APT QUoTATIoES.-Ag good instance OF
epigrammatic quotation is recorded OF
Hamilton Reynolds, wellknown as
possessing, among other requirements,
an exceptionally great acquaintance
with Shakespeare works. He was pres
ent at Gore House, one evening, among
q number OF distinguished men. and AS
the Countess OF Blessington saw him at
the door on his departure, she satdI II
understand, Mr.. Reynolds, that you en-
10y the reputation of being able to give
u Shakespearean mot suitable to every
occasion? Come; what have you to say
now?" MADAME" replied Reynolds,
without moments hesitation, II take
my leave
Under the shade OF melancholy 6Oughs.'
He bowcd profoundly as he spoke, and
went.
The very happiest quotation on record
is recalled to mind by the death of Lord
Brougham. In the trial of Queen Car
oline it was n curious and significant
fact that no prosecutor appeared, and
it became most important to show that
the king was the real plaintiff. CUES
tons 10 witnesses bearing on that point
were objected to, and Brougham, in a
memorable outburst, Indignantly pro-
tested against this, urging that, for all
he could tell, the prosecution might
suddenly vanish into thin air, since he
knew not under what shape it existed
"If shape it NIGH to called, that shape had
DlstInEuishable in member, joint or limb
Or substance might be called that shadow
For each seem'd either-.what seem'd his head
The likeness Of a kin0Ey cr0IUh had on"
The effect Of this quotation, apparently
so spontaneously conjured up In the
memory of the speaker,yet so singular
ly Apostle, was electrical.

The First Prayer I'm Congress.

In Thatcher's Military Journal, under
date of December, l777, is found note
containing the indentical "first prayer in
Congress-" made by the Rev. Jacob Duche.
a gentleman of great sloquence.-IIe it
is-an historical curiosity:
20, Lord, our heavenly Father, high
and mighty King Of Kings, and Lord of
lords, who dost from Thy throne behold
all the dwellers of the earth, and reignest
with power supreme and uncontrolled over
all the kingdoms, empires. and govern
ments look down in mercy, we beseech
Thee, on these American states who have
fled to Thee from the rod Of the oppressor,
and throw themselves on thy gracious pro-
lection, desiring to be hencefonth depen-
dent on Thee. To Thee they have appear
ed for the highest righteousness of their
cause; to The do they now look up for
that countenance and support which Thou
alone canst give. Take them, therefore,
heavenly Father, under thy untiring care.
Give them wisdom in council and valor in
the field. Defeat the malicious designs of
our adversaries convince them of the un-
righteousness of their cause and, if they
will presist in sanguinary purposes, Oh
let the .oice of thine own unerring JUS.
tice, sounding in their hearts, constrain
them to drop the weapons OF war from
their unnerved hands in the day of battle.
Be Thou present 0 God of wisdom, and
direct the councils of this honorable as
sembly. Enable them to settle things on
the best and surest foundation. that the
scenes of blood may be speedily closed,
and order, harmony and peace may be eff.
fectualy restored, and truth and justice,
religion and piety prevail and flourish
amongst Thy people. Preserve the health
of their bodies and the vigor of their
minds; shower down upon them and the
millions they here represent, such tempor-
al blessings as Thou seest expedient for
them in this world, and crown them with
everlasting glory in the world to come.
All this we ask, in the name and through
the merits of Jesus Christ. Thy Son, our
Saviour. Amen"

sslt Lake.
The Salt Lake Reporter says: $50 far
the experiment of boating on the lake has
proved very uninteresting, to those making
it at least. The first trip Of the Kate Con-
nor from E. I. City to Monument Point,
demonstrated the necessity of building the
boat almost anew and putting in new ma
chinery. This was got through from Chi.
ego al ut the middle Of February. ard
another trip su'iced to r. nder the boiler
unserviceable from the bad qualities of the
water used. Still another boiler wac put
in and third trip made successfully, bet
ter water having been found on the lake
shore. On her fourth trip the boat was
caught iu the prev lent heavy storm, and
was obliged to cut loose from the seow she,
was towing, which drifted back toward
the starting poiat. That was the last we
heard from the enterprise.
"There is 20 doubt Of the practicability
Of navigating the lake, but it must be done
by boats of larger tonnage, and with more
power than the pioneer in the business,
the Kate Connor.
"a line Of packets plying between Salt
Lake City and Corinne, one leaving each
place every morning and making the trip
by daylight, would no doubt pay. Salt

mountains and hidden outlets, being one
Of the most noted novelties Of the Rocky
Mountains, furnishing also cheap means
Of transportation between the two points,
perhaps the cheapest way Of getting mer-
ohandise to Salt Lake City until branch
railroad shall have been built to that town.

monstrated the feasibility of such naviga-
ton, although it has cost him dearly

from the Potomac to the Rio Grande,-
and am fully satisfied that the aulocthones
of America were placed upon this contin-

Mongol in Asia, and the negro in Africa,
millions of years before the advent of the
Adamic race.
The numerous geological developments
which have been made Of late years, both
in Europe and America, have confirmed
the opinion tn It this country was occupi.
ed by several distinct species Of the human
family as early as that of the eastern hem
isphere. The footprints of man in the
alluvial, tertiary, ana capboniferous for-
nations, together with fossil remains of
hu nan beings and the higher order of
qua lruI eds, prove the existance Of The
in rior races of man countless ages before
tn historic period and also prove the
fact that the different species, though
created at the same time, were formed and
placed upon the earth in groups, just as
other animals and plants were, in centres
or provinces, suited to their natures and
habits, and at widely different periods, as
the temperature of the earth became
adapted to their existence, and not all at
once, and placed in one common ce ntre,
