A Rocky Mountain Glacier.
DISCOVERY BY PROFESSOR PUMPELLY's PART

DISCOVERY BY PROFESSOR PUMPELLY'S PARTY.
From the Helena (MontiDal independently
To Professor Candy, a member Of Pun
pely'S Northern TrTnScontinental Survey
party, we are indebted for the following
account Of the discovery OF glacier by
the party. and description Of the country
around the Upper Marias Pass, between
the headwaters Of the Flathead river, west
of the Rocky Mountain range. and Cut
Bank creek. east of the same. The local
ity is about $50 miles north OF Missoula.
Professor Candy says that on the LIST Of
August the party, after having left the Up
per Flathead river about eighty miles above
the lake., entered the gorge that leads up
the mountain to the Pass. This is walled
in by steep mountains, which are crowned
by rugged precipices thousands OF feet in
height, sometimes terminating in knife-like
edges, and sometimes running up into
sharp, rugged cones, which make the sky
lines of the mountains most varied and pic
turesque.
At the summit OF the Pass three main
amphitheatres come together. They are
nearly horseshoe in shape. From the Pass
there are in full view ten or twelve high
peaks, often running up into regular sharp
rocky cones.
Some ten or fifteen miles away. looking
to the westward, a great mass OF snow
covered mountains were in view, and be-
low these SUBMITS was seen true glacier,
having Il frontage OF at least mile, and in
some places a face estimated at 800 feet in
height. Frem underneath this glacier
flows stream OF milky-colored glacier
water.
Professor Pompelly, with the Indian
guide, penetrated the amphitheatre in which
this glacier lies, and counted twenty-five
cascades over five hundred feet in height,
besides seeing many smaller ones. The
sides of the mountains which surround
this amphitheatre are covered with deep
bodies OF snow, which are the sources OF
the many streams flowing into the valleys
below.
There was but little snow on the Pass,
and with care il was not difficult TO cross.
In descending the eastern side OF the
mountains the gorge presents some re-
markably lofty and shIpendous precipices.
Those gentlemen Of the party who had
visited the Yosemite Valley considered the
scenery OF Marias Pass TO be OF more va
ried character and grander in every re-
spect.
The summit of the Pass was found TO be
1900 feet above the sca-leyel. We shall
wait with much interest for more tho
rough and complete survey OF this new
and wonderful mountain district OF Mon
tana.

London I'm Henry Wills Time.
lThe National Reylew.I


During the reign OF Henry VIII. the
splendor of the civic shows rose to IT. ut
most height, and the proiuslon OF gold and
silver displayed, the costly silks, en-
broidered tapestries, and gorgeous dresses
caused the pageant to reach climax OF
magniticence which is almost incredible.
ID must not be imagined, however, that All
this parade signitied universal prosperity
throughout London, and that the citizens
contributed equally 10 its maintenance. III
was far otherwise. The wealth OF the me-
tropolis was at that time engrossed by COM
paratiyelv few individuals. and these spec
tacles were the only opportunities which
the rich and powerful possessed for show
ING forth their opulence, while they also
afforded the only amusements available to
lbe common people. The manner OF living
among the generality OF citizens was at that
time very miserable. According TO An an
cient map of the period the whole OF the
metropoIis was then confined within the
city walls. and the suburbs were almost
wholly void of buildings. A few houses
s,ood in Smithtield, and few more led 10
the Strand; but the fields came close up TO
tbe wall along almost the whole OF its north
ern and eastern circumference. Charing
Cross was merely connected with the city
Inv an irregular row Of houses, and the
village OF ST. Giles lay isolated in the open
country. Inside the wall were no less
than 100. 900 constant residents; for the
merchants had then no country villas, but
dwell night and day upon their business
nremises. The houses were small and
narrow. and the floors, says Erasmus,
..were commonly Of clay, strewed with
PUSHES. under which lay unmolested an
ancient collection OF beer, grease, frag-
ments. bones, and everything that Is
nasty, The same author tells Us thai
the crowded manner OF building and
the almost total exclusion OF light and
air from the dwellings caused the ire
