A Minute Too Late.

On Monday, at the Pacific depot, says
st. Louis paper. as the express train
was slowly starting, an old gentleman
was seen running across the street toward
the depot shouting with all his might.
Into the depot he rushed, and in a twin
kle was tearing out again, with a jar of
butter embraced by one arm, and an
overcoat and umbrella secured by the
other. He ran after the train yelling
like iunatlc. The conductor saw him,
and with that usual accommodating spirit
which Is so prevalent among the conduc-
tors of the Pacific, pulled the bell rope,
but the old man did not wait for the train
to stop. Overtaking it, he attempted to
throw himself, with his jar of butter,
overcoat and umbrella upon the rear
platform. He struck it, of course, but
bounded off again in the widest disorder
He seemed to stand upon his head for
a moment, his legs forming an animated
V IN the air. His jar of butter rolled
along the depot platform as if determined
not to give up the pursuit of the train
even if he did. His oyercoat whipped
around his heels, and the umbrella went
off after the butter jar in series Of flip
flaps. W hen those who ran to his assist
ance had reached him he had subsidized
INTO sitting posture, and looked about
as bewildered a looking old gentleman as
it has ever been our lot to see He had
she'd his wig in the tilt against the car,
and his spectacles had also disappeared.
The train was stopped, when several
bystanders proceeded to put the old gen
tleman together again as quickly as pos
sible and get him aboard, for the conduc
tor was not disposed to larry long. In
the hurry the wig was put on wrong side
afcre, and his hat damned down over one
eye in very rakish way. His umbrella
was noked under his arm, and the cover
OF the Outer ja.' being yIokcn, the over
coat was made to serve in that capacity.
Then the spectacles were adjusted under
his nose, in the hurry and confusion of
the moment, and the old man, with all
his traps, showed upon the car just as it
was moving away Exhausted and terri
bly, demoralized, he sat down on the Jar
Of butter on the rear of the train, pre-
sentlng such a grotesque spectacle that
all about the depot set up an uncontrolla-
bic roar of laughter, that might have
been heard several blocks 1t was tho t
very doubtful about his ever fully recov-
ering serene equilibrium of mind again,
all owing to being "a minute too late p"

Will SALT LAKE Cry BE DESTROY
ED?-The correspondent of the Cleve-

The beautiful and picturesque Salt
Lake, with its hun ired mountain islcts.
has now long been insight, with It's varied
aud changing grand views. with It's placid,
unruttlcd bosom, lie who beholds, be
holds but to admire. 1t is about l25
miles long, and - miles across at It's
widest place. | am informed that into
it are drained and poured, by river and
rivulets, the water of az area of country
Of over 100000 square miles. A vast
amount Of water; and yet this lake has
no outlet. What becomes of this water
Can evaporation alone dispose of it? [
am also informed that the water of the
lake rose last year three feet, and is now
continuing to rise at the same rate.
| Should this continue for few years
longer, beware, We saints of the sanity
city! Ye will be swallowed up as were
the saints Of the cities of old, together
with their cities, by that other Dead Seal
/ On the sides of the mountains surround

least 200 feet, distinctly traccable, can
| be seen the evidence of water mark, made
/ by the having of waves, perhaps of cen
| turtles duration, making it plainly evil
| dent to even the most incredulous that in
some former age the lake had been very
much larger than it now is, possibly of
! twenty times its present area. Ii this Is
true, as it surely is, the lake now rising,
why may it not attain its former level
What drained it? We cannot see, nor

therefor The cause of draining having
ceased or ceasing, it will again fill up.
The lake is generally shallow, and no
living thing exists below the surface OF
its waters, nor floats upon its bosom.
