THE GRANDEST CANYON on THE con-
TINENT.

The most interesting feature of the summers
exp Grafton, in the estimation OF Prof. Gaunett,
is the great Canyon of the Gunnison, whose per-
pendiculGr walls rise in many places to height
OF 1000 feet, and for distance Of fifty miles will
average over 300 feet. The course of the river
seems to have been sculptured as If by Diff ing
rocks, and along its almost straight course the
white walls, separated only few yards, loom up
towards the clouds. 1t makes one almost dizzy
to think Of it. Standing at the top of the highest
wall and looking down nearly three-fourths OF a
mile, lies the bed of the stream, the waters
swift current dashing and fosming through the
narrow channels, but go far down that 1t can
scarcely be seen, and its roaring never heard
Here is something that rivals the wonders OF the
Yellowstone, and is grander than the Yosemite
The point where these great precipices begin
to loom up is abont hundred miles northwest
OF the Los Pnos Indian Agency. The 1adians,
as ar back - the time Of Fremont's explora-
tons, gave indications that such wonders existed
well down this slope, beyond the Uncompahgre
Mountains, but the wild region has been left al
most unexplored to this day, and it is left for
Gannetts party to give the people OF this coun-
try the first real knowledge Of the wonderful can
yon and its awful preclplces.
They have made drawings at some Of the
highest points, and taken III the full topography
of the region bu5 words will be weak to convey
an adequate idea Of the subiimity and awful
grandeur Of this Canyon OF the Gunlison.
It seems that the stream OF tourists thst found
their way over the range into Middle Park this
season for the first tlme to test the virtues OF
its famous hot sulphur springs, to angle in its
brooks, and indulge in the pleas res OF the
chase will another season find their way into
the Uncomuahgre Mountains and to this Won
derful region.
The greatest deptb Of the Grand Canyon of the
Yellowstone is but loco feet, and the average for
miles along the deepest part is not over 600 feet.
Clear Greek Canyon, in COLORADO, which Grace
have praised as rivaling the Yellowstone, is but
little over 1880 feet at its highest point. Prof
Gannett declares that there Is l.othing in Ameri
ca that equals the new wonders OF the Grand
and Gunnson. The white walls, contrasting
strongly with the others in the neighborhood, in
many places cut and SCARED into curious ard fan
tastic shapes, spires, towers and minarets, stand
ing out above, add to the startling picturesque
ness and awful grandeur OF the scene. Here and
there, along the lower sides of the canyon, may
be traced strips of coloring.
This is due to the mingling waters from sew
eral springs that line the river banks iron springs
producing the red colors, and sulphur springs the
yellow.
The river bed is shallow, and the water clear

woman's motions and posturss have often an
admirable grace. In raking, STOPPING, tossing

labors III the sun she keeps up a continuous good

The weather is very stormy; night be-

THAT PARADISE GHOST.

The following relative to the ghost
which Is now creating such a sensation in
Paradise is furnished us by gentleman
who vouches for its correctness: Last
Friday night while he and another gen.
tleman We're in the buildingin which the
ghost appears, with three lamps and
candle burning, they saw the apparition
advancing towards them, closely fol-
lowed by a large, fine looking, black
dog. 1t appeared to be a medium
sized man, apparently about fifty-fiye
years OF age, with grizzled beard, paid
countenance and sunken eyes. 1t came
up within few feet of where they
were sitting, sliding its feet on the floor
with a harsh noise as it advanced. Tt
stood motionless in front of them for
some time, aud though asked several
questions, refused to answer any. 1t
then turned round and retreated in the
direction whence it came, aud
suddenly disappeared. Our informant
says he does not believe in ghosts, and
though he vouches for the truth of what
he states regarding it, says he cannot
believe his own eyes, and thinks there
is some trick about it. He cannot ac-
count for the disappearance of the
apparition as every door in the build
ing in which it appeared was locked.
Investigation will certainly reveal the
fact that the ghost is no ghost at all, but
some person who is playing practical
jokes on the credulous. AS our infor-
mant is a matter of fact man, it is
little surprising that he did not grab
hold of his ghostship and ascertain
how much real flesh and blood there is
i'll apparitions.
