ble, a muslin handkerchief in his hand,
which he applied to the coasts of the ami

were at once subjected to due punishment
by the veteran disciplinalian. In Philadel-
phia, the stables were under the care of
German John, whose grooming of tho
white chargers was a study. The night
before the horses were to be ridden, they
were covered over with a paste made of
whiting; then they were swathed in body
cloths. and left to sleep upon clean straw
in the morning the composition had be-
come hard, and was well rubbed in, and
curried and brushed, which process gave
beautiful satin-ike gloss 10 the coats. The
hoofs were then blacked and polished, the
mouths washed and the teeth picked and
cleaned. The Leopard skin housings were
then properly adjusted, and the chargers
led out for service.

Salt Lake.-Every reader has hearo
Of Salt Lake, but very ewpersons know
ANYTHING Of it's extent and peculiar pa
ture. A writer speaks thus: That 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 DC
.alt. If one such is fresh, that is an
anomaly indeed. Lake Utah probably
receives as much saline matter as Salt
Lake. but she discharges it through the
Jordan and remains herself fresh; while
Salt Lake having no issue, save by
evaporation, is probably the safest
body Of water on earth. The ocean is
comparatively fresh; even the Medi-
terranean, at Leghorn, is not half 80
salt. I am told three barrels OF this
water yield barrel of salt that seems
rather strong, yet its intent sadness no
