HORACE GREELEY is coming to California
by the Central Overland route, and may be
here the last of this month The Telegram
announces the fact in rhyme, and the Bee
proposes demonstration in his honor, as
4" the editor who has never, for more than ten
years, neglected an opportunity to say a
good word for the Pacific Railroad, and for
every other great interest in our midst"
The Bee thinks q it might not be inappropri-
ate to meet him at Folsom, and convey him
as the guest of the city over the entire length
of the only railroad west of the Rocky
Mountains. Public dinners and such like he
abhors, but he does delight in the wild
shrek of the iron horse, as, in the exuber-
ance of his joy, and with glowing heart of
fire, he dashes through the woody solitudes
and over the silent plains, waking to life
and activity the lethargy of all past ages,
and bidding peoples and cities and civiliza-
ton follow westward in his train. If he
could take pleasure in any public display,
himself being the object, it would be such
as that; but to go much beyond that would
be to become bore"

THE MOUNTAIN SHEEP-or Bighorn (Ovis
Montana, is found on the Sierra Nevada,
from the TETON Pass to the Oregon line, but
it is rare animal and is seldom killed Its
length is about FIVE feet, and its weight some
times $50 pounds, considerably greater than
that of the deer or domesticated sheep. The
color is grayish brown above on the sides,
and white beneath. The horns of the ram
are very large, sometimes FIVE inches through
at the base and three feet long. The long
horns, after starting upward, turn backward,
then downward, then foreward and upward
ag in, so that the tip approaches the base,
the general shape being nearly circular or
spiral, the tip inclining outward. Mountain
eers assert that the mountain sheep makes
frequent use of his horns as an assistance in
getting down from the high cliffs which he
is d OF frequen ing Instead of Chamber
ing down tCilsom,ly over the rugged and
broken rocl s. he makes easy job of it by
lelping headlong, confidently down, over a
precipice fifty, or even hundred feet high,
and alights on his horns, which are str ong
enough 10 be unbroken by the shock, and
elastic enough to throw him, with bound,
ten or fit en- feet up into the air, and the

Nearly II mountaineers agree in stating that
they have seen the Bighorn do this, but

them more easily than those who have not;
