It is not often the President invites company to his private houses.”’ I went back to the Townsend House and found Governor Stanford gloomy and _taciturn. I recounted’ to him my interview with Brigham Young and his face relaxed. . ‘‘That’s splendid, Henry’ said he, “If you can accomplish what I have so nearly failed to do, enlist Brigham’s interest on our side, you will have done a big work.” I told him of the invitation to tea t hat evening. He said, ‘‘Drive home the arguments. Promise anything if he will furnish me labor to meet the Union at Ogden, then ask anything of me you want.’’ That evening in private association with the President and the Mrs. Amelia and Mrs. Bigelow Young, I exerted myself on behalf of the Central Pacific, and as we parted after the theatre at which we witnessed the creditable performance of Mormon amateurs from Brigham’s private box, the President said: “If you should happen td meet Governor Stanford, please tell him I shall be happy to see him tomorrow morning at nine at my office.’’ I hastened back to the Townsend House, found the governor and told him what I thought ‘‘good news.” At dinner next day, the governor slapped me on the _ SPIRELLA e Foundations All kinds Measured Individually by Trained and Experienced Corsetiere.

After several days fishing in the wonderful streams that flow from the Wasatch Range into Provo Lake, with Fred Walker enjoying the company of Stenhouse, editor of the Salt Lake Herald, and many others of the higher class of Mormon gentlemen, one morning I noticed a black cloud coming rapidly down from Salt Lake before a strong north wind.
