In the opinion of many, well qualified tojudge, there is no need of them in Utah.

I wish all our eastern commercial men and capitalists would jmsscss themselves of a copy of this valuable work, as it contains most important facts, that should tie well understood, by all who desire to know of the developed, and undeveloped wealth orti.is rich and vast domain. This work Just out d of press, is published by the publishing Go., of this city, a world, of most and contains valuable information brought to light by great research and labor, in the most intelligent manner, by its talented and industrious author. There is nearly 230 miles of completed railroads, in the territory, of which about KM) miles were constructed last year. These are all paying institutions, in perfect order and ably officered. The freighting and passenger business upon them is simply cr-al- The Deseret Telegraph Co., of which Brigham Young Is Brest., extends throughout the territory, mining camps Ac., some 1,000 miles, and connects with the eastern and western lines that span the continent and the world.

A book peddler visited Mark Twain at home to get his sulwcrip-tio- n for a new work, of which he carried ft copy. He found the genial Mark hoeing in his garden, He was kindly received and asked to take a seat. He took a seat. The seat was on the top of a fence, the uppermost rail of which was sharp. He was not happy when he sat down, and he got no happier as he remained. He remained there, too, a very long while, and Mr. Twain was very kind. He talked to him alxHit the lxok and its author, whom lie knew; about the and pictures, and the letter-prosthen lie branched off into other and very deep literary subject-- of which the agent knew nothing. After an hour or so Twain hospitably asked the agent into the houe, and then he talked to him some more. The agent w:is getting very tired and very hungry. Twain excused himself for a moment, and stayed away an hour, during which time the agent suspects he took his dinner, lie came back, and was still very kind and talked again. It was now nearly G p.m., and the agent had come about 11a.m. He had nothing to eat, and not a word had been said about subscription. IIo grew desperate, and asked Twain if he would subscribe. I think I will, hut not drawled Twain, and we will come talkalmut it. The agent decamped, and he now swears though he had a nice time, and Twain is a good talker that he will never go hack again; no never. R. M. k Petek Saxf..
