Salt Lake CITY.

Kirk Anderson, writing 10 the Missouri
ffepabticon of late date from Salt Lake City,
gives of it the following description
After scaling mountains and threading
desert valleys on journey of twelve hun
dred miles. was certsinly astonished and
gratifled in emerging from canon to find,
spread out before me, a lovely plain and val
ley aHd beautiful city In the distance,
bearing all the evidences of industry, COM
tort and wealth. "A plain, vast in extent
and fenced In by mountains, dotted with
farms, interspersed with lakes rejecting
back their silver light in the sunshine, form
ing strange contrast with the frowning
hills whose darkened brows looked angrily
upon their smiling bosoms. Entering the
city, L was instantly impressed with the
taste displayed in all its arrangements. The
streets are very wide the houses. made of
adobe,-a species of brick made from the
soil here, much larger than the ordinary
brick, and very durable-were tasty and
comfortable. and in many instances elegant,
surrounded by large yards and gardens in a
high state of cultivation; rows of trees
planted on each side of the different streets,
stretching along for miles rivulets of clear,
sparkling water, running and bubbling in
every direction through street and avenue );
public squares, radiant with foliage, inter-
spersed with miniature lakes and rivers-all
combine to leave most pleasing impression
upon the mind, and make one feel that he
was indeed in the abode of civilization and
luxury-like one of those dissolying views
where some rough and rugged scene. sug
gestiye of wildness and desolatiou, sudden
ly. as if by magic, changes its form and is
dissipated, giving place to one of bright
and brilliant colors.
The population of Salt Lake City is about
twelve or fifteen thousand, and the popula-
ton of the valley is variously estimated,
but is probably fifty thousand.
The presence of the army, the throng of
persons coming in from almost numberless
trains, has almost, so far as the eye can de-
teet, dissipated that exclusiveness which
formerly attached to the social economy of
this valley. The Gentle, with that freedom
of manner which is ever characteristic of
the American citizen, traVerses the streets
and valley untrammeled, and conscious of
his rights; like Rob Roy, he breathes and
feels that his "foot is upon his native heath
upon his own territory"

An Incident of the Epidemic.

A touching case was presented recently
to the consideration and charity of one oi
the good Samaritans who now take care OF
the sick, relieve the destitute, and feed the
starving. A boy wass discovered in the
morning lying in the grass of Claiborne
street, evidently bright and intelligent, but
sick. A man who has the feelings of kind
ness strongly developed went to aim, shook
him by the shoulder, and asked him what
he was doiRg there. Waiting for God to
come for me- said he. s'What do you
mean?" said the gentleman, touched by the
pathetic tone of the answer and the condi-
tion of the boy. in whose eye and flushed
face he saw the evidences Of the fever
'sGod sent for mother, and father, and little
brother,' said he, ssand took them up to
His home, up in the sky; and mother told
me, when she was sick, that God would
take care of me. l have no home. nobody
to give me anything, and so came out
here, and have been looking SO long up in
the sky for God to come and take care of
me, as mother said he would. He will
come, won't he? Mother never told me a
lie. y Eyes, my lad" said the man, over
come with emotion, che has sent me to take
care of you You should have seen his
eyes fash, and the smile of triumph break
over his face, as he said, ''Mother never
told me lie, sir; but you've been so long
on the way. ~ o. Delta.

Now, gentlemen, I have most melan-

I suspect l shall survive it. (Renewed
laughter.) I have no doubt shall survive
it. But it was terrible blow. do not
think ever two cents created so much havoc

ceived from the Federal Administration
which will be about $3.50 in payment for

New Method of Computing Interest

I've" IAGtnOo VI OO1n 4ASCACoG'
The following rule for finding the interest
on any sum at 6 per cent. for any number
of days, is not laid down in any of the
books, so far as we are aware, nor do we
know that it has ever been published. 1t
has been in our possession several years,
and believing it to be shorter and more SIM
pie than most others, as well as perfectly
correct, we publish it for the benefit of our
readers. To find the interest on any num-
Der of dollars, separate the right hand ig-
ure by point. The figures on the left hand
of this separating point will be the interest
in cents for six days, the figure on the right
of the point decimals of cent. Multiply
the whole amount by five to find the inter
est for thirty days. and this sum by two for
sixty days. three for ninety days, DE. For
any number of days less than six, take the
fractional part of the interest for six. Care
must be taken to separate the right hand
figure of the dollars. whether there be cents
and mills in the given sum or not.

his wife. The man said he had The agent
