As so evidence of Its Increasing poisilari
ty we note that tho Cincinnati Sent hern
Railroad recently purchased 2,000 barrels.
In the city of Rome, Georgia, It has been
tried In competition with the Portland
and Louisville oemenfc, and is thought to
be superior. It lias been used In Romo for
pavements and buildings and has given
.satisfaction wherever tried, particularly
under water.
It Is very highly recommended as a
pavement and costs Joss than half the
price charged for Portland cement.
The Cincinnati Southern Railroad gives
It the highest endorsement.
Mr. G. H. Waring, the proprietor cf the
above works has an advertisement In this
pdfCr concerning the sale of the thorough

Dear "Heffulun My last brought uS.‘
I think, up to Ogden, Utah, where we re
mained only an hour or so. Long
enough, however, for me to see all I
wished, of the town and people. The,
Mormon men appeared to me ignorant
arid stupid. They believe implicitly what
ever their leaders tell them—neither more
nor less. The women, on an average, are
vy ugfe\ tlßfiMh *1 saw one or two ex
c#>tl*m<r I Meiuppijat a Mormon ho
tel; as I entered the dining hall, and pro
ceeded to place myself In tho first chair I
came to, a lino looking blonde, seated af
one of the tables, said: “This way, sir,’’ 1
and with a graceful wuve of tho hand,
motioned me to another table. From her
tine appearance, lat first thought her to
be one of tho wives of Brigham Young, or
some of hiß Bishops, but when she came
behind my chair, and uttered In low,
thrilling tones, the words, “beafsteak,
mutton-chops, com beaf. tea and coffee," 1
concluded my firß*4*.
oncu* and tit lffl ptm\er lowa as one
of thf
hot rolls and potatoes, would be highly
acceptable “just at these presents,” and
that she was the ioveliest and most
charming woman I had seen in that coun
try—the latter remark bringing me out the
best supper the house afforded—which,
after doing full justice to, I paid my fifty
cents, and “went on my way rejoicing,”—
that it was not a dollar.
Now for a piece of information which,
was new to me. They tell me
tbatk if for any reason a Mormon leave*
his h->m# taatfx months, he takes his
wives over to his neighbor and sells them
to him until his return. That Is, during
his absence his neighbor is to occupy his
place as their husband. If I lived in that
country, and my neighlvor had any good
looking wives, the whole effort of my life
would be devoted to getting him out of
the country on a mission for about twelve
months. That is the game, they say, Old
Brigham and his Elders play on their
neighbors. David, I think, was the vilest

any relief or rest, and there I think I’ll
drop you, having no doubt tired you with
a description of my travels. I shall carry
you over the west half of the road at a
more rapid pace than I did the east half,
though the Central Pacific did the reverse
of this for us.
Left Ogden in tho night, and when the
day dawned we were in sight of the green
waters of Great Salt Lake—running
through a qtiuntry, to picture the desola-
Uun or my power. It was
a (fBSWW)P%art, ailu where salt is the sta
ple production of the soil, you can imag
ine there is not much to be seen. Out ol
the salty sea to the south tall mountains
show their snow-crested heads. From the
salty plains to the north arose the same
egduring monuments of ages past. Leav
ing the Lake we miss only its green wa
ters, which *re the greenest I ever saw.
We advance od as before, through a plain,
with mountains k* the north and south,
and thus enter Nwada 725 miles from San
Francisco. I knew before lever saw the
State of Nevada, that it was a hard one
My idea of It did not exceed tho reality.
Alkaline plains and {rugged mountains
constitute what 1 have seen of the State.
The gloomy appearance of those plains
Is well calculated to slrlKe a chill into the
heart of the stoutest. Not a thing, ani
mate or Inanimate, is to bo seen on them,
but the short sage bush—and on the Great
American Desert, whoso northern limit
we cross, not even that dead-looking plant
is found. Its surface a glittering alkali
and salt. A desolation of all desolations
The whited sepulture of many a man and
beast, that has perished on its treacher
ous surface by that most horrible of all
deaths—death from thirst.
The State of Nevada is very rich in pre
cious minerals; it ought to be as itjmrlch
m nothing else. We break through
the Humbolt* mountalnV* by way ot
tho canon of the Humbolt river, and
continue down the vatlejr ot tbis stream
mountains In the distance on either side
of us for hundreds of miles. This river,
500 miles long, though receiving numer
ous tributaries, ip np tiuui where
wo first struck ; ttuwy wMfrfe '* left it.
Soon after tho road hfevesjt, it (p* lß itselt
in the sands of tho desert; alkali though
out the whole of its course. There is
much soenery of a remarkable character
in Nevada, Many of the mountains are
snow-capped, bald and barren like the
plains; but the desolate and barren ap
pearance of the mountains and plains
leave no pleasant impression on the be
holder. At last the barren country is
passed ; you come in sight of the Sierras
near the line of California. The alkali and
saltisleft behind. JDjp Lpountaius are
coffered with tall plne*-tl*piisop#always
dresSjE in spotless garment of shite.
Neaf the lino you ttttAtn tttffir IfWhmit,
reaching it by the canon of Truskee
river, and are at an elevation of 7017 feet
-r-lower tbad Sherttyn by over 150 feet,
Out tar above your'head tower the peaks, j
I am writing now against time, “Regu
lus," for I leave this city in a short while
and must abb revfato uig dwLriptfon of the
scenery.' s Suffice itftd sa^Tnattile descent
of the Sierras equalled, even excelled, that
of Weber canon. Snow sheds continuous
ly lor 30 miles, cutting out most of the
view. Hut all that I did see was terribly
grand; the track at times hanging out on
the side of the mountain, while two or
tnree thousand feet below Were the rush
ing and foaming waters of American
river. On reaching the foot of the moun
tains, we found ourselves in a lovely
country'—green with trees and grass. A
most welcome sight. Arriving at Sacra
meuto, we were transferred to the ocean
built steamer Julia, and came the balanfc*
of t he distance on Sacramento river, which
was very disagreeable to me. If there is
anything I despise, it is traveling by boat.
It is too slow qnd monotonous. This is a
finely bhrlt City of coarse, but lam not
favorably impressed with it; and was glad
to leave It. There are a vast number of
“poor devils” here who are out of money
and out of work—"strangers in a strange
land.” I would not advise any one to
oomehore without capital or a certain
position; but they arc crowding into it
every day to their sorrow. California
has representatives. pf every race under
the*sun almost, but the Chinese hold the
vantage ground—under-bidding the
others. F<jr th(*i nan of money, good; for
the man of muscle, presaging want.
With the Eastern horde still pouring
down on the Western shores, there is but
one relief in the future for the white race
that presents Itself, and that ls a dark and
terrible war remedy'. It is to start back
into the Pacific a counter current of Mon
golian blood, which I think in time will be
depot Ifof when men are starving, they
do not consider any rights but the rights
of the stomach. Starvation Is bound to
ensue u a leas some stop la put to this
•toady emigration both from the East and
West.
I gave a lady a good idea of our moratl- 1
ty aud purity, on the way over. I was
standing by tier seat when she asked me
what Htate I was from, and the follow
ing conversation ensued, after my stating !
that I was from Georgia. "That Is whore
they are lighting or just going to tight,
ain't it ?” “No, tnadame, they are as quiet
and peaceful as lambs; never have any
dleturbance there.” “How are the people?’’
Very moral. No place can show a more
Strictly Christian spirit. The young men
especially aro noted for their many vlr
turos. The strongest beverage drank by
them is chalk water.” “Chalk water ?
that is a very curious taste they have. I
am truly glad to hear such a favorable
report of the oountry. I shall always
think better of the people for it, and be
more slow to believe any evil of them.’
Her attention, at this time, being called to
the other end of the car, she left me alone
with her daughter—the little songstress I
spoke of In a previous l*-tter—an opportu
nity I Improved on. I did’nt think It was
necessary to Inform the lady that the
ehalk water alluded to, and indulged In ao
largely by the boys, was that chalked
down againet them fry the bar-tender. You
should always know when to stop giving
Information.
Now. to dose on a good subject,namely
the ladies, I have sees but vary few good
looking ones in Han Francisco. They all
have large feet—at least all I have seen.
Milwaukee must yield the palm to Han
Francisco, in this respect, and comedown
from her proud pre-eminence.

