fareueu atmosphere Allows the sun rays
to strike SO directly as to blister and burn
the face more in one hour than it would
IN days exposure in the lower part OF
the Mississippi Valley. But tie noun
tain cir sharpens the appetite to an extent
beyond means of qualification. Noun
tain trout are plentiful, but every one in
the Park is so busy in Offering his serv
ices as guide, that the trout are allowed
to remain undisturbed in their native
brooks.
The Park is filled with tourists. We
meet many on their return and varied
are the opinions expressed as to the
grandeur of the sights which induced
Uncle Sam to set this place aside as a
perpetual resort" etc. As write an
Albanian who is in company with Judge
Jones of Connecticut, the lawyer who
defended the Malley brothers, is bitterly
denouncing the Park as fraud. He is
on his way home, and he swears in true
southern style that he'll never vote again.
A days trip exhausts the enthusiasm of
most. The mosquitoes are numerous
and active, the journeys to camping
places long and wearisome. and the won
derful sights infrequent unless to one
having taste for science. The geologic
formations are not particularly attractive;
the mountains pail upon the taste and
even the geysers lose the charm Of novel
ty. have not yet seen the finest but |
am filed with admiration of what l have
seen. l said one day made many home
sick, but the wonderful energy and per-
severance of some people tenderly natur-
ed, excite admiration. l rode with
st. Louis gentleman the first day. To-
day L was disguised with the saddle and
pushed on sick and sore but with strong
heart and a spirit as buoyant as Mark
Tapley's. We overlook lady whose
horse became unmanageable because of
the annoyance of flies. 1 exchanged with
her and l am cripple tonight. The
st. Louis man set out for camp eleven
miles further on. The cowboys insist he
was born for the west. A clergyman
from Brooklyn, who had ridden the first
day on wagon, thought he'd try pony.
The pony showed disposition to ''buck."
This satisfied the driver and he shouted
"catch him." He dismounted with more
haste than dignity.
Just inside the northern limit of the
Park is large hotel near the Mammoth
Hot Springs, the first of the boiling
springs. In this place We're at one time
many geysers but they have now sub
sided into boiling springs. But they
reared terrace upon terrace, mountains
of magnetism limestone, sulphur and
silicious rock. The ascent is Iaborious,
but reveals wonders. The water holds
SO many and SO much mineral ingredi-
ents In solution that anything placed in
1t becomes coated in three days with
silicious deposit. A long and tiresome
ride brings you to the Norris Geyser Ba-
SID. There is nothing of note on the
way, because by this time you are wear
led Of mountains. The clouds of steam
as you approach the basin, gives the
spur to your expectation and you apply
the same instrument to the animal you
bestride. The hollow sound which the
tramp of the horses hoof gives out, shows
the volcanic nature of the ground over
which you travel. The scene presented
batfied description, and as this is the first
it is also the last of these grand pheno-
mena of which this section is so prolific.
The water seethes in about 100 different
basins. The whole area of about 80
acres is vast sea of volcanic formation.

the rents in the crust. There is roar
from these rents almost deafening, and

apertures is almost Identical with the
sound given by locomotive when the
safety valve is open. You can hear the
beating of waves of superheated water
beneath the crust on which you stand,
aud in the larger basins the waters boil
and toss as if the Internal regions fur
nished the power. Stand in the middle
o. the area and you hear a multitude of
sounds, like the splashing of paddle
wheels, the roar of the sea, the rumble
of thunder, and the sharp hiss of steam
escaping from heavy pressure. The
steam is heavily charged with sulphur
and everywhere the water is depositing
the minerals held in solution. 1 shall
not attempt description of this place in
detail because inferior to other basins

the impression becomes weak and the
recollection blotted out by grandor

The trial of Jos. Jarnek was oonclud
ed Tuesday noon last. 1t consumed four
days. The girl Title Borutzsky swore
positively that he was the party who as
saulted her as did the witness Frank
Norak. The defense introduced couple
of witnesses who swore positively that
Jarnek was in their company at the time
the girl screamed ana for some time af-
