the Mormons had to rely sole.
Ely on their own resources, and
when many oftheconveniences
and comfoltsofHfe were wholly
unknown in that section, they
adopted this crystalized salt !
as we have already said, for
window lights, The panes
they used reflected about as
much light as the ordinary
frosted glass used in saloons and
other business houses. Owing
to the fact, doubtless, that It
seldom rains in that part Of the
country, the ''salt glass was
found to be durable, and in
many places it is in general use
to this day. Without stopping
to speculate, however, on the
influence more and better light
would have eXerted on the
Mormon problem in general,
and polygamy in particular,
we must. proceed to notice
something in the salt line near

four furnaces runs five pans
(making a total Of twenty pans)
which are ten feet long, forty !

Decay of the House of

The Cincinnati Chronicle
says: LOUIS Kossuth is o.
opinion that the House 0.
lIapsburg, or, rather, Austria
is drawing to an end. He
thinks that the German ;proviu.
ces of Austria will join the
German Confederation, and the
Sclavonic provinces will lean
to the protection Of Russia
He is more than ever convinced
that Hungary should be an in.
dependent State, and be the
barrier between Russia and
Germany. In this connection
he says:
IF Hungary allows herself
to be the tool Of the House Of
dapsburg she will be LOST
Upper and Lower Austria,
with Vienna, must become a
part Of the German Empire.
The House Of Hapsburg will
then count on Hungary to save
its waning strength. If Hun
gary puts herself forward at
this juncture to oppose Ger
man unity, she will, like Po-
land, be cut up and parceled
out to her neigbbors, 1t is iher
inevitable destiny. Even tlis,

the track this morning at daylight,
noticed that he was not feeling in ms
accustomed spirits. His skin was
tight, Notwithstanding he ran two
miles in ten minutes before the race;
he hardly raised a sweat. Second,
why was he allowed to run this two
miles around the track, and half way
round and hack, Just before entering
on four mile racer In reality, Long
fellow run six miles. Horsemen are
amazed at Harper's seeming lack OF
foresight, but do not doubt his integ-
rity. Third, was il fair race? CUES
tions are being asked on this point.
There Is not the shadow OF a doubt
that Harper acted religiously and in
the highest good faith. he was afraid
to even trust his old rider, Bob Swim,
a white bow, on, for he might be tritied
with. and he so believed. Though
he was not so good a rider he
could trust Joe Black, q boy
whom he had raised himself; but,
70 make assurance doubly sure, ne
did not let inferior Joe out OF hif
sight for six days preceding the race
Fourth, John Harper lost forty thou
