THERE ARE MANY BARS.
| The only regular and invarible
land mark of, this section ,(and this
is true of the far west generality is
that whatever else is lacking, the ga.
loon is always there. A metropolis
consisting only of name and water
tank besides is sure to be orna-
mented with an emporium where
liquid refreshments are dispensed.
When nearing the Montana line
we reached a mountainous section,
The sage disappeared and grass took
its place. The mountains wore
smooth and treeless and the grass
had been dried and Drowned by the

however, it retains it's nutritious pro-
pcrties and is eaten as woll by stock
as if green, even in winter. Here
we again followed small river, and
occasionally good meadow was
passed.
We reached Butte City shortly
after noon. Butte is queer looking
town, upon a mountain side, smoky
and dirty. Its chief support is de-
rived from the copper mines, which
arc right in town. There is 30 much
cinder, SO much ,m"ke and dirt and
so little moisture 'a6 there is moth

SOUTH CAROLINA, SEPTEMBER al, 1860

Great Salt Lake Is about, twenty
miles from town, reached by rail. 1t
is literally an inland sea and is up-
qaestionably one of tho great won
ders. A lake of salt water, $500
miles in area, mile above sea level,
is q sight to be seen nowhere else on
earth. 1t is q beautiful sheet of
water, and at Garfield Beach and
Salt Air you can find as fine bathing
facilities as at any Atlantic watering
place. At Salt Air, especially, there
| is large pavilion, thousand feet
from shore, with bath houses below
The water is strongly impregnatea
with salt; 30 much so that the evap.
Grafton of six barrels will leave or G
barrel of salt; and, owing to this
fact, the water is so bouyant that in
it a person cannot sink. Whether
you can swim or not, you can fall
down Oh the water and float about
like q cork.
DIVERSITY OF THE CLIMATE,
With an hours ride from Salt
Lake City you can be among the
perpetual SHOWS, and between them
any reasonable graduation of tenn
peraturo can be found. Near tho
city gold ore has been discovered,
and the output is large and growing.
Near tho lake shore numerous salt
refineries arc located. TO got salt,
the lake water has to be turned into
shallow vats. Natural evaporation
does the rest, and the crude salt is
ready to be shoveled up and carried
to the refinery. Rock salt is abund-
ant. Cut out in blocks, like stone,
it is being used in building the Salt
Palace, which was nearing compile
ton when / saw it. This is darker
than the evaporated product, but it
is the intention of the projectors to
spray the building with lake water,
the deposit of which will leave the
walls snowy white. Instead of
painting from year to year, they will
have only to spray the building to
give it new appearance.

BATHS AND SWIMMING POOLS.
But the feature of Glenwood
Springs is made up Of the baths and
swimming pool. The pool covers
about one acre, enclosed by perfect
masonry and tloored with vitritied
brick. Nearby is Yampah Spring,
which pours into tho pool 1000 gal
Ions Of boiling sulphur water per
minute. At the opposite end is a
fourtain OF cold spring water which
equalizes the temperature. So by
going toward or from these points
the bathor can find any temperature
desired. At tho deep water end of
the pool the "tobogan" is located.
This is broad, tlat-bottom trough,
lined with sheet copper, smooth
as glass, and sat up at an angle Of
fully 80 degrees. Near the water
it curves outward. a thin stream
of water trickles down to make tho
bottom slippery. The bather walks
up steps, gots in the trough and
shoots down into the water like q
comet crossing the zenith-just like
a brick falling in well. Seats are
ranged along the side of the pool,
and the non-combatants" sit around
and watch tho antics of the swim
mers.
The vapor baths are said to be
very fine so far as curative proper
ties are concerned, and are highly
praised for wonderful rehabilitation
of invalids. Tho vapor comes from
the sulphur water, mndicated in ma
ture's own laboratory and heated by
her furnaces in tho regions below.
A pretty arbored walk called
"14overs' Promenade" leads us to the

