The Water Of Salt Lake.

All travellers, writes correspondent,
have mentioned with astonishment the
peculiar buoyancy of the waters of
Great Salt Lake, and it is truly surpris-
ing. 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 to-
gether under my head, and my feet
crossed, l foated on the very surface of
the lake with at least cne-third of my
body above the water, Upon a warm
summers day there would not be the
slightest difficulty in going to sleep up
on the lake and allowing yourself to be
blown about as the wind permitted
only one would need an umbrella to
keep off the rays of the sun. 1t has
been stated that three buckets of this
water will yield one bucket 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
it is instantly deposited upon the bot
tom, this estimate is, Of course, too
large. On inqulring of the Morrons
engaged in procuring salt they unani-
mously stated that for every five buck
cts of waterthey obtained one bucket of
salt, which gives the proportion as nc
less than twenty per cent No visitor
to the lake should omit the bath; the
sensation in the water is most luxurious,
and leads one to think himself floating
in the afr. On the way back to the
city it will be as we'll for the bather to
stop at the superb sulphur baths just
outside the town and remove the saline
incrustations which will have formed
upon him, by plunge into the fine
swimming bath, whose only objectionis
its peculiar odor and its great heat,
which requires large admixture Of cold
water. ....

"MY POLICY"


The time TO vote was coming fast,
as through the East and West there passed
A man, who bore from place to place
"A banner with the strange device"
my Policy"
His brow was low: his eyes beneath,
Locked like toAd.stools upon the heath;
And like drunken bla'gpards song,
The words rolled from his thlckehed tongue
..... MY Policy!"
In every place he saw the light
OF "radicalism" shining bright,
But, needing not warning shout,
De still with boldness beloved out,
MY Policy!"

But loud that boasting voice replied,

A voice replied, far out Of sight,

Singular Cure for Lazineaa

A friend, whose name we are not at
liberty to give, but who is well and
widely known as business man Of
sterling worth, was last year erecting d
large building. One of his excellent pc.
culiarities is, to allow no intelnperance
or profanity among his men, and to in
sist that every man shall work for the
liberal pay he is willing to give. One
day, this gentleman noticed that one Of
the builders was continually shirking,
seeming to care only to pass away the
time and draw his pay. Calling his
foreman, who had the hiring as well as
the overseeing Of the men, our friend
asked whether the lazy hand had been
engaged for the season, OF only for d
short time. "For the season. was the
reply, but ! can discharge hitfi, sup.
pose" "Oh! no" said Mr. -, "but
| want you to go down to the village
hotel and engage the best room you can
find; let this man go there and occupy
it; every month send his bill to me, and
] will pay it" The foreman informed
the Hired man of the Instructions given,
and he at once went to the owner. II
understand you are not satisfied with
my work." said he. Il find no fault
with your work." was the reply, abut
because you doa't work. 81 willleave,
if you insist ON it,, saidthe niah. "Not
at ALL don't turn you away, but /
have given orders to have the best room
at the hotel put at your service, since
you want to play the gentlsrnar at my
expense, aud ! promise you will pay
the bill promptly every month, but /
will not, have your bad example among
my men," The poor fellow, utterly
dumb-founded at such novel treatment;
scarcely knew how to reply, but looked
as though he would like to sink into
the ground. Finally, he asked, "Are
you willing to try me for q week"
"Certainly," said Mr.. -, 81 am az
ways willing to help man who wants
to reform" The man returned to his
work, cured of his laziness; and from
that day forth, no more Industrious Esnd
was to be found on the place

