The following is the ore production for
the Territory of Utah for the mouth end
ing July 3lst, 1875. 1t will be seen that
the narrow gauge railroad, the Bingham
and Wasatch, give the largest shipments.
These two roads are the outlets for
Bingham canyon and the Cottonwoods,
the largest ore producing districts in the
Territory. Most of the ore transported
over these roads goes to the smelters in

PANICS.

The competitive speculation ina ugu.
rated by the war, kept up by excitement
and continued since its close, has led
Americans into many devious paths and
unwise enterprises. The years from 'G5
to '73 we're years Of over-production and
sensational schemes. Railroad building
assumed a vast import, manufacto-
ries we're multiplied, and manufac.
tured goods were thrown on the m ar
ket in great excess Of the supply. Fur
naces, iron mills, spindles, foundries,
cotton mills, etc, were run up by the
score; every one was getting rich or go.

Coast than 1t had taken on the Atlantic
Coast during the eight preceding years,

Francisco will have a beneficial effect
is hardly to be doubted. The first conse.
quence will probably be readjustment
OF values, the next general settling on
actual merits more than arbitrary values.
Healthy channels must necessarily be
found for the employment OF capital. and
the class Of securities that contributed
most to the recent failures will be made
more matter Of legitimate speculation
and regular dealing than a means OF sud
den expansion and fatal contraction as
in the past. The recent failures in San
Francisco bear similttude in cause and
effect to the failures on the German
Bourse two years ago. The thrifty Ger
mans embarked in all manner Of stock
speculation, and were oil getting rich very
rapidly when the bottom fell out of the

MOST LIKELY. - A recent theory nd.
vanced by learned pundits. accounting
for the heavy and long-continued rains
OF the present Summer, was that the in
creased amount OF railroads and tele.
graph lines had electrical influence on
the atmosphere sufficient TO precipitate
moisture. But a more sensible aud
plausible reason is now given. The
north Atlantic is unusually full of ice
this season. The enormous bergs as
they drift into more southerly latitude
melt. and the vapor drawn to the land is
condensed and precipitated in ruinously
abundant rain prod ueing incaloulable
injury.

The Beaver Enterprise OF the 9th in

Inc Beaver Enterprise OF the 18th in-
slant says:
The fact is indispntable that mining
matters in Utah are at ebb tide; whether
the flood is to come or not, God alone
can tell. Everything is down; business
is dull; money is hard to get; wages are
low; and general gloom prevades every
department of trade and industry. This
state of affairs is principally attributable
to the condition of the mines, through
the inability OF owners to produce the
necessary capital for working them. The
mines themselves are all right; but it is
well known that silver mines cant be
developed on their own resources. aud
unless money is invested in plentiful
quantities, the bedrock of dull times
will be reached ere long. after which we
may as we'll take things easily and wait
for an interposition of divine providence
in our behalf

clares "the mines OF Utah are now look

Duration of Seed Vitality.

