ANTHONY TROLLOPE AND BRGHAM YOUNG.
Ik his autobiography, Anthony Trollope tells this story ot travel: —" —I came Home aoross America from San Franoisco to New York, visiting Utah and Brigham Young on the way. I did not achieve great intimacy with the great polygamist of the Salt Lake City. I called upon him, sending to him my card, apologising for doing so with out an introduction, and exouaing myself by saying that I did not like to pass through the territory without seeing a man of whom I had heard so much. He reoeived me in his doorway, not asking me to enter, and inquired whether I wore not a miner. When I told him that I was not a miner, he asked me whether 7. earned my breed. I told him I did. ',1 guess you're a miner,' said he. I again assured him that I was not. ' Then how do you' earn your bread ? 1 told him that I did so by writing books. I'm sure your a miner,' said he. Then he turned upon his heel, .went back into the house, and closed tho door. I was properly punished, as I was vain enough to conceive that he would have heard my name."
