Mount SHAsTA.--A correspondent of
the Times and Transcript, writing from
the klamath region, and givinga descrip-
,ion of Shasta river, its va ley and Scehe-
ry, thus speaks of this ponderons noun
tain: ..l. t...# -us.
Mount Shasta stands at the head of this
valley. and is fourteen thousand feet
above the level Of the seattle highest
mountain in Alta California. The base
of it is nearly round, aud ascends in a
conical form to its summit, which is cap
ned with eternal snow. This mountain
can he seen over two hundred miles,
booming up far above the clouds, which
hang down around it.
IL stands alone in its king'y beauty, a
proud sentinel, as it were, guarding the
surrounding mountains, the valleys stretch
ing between in all their beauty and bright
ness. No verdure decks the granite
crags Of Mount Shasta; all seemed to
have been blasted by the turmoil of
natures subtcrranean conyulslon. AS one
descends from the summit to the altitude
of the surrounding mountains, he finds II
rocky and preci pitous, which renders the
ascent more or less dangerous. The
rocks which are scattered over the sides
of the mountains appear freed from ma
ture's laws, aud refuse to yield, like COM
mon earth, the refreshing beauties of
vegetation. This elevated and imposing
summit scutns the soft beauties of foliage
and of flowers. The mountain is com
posed Of grey granite, darkened by the
storms Of ages into deep brown. From
the perpetual SHOWS, the mountain slopes
away down gently, and terminates in
this long quiet val ey, the lower portion
of which is covered with tdll pine trees.
No Human being has ever ascended to
,the summit Of Mount Shasta.

Before her troops could cross the Balkan, aud fight their

would have possession Of the Dardanelles, and might re.

Park, in Union square, and In one or two other
places in the city; but we must be forgiven if
we mention the fact as o mere rumor requiring
confirmation. We have ourselves seen in a
public place a melancholy little thread of wa
ter trickling upwards out ofs small hole in the
centre of a stone basin; but we have never been
able to decide whether the phenomenon pro-
ceeded from a defect in the paving over a
natural spring, or whether it was q miniature
model of a fountain exhibited by some
ingenious person. New York wants real
fountains that will throw a large jet of water
twenty feet high, and impregnate the air with
moisture for an acre round about-such foun-
tains, in a word, as the Bostonians, whom we
are SO fond of decrying, have placed in their
common. Twenty or twenty-five such fountains
could be erected at a very small expense, and
there would be plenty of water to feed them if
the Croton aqueduct at High Bridge were en-
larged. Sites could easily be found. Once
erected, their value would soon be recognized.
The very sight of a volume Of water gushing
from the earth and breaking into cool. sparkling
spray, at a height of twenty or twenty-five feet,
would be q delicious sensation in these dog
days.
We commend the subject to those whom it
concerns. Eager as the citizens Of New York
have hitherto been in the pursuit of wealth, it
is only lately that comfort has come to be a
matter of consideration. It's Importance is now,
however, becoming acknowledged. The first
fruits Of the change are the general ~outcries for
q park. We feel assured that the legislative
session at Albany will not close before measures
are taken for the purchase Of the Central Park.
If, in conjunction with this boon, steps be taken
Tor the immediate enlargement Of the Croton
aqueduct. where it crosses the river. and a sum
of money appropriated for the construction OF
several large fountains, the fainting creatures
who are now abandoning their business from
sheer exhaustion would not repudiate the debt
Of gratitude such a blessing would impose on
them.
