The Twentytblrd Wife Ruled tbe Koest, While the majority of the " faithful" in Salt Lake (oity are agitated and excited over the turn affairs have token, and not a few of them are packing up preparatory to jour- neying to tne new Mormon strongnold, wherever that may be, Amelia Young, the twenty-third and last wife of Brigham V oung, goes quietly itnd serenely about her house- hold duties as usual. She has no love for the Mormons, and she tekes no trouble to conceal the fact. Her present residence is one of the most deairdb.e and handsome in the city, and yet it cannot compare with the palatini mansion which old Brigham had DuUt and presented to her, and which still bears the name "Amelia's palace" Old John Taylor holds forth in it at present. Bat Ids time, as well as that of tne rest of them, bids fair to be short. The story of Amelia's marriage to Brig- ham, and a few incidento of after life are very interesting. An old lady who at one time vai Amelia's school teacher at Council Bluffs, Iowa, tells me the following tele Upon one occasion when Brigham Toung was passing thjrbugh Council Bluffs, on his way to Si*lt Lake he caught sight of Amelia s pretty face and fine figure, and immediately resolved to add another one to his harem. The girl's parento were good Mormons and their consent to the union was joyfully giv- en Not so with the girl. She nad a sic at will as well as a hanoUome form and pretty face, and she declared that she would not marry " the ugly old heathen." Her part ents, however, were determined not to lose the chance of gettiog so near heaven by such an allianoe, and sternly commanded Amelia to don her robes and take the hand of the all- powerful Brigham. Seeing th »t the would be compelled to marry him if she steyed at home, the girl made her way to a neighbor's, told them her story, and received their sym- pathy and ]^otaatiian. Her parents inatitu- tod a search, during which Amelia hid in a root cellar, over the door of wliioh was a wood house. The kind people oaxried Iter meals to her without attracting suspicion un- til on the third day one of the spiea employ- ed observed steam arising from a basket which the gentleman was carrying to the wood house. This led to her discovery, and, as she was under age, her parento took charge of her. Aftor a hard struggle, AmeFa finally con- sented to marry the great Mormon, but de- clared " If I do marry him, I'll have my own way, and he wiU find it out." He did. Several years after their marriage, upon one occaaion Amelia told Brigham to buy her a Singer sewing machine. The old man promised to send it up that day, and walked off with his hands in his pocketa. thinkug, doubtlesi, how many tithes it would take to pay for it. By the tame he got down toTO be forgot what kind of a machine he wanted, consequently it was a Whoe'er Wflson that the men brought up stairs to Amelias sittfaigroom. As soon as that lady saw that her orders had not been obeyed to the letter, she de'iberatoly pulled the offensive machine to the held of the stairs, and, giving it a push down it went, bumpty bump, untfl It reached the bottom, all broken to pieoea. The next day a "Singer ' stood in the place allotted for it, and nothing more was iUid of the affair. Upon another oooaalon, when Brigham had a number of distinguish- ed meets, Amelia, who was present at the diSrtoble, amused herself by talliBg â- ome nuts that were on tiie toble and ttirow- injr the shells out of the window. Brigbun muiifested his annoyance at this V^Mtdku without effiBot, when finaUy he "oWâ„¢* " Amelia, my dear, I wish you would not throw those shellB out upon the grass. loey make snob a moss.'

Thafs the girl yoa ate looking f«r, young man." Now, whati want to say I am wall ao- ^nainted with this young sohool mam. Fact is. It was my farm she apn% the snmour on. Nioe girl, EUa is, as aver ran wild in the son. We was glad, wife an' me, to have her oome, an she did 'bout as she pleased on the farm. Fd often read in the papers 'bout these young women that taugbt school in the winter and farmed in the summer, but 1 never had any experipucea of 'em before. Well, sir, she farmed. First day, nothin'd do but she must drive the hoas ra^e Well, every man and woman that comes from town wanto to drive the hosa rak«, an' they oall that gettin' in tbe hay. My little Jsney, eleven years old next May, nsually drives the rake for us, but she ain't been feelin' overly peart this summe*, an' I kinder kept her out of the sun. So Miss Ella gita herself boosted up on the ho«s rakeâ€" my boy Joe he boosted her â€" an' then she soreaned and fell off then she got on again, hit the hoss a crack an' away she went on the dead jump out o' the field into the road, boss a-goin dust a flyin' and Mirs Ella soreeohin' Some of the men headed her off an' stopped the hoss. Then she tried it again. This time shestaok right through the standin' grass where it was tallest and thickest, and tan- gledeat hoss a balkin' and' tuggin' awajL by turns, grass holdin' on or condn' up by^ the roots, rake teeth a snappin' We got her out of that, an' lost a whole day on the rake, gettin' it mended. Then ahe tried drivin' a load iiito the big bam. Had to send to thehouse for a ladder, an' then all the men had to go clear out of the field « bile she climbed up on the load. Drivin' in, she got the wagon oaufiht in a hedge gap as wide as the Missouri Bivtr, run over two stands of bees, npset the load and buried herself under three hundred pounds of hay. It was the safest place for her under the excitin' circumstances so we just left her there ontil the bees got calmed down, an' we got some work done. Next load she went in on, and then turned all ot- the men oat of the bam while she climbed up into the mow, an' then ahe wand- ered around ontil she stopped into a chute an' shot out abont twenty -eight feet into the cow bam, and lit right on the back of a Jer- sey calf that was worth two hundred and fifty dollars of any man's money, an hour before. ' Miss Ella wa'n't killed, but she was that j Humed up that she lay in bed two days, an' but for that providence, we'd hev lieen work- in' at that hay yet. An' anybody that wants a broken-back calf can have one at his own figgers. Well, oome wheat harvest, she must drive the self binder. That was a little too risky, but she had her own wav. But she couldn't be trusted up above the knives, so somebody hud to set up there an' hold her on. My boy Joe held her on â€" I told Joe she was a mak'n a fool of him â€" an' if she didn't make hfm drive arotmd pvery poppy an' every blosscm- in' weed in that fiel to save it. Never mind the wheat, but sive the blamed ve ds. Thrre was only one stump on that three hundred and twenty acres of prairie land^ just one stumpâ€" an' I hope I may go to tod tx fore Thanksgivbi' if that girl didn't ran into it an' break the re per. We lost all tie rest of that day mendin' it. An' yet, we all liked the girl. But the idee of her farmin' I Why, do you know, sir, one day in hayin' she went to town â€" took one of my best work horses an' was gone all day â€" an' came home with 'bout twenty yards of blue an' white ribbo as, am' tied it on the men's hats, and the rake handles, an' wanted us all ti wear biled shirts with the sleeves looped up with blue ribbon, sm' go ma'^chin' out to the hay-field, me at the head, with the most an* longest ribbons, a singin' " We are m«R7 baymaken, tra, la, U, la, la r She saw it done that way c noe in a concert or theatre, an thcnght that was the way hayin? was alw3.ys done.

My boy Joe, he did wear his hat out, but he hid it under a hedge when he got out of sight o the house. I told Joehe waathe biggest fool I over see. WeU, Miss Ella got along fairly well after wheat harvest. She gathered some "grace- ful sprays," she called 'em, of poison ivy, one day, and couldn't see out of one eye for ^hae^y she took atin paU to go out after berries, and when she went through the cow pasture the cows saw her and tiiougbt thm salt in the pafl, and th«y ohaaed her till she was nigh ready to drop.
