The papers by the last steamer told us of the
discovery of a lake the waters of which were
so largely possessed of the principle of buoy
ancy that the human body would not sink in
it. Still more extraordinary is the discovery
of a subterrrancan pass through the mountains
of the Sierra Nevada. This pass is described
as beginning near the head of the ZOLemity
Valley, and containing many internal eviden-
ces that it was once great Indian rendezvous.
Pits were discovered in it, too, in which were
the CHASTITY remains of many victim of saw
age cruelty. The adventures who explored
the passage tell us they met two live Indians
