The night's unfathomed deep Kings back no answer, gi ea no glimmering key; And still unknown, and beautiful, they keep The silent courbe of eternity. What are memories of creation's days, Vum startled chaos, from It kingdoms hurled, First knew Its master, and with glad amaze They tang the birth-son- of our trembling world? , What have they looked on since, with patient eyes, While million years uncounted rollea away? Who claims antiquity for man that dies, Be'oru auca 0 the past ai they! Can they to man his mystery explain, The why, tiie whsuce, of his uncertain State? Unlock the riddle that be reads in vain, And clear the tangled problem of his fate! Can they a fashion to the future give, And tell the whitlier of man's anxious quest? Mako life a less than weariness to love. Or stay the hazard of his wild unrest? Oh stars! what midnight message do ye bear To minds grown weary with the years' in-crease? The wistful eyes that watch you shining there, Look out of troubled hearts that know not peace. other eight months. Meantime they di-rected a sojourn in the famous Blue Uidgo mountains in Virginia. Dr. Staudard went thither but found no re-lief. He thereupon removed with his family to the Sandwich islands and, practicing medicine in a way to afl'ord him tho greatest amount of out-doo- r exercise mostly on horseback in that genial climate, ho soon began to im-prove, but his improvement did not continue long, and discouraged he wended his way back to the United States. It was by accident that the doctor stopped over in Salt Lake, for at that time the sanitary climate of this city was not known to the outside world, on his way to Butte, Montana. A few days sufliced to convince him that this was the place for him to regain his health if he could regain it anywhere. Accordingly he sold his tickets to Butto and became a worthy and respected citizen of Zion. That was seven or eight years ago, and Dr. Standard is not only still living notwithstanding the unfavorable diagnosis of f tho great lights of New York, but ho is actually improving, and while not a robust man by any means, he expects in time to re-cover his entire health. This case is merely one in a hundred and the eminent gentleman who related tho above facts to The Times is of the opinion, based upon careful and con-tinued observation, that if taken in time nineteen out of every twenty cases of consumption could be cured in this climate. Ho predicts that some day there will be hotels built here at differ-ent elevations, five hundred or one thousand feet apart, to suit tho different stages of the patient's ailment. The dry atmosphere, uniform climate, rea-sonable altitude, absence of wind storms, and sunny skies, combined with tho closo proximity of the sulphur baths and the Great Salt Lake, will conspire to make this some timo the world's great sanitarium. THE WORLD'S SANITARIUM. Speaking of Dr. Standard's paper read before the Climatological society held in Denver this week and the brief remarks made thereon by Thk Times, an eminent physician recounted tho ex-perience of Dr. Standard which enabled him to speak with greater authority upon the salubrity of the great Salt Lake basin than any other man that he kuew of. Some ten years ago Dr. Standard went to New York and placed himself uuder the treat ment of the greatest lights in the medical profession for pulmonary trouble. They made a diagnosis of the ease and pronounced him incurable. He could not, they said, survive an- - ONE THING OK THK OTHER. The Times has been urgent in the past and it is urgent now that the city council should provide tho people with an adequate water supply and cease its ruthless dallying about it. There has already been too much valuable time wasted which might havo been better employed in doing than in talking. No member of that body, nor resident either for that matter, but what knows that tho very life of the city depends upon an ample water supply. Notwith-standing the most favorable circum-stances so far it is doubtful whether we will come out alright this year or not. But even if we had a sullicieuey of water we do not possess the facilities to conduct it readily through the mains. . The man or men who laid or caused to be laid the eight inch main down Main street made a grievous mistake. No other city in tho world has mains less than twenty inches in diameter, and most of them far exceed these dimensions. It is a pretty heritage of ignorance and folly that the Liberal government had to assume, but it has now to make the best and most of it. Tho people must be supplied with a sufficiency of water at any cost and hazard. The Times, realizing the importance of the thing and the dangers of neglect or de-lay, tried to stimulate the city council to prompt action. The matter is bocoming serious. Can the council assume the responsibility of further delay? Scarcely. If the city cannot do the work as and when it should be done, then let it give a fran-chise to some person or persons, under proper regulations, willing and able to do it. We understand there are respon-sible and reliable parties here ready to undertake the job, one firm of largo ex-perience, Sullivan, Underwood & Co., having a proposition pending before tho council now. The main thing is to insure tho city, and insure it instantly, against the perils Incident to a lack of water. Wo are growing, and it is folly to expect us to jog along in the primi-tive style of the old regime. The peo-ple havo reason to expect better things of tho Liberal council. Can it afl'ord to disappoint them in the most vital of all their necessities? WHERE THF TIMES IS FOR SALE, The saitLaeeDailt Times Is lor sale at the following places: BOTETA.

