John, of the New York Sun, has been to
Salt Lake. He writes therefrom, amusingly,
as follows:
The city is situated in the loveliest valley
ever saw, overshadOwed by the Wahsatch
capped with snow the year around. The
climate is wonderfully mild About two
miles from the centre of the city, and
owned by it, is warm sulphur
spring. Swimming bath houses have been
erected, and a swim in that sulphur water
is positive luxury. Still farther out from
the city are the hot springs. An egg will
cook in the water in four minutes. So will
two eggs. Uncle Samuel has a military
camp near the city. There is one very large
business house here. 1t is called lions Co
operative Mercantile Institution.
Salt Lake is some miles from the city. l
visited it. The name is apropos. 1t isn't
necessary to embalm man to make him
keep if he has ever been soaked in that
water. One teaspoonful once day, taken
internally, would turn a man into cOrned
beef in less than a week. Mashed potatoes,
dropped into the lake, come up Goldfish balls
inside of three minutes, and an old boot leg
becomes a mackerel in two hours. Three
barrels of that water make one barrel of
salt-that is, according to chemical analysis.
My judgment, unsupported, would lead me
to suppose, from tasting it, that one barrel
of water would make three barrels of salt.
Its buoyancy is remarkable. Mr.. B,
of z. C. M. Institution says that he has
walked out into the lake until he has had
fifty feet of water under him, and he sank
only to his waist. Mr.. B also informed
me that in disrobing he accidentally dropped
his stockings; he walked out into the lake,
sat down and made a clothes line of his
toes, hung his stockings on 'em, and sat
there till they dried. l remarked, that must
have been when he was a buoy; but he said
no.
There is man out here he is jeweler.
He is the very fellow who made the welkin

THE SCHNEIDER INVESTIGATION.

The worst examined man IN this country
to-day is our remarkable Administrator of
Finance, the gentleman who SO despised
politics and effice-holdIng that the COM
munity had to PROSTATE itself before him In
the dust, so to speak, before he would deign
to permit his name to be used as candi-
date, and who, even after he was elected,
could scarcely he induced to take his seat.
Without referring to the record we could
not state accurately just how many times
he has been examined, but 1T has been often
enough. in all conscience. and the charges
that he has been compelled to meet. and
forced to acknowledge, have been such as
would have induced any other Officeholder
that we know of, to resign his position at
once, rather than submit to reprimand
from his colleagues and bear the almost I'M
divided censure of the press.
The grocery irregnlarity," the small
pox hospital irregularity," the license tax
"iIregularity," the metropolitan warrant
irreguIalty," the unindorsed certificates
irregularity," it would appear were lrregu-
larities enough to make any man Of ortf-
nary sensitiveness desire to return to the
peaceful shades of private life. But not
such their effect upon Mr.. Schneider, he
calls for examinations, he demands ventlia-
tions, and 10 when these are had, he stands
convicted by his own admissions.
The public in amazement are expecting
the Council to impeach the Administrator,
but their amazement Is augmented by de
mand for another examination. We share
the public wonder at these unexampled pro-
ceedings, and we are at loss as to what
this last committee is expected to do
Is it simply to revise the testimony which
was taken before the Council committee
and pronounce Judgment That would be
absurd, for gentlemen equally competent
have already sifted that testimony, and the
admissions of the administrator himself
prove the material charges made.
There is one thing, only one thing, that
the committee can do which will be Of ser
vice now, and that is to institute careful
examination into the books of the Finance
Department for, say as far back as 1870. In
order to do this, however, thug will have to
employ an expert some one who is not only
a good book. keeper, but is also familiar
with the manner i'm which the hooks of the
city have been kept.
The gentlemen composing the committee
are w A. Bell, Ed. Booth. Charles Fitz and
Henry Shepherd-all very excellent men,
but, if we are not misintormed, quite at sea
rs to the real purposes for which they were
selected.
We kno that the public is heartily tired
of the whole matter, and for ourselves we
think that if Mr.. Schneider is determined to
occupy his office in the face Of all the dis
closures which have been made, and if the
Administrators decline to impeach him, the
sooner it is understood the better.

The Stuff That Poems are Made OF.

