a Russian Bath.

Stephens, in his travels, gives the follow
inc description of the operations of Rus
sian bath, which he underwent:
mounted a drosky and hurried to bath.
Riding out to the suburbs, the drosky boy
stopped at a large wooden building, pouring
forth steam from every chink and creyice.
At the entrance stood several half-naked men,
one of whom led me to an apartment to un-
dress, and then conducted me to another in
one end of which was furnace and appar-
atus for generating steam. | was then IA
milar with the Turkish bath but the worst
had known was like the breath of the gen
tie south wind, compared with the heat Of
this apartment The operator stood me in
the middle of the floor, opened the upper
door Of the stove, and dashed into it bucket
full of water, which sent forth volumes of
steam, like thick fog, into every part of
this room, and then laid me down on plat
form about three feet high, and rubbed my
body with a mop, dipped in soap and hot
water; then he raised me up, and deluged
me with hot water, pouring several tubfuls
on my head; then laid me down again. and
scrubbed me with soap and water, from my
head to my heels long enough, if the thing
were possible to make blackamoor white;
then gave another sousing with hot water,
and another scrubbing with pure water and
then conducted me up flight of steps to
high platform, stretched me out on bench
within few feet Of the ceiling and com
menced whipping me with twigs of birch,
with the leaves on them dipped in hot water.
1t was as hot as an oven where he laid me
down on the bench; the vapor, which had
almost suffocated me below, ascended to the
ceiling, and finding no avenue of escape,
gathered round my devoted body, fairly
scalding and bistering me; and when | re-
moved my hands from my face, felt as if !
had carried away my whole profile. tried
to hold out to the end, but | was burning.
scorching and consuming. In agony | cried
out to my tomentor to let me GET up; but
he did not understand me, or was 10th to let
me 60 and kept thrashing me with the
bunch Of twigs, until, perfectly desperate,
sprang off the bench, tumbled him over, and
descended to the hoor Snow, snow, a re-
gon Of eternal snow, seemed paradise; but
my tomentor had not done with me- and as
was hurrying to the door, he dashed over
me tub Of cold water | was SO hot that
it seemed to hiss as it touched me; he came
at me with another, and at that moment |
could imagine, what had always seemed a
travellers story, the high satisfaction and per-
feet safety with which the Russian in mid
winter, rushes from his hot-bath, and rolls
himself in the snow. The grim features of
my tormenter relaxed as he saw the change
that came over me. | withdrew to my dres-
sing room, dozed an hour on the settee, and
went out n new man.

The First Oyster-Eater,

1t has often been said that he must have
been bold man who first ate an oyster.
This is said in ignorance of the legend which
assigns the first act of oyster-eating to a
very natural cause. 1t is related that man
walking one day by the sea shore, picked up
one of these savory bivalves Just as he was
in the act of gaping. Observing the extreme
smothness of the interior of the shell, he in
sinuated his fingers between them that he
might feel their shining surface, when sud
denly they closed upon the exploring digit
with sensation less pleasurable than he an
ticipated. The prompt withdrawal of his
finger was scarcely more natural move
ment than its transfer to his mouth. 1t is
not very clear why people when they hurt
their fingers put them into their mouths, but
it is very certain that they do; and in this
case the result was most fortunate. The
owner Of the finger tasted oyster juice for
the first time, as the Chnaman in Elias es-
say having burnt his finger, first tasted crack
lin. The SAVIOR was delcous;-he had made
a great discovery; so he picked up the oys-
ter, forced open the shells, banquented u ION
their contents, and soon brought oyster eat
ing into fashion. And unlike most fashions,
it has never gone and is never likely to 90

Bear Valley.

This locality, interesting on account of its
early associations and pleasant still from the
singular contrast it presents to the surround
ing country, has become quite place of re-
sort, and during a considerable portion of
the year furnishes no small amount of hotel
trade. BY its peculiar position it is rendered
one of the most romantic places in the State,
and were it not for the cold nature of its soil
it could be made spot rivaling in its wild
beauty even the famous isle of BIannerhasset.
Instead of being surrounded by water, it is
gathered about on every side by the steep
range Of the Sierra Nevada, the spurs eX-
tending SO as to completely shut it in, what
ever direction You turn. The Valley CON
tains about three hundred acres, the waters
Of Bear river running directly through its
centre. Something over two hundred tons
of excellent hay is cut here each year, for
which market is readily found, the Difficult
ty alone being to convey it upon the ridge.
The rise is about 1900 feet, and although
not very steep, is constant even to the very
top. From this ridge the view is not easily
surpassed, the eye taking in first the valley as
it stretches out at the base OF the nearest
range, and then gradually rising until it looks
over range beyond range, takngin fremont's
peak and other noted points, until it seems
to rest upon the spot occupied by Carson

point where the Donnor family ate their last
molse of human flesh, and ever since that
lamentable occurrence, no little suffering
has been endured there by those who CHANGED
to be overtaken by the severe storms which
come up so suddenly in that vicinity. While
on visit there during the past week, we
listened whole evening to the tales of those
who like ourselves had gathered in for Il
night under our friend Wheeler's comfortable
roof, and could not but be surprised to learn
that pleasant as the valley appears at this
season of the year, it is a task attended with
no little risk to remain there during the
winter without all the precaution which ought
to attend a soiourn of months amid impass-
bic snows.-Negdda Democrat.

A Dead Heat in Race Of 13. 600 Miles.

The English papers give the particulars of
a necb-and-necll sailing match which has re-
Gently taken place between a couple of Scotch
barks, built at Glasgow, and named the Allen
ker and Earl of Ilarwood. 1t is not stated
that there was any wager made, or any bar
tering for a race, but it so happened that on
the 22d Of February last they both left the
port Of Callao in Peru, both at the same
hour, and both bound for Queenstown har-
Dor. For nineteen successive days they kept
in sight Of each other; on the twentieth,
probably in rough weather, they parted com
pany, and from that time until the morning
of the lst of July, period of more than
three months neither sighted the other, But
on the morning in question, within twenty
miles of Cape Clear, as day broke, the cap
tains of the two barks suddenly found that
they We're within speaking distance Of each
other and finally they anchored in company
in Queenstown harbor Pretty close work,
this; in race of some $4,000 miles it is not
often that dead heat is declared.