Nothing so demonstrates the growth of the city as tho increase in the post office business. Postmaster Benton in his letter to the chamber'of commerce says it has nearly doubled within a year. This ought to impress the department in Washington with tho urgent neces-sity of providing better facilities and more men without delay. A voice from the tomb. Boulangor has risen to mako a stray remark. It went astray. Somehodv in this city might immor-talize himself by starting a public li-brary. Who shall it be? The knjghts ca!l Powderly their Jonah, lie should bo thrown overboard with all possible dispatch. Notwithstanding it is conceded that the Lodge bill is dead, its author is loth to believe it. He talks incessantly about It. , And now they impeacli even Mizner's personal couruge. How are the mighty fallen! ' TKACHKK SALAHIES. The committee on tho employment of teachers recommended to tho board of education last night to pay teachers WO a month for the lirst year, $0(1 for the second year and $75 for tho third year. We do not believe ,the salaries are ex-travagant, provided competent persons are employed to till tho positions. Cer-tainly no teacher worthy of the name or tho ollico would aeccptasalary of$30 a month as was suggested by one mem-ber. The Times is not an advocate of extravagance but where it comes to tho education of our youth it is willing to be generous to a degree. What trustee Nelson said about tho probation of school teachers in their lirst year is unworthy of that gentleman. We do not care to have our children experimented on. We should demand a certilicale from a nor-mal school of previous experience in some other schools as a condition pre-cedent to employing teachers. We boliovo tho board made a grievous mis-take in appointing two teachers for vocal culture. There is plenty of time for that and the money it wjll cost " might botter bo saved. While is true that music is a useful art it is scarcely tho province of tho common schools to teach it; as well introduce sewing and cooking and calisthenics at once. All these things are part of tho curriculum in certain eastern schools, but they are not imperative in tho beginning. At any rate, what is tho sense of appoint-ing two music teachers when one is more than sufficient. Aro they to to each other? We know of plenty of cities whose school attetidanco is three times as large as that of Salt Lake and they have but two vocalists, and even then there is annually a row whether to dismiss one or not. The board should bo liberal but dis-criminate in school matters. Someuody ought to read tho riot act to tho house of representatives. Baby farming in Russia is reduced to a line art. Siberia might be used to botter advantage than for the e.xilo of political offenders. Two vocal teachers for our schools! Well, we should hum. Makquis de Leuvim.b signifies his determination to light a duel to the death. Unrequited love has led to many a rash suicide. MEN ' YOU HEAR OF." Upon birthdays and at Christmas Mr. Cleveland always presents his wife with diamonds. The Spanish statesman, Castelar, is writing a life of Christ, and is also busy on a history of Spain. Col. Ingersoll believes that when he has lived through February he is safe for the rest of the year. Governor Hill is frequently a specta-tor at the New York theatres. He has an especial fondness for "Castles in the Air." John G. Whittier has attended the small church of the Society of Friends la Amesbury, Mass., where he lives, for fifty years. , Count Tolstoi recently expressed it as his opinion that tho work of all authors ought not to be published until after the writer's death. Mr. Gladstone frequently marks cata-logues of second hand books, and writes a note at the top requesting that the vol-umes indicated be sent to him. One of the most persuasive orators in the national house of representatives is W. J. Stone, of Missouri. He is tall and thin and a typical southerner. He has straight black hair and high cheek bones and the gift of eloquence. Charles Coombs Tennant, a brother of Mrs. Henry M. Stanley, has arrived in America as advance agent for Stanley's lecture tour. Mr. Tennant is a tall, dark, fine looking gentleman who bears little resemblance to the picture of his sister. Old Marshal Canrobert has recently sold his country properties, and an-nounces that he shall spend the remainder of his days in Paris. It was Canrobert who twice checked Napoleon from mak-ing an attempt to overthrow the re-public. Capt. Kane, who successfully took the British war vessel Calliope to sea during the storm which drove several American