The Crater Of Mount Tacoma.

Mount Rainier, otherwise known as
Mount Tacoma, in Washington Terri
tory, has been assembled but twice-the
first time six years ago by Hazard Ste
vens and j. II. Van Trump, and the Sec
ond time only last week by Messrs.
Longmire, Van Trump, Bayley and
Ewing. They camped over night in the
crater, amid fleecy clouds of smoke and
steam. The rocks in the crater were
so hot that they could not be touched
without burning their hands. OF all
the peaks in the Northwest, Mount Ia
coma is considered the most difficult of
ascent. A Washington Territory cor
respondent, in recent letter to the
San Francisco Chronicle, speaking on
this point, says: Two persons claim
to have scaled the mountain to the very
summit. Notwithstanding their asser-
tons, the story is very generally dis
credited. 1t is thought no human foot
has ever pressed those lofty regions Of
everlasting Arctic rigor. The ascent is
considered beyond the power Of human
achievement. Indians who have lived
a great many years near the peak. anG
who ought to be personally conversant
with the difficulties and perils Of the
ascent, affirm that it is impossible for
any one to reach the top. The distance
is SO long, the obstacles so great, and
the cold so intense, Chat no person,
however Injured to toll, hardship and
exposure. could accomplish the trip
and return in one day. Il Hrgssia City

Several days ago, during the meeting

there was in attendance one man who
especially attracted attention. His name
Colonel Glint--is familiar to many
people, particularly SO to cx-Confed-
crate soldiers. When the war came Mr..
Clint, having been recently ordained
minister Of the Gospel, went with the
army as Chaplain. He preached and
prayed with great ardor, keeping up
every possible phase Of religious inten-
ton until the opening Of the first battle.
He was ordered to the rear, where he
stood, occasionally sending up 4 petit

Mr.. Clint was promoted to the highest
Office in the regiment. He did not
preach any more during the war, but
he continued to sing little, and would
occasionally pray when he did not have
any other duty Of more military import
auce to perform. The first thing he
did after returning home from the war
was to institute i revival, which an old

DIR. Clinton Gushing recently lectured at
San Francisco on the education of women
Among other things he said that the schools
Of the country are to be blamed for the ill
health of many women. Children should
not be restrained; their animal spirits should
have full vent. Girls are naturally more
studious than boys; they attend more closely
to their books. A girl will do more to please
teacher or parent than boy. Up to the
age of twelve boys and girls are remarkably
alike. About that time there is a change.
The nervous organization of the girl then
begins to assert itself. Nothing should be
done to check its Development From a.
bout the age of ten or twelve, for the next
six or seven years the change from girlhood
to womanhood occurs In this period school
books and cares should not crush the health
of the girl She should not be allowed to
attend school more than six months in the
year. In the other six months she should
have plenty of sunshine and outdoor life,
and be instructed in the important myste-
ries of bread-making and housekeeping. The
struggles of the systems Of examination and
promotion should be discountenanced.
