Cabinet on the 4th OF March is unalterably nxed
as that OF the Secretary Of State This declaration
II Is believed here, has been put forth to dsc0n-
cert the friends Of Mr.. Dawes, who Is looked upon
as the only competitor worth mentioning Mr..
Boutwell, now has, and It Is thereby hoped to make
the latters election certain. He is not only san.
guine OF success but the matter has gone so far IL
is asserted, that his successor has been deter
mined upon and expects to occupy the once OF
Secretary OF the Treasury promptly on the 5th Of
March, until which time the President hopes to
keep the name Of the future manager Of our ma
tional finances State secret.
Claim Agents I'm Great Grief.
The claim agents here are on the rampage,
Secretary Boutwell, having forbidden the disburs.
ing clerks to deduct their contingent fees from all
claims when paid. Heretofore this little arrange.
ment has enabled attorneys to extort large fees
from clients who had either to pay them or to wait
for their money until they would submit to the ex-
tortion.
Colonel william J. Hynes has arrived here with
his certificate Of election as Congressman at large
by 24e majority He was on the Greeley ticket, but
claims to be o republican, and urges the Attorney
General not to interfere in the politics Of Ar.
kansas. Judge Williams says that the President
will only order the national troops to act in case
he is oniciay asked to prevent collision.
The Report OF the lnvestigation Of the
Burning OF the Steamship Missouri
has been carefully examined, but does not in the
opinion Of Treasury ofcials give satisfactory clue
to the cause OF the Hre. The report OF court OF
inquiry now at Nassau does not stand the test OF
animation. In that report 1t was stated "that the
felting for the boilers found to be either want

A correspondent Of the N. Y
Observer, writing recently from Salt
Lake City, speaks Of the "city of
.ne Mormons" and of the mineral
resources of Utah as follows:
"Salt Lake will, WITHOUT doubt,
for many years 20 come, remain the
chief city between the Missouri Riv-
er and the Pacific Ocean ; it has the
start in population, and substantial
growth it also has the favorable
location and the surroundings, which
insure tor IL commanding influence,
and give to it a prestige which will!
not aoon pass away. 1t is surround
ed on all sides by mountains, con-
tanning rich deposits of valuable
ores, which are attracting more at
tention to-day, than any other min.
ing field on the American Continent :;
and the tracks of bullion on the
streets, and carloads OF precious ore
sbnut its storage rooms, would con-
vince even the most skeptical of flv.
ing visitors, that the reports about
the mineral wealth Of Utah are not
altogether chimerical
Professional miners and experts
say that the public has but little idea
OF the extent and richness of the de.
posts, which are yet to he deyel-
"ped and worked; that the rich
veins and lodes, which now look 80
inviting. are but the mere blossoms
OF what is yet to be uncovered.
Mlhers. proapecters. spectators.
and capitalists. are already on the
ground in large numbers our streets
are filled with men from all parts of
the globe, for our people are truly
ccumenicsl, all attracted here by the
magnetism of the coveted metals.
Buildings are springing up on every
hand, to supply the increasing de-
mands for husiness and dwelling
houses business men are investing
their capital, and making extensive
preparations 70 profit by the trade
consequent on the anticipated growth
Of the city. Men who have watch,
ca me signs OF the times" and
the change in the business, civil
political and moral status of Salt
Lake for the last two ar three years,
have no Stacey in predicting |
that from fifty to seventy-fve thou, |
sand people will, in all probability, /
have their homes here inside of three
years."

In a recent article writer says: In
fashion there are three kinds of American
women There is the kind that despis,s
everything foreign, and believes that Amer
lea is sufficient unto itself there is the
kind that believes in adopting whatever
is good and beautiful; there is the kind
that cntcrtains unspeakable contempt for
native productions, and a binl ido!atry for
Europe, right or wrong. The first pos
sesses more patriotism than wis lon; the
second combines artistic with common
sense; the third exhibits the worst phase
of flunkeyism, unrelievcd by either art or
wisdom. The hunkics always go abroad
and always come home with their heals
filled with folly and their trunks with
clothes. Clothes dy clothes, are good, but
when clothes are the best part of a woman
that woman is n failure, and when. in adj
diton to clothes being her better half-or
perhaps her three quartcrs-this fraction
of a woman attempts to force the rest of
her sex into scrvile worship of the gods
of her idolatry, she becomes an unmitiga-
tel nuisance, and ought to be cxtermina.cd.'
