TIE line of The Great Salt Lske was gltterng along
the western horizon. The transition was so sud

We ,purred our ponies down the long slope, those
of the company who had lived in the city poiltiog
out the prominent buildings as we galloped along
the timed eupols Of the Court-House, the mansion
and the Zion House of Brigham Young, the Tenn
pie square, ard the Arsenal. All down the valley
on each side of the great southern road were broad
fields of grain, to which the showers bad impaired
81 additional greer. Through the plain We could
trace the windipgs Of the Jordan by the glitter Of
the sunlight on its bends. As We rode through the
streets hardly soul was visible. At last we saw
group of half naked Indian boys padding in one Of
the ,vulets which run along the cutters. The city
is deserted.
