are gradu- ally being brought nearer the time of bright Diue skies and warmer weather, says a writer in the New York Times, the month of February has no very particular interest to us from an ‘astronomical standpoint, for with the exception of the zodiacal light that about this time makes its appearance in the western horizon, there | are few features of attractivences, There are seven conjunctions in which the moon and the planets figure in the events of | February. two of which are exceedingly close | and, weather conditions proving favorable, will be attractive celestial pictures.

As previ- ously announced, he was released on a ticket of leave. The release was made without any previous notice and without any reason being given him. Calian is not much broken in health, but looks twenty years older than when sentenced. | He has been confined in Chatham and Portland | prisons, He says that the prison methods are | | driving the alleged dynamiters out of their rea- | son. They are not allowed to speak and solitary confinement is imposed if the men are even eus- ected of whispering. Calian says that Dr. Gallagher of Brooklyn, who was a fellow prisoner, is insane, but the officials say he is shamming.’ Gallagher, accord- [ing to Callan, is in the infirmary most of the time and cannot Inst long. One of the other dynamiters, Callan says, has become wdriveling idiot. Sometimes he breaks out in wild laughter and for this is punished by | solitary confinement in a dark, cold cell in | chains for from two to five da: Callan ia fifty-two years of age and unmal FOR YOUNG LavIcs.
