Without warning he sud- donly enters the broad Salt Lake valley gith its irrigated meadows and heavy laten orchards, with its quaint villages and bus- tling towns. But it is not tho same sceno which Brigham Young and his little band of Mormon followors viewed as they toiled down the mountain side with their ox teams and hand-carts just fortysix years ago today The valley was one greatalkalidesert, for. tile only in sage brush, and uninhabited ex- cept by the coyote and the prairle dog. Their sufforings from fatiguo and hunger, and danger from the Indians on the long Journey, were often to be repoated. Nature gave them no encouragement, There was nota tree in the whole region. Water was scarco and not fit to drink, So to Gentile and Mormon alike, the transformation of the desert into & garden scems ulmost o wirac Toduy the potatoes and peaches of Utah are prized from coast to coast. Salt Lake with the valley as its tributary has not a rival within a distance greater than from New York to Chicago, and though its business is materially affected by the general depres- sion and doeline in silver it has had nota ngle vhile crash after crash 13 bo the country. Streets are being paved and business blocks and rosidences orected, showing signs of a solid aud steady growth, Historle ights, The city has an interest from its histori ssociations. On all sides are reminders of le pioneer days and institutions intimately connceted with Mormonism. Here and thoro You find remnants of great stone walls that Wore used for protection against the Indian, On the corner is the old tithing house where m that drove to market must enter sposit & tenth part of its wares 18 the Bagle Gate through Latter Day Saints passed s To ~ the west of the re the Brigham Young mansions with uumerous gables and chimneys and o royal lion crouched above the gate. Tho chimnoys, however, scem to be the char- acteristic feature of the architecture of tho Lion house, as it 13 called, and it is a eurious fact that the number of chimneys and the number of help-meets of the great Mormon loader soem to correspond. Across the st is the more pretontious structuro which Prosident Young built for his favorite wif Aumelia Folsom, still known as the Amelia palace. Amolia, by the way, is a second cousin of Mrs. Grover Cloveland. But time makes great changes and the palatial man- sion whore the first Mormon of the land was wont to entertain his gucsts, with cruel frouy now welcomes tue inebriate as a Keely lustitute. Towers Above All, But far above all other structures riso the massive gray towers of the Temple. The exterior of cut granite, the piering spires and rounded archways are all that_the pro- fane oyo may view. For since its dedication none but the members of the church are per- orits portals. It is used only narriage, funoral, baptismal and other ul services, whilo regular services are in the Tabernacle, which stands adja- cent to the Temple. 'This is an immenso elliptical cdifico of a peculiar construc- tion, the domed roof vesting only ou the outer walls with no_central sup- ports. It hus a seating capacity of 8,000, and 250 voices in tho choir swell forth in harmony with the great organ. This pride of Mormondom, which is smaller than only one church organ on the western continent, was constructed and erected entirely by Mormuu talent. But the acoustics of the auditorium are so nearly perfe that a great volume of sound is not necessary to make itself heara, The voice in the pulpit may be heard distinctly at the other ond of the Tabernacle, and in certain places a whisper may bo understood the length of the building. I'lio Mormon services resemble those of Other sects, but are peculiar to themselves. After the opening hymn and prayer, the bread is blessed and passed among the vast congregation. For the sermon the presid- Ang bishop takes no text, and his subject is emmently practical. More than likely he will talk about how to exterminate potato bugs or the best metnods of irrigation. Right in the middle of his discourse ho and blosses the wine, and then pro- ceeds without further intorruption. Tho sing of the contribution box does not form & part of the services, With the closing hymn and benediction the congregu- tiou is dismissed. “Tho Tabernaclo is used tainments as well for secular onter- as. as religious services. Mme. Patti more than - once has filled tho great hall with her wonderful voice. And today thousands gathered there to commemorate the coming of the Mormon Ppioucers in 1847, Ploneor Day 13 tho Mormon Fourth of July, and Gentiles and Mormons alike celobrate. The big and thelittle, the veteran who crossed the plains with an 0x team and noewcomer who vamo by railroad, all joined to do houor to_the pio- ueers. There was but a handful of the orig- inal emigrants of 47 who drovo the oxen aud pushod the hand carts, as thoy sat among tho ships of the prairie which formed an apvropriate decora. tion of the stand. But what was perhaps most noticeable and significant to the stranger was the red, whiteand blue and the flag of the union, conspicuous in the decora- tion of the platform. The fuil church choir and the pealing organ filled the air with praises for the suc- cess of the powers, President Woodrufft and Governor West told of their hardships and their triumphs, and with the old songs and hand-cart exercises tho duy appropriately brought to tho minds of the younger generd- tion facts which cap nevor o erased from the memories of the pionoers. The afternoon brought the multitude to- gother at Gartield beach and Saltair, whore spoeches, music, dancing and bathing drove dull caro away. Down by the Beach, Garfleld beach is the older and more popu- lar resort, and its beach is unsurpassed. The Union Pacifie controls it and carries passengers to tho shores of the great salt poud for 115 cents a mile. Saltair is a new resort built up by Mormon capital, and has provably the finest pavilion on this side of the Atlantic. Its dancing floor will easily accommodate 3,000 couples, and everything else is arrangod on the same scale. The Omaha Colony. Omaha has quite a little colony in Salt kuku. many of whom will be remembered. at Brigham, the hero of “Mr. Sampson of Omaha,"” has recontly become United States marshul. Ho is atill'us robust us when he pulied an oar on the Harvard crow, uud his Voice has lost none of its sweetress since Apollo club days. D. E. Burley, who was onve sherifl, is the popular passenger agent of the Union Pacific. “Another Omaha mun, Will McMillan, occupies the same position for the Burlington. Ex-Councilman Riepin has one of the largest restaurants in the city. Charles E. Pomeroy, who, in the early days, was manager of the Western Union oftice, has given up telegraph busiuess and is now a retired capitalist. G. .

