Canon.
rsan Francisco FuIletin.I

The diaden for scenic grandeur has
heretofore been won by Yosemite,
but late explorations in Sierra Nevada
have re. .eaIed some hali-dozen con-
testants for that honor. Among them
may be mentiond Mount Shasta the
canon Of the South Fork Of Kings
river ION the shadow of Mount Whit
ney), and the great Tuolumnc river
canon. John Muir, the lonely ad-
venIuerous explorer and geologist of
the Yosemite Valley, and Galen
Clark, State Guardian Of that Valley,
last month penetrated and explored
the last mentioned canon, which Pro-
fessor Whitney and Clarence King
did not enter, the former expressing
a doubt, in his State geological report,
whether it was possible to get into
at all. Mr.. Muir reports that this
canon lies about eighteen miles in an
almost due nOrtherly direction from
Yosemite Valley. Its beginning or
mouth is below Hetcb- Hetchy
Valley, and the main Tuolumne river
runs through it, 1t curves in an un =
broken line for over forty miles, and
and runs up to and ends in the very
heart of the SUBMITS of the upper
Sierra Nevada. The unephoniOusly
named Hetch-Hetchy Valley cOnsti--
tutes an expanded portion of the
great Tuolumne canon. which prop
crly begings at the eastern end OF
Hetch Hetchy. and has, from thence
to its head, length Of twenty miles
of continuous, unbroken vertical
walls of granite, similar to, but more
clear cut, and with greater depth
than those of Yosemite Valley
Yosemite Valley has an average width
of half mile, and is in one place a
mile wide. but the T2olumne canon
has nowhere a width exceeding 4
quarter Of a mile, and is in some
places much narrower than that
The Tuolumne river. which runs
through it, has twice the width OF the
Merced. The falls of the Merced'
Yosemite surpass those of the Tuo-
lumne canon in unbroken volumes of
descending water; but in endless va
riety of cascades and water shoots
the Tuolumne canon is far superior.
The great walls Of the canon are
scanned by water-worn assures, down
which rivers leap, churn, thunder,
brawl and sing with all possible tari-
cites and expressions ofsound. There
is one water-leap 1900 feet high IN
the Toulumne canon. but it is not
unbroken, like the Upper Yosemite,
and is in that respect inferior to the
latter. The upper Yosemite falls are
LOCO feet high. In the spring, when
the river is full, the fall tumbles into
a great water-worn, rocky bowl |
with a sound resembling the fail from |
the sky of gigantic cannOn-Dalls on
massive and tightly-stretehed drums.
This sound closely resembles. yet
hardly rises to the noisy dignity OF
the loudest peals of thunder; but the
noise produced by the Toulumne wa
terfalls is as deafening as the loudest
thunder thunder which is brought
directly home to the ears Of the mar
rowness and vast depth of the great
ice-coyered fssure and the ulsurpass

us are such. Let the plaintiff pay
hiatt anyhow. F.N
. We do not want high salaries or fees
paid to public officers, who could not
earn one-tenth part of the amount
they get for days work, "in corn

We do not want lawyer or a doctor
to charge what he "pleases" for a days
work, while blacksmith or a labor

perhaps, less. M
We do not want ''eoTit tar" i'm
posed on a man who is unable to pay
bis debts and his neighbor has to ''sue
him. for the debt, nor do we think it
fair that the debtor should pay for be
ing sued" in the shape of the plain
tiff's attorneys fee, unless il is right
tOI every one to kick man who is
"going down hill" or for the "strong
hogs to fall on the poor ones and eat
them up.n
We do not want a prOhigate husband
to have it in his power to squander his
wife's separate property" or to con-
troll it in any way against hericonsent,
nor should it be ''liablen for his liquor
bills or any other liability of his. Let
the wife's own separate property, at
her marriage, remain exclusively hers,
and subject solely to her own exclusive
control, free from her husbands
debts" If the wife contracts a debt
of her town." let her separate proper
ty be held liable therefor.
We want every man to be left free to
pursue any business or calling he
pleases, without having to obtain "a
license" to do so, because we can't un-
derstand why a mechanic or farmer
should not as well pay License tax"
as physician or keeper of jack.
We want all public officers to be
paid fixed salaries for their services,
instead of by system of "fees" pay
ing one officer five or six dollars day
the year round. while another who
does as much. receives only one-half
as much, or less than half.
As punctuality is great virtue, we
want the "statute of limitations" so
amended as to COMPEL traders and deal

that it also be required that note be

Rail Road laws, free fighting and free

New York, Philadelphia, or Boston a
preference over our own cities under
the second we might be as likely TO
strike a friend as an enenmy; and az
to the third, things would become
so much ''mixed" up, that a man
would not know his own wife from his

