THE RIVER.

The steamer Chambers is about one dsy
behind expectations. She passed Fort
Thompson this morning, coming down.
Ponca Journal: On Sunday last gentle
man residing about two miles above the tex
as landing, on the Dakota side, found amid
the vast amount of flood.wood which is
coming down the river during the present
high stage of water, lodged upon the shore
an Indian canoe. which had floated long
distance, and by the marks familiar to front
iersmen, it was reconizcd as canoe of the
Black feet tribe, of Montana. 1t is almost
incredible that canoe would travel such an
immense distance. In the canoe were two
blankets, a bow, several arrows and an Ind
ian belt to which were attached three scalps.

Natural wonder in Nevada.

Among the many curiosities of this state
there IS, perhaps, none more singular than
what is called the Devils Punch bowl,
found to the southwark of here, some eighty
odd miles. 1t is IN a valley, like many to
be found on the eastern slope of the SlerraS,
surrounded by the towering heights OF this
magnificent range, the garner OF nation
wealth.
The approach to the Devils Punch-bowl
is up an elevation, or rounded hal, Of ap-
pareatly ignecus formation. The orliice ot
the bowl Is near the apex of the hill, the
rock of which projects over the sides of the
bowl. Ga locking into the vessel, at first,
the water has a dark green appearance, but,
on looking while longer, 1t becomes trans
parent, and throwing = stone INTO 1t, you can
see 1t sink into The water 10 unknown depths.
One remarkable feature OF the water Is It's
immense heat, being hot, suiphUrons punch
at all times It's heat has been ties ed III
many ways One was putting snake INTO
il, which Was cooked II al. Instant Another
experiment occurred not ioas SINCE party
OF piute Indians Were on visit TO TINS bowl,
when one of the bucks approached 50 near
the edge that 4 portion oI the rock gave
wav, and he was precipItated to the cdidfon
below. when he struck the water he WAS
seen To stretch out almost instantly, and be
can to sink. The next day, however, las
scalp. boiled from his head, came out at =
warm sl,7ing some 500 yards from the base
of the bowl, followed by other portions Of
the body. boiled loose and cooked done.
These springs, OF which there are many, at
a shor: distance from the bowl, are not as
hot rs the water Ill the bowl, as Is evidenced
by ducks alightiug IN them III very cold
weather. AMI as WAS demonstrated by
friend of nine gong INTO one, and almost
not Getting out again, by reason OF the TACT
that wien he got into the pool lie found 4
! thin crust OF sod formed the rin OF the pool,
! the water extending indefinitely beneath,
! and when he wouid catch hold OF 1t, to haul
/ himself up, it would break and let ham down
acain. Finally, by getting some ropes to
| bi,n. he was pulled ont, satisfied with expe-
riiments in strange place. The surface OF
tine crourd gives with your weight, As You
anproach any of these springs In the valley
arouud this hot punch bowl, but the sod Is
| such that it prevents yon from gong through,
but the sensation III going over gwen sur
face. over bottomless volcanic pool, IS rot
OF the pleasaatest.
Another appropriateness about this vicln-
are is the great quantity OF snakes that con,
sfantiy dwell here. 1t seems to be the
headquarters of continental snakedom. They
are here in all varieties, of all characters
and sizes. "Seek ard Joe's" lake Of snakes
IN "Wild Western Scenes, is nothing com,
