It is said that the president and are very much humiliated, while tbe postmaster-genera- l is greatly elated. Tola action on the part of the synod has given rise to all sorts of gossip. Mr. Wauamaker, it is said, fiuds it very difficult to abstain from wine, especially 'at social dinners, but owing to his position in the church and in tba Sunday school ho cannot, as a matter of principle, touch it. At one of these dinners no liquor was serred, and Mr. Wanamaker is reported to have said that as a social mffair it was a dismal failure.

The pearl robed moruinfr shook her garments free; In an old gardon sown with eglantine, Kalnt odors of tho white and saffron rose Made delicate delight, though breeze was none; And pulsing coolness, gleam of summer dawn, Stole like a spirit through tho ilex shade Where starlight wandered with tho glow worm lamp, Though penciled rays shot from the hidden sun, Set the air trembling with a sense of bliss, And overy black recess melted to gray. Soft leafage shot with rose and plumy gold. Thinned where ths branches touched tho pallid sky, Inriies the bird to rise ou rested wing And send his lore note in a ruffled song To the mate's drowsy ear, where warm the uest Lies under blossoms dripping silver dew. The cypress holds its warning finger high And whispers, "Breathe not now lest the spell break. And the earth tranced in beauty, drugged with sleep, Arouse Itself to ancient pain and loss:" But as the pale blurred morning turned to gold, There started from the shade of hoary trees Half moldered statues round a hoary fount-Li- ke harlequin tossing a crystal plume, A muss with brows august and tragic mask, Laocoon enwreatbed in snaky folds, And the great archer with his lifted dart ' Aimed at the breast of hapless N'iobr ; And then the magic of the dawn was fled, And day put on Its old relentless face.

C, were startled by the tolling of the Baptist church bell, and upon inquiry could not learn tho cause of it. Various rumors were set afloat as to why it should be rung, but no one could give a satisfac-tory reason. After hesitating a good while-- some one, with more nerve than the others, entered the belfry and found a young white boy, named Jame Dar-win, tolling away as, solemnly as theses-to- n would for a funeral. Ho was asked why he was doing eo, and his reply was: "That hid father's dog had just died, and ho had Instructed him to go and toil the bell to announce the sad news to the citi-zens of the towu."

There is every reason for believing that natural gas in immense quantities exists under the surface of the valley of the Jordan. In (mother column will bo found a description of a gas well uow in operation which yields a consider-able quantity already. V ith an expen-diture of two or three thousand dollars there is but littlo doubt that gas of great volume would be discovered. The citizens of Salt Lake can hardly afford to let tho opportunity pass. If gas in paying quantities exists it would bo but a question of a few mouths before Salt Lake City would be the most thriv-ing manufacturing center in the west. It would bo the making of a great city beside which Deliver at d till other rivals would palu into insiguilieance. Will the business men try it?

