THE GREAT BASIN.
The Dead Sea Of MonO-Bemarkabie
Body Of Water.

ne DG4A4 BCn VI AAoa~D
Body Of water.
There are many things in theGreat
Basin, or along its rim, which ex-
cite the interest of travellers. A cor
respondent asks us to tell him
"whether Mono Lake is actually the
dead sea- 1t is represented to be. 1
am told that its bitter waters are
fatal to all living things. If you
can, you will please say something
about that singular body of water"
We gather from the "Report on the
Mineral Resources of the States and
Territories west of the Rocky Noun
tains,p that Mono Lake lies ten
miles southwest Of the dividing line
between California and Nevada, and
is about fourteen miles long and
nine wide. 1t has never been sound
ed, but a trial said to have been
made with line of three hundred
feet failed to reach bottom. BY
chemical analysis a gallon of the
water, weighing eight pounds, was
found to contain 1000 grains of
solid matter, consisting principally
of chloride of sodium, carbonate of
soda, sulphate Of soda, borax and
silica. These substances render the
water so acrid and nauseating that it
is unfit for drinking or even bathing.
Leather immersed in it is soon de-
stroyed by its corrosive properties
and no animal, not even fish or a
frog, can exist in the water for more
than a short time. The only thing
able to live within or upon the wa
tiers of this lake is a species of fly,
which springs from Larvae bred in its
bosom, after an ephemeral life dies,
and, collecting ON the surface, is
drifted to the shore, where the re-
mains collect in vast quantities, and
are fed upon by the ducks or gath
cred by the Indians, with whom they
are a staple article of food. Nest
ling under the eastern water shed of
the Sierra, Mono Lake receives sew
eral considerable tributaries; and,
although destitute of any outlet,
such is;the aridity;of the atmosphere
that it is always kept at nearly uni
formlevel by the process of evapora-
ton. So dense and sluggish is the
water rendered through supersatu-
ration with various salts and other
foreign matters, that only the strong
est winds raise a ripple on its sur
face. As the Sierra in this neighbor-
hood reaches nearly its greatest alti-
tude, the scenery about Mono is va
ried and majestic, some parts of it
being at the same time marked by q
most cherries and desolate aspect.
The bitter and fatal waters of this
lake render it literally a dead sea,
and its surroundings-wild, gloomy
and foreboding-are suggestive of
sterility and death. The decompos-
ing action of the water is shown by
its effect upon the bodies of a CON-
pany of Indians, twenty or thirty in
number, who, while seeking to es-
cape from their white pursuers, took
refuge in the lake, where they were
shot by their enemies, who left
them in the water. In the course
of few weeks not a vestige of their
bodies was to be seen, even the
bones having been decomposed by
this powerful solvent. Mineral Gu
riosities abound in the neighbor.

Drift over the slopes of the sunshine land,
wonderful. wonderful snow
Oh, pure as the breast of virgin saint!
Drift tenderly. soft, and slow.
Over the slopes Of the sunrise land.
And into the haunted dells
Ofthe forests of pine, whore the sobbing winds
Are tuning their memory beAs-
Into tie forests Of signing pines,
And over those yellow slopes
That seem but the work of the cleaving pillow,
But cover so many hopes
They are made indeed. and stralghtly made,
Not shapen with loving care;
But the souls let out and broken blades
May never be counted here!
Fall over those lonely hero graves
o delicate dropping snow
Like the blessing Of Gods unfaltering love,
On the warrior heads below;
Like the tender sigh OF q mothers soul,
As she waiteth and Hatcheth for one
Who never came back from the sunrise land,
When TIL terrible war was done.
And here, where lieth the high of heart,
Drift white as the bridal veil
That will never be worn by the dropping girl
Who stitch afar, go pale,
Fall. fast as the tears Of the suffering wife,
Who stretcheth despairinS hands
Out 70 the blood rich battle-felds
That crimson the eastern sands.
FAN in thy virgin tenderness,
0 delicate snow and cover
Ths graves Of0ur heroes. sanctheds
Husband. and son. and lover.
Drift tenderly over those yellow slopes,
And mellow our deep distress,
And put us in mind of the shriven souls
And their mantles Of Righteousness.

Ia STATE CAPITAL.-On the 81 inst. Assem-
biyman Giltner, of Mariposa, introduced a
bill into the Legislature, for the removal and
permanent location of the State Capital. 1t
Is unfortunate for the State that SO much
money has already been expended ON the
State House, at Sacramento, but as to the
necessity of removing the capital there can
be no doubt. The idea of locating the capi
tai of so great and wealthy State as Cali.
fornia is destined to become, in the marsh
and mud of Sacramento, where the inhabi.
tants expect to be drowned out at least three
winters out of FIVE, is perfectly absurd and
preposterous. There are many fine, salubri
GUS and healthy localities In the State, and if
the Legislature would select one of those
localities as the future capital, we believe the
people generally would say /" Amen" to the
act
