BISHOP POTTS.
Bish of?ii1,1rcn. Early in
the wintor the bishop determined that
his little ones should have a good tiMO
on Christmas, so he concluded to take e
trip down to San Francisco, to see wlted
Ito ,00tild find in the shape of toys with
which to ;gratify and amuse thom. The
*need biehop necked his carnet -bad. em-
braced Mrs, Potts one by one, and kiss-
ed each of them affectionately, and start. -
ed upon his journey.
He was gone a little more than a
week, and when he crime back he had
lift( en mouth -organs in his valise for
his darlings. He got off the train at
Salt Lake, thinkiug how joyous and
exhilarating it would be at his home on
Christmas morning, when the whole fif-
teen of these mouth -organs shothd be
in operation upon different tunes at thp
same moment. But jue as he enterer!
, roorn, apparently
waiting for !tiro. As soon as lie ap-
proached, toe whole twenty of them
rushed up, threw their arms about his
neck and kissed him, exclahning : "011,
Theodore, wc are so—so glad you have
come back Weicome home! Welcome,
dear, dear Theodore I Welcome once
more to the bosom of your family !"
and then the entire score of them fell
upon his neck alld cried over his shirt
front andonussed him.
The bishon seemed surprised and
embarrassed. Struggling to disengage
himself, be blushed and said :
"Really, ladies, this kind of thinra is
well eneugh—it is interesting and ° all
that, but there must be some kind 'of a
—that is, an awkward sort of a --excuse
me, ladies, but there seems to be, as it
were, a slight misunderstanding about
the—I am Bishop Potts."
" We know it, we know it, dearest,"
they exclaimed in chorus, "and we are
so glad to see you. safe at home, safe at
home. 'We have all been right well,
while you were away, love."
" It gra'jfies me," remarked the bish-
op, " to learn that none of you have
been a prey to disease. I am filled with
blissful serenity -when I contemplate
the fact ; but really I do not understand
why you should rush into the railway
station and hug rn9 because your livers
aro active aud your digestion good. The
precedent is bad ; it is dangerous."
" Oh, but we didn't 1" they exclaim-
ed in chorus. ".We canto here to web
come you because you are our hus-
.a'rdon me, but there must be some
little—that is to say, as it were, I should
think not. Women, you have mistaken
3700717-1011.''
011,
o, dearest 1" they shouted ;
n we were married to you while you
were away."
" What ?" exclaimed the bishop ;
" you do not mean to say that--"
Yeti, love. Our 11v...band, 'William

day Brigharn had, a vonn,which he'

biehop in a general sort of way.
" And, darling, we are all living with
you now—Wo'aitd the dear children."
"Children 1 children 1" cut:timed the
bishop, tot:ping pale ; " yon don't inean

twenty -4i yo, 1101cot-tubing the eight twit I:f

gasped the bishop, in a cold perspira.
; "one lmodred. end twenty-five !—
One hundred and twenty five ehildren,
and twenty more wiaes 1 It is • toe
1)111013 it ie awful 1" ivid the bishop sat
down and groaned, while the late Mes.
Browo, toe bride, etood around in a
eerni-eitele and fanned him with her
hamlets, all except the reddiaired one,
and 8110 ill 110V trenidatioh made a futile
effort to fan him with a coal scuttle.
But after a while the bishop became
reconciled to his new alliance, knowing
Well that, protests would be unavailing ;
so he walked hothe holding fi5 many of
the litIlo halide of the beide as he eould
conVeniently teeny itt his, while the red,
haired woman ..ziarried his anibrella,
Marched in front Of the parade to ro.
truive obstructions'atultiy scare off sixian
When the bishop reached the house
he 'wept arouud among the eradle
which filled the back parlor and the tw
second titorey rooms, aodattempted wit
such earnestness to beeon,e aequainte
with his new sons and Aughters tha
he set the whole huodred and twenty
fiVe and twins to cryhatt, while his ow
original fifteen stood around and joined
in the chorus. Then the bishop wen
out and sat in the garden to whittle
stick and solemnly thinke while 'Mrs
Potts distributed herself monad SI
twenty-three and soothed the children
It occurred to the bishop while he mus
ed. out there 00 111? fence, that he had
not enough moOth-organs to go around
arriong the children as the family now
stood, and so, rather than seem partial,
he determined to go back to San Fran-
cisco for one huudred and forty-fout
to ore.
So the bishop repricked his carpet -bag
and began again b bid farewell to his
family. He tenderly kissed all of Mrs,
Potts who were at home, and started
for the depot, while Mrs. Potts stood
at the various windows and waved her
handkerchiefs at him, all except the
woman with the warm pair, and she, hi
a, fit of absenthrindedness, held one of
the twins by the led and brardished it
at Potts as he fled fown the street.
The bishop reached San Francisco,
completed his purchases, and was just
abeut to get on tile train with his one
hundred and fotay-four tnouth-organs,
when a telegram was heeded him. It
eontained information to the effect that
the nuburnh
-aired Mrs. Potts hail just

ested iu •the family that 1,3righarn di
orced the whole concern ,tunI annexe
it to the doctor' who imoaecliately los
his reason and would 'twee butcher°
tile entire family if the red-haired NY°
mall and the oldest boy had not march
ea him off ‘0 a lunatic asylum. Wher
he spent his time trying to arrive at at
estimate of the number of his ohildret
by ciphering with an impossible corn
bination of the multiplication tabl
and algebra.

