CHARAo+ER AND PEoULtAKIrY OF SALT
LAKE.-Every reader has heard of Salt Lake,
but very few persons know anything of ita
extent and peculiar nature. Awriter speaks
thus:
That this lake should Be all salt is no a
nomaly. kll large Bodies Of watet into
which streams discharge themselves, while
they have severally no outlet, are. or should
be, salt. If one such is fresh, that is an o.
nomaly, 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 by evaporation, is
probably, the saltiest body of water on earth.
The ocean is comparatively fresh even the
Mediterranean, at Eeghorh, is hot half SO
salt. I am told that three barrels of this
water yield barrel of salt; that seems rath-
er strong, yet its intense saltness, no one
who has not had It in his eyes, his mouth,
or his nostrils can realize. You can nc
more sink in it than in a clay bank ), but a
very glittle in your lungs would suffice to
strsngle you. You make your way in from
a hot, rocky beach, over chaos Of volcanic
basalt that is trying to the feet, bat at the
depth of yard or more you have a fine sand
bottom, and here the bathing is delightful.
The water is Of a light green color for about
ten or twenty rods, then "deeply, darkly,
beautifully blue" No fish can live in it ;
no frogs abide in it few birds are ever seen
dipping in it,

EE Extract of letter from a gentleman

EEE Extract of letter from a gentleman
ii the interior of New York:
Democrats are waiting to learn the re-
suit at Baltimore. Shonld Douglas be nomi-
hated, he will be elected. 1t is generally
thought Here and throughout the STATED New
York; that no other man of the Democratic
tarti9 can be elected. There are some men
of the South, that, if nominated, might get
the support of the Democratic party at the
North; but no Democrat of the North can
get that support with the exception OF Doug
las. The question then arises, can any 9TH
er man, either North or South, be elected :
The fight is between the Democratic party
and the Black Republican party. Douglas
is opposed to every principle of the Black
Republican party, and is as good a friend to
the South as any man in the Union. lie
holds to the doctrine Of Americanising Cen
trail America and Mexico, and is in favor of
the acquisition of Cuba; and who would
have the greatest share of the benefit =
Would not the South ? Consequently, let
Stephen A. Douglas be nominated for the
Presidency and some man of the South be
nominated for the Vice Presidency-for in
stance, Stephens Of Georgia, or any other
good man, and we are sure of victory. This
is the only way to defeat the Black Repub-
| lican party"

AN UsnAppr sADLrR.-A singular At

of Nicholas that he determined to die. Ac-

banks Of Mill Creek, where be fastened one
end to his neck ,ahd the other to fifty pound
stone. Having waded out good distance
into the stream, carrying the stone il bis
hands, he dropped it into the water and fell
on his face hoping thatitwould hold him down

whereupon lie deliberately walked oat and

A Bull F1GHrs LocoMoT1vE.-The 9TH
err day says the Pittsburg Chronicle, "a plucky
little bull, who lives on the line Of the Cleve-
land and Pittsburg railroad, about six miles
from Wheeling, was grazing about near the
track and picking the fresh grass blades out
from between the cross-ties, when he heard
locomotive coming down upon him. The
locomotive whistled for the bull to clear the
tra,k, which the bull made an effort to do,
but being closely crowded by the iron horse
and not being disposed to show the white
feather, even to a superior and fiery oppo-
nent, his young bullship turned about, paw
cd tie earth, bowed his head, with the de-
termination to give his pursaer the best he
had in the shop. The engineer seeing this
put steam on enough to knock the bull sky
high. The two came together with ter
rible crash. His bullship was knocked in
to an .'in6nite number of small pieces" and
the engine was thrown from the track.

The condition Of the Rio Grande frontier
Is no better that it was in December, aud
there is little prospect of any immediate i'm
provement-true. there are four companies
Of U. S. Cavalry between Brownsville and
Rio Grande City, commanded BY brave and
efficient officers, rendering it unsafe for out

ever, is not The kind of warfare that Corti-
ma has chosen to adopt He has sworn, in
bis wrath, that since he cannot enlarge the
dominions of the serpent clutching eagle, by
removing the boundaries of Mexico eastward
he will not allow Americans to enjoy any
privileges Id the valley of the Rio Grahde.
It is very easy for his guetilla bands to carry
his threats into execution. Such is the ma
ture Of the country that no military force Is
sufficient to prevent these guerilla incursions
across the river, and Americans will not be
safe ID their ranches, until other steps are
taken for their security 4 fact contlected

