Elder Orson Hyde came in, ins:. "Uoon hearing this the landlord went, and tapping the sheriff on the shoulder, took him a few steps to one side, and said, "You have made a mistake. That is not Brigham Young; it is William Miller of Nauvoo." "The Marshal, very much astonished, exclaimed, 'Good heavens,, and he passed for Brigham !" He then took Bro. Miller into a room, and turning to him, said, "What in h is the reason you did not tell me your name?" "You have not asked me my name," Bro. Miller replied. "Well, what is your name?" said the sheriff, 'with another oatlw "My name is William Miller." "I thought your name was Brigham Young. Do you say this for a fact?" "Certainly I do," returned Bro. Miller. "Then," said the marshal, "why did you not tell me that before?' "I was under no obligation to tell you," replied Miller. '.'The marshal, in a rage, walked out ot the room, followed by Bro. .Miller, who walked off in company with Lawyer Edmonds, Sheriff Backenstos and others, who took him across lots to a place of safety; and this is the real . birth of tne story of "Bogus Brigham."

So it continued until an apostate Mormon, by the name of Thatcher, who bad lived in Nauvoo, came in and sat down and asked the landlord where Brigham was.

Editor Woman's Exponent: : Felt, yesterday, accompanied by general President of the Primary Associations, and Mrs. Ellen S. Clawson, Stake President, I attended the Annual meeting of the Primary Association of South Willow r Creek, Draper, Mrs. Smith and counselors presiding. In both sessions, forenoon and afternoon, after the usual opening exercises, the time was Mrs.-Loui- e recitations by- - the children, with shor addresses by lihe- Preei--den- t interspersed and la'dy visitors present. The recitations were well selected and well rendered, and all was conducted in such quiet, good order as reflects much credit on the presiding Board. The influence felt was delightful, and truly exhilarating the interest never flagged. The fixed attention of the children during all the exercises was particularly1 pleasing, and very remarkable. One strikingly interesting feature of the day was, that quite a respectable number of young lads and lasses,'boys and girU nearly grown to manhood and womanhood, members of the Association, who, for the sake of the great benefits to be derived from these educational opportunities, manifest a nobility and superiority of character far above many of their age, for they do not think it beneath their dignity to be associated with little children. We had the proof of the benefits they are securing to themselves before us. The girls efficiently led in singing one of the boys dismissed the meeting in the forenoon, another made the opening prayer in the afternoon, and another, when asked by the president if he haoV a recitation prepared, answered in the' nega tive; he then arose and made a very nice extempore epeech; which amply atoned for the omission. These boys and girls are preparing themselves for future usefulness and honor. .. jg jj ' g ' ' Lake Salt 1883. I Cjty, Aug. 11th, occupied with - " - - |
