The Yosemite Valley.

The public lands in that part OF Cali
fornia known as the Yosemite Valley
have been Withdrawn from the market
by the United States Government and
presented to the State OF California, with
the stipulation that its vast area should
foreva- lie reserved and guarded as Ma
tional Pax In carrying out this agree
mant therefore, the clearings lave been
extended, mountain roads and bride

made more easy and comfortable, as the
increasing crowds Of visitors from al
parts OF the world seek to view thase
grand and wonderful combinations OF
mouptain. river and cataract scenery.
Although these Yosemite wonders as
tonish all who first behold them. yet the
scenes become more impressive as the
stay Is prolonged. Unlike the merely
beautiful. which soon satisfies the eye,
the mind here drinks deeper and
deeper; so that 1t requires days and
months for the mind to take III and APP
preciate such scenes, even when he eye
rests upon them-it becomes hopeless
task to accomplish this en1 By written
description.
Such seems to have been the feelings
experienced BY the distinguished traveller
and author, Charles No,dhof, who
writes: I had rad everything that |
could lay my hands upon. yet when /
came to see the valley, ii was as though
had never read q line concerning It Al
[ had read passed out of my mind In the
presence of those stupendous rocks; all

the grand white Scared granite face of

sides 3, 800 fee. above the level along
which you ride It is not mere rock or
summit but vast wall, nearly two miles
broad, which seems to dominate the val
ley as you ride on either trail. and whose
grandeur grows upon you with every
step your horse takes.
The Yosemite Valley is about seven
miles long and averaging perhaps one
mile wide, and sunk from three quarters
to one mile below the surrounding coun
try. It is irregular in it's outlines, taking
the direction OF the five branches of the
MERGED River, which put into it.

we readily appreciate their magnitude.

Referring TO the picture we find, first
on the left, FL Captain stands with its
precipitous walls planted in most de
hghtful spot, with its top hidden in q
cloud. Next of importance, on the left,
is North Dome, with its polished, round

Veil Fall, leaping $50 feet from among
Cathedral Rocks. This fall is veil like

appearance of an enormous lace-like

HOW THEY WE'RE SHOT.
Description by an eyewitness OF tne
Massacre OF the VErginius f,assen-
gers.

From the New York Herald, Dec, 5.
The New Foundland brig Azalea ar
rived at this port yesterday from Santi-
ago de Cuba. A reporter, learning that
the Azalea was at Santiago during the
Virginius massacre, visited the vessel to
obtain some further particulars as to
that great tragedy. Capt. Prior was
ashore when the reporter reached the
vessel, but the mate, George Coysh, was
aboard, and in reply to a question, replied
that he had, with several others of the
ships company, witnessed the execution
of Capt. Fry and the36 members of his
crew. Upon request, Dir. Coysh gave
the following particulars
eve arrived at Santiago on the 9Th of
November, the day after the first four
Ryan and others were shot. There is
but one wharf at Santiago, and it is a
small port, and all the vessels unloaded
there. Our vessel was lying alongside
the pier taking out cargo on the morning
OF the 7th, when the boats OF the lorna
do, which was lying IN the harbor, began
to come ashore, landing prisoners in
small detachments of five or six at the
time As each boat landed her men they
were all collected together on the wharf
to wait until the last of them arrived,
and they were guarded by marines and
men-of-war sailors from the Spanish ship,
As we were working close by where they
were standing, we got talking to some
of them, but we could only talk to them
now and then. When the Spanish off
GERS saw US talking to the prisoners they
made us stand back ; but whenever they
turned their backs we went on talking to
the poor fellows. AS soon as they were
all landed the marines formed a guard
around them and marched them up to
the prison. They were taken inside and
locked up"
..Did they know at the time what was
to be done with them ?" aged the re-
porter.
'ENot one of them, replied the mate.
''They thought they was going to be let
go home. Why, good many of them
brought their bundles of clothes and
''small traps" with them, thinking they'd
be allowed to leave and get out of the
country. We heard from Spaniards who
were working on the dock, about o clock,
that they were to be shot at 4, and a
little after 4 o'clock, shure enough, they
were brought out and shot. l don't re-
member whether they had handouts on
or not, but their arms were tied behind
them Several of US knocked off work
