Brigham Young, the famous leader

Origin of a Popular Song.
Among the favorite songs of
to-day are soma which originated
under peculiarly curious circum
stances. The familiar “Peek-a-
Boo,” which has been worn nearly
Ihreidbare, was, according to its
author, Mr. Scanlon, an inspira
tion of the moment. It was sug
gested by the gambols of some
children, who were playing around
the door where he whs waiting
idly picking out tuae* upon an
accordion. As the children
peeped cur o sly it s - his door,
he began to ty ‘-Pee ;-a-Boo,”
nodding hi# h* a i at tiie :• me time.
Uaconcioudy theiustruiix ■ t play

new melody struck hi* fancy.

by no uu-iniis ms ii ■ • experience
he was no long in getting it into
proper si), pe.
It was t ertainly a happy inspi
ration ior Mr Scanlon i Ins
melody alone has nelled him
$06,000 in royalties, and still
brings in a comfortable income,
as he receives six cents on each
copy sold. It has, with his enor
mous other compositions, made
him a fortune, in striking contrast
with such writers as poor Steph
en Foster and John Howard
Payne, whoso beat woik served only
to enrich tloo publishers who were eo

How She Eudured Dissipation.
An observant and thinking
Washingtonian, sayi the Detroit
Free Press, while on the subject of
the hard work which society wom
en at the capitol are compelled to
undergo, fella a story of a debut
ante that is worth a re-recital in
the Detroit Free Press There
was a pretty girl, Mias X , just
the girl for Washington to kill off
in one season. Her mother knew
it, and it waa that mother’s knowl
edge and devotion that saved tbe
girl. The mother watched her
darling Chloe all winter with the
faithful constancy of a pious nurse
in the case of a helpless patient.
She sent another (and an elder)
member ol the family into society
with her, aud she (her mother)
staid at home aud did heavy work.
She kepi everybody still and com
pelled favorable aud soothing con
ditions, so that her precious charge
could sleep still. Then she lifted
her out of bed carried her to the
bath, bathed her aud never per
mitted her to make the least exer
tion iu her own behalf. She rub
bod her with dry towels, clothed
her, fed her with nourishing food,
and iu the afternoon made the
grand rounds as her escort At
5 o’clock she brought her charge
homo, fed her and put her careful
ly to bed. An hour before the
time of setting out for the night's
whirl she gave her another bath
and prepared her for the conflict.
She kept that girl going by costant
ly grooming her with exactly the
same care that a professional pu
gilst’s trainer bestowes upon his
charge before a fight, or that a
jockey gives a race horse; and in
the spring, wtien everybody qlse
was jaded out aud sick and ready
to drop, Chloe was as spry as a
cricket, and she captured the
best catch ot the season.
