ny the construction of the
Utah Central, and she now lies mt
the wharf, her only value being her aid
IN making our imaginary ocean seem
more real. How this great basin Of
salt water came to be deposited in the
interior OF the continent has been II
study for geographers and naturalists.
The water is so densely saline that IL is
impossible for body to find the bot
tom. Ii isa capital place to acquire
the art OF swimming with perfect
safety. In former times three barrels
OF water left to evapornte would pro-
duce one barrel of salt; but the freshen-
ing within the last twenty years has so
weakened it that now four barrels of ii
are required to obtain that quantity.
1t has become fresh, therefore, fin
proportion of somewhat more
than one per cent yearly. Hence
1t follows that in less than one
hundred years the name of Great Salt
Lake should be changed; ;or 10y this
time it will, like Murmonism, be
cleared OF all its impurities. | have
previously noticed the regular water
lines, called benches, which are SO dis
timely defined on all the mountain
ranges surrounding these various val
legs, and which afford such unmistak-
able evidence that in former days they
enclosed vast island seas. The deep
alkaline soil of the bottoms has led to
the supposition that these seas were of
salt water, and that all of them except
ing this have been completely evapor-
ated Salt Lake being the sole survivor,
and that being destined to dwlndle to
a puddle and then to dry up for ever.
But the last part of this theory is mega
tived by the evident intention of the
lake to assume somewhat of its orig-
nal proportions; while it Is becoming
tresher, it is growing larger. Within
the twenty-seven years that the coun-
try around it has been settled, it has
encroached all along its low banks
nearly mile upon the land and deep
ened five feet. Several fine farms are
now permanently under water, aud
the road on which we travel has been
removed far inward to accommodate
its aggressiveness. At The same time
that this change is going ON, atmos-
pheric cuases for part of it are appa-
rent The climate is coming more
mild, although it is excessively dry.
But each succeeding season brings u
greater rainfall. This has doubled with
in twelve years. = "Ihrough Utah."

Symptoms of Il Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right SIDE, under the

LETT sidej the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top OF the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for 4 rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general arc costivc,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
III the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
eompanied with a painful sensation
OF having left undcne something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tentant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his fee, are cold or burning,
and he complains Of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
ard although he is satisfied that excr-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitudc
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
OF them existed, yet examination of

WATCHMAN.
A Trip to California.

Most of the mining businesss in Cali
tornia is now operated by the hydraulic
method. Whole mountains are washed
into the rivers through the fumes and
tunnels. The water is sometimes
brought in canals, as far as fifty miles in
order to keep the source high above
the fumes. The earth from the high
hills is removed to the head of the
fumes, in large quantities by machinery
and other means. Sometimes they tun-
mel the mountains and explode several
kegs Of blasting powder int hem, thereby
crumbling them SO that the earth can
be removed to the fumes more easily.
The water is conducted to the fumes in
large pipes, and with immense force,
and thus the dirt containing stones and
very minute particles Of gold is carried
rapidly through n the fumes. By the
time it arrives at the tunnel. the water
and dirt become thoroughly mixed. On
the bottom of the tunnel stones are
placed in a singular manner as in the
old stone pavemen:s in Boston and
New York. The gold being heavy
settles to the bottom, and lodges in the
crevices between the stones, while every
thing else is washed to the river. Af-
ter operating for six months or longer,
they have cleaning up and the gold is
collected by means of quick silver. If
they have rich gathering the stock of
the mine will advance. I visited the
Enterprise mine at Smartsville, and ex-
amined the fume and tunnel, the for
mer 600 feet in length and the latter
l% miles, I gained much information
relative to mining from Mr.. Hedges the
Superintendent and from Mr.. Townsend
from Washington, Maine, who very
kindly spent two hours with me explain
ing all the details.
The water of the Feather river is
muddier than any other river that I
have ever seen, not excepting that Of
the Maimi river in Ohio. This is owing
to the immense amount of dirt that is
continually being washed into the river
from the mining sections. This has
been accommodating for years, and the
bed of the river in many places is as
high or higher than much of the land
over the banks and levees, consequently
during a high freshet, the ranches near
the river are frequently all under water,
and sometimes to such depth as to
drown sheep and hogs in large numbers.
My friend, MIR. Eastman, has ranch
of $500 acres, lying on the east side of
the Feather river, bordering on the
river for about five miles to the junction
of the Bear river with the Feather.
About 700 acres of this ranch is in tim
Der. Were it not for these overAows
these ranches, and particularly the one
of my friend would be of great value
for farming purposes. The land is as
beautiful as any that / have ever seen,
and is of great fertility, owing in a
measure to the sediment left upon the
land by the overdows, resembling some
the condition of the land in Egypt, after
the overflow of the Nile.r Some of the
land is SO fiat, that it does not drain in
season for crop. In 1876 they raised
at this ranch, 1876, ,o0obushels of grain be-

Liszt's Playing.

One lady of rank, a, whose house
Liszt was spending the evening com
mitted the extreme indiscretion Of ask
ing him to play, a violation Of all rules
of etiquette among great musical artists.
He had been enchanting her guests with
his divine music in the earlier part OF
the evening, and had just come in from
supper, when she preferred her request.
Madame, al mango tres peu, was his
answer ("Madame, [ have eaten very
little and, with this implication Of
having played out the worth of his sup

elements only prove him to be what he
is at the piano-haltdemon, hali-angel
If his mood happens to be a gloomy one,
bis fingers fly about as il he had de-
moniae imp at the end Of each one His
playing becomes almost internal in its
wild passionate power, and he looks fur.
lively at his audience with malicious
expression Of delight ard triumph,
watching the effect he produces. This
is his demon side At other times
he will play with the deepest pathos,
touching the keys so carelessly, so
tenderly, so weepingly, that | have
seen men listenIwithltears running down
their cheeks. And yet, when he rises
from the piano not sound is heard
He is too great to be applauded. He
does not need it, He merely walks
quietly away from the instrument, wait

selfpossession enough to speak, and then
perhaps the first break in the silence
will be a long deep-drawn sigh, and "How
grandl" spoken in an undertone OF awe.

better--and makes no concealment OF
his own opinion. / have heard that
upon one occasion lady asked him

And his answer was most commendable
in its engaging frankness: Madame, ]
