WONDERS OF THE PLAINS The Placer
vile american gives a description of Steam
Boat Springs" 1t says:
This is the name given to a number of
boiling springs, ten miles north of WaSh-ho
valley, in Utah territory, ur0n tributary
Of the Truckee. We derive our information
from Col. J.. A. Norton Of Pacery,lle, who
with his lady and Il party from Genoa,
Carson Valley, lately visited them
For distance of three-fourthS of n mile
do these remarkable springs pour their
waters, rushing, boiling and foamiug, through
innumcrable hSurcs in the rocky formation
in which they are found The entire of one
bank of the stream ON which they are Situa-
ted, distance of from thirty to eighty rods
in width and three-fourthS Of mile il length.
and raising backward from the river in
places from sixty to eighty feet, the whole
seems one vast deposit from the water that
for ages had been elected thcrcfrom 1t is
not that boiling hot water is elected through
out this whole extent from well defined
springs, bnt the surface is filled with nnu-
merabe cracks or tiSureS, from four to eight
cen inches in width, communicating with
Subterranean cavities or chambers through
which the boiling water is forced with great
velocity, and producing Il noise closely resem-
bling that produced by the wheels of pow
erfuI steamer upon the water. A singular
feature is, that in large cracks but few
feet from each other, the boiling water is
seen flowing in opposite directions and in
others changing from one direction to anoth-
Cr at intervals of few moments. In many
places the waters overflow the surface but
more generally traverse the creyices at vari-
Gus depths from the surface generally in
view but sometimes so deep within, as not
to be distinguished, whilst the ceaseless
roaring spaShng and kissing is heard in
every direction And jets of steam that will
ScaId the hand instantly on application, are
here and there forced through the openings
and fsurcs, high above the surface of the
formation, and with great violence.
There is one place more remarkable if
possible than Others it is where the surface
of the rocky deposit is unbroken vet loudly
distinct beneath is heard the roaring as of a
strong blast furnace. Not drop of water
is visible here, but the rock or deposit on

JOE DowNEY, THE Dramatic PIoNEER-
The evening B~jie'an in speaking of the

neer of the drama IN California; This is
doing Injustice to the early stars of the
theatrical armament who illuminated the
halls, or, rather, tents of TheSpis, long be
fore Dr. r. made his appearance in this
country. If oar memory serves MS correctly,
we think Mrs Kirby (now Mrs Stark,
Joe Downcv, and number of others Of
lesser uster, are entitled to that honor
We recolect that early in the spring of
1850 we visited Sacramento in mud

tabliShment upon our arrival. We did so.
The first piece was a local drama, entitled
The PioncerS,' Illustrating the hardshipS
of the early comcrS and the yiciSSitudes they
had to encounter, and wherein Joe enacted
prominent part. During the first act of
the piece the water, which had already over
flowed the banks of the Sacramento river,
commenced rising in the pit The play went
on, however. The water rose higher and

a dead break for the doors, and hurried to
the nearest place Of shelter The curtain
rang down, but the persons in the boxes in
sisted that the play should go ON. 1t did
proceed until near the close Of the second
act, when, awful to relate, the SllHnty almost
capSized, but Immediately righted again,

1t was now time for the groundlings to

That "a hazel eye inspired at first Pa-

it was duly announced that "A Russian prin-
cess was to occupy the vacant place in tdc

breathing princess in a diligence We had
rcyolycd in our mind what such Il parsonage
in such a situation would resemble. and had
just come to the conclusion that she would
look and feel very like a fish out Of water, "
when short, plump, gOOd-natured looking
lady made her appearance, and an instant
afterwards we were halfsmothcrcd in the
ample folds Of pctticoat Off drove the
pondcrouS vehicle ; and Il dozen heads Of
as many Norwegian officers were lowered as
we moved away. Some Of these were loung
crS, others had come to bid our fair compan-
ion adicu but all appeared acquainted with
her. We soon fouud that the princess
could make herself mt home in Il diligence.
We therefore concluded that she had been
accustomed % rough it, " or had the good
sense to take things lit this world as they
occur n quality Of mind often possessed by
persons Of nobility; who frequently submit
TO incOnyenencics in travelling with much
better grace than many Of more pIebeian ori-
gin. We found her lively, agreeable, and
always willing to talk. She expressed great
surprise that We should have remained 50
long as five minutes without smoking, and
begged us to make her no obstacle to our
doing so; but she was extremely amazed on
finding that we had neither cigars nor tobac-
60 in our possession perhaps, also, little
disappointed, for n cigarette might have
proved acceptable to her, as we subsequently
saw clcgant-looking women in Russia bcguil-
ing themselves by smoking in their travel.