Baogkok strotches along the winding shoresof the Menam river for nearly ten miles ,but all of the most Important part of the city is included in tho district on the east bank of the river, says the New York Sun The place where the French gunboats that asconded the river anchored was, ne- cording to a cablo dispatch, oppo- sito the ocustom house. Ihis s A favorite anchorage, and the French boats steamed nearly halt way through the big city before they reached it. They are about threo miles from the palace and o little over two miles from the city wall, which includes a great deal of wne most valuablo part of Bangkok. The city wali 18 bunt m u most sub- stantial manner of brick. There 18 no such' thing as building stone within many miles of Bangkok. The wall is about thirty foet wido at the baso and thirty foot high, and it encloses an_area about six miles in circumforence, The greater purt of Bangkok now lies outside the city wall, including most of the logations and onsuls But the palace of the king and the numerous buildings connected with it, all of which aro fonced in by another wail, and somo of the public buildings, are within the city wall, Across the river from the uppor corner of tho city wall is the navy yard, ot very im- posing in its buildings or equibment, u both sides of the river for miles floating stores and awellings numbering thousands are moored against the river bunks. The stores aro all in tho hands of Chinese morchants, and are the daily resorts of myriads of the natives, who flock to the riyer to buy all sorts of supplies. . Thousands of families live in the floating houses a8 in most of the Oriental cities where the riverine papulace is usually large, Starting from the palace wall is the road, the principal thoroughfure on terra firma in Bangkok, This city has bosn called “The Venice of the Fast' on account of tho large number of canals that venetrate it. There are fow roads intersecting this main thor oughfare, but there are plenty of canals run- iug under it, reaching tho river in ono airection and oxtending often far into the country in the other. he palace enclosure embraces about 100 acres. Within tne city wall live about 20,000 women, in a distriot set up.rt for them, where they aro licensed to carry on thoit disreputanie calling.

They are at Samray, on the right bank, about ‘two miles below ' the Oriental hotel, and a branch of Presbyterian missions is on tho right bank, nearly opposite the palace. Most of the forcign residents, when thoy wish to travel from one part of the city to the other, go by boat on the river through the caral that will take them n thoir destination. Bangkok lics on feot abovo the river level, and it is, there- foro, very casy to dig canals that will lead the river to every part of the c The whole city, which contains about $00,- 000 people, is so embowered in trees that it is not casy at any point to get the impres- sion that ene is in a large city.