The question of the duration of the
vitality of seeds is of much interest to
science, but one which has received
as yet little help from exact observation.
1t is known that the seeds of many
plants may be kept without injury for
several years. The conditions most
favorable for their preservation are dry
atmosphere and a low temperature.
When buried deeply in a dry, hard
soil, seeds have been known to retain
life Tor an untold length of time. DR..
Carpenter relates, in his work on "Veg-
etable Physiology" that, west of Ster-
ling, England, some workmen were ditch
ing in clay soil which had been Gov
cred with fourteen feet of peat. A
clergyman standing by observed seeds
IN the clay thus thrown TO the surface,
which he secured and planted. They
terminated and produced a species of
chrysanthemum. It is impossible to
estimate the time which these seeds had
lain IN the ground, while their covering
of clay and the foucteen feet of peat
earth vas slowly accommodating over
them /; but it must have been an enor.
nous period.
1t is on record by DR.. Lindley, that
raspberry-seeds taken from the stomach
of a man who had been buried with the
coins of the Emp ror Hadrian, and
whose skeleton was found thirty feet
below the surface, at the bottom of a
barrow, or ancient burial-plac near
Dorchester, terminated in the horticul-
tural garden, where they were planted.
It was computed that these seeds were
LOGO or 1, 700 years cid at the time of
their recovery.
Forty miles from the sea-cosst, In the
state of Maine, q well was sunk to the
depth of twenty feet, when q layer of
sand was struck, which was in its char
acter unlike any sand nearer the sea-
beach. When drawn up from the well
1t was placed in pile by itself. In the
course of a year or two, this sand was
covered with growth of strange plants
which proved to be the beach plum trees.
No trees of the kind had ever been seen
in the vicinity before, or anywhere ex-
cept upon the sea-shore. The conclu-
sion to which probability tends is, that
the plants grew from seeds that had
been buried for eyes in the stratum of
sea-sand pierced by the diggers.
It Is also stated by DIR. Carpenter,
from whom We have the preceding par
ticUlars, that seeds found in the heFba-
rium.of DR.. TOurnefort, a French botan-
ISIS were found to retain their vitality
after the lapse OF a century. The sto-
ries OF the growth of corn and wheat

mics are not accepted as authentic evi-

a Wrone Custom Correcfed.

It is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vege-
table kingdoms have been diligently searched
to procure the most drastic and poisonous Dur
gatives, 10 order to produce powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and en-
feebled organ. This system Of treatment is
on the same principle as that of giving a weak
and debilitated man large portions Of brandy
to enable him to do a certain amount of work

new beginner? How much more had a
person ought to pay for sheep in the
spring than In June, after shearing-
time, so as to male it pay him?
The best time to buy sheep is when
you can buy them cheapest, all things
considered-that is, when and where
you can find a hock-master who wants
to sell, not his calls, but such as the
buyer selects. If you buy before shear
ing, the difference In price should be
simply the difference in value of the
sheep before and after shearing, or the
value of the fl 5ece. For ourselves, We
should prefer to buy just after shear
ing. since there is a chance for more
critical examination, as to the points of
excellence In the flock, and at this time
of the year, if there is disease In the
flock, it will be apt to show.
Buy sheep from one to three years
old, not older-yearlings and two year

The lamb at the birth has two central

are replaced by the permanent teeth.
Thereafter, two other of the incisors

A st. Luke Madonna.

Charles Warren Stoddard writes TO
the San Francisco Chronicle CT have
at last seen a st. Luke Madonna. It
has a whole church to itself on the
crown of q high hill on the edge Of
BolOnga. A winding road leads up this
hill, and on one side Of the road is an
arcade one mile in length, having 635
brick arches, and innumerable shrines
now fallen to decay. OF course there
Is a barrack right under the church. I
wonder the church has been left so
long undesecrated, for it would take an
impregnable fertilization, commanding
the whole country hereabouts. The
s.. Luke picture was shown me by one
of the priests, but not without much
ceremony, even to the putting on of
robes and the reading of a brief offioe.
We passed in behind the high altar,
assembled a flight of marble steps and
opened with a golden key two golden
doors set thick with jewels. In blaze
of diamonds and rubies, under a coat

that had grown harmonious with time,
but it was faint and shadOwy and IN
real. saw that the faces were full of
tenderness, aud that the type was the
same that is still copied IN the best
pictures of the Holy Family. I might
have more thoroughly enjoyed this pre-
cious old picture, brought from Con-
stantinople in 1166, had not been dsz
zled by the splendor of its setting for
once in my life I found diamonds too
plentiful. We closed the golden doors
of the picture, retired into an anteroOp,
from which there was a superb view,
and there we talked of the great wealth
of the church and of she famous people
who have made pilgrImages thither-

the long arcade was entertained with
a study of the frescoes at the various
chspsls. The military has enterta ned
itself with retouchiDg most of the
frescOes with charcoal, though they have
departed somewhat from the spirit of
the original, as for instance, in the shrine
where God the Father leans from

and, again, where the Msgdalen appears /
in a moustache that would break the |
heart of King Victor with envy to see.
