Gen. VIM. w. BelkDap is of good

Belkuap, a brave aud distinguished
officer of the war of 1912 and of the
war with Mexico. The elder Belknap
distinguished himself in the attack on
Fort Erie in 1914. and so eminent were
his services that after the war with
England he was retained in the regu-
lar army. lie was so exact in habit
that he was appointed one of the pro-
fessors at West Point At Resaca de

At the battle of Bunea Vista he served
| on Gen. Taylor's staff The citizens

bravery, presented him with sword.
His portrait now adorns the old head
quarters at Newburg. He became a
brigadier general. In 1854 Gen. W.
q. Belknap, while proceeding to his
| post III Texas, died of fever. One of
the evidences of the sense of respect i'll
which he was held is that he once pre-
sided over court martial which in

He was warm friend of Gen. Worth,

Pinchback Out.

The debate was lengthy and was par
ticipated in by Senator'S Logan, Harvey
and Morton, who favored the admis-
sion of Pinchback, against Paddock,
Morrill,, of Vermont, and Edmunds,
who opposed it. The question then
being on the amendment of Edmunds
to insert the word mot" before the
word "admitted," so that the resolu-
ton should read that Pinchback be
not admitted as Senator from the
State of Louisiana for the term of six
years, beginning on the fourth of
March, 1874, was agreed TO. Yeas 80,
nays 20. The question then being on
the resolution as amended, it was
agreed to by the following vote: Yeas
80, nays 90. Willie the vote was being
taken, Pinchback was Oh the floor OF
the Senate and stood near the entrance
to one of tho clerks rooms. As roll
call proceeded he manifested some
nervousness, and soon after the vote
was announced left the Chamber. The
Senate then. on motion of Senator
Hitchcock, took up the bill to enable
the people of New Mexico to form a
constitution aud State government,
and for the admission of said State in
to the Union, SO that it would come
up as unfinished business tomorrow
after the executive session.

A Strange Battle.

The Cha nt's Causeway few days ago
was the scene of a combat of the most ex.
traordinary nature. Some carbon had
been deposited on the rocks near the sea,
and fox, evidently with the intention of
making meal off one or two ravens,
which had been attracted 10 the spot by
the putrid meat, curled himself up appar.
emily asleep, close to the carrion. The
ravens, however, regarded him with sus.
picion for some time, and finding that
REWARD was not likely to sheer off, and
probably unable longer to Withstand the
effects of what to them was grateful and
seductive aroma, they, by their threaten
ing attitudes, left little doubt in the
minds of the numerous spectators that
they intended to bring matters to an issue.
Two ravens eventually advanced, and one
of them took his stand at Reynard's head
and the other at his tail. The latter led
the attack by assaulting Reynard's brush,
the other Immediately followed suit by a
powerful tap on the head. ReyIard
feigned indifference to these polite atten-
lions during a few rounds, trusting no
doubt that his prosecutors would become
emboldened and indiscreet, and at the
same time, place themselves within his
reach. 1ndiscretion however, is not
prominent characteristic of the corous
family, and, after few more applications
alternately on the head and tail, the posi-
ton became uncomfortable, and the fox
began to show fight; but the ravens fol-
lowed up the assault, first swapping at
one and then the other. 1t is stated that
the warfare was carried on for more than
two hours in this way, and, on the whole,
the balance was against the fox, which
was much dragged and weakened, but be.
came more reckless as the fight waxed hot
ter. AT this juncture they had worked or
fought up to the edge of tine rock on
which the carbon had been deposited.
The raven ut the enemy's tail again
tickled him, and after doing so the one at
the head gave him fearful pinch, upon
which the fox turned upon him in great
fury. The one at the tail again performed,
and, during the passage of the fox after
the other raven, gave him sound out
ward thud, accelerating his speed so much
that he lost his balance and tumbled head
long into the water, amid the plaudits of
the spectators and the exulting croaks of
the ravens.-Derry(I rc.andj STANDARD.

The Salt Mountains II Southern Ne.
n ~ vada.

Beginning six miles up the VIRGIN
River, mountains of salt extend for Thirty
or more miles up the Virgin and Muddy
Rivers, in Nevada. There are openings
now made from six to twenty miles IN
the Virgin River at different places. From
six to twelve miles up these openings un-
cover species of dark, gray salt, ninety
two per centum pure, presenting to the
casual observer the appearance of COM
mon coarse gray granite. These openings
are all on the east side of the Virgin
River, from one-fourth to one-half mile
from its banks. At point twenty miles
up the river, and on its western side, is a
mountain Of pure white crystallized salt.
white as the driven snow, and TRANSPARENT
almost as glass. It is at once pleas
ing and interesting spectacle to see the
great masses of crystalline salt as thrown
out by three or four-foot blast. These
pure and beautiful blocks resemble some
what blocks Of the purest ice when pre-
pared for the ice-hOuse. On placing a
mass six inches thick over q column of
the Chronicle the fine print could be read
easily. The formation of the salt deposit
is no doubt very ancient, dating back in
years beyond computation. Long since
the deposit was made the great upheavals
and earthquake era have occurred, which
have changed the whole appearance of
the country for great distances around.
These salt bluffs or mountains can be
identified for long distance by the pecul-
lar color Of the surface, which is of red
dish or orange color. Underneath this
formation, as we'll as in it, is peculiar
kind of micaceous sedmentary granite.
Another very interesting natural curios-
ity visited and examined here is natural
salt we'll, mile northwest of the ferry. 1t
is on mesa, which extends up and
down the river on its northern bank.
This mesa is drift formation formed of
small pebbles and powders mixed with
earthly matter. The we'll is large circu-
lar opening in the mesa, some 800 feet in
circumference, with abrupt descent to the
surface of the we'll, which is fifty feet be-
low the surface. The water is exceeding.
ly salt, far more so than any salt spring,
and has been sounded to a depth of 100
feet. 1t is splendid natural salt bath, in
which the bathcr floats almost rs buoy
artly as a cork upon pool of water
