The mortality of Mexico City is re-

This bigh-handed measure is increasing the
discomfort among the people, and together
with other tyrannles is likely to bring on re-

A singular StOrm.-About o'clock
last Sunday afternoon there suddenly
appeared on the nights at Bergen, New
Jersey, a vast and portentous cloud
which blackened the whole western ho-
rizon and blotted out the setting sum-
1t seemed dense volume of smoke
spreading from Weehawken down to
Bergen Point; but as it rode on the
gale nearer and nearer to the wondering
multitude, it revealed itself as a cloud
of sand. Its flight was rapid and fear
full, and before the wayfarers in the
streets had found shelter under the
roofs of the ferry houses, it had sped
over their heads and hidden the city
from their view. Close on the heels of
this remarkable sand clond followed
copious and welcome shower, which
laid the New Jersey dust and sent the
ambitious thermometer down to a mod
est and very respectable level.

The Great uormen tabernacle

The Salt Lake (Utah) Telegraph has
detailed account of the MOrmon's re-
ligious edifice, now going up in that
city. The architect is a Mr.. Henry
Grow:
The building is in the form OF an
ellipse. with the extreme length of go
feet, and width of $50. Extreme height
of roof rs feet; height of ceiling, IS
feet. The immense roof frame rests
upon AZ cut stone piers, about IL feet
apart and 20 in height, which gives As
feet of spring to the arch. The A bent
or principal rafters forming the arch
are composed of six thlcknesses PIP
inch plank, framed like lattice work,
strongly pinned and bolted, and tied by
| 10 horizontal crOss-timbers on the out
side, upon which the small rafters for
the sheeting will be laid, and Is similar
cross-timbers inside, to which the cell
ing ioist5 will be stayed. The Is half
bents resting upon the Ii piers in curve
at each end, join diagonally upon the
apex of the arch of the two outside par
allel bents.
The island will be in the west end
the floor will be level for a distance of
oiAbJ VI seventy ltGb III lTOnb OF the
stand, thence gradually rising to the
east end, where the seats will be eight
feet above the level. 1t is estimated
that the house will seat about $1,000
persons. For freedom of ingress and
egress-a very material consideration
where large audiences are concerned
ample provision has been made in the
folding door appointments OF the entire
space between the same piers in the line
on either side, A cornice eight feet
deep will surmount the stone work.
In the majestic, towering, self-sup-
porting roof of this building, there will
be consumed nearly 100, 900 feet of lum-
Der. When finished, it will present the
appearance of a ponderous half globe,
with sides slightly compressed, and
though of the plain, rather than gro
tesque order of architecture, from its
vast proportions and striking originality
OF design, will make its impression up
on the beholder, and stand as an i'm
perishable monument of magnificent
zeal and unparalleled unity on the part
of an infant, derided people, who are
disposed to honor the credentials of
Heaven and bow to itsregal supremacy.