SOMETHING NEW IN THE SCIENTIFIC
WoRLp.-We copy the following interesting
article from the New Orleans Picayune. -
It is from the pen Of their New York cor
respondent. "Walter Olyde:"
A certain DR.. Benjamin Hardinge, a
man If original miud-a careful, truthful
and never-tiring student of nature-has
spent the last Is years in his laboratory in
liquidating quartz rock and combining it
again in new and varied forms. Dlssolv-
ing quartz slick with an excess of alkali is
nothing new in chemistry; but to do it with
the slick very greatly in excess over the al.
kali, and in large quantities, and at small
expense, has been one Of the greatest stud
les Of chemistry for the past quarter Of a
century. This Dr.. Hardinge surely ac-
complished; for have seen three thousand
gallons Of liquid dissolved at one time and
ii the short space Of two hours, and at an
expense merely nominal. The capacity of
this monster machine is six thousand gal
Ions, and it can digest twelve tons Of quartz
or oixe or flint rock in twenty four hours,
and convert it into the waters of crystalliza-
ton. But then you have the basis for the
widest speoulations. Your readers are per-
haps aware, that very large portion of our
globe is of just this material, either in the
form of sand rock or other siliceous sub
stances.
By chemical nbinations. DIR. Hardinge
makes an article Of plastic marble, purer
than the purest Parian. It can be made
Of any color, by mixtures with various me-
tallic oxides. Every article of marble work
may thus be cast as perfectly as castings Of
metal now are, and copies of Corinthian pill
lars, statues, mantels, etc, can be furnish
ed at an expense Of probably one per cent.
on their cost. BY proper combination
with ordinary sand or marble, stone is
made harder than the hardest flint, and at
price less than the cheapest brick. Your
parlors may be frescoed with marble, and
time will never injure the colors. This is
undoubtedly the same process used in the
catacombs Of Egypt, the colors (which are
as fresh as when they were first put on,
three thousand years ago.
Your levees may now be built of stone
made on the premises, and you will have
no trouble to make them equal in size to the
foundation stones of Solomon's temple.
This liquid quartz is also made into paint
inccmbustible and soluble. Your ships and
steamboats, cannot burn up, and the mean
est hut will be as safe from fire as the mar
BILE palace This seems almost like the IA
bles of the Arabian Nights, yet it cannot
| be otherwise than true.
For aissolving gold bearing quartz, this
Inventions value is without limit. Every
atom of gold may be precipitated and saved
and then the liquid is Of far MOI e value thar
than the whole thing has cost. Think Of
one great iron monarch digesting twelve
tons of flint in 4 wan tu .fn1ir hnlira

SNAKE CHARMING. A gentlemen named
e.. E. Wirsen, Swede by birth, but fol
several ygeegrs past resident Of California
came to Atlanta few days ago and pro-
posed to the Faculty of the Medical College
that he would submit to. them some facts in
relation to snake charming that must for
ever put to rest the idea that such a thing
as charming snake cannot lie aone.. Mr.
w. gave one or two private exhibitions, and
at length he announced public exhibition
for Saturday last. We confess we were
dubious of the affair, and went to the exhi-
bition rather prejudiced against the exhib-
itor than in his favor.
|. A box containing some twenty-five snakes
among which was rattlesnake with seven
rattles, large ootton-mouth moccasin, the
copper head, or rattlesnake's pilot, two diff
ferent species of the viper. and several spe-
cies Of the water moccasin. He first took
the rattlesnake ia his hand, Shook his rat
ties, played with him, and coiled him about
his neck. He next took the cottor-1tiouth
moccasin, and went through with the same
manmuvres with him, and so on through
with all the others. He had at one time
the whole twenty five crawling around his
neck, shoulders and head, playing with him,
touching bis whiskers with their tongues.
and actually kissing him. He put them on
the floor and tormented them in manner
that we should call cruel-but not one Of
them attempted to bite him, or to show the
slightest anger-no matter what he did -
He picked them all up and put them all in
his .boso,n where they lay coiled and
crawled for five minutes. They were ther
restored to their box, every one satisfied o
one thing, that is, his complete control over
them.
A small stout dog, at least four years old
was then brought in, when Mr.. Wirsen tool
out the rattlesnake, and in an instant the
rattles were in motion, and the anger of the
snake aroused Mr.. w. held him in hi
hand while he BIT the dog twice. He ther
coiled the rattlesnake around his neck, and
took out tie cotton mouth moccasin, which
bit the dog once fercely From the mo
ment the dog was first bittsn--and he ap.
peared in excellent health before-he Looked
dull, and dropped, and died in an hour
This was, to all, the most satisfactory evi
idence that the snakes were venemots, blu
perfectly charmed and innocent in the hand
Of Mr.. Wirsen. The utmost satisfaction
was manifested by all present. Atlantic
