THE CITY HALL,
Built at a cost of $70,000, stands on the south-east corner of First East and First South streets, about 16) feet obliquely from the theatre. It is 60 feet square, two stories high, constructed of red sandstone, and is surmounted with a clock tower. It contains offices for all the city functionaries, from Mayor to Watermaster, including a room for Al- derman's or Justice's courts as well as a Council chamber for the City Fathers to deliberate therein. The Territorial Legislature meets here to enact laws and discuss bills bienially. The City Prison stands at the rear of this hall and is also built of red sindstone, constructed so that criminals may not cut through the cement. It is strongly made, costing about $40,000.
THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE
Is situated on the north-east corner of the intersection of Second West and Second South streets. It is a large square building of two stories, with a deep basement consisting of several rooms used as cells for county prisoners. The foundation and basement are of rock, the walls of adobe, plastered. The county officials, namely, the Probate Judge, Clerk, Sheriff, Recorder and Assessor and Collector, have offices on the floor of the first story. A large, well-lighted, furnished and com- modious court-room, with jurors' rooms, cover the second story. It is kept in good order and repair, clean and airy. It cost about $20,000.
THE CHURCHES.
As we have said, the Latter-Day Saints meet on Sunday mornings and afternoons in the Tabernacle during summer, and in the Assembly Hall during the latter part of spring, fall and winter. In every Bish- op's ward in the city they also hold meetings every Sunday night, either in the school-house of the ward or in a chapel or hall dedicated for that purpose. John Taylor and his counselors preside over the whole church, but at the Tabernacle or Assembly Hall the Presidency of the Salt Lake County Stake preside. In each ward meeting, the bishop and his two counselors preside. Over this stake of Zion, Elders Angus Cannon is President and D. O. Calder and Joseph E. Taylor his counselors.
THE EPISCOPALIANS
Have a neat cathedral, named St. Mark's, built of red sandstone, solid and substantial, with little or no orramental work on the interior. It is comfortably furnished with pews, and the chancel is neat and pre- sents an imposing ecclesiastical appearance. Bishop D. S. Tuttle is Rector and the Rev. N. F. Putnam and the Rev. G. D. B. Miller are as- sistants. During the year an addition was built to the Cathedral on the east side, in which is a magnificent organ and room for the choir. It is quite attractive and an improvement to the interior.

Public meetings, political and social, are held in it. It was built by the out-comers from Mormonism, and supplies a want felt in all cities where a free and lib- eral element exists. It is well lighted and plainly furnished, and com- fortable at all seasons.
EDUCATIONAL.
Not only is there a public schoolhouse in every Bishop's ward in the city, organized and sustained to impart a rudimental education, but there are several excellent institutions and edifices devoted to the teaching of the higher branches of learning. These institutions are presided over by scholarly gentlemen, of high attainments and exten- sive erudition ; their marked ability, for the noble and generous work, place them in the front ranks as educators, all graduates of noted uni- versities.
THE DESERET UNIVERSITY.
This institution has no permanent buildingat present, but one is in course oferection which will be suitable and commodious. We are sorry to learn that by some unfortunate misunderstanding with His Excellency, the Governor of the Territory, the progress of the building was arrested by his refusing to sign, at the last session of the Territor- ial Legislature, an economical appropriation for its completion. It is to be hoped that no such calamity may befall it next session, which will meet in January, 1881. At present the students con vene in a large building near Union Square. It has an average attendance of 200, is well supplied with mathematical, philosophical and chemical appar- atus, has a valuable cabinet of minerals and curiosities, and has a library of standard and miscellaneous works, consisting of 2,600 vol- umes. Professor J. W. Park, M. D., is principal, assisted by Prof. Tor- onto and Prof. Kingsbury. It is partially supported by fees, but the Legislature appropriates $5,000 annually towards its support, provld-

