Salt Lake City is one of the most beauti-
fully laid out cities in the world. The
streets are very wide, with water running
through nearly every one of them. Every
block is surrounded with beautiful shade
trees, and almost every house has its neat
little orchard of apple, peach, apricot and
cherry trees. In fact, the whole nine square
miles is almost one continued orchard.

The British Provinces, including Upper
and Lower Canada, New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, and Prince Edwards Island, have,
alters deal Of labor, formed what is called
the New Dominion. But this confedera-
lion does not seem to work harmoniously.
The people Of these Provinces do not
seem to be altogether pleased with this
new system Of government The Canadas
are tolerably acquiescent, and SO is New
Brunswick; but Nova Scotia does not
seem to acquiesce in this arrangement with
a very becoming grace. For the local
Parliament there has not been single
member returned favorable to federation,
while all the Nova Scotia Representatives
to the House Of Commons, except two,
are pledged against it.


1t has been said that this feeling in
Nova Scotia is simply natural opposi
ton to the confederation, and that the
people of this province are not influenced
in their action by desire for annexation
to the United States. This is a mistake,
for whether these people, as at present
situated, avow or not their preference for
annexation to the United States, they
nevertheless mean that, and when the hour
comes will embrace the privilege with JOY
and rejoicing.


The Government Of the New Dominion
starts off under most unfavorable auspices
and il it weather the storm which is raised
against it it will be q marvel. The re
corded vote Of Nova Scotia to this fed
Grafton may not prevent it, but ever!
friend of the measure must see and &C
knowledge that the resistance Of this colony
is serious obstacle in the way. A new
government Of the type which this New
Dominion assumes to inaugurate must
maintain its prestige or go with much
obloquy to the wall.


We have never hesitated to advance our
views. We are in favor Of the annexation
of all these provinces to the United States.
We believe that Canada belongs to us,
and we hail therefore any uneasiness that
may be manifested. We are opposed to
rebellion there and here and everywhere,
but we are not opposed to the peac eful
dissolution Of the tie which binds these
provinces to the British Government.

A correspondent describes the process Of ma
king paper collars and cuffs at factory in Bidde-
ford, Me. The paper from which they are formed
comes in large sheets Of the required thickness.
Some forty of these sheets are placed one upon an
other, and then moved under the die which cuts
through the whole, giving the requisite shape to
forty collars. The paper is then moved under the
die again, and forty more cut, and so on to the
end. The button holes are next made. Some
half dozen collars are placed under the dies, and
the three holes cut in each instantly. Next the
collars are placed one at time under die OF
mould which impresses the stitching upon them
and marks the line by which the collar is to be
turned or doubled. The collars are then run
through machine which presses them, and they
are finished. They are then packed in boxes Of
ten each, and ten of these boxes put in larger
one, when they are ready for market


The cuffs are cut with dies after the same man
ner as the collars, the button holes cut by similar
method; then they are stitched and then packed
for market. Three styles of collars are made
plain enamel and linen surface, the paper being
finished in particular manner for each OF these
different styles The average size Of necks is IA!
inches. Some collars are made l63 inches long


but most are sold 144, IA and Is inches. The
