MRS. JOE SMITH. An Interview with the Widow of the Noted Mormon Leader. fLippinott's Magazine. ] Meny people believe that the man in wlose crafty mind the mighty system of Mormonism had its origin, was also the husband of at least three wives, and in collec uence pother- n-daw.

Soon after that a colony of French socialist: had taken of their homes: but the widow of Jose) Bmitn. wiio was now Mrs. Biddison, still lived in the h had occupied when her first husband was killed. Mrs, Bid dison was the hostess of the Nauvoo Arms, the only hot: in the town, and she had occupied the same position during the days when Nauvoo was the headquarters of Mormondom. She was about 45 years old, of medium height, and rather stout, but quick and active in her movements, Her complex- jon was clear, though somewhat sun burnt. Her features were good and reg- USE Ki ular, her eyes very black and piercing, | and her hair of the same color, slightly turned to gray. She had married Joseph Smith in the state of New York, some | years Lefore he announced his discovery | of the Mormon Bible. She accompanied her husband in all his subsequent move- ments, and they had three children— | two boy: and one girl. Mrs. Biddison acquired a good deal of property in Nauvoo during the lifetime of her first husband, and, as she had never been a church, she did not leave the town after his death, Mrs. Biddison expressed herself very freely and openly about the members of the Mormon church, and spoke in a econ temptuous manner of their profession of faith. After dinner Mrs. Biddison conducted us through the house, and showed us the portrait of Joseph Smith, painted by one of the most skiliful artists in Europe It reprerented him as a commonplaces, ordinary person, and we found it hard to believe that such a man could have a quired absolute power over a large Lody of peaple. y companion had boldness to mention to Mrs, Biddison the report that Joseph Smith had the example of polygainy. The mere mention a ruCor made her very indignant, “No, si she exclaimed. Joe Smith had bat on wife, and I was that one.
