and within its borders lies that immense
inland salt water sea which has excited
the wonder and admiration of the world.


The population of the entire Terrific
ry, now exceeding 100000, lies in the
belt of the country extending from Salt
Lake, the Jordon and Utah lakes on the
west to the Wasatch mountains on the
east, and as far south as the head-waters
of the River Virgin, which falls into the
Colorado after passing through Arizona.
This belt is about one hundred and six
ty miles in length, with an average
width of sixty miles. This population
is largely made up of Mormons, or of
those favorable to that bigoted and non
markably rich in mines, and it is conf
IDENTIFY declared by old miners that as
rich gold leads exist in Utah as in Cali
fornia. But the policy of the Mormon
Church has been from first to last strong
ly against the development of these in
terests. for very palpable reasons. The
opening Of rich mines would cause an
immense immigration into the country,
and of such peculiar character as to
demoralize the disciples and ruin the
prospects of the hierarchy. Until the
Pacific railroad was pushed through the
country this policy was maintained
The little settlements that sprang up
along the line of the road were made up
of rough go-ahead people, who cared
little for Brigham Young or his COM
mands. They soon discovered the wealth
which nature had SO literally bestowed
upon the country, and went to work to
profit by it. They have already, with
in the narrow belt mentioned, prospect
ed enough to warrant the statement be-
fore made that Utah, in mineral wealth,
especially gold and silver, is second to
no other possession of the American
Union. And yet hardly a quarter OF
the area of the Territory has ever been
explored while the remainder is liter
ally terra incognita to even the gov
ernment surveyors.


But thanks to the energetic restless
ness of our Western emigrants, this igno-
rance is not to be of long continuance.

The elements opposing the reelection of
the President are unfortunate in not hav-
ing some strong common grounds upon
which they can unite and around which
the people will rally with confidence and
enthusiasm. If we look for the elements
that are necessary to make formidable
party, we fail to find them in the hetero-
geneous mass that clamor for new party
organization. Free Traders like Gov.
Cox and Judge Brinkerhoof are trying to
join hands with Horace Greeley and Col


Mcclure, men claiming to be enon-partisan,
like Schurz and Trumbull, are coquetting
with men like Sumnerand logan, who all
their lives have been the strictest parti-
sans-Sumner cracking the party lash
over the heads of Senators in the Inn
parchment trial as though their party ties
and not their consciences were to control
solemn opinions. Then, we have old party
hacks and bar-room politicians, like Frank
Blair and Gratz Brown, trying to embrace
such men as Associate Justice Davis and
and ex-Attorney General Hoar. Looking
at these incongruous elements we are nat
urally led TO inquire, what is to cement
them together and make them a compact,
strong organization. The main cry upon
which these men hope to rally the people
is that against coTuption?o But will
honest men feel more like trusting party
which,if formed at all, must be built main
ly out of the timber of that old
reasonable, corrupt party that has betrayed
its trusts and abused its powers until
its own leaders confess the people will
never again trust it? The party that
plundered New York city of hundred
millions and donated, without stint, the
peoples money to political ecclesasti-
cism; the party that involved the country
in war and resisted every measure intend
ed to protect the people against rcpe-
tition of it, cries out against the adj.
minstration of President Grant and
hopes, under the cry of reform and
a new party name, to induce people
to support it. Is this false cry, platform
enough upon which to rally all the va


rious opposing factions? VIII it afford
the nucleus for a great party about which
the people will rally? We think not. We
believe all who are interested in faithful


administration Of the laws all who want
the national credit unimpaired all whC

they made by digging few feet be-

And gold be found at roots of trees,
Through hills man shall ride,


And no horse or ass be at his side.

The frivolity of the fair sex is the
leading topic Of the day. It is the
theme Of strong-minded women, and
the pet hobby of weak-minded men.
Everywhere you hear it discussed
and wondered at. The fact is ap-
parent, but the cause is obscure. 1t
is argued that never since tie world
began was there so much culture, 50
much intellectual brilljancy, display
ed among our noted women rs at
the present time. why then, in the
midst of such Intelligence, is there
such a large number of vain and
foolish women. To this query we
offer the following reply. Much of
the affection and shallowness attrib-
uted/to " our girls of the period" is
due to tho unwise management of
vain mothers, who in haste to dis
play the charms and accomplish
ments of their children, bring them
out in society almost in their infan-
cy.

Prickly heat is easily cured in one
day, by using the warm bath for ten
minutes, then rubbing the affected
part with lemon juice. The warm
water dissolves the salts that are
lodged under the skin so does the
lemon juice. When the eruption
stings and burns, lemon juice rubbed
on the part affected will give relief
in few moments. Possibly strong
apple vinegar might act in the same
way. Persons who cannot get lem
on juice might use nitric acid dis

No NECESSITY FOR LYING.-It is
painful to see a man-otherwise so re-
pectable-unreliable in the place where
men meet him most; for it weakens his
hold upon the popular regard, and can
not fail to depreciate his own self-re-
spect. You must feel ashamed, at times,
to realize that your word is not believed,
and to know that you have not a
customer in the world who feels at all
sure about getting work done by you
until it really is done and in his hands.
The kind of life you lead must also be
an exceedingly uncomfortable one.


Now, my dear friend, there is not the
slightest necessity for this, and there IS
no apology for it. 1t had very natural
beginning, but you ought to have
learned long ago that it was not requis-
ite either to your prosperity or your
comfort. You get work in spite OF your
lying, and not in consequence of It,.
That is the only thing people have
against you. They give you their GUS
tom because YOU are a good workman,
and for nothing else; and no man leaves
your shop for another except for the
reason that he cannot depend upon your
word. You never made dollar, or
saved friend, by all your lies.


Honesty, reliableness, truthfulness-
these are at premium on all the mar
kets of the world; and you have made
yourself miserable and contemplate
throughout your life for nothing. You
business is always at loose ends, every.
body is crowding you, many of them
abuse you, and it all comes of yOU
promising to do work before it is possi.

THE GIRL WHO WINs.-The time
has passed away when woman must be
pale and delicate to be called interesting
when she must be totally ignorant of
all practical knowledge to be called re-
fined and high bFed-when she must
know nothing of the current political
news of the day, or be called masculine
and strong minded.


IL is not a sign of high birth or refine
ment to be sickly and ignorant. Those
who affect anything of the kind are be-
hind the times, and must shake up and
air themselves mentally and physically,
or drop under the firm strides of COM
mon sense ideas, and be crushed into
utter insignificance.


In these days an active, rOsy-faced
girl, with brain quick and clear, warm,
light heart, quick temper at intended
insult or injury, and just as quick TO
forgive; whose feet can run As fast rs
her tongue and not put her out of

to breath the pure air of heaven, unre-
strained by the drawn curtains OF close
carriage and above all, who can speak

portant topics which interest intelligent
people, is the true girl who will make a
good woman.
