The VALLEY OF DEATH.-Eighty miles
north east from Camp Cady, on the Majave
river, California, there is the well known and
much dreaded death Valley" 1t is said
to be lower than the level of the sea, and
wholly destitute Of water The valley is
some fifty miles lorg by thirty in breadth, and
save two points it is wholly encircled BY
mountains, up whose steep sides it is impos-
sible for any but expert climbers to ascend
Itis devoid of vegetation, and shadow Of bird
or wild beast never darken its white glaring
sand. In the early days, trains of emigrants
bound for California, passed, under the di-
rection of guides, to the South of Death Val
ley, by what is known as the "old Mormon
road" In the year 1850, large train with
some three hundred emigrants, mostly from
Illinois and Missouri, came South from Salt
Lake, guided by Mormon. When near
Death Valley, dissent broke out in part
of the train, and twenty-one families came to
the conclusion that the Mormon knew moth
ing about the country, SO they appointed one
of their number a leader, and broke off from
the main party, This leader determined to
turn due west, So with the people and wag-
ons and hocks he travelled for three days, and
then descended into the broard valley, who's Q
treacherous mirage promised water. They
fedcueu luo CcHtcT, Dut OHIf tUc WHlle, gar
ing sand, bounded by the scorching peaks,
met their gaze on every side. Around the
valley they wandered, and one by one the
men died, and the painting aocks stretched
themselves in death under the hot sun. Then
the children. crying for water, died at their
mothers breast, and with swollen tongues
and burning vitals, the mothers followed
Wagon after wagon was abandoned, and
strong men tottered and raved, and died
After weeks wandering dozen survivors
found some water in the hollow of a rock in
mountain. 1t lasted but short time, then
all perished but two, who. through some mi
raculous MEANS got out of the valley and fol-
lowed the trail of their former companions.
Eightyseyen persons with hundreds of ami
mails perished in this fearful place, and since
then the name of Death Valley has been ap-
piled to it.

GuAsTLY TowER.--In Lamartine's Pill
grimmage to the Holy Land, the following
interesting passage occurs
When was about league from Nisa, the
last Turkish town almost on the frontier OF
Servia, saw n large tower rising up in the
midst of the plain, as white as Parian mar
BILE. touk the path which led to it. / dc
sired the lad who accompanied me to hold my
horse, and sat down under the shade of the
tower to enjoy few moments repose. Nc
sooner was | seated, than raising my eyes tn
the monument, | saw that the walls, which
supposed to be built of marble, or regular
rows of white stone, were composed of rows
of human skulls, bleached by rain ard sun,
and cemented by little sand and lime,
formed entirely the triumphaal arch which
now sheltered me from the burning sum-
There must be from fifteen to twenty thou
sand. In some places portions of the hair
are still hanging, and waved like llchen or
moss with every breath of wind. The noun
tain breeze was blowing fresh, penetrating
the innumerable cavities of the skulls, and
sounded like mournful and plaintive sigh,
These were the skulls of Servians who had
been put to death by the Pacha in the last
insurrection of Servia.
