( Spoclal Corroipondonco to TUB HBP. . ] Englishmen , as yvoll as Americana , who have msdo the trip around the world "tho grand tour" ponorally concede that the Mormon capital Is the loveliest city on earth. It has boon described tlmo and again by writers whoso very prose Is poetry , but there Is always a rising generation who Ilka to hoar of the features which tnako it distinct In character when compared with other municipalities ! In tbo nation. To begin with , It Is located In n valley of wondrous beauty and fertility , nt the western - orn basoof the Wasatch range of mountains ana eighteen miles from the shores of Oro.it Salt Lake. Its elevation Is 4,8T > 0 foot above sea lovcl. Ensign peak stands sentinel over "Zlon" on the north ; nn the east rlsos Iho precipitous slope of the Wasatch , whoso Htiintnltin midsummer , with Its gloaming wlilto panoply formed by the eternal snows , aqoms literally to ovorhaiiK the city ; to the southward strotchot the Ion : ; vultoy with its rich farms ana smelters ; to the west loom up the bold and rugged sides of the Oqulrrh. rantfo , yielding half of this boundary to the lake Itself. The limits of the city proper ore , speaking In round numbord , about six miles squaro. The "squares" originally laid out by Urlgham Young on a plan revealed to him directly from the Lord , ombracn ton aaros ouch , nnd no mention was made In the dlvlno message of any alloys , hut the center of ouch block was utilized as a court , or walk , ihat was planted with trees nnd was fron to nil the residents on that block. Shndo treis were sot out along every street and on olthor side of every thoroughfare a ditch was out through which , from spring until winter , flowed a stream of sparkling xvnlor from the mountains , coming1 down through "Ulty Crook" ciuioii. The surplus water , at ono tluio of considerable volume , was , and still is , conducted to the lake by means of a canal , very wide and deep , the bottom and sides lined with granlto bonldorc. This uanul is eighteen in lies in length and us straight us an nnow. After n , spring freshet ono may xtand at its head and watch the tossing crys tal waves until they nnltn with the waters of the lake when the sun is shining u stream of molten silver that ends in a silver thread. At this .season , too , ono.may stand at a slight olav.ition on the basaof Ensign peak nnd the whole city is Drought within his ranco of vision , Then it looks like n vast park , the dense foliage almost concealing the buildings tn a mantloof brigut emerald. Thu Almighty was , perhaps , never ashamed at bolng cred ited as the daslgner of this homo of the Lat ter Day Saints. A Walloil City. In the early days , vvhon King Brlgham's power was as absolute in that of the em- pororof Morocco , ho caused the city to bo nurrounctod by a massive adobe wall , twenty fcuthleh and correspondingly thick , sections of which may still bo scon standing on the uillsido northeast of town , and reminding ono of tha great wall of China. The squares on which were erected those structures do- nlgnod exclusively for church purposes , acd which are three m number , were similarly enclosed , and those walls have cover bcon disturbed , nor over should ho. Tno most remarkable street laid out under Inspiration Is State street , a broad drlvoway which , touching the base of Ensign Peak , runs "as the crow Hies" clear down the valley loy to the mountains that form Its southern boundary thirty miles away. At the head of this magnlllcont avotuto , barring the entrance to that portion passing between two of the church blocks , Is ono of the land marks of Jilon , nn archway known as "Eaclo Gate , " familiar to and admired by everyone wlio has over visited the city The old wooden pillars rotted and were recently torn down , but In their place have boon erected four niassivo columns of granite , abova which tbo qiliuloin of American freedom will hereafter fltand with outstretched wmtrs , as if prcpnr- ing ! for flight from a place where American liberty was so long an unknown factor. Meuutlmo the old bird , sadly demoralized by remaining in his uncomfortable position so long , has noon sent cast to oo gilded and \i 111 scarcely recognize himself when ho again gets on bis perch. Temple Itlnek. All Iho structures on the block rolorrod to nbova uro curious , old fushionod affairs , with the exception of Iho temple and assem bler hall , and ihoy nro of a modern style of architecture. The throe enclosures front on n street running duo cast and west and tbo buildings all face the south. In the llrst en closure uro the tabornnclo , temple and assem bly hull. The first named , called by the tin- Bodly "tho turtle back , " Is 2ii ! : foot long , 183 foot wide and 70 foot high , nnd possesses the enormous seating capacity of 12,000. its acoustic powers are the marvel of the world and its organ has but ono rival In America. On the occasion of the semi-annual confer ences It Is crowded to its utmost capacity and when the audience Is dismissed a veritable. urmy marches forth from Us doors. The temple Is the most glorious work of the builders who have followed the designs of President Young , and It Is doubtful If tboro is a moro Imposing muss of gr.inlto In the world. The corner stone was laid April 1'j ; 1853. and at least two years moro will bo required for its completion. For nearly forty years the toilers have hewn and cut and squared the great blocks of stone , nnd with Infinite paticnco and labor put thorn together. For thirty years tbo massive walls presented a homely , un sightly appearance , their only apparent merit being thmr marvelous thickness and strength. They will cnduru us long as the pyramids of Egypt. Hut the tnlo of "Tho Uglv Duck ling1 wrilcli developed Into the graceful and stately swan , Is Illustrated In this tomplo. The towers , which rise at ino north and couth end of the building , have been com pleted ana otbcrornamontatlon added , ana .10 fur as exterior nppoarunco is concerned it Is practically llnishod.

