BISHOP POTTS.
Bishop Potts, of Salt Lake City, was
the lat-Aanct of throe wives and the hap-
py father of fifteen children. Early in
the winter the bishop determined that
Isis little ones should have agood time
on Christmas, SO he concluded to take no
trip down to San Ti'rancisco, to see w!litt
he rteuld thid in the shape of toys with
to gratify and itemise thorn. The
fergul hiehop packed his carnet -bag. em-
hraced Mts. Potts one by One, and Ides -
ed each of them affectionately, and start:
ed upon his journey.
He was gone a little more than n.
week, and when he came back he had
fiftren mouth -meows in his valise for
his (lallings. He got off the train at
Salt Lake, thinking how joyous and
exhilarating it would be at his home on
Christmas morning, when the whole fif-
teen of these mouth-organe shortid be
in operation upon different tunes at the
same moment. But just as he entered
the depot he saw a group of women
r t11,r11ie193 i tho ladies' room, anparently
waiting for him. As soon es he ap-
eroached, tne whole twenty of them
rushed up, threw their arms about his
neck and kissed hitn, exclaiuiing 1 "Oh,
Theodore, we are so-so glad you have
come back I Welcome home! :Welcome,
dear, dear Theodore 1 Welcome once
more to the bosoni of your family 1"
and then the entire score of them fell
upon his neck and cried over his shirt
front ancl mussed him.
The bishole seemed surprised and
embarrassed. Struggling to disengage
himself, be blushed and said :
"Really, ladies, this kind of thing. is
well enough -it is interesting and° all
that, but there must be some kind bf 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, eafeat
home. We have all been right well,
while you were away, love."
" It gratifies 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 contemplete
the fact ; but reallyI do not understand
why you should: rush into the railway
station and hug me because your livers
aro active and your digestion good. The
precedent is bad ; it is dangerous."
• " 011, but we didn't I" they exclaim-
ed in chorus. ".We came here to wel-
come you because you aro our bus -
band.''
" Pardee me, but there ranst be some
little --that is to say, as it were, I should
think not. Women, you have mietaken
your man."
44 Oh, no, (100.6061. 1'' they shouted;
" we were married to you while you
Were away." •
" Whitt 2" eXclaimed the bishop ;
" you do not mean to say
ye's, love. Our heeleand, William
Beown, died on Monday, and on Thurs-
day Brigham. 11)11(1.18 vision, in which he
eves directed to seal us to yeti,. and 80
he performed the ceremony at once by

Th-th-th-th-th-nruler !" observed the
b'lebop in a general sort of way. •
" And, darling, we am ttli living with
you now -we'll -ad the dear children."
"Childeen ! childven l" exchtiened the
bishop, turning pale ; " yoe doo't 1110811
Lo say that there is a pack of children,

" Yes, love., bet ottiy one litindred and

" Wha-wha-whaewlett d',eott soy ?"

„ ,
When the bishop reached the house,
he went around among the cradles
which filled the bac k parlor and the two
seeond etorey rooms, andattempted with
such eerneetness to beconie aequainted
with his new sons and aughters that
he set the whole hundred and twAntY-
fiVe and twins to min, while his own
original fifteen stood around and joined
in the chorus, Then the bishop went
out and sat in the garden to whittle a
stick and solemnly thinky while 'Hrs.
Potts distributed herself arouud in
twenty-three and soothed the children.
It occurred to the bishop while he mus-
ed out there, orr the fence, that lie had
not enough mouth-orgaes to go around
atriong the children as the family now
Stood, and so, rather than seem -partial,
he determined to go back to San Fran-
cisco for one hundred and forty-four
more,
So the bishop repacked his carpet -bag
and began again to bid farewell to his
family. He tenderly kissed all of Mrs,
Potts who were at home, and started
for the depot, while Mrs. Potts steed
at the various tvinclews and waved her
handkerchiefs at him, all except the
woman with the Waem mar, and she, in
a fit of absent-mindedness, held one of
the twins by the leg and brar dished it
at Potts as he fled down the street.
The bishop reached San Francisco,
completed his purchases, and was just
about to get on the train with his one
hundred and forty-four mouth -organs,
when a telegram was handed him. It
contained information to the effect that
the ;album -halved 1:‘11..s. Potts had just
had a daughter. This induced the
bishop to retarn to the city for the pm,
pose of purchasing Ito additional organ.
On the following Saturdityhe return-
ed home. As he approached his house
;t swarm of young children flew out to
the front gate, and ran towards him
shouting, " There's pa! Here comes
pa! Oh, pa, but were glad to see you.
lineran for pa 1" etc. etc.
Tile bishop looked at the children as
they floeked exonud him and clung to
lais leg and coat, aud was astonished to
perceive that they were not his nor
the late Brown's. He said : " You
youngsters have made it mistake ; I am
not you': father," and the bishop sinti
ed good-naturedly.
"Oh, yes, you are, though 1 ecream-
ed the little enes ie chorus.
" But I say I run not," said the bish.
op, sdverele;, and fro,wning, " you ought
to be ashamed of yourselves. Don't
you know etorptellers go 2 It is scan-
dalens for yeti to violate the truth it:

Ghe bishop turuieg pale.
" Why, ma's wedding, of conrse.
She was married yesterdly, to you, by
Mr. Young, and we are all living at
your house now, with our little broth-
ers and sisters."
The biship sat down on the pave.
easnt. and wiped away a tear. Then
he asked :
" Who was your father ?"
"Mr. Simpson," said the crowd,
" and he died on Tuesday."
And how many of his infernal old
widows -I mean low 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 int0
the enthusiasm of the occasion. There
appeared to be, in a certain sense, too
much sameness about these surprises,
ro he sat there with his hatpulled over
his eyes and considere11t the situation.
Finally, seeing there was no help for
it, he went to the house, and linty
eight of Mrs. Potts rushed up to him
and kissed him, and-toltl liim how the
prophet had another vision in which he
was commanded to seal Simpson's
widow to Potts. When the bishop

counery school -house, weather beaten,

old inhabitants pointed out as the place
where Ulysses S. Grant received his
early education. The building has
since been torn down we believe, btu,
there are recollections connected with
it which beam become of historic inter-