houne. As he approached his house
a swarm of young children flew out to
the front gate, and ran toward.; him
shouting, " There's pa! Here comes
pa! Oh, pa, but we're glad to seo you.
•durran for pa 1" etc. etc. ,
Tne bishop looked at the children as
they flocked areuud him and clung, to
his leg and coat, aud was astonished td
perceive that they were not his nor
the lute Brown's. He said: " You
youngsters have niade a mistake ; 113111
not youd father," and the bishop snail
ed good-naturedly.
"Oh, yes, yea axe, though 1 scream-
ed the little ones ip chorus.
" But 1 say I fall DOL," said the bish:
op, severel, and frowning, " you ought
tb be ashamed of yourselves. Don't
you know story -tellers go ? It is scan-
dalous for you to violate the truth io
this manner. My name is Potts."
" Yes. we know it is, exclaimed tin.
children, " W13 know it is, and so i$
our that is since the wedding."
I urli ?'!, demanded
" 'Why, ma's wedding, of coarse.
She was married yesterday, to you, by
Mr. Young, and we are all living at
your house now, with our little broth-
aud sisters."
The biship sat down on the pave.
nisnt, and wiped away a tear. Then
he asked :
" Who was your father ?"
"Mr. Simpson," said the crowd,
" and he died on Tuesday."
1' And „how many of his infernal old
widows -I mean 'how many of your
mothers are three ?"
"Only twenty-seven," replied the
children, " and, there are only sixty-
four of us, ond we are so awful glad
you have come home."
The bishop did not seem unusually
glad ; somehow he failed to enter hate
the enthusiasm of the occasion. There
appeared to be, in a certain sense, too
much sameness about these suepriees,
ro he sat there with his hatpulled over
his eyes and cousidered the situation.
Finally, seeing there was no help for
it, he went to the house, and fol ty-
eight of Mrs. Potts rushed up to him
and kissed him, and -told him how the
prophet had another vision in 'which he
was commanded to seal Simpson's
widow to Potts. When the bishop
stumbled around among the cradles to
his writing, d'esk, whcre he felt a-uoug
go 111, rings and rattles, for his letter -
paper, and then addressed a note, to
Brigham, aski,tg him as a 'personal fav-
or to keep awake till after Christmas.
" The man must take me for a found-
ling hospital," he said, Then the bish-
op saw clearly enougli that if lie gave
presents to the other children *and not
to the late Simpson's, the bride (relict
of Simpson) would probably souse
down oa him, fumble among his hair,
and make things wenn for hirn. So
repacking hie valise, he started again
for San Francisco for sixty-four more
mouttnargans, while Mrs. Potts grad-
ually took leave of him itt the •°Obey—
all but the brielt tOppedwoman. who
wits upstairs, and who had to be satis-
fied with screeching good-bye at the
top of her voice.
On his .way home after, hisvieit to

eh sat dow.: in

A few days ago a freight conductor
on one of the railroads went to the
Superintendent and said he thought
he ought to be adva,nced, havtne serv-
ed on the freight traiu for several years.
The Superintendent agreed tvith hint,
and told him that the cipinge sitould be
made the very next weelt.,. And it was
made. The Superintendent a day or
Iwo after took a seat in the rear end of
the coaches to see hcrw the uetv con-
ductor would take to business, and
pretty moon the official &tamed into tine
door, cap on his ear, sleeves pushed
up, and a half -acre smile on his face.
"Get out your pasteboards V' he
shouted, " I'm the high, munelty Inuolt

"Right hewers this way --play lively
—pass or order up—how's trurnps with
you- slide you right into Chicego--
hurry up, there—trump this ace --what
kind of a hand do you hold, old man 7"
There was something novel and ex-
hilarating in his style, but yet the Sup-
erintendent called the conductor up
stairs the next day and told him that
he was the best man in America to run'
a freight train and that he should have
to promote him backwards. He W4S

Grant in his Boyhood.
Away up in the nnall hollow, just
this side of Amelia, in Clermont coun-
ty, there stood a few years ago, an old
country school -house, weather beaten,
tutnble down and disused, which the
old inhabitants pointed out as the place
where Ulysses S. Grant received his
°Rely education. The building has
since been torn down we believe, but
there are recollectioue connected with
it which hayo become of historic inter-
est. ,
"Nobody thought when Grant was
a boy," said an old eitizen of Clermont
county who atieoded this school at the
same tinie the .President " that he
woual ever amoutit to much. Thi
mostntromising boy about the schoul
was one named Henry Wattey, He
was at the head of the class in mathe-
matics, geography, spelling and 1311 the
other studies, and oVerybody promised
•great things of him. But he, is now
running a forty -acre farm up in 4War-
reu'county."
" How did Grant average, iu his sta.
dies 7"
" Only middling. He, would never
be called dull , but lie was never 'bril-'
limit. I -le used to pend a great deal
of his time in reading Elie life of Napol-
edo, which 'interfered considerably with
his gabool .luties, until the teacliee &t-