men-of-w- on the reefs at Apia, Samoa, has been made commander of the Inflexi-ble, one of the most powerful battle ships of the English navy. All the talk about running Henry George for mayor of New York is bosh. The burnt child dreads the lire, and Henry is a wiso child. oJohn L. Sullivan is still growing in the estimation of Boston. Some of these days he will have a statue by the side of Webster in the national statuary hall. Such is fame. Improvident and prodigal Froddy Gebhardt, it is said, has lost the bulk of his fortuno, and it is also intimated that Langtry's affection for Froddy is in-cluded in tho wreck, , YiiSTEHDAY's clearings as reported in This Times were $1109,1)07, the biggest on record since the opening of tho clearing house. Salt Lake will loom up this week a big toad in tho countries puddle. Idaho is in tho throes of tho lirst election held as a statu. It is waxing hot and interesting, but we beliovo tho result is foreordained. It is a matter of pride, of duty aud gratitude for tho re-publicans to sweep the lield. Let us but lay one block of pave-ment and tho rest will come fast enough. It is the first step that is the most difficult to take; after that we will break into double quick time without dolay. That is the history of all pav-ing cities. Ir is worth something to be an em-ploye of tho New York Herald. Charlos Nordhoff, for many years ono of its Washington correspondents, being worn out iu harness, was retired on half pay for life. His half pay is some-thing like $5000.. VOICES OF THE STREET- - - Did you ever meet the young man whose claim to being what is known as a "blood" rested upon his ability to hide from from sight an immense quan-tity of tho beverage which usually comes in schooners? He is such an chump that compassion tills the heart of the sympathizing observer, when it is his misfortune to meet him, rather than contempt. His ability as a beer-guzzl- is only equalled by his voluminous How of half-witte- d English. Ho looks upon it as a duty he owes mankind to impress the unfortunate "mixologist" that "he can't drink beer no more." "Why," he will add in a deprecatory manner and cock-ing his eyes at the white-aprone- saint behind the mahogony bar, "do you know I have only drunk fourteen glass-es of beer today." And then an admir-ing friend will season the guzzler's egotism with some such asinine flattery as, "oh, but tho day niu't half gone yet, aud besides you do' most of your drink-ing at night, anyway." The barkoeper represses his sneer of disgust, but it is there just tho same. Wheal hear one of these guzzler's boasting that he can stow away, or does slow away, an enor-mous quantity of the fluid which foams and bites in the glass, my rever-ence for a kindly and dispen-satin- g providence increases to its highest notch. It simply demonstrates that when brains become scarce the supply of stomachs is increased, so that what the guzzler lacks in the former is richly compensated for in the latter. A three-week- s mother, who had, by the way, nevor occupied that important position before, and who does not live ovor 800,000 miles from tho southern portion of Salt Lake City, was watching the nurse "chuck the kid" (which is the masculine version of "tossing" the baby), when the fond mamma startled the nurso's stolid nature by suddenly ejaculating, "I wonder what baby thinks, anyway?" "I don't know, mum," replied tho nurse, who doubtless had never heard of the existence of either the governor of North Carolina or tho governor of South Carolina, "but I expect sho thinks that it is a longtime between drinks." The baby was "tossed" no more that day. Thero is always a young man, usual-ly with a drooping jaw and a sallow complexion, whose existence appears to hinge upon his ability to make his pres-ence upon the street manifest by whist-ling into the ears of the pedestrian, and when ho is in a public hall he hums in a melancholy voice or drums his feet upon the floor. His whistle is seldom melodious, it is never musical and it is very nearly always out of time. His favorite is a popular refrain which ad-monishes a young gentleman of doubt-ful parentage, as none is none is given, to procure a gun of some discription and for some' indefinite purpose and causes a feeling of murder to riso up in tho breast of average man and make him want to do bodily violence to the whistliug nuisance. Sometime perhaps Johnny will get his gun and take revenge upon the whistler. it $ I have often wondered why a. build- - iug didn't fall upou The dude who wears a sash Tho fool who smokes cigarettes The bore who still says "ah, there!"