GRAM) JURY PRESENTMENTS
OF 4.EE COrXTT, Al. A HAMA.
To the Honorable James K. Cobb, Judge
of the Ninth Judicial Circuit:
Tho Grand Jurors having finished their
labors for the present term of the Court
ask to make the following general report;
We have carefully examined tho official
bonds of the various county officers, and
find them all In legal form and sufficient.
We have also examined the books of the
Probate Judge, Clerk of tho Court, Sheriff,
Superintendents of Education, Tax Col
lector and County Treasurer, and And
them carefully aud neatly kept, and their
accounts in satisfactory condition.
The receipts and disbursements of the
County Treasurer since the sitting of the
last Grand Jury are as follows;
Receipts from all sources $13,962 03
Disbursements 11,906 88
Balance on hand 2,075 15
The outstanding registered claims
against the oounty amount to $3,875 *2.
Wo find the paupers of the county pro
perly cared for, and all who are being sup
ported by the county are worthy. The
amount paid quarterly to these poor Is
about $247 00.
We find the roadß and bridges in the
county generally In good condition,we do,
however, call especial attention of the pro
per authorities, to a portion of the road
In the northern part of the county, known
as the McCurdy lane, which is in a bad
condition—wholly impassable, also to a
street in the city of Opelika, near
the Western Depot, which is now and has
been for four months. In an impassible
condition. The road from White’s bridge
to Farmville, two miles, is also in a bad
condition—as is, -also, White’s bridge in
beat 3.
Th jail of Hie county, we find, is tery
neatly kept, and the prisoners comforta
bly provided for..
We would respectfully recommend toe
Court of County Commissioners to allow
the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and to the
Sheriff as is contemplated by an act of the
Legislature, providing for payment of
said officers for extra services.
We hwt>ly approve ortho rqsolutlous
of his Honor Judge Cobb, to clear tho
docket and dispatch the business of tha
Court; but we respectfully submit that it
is our opinion, that a prolonged session
of the Court at the fall term would be less
detrimental to the Interests of the citizens
of the county, than at this time, this be
ing tho busiest season of the year with
the farmers. We suggest a special time
in July or August.
We cannot close our report without ac
knowledging the courtesies extended to
us by our Solicitor J. R. Dowdell, Esq.,
whom wo deem worthy of all praise for
the zeal and efficiency displayed In the
discharge of his official duties—and also
the promptness and efficiency with which
our Sheriff has discharged his duties In
connection with the business of this body.
Wo extend to his Honor. Judge Cobb,
our thanks for his charge to us, to the
clearness of which as to our duties aud
responsibilities as Grand Jurors, we are
much Indebted for the facility with which
we have been scudded to dispatch the bus
iness which has come before us. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
