About Salt Lsake.- !

A correspondent of the Baltimore
American, writing from Salt Lake City,
says: e"The city of Salt Lake is at the
foot OF the range of the Wahsatch Noun
talns, and extends somewhat on the up.
land pain. a long valley lies beyond.
atfording fine cultivation for those am
bilious to extend their farms and gar
dens beyond the city suburbs, The
mountains rise like the sides of q basin.
containing in many places deep riffs of
snow upon which the suns rays have no
visible effect. The most attractive fea-
ture about the city is their method .of
irrigation. A mountain stream is turned
from its natural course, to form clear.
beautiful brooks, flowing over pebbIy
beds, on either side Of the, streets.
swhich are themselves one hundred and
thirty three feet wide. The old houses
are adobe, but many fine buildings
are noticeable, and judging from the
freshness of their appearance, the CITY
must have greatly changed in the past
few years. 1t lis now laid out in wards.
twenty In number, of eight blocks each.
Every ward has a bishop presiding over
it, subject to the chief of the council of
bishops. This arrangement. accounts
for the entire absence Of beggars. The
tabernacle stands on one of the princi.
pal streets; adjoining it the foundation
OF the new temple, which, If ever CON-,
pleted, will be very elegant. On the
same street are the Lion House, and Bee
Hive-homelike, comfortable buildings
and the prominent houses of the pres
ldent. Still further on is the family
sehool-house. A solid stone wall en-.
closes nll these buildings, leaving the
stranger to wonder what such q life can
be, for. =, a-signsof animation reveals
its workings to the outer world. On
the opposite side of the street Brigham
Young is building spacious residence
valued ut one hundred Thousand dollars.
Houses of other wives are scattered
about In the neighborhood, and the neat
little cottoge of Ann Eliza stands va
cant. They tell us there are eighteen la
dies who answer to the name of Mrs.
Young In Salt Lake, and others in the
towns throughout the Territory. Mrs.
Amelia Young is an adept in the very
important art of nursing and is also an
educated lady, and this is key to all
that is mysterious about Mormon
women. As class they are not educa-
ted, and they certainly do not belong to
the order of fine ladies. They come
from laboring class of people, where
labor means hard and continuous tell,
with no time or thought TO devote to
the ssrefinements of life. Some were
peasant girls from European countries
to whom higher wages out Mt service
was the lnducement offered. They do
not look like happy women, and the
natural inference is that they arc not;
but they zealously defend their mode of
life because they consider it part of
their religion, and there is no bigotry
SO difficult to overcome as that founded
upon religious CONVICTIONS"

:" Yes, Sir, she does, said the young

"Will you take this little boy so that

"Good,by, then, my boy" sud the

Perhaps he told his brown-eyed chill

The young girl led the way upstairs

have done honor to seraph, s'here's Mr..

hair in it, but lost that; but he's got
lots more on his head. Don't be mad,
Wosie."
He added the last entreaty in conse-

he had never seen there before.
The young ladies giggled; how could

The tears rose mp SO thick in Wosie's

The arasshopper Army.

To the thousands Of our readers who
have for the past fow years. and especi-
ally few months, heard and read of the
grssshopper, the mighty spoiler of the
husbandman's labors, but who have
never seen or heard described the ap-
pearance and nature of the pestiferous
insect, it may be that q picture of the
creature and it's doings would not be
uninteresting. When the grasshoppers
originally appeared in the northwestern
states to any damaging degree, num-
ber of years since, they first attracted
attention by their numbers, appearing
as they did before the astonished far
mer in countless millions, not as the
innocent and harmless creatures which
had hoped before his sickle in the
grass ever since he was boy, but rs
dangerous, ravenous aud devouring
army of innumerable pigmy enemies.
They came in swarms, darkening the
heavens as far rs the eye could reach,
and alighting upon the green field like
q black shroud, and only leaving it
when nothing verdant remained out of
their myriad stomachs. They were not
near as largo as we're the domestic grass
hoppers, neither green in color, but n
brownish colored insect, of half tho size.
They hoped with all the power of the
old green specimens, but when it came
to using their wings the "old inhabit-
ant" grasshoppors were nowhere. The
invaders (early named the raiders ~
were very easles in miniature, and would
on still day soar from ruined corn
field directly toward the sun and away
from human vision. People not expert
enced i'll the devastating propensities of
these pests can scarcely believe that so
small an insect, and one hitherto looked
upon 80 lightly as powerless inhabit-
ant of the farm. can do the harm which
has been ascribed to them. But they
can do mighty thil gs on account of their
numbers. 1t can hardly be credited
that they come in sun-darkening clouds
and cover the meadows, fields and roads
to tho depth of from one to five inches
of wrlggling and hungry life, but they
do. 1t can hardly be believed that they
light upon the fences, and gnaw away
at the bonrds and posts with such as-
siduity that they leave them looking
haggled and SCARED, but they do. II
can hardly be understood that they will
stop team by driving like q hail storm
in the horses faces. that they crush by
hundreds under the feet which step
among them, and even stop railroad
trains, with their grease when run over
on up-grades, but it is tru'. Any farm
er in the infested region who is expert
enced in their ravages will affirm these
apparently extreme statements to be on
ly tame facts in the presence of the ac
tual "raiders" Egyptian plague oi

bandmen of the whole northwest. =

Courage and self-contrel.

