LNTEREsflk^TlLETTER.
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. The cars run around the (.dye ol
a mountain and only a few feet from 11
tremendous precipice -.'>()) feet high.
This is the grandest sight I ever saw,
"When the train stopped on it, to givi
the pHssengers ami opportunity <>f wit lowuni-r
tlx- htrautv and the trrandeuro
the scene, i got out arid, ut nn
first (fiance, drew buck with t> shudder
one look into the awful chasm beinu
sullicient to unsettle icy nerves and de
prive me of the wish to'Jinger near tin
grandest scene on tlie whole line of tin
Pacific llaiiroad.
lire next place I Stopped at was Sacra
luento, the Capital of the .State. 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.

great shock upon the whole community.
His funeral was paid to have been liit
largest ever seen in the United Stales,
not even excepting that cf P.csideiil
Abraham Lincoln.
There are some elegant buildings in
San Francisco; among them arc the
ditlerent Banks,"the new City Hall, and
thej'alace Hotel. Of the latter, 1 must
say a few words. It certainly deserve.*

Tlie Cow Theory.
Speaking of the cow theory?tliut
s, Hint a man with live acres of land
:un maintain himself, his family and
lis cow?a writer in the Farmers'
Magazine for last month has the 101owing:
On SirBalwiu Leigh ton's estate in
Shropshire, England, pauperism is alnosL
exterminated hy means of the
jow, iL being the rule rather than the
ixeeption ]or a laborer to have sums
varying from ?20 to ?S0 put in the
saving bank out of the proceeds of
1 1 ~ 7 conn "fliA
?IJU SilHJ ui uuiti;i. a jiitvu ?^u n.v
jooks with the sum cni.ered to their
jredit. Most cottages iias two or
.hree old fields attached to the holdng,
mostly laid down in grass. The
;ow however, is only a second string
,o the laborer's bow, and docs not in
my way interfere with hisgiving efficient
sorviee 10 the farmer, as the cow
;an be looked alter L>y the wife, who
nakes the butter and sends it to market
by t liu carrier.
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. But in no in
stance does full pasture, or a propel
supply of other i'ood in winter, 01
when pasture is short pay better, ii

THE YOUNG LADY FROM PARIS
We who have passed the season a
Saratoga are singularly fortunate ir
at least one rcspect We have ha<
the very latest Parisian toilettes (lis
played morning noon an ! night by ;
dasninj young belle who has just tc
t urned from abroad, and who has eon
trivod to astonish even !Xcw Yorker.'
by ,icr attire, which is all made al'tci
the very latest Parisian fashion1*; ami
really, if next 3*ear we are to l?o dress
ed in this mode whet her we wili 01
not, what a curious looking set o
mortals we will be! Ladies who :i;'<
inclined to he stout will have to re
tire into obscurity, for .Madame La
Mode has utterly ignored them in de
vising Iter newest caprices, Thi
young lady from Paris is gotten up fi(
fearfully slim that wo gaze upon hoi
in wonder and dismay, and real I >
shudder lost she should become hj
degrees so attenuated as to Pome (hu
vanish altogether. J>wt as she make.'
a very extensive breakfast, and dine:
fur an hour or more, we believe she i:
more substantial, after all, than slu
looks. She wears her hats, which in
elude twenty or more different styles
exactly upon the back of her head
not placed back from the forehead
as in the mode with most ladies bill
placed in a perpendicular position ii
the roar of her elaborate eoifl'urc, anc
we have been puzzling ourselves v
whole morning to see how she does it
Tight fitting skirts, without a- gathoi
or pleat in them, and with immense
trains, sleeveless polonaises of velvcl
elaborately embroidered in colors,
huge sashes knotted up in the most
marvelous way, colored silk stockings,
alno embroidered and costing
from fifteen to twenty dollars a pair,
open worked shoes to display mis
L'ostly hosiery, silk pocket bankercihicfs,
wliite lace veil?, and fans' as
hugo as (hose our grandmothers used
lo furnish their grown up daughters
with?these are a few among the
many eccentricities just imported
from Paris by this Saratoga belle, it
is not at all surprising that toilettes
'0 fiir in advance of the present. American
mode should he extremely conspicuous,
and our fashionable belle
<eems to enjoy the stares and comments
which are liberally bestowed
upon her. The young lady of the
present day is not to l>e frigtened because
she is stared at. She expects it
md will he disappointed if no one nolices
her. In what elso should she
lovotc her whole time and thought
except to the subject of dress?if she
s not to be looked at when she has
i i if :
u i ?i#\ IMJ iiurnuii in itiiiui.iio ?? mvyii

hull by it>; superior splendor ^?Svr?
- - </>
Advick to Farmers.?To sum up
he whole in a few words, the farmers,
o he prosperous, must ?
1. (.'ease to buy supplies that can lie
aised on their farms.
'11 lev must cease to huv fertilizers,
xccpt to supplement home manures,
. arct'uily husbanded under shelter.
:J>. They must reduce their planting
lown to a cash basis.
I. They must demand such a tax upon
logs and such protection from their raviges
as will enable them to.raise wool
ind mutton, and then utilize, almost
without lahor, their at present waste or
usciess lands.
The price at which the growing crop
>f cotton will sell will not pay the cost
t?l* production to those who have purchased
their supplies.
Fashion Notes.
A bride's veil now inTist just reach
1 <l*r? uvn'cf.
Length wise stripes are being intro
ldneed into fine hosiery.
Paniers; elongating into hoop skirts
at the back, are worn again
i Fans in black silk, printed in eoljors,
arc most used for constant
j wear.
! Very soff. low coiffures are worn in
j Paris, and nets for the hair are being
j revived.
I flmvii i^wolrv is n(f:iin revived, and
I .. tl - J . ...3 ,
comes in sets and necklaces of beautiful
pale rose color, veined and mottled
wilh'decpor lines.
The ncw|slj*lc of ladies dress should
he called the clothes-pin style, it is so
terribly suggestive of' that indispensa
hie article,
Turkish trousers for women are
coming. Each trouser leg will be Allied
into a band around the ankle, and
finished with a rtillle edged with lace.
Woolen berage is coming into vogue
again. Jt is fashionably worn inI'Yance,
and is a'linircd for its soft
clinging texture.

A letter from JJaiwIonn. contains a drai
malic account <>f ;t donMe execution which
has jii'l taken jiiii-c in thut town. A maid
servant named (iregoria Foix, aided by
her lover, Victori.mo Urrieta, murdered her
master, who had made a will in her favor
The judicial investigation mid trial lasted
no less than thr?j years, and resulted in the
condemnation of both (lie accused,who according1
to the ctis!om,sv?re taken on thaevening
which preceded the execution to a chnpel,
to rem.iin llierc until {he nest moniing'
Thero tlso two convicts w?;re only separated
by a curtain, and t!io woman uttered .such
; loud cries during the night, that her accomplice
had several times to impose silence on J
her. The most distinguished ladio? of the j
locality attended the woman to offer their
1 c-isolations. The man was surrounded by
monks. During all that thne the hoys of
1he choir, clad in ivd, yellow or blue, from
head to foot, went through the streets, a salver
in one hand and a bell in the other,
asking for alma to meet the v.anta of the
condemned prisoners. 'J'he execution by
' (lie garotte (strangling) toon place onisuie
1 one of the gates of the city, in a plain to
1 which the victims were conducted l>y a
long proeessbn of penitent?. The corpses
remained until fix in the evening, for more
than ten hours, exposed to the gaze of the
' crowd, which cine to contemplate eagerly
1 the horrible contortions their facos ha<!
undergone.