All interesting question suggested by an ancient waif of a book is tho number of English words now existing. Con-siderable difference of opinion exists on this point. Mr. George P. Marsh, an American author of repute, in his "Lec-tures on the English Language," esti-mates that the number 'in 1861 ) "prob-ably doe not fall short of 100.000;" and largo additions, especially in art and e, have cokm into uso since that date. Other writers, however, come to a differ-ent conclusion, and think that 40,000 would include tho whole. It depends a good deal on how calculations are made. If all the subsidiary wordsparticiples and the like are to be taken inro ac-count, it will swell the sum total very considerably. Taking the first three words that oc-cur at random, we find that from "dem-onstrate," in one of mr modern diction-aries, there are thirteen derivatives; from the word " bright " there are twelve, and from "deplore" there are ten. There is also redundance in other forms. In ono of Todd's editions of Dr. Johnson there are upward of eighty words with the prefix "all" and so on a very notable instance of dictionary padding. In ways like those the vocab-ulary may le indefinitely increased. Probably if we take leading words and all their derivatives, the number at the present time will exceed Mr. Marsh's es-timate. An approximate verification of this may be found by multiplying tho nuinlter of pages in any good modern dictionary by tho average number of .words in a page. Shakespeare's works, it is believed, in-clude about 13,000 separate words, and Milton's about 8,000; but from these fig-ar-we have no criterion of the extent of the actual English vocabulary. It may be mentioned here that while Coekeram has only about 7.000 or 8,000 words, there are in Bailey's Dictionary approx-imately about 80,000, and in Johnson's not more than that. In some of the larger modern works, again, the figures, as has been said, reach to upward of 100,000.' In Dr. Johnson's vocabulary many technical and scientific! terms were omit-ted, and in his original preface he ex-cuses himself in a very naive and char-acteristic fashion. "I could not," he says, "visit caverns to learn the miner's lan-guage, nor take a voyage to perfect my skill in the dialect of navigation, nor visit the warehouses of merchants and the shops of artificers to gain the names of wares, tools and operations of which no mention is found in books. An ad-verse critic might le inclined to ask: Why not? But, all the same, it will be readily conceded that he did a great work according to his lights. The science of philology has been revolutionized since his day, but his labors largely contrib-uted to the earlier stages of its progress. Chambers' Journal. The Wool Mnrkets. Bradstreet's, Business is quiet this week in all of the wool markets. Prices, as a rule, are uuchangod and firm on tho recent basis. There tire no supplies of any 'account on the seaboard, and active operations are not anlicipatod before the arrival of more considerable quan-tities of the new clip. How soon this will coino about is uncertain, inasmuch as growers ami buyers in the interior are even further apart than usual in their views of the market. The pro-ducers aro as confident as ever this season, but neither manufactures nor dealers sewn to be taking hold so readily as lust year or the year before. At Boston some of the worsted manu-facturers have nintlo fairly liberal pur-chases during the past few days. The cassiincro, hosiery and ilanticl mills are quite generally running on short time. The daily receipts from Texas and Cali-fornia are now large, In the more northern states of the west shearing is reported rather backward. PERMANENT UK AUKS. The city council in insisting upon the establishment of permanent grades is taking the correct course. This does not mean, however, that the whole city shall bo graded at once, but that auy street shall be made to conform to the established grade whenever demanded for the public good. The committee's report, which was adopted, explains this matter fully, as follows: "The grade ouco permanently laid, however, remains a perpetual uotice to property ovvuors that their improvements must be inado to conform or admit of adjust-ment to the street when it shall have been properly graded. Partial grading of a street can be made front time to time, as the public needs demand, and will each time reduce by so much, the aggregate of the work to be done. All public improvements boing in tho meantime made with reference to the final plan,, not only to remain undis-turbed, but arc augmented in value by each public expenditure for street im-provements." . Sknatok Edmunds continues to keep bis eye on Utah. ; It is to bo hoped that the federal cen-sus will put au end to the guessing fakes lor the next ten years. ' The enthusiasm at tho moetiugof the Fourth of July committees last even-ing is evidence that the celebration will be a grand success. Au. preliminary urraugemeuts for the paving of Commercial street having beon, completed, the work will be begun just'ns soon as bids for curbing, gutter-iug- , etc., cau be advertised for and tho contract awarded. Tiie Liberty park raee-trae- proposi-tion did not go through at last night's council meeting, und it in hoped by a very largo number of people that at tho next meeting it will bo defeated. This proposed race-trac- k is intended only for the owners of fast horses, and they comprise a very small part of the population of Salt Lake. The Rio Graudo Western is now a ln'oad-guag- c road in every sense of the term. It is broad-gung- e in management as well as In track. It is a splendidly equipped road, and when tho balance of tho scenic route is broad-guage- bo- - tween. Grand Junction and Denver, which will bo done in a few weeks, its business will at onco more than double. K CROSS SADDLE EQUESTRIENNE. Ch New fltyle of Riding for Women Practically Illustrated, Nettie Littell is her name. She is the flrsof young society women to brave public curiosity and criticism by using the cross saddle.