OF students who begin term with
aigh aims, how many year after year
fail TO fulfill them, not from want of
opportunity, but from want of resolu-
ton The poet Cowper was once con-
suited by his friend, Mr.. Unwin, about
some mans character. GAIL I know"
he wrote, Z" about him is, that I saw
him once clap his two hands upon n
rail, meaning to leap over it; but he
did not think tho attempt safe one.
and so took them off again." This
story typifies the career of not few
who pror lised something better. Let
me counsel you to keep your hand upon
the rail, even if you fail to clear it at
the first leap, or, at all events, only to
remove it in order to try humber
height. You are often exhorted to
aim high that you may secure lower
mark
"Who aimeth at the sky
Shoots higher much than he that means a
tree"
But am not sure that it is not wiser
to select for the immediate mark, how
ever ambitious your ultimate hopes NAV
be, something fairly within your power,
and pertinaciously to strive until YOU
hit it.
Tho attempt to substitute moral
suasion for corporeal punishment ip the
government OF puols in the public
schools of Chicago has been entirely
successful. Tho report of the school
board dwells upon this fact with par
donrble complacency. Last year there
were fewer suspensions, in proportion
to the attendance than ever before.
Nine schools, having sn average attend
ance of 6, 800, report no suspensions and
no corporeal punishment. Six schools,
with an Attendance of $500, report one
suspension each.

County Papers.

We find in one of our exchanges the fol,
lowing truthful observations concerning
county papers, and the duty of giving them
a wholesome support
The local paperis an absolute necessity to
the country and community where It's pub
lished. All the city papers cannot supply
the place OF the home paper. That should
be the first love of every man aud woman,
for with the paper is the locality indenti.
fed The paper gives the county and
town where printed much of their impor-
lance in the world, and gives in detail the
local news, which cannot be gained by any
other source. Every days Issue of the
paper is so much local history, aud the
rise, growth and development of the town
and country can be measured aud recorded
only by the local newspaper that constant,
~ is gathering its items. People do not
properly appre ciate their home newspapers
They measure the value of Il newspaper
too much by the number OF columns it con
tains. The home paper, at any price, is
the cheapest paper one can take, tor III II
is found the information to be obtained
from no other source.
Another thing to be taken into consider
alton, Every county has one or more
newspapers. Hence the circulation OF
each paper must be limited. There i:
therefore the greatest need of activity and
interest on the part of the people to give
their own home paper vigorous and sub
stantial support

The late elections have been won by the
solid vote of the Democrats of all shades
opinion, assisted by thousands of Republi
cans who detest and abhor the very thought
of abetting the foolish and criminal schemes
entertained by men of the Voorhees, and
Andrew johnson class. The immense
popular majority thus obtained cannot tie
kept intact by merely calling it Democrat,
ic, and saying that it means Free Trade and
Hard Money. We shall see after while
what it is to mean practically. AT present
it means simply that the people have had
enough of such an administration as that
given US by Gen. Grant and the Repub /
can leaders. 1t will not take two years to
find out whether Voorhees, is stronger than
Mcdonald in Indiana; whether Mr. Ill
den or Dick Schell represents the New
York Democracy; whether Mr. thurman
or Washington Mclean speaks for the De-
moclacy of Ohio whether the Bayards or
the Bogys have the South behind them.
The evil cannot be cured by denying its eX-
istence, The intelligent and honest Demo
Gratis, of the Tilden and Thurman school,
have their chief foes and must recognize
their chief danger in their own household
The success of their avowed principles de
ponds entirely upon the vigor and energy
which they display in getting the upper
hand of the dishonest and ignorant ee-
ments in their own party There is no
danger SO great as compromise. There is
"A vast floating vote of thousands of thought
full men held by slight thread of habit to
the Republicans, who will vote for the OPP
position two years hence if their candidates
and their avowed principles are the better
But the mere name of Democracy will dc
nothing to attract or deter them. N \

ishly, without trick, fraud or cuhning, !
and select the man who in their judy
ment would, if elected, do the most for
reform without any newspaper con-
troversy about fitness, popularity, &c.
Well, it is not so, and perhaps it is all
right and proper,
All men who don't believe that pick
pocketing is honorable, it seems to me
must desire the defeat Of Dunnell
The masses of the agricultural voters
are in dead earnest for reform, and if
true, earnest reformers are nominated,
they will sweep everything before them
in all the counties in this District-Con-
gresham, members Of the Legislature,
and county officers; and inaugurate a
genuine reform; but if Owatonna
is miscarriage; and half.caste reform
er is nominated, the farmers will become
discouraged and they will let many
things go by default.
There is no doubt in the minds Of the
farmers in this part of the district of
Governor Sherwcod's ability. industry,
honesty and devotion to the cause OF
reform, and there should not be. And
I think the farmers and genuine re-
! formers in the west part of the district

think they should have. Now assum-
ing that Gov. Sherwood and Judge
Waite can either be elected and are both
true men, which should we nominate
I unhesitatingly say. Sherwood. All
admit Waite to be good Judge; then
why not keep him where he is. or, put
him higher on the bench? An honest.
able, good Judge is something about as
important for the people as good Rep
resentatiye. Sherwood is younger
man than Judge Waite; he has given
the subject of reform more attention
than any man III the district, and to
day is better posted and more thor.
oughly in earnest and lastly, he has
done more to arouse spirit Of reform
in the farmer, and to give them hope
and courage, than any ten men in south
eastern Minnesota. It seems to me
that gratitude for past services and, the
absolute necessity for reform in our pub
lie affairs, designate Sherwood as the
man for the farmers to rally around
this fall. A FARMER.
