about him in the valley of Diamonds
bewlldered TO think how rich it is.
Within those lids are the hues that Mil

as by the nirac,e of his mind they swell
ed the census of all time-colors that
lapse of ye.rs cannot wear away, and
the touch o. death cannot fade. There
are the words of eloquence that filed
the world, and wait another's saving
there the wardrobe OF the giants of the
elder time yet meet a latter wearing.
Old loves were breathed, old vows were
said, old songs were sung in these same
words. Old war cries are on the same
pages; words for the glowing lips of
prophetic voice; utterance for all truth.
1t is to the world of mind-the dlction-
ary-what the simple elements thechem-
list gathers in his hand sometimes are to
the world Of matter and we shall never
be done wondering how myriad forms of
strength and beauty are forever evolved
from words how the blind bard of Eng
land found therein the dialect of Eden
and Avon's son sinew for Richard and
the song for Ophelia.
What flowers Of fancy what truths
with hearts of oak spring FROM those inky
words what monuments are built of

dewy wings like the morning, in the hy-

for the yielding hand what Gilcad balm
for the wounded heart-trumpets to be
blown for liberty; zephyrs TO be breath

rcsounding treSd over the iron thresh-
hold of the press; forth into the world
as went the diluvian dove, never to re-

Why, the compactness of our repub-
lie depends not so much upon the Fourth
of July as upon the dictionary. There
is oneness of thought in a oneness of
words a common language is the dear
repository of common past, and those
who have the same syllsbles for home"
and mother" for hearth" and "heav-

vICIOUsNEss OF CHRISTIANITY.

Here is the latest tit bit of the Deseret
Neses, founded on New York Herald
special, (sensation) that the Christian
authorities at Hcng Kong had licensed
gambling houses and the Chinese of
Canton have protested" The Herald
first plunges into trade against Chris
tianity and the Neaos chimes in. The
Chinese are the most inveterate gamb-
lers in the world, and If Christian au-
thorities did license them and the
Chinese protest against anything, il was
because licensing" contemplated re-
striction and was an inroad upon the
universally of gambling. The Nelos,
however. makes this fallacy subserve it's
purpose. Il is exceedingly foreign in
its designated, instances of the degra-
dation of Christianity, but we think that

animosity the Utah press assailed the
appeal of the missionaries of the
Episcopal church of Salt Lake. the true

Denver Union Pacific Railroad.

We are indebted to Mr.. House, con-
nected with the engineer department of
the u. p. r. R.. for the Information from
6en. Dodge that arrangements have
been perfected for the construction of
the Denver and Pacific railroad from
Denver TO Cheyenne next season. Colo
RADIO is to furnish five hundred thousand
dollars in cash towards the construction
of the road, and the U. P. r. r., the
balance of the necessary. funds to build
the road and the machine shops for the
mountain division of the U. p. r. X. are
also TO be- constructed at Cheyenne.
This Is very gratifying news to both
Denver and Omaha. 1t will be decidedly
advantageous to the interests OF both OF
them as well as of Colorado and Ne
braska.-Omdsd Republican.
The Omaha Herald further says:
The line will be built from Cheyenne
as the initial point from Denver. The
line will be LIZ miles long. Ma
chine shops, round houses and depots
will be built at Cheyenne, the work
commencing in early spring.
The result here announced will be
gratifying news to those who know the
importance of the enterprise and pro-
perly value railroad connections with
the new northwest. To Denver and
Colorado especially the new road which
General Dodge calls the Denver Pacihc
will De of incalculable consequence.
Cheyenne will be stimulated 10 still
more magical advancement. perhaps
and the Union Pacific magnat.s can now
turn their faces To the northward for the
Montana Branch.

WE learn that the Government sur
vey of the Territory, under the direction
of Gen. Sol. Meredith, Surveyor General
of Montana, has progressed to the estab-
lishment of tine base and meridian lines,
and, in the vicinity of Helena, to the
survey of county and township lines.
thus putting the Land Office in condi-
ton for actual operation. The appoint-
ment IF Deputy District Surveyors, au~
thorized by the act of Congress of July
26, 1866, will expedite this important
work and enable owners of valuable
mineral and agricultural lands TO secure
patents for them at the Government
rates OF 50 per acre for mineral, and 81 %
per acre for agricultural lands. The
value of these patents from the United
States TO possessors of valuable mineral
lands, cannot be over-estimated, and il
is the duty of agents and managers of
companies to communicate with their
principals, and be prepared upon the
completion of the general surveys to Sc
cure patents for their claims. There are
four prerequisites to obtaining patents.
The mineral lands OF the United States
are only free aud open to exploration
and occupation by citizens of the United
States and those who have declared their
intention to become citizGEs." The local
laws, customs, and rules of the miners,
so far as not in conflict with the laws of
the United States, are to be observed. In
dividuals or associations must have ex-
pended in labor and improvements not
less than 8, 900 on the mineral property
sought to be patented, and there must
be no controversy or opposing claim in
regard to the possession at the time of
application. Having already given to
each subscriber of the PosT a copy of the
laws and instructions of the Commission
er on this matter, we deem il but neces-
sary to call attention TO these points,
that the advantages offered by the Gov
ernment may be secured without delay
when the requisite surveys have been
completed. In adjacent States and Ter
ntories, where the Land Offices are in
operation, owners of property are very
generally securing patents.
