BI3 FrcuREs.-Tt il astonishing, the fond
ness that Americana are learning 10 have for
great figures. We seq it stated that on one
day Of the great battle between the bulls and
the bears in New York, last week. the sales
of gold amounted to the enormous sum of
81. 100 COO .000-eleven hundred million dol
lars-about sig times as much as there is
known to be in the country, md nearly as
much rs there is in the whole world OF
course this gold was not delivered from hand
to han0 Mt each sale; the business was merely
one Of margins-each one paying the differ
pnce in the price of SO much gold when he
bought. and the price when he sold. Ii gold
was delivered every time it was sold, the pur-
chase Of it in New York would lie very
modest business. The margin business grows
out Of the American penchant fnr big figures.
even when they mean little. Chica gn's devo-
ton to big figures is one OF the distinguishing
traits of that town. The transactions on ex-
change do not satisfy her merchants. and the
margin system has been introduced into the
homely commodity of wheat. that they may
read in their morning papers that so many
hundred thousand bushels of grain were
bought and sold the day hefprp. A few years
ago man worth hundred thousand dollars
was esteemed as rich as he need be. and oil

RENARKABLE PHENOMENON But singu-
lar change seems to be creeping over all our
Western regions under settlement, in this
matter Of climate and Of rain. Summer rains
are very palpably on the Increase, and the
necessity of irrigation is lessening, especially
for the grains and slow-grcwing vegetables.
When the Mormons first came here, there
was no rain from April to November; but
now Summer showers are cf frequent occur
rance. /. is so in Colorado and California
there is growth in the moisture of the Sum-
mer and a lessening need of artificial water
ing for the main crops. The Phenomena is
peculiar, and has vet received no satisfactory
explanation. Connected with this change, it
is observed here that Salt Lake is growing in
size and freshness, ard the Jordan increasing
in width and sluggsbness Of movement. In
broader phrase, the whole basin, once evil
IDENTIFY filled with water, IS slowly returning
to i,s old condition. The Lake is rising Mt
the rate of a.foOt year. General C0nner's
little steamboat that has been carrying tics
for the railroad across the Lake for the last
year, certainly rode for mile over what was
good grazing ground FIVE years before. Does
Providence propose to drown the Mormons
out. and with water solve the problem that is
puzzling our moral philosophers and states
men?
The country drained by the Great Salt
Lake is about one hundred and fifty miles
east and west, and two hundred and fifty
north and south. Four or FIVE large streams
of fresh water pour into it, and the facts a.
ready stated. that it las no visible outlet, and
that its waters are one-faurts salt. mock SCI
encc and make imagination ridiculous.
Other salt il found in the country; there is
a mountain of rocE salt few miles away;
and below in Arizona is similar mountain.
whose salt is as finest glass. and beautiful

MATRlNoNIAL SHow.-A show ofmarriage-
able young women takes place annually
among the Roumanians. AS the time for the
fair approaches. the fathers, whose children
are marrageab,e collect what they can afford
as oowry. Whatever this consists of, il is
packed, il possible, into cart or carriage.
ana on the appointed day they all-fathers,
children and chattles--start for some trysting
place. generally chosen among the western
mountains of Pennsylvania. When the fair
is opened, the fathers climb to the top oftheir
carriages and shout with the whole power OF
their lungs Il have daughter to marry.
Who wants wife?' The call is answered
by some other parent who has q son he -
anxions to pair off. The two parents COM
pare notes. and if the marriage portion -
satisfactory, the treaty is concluded then ana
there. The young man takes possession OF
his wife. and all her goods and chatiles. AMI
drives off merrily. If on the other hand. ths
match is not equal, OF for some other reason
unsatisfactory. then the parents begin to cry
their live merchandise once more.
