In Yosemite Valley.

BY JOAQUIN MILLER.
Sound sound! sound!
On, colossal wall, rs crowned
In one eternal thunder.
Sound! sound sound!
Oh, We oceans overhead.
While we walk, subducd in wonder,
In the ferns and grasses under
And beside the swift MERGED
Fret fret fret!
Oh, ye sounding banners. set
On the giant granite castles
In the clouds and in the snow!
Bat the foe he comes not yet
We are loyal, valiant yaSsel-,
And we kiss the trailing tassels
OF the banners far below.
Surge! surgei surgci
From the white Sierra's verge,
70 the very valley blossom.
Surge. surge! surge!
Yet the song bird builds home.
And the messy branches cross them,
And the tasseled tree-tOEs toss them,
In the clouds of falling foam.
Sweep! sweep! sweep!
On, ye heaven-born and deep,
In one dread, un6rOken chorus
We may wonder, or may weep
We may wait on God before us;
We may shout or lift hand
We may bow down and deplore us,
But may never understand.
Beat! beat beatI
We advance, but would retreat
From this restless, broken breast
OF the Garth in a CONFUSION.
We would rest, but dare not rest,
For a spirit of expulsion
From this paradise below
Is upon us, aud wcgo.

The Story of Il EIodOc Squaw.

/ The Story Of Il MOdOc Squaw.
The old Modoc squaw who was
captured in the rocks, and who was
recognized by John Fairchild as
Black Jim'S mother in-iaw, was in a
great scare. but finally, after finding
that nobody was going to hurt her,
and getting plenty of nrcka-muck,
she became communicative. and told
what she remembered of the fight.
She said on the first day one Of the
big balls, meaning shells. fell near
where the bucks were sitting in coun-
Gil, and that One>Eyed Jake, one of
the Shacknasty family. ran and
picked it up and took it over to John
Schonchin and another Indian. and
they FL three tried TO bite it. At
this interesting juncture the big ball
broke into pieces, and they were all
three killed
This story is probably true, as the
body of One Eyed Jake was found
with his hand blown Of and stomach
torn to pieces by an exploded she'll,
though Commissioner Meacham
claims to have given Schonchin his
fatal wound on the day of the mas
sacrc. The old squaw said that four
Others had been killed on the first day
by musket bolls. and she had been
hid in creyice ever since, and did
n7t know what nas done ancrward .

From Wealth to Want.

A gentleman who has been spend
ing few days at Baden, a watering
place about twenty miles from Vien-
ma, tells the following story: 1.-TWO
years ago l was in Europe, and met
an American lady in Paris, and after
wards in Rome, who resided in
Chicago and had come abroad for
vacation. She was q most charming
parsonage, we'll educated, brilliantly
accomplished, and perfectly correct
IN her department.. l returned to
America and heard nothing more Of
her. At Baden last week, as was
passing along the hall Of the hotel
and near the door Of one of o suite of
rooms belonging to Russian count
ess, saw q plainly dressed woman.
She looked around Us approached.
and then retreated hastily; the single
glance convinced me that it was my
acquaintance Of two years ago. That
evening was introduced to the Rus
sian countess, and asked her if she
knew Mrs. -, an American. On
her saying that she did know her, ]
asked if J. had not seen her in the
hotel. She told nie that the lady was
in Baden, and was her companion,
aud her history she said, isa strange
one. She was in Europe two years
ago, with an abundance of money,
and supposed herself wealthy. Her
husband was in business in Chicago,
aud at the time of the great fire there
he was burned to death and all their
property was swept away. The
morning after the fire she was
widow with no money except wha,
she possessed at the time. 1 hao
known her for some time, and when
heard of her misfortunes l asked bel
to travel with me and be my compan
ion. She consented, and is now will
me. She dresses plainly as you saw
her, and bears her misfortune verl
; patiently. She declines to 60 init
society any more, and devote' her
(self entirely to me. She is . YER
worthy lady, aud shall always be
i. friend her."
