This Entertainment will open with music. The soldiers' Chorus from "Faust." "> First time in this city.

Next comes a jocund and discursive preamble, calculated to show what a good education the Lecturer has

View the first is a sea-view.--Ariel navigation.--Normal school of whales in the distance.--Isthmus of Panama.--Interesting interview with Old Panama himself, who makes all the hats.--Old Pan is a likely sort of man.

San Francisco.--City with a vigilant government.--Miners allowed to vote. Old inhabitants so rich that they have legs with golden calves to them.

Town in the Silver region.--Good quarters to be found there.--Playful population, fond of high-low-jack and homicide.--Silver lying around loose.--Thefts of it termed silver-guilt.

The plains in Winter.--A wild Moor, like Oth.e.l.lo.--Mountains in the distance forty thousand miles above the level of the highest sea (Musiani's chest C included).--If you don't believe this you can go there and measure them for yourself.

Mormondom, sometimes called the City of the Plain, but wrongly; the women are quite pretty.--View of Old Poly Gamy's house, &c.

The Salt Lake Hotel.--Stage just come in from its overland route and retreat from the Indians.--Temperance house.--No bar nearer than Salt Lake sand-bars.--Miners in s.h.i.+rts like Artemus Ward his Programme--they are read and will wash.

Mormon Theatre, where Artemus Ward lectured.--Mormons like theatricals, and had rather go to the Playhouse than to the Workhouse, any time.

Private boxes reserved for the ears of Brother Brigham's wives.

Intermission of Five Minutes.

Territorial State-House.--Seat of the Legislature.--About as fair a collection as that at Albany--and "we can't say no fairer than that."

Residence of Brigham Young and his wives.--Two hundred souls with but a single thought, Two hundred hearts that beat as one.
