SALT LAKE CITY.

The IntermOuntain Metropolis.
The Greatest Mining and Smelter
Center or the Near Future. A
Beautiful and Fertile Valley
and Fine Climate.
Since the change of the city gov
eminent, no other place in this
Western country has sprung into
prominence as much as Salt Lake
City; she has all the essential ele-
ments of a great city; within three
years she has doubled her popu-
Iation and it is generally admitted
that she will double again within
the next three years. That the
value of Real Estate will exchange
proportionately is only natural,
and Salt Lake City is to-day the
safest place for investment in
America. To enable people with
limited means and small incomes
to become property owners in this
prosperous city we have adopted
the popular installment plan long
time and easy payments; it is by
this method that we count a num-
Der Of mechanics and mining men
among our customers; parents
buying a lot for their boy; but it
is not only the working people we
count among our patrons, but
shrewd business men all over the
country, we are able to refer you
to. Their common cry is, how /
missed it in Omaha. or Denver,
while we can assure them, that
neither of those places has the
natural advantages Of Salt Lake
City. and the opportunity fer profit
able investments are just as good
as in the former cities.
Our office, for few days only,
is on Main street, South OF the
Kitzmeyer furniture house. Call
and see us and get descriptive
matter of Salt Lake City and her
resources, free Of charge.
Remember this is no lottery, but
a fair legitimate business, getting
value received for every cent in
vested, with big returns on the in
vestment. The best of references
will be furnished.
Respectfully, F. BRYLE.

People of Empire and surround
ing country are invited to call.

DEADLY AIR SHIPS.

If the present system of explo-
sions continues, and inventors
make engines of destruction to
tear previous productions all to
pieces there will be an end to war
and arbitration will be the means
Of settling trouble.
The latest heard Of is from
Maxim, who has invented some of
the most deadly weopons now in
in use, to the effect that he has
in contemplation a death dealing
monster which will eclipse all
others now in use, and revolution
ize the entire art of war, if not
make it absolutely impossible in
the future. He proposes to solve
the problem by the possibilities of
aerial navigation-in other words
by a combination of balloon and
dynamite. For two years he has
been engaged upon his scheme.
His propelling power is steam,
which will be generated in a Whit
worth steel boiler by petroleum.
The mode of propulsion is by two
huge wooden screws Is feet in
diameter which will revolve with
great rapidity. The inventor
sayswith much confidence: 81 have
built a moter weighing 1900 lbs.
which will lift 10000 pounds so
you see what a margin I have
left" He says further that he
will test his machine as follows.
1t will be placed at an angle of
about one foot in eighteen Inches
on railrerd track twelve feet
wide. At thirty miles an hour it
will barely skim along, the pres
sure of the air underneath it being
then equal to one pound per
square foot, or just sufficient to
lift it. At thirty-f1ve miles an
hour it will begin to rise, and as
the speed increases it will mount
higher.
When you want to descend you
will slacken speed, or il you wish
to proceed in a straight line a
certain height you will come down
to thirty miles an hour. 1t can be
done as sure as fate. I have
spent $4,000 already upon it,
and I did not enter upon the
work until I was convinced that
the idea was practicable.
Assuming that Mr.. Maxim's
hugh airship will rise and can be
kept under control he suggests as
one of it's practicable uses the
dropping of dynamite upon cities
Notifications, armies or vessels.
He holds out this cheerful pros
pect: IF 1 can rise from the
coast of France, sail through the
air across the channel and drop
half a ton of nitro-glycerine upon
an English city, / can revolution
ize the world. I believe lean do it
if I live long enough"

 "You can tell us, if you have seen any thing of the Confederate forces in these parts, or whether you have heard any thing of their movements"
 "Surely I can," was the suave reply "Bragg's men passed southwards through yonder village-you can just see it's smoke in the far distance-ten days ago. There are many God-fearing Unionists living there-they call the place Winstanley-and they feared fire and pillage, but the troops were hurried and they passed them by un- hurt.''
 ''That is good-well, sir, have you any thing more to tell us?''
 "Why, yes, have. Some men who had been out hunting in the woods told me this morning that they had seen a they thought would reach Winstanley this be a chance for you? How many men do you muster?"
 ''Oh, mere handful-two companies OI 1u1duIry-puGs ulo IAey Say now strong the escort was?"
 "Just one troop of cavalry, nothing more, and so tuclsered up by long march that they could hardly crawl"
 ''That's splendid news, indeed; but are you sure of the direction Bragg's army was taking?"
 Positive. He was going due south with big force, in great haste, too. or you may depend on it our friends barns and houses would not have roofs over them"
 "And you think that the villagers would receive us hospitably?"
 'As Saul did the warriors of Midian," |" was the staunch reply; land now, as I can give you no more information, per init me to wend my way in peace"

