Ttvo (Wat-covered horses, a wag
on containing a man and a woman,
witli a long rope, to which was at
tached an aged yellow dog, ap
peared on the streets here yester
day. The man was dark and swar
thy, with white beard and long flow
ing hair. Tim woman was dressed
in faded calico, her skin was as
dark as her husband’s, and her face
was covered with wrinkles.
“My name is Sarah Stafford, and
this is my husband, Timothy Staf
ford,” said the woman. “We UJves,
or at least we used to-llve, twenty-
eight miles from I’ortlandJ state oi
Maine. For four years we’ve been
galavantin’ about out West,
and arc now on our way diome,
thankful that we’vo bad our lives
preserved, for we’ve been in some
almighty light places, and several
times looked death in the face.”
Mrs. Stafford lighted a little
black pipe, and after puffing vigor
ously, continued: , . , .
“Wo don’t look like Motinonsj
do we? Well Sve Tdn’t Mormons
any more, but wo once was. The
fools ain’t all dead yet, which ac
counts for us bein’ here to-day.
You fee,my Timqthy ,w&» f always
susceptabls, and I. had tbbna this,
that and the other thing if I wanted
to live with him in peace. Well,
one dny; while he was cutting grass
in tbo mender a lcanish man with
an awful oily tongue came along
and asked him to jinc tho Mormons.
Now, po far as I was cpncerntd, l
hated’the Mormons wus than 1
did pizen; but when Timothy
brought the man to the house, and
he talked so good and kind like to
me and called me his dear Sister
Stafford, I sorter warmed tip to
him and listened to what be said.
Oh, he painted an awlul pretty
picture of Utah, where all was love
and happiness, and where there
was no backbitin’ or slander. He
read to us from hia Bible and pray
ed, and seemed ao good tUat Timo
thy here was actually struck, while
I—well, I was a little struck too.
Well, to make a long story short,
as tho sayin’ is, Timothy and I
were pursuaded to sell our larm
, and go to Utah. We got there In
' time aud was welcomed by tho Mor
mon Oliuroli: 7 Tito deacons and
other big guns tuclu a groat fuss
ove.- Timothy,, . Idle the woman
loo’.' 'V'tlte# lricJWOne old fcllo4f
for thirty years und I was satisfied,
It made me terrible mad, tbougb,
to hear him Jabberin’ about a young
wire, jest as if I warn’t good ’nough
for him. Bnt I took him by tbe
hand and left tbe country. We
walked until mornin’ and put up at
a farm house. I bought the horses
and wagon or the farmer and kiv-
ered the wagon with muslin. Since
then we’ve been travelin’ toward
Maine as fast as them critters will
carry us, and when we get there
we’ll never leave again until they
carry us out feet first. So there,
young man, is our story. It’s as
true as the gospel, and if it will
teach any old fools in this country
to stay at home, mind their own
business and let the Mormonsalonc,
vou can print it in your paper, al
though I’d awfully bate for my old
neighbors down in Maine to see it.”
Mrs. Stafford, with her Timothy,
yellow dog and jaded horses, left
for the East this morning.

Western Musical Criticism.
From tlie Aurora, III., Jouraal.
The Kellogg concert, as might
have been anticipated, was largely
attended. Tho dollar freeze-out
was rather rough on the hoodlums,
but tbe audience managed to exist
without tbe customary war whoops.
The divine LouiBe was as resonant
as usual, which, by tho way, she
ought to be, being well seasoned.
Tbe editor of this paper makes no
great pretentions in the way ofmu
sical criticism, but when a genuine
$600 grand, spiral, stub-and twist,
back-action, self-adjusting, chro-
nometor-balanced, full-jeweled,
fourth-proof, rip-snorting conglom
eration comes to town, lie proposes
to bump himself. Kellogg’s dia
phragm has evidently not, like
wine, improved with old age. Her
upper register is up-slairs near the
sky li ht, while tbe lower register
is closed for repairs. The afore
said Kellogg performed her grand
triple act of singing, rolling the
eyes and talking to some one in
the flies at the same time. Her
smiles at the audience were calm
but determined, but her smiles at
the “feller” hid behind the scenes
were divine. Her singing, when
Bhe condescended to pay any at

ical ear, (tho other car boing care
fully folded up) seemed to bo n
blending of the fortissimo crescen

costume was a harmonious blend

style, and was vory gorgeous, barr
ing a tendency to spill some of tbe
contents Out at' the top. Tho Ital
ian part of the business was as
fidgety and furious as usual, and
demonstrated what early associa
tion with the band organ and mon

ble and obese freak, Brignoli, was
as gradefnl as usual. His appear-
auce very nearly resembles a stove