It has 110 young lady pupils, boarders, and 150 day pupils, from this and adjacent ter- ritories. On the same grounds and nearly adjoining, is St. Joseph, conducted under the same thoughtful direction of the Sisters, and is characterized with good discipline and moral and intellectual train- ing. The Revs. Father Scanlan and Keiley being constant visitors, the progress of the pupils in manners, morals and ability is marked. THE SALT LAKE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. This school is conducted and supported by the Presbyterian Church. It was organized eight years ago, and has at present about 200 pupils. Though under the charge of this Christian body, it is unsectarian, yet moral training is not overlooked, being distinguished for its moral and intellectual progress and worth. Prof. J. M. Coyner, Ph. D., an earnest and devoted educator, is Superintendent, assisted by talented and learned teachers, graduates of the best colleges in the United States. This body of Christians have opened free schools in other parts of the city, where all who apply will receive the benefit of a free tuition. They are in charge of educated and experienced teachers.

ished, called Hammond Hall, in the Ninth Ward, will be opened in a few weeks for its use. It will be classified in the several grades of study and will possess every advantage which mark similar Institu- tions in the Eastern States. Prof. E. Benner is Superintendent, and is assisted by professors and tutors of high standing, superior ability and great professional experience, which make them successful and respected. Other schools, in connection with this movement, are or- ganized in several wards of the city, where all applicants may receive instructions free, under teachers of peculiar efficiency.
THE SALT LAKE SEMINARY
Is organized under the care of the Methodist Episcopal Church, situat- ed on Third South, between East Temple and First East streets, north side. It convenes in the ground story of the church edifice. The sem- inary is in a prosperous condition, and the oversight of the acting prin- cipal, Prof. T. W. Lincoln, assisted by able and experienced teachers. It is purposed to have a college grow out of this seminary. The Wo- man's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church patronizes this institution, and it is expected that this year there will be erected a large building on the grounds for the boarding of pupils. The sum of $5,000 has been raised already in the East for that purpose, by the society, and nothing shall detract from its being as excellent an institution as means and ability can accomplish.
:
THE HEBREWS

Private schools are common in the wards, and are well patronized' The ladies and gentlemen devoted to this work are persons of distinc- tion and are much encouraged in the good enterprises.
'T'he citizens of Salt Lake City are universally interested in the ed ucation of their children, and year after year greater facilities are of- fered for the acquisition of the broadest, highest and complete culture that these institutions can afford. Most of the teachers are graduates from the best colleges, and not a few from the : ormal department of Deseret University.

THE WALKER OPERA HOUSE.
This beautiful structure is situated a few yards west of the Walker Bros' Bank, and was erected in 1882 by that firm. It has a fine, impos- ing front, and an attractive appearance. Two stories and a lofty base- ment appear in front. One store on each side of the large and com- modious doorway, and the stories above are occupied by Knights of Pythias and other benevolent societies. The Opera House is a mag- nificent building, 165 feet long, 67 feet wide, and 60 feet from floor to ceiling. The interior is highly ornamented and gorgeously decorated, having a pleasing effect on all who enter. It has a large stage, supplied with fine scenery and the necessary machinery, traps and properties, making it effective for all demands. The drop scene is a beautiful work of art, and the fancy sketch above the scene on the permanent wall is very pleasing.

It has also a spacious orchestra, and every appointment necessary for a desirable theatre. It is pretty, commodious and very popular, not being sur- passed by any house west of the Rocky Mountains.

