Fear Not.

Fear NOT. Men may frown, and men may scoff-
 Fear not If you cast all weakness off, Taking sides with Right and Truth, Victory will come forsooth-
 Fear notl Life is not all sunny skies
 Fear not Often in the dark cloud lies Brightest sunshine. III is good Oft, when rightly understood
 Fear not! Proudest monuments are those
 Fear not Which from noble actions rose; All brave men may build them high, Crowned with flowers that never die
 Fear not Courage is the good mans shield
 Fear not Cowardice can never yield Honors which we all would wear; Cowardice begets despair
 Fear not! Shun the evil, seek the right
 Fear not Truth is honor, truth is might; Firmly stand by all that's true; Scorn the false. In all you do,
 Fear not! Fear was never made for those
 Fear not Who the wrong and false oppose He who acts thus wins the prize, Life immortal in the skies
 Fear not

Madly in Love with Alexis.

The Omaha Bee, has tie following singular story Among the passengers on the regular train from St. Louis was well-dressed and well-appearing lady, who made inquiries as to the where abouts of the Grand Duke. On learning, she expressed good deal of regret at not having arrived sooner, and so con- ducted herself as to cause inquiry. It was learned that she belongs in small town near St. Louis, and is maiden lady of some twenty-six Summers, who has conceived the singular infatuation that she is the destined wife of the Grand Duke Alexis. She attempted to take passage on the ducal train when it left St. Louis, but was prevented. She final and arrived here only few hours be- hind the one on which Alexis rode. She expressed a determination of goi. with curing seat in the Pullman cars. She belongs to il good family, and has plenty of means to carry out her whim of fol lowing his highness over the country, but so far her devotion has met with no reward, Alexis not deigning to bestow upon her single glance. She IS not discouraged however, but seems conf dent in the ultimate result of her mis- sion, and, as it is leap-year, she does not have that modesty in pursuit of her ob. ject that is usual with maidens of an un, certain age. She first met the Duke al his reception in St. Louis, and to use 6 common phrase, she has been "struck' after him ever since. She says she vii
 only desist when he shall make her the Grand Duchess. She remained at the Ninth street depot all the time Alexis was uptown, patiently waiting for his return. There is little doubt but she is a monomaniac upon this subject, anG should be taken care of. The railroad authorities will do their best to return her to St. Louis by the next train.

How SALT LAKE CITY IS IRRIGATED

How SALT LAKE CITY IS IRRIGATED. The city of Salt Lake, which has pop ulation of about fifteen thousand, is so laid out that the streets, at right angles with each other, coincide with the cardi- nal points of the compass ; and of the one hundred and eighty blocks thus formed, each one contains a plot of ten acres, while this square is again subdivi- ded by lines crossing at the centre, into four corner building lots, or two and a quarter acres each. The streets are broad and without pavement Between the carriage-way and the sidewalk is a shallow ditch filled with running water, which surrounds every block in the city, and serves to irrigate the gardens and lawns which are the charm of the town This water is brought from the noun tains and distributed at the highest point of the city during the season, and when winter approaches it is turned in another direction, to prevent the inconvenience of it's freezing in the street.

SALT OF NEvADA-Nevada is capable of supplying the world with salt. It abounds in salt springs, salt marshes, and salt mountains, and great plains where the evaporation of ages has left deposits of salt almost 1llimitable in extent For mining purposes, the salt of these depos- it requires onlyto be shovelled into sacks and transported to the place of use. For table and dairy purpose it is not quite equal to Eastern salt. It contains a slight per cent. of impurity, which would have to be removed by re-evaporation or some refining process to render it ,uar- ketable for domestic use. This may not be the case with all the deposits of this character in the State, but applies to such of them as have been worked. Within fifty miles of Reno, and not. more than one mile from the railroad, are some of the finest salt springs in the world. One gallon of water will evaporate three pounds of the very best quality of this salt.

BeniAmiu Franklin.

Horace Greeley at the ded1cation of the Franklin statue in New York, said {: If were required to say for which oi Franklin's achievements he deserved most and best of mankind, I should award the palm to his autobiography so frank, so sunny, so irradiated by a brave, blithe, hearty, humanity. For if our fathers had not-largely by the ai2 of his counsel, his labors, his sacrifices achieved their independence at the first effort, they would have tried it again and again until they did achieve it; if of the identity of electricity with the lightning, that truth would nevertheless have at length been demonstrated but if he had net so modestly and sweetly told us how to wrestle with poverty and compel opportunity, do not know who beside would or could have done it so well. There is not to-day, there will not be in this nor in the next century, a friendless, humble orphan, working hard for naked daily bread, and glad to inn prove his leisure hours in the corner of a garret, whom that biography will not cheer aud strengthen to fight the battle of life buoyantly and manfully. I wish some humane tract society would present copy of it to every poor lad in the United States. But l must not -detain you. Let me sum up the character of Franklin in the fewest words that will serve me. I love and revere him as a journeyman printer who was frugal and didn't drink a porvedu who rose from want to competence, from obscrrity to fame without losing his head ; states man who did not cruc1fy mankind with long winded documents or speeches a diplomatist who d1d not intrigue 8 phi losopher who never loved and an office holder who didn't steal. So regarding him, I respond to your sentiment with "Honor to the memory of Franklin
