Edgar A. Tsee--Eoyv it Happened

Edgar Al. EGe1.EEGvT 1t happened
DR.. Maudesley, an English physician,
has written an article in the Journal ct Med
icine on Edgar A. Poe. The writer pro-
ceeds to show why Poe's sins were partly
forced upon him by temperament inherited
from his parcnfs-one an actress Of brillian-
cy, beauty and passion, and the other an
English law student equally passionate and
reckless, who had sacrificed his hopes OF
"respeeta bility" by inddlgfng in matrimony
with the said actress. Of the marriage Of
David Poe, Dr.. Maudasley says a pretty
thing, as follows:
$50 David Poe, deficient Of decency, bade
farewell to law, Of which he had been stu
dent, along with responsibility, and with
Elizabeth Arnold, the beautiful actress, went
forth into tho wide world On the whole,
the wide world cannot be said to be very
suitable place for man to enter upon who
had given upa respectable routine for a
beautiful actress, if he wants to do anything
but to die therein. Oh, it vas pltiful. 1t

are not the sins Of the father visited upon
the children unto the third and fourth gen.
Grafton? We grieve for the transaction,
vet we cannot we'll regret it, for had
not things so happened, there would have
been for us No Edgar Poe. no Raven, and
no Lenore Strange, and the observation
is very trite, how far back lies the origin Of
anything In this world The thing done
remains in action forever. One cannot help
thinking of the young lawyer sitting with
enl aptured countenance in the pit Of the
theatre, absorbed in the enchanting actress
upon whom every one Of the multitude pres
ent was absorbed in admiration-for she was
great favorite-who should have pointed
to that face, and have said, that in the sym
pathetic and admiring glance which beamed
ttherefrom towards that actress, lay the germ
of things which were to occupy the worlds

Edgar Poe, his poetry, and the amazcment
Of mankind at his strange, lurid, irregular
existence, nay, that glance is also actually
accountable for this present waste ofink and

racter Of Salt Lake

A writer from Utah Territory gives the
following description of the waters of the
Great Salt Lake,i Utah. We met in 1857
in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Frenehman
named Leroux, who had been living in New
Mexico, and within the range Of the Rocky
Mountains, ever since 1927. Before white
man ever dreamed Of Salt Lake, or the
progressive steps of civilization had pene-
trated into those barren, volcanic-erupted
regions, he had trapped beaver and hunted
game living. with such men as Carson, a
life of exposure, daring and adventure.
He has told us that there is near the centre
of this curious Lake, mountain of salt, and
that he has more than once cut out Jumps
as large as man. The description he gave
us of the water was the same as that given
below. In those days the frontiersman
seemed to have no difficulty with the Indi-
ans which range in that Territory. -Four
or five whites could commingle with as many
hundred Indians, and the only condition Of
peace and good feeling was few valueless
trinkets. Now, since the arm Of American
civilization has been stretched out and
brought them under its jurisdiction, they
must be fed and clothed literally, or the
forfeit will be the blood Of our citizens.
MIR. Leroux is one Of the most expert and
successful mountaineers on the American
Continent, the superior of Carson, both in
experience, education and intelligence, not
withstanding Fremont has given Carson a
worldwide reputation. We shall, at a
leisure hour, give chapter or two on New
Mexico and her people-the usages and pc
culiarities OF that remarkable country. 10
the meantime, let the reader peruse the
following truthful description Of the waters
of Salt Lake:
''That this lake should be all salt is no
anomaly. All large bodies of water into
which streams discharge themselves. while
they have severally no outlet,a or should
be, salt If one such is fresh, that is an
anomaly indeed. Lake Utah probably re-
ceives 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 evaporation, is proba-
bly, the saltiest body Of water on the earth.
The ocean is comparatively fresh; even the
Mediterranean at Leghorn is not half SO
salt I am told that three barrels of this
water yield barrel Of salt. That seems
rather strong, yet its intense saltiness nc
one who has not had it in his eyes, his nos
trils and mouth, can realize. You can nc
more sink in it than in bank Of clay; but
very little of it in your lungs would suffice
to strange you. You make your way in
from hot, rocky beach, over chaos of vol
canic basalt that is trying to the feet, but
at the depth Of yard or more you have a
fine bottom, and here the bathing is delight
full The water is of a light, green color
for about ten or twenty rods, then deeply,
beautifully blue" No fish can live in it,no
frogs can abide in it; and few birds are ever
seen dipping in it"
