The Wing says, in speaking of the visit CT the
legislative committee agriculture, TO the state
College at Orono, that the senators and Icprcscn-
tatives who composed the party at this time plain
" indicated general desire not only to become
thoroughly cognizant of the operations and the
methods employed, but also to acquire by careful
inquiry and inspection such definite knowledge OF
the institution as would enable them to vote in
telgently in the matter of much-needed appro-
priations. The company were received by lAesi-
dent Allen and the faculty, and made formal IN
specton of the college and farm buildings. At
noon the party partook OF substantial dlnner
and in the afternoon meeting was heid IN the
college chapel, over which Hon. Fred Atwood
chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, PIC
sided, and an address was made by President
Allen of the college, presenting the general de-
sign and needs of the college. lie SAID that thus
far, among the nineteen graduates, there have
been no lawyers, doctors or ministers. The clri-
culum is not designed to tit men for the profess
sions but to prepare the students for the general
business of life, for some industrial pursuit. The
graduates have been mainly in the elective course,
several of whom are now farmers, while others are
temporarily engaged in teaching. In response to
a courteous invitation, at o'clock the party left
the college and proceeded to the elegant resi-
dence of Hon. Eben Webster, member Of the
legislature, where they were received and enter
tained in the most hospitable manner by Col. and
Mrs. Webster and family. A number of promi-
nent citizens Of Orono were present, and atter a
short time passed in social intercourse, bount-
ful collation. was served and a very pleasant sea-
SON enjoyed. The party returned to Augusta
Friday evening The single expression Of opinion
by the entire party was one Of qualification with
what they had seen and learned of the State Col
lege of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts; with
the charming finale Of their duties in the Iccep'
tion at the residence of Col. and Mrs. Webster +;
with the manner in which Mr.. Shaw had antici-
pated and provided for their wants at the Bangor
House; and with the efficient manner in which
the trip was managed from first to last, under the
direction of Senator Atwood, chairman Of the
committee.

recited from memory a superbly written descrip-
ton Of her Journey from San Francisco TO the val
| ley, and through the valley. From San Francisco
it l50 miles to the east and south, as the swal-
low flies, 250 acccI ding to tie route she followed
This would bring them to the heart Of the Serras.
In the last seventy miles they would have gone up
| 1000 feet then in four miles they must 60 down
half that distance to reach the bottom Of the Yo-
semitic Valley. The journey in the valley was by
| way of the CalayeIas grove Of giant trees. the
view Of which alone fully repaid her for all her
journeys tolls. On her journey she scnsbly dis
| cardcd long skirts, donntd mems boots, short
chothcs and Turkish trousers, and so was able to
go everywhere. All day on one Saturday they
went travelling from the railway station up wild
slopes, bordcrod with great trees and runs oi
mining towns, and at dark passed between those
two giant trees that form the entrance TO the
grove. But it in the sunshine of the still Sab
bath morning that the glory Of these magnificent
monarcbs of tree life was revealed to her in its
fulncss, Of them without knot gnall ris-
ing like columns 300 feet in height crowned with
magninent mass of foliage.
The party left the grove on Monday morning
and rode fifteen lie to breakfast. Therefore all
day they were zig tagging up and down mountain
slopes, Till four O'Clock brought them to lamar
ack Flat. the end Of the stage route. Sixteen mules
and horses took them the next morning into the
Yosemite Valley. The path from the table lands
down into the valley Is SO steep that 1t was mpos-
siblc to ride, except as men do and the neck of the
not cling to ii. The path is crooked and zg
zags so sharply that the last rider Of the train
could often almost touch the leader with her whip.
1t was fortunate for her that she was not sitting
in the absurd mode in which women usually sit on
a saddle, eramped up, sidewisc, but rode free and
safe, with feet firmly braced in her stIIurs, and
her horse completely at her command
Then followed in glowing eloque Mt word-, Mrs.
Woolson's description Of that magnificent valley
of the lofty FL Captain, the Great Chief ofue Val
ley.
The lecturer gave a superb description Of the as
cent Of the party along narrow ledge of rock, on
the face Of the precpiee, TO giant summit oppo-
site, where the broad cxpanse of table land was
spread before them, and the valley was far be-
meath them, the table land from which, extending
miles TO the north and the south, the mighty
peaks CT the Sierra NevGda3 everywhere,
snow covered and silent, looking like glitteIng
pillows Of a white and frozen sea. The dosclip-
ton of the valley in wintet-closed seven months
in the year-was also fine, and when the lecturer
ended with her departure from these glorious tenn
pies Of the Lord, in the heart Of the mountain
lands, warm applause from her hearers cyihccd
their appreciation Of the lecture.
