The DEVILS Slide-MOntana.

After travelling six miles over the
mountains above the canon, we again de-
scended into broad and open valley,
skirtcd by n level upland for several miles.
Here an object met our attention which
deserves more than casual notice. 1t
was two parallel vertical walls of rock,
projecting from the side of a mountain to
the height of 125 feet, travcrsiug the
mountain from base to summit, a dis
tance of | 800 feet. These walls we're
not to exceed thirty feet in width, and
their tops for the whole length were
crowned with growth of pines The
sides were as even as. if they had been
worked by line and plumb II the whole
space between, and on either side of
them, having been completely eroded and
washed away. We had seen many of
the capricious works wrought by eroism
upon the friable rocks of Montana. but
never before upon so majestic q scale.
Here an entire mountain-side, by wind
and water, had been removed, leaving as
the evidences Of their protracted toll
these vertical projections, which, but for
their immensity, might as readily be
mistaken for works of art as of nature.
Their smooth sides, uniform width and
height. and great length, considered in
connection with the causes which had
wrought their insulation, excited our won
der and admiration. They were all the
more curious because of their dssimilari-
ty to any other striking objects in natural
scenery that we had ever seen or heard
Of In future years, when the wonders
Of the Yellowstone are incorporated into
the family Of fashionable resorts, there
will be few of its attractions surprising
in interest this marvellous freak of the el-
ements. For some reason, best UNDER
stood by himself, one Of our companions
gave to these rocks the name of the "Dev-
lis Slide"

EVERY SATURDAY.-Charles Reade en-
joys peculiar distinction among authors.
There is not, probably, another writer Of
fiction in the world, whose work would
have such popular value in this coun-
try as to induce large publishing house
to produce it in instalments three weeks
after the same chapters have been pub
lished by another. We saw this done in
the case of Dickens edwin Brood" for
which Messrs. James r. Osgood L. Co.,
made an arrangement similar to that un-
der which they are now publishing "a
Terrible Temptation )" but, after Dickens,
Charles Reade is alone equal to supply
ing such an inducement. 1t is no less
creditable to the literary morality than
to the enterprise of the house of James
R. Osgood & Co., that those publishers
offer standing rebuke to the prevailing
American sin Of piracy. By paying Mr..
Reade large sum for advance sheets of
his new novel, they afford an honest re-
numeratien to the author, and at the
same time are able to present it to the
American public fresh and in three weeks
in advance Of its arrival in this country
in any other form. There is no doubt
that this enterprise pays; for, aside from
the public appreciation of fair dealing
Mr.. Reade's fiction excites so ravenous
an appetite in its readers that no one who
gets it fresh in Every Saturday will be
content to await its slower piratical pub
lication elsewhere. Boston Post,

A Mud Volcano.

While returning by new route to oul
camp, dull, laundering sounds, which
Gen. Washburn likened to frequent dis.
charges of distant mortar broke upon
our ears. We followed their direction
and found them to proceed from a mud
volcano, which occupied the slope of q
small hill, embowered in grove of pines
Dense volumes of steam shot into the air
with each report, through crater thirty
feet in diameter. The reports, though
irregular, occurred as often as every five
seconds, and conld be distinctly heard
half a mile. Each alternate report
shook the ground distance of two hun.
dred yards or more, and the massive jet.
Of vapor which accompanied them burst
forth like the smoke of burning gunpow
der. 1t was impossible to stand on the
edge Of that side of the crater opposite
the wind, and one of our party, Mr..
Hodges, was rewarded for his temerity in
venturing too near the rim, by being
thrown by the force of the volume Of
steam violently down the outer side oi
the crater. From hasty views, afforded
by occasional gusts of the wind, we could
see at depth of sixty feet the regurgi.

The winter and spring have been favor

model raiser of blooded sheep in this town,
with 200, has not lost single animal

eight quarts of corn at night. The rest
are divided into four pens and fed hay
with eight or ten quarts of oats day.
They eat everything up clean, and all
look well. The time for fabulous prices

farmers are exchanging their blooded
focks for the coarser breeds, which are
better adapted to the climate and for

The Great Canon OF the Yellowstone.


The Great Falls are at the head of one
of the most remarkable canons in the
word-a gorge through volcanic rocks
fifty miles long, and varying from one
thousand to nearly five hundred thousand
feet in depth. In its descent through
this wonderful chasm the river falls al
most three thousand feet. At one point,
where the passage has been worn through
a mountain range, our hunters assured
us it was more than vertical mile in
depth, and the river, broken into rap.
ids and cascades, appeared ne wider than
a ribbon. The brain reels as we gaze in.
to this profound and solemn solitude.
We shrink from the dizzy verge appalled,,
glad to feel the solid earth under our
feet, and venture no more, except with
forms extended and faces brrely protrud-
ing over the edge Of the precipice. The
stiffness is horrible. Down, down, down,
We see the river attenuated to a thread,
tossing its miniature waves, and dashing,
with puny strength, the massive walls
which imprison it. All access to its
margin is denied, and the dark gray
rocks hold it in dismal shadow. Even
the voice of'its waters in their convu-
sive agony cannot be heard. Uncheered
by plant or shrub, obstructed with mas.
sive boulders aud by iutting points, it
rushes madly on its solitary course, deep
er and deeper into the bowels of the
rocky armament. The solemn grandeur
of the scene surpasscs description 1t
must be seen to be felt. The sense of
danger with which it impresses you is
narrowing in the extreme. You feel the
absence of sound, the oppression of abb
solute silence. If you could only hear
that gurgling rievr, if you could see
living tree in the depth beneath you, ifa
bird would fly past, if the wind would
move any object in the awful silence
that reigns there, it would relieve that
tension of the nerves which the scene has
excited, and you would rise from your
PROSTATE condition and thank God that
he had permitted you to gaze, unharmed,
upon this majestic display of natural arch
itecture. As it IS, sympthizing in spirit
with the deep gloom of the scene, you
crawl from the dreadful verge, scared
lest the firm rock give way beneath and
prccipitate you iuto the horrid gulf
