SALT LAKE CITY.

No one crossing the continent can
afford to cut Salt Lake City from his
rSute. The attractions of the place, in
Guiding the Mormon Temple, Tabern-
acle and Church institutions, the Great
Salt Lake-deader and denser than the
Dead Sea in the Holy Land-the pic
turesque environment and the Warm
Sulphur and Hot Springs, are greater
to the square yard than any locality on
the American continent.
The Rio Grande Western Railway,
connecting on the East with the Den.
yer & Rio Grande and Colorado Mid
land Railways and on the West with
the Southern Pacific Central Route)
and Oregon Short Line, is the only
transcontinental line passing directly
through Salt Lake City. The route
through Salt Lake City via the Rio
Grande Western Railway is famous all
the year around. On account of the
equable climate Of Utah and Colorado
it is just as popular in winter as in
summer. Send &c to e. COPELAND, 215

Growing Matches.

The Belgian artisan spends his lei
sure in a very curious manner. He
keeps a special cock for growing, and
the bird which can outcrow it's fellows
has reached the highest pinnacle of
perfection. The mode of operation is
to place the cages containing the roost-
ers in long rows, for it appears that
one bird sets the other off Growing. A
marker appointed by the organizers of
the show is told off for each bird, his
duty being to note carefully the num-
Der of crows for which it is responsible
in the same fashion as the laps are re-
corded in bicycle race. The custom
airy duration of the match is one hour,
the winner being the bird which scores
the highest number of crows in the al
lotted time. A great number of these
competitions have taken place in the
Liege district, and in some cases heavy
bets have been made on the result.

face or name of a friend. You more
than any other man in the world have
been in my thoughts for the last three
days, and, as remarked, l was about
to start for your office. Thompson,
shake hands again."
Il haven't time" replied Thompson.
Look here, major, bills against you to
the amount of 5000 have been put into
our hands for collection. You promised
to pay that old board bill two months
ago. / want to know what you are GO
ing to do?"
do, my dear Thompson? Why, I'm
going to give you a check in about ten
seconds for the whole indebtedness.
You could have had your money long
ago if you had given me the slightest
hint. Major Crofoot has a good men,
ory, but how can you expect him to
keep track of shillings when he is
dealing in thousands of dollars"
Il heard you were promoting a lit
tle," said the lawyer as he waited for
the check.
"Ten companies formed in the last
three months, my boy, and the
eleventh just ready to be incorporated.

MY dear Thompson, walk with me.