During the war, or shortly after its close,
Mr.. Whittier wrote the poem of Barbara
Frietchie" It carved heroine out of the
old dame as she defiantly Haunted the stars
and stripes in the face Of the Confederates
as they marched through the town of Fred
erickstown, Maryland, and, at the same
time, raised poetic monument of deathless
horror to Stonewall Jackson. The incident
which this poem was written to commemor-
ate now turns out to be a mere invention
The St. Louis Republican says:
A niece of old Dame Barbara has written
to some Eastern paper to say that the halo
of patriotic glory which has shOne around
the head and heart and memory of her aunt
is all matter Of mOonshine. Dame Bar
bara did not hang a flag out Of the window
while Jackson and his troops were passing
through fredericksburg, the Confederates
did not shoot the flag away, and she did not
lean out of the window like a jolly old
defiantly, while she dared the boys in gray
to fire at it or at herself. Consequently,
this being the case, Stonewall Jackson did
not sternly order his men not to fire
at the old lady, and the historic
picture which thousands have loved to
look upon as speck of light amid the black
horror of the war, fades out and leaves
nothing but frame Of ridiculous humor
behind. The truth is, as Dame Barbara's
niece explains, there were some Confederate
soldiers on the old lady's porch ard she
came out, as mad as a hornet, and stirred
them up with poker or something of that
character, and they left. That was all there
was in it, according to the truth of history,
as giving by the truth-lovlng niece of old
Dame Barbara. Already it is going the
rounds of the humorous columns of the
daily press as a good thing on Frietchie,
and may, in time become second only in it's
popularity to the tradition of Georges little
Ratchet.

A Curious Point In Divorce.

A peculiar case of alimony, which has
been for some time before the New York
courts, is attracting much attention. 1t
| seems that a Mrs. Jeanette G. Anderson
was first married to Mr.. Joseph Giraud. from
whom she was afterwards divorced, and the
court awarded her alimony at the rate Of
$672 so yearly. She then married Mr.. Thorn
as G. Shepherd, and was again unfortunate
in choice, as she was obliged to get divorce
from him, and the court awarded her $4,000
alimony against him. Thus her total in
come from the two sources was $5672 so.
For the third time she took the risks Of
matrimOny with Gen. C. L. Anderson, a
revenue officer at Charleston, S. c., who
has an income of $500 year. But her
second husband now asks that as she has
found another source of income, he be re-
lieved from her support, notwithstanding
this second husband, during his alliance
with her, drew his alimeny regularly from
the FIRST husband.
On the 10th inst, after very long and
learned speeches by counsel, the court de-
cided that Mrs. Anderson il entitled to ali
mony from both of her former lords.
This is not pleasant prospect for the
male sex. The women who now announce
that they are eager for employment will
embark with enthusiasm on the new voyage
to Eldorado whittier Mrs. Anderson leads
the way The only consolation of unpro-
tected. males must be that these persons
mostly stand idle because no man hath mar
ried them, and that the prospect Of their
getting as many husbands as Mrs. Anderson
is cheerfully remote.

Beauty and style are not the surest pass
ports to respectability- of the noblest
specimens of womanhOod that the world has
ever seen have presented the plainest and
most unprepossessing appearance. A
woman's worth is to be estimated by the
real goodness Of her heart, the greatness of
her soul, and the purely and sweetness of
her character; and woman with kindly
disposition, and Unbalanced mind and
temper, is lovely and attractive, be her face
ever so plain and her figure ever 80 homely ;
she makes the best of wives and the truest
OF mothers. She has higher purpose in
hving thin the beautiful yet vain aud
supercilious woman, who has no higher am
bitiOn than to flaunt her fnery on the
street, or to crafty her inordinate vanity by
exacting fattery and praise from society
whose compliments are as hollow as thew are
insincere.

"She loved him for himself" Perhaps
that wasn't her fault. But the fact was he
had nothing else to be loved for. She mar
ried him. And she loved him for himself.
Hs gave her not so much as single dollar
to aid on her love. Last week he returned
home full of whisky as barrel, and under
took to assert his manly sway in too violent
a way. In fact, he deliberately punched
her in the eye. This was what turned her
love to gall and made her take up the wash
board, on which she earned her own and his
support, and belabor him with it until
there was very little of the board left, and
his head looked like pumpkin which boys
had been using as football. Now he earns
living for himself and wife, and she doesn't
love him at all. Such are some of the in
consistercies of the human feminine.

The HEIR OF MALREwARD OR RESTORED.
By the author of "Son and Heir" etc.
Philadelphia j. B. Lippincott & Co. New
Orleans: Kahn & Co.
An intensely interesting story of English
life. The plot is simple yet well conceived /;
the characters few but finely contrasted,
and vigorously delineated, portraying the
inner as we'll as the onter life, and showing
keen insight into the mysteries of human
nature. Leaning to the Radical side in the
social and religious questions Of the day,
the miseries of hasty, ill-considered, unequal
marriages under English law where the hus-
band is lord and master, are powerfully por-
trayed.
The moral tone is exceptionally pure and
elevated. The hero, by life of stern self
sacrifice and devotion to a noble purpose,
living down the ancestral curse " which
has descended to him through long line
of bad men raising the tenants of a vast
estate from condition of wretched poverty
to one of comfort and happiness; restoring
the dilapidafed mansion to its ancient
splendor, and fulfilling in himself the old
family Legend" The last of his name shall
save himself and his house, and the end
shall be peace and righteousness
