SALT LAKE MA1Ls-One of the best things yet
done by the administration of President Buchanan
has just come to light in Western paner It appears
that the postmaster at Independence, Mo-. has re-
ceived an official notice from the Postmaster-General
that the contract for carrying the mails from thence
to Salt Lake has been set asde and be Is therefore
ordered to withhold the mails until further orders
This is done by virtue Of right always reserved
by the department to rescind mail contracts on CIV
ing due notice and one mouths pay to contractors:
In this the contract was taken by company of
Mormons at Salt Lake City, who have already made
several trips under it. .. ....4- law. lal.
So general were the complaints of the mails hav-
ing been violated and letters opened, especially the
correspondence of the government officials, that it
became quite evident these Mormon contractors
mere tools of Brigham Young. The Administration
has also taken another step toward nsuring the faith
ful performance of the mail seryicein Utah.
A postmaster had, it seems, been appointed for
Salt Lake City, who was not Mormon His COM
mission was forwarded to him, but never reached its
destination and duplicate copies failed likewise. In
fact, he W is not recognised by Brigham Young. He
has now received his commission in person at Wash
ngon, together with fuinstructons to his course,
and will be sent out supported by protecting mill
tarY force.

FLESH EATING AND VEGETABLE EATNG-To con-
slider man anatomically, he is decidedly vegetable
eating animal He is constructed like no flesh eating
animal, but like all vegetable eating animals He has
not any claws like the on tiger or the cat but
his teeth short and smooth like those of the horse
cow and the fruit eating animals nSahis hand is
evidently intended to pluck the fkylit 10 seize his
fellow animals. What animal doeS nan most resemble

mails. Doves and sheep by being fed on animal food,
(and they may be, as has been fully proved) will
come to refuse their natural food thus it has been
with man. On the contrary, even cats may be
brought up to live vegetable food go that they will
not touch any sort Of fesh and be quite vigorous and
sleek. Such cats will kill their natural prey Just as
other cats, but will refuse them as food. ssl9s t
4 Man is naturally vegetable eating animal; how
Men could he possibly be injured by abstinence from
flesh! A man, by way of experiment was made to
live entirely animal food after having persevered
ten days, symptoms of incipient putrefacton began
to manifest themselves. 77 .t + s.s,l ~4. - eI

THE GREAT CENTEE.-It is well known that Maed-
ler successor of NJ Strive in the direction of the OBJ
servatory Of Dorpat, has after profound examina-
tion to the conclusion that Alcyone the princ
pal star in the group of the Pleades, now occupies
the center of gravity and is at present the sun about
which the universe Of stars composing our astral sys
TEN are all revolving. Admitting the truth Of this
theory, it leads to some of the most astonishing
suits The known parallax of certain fixed stars
gives to approximate value of the parallax Alcy
one and reveals to the distance of the grand cen
ter. Such is the enormous interval separating the
from the central star about which it performs its
mighty revolution, that the light from Alcyone re-
And if we are to rely on the angular motion of the
and system, already determined at the end Of
1s,2O00O0 years, this great luminary, with all its
planets, satellites and comets, will have completed
one revolution around its great center. e.

GEOLOGICAL ARcHITEcTURE - Hugh Miller says
in his last great work. The Testimony of the Rocks
that there is architectural ornament of the
Gothic or Grecian styles which may not be found as
fossils existing in the rocks. The Illodendron, says
Mr. Miller, was sculptured into gracefully arranged
of pointed and lyimbricated leaves similar
to those into which the Roman architects fretted the
torus of the Corinthian order. The Sigitaria were
futed columns, ornatey carved in the line Of the
channeed flutes; the Lepidodendra bore, according
to the species sculptured scales lozenges egg
like hollows set in of Frame and relieved into
knobs and burrows all of them furnishing examples
of delicate daperwork, like that admired in
more ornate Gothic buildings, such as Westminster
greatly more exquisite in their design and finish.

SPIf.iMnde Men.

II Is the subject of frequent remark that most OF
the distinguished public men Of America were
the architects of their fortunes, and either in
q great measure selfeducated, Or if they enjoyed
the advantages of a college education, were in no
wise among the most distinguished there. Of the
multitudes of young men, who every year take the
first honors at colleges, we somehow or other,
hear very little afterwards. We make this re
mark from no desire to disparsge college educa-
tim, but it is a curious fact which we should like
to see accounted for On the other hand, under
the quickening impulse of poverty, hosts Of bright
aud energetic spirits are daily forcing their own
way into the front rank OF every department of
useful industry and enterprise, and into the most
influential public stations, without the advanta.
ges of college education.
10 Great Britain, however, the very reverse
seems to be the case. The leading men of the
Cabinet, of the House of Lords and Commons, on
the Bench, at the Bar and in the Pulpit, are now,
and long have been, men who graduated at the
Universities with high, often the highest ds,inc-
tons. Certainly, all the departments of public and
protest. ,nai life are quite as ably and efficiently
filed in Great Britain as iu America.

James Barron Hope, Esq

A volume of poems from the pen of JAMES
BARRON HOPE is spoken of in very warm terms
by those who have read the proof-sheets Some
of the poems in this collection have appeared be-
fore In magazines and newspapers, and they have
given the author Place in the front rank of Anne
rican poets. Since the days of Poe, Virginia has
produced NO bard who has made such an impression
IN the literary world as James Barron Hope His
fame has reached the mother land and one of his
poems, the Charge at Balaklava," has elected
much admiration in England. Mr.. Hope is a
grandson of the late Commodore Barron, and a
resident of Hampton in this State. He is yet In
the morning of life, ayoung man of peculiar mod
esty and winning grace of manner. We predict
for him brilliant future
