For two or three miles above the
ShOshone Falls the river fl Ows
through immense chasms, with walls
on either side hundreds of feet high.
The river is full of rapids for miles,
the descent being 40 great. At the
upper Shoshone Falls, known as Twin
or Little Falls, the river is divided by
an island, and the two streams rush
over the precipice and fall into pool
175 feet below. AS viewed from the
bluff, hundreds of feet above, the
sight is grand, and from below there
Is still more to admire and awe the
visitor. Some four or five miles down
the river and we come to the great
falls, where the entire river descends
in sheet 21O feet. We remember
around Niagara Falls, the rapids and
other places of interest for several
days once, and with all that there IL
to admire and excite wonder, there is
If not more to interest the visitor to
this portion of Snake river, and should
this place be connected by railway
with the outside world this will be-
come a great resort for travellers.
Some thirty or forty miles further
down stream Is Solomon Falls, eX-
tending quite a distance. The great
est of these falls is only twenty feet,
but the forms and great number of the
falls and cascades make 1t very beau
tiful. But short distance above the
falls Is the most remarkable sight we
have ever seen. In the high bluffs
along the river there issue numerous
great springs, the waters of which fall
over the rocks and are lashed to sill
very streams and spray in their de-
scent. The first of these pOurs over a
cliff in semi-circular form and falls
over 2O0 feet. AS seen from the Op-
pOsite side of the river 1t is very beau
tiful. Further down the river is a
much grander sight. A stream of
water, equal to that of small river,
pours out of the bank and falls over
the rocks in silvery streams Of almost
every conceivable shape and form,
while the spaces between are lined
with green moss and shrubs, so that
it presents the appearance of ali i'm
mense grotto. These falls cover a
space of over 100 feet in width. Fur
ther down the stream for one mile
other similar streams issue, and each
possesses its own features of beauty.
Where this vast body of water comes
from Is a question that will probably
never be solved. Lost river enters
Snake river valley at point up stream
over 100 miles distant, and there sinks
out of sight in the lava. other
streams along the western and north
ern boundaries of this vast lava plain,
for distance of nearly 200 miles,
come in and sink. These united
streams would probably furnish as
much water as pOurs out of these
springs, but no single one of these
streams would supply any Of the
larger springs, SO II is only speculation
to assume that the source of supply
comes from any particular stream.-

At recent masquerade ball in

order for unmasking was given, and
imagine the surprise and chagrin OF
those who had been so assiduOus in
their attentions when it was discov-
cred that the black mask hid still
blacker face, a negress having gained
adm'>sion. When invited to retire,
she calmly informed the managers
that somewhere in her capacious shoe
was secreted knife, which she would
use to such effect that their friends
would think they had been "doin'

A wood dealer writes to o Detroit
paper AS follows: / have sold wood
for over forty years in Michigan; and
find that when split wood Is corded
bark up, the bark remains on until 1
measure the wood, and all that is
piled bark down loses the bark aud it
measures nothing; besides there is
more heat in the bark than in the sap
of the log. The most and best ashes
are also in the bark. / have on my
place some maple wood that was chop
ped nine years ago and corded bark
up, and the bark would hold on il l
were to draw the woodto Saginaw,
a distance of eighteen miles. Where
the bark il piled down, the water runs
in around the wood and makes it
doty, wet and heavy. Railroad COM
panies would save thousands of dol
lars by piIing their wood bark up.

1t was stated not long since that
James Rothschild, the younger, had
lost 10000, 000 francs, nearly Sl6,000,-
QUO. on the Paris bourse, and had died
broken hearted. A Paris correspond
ent OF New York paper gives this
explanations: A rich legitimist started
a bank called "LUnion Generate" /"
The Comte de Chambord took con-
siderable number of shares, and is
said to have gained on them profit
Of 5,OOO. 900 francs. "L'Union Gener-
ale" went up rapidly. Certain Jew
ish capitalists had confidence in it,
and tried to buy its stock. But they
soon discovered that one Of the objects
0f the directory WAS to make ''dea"
at their expense; so they determined
to "bear" the enterprise and ruin it.
But James Rothschild, who had pre-
vi0usly bulled the stock, made tre-
mendous losses. Still, he loyalty kept
silence, and would have been censured
for treason by every member Of the
great RothschiId family hal he not.
Here IL an incident which illustrates
the riotously wild speculation that

A novel of Cape Cod life was read in

A novel of Cape Cod life was read in
manuscript by Williams & Co.. of
Boston publishers, and approved.
They accordingly published it, and
the first edition of 200 copies was so
quickly sold that second was hur-
ried out. Then came seven libel suits
for All aggregate of thirty thousand
dollars. The novelist had not only
introduced real persons in most un-
complimentary fashion, but had given
their full names.

Tho Armv of the Cumberland.

Gen. Rosecrans furnishes for publt-
cation the following card:
Mr.. Blaine, in his funeral oration
before the two houses, said: "When
Gen. Garfield assumed his new duties
he found various troubles already well
developed and seriously affecting the
value and efficiency of the Army OF
the Cumberland" / was the COM
manding general of that army. Ger.
Garfield was my chief'of'staff. Hld
this been a fact, l certainly should
have known it. Gen. Garfield was
bound to tell me of it. Justice to the
truth of history and to the Army OF
the Cumberland requires that l should
declare | never heard of such a state
of things until the statement came
from the lips Of the orator. The dis
tiHguished gentleman has been wholly
nisjnformed, and the statement above
quoted has no foundation in fact. On
the contrary, it was the general sent,-
ment and constant boast of the officers
and men of that army that the Army
of the Cumberland was singularly
united and free from dissenslons, and,
therefore, no ones genius was required
To heal these dissensions. / appeal 10
Ibem to bear witness to this fact.
A few sentences further on Mr..
Blaine says: "fIis military duties
closed on the memorable field of Chick
amattgs-=a field which, however dlsas-
tons TO the union arms, gave to him
tbe occasion of winning imperishable
laurels He might with justice have
added, as Garfield would have added: :

BIRDS AND SEEDS.

The agency of birds in distributing seeds has
long been well known. Mr.. Robert l.. G.
Stcarns describes In the May number of The
1mericdR Naturalist the singular habit of the
California woodpecker (Melanerpes formi-
civorous) in storing acOrns in the bark Of living
trees. In one specimen of the yellow or heavy
wooded pine lPinus ponderosa) there were
found to be upward OF forty thousand acorn
holes. The acorns are supposed to be stored in
these holes for the sake OF the larvae which
they contain. Jays have also been noticed to
take thistle seeds ard acorns and plant or
rather bury them in the ground. 1t is not sup
posed that the Jays deposit these seeds with any
idea of obtaining food from subsequent crops,
but that they simply bury them for future
need a. a dog bures IA bone. Seeds thus buried
are of course often forgotten, and in this way
bearing trees spring mp where otherwise
thew could not be expected to flourish.