 He sat in his saddle like a trooper g the Major critically observed; 'and what splendid physique the old fellow hasI Say, Frank, I do honestly think those itinerant preachers are after all the true soldiers of Christ, suffering as they do toll, privation and discomfort in His name. They may be illiterate, but, hang mo, if they're not in earnest. s
 But Franks thoughts were on another subject.
 May I speak to Charlie about this unpleasant matter we were talking of, sir? Perhaps word of warning might bring him to his senses"
 Certainly not" was the stern re. ply. My hands are so tied now by promises have given to you and others, that am not in a position to confront him with proofs of his folly. Remem- Der, l rely upon your silence and watchfulness-there must be no lack of confidence between us two now or ever again. And your asking me this, re- minds me to inquire what sort of a fel- low is James Lawson, who claims to be companion of your early days"
 Well, Frank hesitated, for he hated to set the Major against his old play mate by speaking the open truth, Ines not an intensely moral young man, I believe-in fact"
 "A bit of a scamp. An, I judged as much, " and Major Hopkins hurried away to his duties

ssWhy, four rebel officers were havi'i2 quiet little game of anse this after noon at a farmhouse about five miles east of this, when up comes Captain Frank and his merry men on forage, seeking whom and what they may de- vour. There was no chance of escape. The men were all round the house, and the poor beggars gave themselves up for lost, when the lady of the house whose health by the by we'll drink presently, if Robinson doesn't guzzle the whole contents of that demi-john- snatches her baby from the cradle, up sets bottle of red ink over its innocent countenance and tells Franks lambs her darling's got the smallpox. That was enough; they stood not on the order of their going, but went, and never stopped running till they got back to camp. Then Frank tells Doc Saunders, who reports to my dad and raises the old mans hair with such a holy horror that he won't be able to get his hat on till he's been shingled."
 "Oh! Charlie, surely you're making it all up," Frank gasped.
 Not a bit, my boy. It's all as true as Gospel. The doctor wormed the whole story out of a colored girl, who was the only occupant of the house when he got there."
 A roar of laughter greeted the con- clusion of the narrative and completed Franks discontinue.

one envied luxury of joining foraging party now and then; for, though the command was well provisloned, orders were given to raid the country.
 In charge of an expedition of this character, Frank Besant had been un- usually lucky, and was returning to camp one evening when they came to a comfortable farmhouse, whose neat curtains and orderly out-houses prom ised richer plunder than their usual fortune had brought them.
 "There's something strange about that house cant make out" said Will Ridley, Franks sergeant, and an es- pecial favorite of the young officer. Mary a child, nor dog, nor beast, nor fowl about the place to give a sign that folks is living there"
 "P'r'aps some of the boys have been here before us," suggested one of the men.

CHAPTER XI. TREASONl

Roughing it in the bush, would have been a good description of Frank Be- sant's mode of life during the hot months of summer, when the Fighting Fourth was marching hither and thither, according to Buell's cratic movements, or as some evolution of the enemy called for their attention. Take it for all in all, the dog-days went by without making any very vast strain on the en- ergies of young men who were unused to fatigue and loss of sleep by nearly a years practice in the field; and even James Lawson would have welcomed the excitement of something bigger than brush with the enemy. It was picket and skirmish, slzirmish and pick ct with them, till the lads grew weary of the monotonous life they led.
 One day, however, there came a change, in this eternal sameness of things for Frank Besant at least, for his and Charlie Fulton's companies were ordered out on a reconnoitering expedi- ton under Major Hopkins, which prom ised to be full of adventure.
 The enemy was supposed to be lying some forty miles to the westward-sup- posed, say, for beyond the unreliable reports of farmers, Buells officers, who at this period seemed doomed to be chasing shadows, had no idea of their real whereabouts, and with the object of ferreting them out, had dispatched this little expedition.
 Two days they had marched and dis covered nothing more formidable than the scowling faces of women, who met their inquiries with assertions that were so palpably false that it was a customary thing to read their answers backwards.
 "I can almost forgive Butler for his brutal order at New Orleans" Major Hopkins said, after an encounter with Q cottager's wife, in which he had de- cidedly come off second best.
 But that I can not" Frank declared, with all the chivalry of youth. "A woman, you know, Major, is beyond the reach of mans personal chastise- ment-something too sacred for-''
 ''Oh, yes, boy. I know what you would say, and do not think the worse

