As a grazing region, ii is generally
admitted by Western stock men Of
experience that Wyoming mas no
equal. Its superiority consists mainly
In this, hat the grass is more abund-
ant and of better quality, tine win
ters are milder and the snow fillS
less in our sheltered valleys than on
the elevated aud exposed plateaux
further south. Good Wates Is abuud-
ant in Wyoming and the climate j.
such that herds of all kinds of stock
keep perfectly healthy, and Tie ia
crease is remarkably rapid and GER
tain. Many have expressed the
opinion that the stock growing iu-
dustry OF Wyoming Is Of more iin-
portance TO her inhabitants Nthan al.
her gold and silver mines, rich n
they IN 1t is certain that the pccu-
culiar kind OF grass found here on our
plains and hill-sides is more uu-
tritious than Ohio timothy or the
best blue grass OF Kentucky. This
bunch or gratnma grass starts up
early in the spring, reaches maturity
In June and then cures where it
stands, retaining all its nutritive
qualities and constituting the finest
autumn or winter feed for stock that
nature has anywhere provided. 1t
no only grows in the valleys, but
covers the foothills and the bench
lands, and frequently reaches the
mountain tops, thus furnishing uu-
limited grazing throughout the year
on LANDS not available for other pur-
poses.

hence no ague occurs here. WyOm-

and Indiana. Our winters are
usually warmer and far p~leaSantcr
than those Of Illinois or P~enusylva-

siderable depth in the valleys, and
when ii docs, a warm sun or wind
usually takes il OF in a day or two,

GEAvEE. UTAu July l4.-TO-day the
trials Of Lee ana Dame were set for the
10Th inst tie prosecution TO elect which

determined 20 have the cases disposed Of
without unnecessary delay. Some very
important witnesses, for the prose
cution, who il was thought could
not be found, are in town, and the
principal witness, Klingan Smith, will be
here tomorrow in charge Of a Marshal.

cItiuu, and make full statement OF all he
knows Of the Mountain Meadow massacre.
The cause is said to be, be believes he was

feeling i'm favor of Darne on the part OF the.
people from Southern Utah, who are

at the time. Many of them were con-
cerned in the massacre, and eyince great
animOsity toward Lee. Bishop, HOyt and
Speir, counsel for Lee, have advised him to
tell the entire story, believing it to be the
only way to save their client, as well as to
give the world the whole particulars Of the

nectcd with the trial that there are plenty
of people here TO cOTCbOrate all Of Lees

There are several very important reasons
which do not belong 10 cookery, why our
corn bread cannot be the same as IN the
South. In the first place, corn raised under

tenderness Obyiate the necessity
Of fat or butter for shortening,
and any form of grease would
deprive the corn Of its pure taste. No
sweet corn is raised in the South; common
corn is sweet enough 20 do away with that
necessity. The corn meal which Dinah
uses is, consequently, sweeter and tenderer
than any which comes 70 the hands Of our
fair-haired Northern cooks. Then, as To
soda, sour milk, and shortening, each one
is enough Of itself to destroy the pure
taste Of corn meal. But Guar meal IS pre-

the minds Of Eastern capitalists
with all manner Of false reports as to
the leaning Of public sentiment toward

because the Legislature made it i'm
