All Travellers" writes a correspon-

would be simply impossible for them
to sink if thrown overheard. With
my hands clasped together under my
head and my feet crossed, / doated
on the very surface Of the Lake with
at least one-third of my body above
the water. Upon a warm summer's
day there would not be the slightest
difficulty in going TO sleep upon the
Lake, and allowing yourself to be
blown about as the wind permitted;
only one would need an umbrella to
keep of the rays of the sun.
It has been stated that three buck
cts Of this water will yield one buck

water will not hold above twenty-five
per cent. Of saline matter In soiutiod.'
and, If more be added, it is Instantly
deposited upon the bottom. this esti-
mate is, Of course. too large. On in
quiring of the Mormons engaged in
procuring salt, they unanimously
stated that. for every five buckets Of
water, they obtain one bucket Of salt,
which gives the proportion as no less
than twenty per cent. No visitor to
the Lake shQDld omit the bath the
sensation in the water is moet luxur-
ious, and leads one to think himself
floating in the air. On the way back
to the city it will be as well for tho
bather to stop at the superb sulphur
baths just outside the town, and re-
move the saline incrustations which
have formed on him by plunge into
the fine swimming bath, whose only
objection is its peculiar oder and its
great heat, which requires large ad-

The restoration of the Jews toJeru.
salem is one Of the expected events for
which that scattered people have long
been looking with intense desire.
Christian nations, sympathizing with
an expectation that seems to besr
prophetic authority, have thought, mot
with regret, that at come future day
the tribes would be gathered in the
sacred city. But, while speculating
upon the great event which is post.
poned until near the millennium, no one
would have expected that when the
Jews returned to Jerusalem they
. would discover it to be Yankee city.
And yet preparations to Americanize
Jerusalem have commenced. News
has been received that one hundred
and fifty Yankees from Jonesport,
Maine, have arrived in Palestine, and
that they intend to colonixe there and
reform the land. That they viii be
successful may be predicted, for the
Yankee has spirit, ingenuity and per
severence which will qualify him to
succeed anywhere.
The emigration to the Holy City
will be but beginning to the hegira
which will populate Jerusalem with q
dreadfully smart people. They vii
