DEATH vALLEY-ENTER NOT.

"A correspondent of the n. 7. Tribune, who
is writing sketches Of q trip through the south
eastern portion Of Nevada and southern Utah
for that paper, gives the annexed account Of q
remarkable country near the Nonolimbo Pass
through the Black Rock range Of mountains Of
southern Utah: -.
While riding slowly ahead with Nick and our
Indian guide, my attention was attracted to
small valley in the gorge Of the mountains. "A
light, blnishlooking vapor was ascending from
. large number of hot springs. Thevalley was
not particularly inviting, but as the men and
animals were tired, I thought would camp Ii,
it for the night The guide, however, assured
me it was certain death to inhale the deadly
vap0rs. We went into camp elsewhere; but
the next morning the whole party started down
the slope toward the valley, feeling, as well az
smelling our way, cautiously. The doctor had
provided himself with couple of Indian dogs
and several live rabbits, for the purpose of
making experiments After scrambling down
about two hundred yards, the doctor, who was
in advance, detected the absence of oxygen in
the air, by the sudden change in temperature
and the increased difficulty he experienced in
respiration. A nauseous, suffocating smell was
also perceptible every time the wind blew to-
ward US. The valley Was about quarter of q
mile in circumference and oval in shape. Not a
solitary sagebrush, not even single blade Of
grass, nor any living thing was to be seen in it
but ghastly human skeleton lay beside one of
the nearest springs. Scattered around were
the skeletons of buffalo, deer, and other wild
animals. The bottom of the valley appeared
to be hard, sandy soil, dry and cracked, as If
by heat, in various places. One of the Indian
dogs was fastened to the end of a lariat and
lowered down, while some Of the party, with
watches in hand, observed the effect. In four
teen seconds the dog fell down motionless and
in three minutes was dead. The other dog,
which now trotted down to his companion. was
motionless in twelve seconds and lived about
five minutes Our guide Informed us that the
existence of the valley had been known to his
tribe for several years. Two of their braves
perished in it while endeavoring to corral some
antelope, all Of which perished too. These
springs generate such large volume of car
bonic acid gas as to completely poison all the
atmosphere We had no oppOrtu-
nifty of obtaining any water for analysis AS
the place is entirely out Of the way of over
land emigration, there is but little danger that
it will ever be frequented by bands of pioneers
or pleasure parties. We named this canyon,
on our feld.book, the Valley of the Shadow of
Death. While some of the men were erecting
q stone pyramid on commanding position, we
cut from an old pair of saddle-bags stout
piece of leather, burnt in the warning, death

Marrr Her First.

Many years ago in what is now a
fourishing city, lived a stalwart
blacksmith, fond of his pipe and his
joke. He was also fond of his
blooming daughter, whose many
gTaces had ensnared the affections of
a young printer. The couple after a
season Of billing and cooing zen
gagged themselves" and nothing but
the consent Of the young lady's pa
rents prevented their union To
obtain this an interview was arranged
and the typo prepared little speech
to admOnish and convince the old
man, who sat enjoying his pipe in
perfect content The typo dilated
on the fact of their long friendship,
their mutual attachment, their hopes
for the future, and like topics; and
taking the daughter by the hand, he
said II am now, sir, to ask your per-
mission to transplant this lovely
flower from its parent bed'-but his
feelings Overcame him; and he for
got the remainder Of his oratorical
flourish and finally wound up with,
"from its parental bed to my own"
The father keenly relished this dis
comfture Of the suitor, and reno
wing his pipe and blowing cloud of
smoke, replied: "Well, young man, 1
don't know as l have any objections,
provided you marry the girl first"

Combat between a Fish and a Diver,

Combat between a Fish and a Diver
An interesting story is told by a
paper published in the Isle of Man,
which resembles Victor Hugo's ac-
count of the devil-fsh. a diver who
was engagedin laying the concrete
blocks under water at the pier works
at Duglas, suddenly observed an
immense creature, of a fishy nature,
eyeing him attentively with exten-
ded jaws. Judging from the express
sion Of its feaures that it viewed his
proceedings with disapproval, and
that is Intentions were hostile, the
diver Thought it prudent 10 take the
initiative, and he accordingly thrust
one Of his tools into the creatures S
mouth. Then commenced a fearful
struggle. The superior weight and
science of the diver, however, gave
him an advantage over the monster,
who soon showed symptoms Of dis
tress; the diver Immediately signall-
ed to the man in charge of the pump
and was drawn rapidly to the sur
face, bearing with him triumphantly
the body of his exhausted antago-
mist, which proved to be "a 'toad-fsh
or ''fisl1ing- frog" 1t measured from
the tip of the snout to the end, of the
tail, four feet six inches; across the
shoulders from fin to fin, three feet,
and across the mouth, extending
vertically and horizontally, ten to
twelve inches; and but for the size
he was sufficiently loathsome and Of
fensive in appearance to render him
a pleasing addition to any private
aquarium.

