.The Water ereaIt Eake.

All travellers, writes a correspondent,
have mentioned with astonishment the
the peculiar buoyancy Of the water of
Great Salt Lake, and it is truly surpri-
sing. No danger Of shipwreck need
ever cross the mind of those who navi-
gate the lake, for it would be simply
impossible for them to sink if thrown
overheard, With my hands clasped
together under my head, and my feet
crossed, l foated on the very surface Of
the lake, with at least one-third ofmy
body above the water. Upon a warm
summers day there would not be the
slightest difficulty in going to sleep
upon the lake, and allowing yourselfto
be blown about as the wind permitted;
only one would need an umbrella to
keep of the 70 SIS ofthe sun. 1t has
been stated that three buckets of this
water will yield one of solid salt, but
inasmuch as water will not hold above
twenty-five per cent. Of saline matter in
solution, and if more be added IL is in
stantly deposited upon the bottom,
this estimate is, Of course, too large
On inquiring of the m engaged
in procuring salt, they unanimously
stated hat for every five buckets Of
water they obtained one bucket of salt
which gives the proportion at no lest
than twenty per cent. No visitor t.
the lake should omit the bath; the sen
sation in the water is most luxurious
and leads one TO think himself floating
in the air. On the way back to thu
city, 1t will be as we'll for tho bather t.
stop at the superb sulphur baths jus
outside the town, and remove the,salin'
incrustations which will have formed

swimming bath, whose only objection
is its peculiar odor and its great heat
which requires q large admixture 0

-The Conatltutlonal Amendment.

The Constitutional Amendment
The Democratic organs continue sys.
tematically to misrepresent the Con.
stitutional Amendment by declaring
that it provides for negro suffrage, and
even sound Republicans drift into the
way of associating it with "universal
suffrage" There never was a grosser
mistake orr greater misrepresentation
concerning this important
philadelphia Bulletin.
Lot us seei if it is a Misrepresentation
1t provides that if negroes are not al
lowed to vote they shall not be counted
in the basis OF representation in the
States o DISTINGUISHING Thorn. In other
words, the South must either consent
to negro suffrage or suffer a loss of
twenty-five members Of Congress and
as many Presidential electors in the
choice of President. This may not be
technically proyidingfo for negrosuffrage,
but it Is q reward to those States that
adopt it and a punishmentto those who
do not. by depriving them Of their po-
litical influence in the Government
Negroes are but one of several classes
of adult people who are now counted
in Congressional representation, but
are denied suffrage. These classes are
women, aliens and negroes.
The amendments do not declare that
there shall bo representation in Con-
gress based only upon the voting class
es, for lift did, States would loso mem
bers by denying suffrage to women
and aliens, as we'll as to negroes. The
latter are made an exception among the
n%on-voting classes, The States are
still to have representation for women
and aliens who do n%otvote, but not for
negroes.
Here il the injustice and rsscality Of
the scheme: Why should State have
a representationin Congress for 127, 900
women or aliens who do not vote any
more than for $4,000 negroes that are
denied that privileges Will any friend
Of the amendment tell us? If the pro-
posed change in the Constitution put
ak the non-voting classes upon an
equality, and confined representation
in Congress to the basis ofsuffrage, the
Northern States would lose thirty
members of Congress more than the
South by the arrangement, as it has by
far the largest non-votIng class in it's
midst. The Radicals, therefore, have
devised a scheme by which the North
loses no members Of Congress by deny
ing suffrage to large classes of people,
but the South does. 1t is, therefore,
simply q swindle, that has no other
effect than to punish the South for not
adopting negro suffrage, -[Cineinnati

Mexico is pleasant place to live in. The

debate as to which side her legions will strike
Tor; but to fortify our own opinion with that
OF keen observer, we here quots from JOHN
MITCHELL's Paris letter to the New York
News, in which paper it appeared on the 9th.
He says:
There is more news Of Russia 1t is now
pretty certain that Russia has offered to Aus
tria an alliance, offensive and defensive, upon
certain terms; and that Austria has declined
il for the present, on the ground that it would
give France an opportunity to interfere ac-
lively on behalf Of Prussia and Italy Russia,
however, has hundred thousand Choice
troops massed on the Austrian frontier, and is
ready for events.
We produce this, not so much to prove the
accuracy Of our own previous specuations
upon this point, as to show the reasonable
probability that what Marshal BENEDEK so
POLITICALLY calls ''the war-like dance" is likely
to have an important addition to the COM
pany.
BY this time the ball is fairly opened, and
the dancing-such rs it is-has begun When
the entertainment is over, those who "pay