Aendrix, the Missouri mem- berof the Southern Methodist College of Bishops, firmly believes that a good story is often the best moans of illustratinga point in a speech and of conveying a clearer mean- ing than any phrase or sentence. He carried out this conviction in an ad- dress ho delivered at the recent reception given to the College of Bishops at St, yohn’s church in St. Louis. He was encouraging the churches of St. Louis in their effort to raiso a £00,000 church tension fund, aud asserted that a firm resolve and resolute work with an optimistic view to the future would accomplish the purpose, and to illus- wate vhis said that a milkman was once ap- proaching a city with milk to sell. Crossing a brook he began meditating, and came to tho conclusion that nis milk wis too vich for city people, and dipped up a bucket of water and poured it into the can of milk. Two trogs were . the bucket of water. One was an optimist, the other a pessimist. They resolved to make an effort to stay on top and keop from drowning. The pessiu SCON ZAVe it Up, Saying it was 0o use trying to keep up, it could not_be done and sank to tie bottom and died. The optimistic frog suid, “Well, T will just keep kickig,” and s0 with a fiem resolve and resolute kick he kevt on top, and when the grocer to whom tho milkman sold his stock went to remove it from tho can he found not only a can of milk, but in ita large pat of butter, and, sitting on top of it the triumphant optimistio froz, He hud succeedad by tirm resolve and resolute work. The pillar of the church in Detroip trem. bled with emotion. Ho clutched the back of the pow and gazed about him wildly. ~His lips moved. “Heaven forgive me," he murmcred “if I Judge a fellow boing too hastily.” He turned to the congregation with tears in his eye “Brethren’'— His voice shook. “There is a load upon my heart. I feel that I must testify. Pray for mo that I may have strength to do what is right.” The heads of the congregation woro bowed as the petition for grace ascended. * “Brothren’'— The pillar was speaking again. 1 have something to say of the reformed burglar who has been edifying our souls with his testimony of salvation.

A NOVEL RACE FOR OLD SOLDIERS hort Treatise on the Woodeock—RBreesy Morse Gossip—Wheel Whisperings Tips on the Trotters—The Usual Bateh of Local Sporta. ALLY, it begins to look as if the profes- sional pugilist is bound to annihilate that proverbial goose with the wolden egg proclivi ties. The very best men,not only in Cal- ifornia and New Or- Y loans, the original latter day strong- holds of the short- in New York, are out, out, of the game for and those superintending Roby's fistic institution will soon follow suit. They arc a bad and unreliable lot, these fighting vogetables, at the best, with about as much idea of honor and principle as a hog has of thoe art of docalcomania. Their word is as good as their bond, which is equivalent to the declaration that neither is worth a whoop in hades, haired, but or gotting keevs, In justice to the small fry, however, and the fameless pugs, the blame must be be- stowed where it belongs, and that is to the army of champions that are running at large. The extravagant purse busincss has metamorphosed the fighter, and instead of being willing now to enter into a contest with the prosvect of fair reward as a salve for bruises and contuses, he demands the most egregious pay, the loser cven recoiving more than champions of the bare knucklo period use to battle for. It was o farce in tho first placo to hang up 225,000 for Sullivan and the Midway Plaisance to strive for, notwithstanding 1t proved a success; actu- ally culpable to even promise Hall and Fitz- simmons $40,000, and almost putting a pre- mium on crime to hang up #45,000 for Charlie Mitchell and he of the upright haiv to paste euch other for, In the face of all theso facts it is refresh- ing to note the retrograde motion among the povular and cupable backers of this sport, and it will be a joyful day when the ranks of the prize fighter are dispersed and he is compelled to chase himself into some brick- yard or rolling mill us & wmeans of subsist- ence. Ever since the first provosition of a meet- ing between the Englishman and Jimmy Corbett, as Pete Donohue persists in calling him, the readers of Tue Bee know that I have scouted the idea, and it 1s flattering to me to know that today I have about overy ninety-nine out of every hundred legitimate sporting men with me.” There 1s about as much likelihood of Mitchell and Corbett meeting in o fight next December as there is in Corbett’s proving that heis a gentleman. The latter man has signed with both the Coney Island and the Columbian clubs, and with each alternating day he repudiates one or the other. Mitchell has signed with the Roby contingent, but is still negotiating with Now Orlenns. So there you are. Does it look very much like business, or like the machinations of a few astute advertising cats? The probabilities are that the sport-loving people of the United States care vast deal” less about where Mitchell and Corbett agreo to fight, than they do about the real question in the matter, will they fight? I have long upheld the American’s love for fair play, of the honor of our ath- letes and the iutegrity of the sporting class, but it is rather humiliating to see this pretty sentiment blotted out by one fell blot, and by a lot of irre- sponsible and undeserving prize fighters at that. Agreements with reputable business men cut no figure with these peopl will repudiate any sort of a compi sight of an_additional doliar, and it is the duty of tho very few clubs of standing that exist in the whole country today, and you can count them on the fingers of one hund with the thumb shut off,to teach these high priced professors of the hit and get away gume that they are not dependent on them for either emolument or pleasure. And hero it is over again. The mat tween Solly Smith and Champion Georgo Dixon is off. Dominick O'Malley was even munificent in offering these boys a purse of #8,000 to fight for, and shrewd Tom O'Rourke was likewise generous in consenting to the proposition that tho loser should take This was an unnecessary courtesy to Abrahams and Solly. It would make precious little difference to O'Rourke and Dixon whether they split up the small end of the purse or not, and 1f such was to be their fate, I believe they would rather get nothing, just s0 they might enjoy the bitter of defeat for once in their lives in all its fullness. both got plenty of the stuff already, and what would a paltry £250 be to ther in such an emergency. But O'Rourke consented to 00 for the beaten man and wotted off to New York with the little Haligonian, fecling_that they had ulveady addea as good as ¥7,500 to their joint bank account. Last Monday, however, O'KRourke receives O'Malley’s articles of agroement stipulating thai the loser is to receive $1,000 instead of 2500, enough for most men to fight for. To say thut O'Malley’s officiousness in the matver nearty knocked O'Rourke off his props, is but sticking close to the truth. “To, with O'Malley, Solly Smith, Chicago the World's fair, the Columbian club and the whole broad west,” ojaculated Tom, as soon as his breath returned from a little trip around the corner, on which it had been propelled by the Roby president’s gall, “we'll not fight em at all.” And he meant what he said, for he suc- cinctly wired O'Malley that the fight was nixey, and his articles of agreement would be returned by freigh And O'Rourke was right. Geerge Dixon is the bona fide champion of the world in his class, and the ouly champion of the world, by the way, in any cluss, and has a good, solid right to name tho stipulations in any engagement he sees proper to enter. Ho and O'Rourke merely consented to 500 to the loser out of professional courtesy, and nothing more. ‘They had no fears about hogging the wholo shooting mateh if they wanted to play the pork. Anent tho Smith family, The query has been put o me frequently of late whother Solly is a Jew or not, but until the last duy or two [ have been unable toan- swer the question. 1 wrote ton friend in in Frisco recently and he replies that Smith’s proper patronymic is Solomon Puluski, and,that settles it. Whether he is any relation to Count Pulaski, Omaha's for- mer illustrious dog cateher ornot, 1 um still incapable of stating. But I'll hunt up the count and let you kuow later, ‘The Columbian club, notwithstanding its allogod problematical ~status, is quietly making preparations for # colossal fistic carnival o take place iu snowy December: It is hinted that it will relegate into insig- nificent any of the Crescent City's past wchiovements, all of which, however, is a very decided mistake.