streets of the north bench, to descend again to South Temple street at a point near the eastern limits of the city. Continue thence due east, ascending to the eastern bench, and a short drive of a little more than a mile brings you to FORT DOUGLAS. 194 Suburban Attractions. This delightful fort is the principal military post in Utah. During the last few years it has been entirely rebuilt, and the old log barracks and weather-board quarters have been replaced by stout and comfort- able buildings of a pink sandstone that forms the bluffs overlooking the camp. The officers' residences have been arranged in a handsome crescent at the head of the level parade ground, and afford a splendid view of the neighboring city and the whole broad and magnificent valley. The post is under the command of Col. Alexander M. McCook, an officer of the Sixth Infantry, a large portion of his regiment being statiored here. Driving through the fort and past the military ceme- tery, the traveller will enjoy the pleasant hill and dale country beyond; especially as he will speedily be brought up short at - - WAGNER'S BREWERY. This fine property possesses interest aside from the sparkling bev- erage which we will admit to be its chief attraction. It is one of the largest breweries in the west, is orderly and clean and produces beer of excellent quality. Being about 4 miles from the city, it offers a good turning point in a pleasant drive. The road home can be varied ad infi- nitum, and can be made to take in FULLER'S HILL. Take either the 11th Ward or Ist Ward cars, starting from the "Em- porium" corner every half hour. Ask the driver to put you off at Ful- ler's Hill. Here can be found all kinds of out-door games, swings, cro- quets, etc., including a camera obscura. The prettiest view of Salt Lake City can be had from Fuller's Hill, and the gardens are well worth visiting. They can be reached by an easy carriage drive. Another drive is to take the State road for two and one-half miles southward, turn the next corner for the east, next corner for the south driving as far as Winder's farm; then turn again to the east and the traveller will soon reach CALDER'S FARM. This pleasant resort is between four and five miles from the city. It is cool, verdant and delightful. There is a large lake with boats' swings, groves, etc. Admission 25 cents. The traveller can vary his return home by coming through the fields, avoiding the State road and leaving it to the west. Still another drive is to go due north from the Walker House over the hill to the Warm Sulphur Baths. On the way, a charming view of the city and surrounding country is obtained from a commanding PEIRCE'S BOOK STORE - LARGEST BOOK STORE in the Rocky Mountains. Buy your GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS at GEO.

point of view. The drive may be continued over a moderately inter- esting road, along the base of the, Wasatch mountains, past the Hot Spring lake to the Hot Springs themselves, which, although more pic- turesque, differ in no wise from those at the Baths except by their in- creased heat. They are 31/2 miles from the city.
WHERE TO WALK OR RIDE.
It is, of course, very evident that a horseman or a pedestrian, if he be a good walker, can go to any of the places above mentioned. There are, however, other interesting routes accessible to him that the driver cannot well reach.
After going a block north of the Temple, on Main street, strike for the hill on the right and pursue the wagon road that winds along the edge of City Creek canyon, to the top of
ENSIGN PEAK.
This is a rounded knoll, easily accessible, whose summit is 1,200 feet above the city. From this elevated position, a most magnificent range is visible. On a clear day, Mount Nebo, the highest peak of the Wa- satch, 90 miles due south, can be seen. The view extends to almost an equal distance to the north. Westward, it takes in nearly all of the Great Salt Lake, 'with its islands, and affords a glimpse of the Great American desert. The summit of Ensign peak is not more than two miles north of the city, and it is of peculiar historical interest. It is said that years before the pioneers first saw this valley, it had been seen in a vision by the Prophet, Joseph Smith, who saw the "Standard of Zion" unfurled on this same Ensign peak. Hence its name.
A more difficult and extended mountain climb is to the summit of BLACK MOUNTAIN,
Whose top can be seen, covered with pines, north east of the city. It appears rather a hazardous attempt on horseback, but the writer and many others have climbed these steeps in that manner more than once and have been amply repaid by the extraordinary magnificence of the view. To attempt it, gain the ridge of City Creek canyon on the hills above the 20th Ward bench and from thence take a natural and easy trail almost to the summit. A little climb, and as the top is neared, a lovely view of enormous range bursts on the adventurer's as- tonished gaze. We shall not attempt to describe it. It takes in scores of miles in every direction and gives at once a comprehensive panor_ ama of the region. The summit is about 3,500 feet above and 5 miles north-east of the city.
