The Pyramids and the SnIlYnX.

Bayard Taylor thus speaks of them
after his second visit, recently made
We crossed the track of the railway,
drove beside it for mile or two further,
and then struck directly across the level
lands toward that rocky terrace of the
Libyan Desert, which serves as base
for the Pyramids. Children ran beside
the carriage clamoring for money, and
one or two boys, laboring under the sin
g1llar delusion that they were contribu-
ting to our pleasure, played the reed
flute after q most weary and DISTRESSING
fashion. But there was less annoyance
from these causes than you generally
meet in Italy, or even some parts of
Switzerland Nearer the desert, there
were belts Of drifted sand across the
road, and the wheat and clover, after
struggling briefly with their ancient en-
envy, ceased on either side. It was so
difficult for the horses to climb the last
slope that we dismounted and walked to
the nonthern base of the Great Pyramid
on the top of which a little flag was fiut-
tering, and two OF three dark forms were
perceptible. The modern house, built
for the reception of his royal and i'm
perial guests, offers to all visitors the
advantage of shade and cold steps to sit
on. A crowd Of Fellahs was in attend
ance, eager to help us up and down, to
climb both pyramids in ten minutes, OF
to sell us modern scarabei. They are

have a fair smattering Of English, their
demands are regulated by custom, and

although it was we'll worth doing once.
A crawl into the hot and sitting interior
can only be recommended to the archeo-
logist. The grand, simple masses built
by Cheops and Cephrenes satisfy both
the eye and the imagination when viewed

their bases. The best point, [ think, is

The Bear Like Monster.
From the Salt Lake City News.

By courtesy of President Brigham
Young, we are enabled to print the fol-
lowing letter, which, from the known
veracity of it's writer, is sufficient to
extinguish all doubts as to the existence
of the monster which has so long been
supposed to inhabit the waters of Bear
Lake, Rich county:
'PARIs, Oneida Co., Idaho, May Is,
1874.
President Brigham Young:
DEAR BROTHER Last Friday morn
ing, May 15, on our return from Con
ference, William Broomhead, Milando
Pratt, and myself were in a light
wagon, travelling northward by the lake
shore, when our attention was attracted
to an object In the water about 100
yards ahead Of us, and about twenty
five yards from shore. At first sight
we thought it might be a very large
duck, as we distinctly saw ducks nearer
the shore, but as we got near we saw
that it was an animal, the head and q
portion of the back about a foot from
the head being visible, leaving also
about the space of foot between the
back part of the head and the
beginning OF the back where the
animal was not visible, the invisible
part, no doubt, being the neck. When
we were within about seventy yards. the
animal dived under the water, and from
it's action we judged it was not more
than five or six feet long; still, we did
not see it's length. When it went down
we stopped our wagon and waited,
hoping it would come up again, which
it did in perhaps about minute, lit
tie behind us and probably twenty-five
yards from shore. It's face and part OF
its head were distinctly seen, covered
with fur, or short hair of light snuff
color. The face of the animal was ap
parently fat, very wide between the
eyes, and tapering to the nose, will
very full, large eyes, and prominenr
ears, resembling those of horse, bu
scarcely as long. The whole face, IL
shape, was Like that of fox, but SC

large that the space between the eyes
equaled that of the distance between
the eyes of common cow. It did not
look ferocious, and was in no hurry to
go, but kept moving slowly, then, div
ing again, came up and moved off into
the lake as fast as a man could walk.
AS there has been considerable in
terest excited in regard to the Bear
Lake monster. [ submit description
of what we have seen, thinkingit might
be acceptable to you. Very respect
fully, WILLIAM bulge.

A DERANGED stomach and impure

A DERANGED stomach and impure
blood force human beings into a melancholy
state; they do not enjoy life and are not in a
tit condition to do business successfully One
OF the best remedies extant is VEGETINE,
which has acquired a reputation as wide as the
country Itself, and is extensively known all
over the globe. This remedy has been extern
slvely advertised, but it's cures have sold it at
more rapid rate than the newspapers. The
latter serve to bring it to public notice. but like
all medicines or inventions it has been found
to stand the test of trial and time and it's rapid
sale shows how strong hold it has gained

English Children.

American men and women are ner-
vous, and naturally have nervous ch.l-
dren, Of slender physique, and easily
excited into precocious intelligence,
which is considered genius. Instead of
letting the little creature suck it's fists
and grow fat it is jumped, and danced,
and confused, and made to repeat like a
parrot. The English method of placing
young children in the hands Of expert
enced nurses and making them RESPONSE
BILE is much better. A large, airy nur-
sery at the top of the house; good,
clean, wholesome Belgian, Swiss Or Swe-
dish woman to take charge Of it; break
fast of oatmeal porridge and milk din
ners of roast OF boiled beef or mutton,
and rice pudding; tea of bread and
butter, milk and fruit, with no confec-
tionery or "pieces" between meals,
and no late visits or rides with mann
ma. In such quiet, uneventful at
mosphere the baby grows and thrives
best, the child is subject to less excite
ment, and with healthy and regular
habits, lays the foundation Of an ex-
ccellent constitution, while the mother
is not worn out by it's constant pres
ence, or made nervous by being con-
stantly harassed with giving directions
to ignorant and inexperienced nurses.
