The Great Salt Lake.
In nn attlclo on Utah in tho Septem
ber Galaxy Capt. John Cotlman writes
an follows : We reached tho shores of
the great lake' after a drive of three
hours. Qtioh Is the optical Illusion
caused by this rarnfleri atmosphere, that
tho city left eighteen miles liehlhd us
teemed to bo only four or llvo miles
distant, tho houses being distinctly visi
ble. The formation of tho land con
tributes to this deception, ridges of
mountains running north and south, and
Inclosing valleys of n width of about
twenty-flvo miles, with no Intervening
elevations. Wo drove for an hour along
the southern bunk of Salt Lake, fanned
by the breath of its sea air, nnd looking
over Its waste of waters dotted with
mountain Islands: It required but
little Imagination to transport ourselves
to tho shores of tho Atlantic, for, ex
tending as It docs ninety miles to the
noitli, no land could be seen beyond
the line of tho clenrlyedeGncd horizon.
Some years ago a steamboat of 800 tons
was built' for freight and passenger
trafuc, In connection with tho Union
and Central raclllc Roads ; but her
fair prospects were rulued by tho con
struction of tho Utah Central, and she
now lies at tho what f, her only value
being her aid in mnklng our Imaginary
ocean seem more real. How this great
basin of salt water came to be deposi
ted in the Interior of the continent has
been n study for geographers and na
turalists. The changes that are taking
place In its character at the present day
are observed with much Interest. It
was 0rst discovered bya party of trap"
jters long beforo tho religious discovery
of Joseph Smith. When they had
tasted of its waters they supposed that
It was an arm of the sea coining in from
the Uulf of California but on their at
tempt tosail Into tlieFacinc by that route
ti,gveTiwrlvnil llm uiiiw ,llin,,nl,,r.
ineut that fell upon tho Dutchmen In
their exploration of tho North River,
although thejr might havo been led to
the same conclusions from different
teals.
Tho trappers should have realized
that the water was too salt, nnd ,llio
Dutchmen should have found that tho
water was too fresh, to communicate
with Ihe Pacific Ocean. Salt-making
has been a business of grout Importance
on the hanks of the lake since the oc
cuption of this Territory by the Mor
mons. The water is so densely saline
that it Is impossible for a body to find
the bottom,
It Is a capital place to acquire the art
of swimming with perfect safety. In
former tftues three barrels of water lett
to evapornto would produce, ono barrel
of salt ; but the freshening within tho
last twenty years haa so weakened it
that now four barrels of It are required
to obtain that quantity. It has be
come fresh therefore In a proportion of
somewhat moro than 1 per cent.yc.arly.
Hence It follows that lu less than 100
years tho name of Great Salt Lake
should bo changed ; for by this time It
will, like.Mormonlsm, bo cleared of all
Its Impurities. 1 have previously no
ticed the regular water linei, called
benches, which aro eo distinctly defined
ou all tho mountain ranges surround

passed an out-bound vessel, bearing the

by the cautain of the latter ship, who
reported that ono ol ills crew had gono

stationed lilmself aloft, and nothing
could induco.him to return to the deck.
The captain further reported that tho
madman had armed hirusolf with a
large chisel, with .which he was cutting
the ropes, aud that tho boatswain had
tried to bring him down. The maniac,

Tho lovo of flowers seems a naturally
Implanted pAsslon ; without any alloy
of debasing object in its motive, the cot
tage has IU pink, Its rose and its poly
anthus ; the villa Its dahlia, Its clematis
and geranium. Wo cherish in youth
wcnJmliethem In declining years;
but perhaps It is the early flowers of
spring that always bring with them the
greatest degrep of pleasure-; and tiur
affections seem to expand at the sight
ot the first blossom under the sunny
walls, or sheltered bank,however,hum
bre 1U race may bo. In the long born
mre months ot winter our love of na
ture, like the buds of vegetation, seems
close and torpid; but, llkothem, It un
folds and reanimates with tho opontng
year, and wo welcomo out long lost
associates with a cordiality that no
other season can excite, as friends In a
foreign clltno. The violet of autumu Is
greeted with none orthe love with which
we hall the vlotet ot spring; it Is unsea
sonable, perhaps It brings with it rather
a sort of melancholy Until a Joy ; wo
view it with a curiosity, not affection j
aud thus the lute Is uot l.ko the etlrly
