INTERESTING LECTURE Capt. Saml Adams,
of Washington, d. c., delivered in the Meth
odst Church on Wednesday night last, one of
those interesting Lectures on his Explorations
in the Rocky Mountains aud Life among the
Mormons, which those Of our people who had
the pleasure Of hearing, will not soon forget
Capt Adams spent over five years in the
Rocky Mountains, and encountered seemingly
insurmountable obstacles in ascending and de-
scending the Colorado river. The country was
described as the grandest in the world and
rich in inexhaustibe mineral resources. The
speaker said the reason so little was known of
this country was because Of The interested mo-
tives Of those who knew better in withholding
or falsifying the facts. Capt. Adams exhibit
ed specimen of salt brought from Salt Lake
City, clear as crystal and hard as adamant-it
was easily soluble in water, and very strongly
mpregnated with saline matter. lie exhibited
specimen of rye grown in that Countrywide
grain plump and three or four times larger
than the rye grown in this section. We regret
that want Of time and space forbid our taking
a more extended notice Of this exceedingly in
teresting Lecture, but as Capt. Adams may be
here again in a short time TO repeat the Lee
ture, our people will have the opportunity OF
hearing for themselves.

GROWTH OF GREAT SALT LAKE
From Silliman's Journal.

The valley was settled in 1847. The level
of the lake is now twelve or fourteen feet
higher than it was then. From 1847 to 1862
there was no noticeable change. From 1859
to 1856 there was rise to the extent of about
six feet above the lowest level of the first
mentioned year. From 1856 to 1881 q gradu>
al subsidence took place, until, in the fall of
1861, the level was two feet below the lowest
mark of 1862, and the lake was contracted to
abou. ..,-ee- fOurths of its area in that year.
But from the spring of 1861 to 1868 there
went On steady rise; the lake extended to
once and half its area in 1861, and its sur.
face stood twelve feet above the carrier level.
Since that time the rise and fall have been
about equal, the tendency on the whole be.
ing to gain, the fuctuation not exceeding
two feet. As to the prospect of the future,
it is stated that the humidity of the atmOs.
phere annually increases as the area of cult.
vatiOn becomes greater, and as consequence,
the evaporation becomes less. On the other
hand the mountain streams are steadily ems
larging. Thousands of acres of farming,
meadow, and pasture lands have been sub
merged along the eastern and northern
shores of the lake. and many square miles of
valuable lands still occupied by the farmers
will be completely inundated should the wa.
tiers rise few inches above the level of the
past five years, unless protected by levees.
A monument has been recently placed near
the shore of the lake to Indicate the f1uctua>
tlons of the level. THIS will be watched
with great interest for the next few years.

UHNRY WARD BEECnER, in his Sunday
morning sermon on the 18th, chose for his
slbject Liberty in Religion" Below we
quote few thoughts:
"The Office Of the Church is to develop the
Interior nature of man, TO represent in him
the nature Of God. This gives it its only
value. Thus every Church is good that
makes Christian men, and every Church is
good that makes Christian men, and every
Church is worthless that does not. There is
no peculiar sanctity in any of them. Every
thing that tends to bring man to GOD is valu.
able in proportion to its success, and WORTH
less in proportion to its failure.
More than this, man has q right to de-
velop his christian charater without Church
at al. if be so chooses. DO undervalue the
Common school system when l applaud the
man who has gained IN education by stujy-
Jag tn his belly by the light of pine knot
whils his master and mistress are asleep? Not
at ALL The having an education is the main
thing not the manner Of gaining it. So
will the Spirit Of God II man has it,
it is no matter wethcr it came to him through,
the Catholics, or the Quakers, or anybody
else. Having it is the main thing.
''Now, l keep house IN my way, and my
neialbOr keeps house in another way. l
should consider it very bad manners in me to
critisise his housekeeping, and should Ger.
taink resent any intrusion of his into my
affairs. Yet the Baptists revile the Presby-
terians and the Presbyterians the Bsptlsts
andthe Episcopalians everybody. But God
has pot given monopoly of goodness to any
body The truth is, old things are passing
awaj and new creeds are becoming necessary.
Liberty IN holiness is hundred times safer
than liberty in politics. True orthodoxy is
in the heart, not in the head. You cannot
make religion in these days by establishing
a system of theology; but whatever brings
mal interiorly to God may have the authority
of a church. How long shall we make the
telt consist in organization? The true and
Only test is the amount Of Christian disposi-
th which it produces in the mass Of its mem
1ess."

The condition Of the money market, then,

that this condition OF things is essentially .

that is gong on must Of itself work out .
change for the better. Production continues
at the normal rate, and with the check given
to consumption surplus is constantly accum-
Mating Sooner or later, this surplus will
find its market. and with that business will
revive. Meantime, the business men of the
country are pursuing q course which will
