He pronounced it, "I've got twin
and old Mrs. Martin, overhearing it

and that night they marched out to his

the Chief" several ward clubs, some
fire companies, . group of white dress
ed girls in wagon, q lot o: banners,
and plenty of enthusiasm. Bill made
a speech about the canvass, aud then
there were shouts of "WheIe's the
twins !" "Hold 'em up to the window =
and the like. Bill said there was .
mistake, but the band sarcasticaily
played, "Listen to the Mocking Bird, -
and the boys shouted louder for the
twins. When the truth prevailed the
assembly dispersed in disgust, and
Bill was overwhelmingly defeated al
the polls.

GREAT SALT LAKE.


This remarkable body of salt water
is about 1900 feet above the level of
the sea, is 20 miles long, and from 30
to 40 miles wide.
1t is dotted with islands; the three
principal ones being named respect
lively Antelope, or Church, Fremont
and Stansbury. Col. Fremont first
explored the lake in 1843, and it is re-
lated by Jessie, his wife, that when
his boat first touched the shore of
Fremont island, an oarsrnan in the
bow OF the boat was about to jump
ashore, when Kit Carson, the guide,
insisted that Colonel Fremont should
first land and name the island. All
of these islands contain more or less
Of lead, silver and copper, and quar-
ries of superior slate for roofing are
opened on two of them.
Captain Stansbnry surveyed the lake
in 1849, his report being published in
1850. -
There is no large body of water in
the world SO largely impregnated with
salt as this. The spray from its waves
is crystalized in varying and beautiful
forms on the sage brush and grasses
along its shores, furnishing splendid
specimens for mineral cabinets.
The many salt springs which flow
into the lake can hardly be presumed
to furnish saline matter enough to
make SO strong brine, and it is prob
able that beneath the waters of the
lake, huge deposits and riffs of crys-
taline salt exist, as they are known to
in different parts Of Utah. Salt Lake
has no known outlet. The principal
rivers flowing into it are the Jordan,
from the South, and Bear and Weber
from the North aud East. The lake
has been gradually rising for the last
25 years, and is now from 10 10 Is feet
higher than in 1850. 1t has been assert
ed that it was indeed 'dead sea-" no
living thing to be found in its waters
but recent researches establish the fact
that some Of the lower orders of ami