The year now feeting to its close
has been remarkable over most of its
immediate predecessors for the num-
Der Of persons who have died in it
who were Of unusual prominence be-
fore the world. A review of the
death roll of 1872 would be Interest,"
ing at this time, 1t would certainly
recall many mornful thoughts inspired
during the year by sudden taking off
of this or that conspicuous public
character, and which in the hurry
and whirl of our busy lives were nec>
essarily transitory. rhe great names
which naturally occur to us the mo-
ment we begin to think of DEATH
doings for the past twelve months are
those of Greeley, Seward, and Morse.
These were our countrymen, and it is
worthy of notice that the old world
has no losses of equal value and dis
tinction. It is curious coincidence
that the founders of three leading
metropolitan journals should die with
in two months of each other-Gree-
ley, of the Tribune; Bennett, of the
Herald. Spalding, of the World. A
celebrated French journalist, Adolph
Gueroult, editor of the Paris Nation
ale, and a well known American edi-
tor, Edward A. Pollard, formerly of
the Richmond (Va) Examiner, also
passed away. Among the distinguish
ed soldiers who died were Major Gen
erals Meade and Halleck, of the reg
ular army, both Of them very con-
spicuous commanders in the late war.
Lieutenant Generals Ewell and Pat
ten Anderson, of the Confederate ar
my Marshall Forey, of the French
Army, the man who beat the Austri
ans at Montebello; Field Marshal
Sir George Pollock. +. G, b., Consta-
BILE of the Tower. a veteran of the
Indian wars, and Gen. Hennefather,
another British soldier of renown.-
Among American statesmen were
Seward, ex- Postmaster General Ram
dali, ex-Minister to Russia Ingersoll
Humphrey Marshall, the rotund and
iovial Kentucky Congressman; ex-
Senators Wall, of New Jersey;
Grimes, of Iowa. Walker, of Wiscon-
sin Bragg, of North Carolina Van
Wrinkle, of West Virginia, and Sena-
tor Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, over
whom eulogies were pronOuced last
week in the Senate On the roll
of foreign statesmen were Juarez, the
President of Mexico; Earl Mayo,
Gevenor-general of India, who was
assassinated by native religious ia
natic in that country; Joseph MAJ
zini. the famous Italian agitator, who
was planning another revolution when
death Quilted his rastless brain; the
duke of Persigny, tie Third Napo'e-
on's favorite and right-hand man;
Sir Henry Bulwer, formerly British
minister at Washington, and recent
ly created Baron Dalling, and Bull
wer, brother Of the novelist; Lord

and the duke of Bedford. Royalty

up with lightning-like rapidity, chang
ed IN color, shot down narrow
groove of rocks, like an arrow of
steam The great sculpture marks of
glacial action are much newer and
more easily read in the Tuolumne than
IN the canon Of the Yosemite. The
glacial alphabet, by which the histo-
ry of the glacial action can be read !,
is very much blurred in Yosemite by
the subsequent action of rain, snow,
sun, winds aud earthquakes but in
the Tnolumne canon the page is fresh
from glacial workshops on the sum
mits of mounts Lyell. Dana. Gibbs
and Ritter. The glacier on the latter
has length and width of abount
half mile and depth Of about 500
feet. The glaciers from these noun
tains, Mr.. Muir thinks, at one time
not only filled the great Tuolumne
canon. but lavishly overfowed it as
river overAows its banks in spring
time. - i
Messrs. Muir and Clark had a rough
task in exploring this great cA on and
its surroundings. They were forced
to wade rushing icy torrents. the sides
Of which brushed the foot of perpem.

ed one night in their shirt sleeves,
aud went supperless to bed. One of
the walls mentioned is 1900 feet
high.
Those who have come out of Yose,
mite by the COulterviile trial will re-
member what magnificent view of
the Bridal Vail Falls is had from it.
Those falls are by no means the larg.
est. but they are the most beautiful
and appropriately named of all the
many falls Of the great valley. TIE
winds swings them and disarrangcs
their falling folds and silver threads.
just as it would a vail Of the most
gaEzy texture. There are many of
these bridal-vailfalIS in Hetch- Hctchy
valley and Tdolumne canon. There
is a greater display and variety of
water-shapes. hues. tints. motions
and expressions in TIE latter canon
than in Yosemite. One imaeines
that he has seen and heard all the
possible combinations into which wa
ter can enter. to awe and delight the
eye and charm the ear, after a visit
to Yosemite; but Mr.. Muir states
that the exploration Of the Tuolumne
canon has revealed innumcrable new
discoveries in this respect. even to
his eye, which has for years been
familiar with al the waterfalls CT the
Yosemite region.
1t is evident from these and other
recent discoveries in the Sierra Neva-
da that there is a wealth of wonders
there, outside of and in many re-
spects far surprising those regions on
which the eyes of tourists have here
tefore rested.

have the information that the fed

from a successful foray among the
Apache Indians of Arizona. 1t is
stated that some thirteen warriors

with all of their sick within them,
seems to accord with the ideas and

JUDGE Houk, did not quite reach

member, and we presume he will
make quite a crcditabIe presiding

the degeneracy of Tennessee politics
is likely to be presented than the
fact that men of such calibre as
Houk, are thrust forward for such po-
sitions, as the presidency of one of
the branches Of our state Legislature.
