VOLCANO OF THE SALT LAKE-A correspondent
OIL the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser gives the fol-
lowing description OF volcano in the vie ity of the
great Salt l. axe:
This volcano is pla in of mud and on the borders
OF the lake 1t Is composed Of mud aud covers several
acres. Steam and water are escaping from someh halt
dozen apertures The mud is raised up into cones the
highest not tive feet from the general surface. They
are terminated by tubes some hardened and lined with
crystals fsulphur and other substances One of the
cones throws steam and water or fifteen feet into the
air. 1t escapes rapidly, and with sound resembling
the escape oiseam from the pipe OF small steam en-
glne and eecs hot and cold water short intervals
One cadron some four feet across, bols until it over
flows, then sinks several feet and again overffows-
Nothing is seen but offoam the water is strong
ly impre gnated with sal ammonia.
There other cadrons, from ten to twenty feet in
diameter, lled TO within three four feet with boiling
mud, which occasionally thrown oat in every dree-
ton. About mile further off is another collection of
mud cones, and on the opposite side an island of vol
canc rocks rises to the height of fifty feet at the foot of
Is salt in Sheets strongly mpregnated with sa am
mona hat trem hcslake is pure and is usedby the Cal
lodges covered with punice, and met with it in va
rious other place on the plains
J. believe we were the first 1ehite men who had ever
visited the place. and we had great difficulty ia persua-
ding the Indians to guide TO it, They have legend
that when you approach il, il commences hallooing
and il you go nearer birds resembling vutures or buzz
yards rise out OF it. and falling upon your head, are
sure to make you forfeit life for your temerity.
The mirage great that we could not see Salt
Lake distinctly. The mud was very soft, and owing
to the condtlon OF our horses could venture to
it. The salt in the vicinity is found in crystalized Law
ers, from the thickness OF halt an inch down 1t is in

THE MUSIC GRINDER

BY o. W. HOLMES.
You're citing on your window seat
Beneath the cloudess moon;
on hear sound that seems to wear
The semblanee of a tune,
AS if a broken fife should strive
10 drown cracked bassoon,
And nearer, nearer still, the tide
VI music seems to come
There's something like the human voice,
And something like a drum:
You sit in SPECIFICS agony,
Until your ear ls numb.
Poor "Home sweet home" should seem 10 be-
A very dismal place;
You" Acquaintance" all at once,
ls altered in the face;
Their discords sting through Burns and Moore
Like heGgehogs dressedin lace
You think they are crusaders, sent
~, From someinfernal cline,
40 pluck the eyes of Sentiment,
And dock the tail of Rhyme;
10 crack the voice OF Melody,
And break the legs Of Time
But bark, the air again is still
The music all is ground,
And silence like poutice comes
10 heal the blows of sound;
1t cant bet is-it is
A hat is going round!
No. Pay the dentist when he leaves
A fracture in your jaw,
And pay the owner OF the bear
That stunned you with his paw.
And by the lobster that has had
Your knuckles in his claw
but II you are portly man.
Put on your fercest frown,
And talk about a constable
10 turn them out of town;
Then close your sentence with an osth.
And shut the window down,
And it you are slender man,
Not big enough for that,
Or1t you cannot make speech,
Because you are q flat,
Go very quietly and drop
A button in the hiatt
