SrRESGTH OF THE MoRMoNs.-yarir

STRENGTH OF THE MoRMoNs.-F Farious
calculations have been going the rounds
of the papers of late as to the estimated
number Of the Mormons in Utah, and
the armed force which they could posi-
bly, bring into the field against the L. S.
troops. Hitherto the estimates seem to
have been greatly exaggerated. The
Sacramento Union gives some figures on
the subject, which undoubtedly approx
mates closely to the truth. According
to the U. S. census of 1859, the whole
Mormon population, men, women and
children, amounted to IL, 1886. In 1853,
faom the minutes of the Mormon Gener-
al Conference, it appears that the popu-
latiou had increased 6,85l, making the
total 10, 206. Taking the same ratio of
increase, say 5000, we have the whole
Mormon population 22,4l2. Deduct
from this amount one-half Of the women,
the same proportion that existed in 1853,
and there remain 1900 fighting men,
including the somewhat advanced in
years. This probably the whole fight
ing strength of the Mormons.

Interesting to Free Masons.


First word on new discovery. Why
is it that the present century is so far in
ferior to the centuries of the dark ages I?
For long time it has been an opinion
that the singular harmony which reigns
in the proportions of the architectural
monuments of that age was not the re-
suit of mere accident, and that there
must have been some mathematical secret
unknown to the present age. This secret,
German, Mr.. Hanzlo4aaa, has found
1t was seeretmhiel&tr-enged to anti
quitv as well as to The Greek and Roman
epochs. 1t presided as well at the con-
struction of Solomon's temple, as at the
Parthenons of Rome and Athens The
The discovery of Mr.. Hanzleman was
the result of study With his plumb
line, square and compass he travelled
through Germany, Italy, France and
England, measuring and calculating, and
finding in all the structures of the differ
ent ages of the past the same harmonious
lines. He has demonstrated beyond
contradiction, the correlation of the Greek
with the middle age architecture.
The secret which was the property of
the Brother Masons Free Masons of the
present day, from the time of the build
ing of Solomon's Temple down 10 the
fifteenth, perhaps even to the sixteenth
century, was at last lost by them, and the
sublime art of architecture entered it's
age of decadence. The Greeks and He
brews took great pains to keep this secret.
Pythagoras in Greece, and Moses, David
and Solomon among the Israelites, were
of It's number of possessors. The Free
Masons were undoubtedly the heirs of
the art of Hiram, the great architect, but
unfortunately they have lost it. In the
Parlipomenes We see David is giving to
his sons the plans and descriptions which
he had received from God, to raise to
him temple at Jerusalem; and in the
proportions and forms indicated by the
different books Of the Bible, we trace the
elements of the harmonious system re-
cognized by Mr.. Hanzlemann.
The discovery of the German archi-
tect has excited so much interest in
France. tifat Mr.. L. Teaois-s an architect
Of this city has made a report on the sub
Ject to the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion and Worship This gentleman not

THE celebrated German sculptor,
Rauch, recently died at Dresden at the
age OF 80 years. His parents were poor,
and he was servant OF Queen Louisa Of
Prussia. While thus engaged. the Queen
noticed that The butter served on her table
was beautifully and tastefully designed.
and that the models varied almost daily.
Her curiosity was excited to know who
did 1t, ana having learned that it was
Rauch, she educated. and afterwards sent
him TO Rome to finish his studies. He

tors in Earope. A his funeral all the

EXODUS CoLoNY.-A large number of
families from Ware, Mass. have united
and made arrangements to purchase lands
in Jones county, at place called Sand
Spring, where they intend forming a coll
ony with the above name. Sand Spring
is situated near the Dubuque Western
Railroad, and not far from Bowen's Prai-
rie, one of most beautiful locations in the
West. This colony is composed of the
right kind of settlers, who will bring
with them degree of industry and good
morals, which will be desirable acqui-
sition to the neighborhood in which they
settle. The Emigrant Association col
lected information for the agents Of this
colony, and several of our citizens aided
them in the selection of suitable lands.
The purchase about to be made consists
Of town plat. timber and prairie land,
and a mill site. Additional purchases
viii be made in the neighborhood as soon

Duke of Devonshire:
"The domain of the Duke of Devon
shire would cover one of our largest
counties. The park Immediately sur
rounding the palace is eleven miles in
circumference, and contains 5000 acres.
The principal garden for vegetables,
fruits, greenhouses, DC, is twenty five
acres. There are thirty greenhouses,
each from fifty to seventy-fyc feet long.
We went into three or four containing
nothing but pineapples, ripe others con
tain nothing but melons and cucumbers.

