Lfiob Uw (WjwflM T»«ti«ry) i°-
Yaaterday, to company with Mr. OhM.
Paatas N. K. Boaw.ll, and 11. 0. Drown,
' raisitad tho *od» lakaa that Ha borween
—alia sod Sheep Mountain, aud not-
rtthataoding the teporU that were io'cir-
alation oonoerniug the extent of the de
alt, ita immensity wae surprising to the
■l»st U d ve editor. Tbs area of cne
_ke was ever sixty sores. The material
sbioh govern It resembles iee in appear-
ao# mb4 aoliditjr.
There having been a fall of tain the
hnlaht previous, an inoh or more of water
> Uv upon the tnorosted lake, and this was
’ so highly impregnated with soda as to be
damaging to leather, and making a white
•pot wherevar a drop of it touched tile
entiling. Holes have been dug four feet
into this sods without reaching bottom,
and it would certainly be safe to estimate
Me avenge depth at three feet. As it ex
tends over an area of 100 acres, the
amount of anlphate soda may be easily
computed. But, as this is derived from
a constantly flowing spring, it is fair to
presume that the quantity ia simply inex-
MMtibli.
Mr. Ponies thought that a furnace
could be erected on the premises at J
moderate expenditure, which would con
vert the oruds sulphate of soda into a
merchantable carbonate at $ 10 per ton,
and thie could be delivered in Chioago at
•IS, which would leave a handsome mar
gin of f20 on each ton for a staple agliele
of oommeroe, the demand for which is so
great that ita value would not be affected
by this discovery.
About all our soda comes from Eng
land, where it ia manufactured from salt,
being flrot converted into a anlphate of
soda by the nae of anlphurio sold. After
all the processes are completed, it is then
ship pad to America, where a dnty baa to
be paid and a profit to the importer, and
it is sold in New York at $46 per Ion.
Mr. Pontes hat received numerous let
ters oonoerniug the soda lakes of Wyo
ming, and on hie return to Omaha he will
first make an exaot analysis of the soda,
and then publish an aooount of the same
ia some scientific Journal for publio in
formation.
These lakes were aooidentally discover
ed by John Le Fevre three years ago,
when out with a' party of surveyors; but
It Wat more than a year before he ascer
tained their value, when he erased a sur
vey to be made, and erected a cabin on
the rise of ground that ia nearly surround
ed by tbs aeries of lakes.
Civil Bights In the Barber Shops.
H. V. B.’s Chattanooga Letter to the Cincin
nati Commercial.]
That waa a good reply which a colored
barber in this city gave to a delegation of
oolored men who called npon him for tho
purpose of claiming the right to be shaved
“the same as a white mau.” “Sir," sa d
the spokesman of the delegation, “we
demand the right to be shaved here.''
“It can't be done,” answered the oolor-
ad barber.
Tbeu the spokesman cam# down with as
pertinent thrust, saying, “Ain't oar mon
ey ns good as anybody's ?” “Yes, Jnst as
good, but there is not enough of it.”
That covored the ease exaetly. it was
an answer worthy of a philosopher. The
datkey's money ii as good as anybody’s to
him, bnt there ia not enough of it to
compensate hita for tbe loss of bis white
enatom.
The barber, in telling me this cirouiu-
stauoe, said: “lam a oolored man and
bave to work for a living, and the miqute
I eommenoed shaving darkies, that min-
uto every one of my white eustomeis
would leave me. The biggest Badieal in
town would quit me just like tbe Demo
crats. It’a eoutrary lo tbe nature of a
white man to want to mix that way with
the negroes; and, what's more, they won t
do it. Yon oan’t get a white man in this
town to shave in a shop where negroes
are shaved; I wouldn't either, if I waa
thorn; and I'm not going to break up my
badness to aocommodate a few sweli-heud
niggers, who want to pnt on all the atyle
of white men."
Self, when colored men will, not admit
their oolored brethren to the enjoyment
of equal rights in the barber-shops, how
arc we to expect white then to do it ?
A 3K.astr.ua Bhlnoceros.
On Wednesday the largest bleak rhino-
eoros over exhibited in the world was
. added to tbe oolleotiou of wild beasts in
Boruum'a Hippodrome. This enormous
mountain of flesh weighs !),600 pounds.
Thia is 2,200 pounds more than the lsrg
eat rhinoceros in tbe Zoologioal Osrdens
in London. His body is encased in a
heavy leathar-like bide, wbioh overlaps at
tbe joints, oinking folds nearly two inches
thick. His legs are abort and stumpy,
and bis tail resembles the blaok-anases
used by teamsters in the Western country.
Hie bead is oovered with tbe asms thick
hide whiob envelopes his body, and npon
his forehead and about bis eyes and earB
it ia piled up like plates. The animal bsd
a large, Bharp born, which projected from
bis snout jnst above bis nostrils, bat the
monster's head waa obaioed down, and,
in spite of bis angry snorts and endea.
von to get away, tbla horn was sawed off
olose to his snoot. A oage upon wheels
was made on purpose for tbe rhinoceros'
aooommodation. It ia boavily barred with
steel npon tbe aides and front. His bead
ia ohained to a stout beam, and heavy oak
plank preventa his baoking. There is
barely room fur tbe rhinoceros .to stacd
and lie in. If he was given more space
hit immense strength would enable him
to break from all restraint, and the havoc
be would make if loose may be imagined
but cannot be estimated. His immem-e
weight may be realized from tbe fact that
whoa the cage containing him was drawn
into the Hippodrome the wheels crushed
through the concrete flooring in many
fhln to the depth of from two to three
inches tf. T. Tima.

EVERT ONE WHO WISHES TO SEE
SOUTH SUCCEED
THE
COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN
Is the only thoroughly independent paper South. It believes
we are to win; not by complaining about tbe past, but
working for the future. While it gives proper space and
notice to all political matters of State and National impor
tance, it aims to call the attention of emigrants and capital
ists to our great resources and to build up the South on a
basis that has for its foundation industry and economy.
While disclaiming to be tho organ of any creed, party or
society, all its tendencies will be in favor of TEMPER
ANCE, MORALITY and RELIGION. Being deeply
interested in the success of the farmers, and having implicit
faith in the grand destiny of the GRANGES, the EN
QUIRER-SUN will devote a large apace, under a capable
editor, to AGRICULTURE, and in chronicling the move
ments of the Patrons of Husbandry.
