THIRD DAY.
The crowd Of Wednesday was much incTeas-

PREMIUMS on CATTLE-sHoRTHoRNs
The best cattle raisers in the State who were
present were attracted to the pond where they
were being examined. A large proportion Of
the l25 entries were present, and persons ac-
customed to and competent to Judge of stock,
pronounced 1t a very superior collection. All
present seemed to concur in the opinion that
this collection, representing the improved cattle
of the State, certainly indicates a rapid improve
mont upon the past.

A PICTURE OF MAHoMET.-The follow.
ing is pen portrnit of the famous founder
Of Mehammsdauism
Slightly above the middle size. his fg-
ure, though square was commanding, the
chest broad and open, the bones and frame
work large, the joints we'll knit together.
His neck was long and finely moulded.
The head, unusually large, gave space for
q broad and noble brow. The hair, thick,
jet black, and slightly curling, tell down
over his ears the eye brows were arched
and joined The countenance thin but
ruddy. His large eyes, intensely black
and piercing, received additional lustre
from their dark eye .lashes The nose was
high and slightly squiline, but fine, and
at the end attenuated The teeth were
far apart. A long black bushy beard,
reaching to the breast, added manliness
and presence. His expression was pen.
sive and contemplativs. The face beamed
with intelligence, though something Of the
sepsuous also might be there discerned.
The skin Of his body was clear and soft.
His broad bask leaned slightly forward as
be walked; and his step was hasty, yet
sharp and decided, like that of one rapidly
descending declivity. There was some
thing unsettled in his blood shot oye, which
refused to rest upon its objsct.--Whsn he
turned toward you, it was never partially
but with the whole body. iSarraaa.s

%, The first view Of the Salt Lake VAL
leyis thus pleasingly described by the
Times correspondent ="
Descending the Big Mountain, whose
summit was enyeloped in clouds, we
struck into Emigration Canon, by which
opening, at last, we passed the last spire
of the Washington range! And now
burst upon our view. A. We came upon the
high bench overlooking the Valley Of
Great Salt Lake, one Of the most enchant-
ing landscapes. For days we had been
imprisoned among the mountains, whose
rugged grandeur and sublimity had almost
become tiresome. Suddenly, as we e,nsrg-
ed from the fastnesses, the great valley
lay out before US, with its teeming fields
Of grain. and other quiet evidences of re.
fined civilization. The change is sudden
and striking, forcing the most practical
mind 10 the observation of contrasts which,
under other circumstances, would be no.
ticed only by the artist.
Great Salt Lake City certainly possess.
cs a charming location. It's site is di.
rectly under the mountains, which come
down in very steep ridges TO great bench
of plateau, overlooking the bottom of the
valley. Indeed the city, which sits upon
this shopping bench, comes to within
mile or two of the mountains base, where
Emigration Canon opens upen the plain,
while the northeastern corner of the set
tement is scarcely quarter of mile
from the cliffs. The traveller coming out
of Emigration Canon first looks down up.
on the broad street of Great Salt Lake
some twenty or thirty miles distant, al.
though it appears to be not more than
quarter of that distance. As he rides on
little further, the City itself, with its
neat buildings, luxuriant shade-trees, and
teeming gardens gradually appear, until
at last the whole city lays out before him
at glance. with all its streets as plainly
marked as though it were q map lying up.
on the table before him. On the bosom
of the distant lake rests great island.
from which rises another mountain, lofty
almost as those which we have just passed;
while to the nothward and southwark, the
valley spreads out far as the eye can
reach, without hill to obstruct the view.

centre Of the valley. the Jordan courses

CuBA.-The fertility fthe soil Of Cuba
ID well known The labor of cultivation
is small, and the profits well nigh fabulous,
1t is said that some planters, who have
several estates, have an income of eight
hundred thousand Or milan of dollars
annually. On new ground, sugar which
in Louisiana requires to be planted once
in three years, will produce its annual
crop for nine or ten years, so that the
planter has nothing to do but reap the
harvest every year. But Notwithstanding
these extraordinary inducements to culti-
yate the soil, by far the larger portion of
the island is yet wilderness. A pub
lished statement gives only one-twentieth
part Of it as under cultivation. Some part
of the residue is mountainous and until.
liable, but very considerable portion is af
fertile as that which yields SO ienormouSa

