DEPTHS OF THE SEA.-A French
journal says that the soundings effect
ed with reference to the new trans
Atlantic cable have enabled c0mpari-
sons to be made of the different depths
Of the sea. Generally speaking, they
are not of any great depth in the
neighborhOod of continents; thus the
Baltic, between Germany and Sweden
is only 100 feet deep; and the Adri-
attic, between Venice and Trieste. 1870
feet. The greatest depth OF the chan
mel between France and England
does not exceed 200 feet. while to the
southwest of Ireland. where the sea is
open, the depth is more than 2O00
feet. The seas to the south of Eli
rope are much deeper than those il
the interior. In the nalrowest part
of the straights of Gibralter the
depth is only 1000 feet, while a little
more to the east it is 5000 feet. On
the coast of Spain the depth is nearly
5000 feet. At $50 miles south Of
Nantucket (south of Cape Cod no
bottom was found at 1000 feet. The
greatest depths of all are to be met
with in the Southern Ocean. To the
west of the Cape of Good Hope 49,
600 feet have been measured, and to
the west Of st. Helena $4,000. DR..
Young estimates the average depth
Of the Atlantic at $4,000 feet. and of
the Pacific at 10000 feet.

from Idaho and Montana are now
coming into the city in greater num-
bers than last year, to pass the WIN

selves to the Gentiles. And it will
indeed be strange if the winter goes

Meantime, we renew our protest

by the general government. 1t Is a
shame that, with such elements OF
strife and conflict, with such threaten
ing outrages as we have described as
lately occurring, and likely to ripen
any time into a more general and
more bloody struggle, the federal
power is not there in any greater
strength of mind and matter. Salt
Lake should be the headquarters Of
several thousand soldiers under Wig

necessarily to take sides in the social
struggles going on there, but to see
that neither side carried their sacred

A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature providing for erecting a
Monument over the grave Of Thomas
Chittenden in the town of Williston,
for his efforts in establishing the
sovereignty of the State of Vermont
against the opposition OF New Hamp-

James Dunn, soldier, for drunken
ness was hung up by his thumbs for
two hours. and then fell heavily to the
ground by the breaking of the rope,
and struck on the back of his head,
which rendered him insensible. The
inanimate, bleeding man was immedi-
ately tied up again by his wounded
hands, by an IMPLYING sergeant, and
would have been kept in that position
but for the interference Of Brig. Gen
Hill, who commands the post. This
was at 4 o'clock. At 8 p. m., after
Dunn had partially come to his senses
he was again seized and ordered to
carry a 40 pound shot by the officer o.
the day. 1t was too much of a task
for his weak condition, and the shot
fell from his fingers, Notwithstanding
all his efforts to retain it. He was
then tied up by the thumbs for the
third time and left suspended for foul
hours in mortal agony. When re
