. MY C0QD8. k^OT?»PBi; WEDNESDAY JtJKp 24 1874. Tka VfMIlH M» 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.

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. 1840. 1874.
