The Poisoned Valley os Java.

1t is known as the Guevo Upas, or
Poisoned Valley, and; following
path which had been made for the pur-
pose, the party shortly reached it with
q couple Of dogs and some fowls, for
the purpose Of making some expert
ments. On arriving at the mountain,
the party dismounted and scrambled
up the side of the hill, distance of a
quarter of mile, with the assistance
Of the branches of trees and projec-
ting roots.
When few yards from the valley
strong, nauseous smell was expert
enced; but on approaching the mar
gin, this inconvenience was no longer
found. The valley is about half a
milein circumference, Of an oval shape,
and about thirty feet in length. The
bottom of it appeared to be fiat, with
out any vegetation, and a few large
stones scattered here and there. Skele-
tons of human beings, tigers, bears
and all sorts of wild animals, lay a.
bout in profusion. The ground on
which they lay at the bottom of the
vale appeared to be hard, sandy sub
stance, and no vapor was perceived.
The sides were covered with vegeta-
ton. 1t was now proposed to enter it
and each of the party having lit ci-
gar, managed to get within twenty
feet Of the bottom, where sickening,
nauseous smell was experienced, with
out any difficulty of breathing. A
dog was fastened at the end of BAN
boo, and thrust to the bottom of the
valley, while some of the party, with
their watches in their hands, observed
the effects. At the expiration of four
teen seconds the dog fell off his legs,
withou. moving Or looking round, and
continued living only eighteen minutes.
The other now left the party and went
to bis companion; on reaching him he
was observed to stand quite motionless
and at the end Of ten seconds fell
down; he never moved his limbs after,
and died at the end of seven minutes.
A fowl was now thrown in, which died
within minute and half. A heavy
shower fell during the time these expe-
riments were going forward, which,
from the interesting nature Of the ex-
periments, was quite disregarded. On
the opposite side of the valley to that
which was visited, lay human skele-
ton, the head resting on the right arm.
The effect of the weather had bleach
ed the bones as white as ivory. This
was probably the remains of some
wretched rebel, hunted towards the
valley, and taking shelter there uncon-
scious Of its character.

rifles, intending to follow, and if pos
sible, secure him. The doctor armed
himself with fresh pine; but be-
fore these arrangements were compile
ted, strange cry came from the spot,
that caused our blood to run cold a.
gain. The Indians leaped to their
feet, and seizing their tomahawks,
rushed to the gap. They knew the
meaning Of that cry-it was the death
yell Of their tribel
They entered the road that we had
trampled down in the morning, follow
ed by those who had loaded their guns.
We watched them from the platform
with anxious expectation, but before
they reached the spot, We could see
that the ''stoor" was slowly settling
down. 1t was plain that the struggle
was ended.
We stood still in breathless silence,
and watching the floating spray that
noted their progress through the drift.
At length they had reached the scene
of the struggle. There was an omi-
nous stiffness, that lasted for a mo-
ment,and then the Indians fate was an
nounced the sad, wild note that came
wailing up the valley. 1t was the
dirge Of a Shawnee warrior!
They had found their brave conrad
dead, with his scalping knife buriedin
the heart of his terrible antagonist.
1t was a costly supper, that bear
meat, but, perhaps, the sacrifice had
saved many lives. We would keep
the cimmaron for tomorrow, next day,
the man-root; and the next-what
next! Perhaps-the man!
Fortunately, we were not driven to
this extremity. The Frost had again
set in, and the surface of the snow,
previously moistened by the sun and
rain, soon became caked into ice strong
enough to bear us, and upon its firm
crust, We escaped out of the perilous
pass, and gained the warmer region of
the plains in safety.