It might bava had that if Uric- liaui had turned the attention of lilt subjects mnro to mining than to 'incroaa- ing , multiplying and replenishing tlio earth. " This temple Is not , as many suppose , a house of worship for the saints , but will bo devoted - voted to the celebration of the rites 01 the priesthood , which it Is surowdly suspected were itolon from a certain branch of the Ma- , eonlo order that has Its headquarters In Scot land. ( t is 00x100 foot in alzo , with walls 100 foot high. Tbo middle toxvors on cither end are ' . ' 00 feet high.

The second enclosure devoted to church oaltlces lit occupied by a row of adobe build ings remarkable ohtelly as relics of the palm ier days of the "Kingdom of Drighnm , " when the "State of Desert" was "Imporlum In Imporio , " and Undo Sam's authority was nil.

Ton per cent of tbo aiui'i wages , his farm produce , every fruit of bit industry and toll , Is the tithe exacted from rich and poor alike. ' Then comet the Uee Hive and Lion house , Ilrigham Young's residences , connected by a closed passageway between the uppnr stor ies. The Mormon chief really resided In tbo J3eo Hlvo'ond hit wlvos In the Lion bouse , Throutrh this passage way ho went at plghl to summon that spouse upon whom bo doslrod for the tlmo being to bestow bis favors. The structures are surmounted reapeotlvaly by a full sized boo hive and a Hod in repose. From this enclosure to the third the street Is barred by Eaelo gate , the last block containing Drigharh' * private chnpol and his tomb. The latter Is enclosed by nn Iron railing and covered by a massive slab of granite which , with other devices , was designed to prevent gwvo robbers from carrying off the sacrort remains of the prophoi. Ono or two of the chieftain's wires sloop bosldo him and space Is loft for tbo balance. rim rnliieoof the I'Hinrltr. 'Iho moststrlklng'ot nil the Mormon build ings , and the most modern In appearance is Amelia palace , otherwise known us the Onrdo house , which occupies a beautiful corner exactly opposite the Uoo Hive. Uu- Ilko the latter , Its beauty Is not concealed by tnud walls , Out two sides of the spacious lawn nro enclosed by a neat Iron fonco. This Is probably the ilncst residence in the west a veritable palace unique In its architec ture , but stately In Its proportions and very pleasing to the artistic oyo. It was built by the pronhot for his favorite wife , Amelia Folsom Younir , but after his death she pre ferred to dwell In n less pretentious homo and now occupies a smaller but still commo dious and comfortable residence near the Union Pacific depot. Alter sbo re moved It was utilized for n tlmo by the chuch rllgnltarles as an ofllco , but when this with other church property was oscillated by the covormont the saints surrendered it forovor.

A Mnr\cloui Triinsroriiiiitloii. I have already referred totho fact that modern civilization and innovations are crowding closely on the relics and romlnls- cnnces of the palmy davs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sumts , and that Iho prlcstbocd Is being shorn of both nrcstlgo and power. Zton has been fnvttaca by fresh legions of the enemies of tha faithful ; the Idols bavo been broken In the temple of Duel ; Iho ( Jontlles have bcon defeating the Chllil i on of Israel of late hone , foot and dragoons. Within the past tow years Iho city has undergone a completetransforma tion. Jnl8b ltwas still nn overgrown vil lage ; in ISIU it Is a magnincoiit metropolis. Its hotels will via In sl/o , beaut } ' , luxurious appointments and every other respect with thoseof Chicago or St. Louis. Denver has nothing to comp.iro with the Knutsfora ; neither has Omnhu , so nn Omaha architect says , ana I know Kansas City has not. In the way of business blocks , Iho snmo thing may almost be said ; and these grand blocks nro not "Ilko nugela' visits , " but they nro to bo mot with on every sido. I never saw but ono town that grow as Salt Lake has dotin , and that was Omaha 1S84 tolSSS. The pretty village from which President Young governed the arid state of Desarat with an Iron hand has disappeared and In its stead has come a magnlllcont metropolis , from which' there goes forth the Intluonco , the capital and the motive power tnat nro de veloping the marvelous resources of a terri tory" whoso resources nro boundless. The single line of street railway , on which curs were run by mule power and formerly seemed to moot all the exigencies of the times , has been relegated to oblivion nnd now the city Is traversed In every direction by electric rail way lines , splendidly equipped nnd carrying passengers for three and four miles out Into the suburbs. In the mutter of steam railroad facilities , tbo ohaniro is equally marked. The Union Paclllu now runs its solid passenger trains through the gates of Zion. The Uio Uranao Western does the same. The Utan Central is the mam artery of local commerce in the territory and lifty good towns rocog- nlzo Salt Lake City as their metropolis and pay her tribute. .Some SttitiDtlcH.
