observes: Fit be granted-and see

sequences that have been deduced from
it do no. necessarily follow. l mean
that these cards were the first that
were made. OF that Gringonncur was the

Foolscap Paper-It is said that this
designation is derived from the fact that
Charles 1. granted to certain parties the
monopoly of the manufacture of paper,
which at that time always bore in water
marks the royal arms. Parliament, un-
der Cromwell, made jests of this in every
conceivable manner, and ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the
paper, and the FOOLS cap and bells sub
stituted. These were also removed
when the Rump Parliament was pro-
rogucd, but paper of the size of the
Parliament journal still bears the name
of ''foolscap."

SALT LAKE AS SEEN BY SACRA-

is now at Salt Lake, writes to friend
In this city, under date Of December 2Otn
as follows;
After passing, perhaps, through doz-
en- very respectable towns on the road,
l arrived in Great Salt Lake City. 1t is
a beautiful place. The houses have
the appearance of having been painted
lead color; although they are built of
adobies, they look like brick and are
very neat. The most of them have
beautiful yards and gardens attached,
and considerable attention has been
paid to the planting of fruit and other
trees. which adds much to the beauty of
the place. The city covers, perhaps,
some two or three miles square, with
buildings on every lot. The streets arc
very wide, and run at right angles
Among the buildings there are some
that will vie with any that you have,
either at Sacramento or San Francisco.
The conviction forces itself upon me
that. if this people is only let alone for
few years longer, they will astonish
the world with their wealth and magnif-
cence, for they are the most industrious
and enterprising people on the globe.
Whatever else the world may say OF
them, they certainly cannot charge
them with being an indolent people.