The lady's escort on the trip says of her cos-tume: "It comprises a velvet cap or broad brim black felt hat, surmounted with a black ostrich feather. Her jacket is a cutaway, trimmed with braid a la militaire; her waist is of white flannel and a tie to match. The skirt is a heavy double kilted bifur-cate- d one, walking length, so arranged as to bo used for street wear unnoticed. She wears knickerbockers and high top boots. A costume light and comfortable for either riding or walking, and one with which it is impossible to get caught, in the saddle." In regard to the side saddle, Miss Littell says: "It is a cruelty to both the horse and the woman. It injures and tires the animal, is liable to give spinal curvature and other trouble to women, leads to ono sided development and is certainly un-graceful aud unsafe." The Denver Times has not a very ex-alted opinion of Sam Small, who has been elected president of the Methodist University of Ogden. It says that ,"h might do well, per-haps, as- - an outside drummer for etudents of a university, but the prospects of his making a shining and becoming success as an instructor and presiding and directing officer aro not flattering." SALT I.AKK KEAX ESTATE. Tho number of letters daily received, not only by Secretary Gillespie of tho chamber of commerce, but by our busi-ness uum generally, making inquiries about Salt Lake, is simply astonishing, Many of these letters show that adver-tising is a paying investment, as they come from persons who have read of the advantages and resources of Salt Lake as published in eastern papers. Every profession nud every branch of trade is represented by the writers. Letters urc received also from parlies who were hero recently and invested in real estate, and have since visited Se-attle, Taeoma, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego, and they all express tho opinion that tho business of Salt Lake is in better condition - than . that of any other placo they have seen iu their travels. Furthermore, they aro all convinced that no city has brighter prospects than Salt Lake. As an evi-dence of their confidence they have 'au-thorized their agents to purchase any property in this city that may be offered at a bargain. Although real estate transfers are somewhat less than they were a fow months ago, this is by no means au evi-dence of dull times. 'Read the list of new buildings that is, being published from day to day in the Times. Over $8,000,000 is being invested in new buildings alone. Talk with the archi-tects and contractors, or take a tour of inspection on any of our streets and you will bo surprised to learn of the many improvements that are being niado. Our resources are barely appreciated. The extent of our wealth is just begiu-uiu- g to bo realized. Can sea-sid- val-ley or interior and mountain climate be found iu any other city in tho world? Can any other city compare with Salt Laku iu point of beauty? Whore will you find such broad streets, lined with shade trees, attractive houses and beau-tiful yards? All wo lank is a little more push. This is more particularly true in regard to the real estato exchange. There has been too much apathy in that body receutly. It should never be nec-essary to skirmish for a quorum. One cause, perhaps more than any other, that has been the means of keep-ing down the numbor of sales to about one-hal- f of what they might have been, is tho heavy terms of payment. Agonts have frequently lost sales because they have not been able to give favorable terms of payment. The argumeut that heavy payments show good faith is perhaps a good ono to use, but ou tho other hand tho ease of tho Dutchman iu Wichita holds just as good. Ho bought a lot for $100 and sold it for $10,000, terms one half cash and balaucc secured. When offered a mortgage on tho lot as security for the balance ho declined, saying "I want good security." The owners of property who have of-fered it for sale ou reasonable 'terms havo found no trouble In disposing of it rapidly. If ail would adopt this course the transfers would show larger totals. . Sometimes the argumeut is used that "optious are unhealthy," It is rot to call a small payment an op-tion. Many a man with a few thou- - sand dollars capital would buy if bo could make a small payment, aud ha would hieet all future payments, aud in fact be better prepared to do so than if he were obliged to pay heavior amounts and more frequently. Much of the property has been held by par-tie- s who were enabled to demand heavy payments. Fortunately this has been changed to some extent, and men in moderate circumstances can now