In addifionto the sources Of agricul-
,turai wealth, there are rich copper and
coal mines, apd tie forests abound with
mahogany cedar and other choice woods.
There are soths serious drawbacks to
residence on the island, however, the prin-
cipal of which are the enorvating climate
and the yellow fever. A minor but by no
means despieaHs tetilois the hmusquitos,
whose sting is very poisonous to strangers
producing al high degree Of inflammation.
The hands, wrists and ankles swell mp and
suppurate, making great sores. which leave
pits almost as deep As those of the small
pox, and much larger. After residence
of two years, however, iths sting is scarcely
felt. and the poison produces, little or no
effect. This has been accounted for by
the idea that the enervating climate rem
ders the blood SO thin and poor that it is
no longer capable of the same degree of
inflammation. - Boston yourad2! ia7d3'7o .

--OsrRAcnEs.-The garden Of the Ham
ma, at Algiers, possessed two years ago
four ostraches, which were the object of
considerable attra ctien on account of the
ravenous manner in which they deveured
the cakes and other articles of food offered
them. The number has since then in.
creased to fourteen. In 1881 a first at
tempt at Matching produced only one
young one. The second attempt produced
nine, from twelve eggs laid. Another is
now sitting, and the result j. looked for
with considerable interest. The result OBJ.

forts of the director Of tho establishment,

come a regular inhabitant Of tile poultry

the breeding of ostriches are not to be de-
spised In the first place, single female
will give thirty kilogrammes ofeggs; next,
the feathers. are every day becoming more
and more scarce in the market and, lastly
the flesh, by the bird being brought into
domestic state, would become good food.

lowing sagacious predictions are made for
the year 1858;
Through the whole course of the year,
whenever the moon wanes the nights will
grow dark
On several occasions during the year,
the sun will rise before certain people dis
cover it, and set before they have finished
their days work. .,.
1t is quite likely that when there is no
business doing many will be heard to CON-
plain Of hard times, but it is equally GER
tain that all who hang themselves will es-
cape starvation, d .rs ..I
IF bustlss and hoops 90 out Of fashion

ladies'. r-I on ..r~r- -...g
If dandies wear their boards there will
be less work for the BARRIERS, and he who
wears moustaehes will have something to
sneeze at. ....s
There will be many eclipses Of virtue,
some visible, and others invisible. ..
Whosoever is in love will think his mis-
tress perfect angel, and will only find
out the truth by getting married
Many delicate ladies whom no one
would suspect, will beakissed without tel
ling their mas. nj eui) le,a .J
There will be more books published than
will find purchasers, and more bills made
than will fud payers.
iaIf an incnmbent Of fat office should

step into one pair of shoes. -s-- .-. .i
e Ifa young lady should happen to blush
she would be apt to look red in the face,
without the use of paint if she dreams
Of a young man three nights in succession
it will be sign of something if she
dreams of him four times, or has the tooth
ache, it is ten to one she will be long
time in getting either Of them out of her
head. 8uli fr- irt
Dinners and entertainments will be
given to those who have plenty to eat at
homss;p and the poor will receive much
advice gratis, legal and medical excep-
ted.
He who marries this year will run
risk, especially if be does it in great
hurry.
He who steals a watch gives tattlers
occasion to gossip, and will be apt to in
vole himself and pride in disagreeable re-
lations.
Many young ladies who hope for it, but
hardly expect it, will be married, and
many who confidently anticipate the
glorious consumation will be doomed to
wait another year.
Finally, there exists little doubt that
this will be most wonderful year, sur
passing in interest any that have preceded
1t.
The world will 60 round as usual, and
come back to the place whence it set out
as will many man who engages in bu.
siness.
There will be great cry and little
wool both at the shearing of pigs and
during the sessions of Congress.
