GEs. SHERMAN's speech at Des Moines,
Iowa, was very Characteristic: -.
"He stated the pleasure it gave him to meet
the people Of Iowa, and especially his old s0l
diers He recognized. tRany of those who were
with him in the field. In the first place. there
was 4 tdwny hue to the complexion, and then
therelwas the honest expression which always
spealls from the eye of the soldier. He had
come 70 Des Moines to see slds broshers and
their fami!ies.;bnt was glad TO meet the citizens
and his old soldiers. Twenty years ago, whom
he bad concluded to go to California, he had
advised his brothsrs y come TO this point,
which was then military post and trading
station. He hoped they would long live here
and leave many of their family name behind
Four years ago, when the war broke out, he
had sat down and pondered over the crisis
He concluded that it was folly to break up the
nation for 100000 slaves, and be entered the
Union cause.
1t was then thought that $4,000 troops were
sufficient, and, because he doubted this, he
was supposed to be out Of his head. $4,000
men on paper made only 10000 in the field,
and less at the front. He had many ups and
downs in the course Of an aventful life. He
supposed that he might be regarded as up. He
priced more highly those true friends who clung
to him when down more than when he was
riding the topmOst wave.'

A MARVELLOUS LAKE.-The jacksonville
(Oregon) Sentinel, describes a marvellous lake,
called the Great Sunken Lake. situated in the
Cascade mountains, about IS miles northeast
from Jacksonville Tho lake rivals the famous
valley Of Sinbad the sailor. 1t is thought to
average 1900 feet down to the water all round.
The walls are almost perpendicular, running
down into the water and leaving n6 beach
The depth Of the water is unknown, and its
surface is smooth and unruffled, as it lies so
far above the surface of the mountain that the
air currents do not affect it. It's length is esti.
mated at l2 miles. and its width at 10. There
is an island in its centre, having trees upon it.
No living man ever has, and probably never
will be able to reach the waters edge. 1t lies
silent, g. i'll and mysterious in the bosom of the
Everlasting hills" like huge we'll, scooped
out by the hands Of the giant genii of the
mountains in the unknown ages gone by, and
around it the primeyal forests watch and ward
are keeping. ..
A visiting party fired rife several times
into the water at an angle Of Is degrees, and
were able tOnote several seconds Of time from
the report Of the gun until the ball struck the
water. This seems incredible, but is vouched
for by some of the most reliable citizens.