buy a house or lot aud still have some money to live on. We cannot have, nor do we want, a city of millionaires. We want the merchant, the clerkj the mechanic and the laborer. Don't make it necessary for them to go to Tooele county in or-der to buy a house or lot on a small payment. Make it possible for them to live here. The water rate collector, Mr. Diehl, has presented to tho city council au in-teresting report. Ho calls attention to the inequalities of the present water rates. This, of course, is a suggestion to tho council that a fair adjustment of these rates should be made. He shows also that the condition of affairs iu his office is not what it should be by any means. This ho charges up to the un-businesslike methods of his predeces-sor. Mr. Diohl makes a number of im-portant and practical suggestions, which, if acted upon, will no doubt remedy the defects which he points out. It is evident that a complete reforma-tion in the manner of conducting the business of the water rate collector's ollice is needed at once. . MEN YOU HEAR OF. Cardinal Gibbons has been made an honorary member of tho Vanderbilt Be-nevolent association, of Charleston, 8. C. M. B. Curtis, the comedian, is worth $300,000. He owns a town in California which he built with the profits of lug play "Sam'l of Posen," The oldest professor of chemistry in Germany is Dr. Loewig, of Breslan. He was born in 1803, and was the celebrated Bunsen's successor at Breslau. The house in which Rider Haggard lived when in South Africa is described as a miserable hut, shaded only by a few trees, in the midst of a desolate veldt. Sir Frederick Leighton, the famous painter, is a roan with curly hair and a ruddy face that is fringed with a thick beard. He is 00 years old and has.paint-e- d about 130 pictures. Gen. Von Caprivi has banished the de-tectives who used to watch night and day before Prince Bismarck's palace when the latter was chancellor. Caprivi ays that ho is a soldier and can take care of himself. President Diaz, of Mexico, is a man of about 60 years, with an engaging ad-dress that attracts every ono who meets him. Ha is not a handsome man, how-ever. His face is swarthy, and he looks more like an Indian than a Mexican. Senator Vest is oue of the plainest men, as regards dress, in congress. Some-times his appearance has been described as shabby. His favorito garment iu winter is a rough, gray ulster, worn al-most threadbare and slit up the back. Jttstico Lamar, who never accepts a pass or present of any kind, tells this story ou himself: "Down in the locality 1 call my home lives old John Dillard. Some years ago John presented me with a very fine Aldemey cow. I said: 'John, 1 never receive presents." 'Well.' he re- - plied. 'Lamar, just give me your note, and, as you will never pay it, anyway, you will b nothing out and a cow ahead.' " Chief Justice Fuller" looks a good deal more like cavalry officer than the pre-siding judge of the United State su-preme court. Even seated ou the bench, with the golden eagle flapping its wings over his head, and clad in the silk robes of his office, there is little of the judicial about his appearance, ft is the heavy mustache, nearly white, that distin-guisff- es the chief justice from his breth-ren and gives him a war like look. He is certainly the handsomest man on the bench. One of the reasons which led the Rev. Dr. Westcott, the reglus professor of divinity at Cambridge, England, to de-cline at first the bishopric of Durham, which he has recently accepted, was the great expense which falls upon any new bishop of Durham in purchasing the fur-niture at Auckland castle, the place of tho bishopric. Bishop Barinsr, it is do-- clared, had to pay $23,000 to Bishop VU- - j liers' family for the furniture, while the revenue of the bishopric is less Own 135,000 a year. The importance of Stanley's African explorations from a commercial view is shown by a report issued by tho Congo Free Stale for 1860. According to this report the total exports 'during that year amounted to $1,714,400. an increaso of $:.'05,000 over the preeediug year. The trade of tho neighboring French aud Portuguese possessions is included in this report. The increase iu the export trade, however, was duo to the enlarged business of tho Free State, as shipments from the other possessions fell oil'. .Tho leading, article of export from Congo was ivory, of which exports to tho value of 3,5;8,810 francs were shipped. Closely ap-proaching this in value were exports of caoutchouc, valued at 2,136,554. Talm nuts, palm oil, cotton aud wax were among the othor items of export. A Trick of the Trade.
