There are only one or two steamers on the lake which cruise among the islands with pleasure parties aboard. Take it all in all, the lake is about the most isolated and deso- late body of water on the continent. As no animal lives in it, so no person seems to live about it; and it is used as a bathing resort only. The north end of it, into which emp ties the Bear river, is the freshest. At many other points you can pick up salt where 1t is piled on the shore, Some maintain that the lake is anuslly rising, but I think this is idle talk. Occasionally heavy snows may raise it temporarily, but the constant evap. oration must bring about gradual decline Indeed, it is said that this year the waters have already receded four feet.
 Education is not specially encouraged here. Brigham YoEng collected good deal of money for the purpose of building 8 semi nary, but only laid the foundation; and his bones rest in the center of that foundation to-day, under thirteen tons of granite. The Mormon young men have 8 society analogous to the Protestant BY. NJ. 0. A., called the Young Mems Mutual Improvement associa- tion, which publishes a magazine called the Contributor.
 P. S.-I do not know where that money now is which Brigham collected. EMILE.

.R .RETRENCHNTENT-, i,

short time ago we called the attention of our readers to the necessity of reducing the present high rate of taxation in this city. We believe that two per cent. tax Is injurious in many ways to New Haven and inasmuch as 50 high rate has never been laid before we cannot believe it necessary. One remedy for the present state of things, as we have before said, is better nominations for the municipal ofices-a nomination of the best men without regard to party-greater econ omy in the management of all the depart nents and a looping of of all unnecessary expenditures But we are informed tn at an- other remedy has been devised-s plan that is at once simple and complete, and one that far surpasses ours in ingenuity, and, indeed, every method of retreno hment that we have yet heard of For the new plan not only re- duces taxation, but it permits any amount of expenditure without affecting the rate.
 This method is to increase the valuation For instance, last year As house and lot were assessed at $2, ,00O. Under the new plan As house can be assessed at s, 900 and his tax can then be reduced to one and half percent. A very sim DIG du0 buE0 way tO TeuUcS GaXAt1OU And the taxpayer ought to be rated as very simple himself if he fails to fully appreciate it. We may bs pardoned perhaps if we sug- gest a single improvement. We concede that we should never have been able to work out such 8 method, but criticism may some times improve that which only original gen jus can suggest. We propose that instead of 8 moderate increase in the valuation of twen- ty-fve or fifty per cent, 1t be doubled at once. Then the rate of taxation can be reduced to one per cent. If any unreasona- ble taxpayer should be found to grumble at so low a rate of taxation, why, then, triple the valuation or even quadruple 1t. Of course it will be wholly unnecessary to sug- gest to any mind that has fully grasped this plan that the expenditure need not be in any way hampersd by this sort of reduction. The whole beauty of the scheme consists in this, that expenditure may continue to in- crease while taxation continues to decrease. We are not at all certain that this plan will actually be carried out. But our readers can perhaps ascertain whether it Is being pursued or not. by an early examination of their tax lists. If, after careful study of these inter esting documents, they find that it is and do not fully appreciate the scheme. we remind them again that the only remedy we know of lies at the polls.

The people of this country are taxed enough, but they can thank their stars that they do not have to support big standing army, and keep 1t in fighting trim. The Journal des Dsbats gives some interesting figures regarding the comparative cost of maintaining the government and armies of European countries, mainly the result of the threatening strength of Germany The in- crease in the cost of maintaining the German empire over the period when Prussia was thoroughly armed and prepared for the csn- 250, 900. The next greatest increase has been in the case of Russia, whose expenditures have risen from $26s, 0Oo, 900 to $53s, ,0eo, ,ooo. The cost of maintaining the army of France, which was exceptionally large in 1865, has increased from $472, ,ooO, ,00O to S596, ,oo0, 900, notwithstanding the loss of two rick pro. Vinces. Italy has augmented it's expenditure nearly fifty per cept., and Norway, Sweden and Switzerland have more than tYebled the amount of taxation. Denmark. Belgium and Holland have made enormous additions to their burdens, considering their wealth, and the same is true of Greece and the other small powers. The only two countries which have not preportionably increased their arm sments are Great Britain and Austria, the latter probably because it could endure no more, and the former because 1t has gradual ly arrived at the conclusion that it doss not pay to meddle in European affairs. The to- tai amount of increase, at per cont, repre- sents capital of 16,ooo, ,eoo, 900, taken from the industries of Europe and applied to waste.

THE WONDER

Is becoming universal as to how such an im- mense sale could be created in Lowell for Hoops SARsAPARILLA. But, my friend, if you could stand behind our counter a week and hear what those say who are using 1t, the reason would appear as clear as the monday sun. The real curative power of EooD's SARsAPARILLA demonstrates itself in every case where our directions are faith fully regarded. We would that we might get before the people a fractional part of the confidence that is expressed to us every day in this medicine by those who have carefully noted (without prejudicel its effects upon the blood and through that upon the whole sys- tenn, stimulating all the functions of the body to perform the duties nature requires of them.

 LOWELL, Feb. 3, 1879. About one year ago my ydaughter commenced taking your Sarsaparflla. At that time she walks, and her face was badly broken out with ahumor. She was low-spirited; troubled with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed caused us great anxiety. After taking one Dottle or your Sarsapar1lla she began to i'm s na eS seS saS gSod a1d H nothing compared with what 1t was one year ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled I attribute this improvement in her condf- tlon largely to your SarSapar1lla. She has taken six bottles, and intends to continue it's use: was inclined to oppose the trial of it at first. l now have great faith in it as a blood purifier. Very truly yours,

Business in France is not in a very satis- factory condition. In 1875 it reached high water mark, but since then it has been stead fly declining. In 1875 the value of exports amounted to SITS, ,0oo, GOO, but in 1882 it was $72O, ,o0O, showing loss of $55. GOO, 900. This year business has shown 50 far the same shrinkage. On the other hand imports have increased, but not in such raw materials as used in the manufactured, but la the cereals From 1875 to 1882 she increase in imports of cereals and wines have bsen $227, 800, 000- France seven years ago was able to grow the wheat for tho bread she ate, but falls very short of 1t today. If the statistics can be relied upon, she imports more wine than shs exports. France has long en- joyed the control of that peculiar class of goods which arc chased as objects of luxury. She owed this to her exquisite taste and her art development. But 8 great many of these goods, olassed in Europe as articles de Paris, have found imitators In Belgium and Austria, and, in fact, Vienna is now the fancy goods competitor of Paris.

A physician who writes for the Continent about the curative powers of nature is posi- tive in his conviction that it Is better for a sonsumptive to stay at home, where he can be comfortable. than subject himself to the discomfort of hotel life, or to the great CT in convenience of a camp. He says that the camp cure may be fairly tried by sleeping on one's own heusstop. Another medical man replies that the summer conditions of spruce forests are snainsntly favorable, and con- sumptives have recovered in the most sur prising way living under canvas in them, where the air is impregnated with the heal ing emanations peculiar to the non-deciduous tree growths. There are consumptives whose lungs crave the salt air of the ocean; others to whom the dry air of Colorado is in- fuitely soothing; and others sgain who are benefited by the climate of Florida or south ern California ''To prescribe Florida for ono person might mean death, while if he went amoag the northern paradise of spruce recovery might folIow.''