THE JOURNAL.



A gentlemen who isnoW q resident
'ef East Boston states that after an
unsuccessful soiour1 il California Of
sevetaI years, be took passage in a
bark bound to New York. She
touched at Panama for provisions
and water, and having procured
these, her Captain proposed 10 sail
the next day. That evening the
gentleman wrote letters to his friends
stating that he might be expected
home in three months. At the usu-
al time he retired to bed dan fell as
ieep. but about an hour afterwaTd.
found himself on deck, fully dressed.
He somewhat startled, but attribu
ting it to a fit Of somnambulism, af-
ter taking a turn or two to fore and
aft, and exchanging a few remarks
with the man who had the anchor
watch, again undressed and went to
bed. Imagine his surprisel when he
again found himself On deck, dressed
as before. Thrice he went to bed,
and thrice he found himselfOn deck.
As he had never before experienced
any kind Of E0mnambulism, and was
an unconpromisiug teetOler, be be-
gan to reflect whittier there was not
something supernatural in this new
and strange experience; and he i'm
mediately made up his mind that he
would not proceed in the vessel, but
90 home across the Isthmus ofPana-
ma With this thought in his mind
he turned in the fourth time, and
dreamed that he had decided rightly,
Much to the regret of the Captain,
who had been very kind to him, and
who expressed an ardent desire to
enjoy his company, he left the vessel
and arrived at home in safety. "A
few months later he learned from the
newspapers that the bark had been
captured by pirates in the Straits of
Magellan, and that all hands but one
boy Aad been murdered by pirates.
The boy concealed himself below
while the pirates were killing the
rest of the crew, and after undergo
ing great peril, succeeded in reach
ing Valparaiso. This led the gentle |
man to recur to the date ofhis expe- |
renee on board of the vessel at Pa
mama, and after relating the story to |
bis parents, they told him that in
company with some pious friends |
they had mace him the subject of
special prayer that very evening, and
they regarded his leaving the vessel
and his return home as an answer to |
their prayer.

sLPeters chair.

St. Peters chair, or the "Chair of
-ofSt Peter" has been spoken Of and
Known to ChristendOm since the
carly days after the establishment Of
the Popedom in Europe. The fol
lowing is q description Of the chair:
0St PeteIss Chair is a yellow chair,
formed Of four uprights, united by
horizontal bars, two being higher
than the others TO form the back.
The front legs we're evidently once
square, but they are much eaten
away by a3e, and have also had
1;eces cut from them. These time
worn portions have been strengthen
ed and rendered more ornamental by
peices of dark acacia wood which
form the whole interior part of the
chair, and which appear to have
hardly fered at all from the same
causes which have so altered the ap-
pearance of the legs. The panels
and the front and sides, and the row
6F arches with the tympanum above
tbem, which form the back, are also
composed Of this wood. But the
most remarkable circumstance about
these two different kinds of material
Is that aIlthe ivory ornaments which
cover the front Gnd back of the chair
are attached to the acacia portions
alone and never to the parts COM
Dosed Of oak. Some of the or
namentation is attributed to the age
of Charlemange, and some, such as
the Iabors of Hercules, in the ivory.
panels are more ancient, the oak
work is deemed likely to be as old
IS the tradition states it to be. It
Is Known that Damascus placed it
in tbe 6eutistry of the Vatican, and
considered l. probable that up to
that period it ma have been kept in
the crypt of st. Peters tomb or in.
the basilliea of Constantin2ple. It
was moved from chapel to chapei OF
the Vatican before the days ofAlex-
ander VII, who enclosed it as a

A Canada paper says: "a report

when Cen Wheeler, and one Of his
two Young and beautiful daughters
were massacred, the Other young la

of age, disappeared, having been
carried up the country by her special
captor. However, before long her
friends were relieved from the sus-
pense which was caused by an uncer-

of an authenticated story. 1t was
asserted that Miss Wheeler, after
having stabbed her master, his wife
and +6ree shildren, had flung herself
down a veil and put period TO her
own existence. There was no reason
70 doubt the story, and it has been
believed to the present time. We
now discover that the story was a
fabrication from the first to last, and
that the poor young lady has sur