Every railroad in the city is a member. The tise of natural gas as a fuel in Ohio and adjoining states has seriously affected the local traffic of the railways. The Car Service association of Cleve-land has reduced the average detention of cars by shippers and consignees to 1.87 days. The Ontario, Carbondale and Scranton railroad the Ontario and Western's new branch to the coal fields runs from Han-cock Junction, N. Y., to Scranton, Pa., a distance of C4.37 miles. For several years the number of people killed at railroad crossings in Chicago has averaged 250 a year. The roads aro now obliged to fence their lines and erect gates at all crossings. The Railroad Gazette in a recent issue presents a tabulated statement of new railroad construction for the first sin months of 1800. It shows 2,206 miles ot track laid in that time, and 5,703 miles of road projected. Tho hill introduced into congress by Representative Gifford, provides that homogeneous steel ties be placed on all railroads within five years, which will keep the track in line and prevent the spreadiug of the rails. In ye olden times when Wall street monopolized tho money roost of the country such a failure as that of Saw-yer, Wallace & Co. would be felt from Maine to California. Today it is local-ized. So far as this city is concerned tho clearing returns were never better. Hl'KAKEK RKED. While in Boston on his way to Maine this week Speaker Reed attended a meeting that had been arranged for him, aud his reception at the same amounted almost to an ovation. y on his return trip he was halted at several stations in New York and compelled to mako a short speech at each after which ho was invariably cheered to the echo. His reception at Portsmouth was a triumphal demon-stration. It is possible, though we do not expect it, that ho may be defeated for congress next week, since his dis-trict is naturally close and the disoharge from the navy yard of several hundred men is liable to hurt him, but just now he is without a doubt the most popular man in tho republican party. In fact were he a citizeu of somo larger or more doubtful state, or wero ho not a citizen of the same slate as Mr. Blaine, and if he succeeded in his to con-gress, Mr. Reed would at once become tho most formidable oandidate for pres-ident of tho republican party. The people of tho United States like pluck in their public men, and Tom Reed possesses that quality in a most extraordinary degree. If anything he carries it to the verge of audacity. The democrats may abuse him aud curse him but ho never loses his cool self reli-ance nor probably any sleep over it. Physically aud meutally he is a big man. Iu tho speakers chair he is a law all uuto himself and right or wrong ho takes a strong hold upou the imagina-tion of the republican party. Altogether there is not another mau iu tho country just like Thomas B. Reed. The Karlsbrueke (Charles bridge) in Pragtio, Austria, which was partially destroyed yesterday by the overflow of the Moldau river, was probably the most remarkable and substantial stone bridge iu the world, and contained more than a score of monuments. It was on this bridge that the Thirty years' war begau. Floods iu Europe aro devastating southern Gormauy, all of Austria from Bohemia down to Illyria, aud part of Switzerlaud. It is fortunate for those countries that most of their crops ai'e harvested, but the damage as it is will hi widespread and almost crushing to tho poor people inhabiting them. The loss of life is already awful. SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING. Potatoes done on a wire boiler are said to excel the fried. The best covering for a poultice or a mustard paste is tissue paper. To beat eggs quickly add a pinch of salt. Salt cools and cold eggs froth rapidly. A strong solution of alum, to which las been added a little glycerine and vinegar, is a cure for mosquito bites. It is not generally known that linoleum can be waxed, like a hard wood floor, and polished with a regular polishing brush. Salt will curdle new milk; hence in preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc the salt should not be added until the dish is prepared. Salt as a tooth powder is better than almost anything that can be bought. It keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the puns hard and rosy. Detractions of Salt Lake City with-out number appear in the San Fran-cisco papers under various signatures, all emanating, however, from tho samo person, the professional and unscrupul-ous boomer of Ogden. It is poor policy in business to run down another and more powerful firm, and it is still poorer policy to libel a big city. A scurrilous attack like that invariably turns out a boomerang. Salt Lake stands upon her merits, and no lying can diminish those. We do not believe the citizens of Ogden generally coun-tenance the abuse of this city by the mountebank boomer, but they should muzzle him if they can. |