land as level as floor and fertile as
a garden. Heavy crops of hay,
small grain and fruit. Beautiful
homes and progressive towns.
About 10 o'clock we reached Salt
Lake City, doubtless the most widely
known town of its size in America.
This Jerusalem of tho Latter Day
Saints is perfectly laid out. The
streets cross at right angles, are
broad, we'll paved and shaded, and
are as straight as an arrow. The
town is located OH q slope which
leads directly up to high range of
mountains. This gives good drain
age. Water is brought down and
made to flow through the cutters
continually. After all, however, it
must be said that this is not an at
tractive feature. The water becomes
very dirty and unsightly. Boing u
town of only about $4,000 people of
course it's claims as q point of inter-
est are based upon its peculiar origin
and unique history, with which all
readers are familiar. OF course the
objects which all tourists seek arc
the Mormon Temple, the Tabernacle,
the Bee Hive and other things espc-
cially associated with Mormonism.
IN SALT LAKE CITY.
The temple comes trst. It and
tho tabernacle are close together, in
Temple square, near tho center of
the city. The temple is tone of the
buildings you read about" as one of
our party said. 1t is of white
granite, 1869 by 80 feet; probably
100 feet from ground to roof. At
each end there arc number of
spires, one tall one on the center; on
each side a slightly shorter one, and
oSn."s still smaller and smaller to-
ward the walls. The building was
begun in 1853, was forty years being
completed, and cost ten millions of
dollars. The walls at the ground
floor arc said to be ten feet thick.
None not of tho faith are permitted
to enter.

The tabernacle is an immense

The tabernacle is an immense
building, being $50 wide by 150 feet.
1t is oblong in outline, with an oval
roof. Forty-six pillars sustain the
roof, which springs in one unbrokcn
arch. 1t is the second largest self
sustaining roof in the United States.
The ceiling is G3 feet from tho floor.
The seating capacity ia $4,000, and
from every seat an unobstruoted
view of the pulpit is had. Tho organ
is the second largest in the country,
and is said to be of excellent tone.
The acoustic properties of the build
| ing arc marvellous. Sitting in the
gallery ut tho further end, pin
dropped on the railing at the altar
can bo heard much more distinctly
than if dropped on table at your
side, and rubbing the hands together
sounds like scrubbing wood with
sand papor.
The Bee Hive, a largo walled en-
closure across tho street, contains
stores, shops, residences, etc. Anc-
lia's Palace, the residence of Brig
ham Young's favorito wife, the
tithing house, where tho faithful
hand in tenth of their incomes to
tho church, and Eagle Gate, are all
of interest. The latter is quite
noticeable. From two granite pillars
on each side of tho street as many
girders swing across, curving do, u
ward, then upward, and converging
ovor tho center of tho street, the
keystone being surmounted by q
large bronco eagle. "

Monday by appearing at the
board with a monster Irish pota-
to, and cracked their cred ullty by
gravely announcing that it was
only baby murphy. The potato
came from George Closes 125
acre patch, from which he has
been shipping for the past week.
One of the commissioners figured
out the result of Mr.. Closes crop.
He said it took 375 bushels to
plant the 1875 acres, and If he re-
ceived twenty for one planted, his
crop would amount to 1900 bar
rels, and at So barrel he would
receive $22, 500 for the crop. Mr..

Agrain of sand in the eye can
cause excruciating pain. A grain
of pepper in place of the grain of
sand intenslfies the torment. The
pain is not confined to the organs
affected. The whole body feels
the shock of that little irritating
particle. 1t is so when there is
any arrangement or disorder of
the delicate womanly organs.
The disorder may seem trivial
but the whole body feels it. The
nervous system is disordered.
There are fretfulness, irrita bility,
sullenness and depression of
of spirits. The general health of
woman depends ON the local
health of the organs peculiarly
feminine. Remove the drains,