ed ffty-one feet in width and fifteen feet
high, and bears one thousand peaches
1t is the largest in the world. The grape

long-and such grapes We saw pine

each. One greenhouse had only figs,
another only mushrooms. But what

It is one Of the wonders of the world Il
covers an acre Of ground, is 100 feet high,
OF oval shape, and cost s5oo,oo0. Ii is
heated by steam and hot water pipes,
which in all are 6 miles in length. The
apparatus consumes six hundred tons OF
coal in year. We saw banana trees 90
feet high, with clusters of fruit, sugar
cane, coffee trees, bamboo, and, in short,
every tropical plant that can be named.
Several of the palm trees are from fifty
to sixty feet high. The smoke of the
immense fire underneath is carried in
pipes underground to an outlet in the
woods. The coal is brought in tunnel
600 yards underground. One fountain
throws a jet of water to the height Of two

THOSE WE LOVE.
BY ELIZA COOK.

We leave our own-our father-land,
To lead the wanderers fearful life
On stormy seas or desert sand,
In pilgrim peace or busy strife;
But there's q hope to save and cheer
Through all Of danger, toll and pain;
1t shines to dry the starting tear.
And lights the pathway back again
To those We love.
Let others give us gems and gold.
With gems and gold we'd lightly part
We take them, but We do not hold
The treasures sacred in the heart.
Such costly boons may have the power
To win our thanks and wake our pride;
But dearer is the withered flower
That has been worn and thrown aside
BY those we love.
We pine beneath the regal dome,
We prize not all that's rich and fair;
We cannot rest in princely home,
If those We cherish dwell not there.
But let the spiri. choose its lot,
We'd rather take take the rovcr's tent.
Or gladly share the PEASANTS cot,
And bless the flying moments spent
With those we love.
And when at last the hand of death
Has dimmcd the glance and chilled the
breast,
When trembling word and heeting breath
Dwell on the name We like the best -
Fen then, however keen the thrue,
'Tis easy for ourselves to die;
The deepest anguish is to know
That grief will wiring the mourner's sigh
From those We love.

TASTES DIFFER.-In a lecture on what
he has seen abroad, Wendell Phillips OBJ
serves
In Italy you will see man breaking
up his land with two cows and the root
Of tree for plow, while be is dressed
in skins with the hair on. In Rome, Vi
emma and Dresden, if You hire man to
saw wood, he does not bring horse
along. He never had one, nor his father
before him. He puts one end of the saw
on the ground and the other against his
breast, and, taking the wood in his hand,
rubs it against the saw. 1t is solemn
fact, that in Florence, a city filed with
the triumph of art, there is not single
auger, and if a carpenter would bore Il
hole, he does it with a red hot poker i
This results not from the want of indus
try, but of sagacity of thought. The peo-
pie are by no means idle. They toll early
and late, men, women, and children, with
an industry that shames labor saving
Yankees. Thus he makes labor, that
the poor must live. In Rome, charcoal
is principally used for fuel, and you will
see string of twenty mules, bringing
little sacks of it upon their backs, when
one mule could draw all of it in a cart
But the charcoal vender never had a cart,
and SO he keeps his mules and feeds
them. This is from no want Of industry
but there is no competition.
A Yankee always looks haggard and
nervous, as though he were chasing a
dollar. With us money is everything i;
and when we go abroad, We arc surprised
to find that the dollar has ceased to be
almighty. If Yankee refuses to do a
job for fifty cents, he will probably do it
for a dollar, and will certainly do it for
five. But one of the lazzaroni of Naples,
when he has earned two cents, and eaten
them, will work no more that day, if You
offer him ever SO large sum. He has
earned enough for the day, and wants no
more. So there is no eagerness for max
ing money, no motive for it, and every
body moves slowly

BRoADEsT AT THE BAsE.-Young men,
one of The first things you ought to con-
slider is how to build up q character
Allow us TO tell You one fact about it,
which We have learned from observation :
1t must be built like pyramid to be firm
and lasting-broad at the base Then
the fountation must be good, or oven a
pyramid would crack aal fall to pieces.
Get reputation from early boyhood, for
truth, honesty, industry, obedience to
parents and teachers, and above all. mo-
rality By-and-by your characters will be
as firm as pyramid host of calumnia-
tors could not overthrow it. But ifyouth
and early life is bad, to build character
on such a beginning, would almost be as
difficult as to build andpoise pyramid
on It's own apex.
