the villages, the harvest operations have
been suspended for want of hands, sixty
or seventy persons having been taken Ill

out first in one place and then in anoth.

increased violence. The ports of Rostocb

WHY SALT LAKE IS So SALT.-Greely
writes from the centre Of Mormondom, as
20 the cause Of the sadness Of Salt.Lake.
thus
What this lake should be salt is no
anomaly. All large bodies of water into
which streams discharge themselves,
while they have severally no outlet, are
or should be salt. If one such is fresh,
that is an anomaly indeed. Lake Utah
probably receives as much saline matter
as Salt Lake; but she discharges IL
through the Jordan and remains herself
fresh; while Salt Lake, having no issue
save by evaporation, is probably the salt
est body Of water on the earth. The
ocean is comparatively fresh; even the
Mediterranean at Leghorn is not half sc
salt 1 am told three barrels Of this
water yield barrel of salt; that seem:
rather strong, yet it's intense sadness, No
one who has not had it in his eyes, his
mouth, bis nostrils, can realize. You car
no more sink in it than in clay-bank
but very little of it in your lungs would
suffice to strangle you. You make youl
way in from hot, rocky beach over .
chaos Of volcanic basalt that is trying t
the feet; but at depth ola yard or more
you have fine sand bottom, and her,
the bathing is delightful. The water j