In Boiling Meats, never put them
in cold water, but plump them into that
which is boiling briskly. This will
coaguate the albumen on the outside,
close the pores; and prevent the water
from soaking out the rich juices; If
salted meats need fresheniug, let it be
previously done with cold water, taking
all needed time, with frequent changing
of the water, if it is very salt. Tough
cheap pieces of beef, can he ntade tens
der and palatable as follows: If salt;
freshen as above Put into the pot
with a trife more water than win be
finally needed. Set into the top of the
cooking pot closely fitting tin pail or
pan; and fill it with cold water If this
gets boiling hot, dip out some and add
cold water from time to time. Boil the
meat until it gets so entirely tender that
the bones will drop out, even if it takes
FIVE or ten, hours. The steam and
aroma or favor of the meat, will be
condensed ON the bottom Of the cover
ing pan or pail of water, and drop back
and thus be retained. When thor
oughly done, remove the cover, and
slowly simmer down thick enough to
jelly when cold. Dip out the meat,
remove the bones, place it IN a PAM
pour over it the boiled liquid, lay over
it large tin plate or inverted plattsry
and put on Is to 80 lb. weight When
cold, it will cut into nice slices, aud If
lean and fat or white meat be mixed, it
will be beautifully marbled. The juice
will jelly and compact.it firmly togeths
er, and you will have nice Juicy meat,
good for breakfast, dinner or supper;
and so tender that poor teeth can mas
ticate it. Fresh beef, or eorEed beef
we'll freshened in cold water, may be-
used in this way with decided economy,
and it is far superior to meat boiled in
an open vessel from which the favor
has constantly escaped, as you can per-
ceive by the odor all through the house5

A MAN GARRoTED IN A CHCRcH.-Joseph
kellen, an 1rishman, whose family reside in
Winona, MINI, but who has been at work on
the North Missouri Railroad for some time
past, arrived in the city yesterday morning
desiring 10 see friend on 0Failon street. he
inquired OF two men whom he met on Fourth
street the direction thitheI. They very kind
ly, as ne thought, proposed to show him the
way, and while walking along, Kellen having
taken "lIttle something" was excessively
mmunicative, telling his new-made friends
where he lived, where be had been, and WAS
going, and how much mepev he had abou {
hlm. Arriving opposite 81. Parrick's Church,
corner OF Sixth and BIddle streets one of
the fellows told him IL was one Of the finest
churches inside in the United States and
that he himself did the painting. KeIlep
went in, on their invitation, and, like a
good catholic, no sooner did he enter
TIE threshold than he knelt down 10 give
thanks for the blessings vouchsafed to him
There was no one in the church al the time
but the three men. As kelien arose from his
kneeling posture, the larger and stronger of
the two ru mans seized him in the true xarrot-
ing style, and in less time than il takes to tell
II, ne was robbed Of his pocket book, contain
ing SO, and passenger tickets on the steamer
Rob Roy up the river. Before he had time TO re-
cover his eq quillibrium, the garreters had dis.
appeared. He at once repaired TO the police
station. gave an account Of the procedure and
description of the scoundrels.
This Is the first case OF the kind on record in
this city, and fer bold dash and successful
execution will compare fayorably with ANY,
thing In modern history. Chicago must look

A SfEcTACLE.-An extraordinary sight was
witnessed in the principal London streets re-
Gently. Rather more than a thousand of the
most miserable wretches that ever wore the
garb OF humanity formed a procession and
marched In silence from the neighborhood OF
Wrapping and Whitechapel 10 the sristocratic
quarters OF st. James and Bslgrayia- There
was NO disturbance or excess Of any kind
Livery man was In rags, and every form and
face bore the unmistakable marks Of priya;ion
and distress. A banner or two contained m
Scorpions indicative Of their character and
their wants, and a few carried money boxes
TO receive any donations that might he be-
slowed upon them.
Why, 1 know not, but IL was not deemed
worth while to prevsn this demonstration on
lhe part OF the authoritieS, but the sight was
one that did not tend 10 add greatly TO an En-
Elishman's pride. These men, il is well known,
were only the representatives of q body forty
times their n um Der, for IL has been ascertAiued
that there are no less than forty thousand in
the Eastern suburbs OF London, not only out
OF employment, bst reduced 70 the extreme OF
desiltution, and dependent on daily charity for
their morsel OF bread or cup OF soup, that
keeps the flame OF life alight within their
emaciated bodies. Ii is a frightful thing To
contemplate, and what ls TO oe the end of this
state OF things Heaven only knows Boston
