The Canyon Of the Columbia River.

Ihe canyon or the Columbia is IN some
respects one Of the grandest upon the con-
tinent. Frem Cape Horn to some twenty
miles or more above Celllio, at the head of
the Dalles, distance Of sixty or seventy
miles, the great river finds its way to the
ocean through gorge, the walls Of which
are from 500 to 1000 feet high. Even cur
sorry inspection will convince q practised
eye that for the entire height and most of
the distance it is composed of nearly per.
pendicular basaltic rocks. No one series of
columns, where present, reaches from the
base to the top of the mountain; but at the
foot of the cascades, on the south side of
the river. their developement is truely
wonderful. Suppose before you there is
row Of them FIVE hundred feet high and
twice as long on the face Of the mountain.
At either end of that thousand feet another
row with their bases on line with the top
of the first shoots up another i've hundred
feet, and SO on from the base to the top,
one row of columns above another, will
convince the beholder that the entire noun
tain is composed Of basalt. From the time
of the Cesars to the present all the world
has been wondering at or gazing with ad-
miration at the Giants Causeway on the
coast Of Ireland. It, too, is composed of
basaltic columns, and they are actually
three hundred feet high. Thus America
furnishes to Great Britain ratio In basalt
Of $500 n 800.

A Dream that Came True.
From the Little Rock Democrat.

About seven or eight o'clock yesterday
morning Mr.. HUT, who is engaged in bus
mess adjoining Wolf & Bros. wholesale
dry good store, stepped up to Mr.. Wolfe
and said: "Ike, had singular dream last
night" What was it?" "That Joe was
killed."
"I hope not" said Ike, starting percep-
tibly. Nothing more was said about the
dream, brt all day Ike Wolfe was nervous
and abstracted. His brother and family
he knew were in Savannah, Ca, or on the
coast near that place, and he also knew o
hurricane had visited the coast. About
five o'clock o Western Union telegraph
messenger placed telegram in his hand.
His face paled and his hand trembled so
that he could scarcely open it. Iknow what
it is he cried. At last he had it open. The
words we're: George, the baby and Joe
crushed to death by o storm.

for the autumn months among the dry goods