(n addition to this accomplishment, however, they bagged two brace of woodcock, some- thing that hasu't been done in this neighbor- hood for years. So far as my experience &oes, and 1 have done a good dcal of shooting in the eight years I huve boen here, I have never ruu across but one woodeock, Scolopax minor, but fuiled to bring it to bag. This was in a corntield on the Logan, near Ban- croft, four years ago. Since then I have scen none of these birds even in the market. The woodcock is the most singular and mysterious of all our feathered game, and cAuliffe and Jimmy Carroll for Sepiember, | likewise the most rare. During the day the 30, 1803--SIXTEEN PAGES woodeook keops woll within the covert of thick woods or tangly thickets hordering riv ers and streams, but in the avening seoks tho higher and more open flolds to feed. Early in the present month, particularly if the hot wenther has boen lonk continued, they make thoir principal habitation on the marshy shores of our larger _stroams, their favorite springs and damp rotreats inland boing by this time dried up. Here they must be sought, and a good rotriever isof measure loss benofit. The sport in such places is even more laborious than jacksaipe shoot ing, a8 old logs and dense masses of brush and vines soon tire the most enorgetio. As the Nobraska sportsman has but_a modicum of this kind of sport, however, it wouid be supererogatory 1o 2o into the details of the same. Suffice it to say that Messrs, Icken and Kauffman are Omaha's champion wood- cock shooters, and if you desire to know whero they killed their quartet of birds, all You've got to o 18 ta hold ono o the othor of them up some night, and at the muzze of a gun make them “‘cough.” H.

Thedam of Ontoniam is Angeline, 130 the dam of Online, who took the pacing record for 2-year-olds last year, 2:11. Ange- line now has a proud distinetion of being the dam of the fastest pair on record. She is by Chestor Chief 2,172, out of Lady Pine by Mapes Horse 2,003 Her siro was sired Hamblotonian 10, as was also Mapes Horse, thus giving Angeline a double cross of the blood from whence comes nine-tenths of the spoed of the present day.

It is urn shaped and stands nearly a foot from the buso to the beautiful miniavure horse ex- quisitely wrought in silver, which sur- mounts the whole.
