why does w.,man desire 70 strip him Of
this signal honor? Woman claims to any
such honor are delusive and false. To show
that man is the best type of intellect, up
pern,ost in the control Of human affairs,
take as an example in the world CT litera-
ture-Addison, Hesiod, Xcnophon, Her.
odotus, Demosthenes, Plato, Homer, Virgil
Shakespeare, Byron, Helicon, and Scott,
etc. Who shall venture to say, but these
men have quoted were men most emf
nent in all departments of science and
learning, who stand by common consent
at the head Of the race. Who in teaching
the laws Of morals, was superior to John
son? Who better understood the beauties
Of the English language than Addison !?
Who was sweeter poet than Cowper?
Who was more majestic and grand than
Milton? Who has controlled more human
minds by stating its laws than Locke? Who
has seen further into the distant heavens
than Newton? Who greater in the en-
chanting work of fiction than Scott?
1t is, think, unnecessary to speak of
the great men Of the Bible, for their claim
is SO binding that none can unloose them
Let me, however, call attention to the SER
aphic Isaiah, the weeping Jeremiah, the
godly Ezekiel, and the praying David.
All down through the pages of Bible his
tory we do not find female intellect any
where; but we do find man the direct me-
dunn for the transmission Of sacred things
to the world.
In concluding this letter, think am
entitled to say that have shown sufficient
reasons Though can add much more if !
thought necessary why woman should &C.
cupy subordinate situation and not usurp
authority. Why does woman shut her
ewes to the fact that in the most important
situation in which she was ever placed, she
has shown she was not qualified to take
the lead. Her pliancy of character has
shown that she is not adapted to the situa-
ton of hardship; and the painful facts of
her early history has made it proper that
she should ever occupy subordinate sit
uation.-I am, &C., is.

Mining.


Salt Lake Tribune: Some months
ago miner came down from Idaho
aud persuaded some gentlemen here to
club together and raise 25.0O0 for pur-
chase money, AID $4,000 more for the
development of Il little mine. Now
they have a clear 500, 900 in sight ana
ielieve that they might as well say
ST. .OOO. 900 as 100000. We wonder
whether any other business in this or
any other country can make any such
showing as that9 But some will say:
This is ar exceptional case 1t is
only partly so. If any one. will note
under what conditions the Ontarla,
Horn Silver, the Crescent, the Minnie
Moore and a thousand other mines,
worked into prominence and great VAL
ne. they will see that the rule is not
that Ill mines are failures. By TINS
time the alphabet, the letters Of which.
in words make the certificates which
nature long ago posted upon the rocks.
| telling the world what to expect from
them. has been so thoroughly studied,
| that shrewd men set the letters 10
words and make out the meaning OF
the certificates correctly more often
than they miss, and when reward
does come in mining it is the sweetest
and the best reward that ever men OBJ
tanned from business enterprise, Tor
il is at the same time the creation OF
wealth. the production of something
valuable where nothing Of value was
known before, and it is like an infusion
of new blood to every other business
near. The merchant, the laborer, the
teamster, the miner, the mechanic, all
smile, for out of the forbidding rock
Il glory has come. and has come IN
such way that all must share in it's
value. Mining is infinitely the noblest
occupation in this region.
There are now in the treasury vaults az
Washington one hundred and thirty SIN
million silver dollars, weighing nearly
5000 tons If placed in ordinary coal carts
a ton in each, and allowing fifteen feet OF
srace to each cart, it would make con'
tinuous procession fourteen miles longI
The above figures do not include the sill
yer bullion and fractional silver, OF which,
there is thousand tons more.