 friends, his little bits of camp news all so interesting to one who loves him Pshaw, it is the old tale of Delilah over again, and if you and do not put oul heads together, our poor young Sam. son will be surely shorn of all his locl1s."
 Franks brain seemed in a whirl. Major Hopkins" he said at last, "yor asked me few moments ago if knee Miss Lascelles, and then evaded your question. do know that lady, and I am going to tell you how and where l made her acquaintance. But first I need your word of honor as gentleman that you will never reveal to any one what may tell you-no, not even if you stood on your oath before a court martial"
 ''I never will-so help me Heaven '' the Major declared, with as much solemnity as though he stood before a whole bench of judges.
 Then Frank related from first to last his adventures with Mary Lasceres, emitting only the little episode of the garden and her gentle hints of prefer ence for himself, which the honest lad was 10th to believe even now were any thing but sincere.
 By this time the mounted stranger had approached-a short, thick-set old man, dressed in the garb of a minister, with Bible and hymn book sticking con- spicuously out of his coat-poclet, and mounted on lanlz, nl-fed mule.
 He greeted them warmly as he rode up to them.
 "Ah, gentlemen" he said, sit is in- deed a blessed privilege to see North ern face in this unhappy country, where it is a crime to remember that one once swore fealty to the stars and stripes ''
 Both officers shook hands with him.
 'You are a Northerner?' the Major asked.
 "Yes, by birth and education, but the best years of my life have been spent in Tennessee and Georgia, and other Southern States, for soldiers path you know is ever a wandering one.''
 "A soldiers, you say? Have you ever served?''
 "Am I not serving now, friend? Are we not both soldiers-you of the sword, I of the cross?''
 ''Oh, yes, exactly-I did not look at it in that light, MT. -" he paused for the stranger to fill up the blank
 "Abel Green, or as the simple folk around here generally dub me-Parson Abe"
 "Well, MT. Green, I am right glad we have met, not only that it has given me pleasure to shake hands with a North ern man down here, but because l see a way to utilize our meeting.''
 'Of course I understand what you mean," the minister assented, readily. ''You would have me preach the Word to your men up in the woods there?"
 ''I am afraid I had no such good in- tentions." The Major was positively blushing. q meant that you would be perhaps willing to give me some valu- able information.''
 There was a blank look of disap- pointment in the minister's face, as he replaced the books he had already drawn from his capacious pockets.
 ''I am sure, if we had time, the men would much profit by your ministra- tions," Major Hopkins explained.
 ''Ever the same cry-no time in this short life to prepare for the eternity of

ton at what he persisted in considering mismanagement on the part of the Union leaders, and at once set out him. self to take command of the troops be- fore Pittsburgh landing, once more humiliating Grant, who was retained in the anomalous position of second in command.
 Halleck made haste slowly. He had been reinforced by Pope, with twenty five thousand men from the Mississippi, and was now at the head of an army numbering at least one hundred thou sand. On the 21st of May, he had crept to within three miles of the dreaded Notifications of Corinth, whose terrible guns threatened his advance, and com pelled him to move with caution that was depressing alike to officers and men.
 And meanwhile Beauregard saw the mighty host approaching, and though he too had been reinforced, knew that when the tussle came he would be un- able to withstand them, so he coolly de- stroyed every thing of value in the city and withdrew his forces southward.
 On the 3Oth of May, Halleck marched into the deserted fortress; and what must have been his feelings, when he found that all this vast array of brist- ling guns, which had awed him into such deliberate action, were but harm less logs of wood painted and mounted to represent cannon!
 "Well," cried Frank, as he gazed at the mock artillery, If that doesn't beat any thing in the way of shams, I'm Dutchman!'
 Even a baby with the small-pox?' Charlie Fulton asked, getting well out of reach, however, of his comrades brawny grasp.
