cows. We have hardly been out Of sigh,
Of buffalo oil day. aud have sesu several
bands swimming the river. We have also
seen several large bands Of elk one ths,
numbered sixty three.
Jaly lG.-Ibs hunters say that they
have net ssen game in such abundance
for yeass. Buffalo ars eli going toward
the north. We killed to-day two elk aad
. ct buffalo COW. Saw several droves o
antelope. The Yellowstone country de.
servedly possesses the reputation Of being
the best bunting grounds 10 North Amer
ics. Many End that buffalo nest alone !.
not BY any means rich living, and begin
70 talk Of the lusciousnsss Of potatoes and
corn bread.
July 1.-THE most exciting event o.
the day was the chase aud capture Of some
young bald eagles, the 6rst that many hsd
seen. We passed to-day . stratum Of lig
mite over two milss in length and avers'
ging seven feet in thickness, and sbov,
this another Of four feet in thickness, the
intermediate space being loose gravel
Huge masses Of the Ignite had become
detached BY the caving Of the bank, and
falling in the channel made awkward
points to pass with safety. The aspect d
the country 10 becoming more broken .,
we approach the "maurais serre." Or bae
lands. The country wears now in, though
without the district 80 called, is "bad
enough to be included. Many Of the hills
We have seen to-day srs quite picturesqu.
in appearance, and assume 10 the distance
the outlines Of ancient ruins. We found
. recent camping place Of some Grow In
dams, aud near the ashes Of their camp

10 dscamp I'd haste, And Gasrs psoJsSlJ'ii Il
fear Of some numbering baud OF Biscktee,
whose "signs" the hunters saw near. Th
Grows make q soup from the pulp Of tL'
inner bark Of the cottonwood, and wher
ever they camp the timber frequently 70
miles around is totally ruined. Hunter
returned with buffalo and deer.
July 1--we are now about l35 mile
from the mouth. A small herd Of buffal
crossed our bows this morning Of which Vi
got three. "Cordeling" is by far the mos
.abgFious iabor I've seen yet aud as far a
Use and abuse is concerned the neer
slaves in our southern states cannot $40,
as much cause to complain o. the voya
geur Of the Northwest.
July l9.-Three Of the horses were pu
on the cord this morning and the boa
moves more lively. Over six hundre
pounds Of meat was thrown overheard thi
morning to make room for some more fish
The Yellowstone abounds in FISH whic
serve - something Of a variety on our ia
bic.
Audubon the celebrated naturalist say
there is difference in the habits of tn
catfish of the upper Missouri and trbuta
ries TO those Of the lower Missouri and t.
that attributes the fact that they are muc
better eating.
July 2O.-The fact that the inhabitant
Of the upper country, Voyageurs, Hunter.
Irappers, And indians, suasist almost en-
thely upon meat and are a roDa,: hard
people seems to conflict with iavorit
theory with many ,ha, vegetab. diet i
the proper one Tor man. Hunters return
