We take the following inlcre.-ting letter from the Ait vert iter: San fijannsro, Camfoknia, ) Sept on d?e r 1, 1^7~>. j 1 made it a point to stop at the principal cities along my route, and it ?Mnot until I beirau to ^ret into Jowa that J could realize J was on mv way to California. When 1 arrived at Omaha, I concluded to stop one day and see the city. 1 can't say 1 regret it, as 1 may be the means of doing some poor fellow a great favor by advising him to stay just a* far away from the vyly </ir(y place hepm*ibhf can. The next place 1 stopped at, of interest. wasOirden, the junction of the In Jon and (Antral Pacific Railroads. l theu took llic Utah Out ml Pond for Salt Luke City, where 1 spent one night and day The lirst object one bo ho ids on entering the city is the Mormon Tabernacle. The building is oblong in shape, and is said to scat ten thousand people. In one end of the building is, the second to the largest, organ in America. I had a letter of introduction to the trreat Presideul ayil Prophet, BrigluiM Young, who shtrids ' prominently forward is one of the most remarkable men of the niueleeiith century. 4 called at his office, but he was on a visit to on> oj his trices, who was very ill, and has since died, thus leaving the poor man only *Wt> nfccnl" 1 lis private Secretary was very kind and a'lentive to me, aiid seemed to take pleasure in showing me through the Tabernacle, Temple, offices, and giving me such information as J desired. My questions to him in regard to Prigham and his wives were numerous, i assure you, for 1 was not satisfied to believe everything I had read, and concluded if it came, direct from Brigham Young's office, if must be so. liHKt? 1.-113" roinilHjs inu in uivi-u vi 1 It*. S. and one groat peculiarity of tho city is tliat 011 each side of the every street there runs a beautiful, clear stream of water. The city was very dusty and dry, and remarkably quiet. The scenery surrounding Salt Lake City is bold and impressive; piles of mjow can be seen in the gorges where tin warm sunlight has not the power to melt it. Though these mountain peaks are bare in summer, these narrow detili adndeep cha-?ms retains their icy treasures as though they feared the advent ol Hfe,wurnitU and vey/.tatiou. j will proceed and not speak of tin many funny things I saw along tht Railroad, but muxf say a few word? about Uape Horn, as it was there 1 be came frightened out of ten yearn f/rowt/i It is the most dangerous place I ever be held.

It is j very pretty place and lias some beauti ful buildings ; among them is the new Capitol, which is a magnificent struct ure of brown stone. .Before going across the Bay into Sa? Francisco, 1 will dwell for a few mo ments and speak of Oakland, which i* I think, one ol' the prettiest places J ever saw. It is only a few miles across the liny from San Francisco. Whit Brooklyn is to New York City, so a: Oakland to Sal) Francisco. The namh of the city is significant of ils surround imrs. as it is situated in an extensive grove of ever-green oaks, with orchards parks, gardens and vineyards on eveiy side. Nestling amidst this forest <> perpetual green ean he seen the sub stantial residence of the wealthy merchant and the neat and tasteful, cottage of the "well to'do" mechanic, who havt been attraeled here by its grand Keenery mild climate and' quiet surroundings. Oakland is lighted with gas; lias liroai: and well paved itrectsj is abundantly supplied with water; supports horn ears ; and runs two daily newspapers. Now, my dear readers, we have arrived at Han. Francisco. And in my humble opinion, it is the greatest city in America.Twpiitv-fl ve years ago, it was a mere town of 25,000 inhabitants; to-day, she boasts a population of -(<<?,00?, and is rapidly increasing. Snn Francisco is strictly a cosmopolitan city, and as to business of aft brauchcx, it surpasses any city 1 ever saw. It was a great curiosity to me when I first arrived to go down on SCaifornia Street and watch the stock brokers speculate in mining stocks. Thousands and thousands of dollars change hands! There are very-'young men J>ore who have made their hundred thousand dollars, and not being satisfied with that muSIif, have loat all in trying to double it. iki.,. .1.... tlm li'inlr nf f'nlifnrilia 1 lie Uil^ UIU4 V??V. w v .. suspended, its President, Win, (J.

We have frequently called atten.ion to tiie great boon the cow is to ho poor man, and the large profits jf a good dairy. This is especially jhe ease where only r low cows are cept and are well cared for. A friend of ours, with three grade hort horned cows has realized no ess than ninety dollars from the proil net of each now, in a tingle season, besides the milk and butter used in the family. Hut those favorable results depends upon two conditions jne or both of which we frequently *cc overlooked or disreguardod to wit. First, tliiit we have a good cow, good form?that a prolitablu disposition may be in ado of the carcass l'or beef, when the cow is no longer wanted fV>r tl.e dairy, and a liberal, and steady milker. It is comprehensible to us that a j)00r cow should ever be used when good ones can be obtained at so small an advance upon the common price.?This is especially true when seed is high, and the animals kepi with a view of supplying milk and butter for the family or market. Indeed inferior cows should not be kept for an}'purposes, but should be slaughtered for beef as soon as their inferiority is discovered. To keep an illformed cow, or a poor milker, for a breeder, is oven worse eeonomy than for the dairy, as in ibis way we perpetuate and multiply unprofitable stock. The second condition for success with the daily cow is that she have si plenty to eat and the best and kindest treatment. All farmers under stand tho importance of crowding hogs designed for^slaughlor?that il takes half as much to make an ani tnal "hold its own" as to keep up tlu highest degree of gain, and that therefore if we only half feed, whal is consumed is a de::d loss: so it i; when we merely keep alivo youn?j cattle or 'other stock.
