,9lUNExPLORRD CoUNTRY.-One the most remarkable and interesting regions of the unexplored country of the west will be mapped out and studied during the summer by parties under the directicn5of Major J. W. Powell The topographic ical work will be conducted by Prof. A. H. Thompson, with suitable assistants, and tract about thirty by eighty miles, in the southeastern portion of Utah will be carefully explored. The party will rendezvous at Gunnison, Utah Territory, which is reached by rail- road and stage from Salt Lake City. The extreme surveys will extend to point nearly 50o, miles from the latter city. The territory. to be visited embracesthe San Ra- fael river, the Dirty Devil river, the Esca- lante and its northern tributaries, the Henry Mountains. the Sierra Ia Sol and the region known by the Indian designation of Ioom- bifa- sosIaisar. Gu. soeap. This means in Eng fish, Land of the Standing Rocks. Scat tered about oyer this region are monuments carved by the, elements; out of solid rock, varying from 100 or 200 to 1000 feet in height. The land is situated on both sides of the Colorado river, near the junction of Grand and Green. The entire territory to
 be explored by Prof. Thompson's partyis an arid desert Its general Typographical
 features became known to Prof. Thonnp- son by a preliminary reconnaissance which he made across portion of it few yesFs ago, during which he discovered the Esca-
 ante, river before unknown. The coun-
 try is traversed in every direction by can, ons from four or five hundred to four or five thousand feet deep. Sometimes 1t is necessary to travel along the brinks of these vast gorges several days before find ing place to cross, and sometimes two or
 three days are passed without meeting with q spring or pocket of water. No h. dians live in this country, but they know most of the places where water can be found, and Indian guides must therefore be employed. Malor Powell is now engaged in special study of the race of Indians which inhabits the regions between the Rocky and Sierra mountain ranges, and he has now nearly dozen of their dialects ready for publication and discussion. In the autumn Major Powell intends to visit the ancient province of Tusayan, or the Pueblo cities in northern Arizona for the purpose of continuing his study of the rem nant of wonderful race of which very It, tie is known.

The first two and the last lectrre was pretty well attended. He spoke in the main pret- ty, well. and showed some fine drawings executed by himself > he also examined some of the heads in the audience, telling some truths and making some grand this1' takes. He seemed to admire Sheffield most as seen by moonlight. The last eveh- ing prizes were given to the handsomest lady and the homeliest man.

AtMutlLAT1D STAMP.-Dur1ng tn0 IalteF days of the session of congress sn old gen. tleman visited Washington toarraheei some matters in relation to patent. One day, while visiting the capitol. he made the ac- duaintance of one of the employees, who showed him much attention, and devoted several hours to conducting him Tthfough that stupendous edifce and directing his a.- tention to ,alhIts various beauties and at- fractions. The old gentleman was com pletely captiyated by the young man and formed for him the highest attachment. Congress adjourned. and the young man returned to his home in Ohio; but, the old gentleman remained in the city . few days, and then visited Baltimore. While there he was taken i'll and Immediately )hasteIed back to Washington. Growing worse he resolved 10 make his will, and having none but very distant and unknown relatives, he determined to bestow hls wealth ,upoh tho young man for whom he had formed 90 great an attachment.i Deairing his pies. ence, and having his address, he wrpte g few lines. giving Information of his health and requesting visit from him without delay as ise hadra gratifying surpfise in |store for hin. sS EBf
 The letter was inclosed and stamped with a postage stamp, the only one he had, which was slightly torn in sepsrating 1t frcmsths pocket.books to RhicA 1t unfortu- nateE adj cred. An aequsintsnSe and daily visitor was employed to mail the let ter, who called the attention of the old gentleman to the rigid adherence of the postal department to its own rules in rela- tion to mutilated stamps; but he wopld not listen to the. suggestion, saying the stamp was genuine, had not been used, and was as good as ever, and, he,.would not waste it's value. The stamp was accord ingly used and the letter duly mailed. 59,' .,a,i Now comes the sequel. The letter was detained here for postage, solely on account of the ltrifiing mutilatlon referred to. and the party to whom 1t was addressed was, in about four days, notified of the detention,
 which notice was received six days from the date of the mailing of the letter with the torn stamp. The following day the young man left his home, andsdeeming the
 withheld letter of no particular canse- quence, without even carrying the post-of- flee notice or paying any attention to it Ten days subsequently he arrived in Wash ington, and then recurred to his memory the detained letter, and he wrote home for tue post-ofice notification On its arrival ! he procured the letter, and In much excite ment of mind hastened to the hotel of the old gentleman. Alas when heerrived he tlearned that bis intended benefactor had
 been dead four days, and that the old gen. tleman, not hearing from or receiving the wished for visit. had first felt hurt, then slighted, and finally indignant, and in tha, frame of mind had made will in favor of aipoor old lady in his native state, who had once done him, an act of kindness. This
 was told him by the lawyer who prepared
 the will, ,and who was the party who mailed the letter. The old gentleman's wealth
 amounted to $53, 900. - Wslmington (Del.)
