DEATH VALLEY.

Death Valley, in California, owes
its name partly to its frightfully desc
late character, being Tor the most
part destitute Of everything necessary
to support life, and partly 10 the num-
Der OF persons and animals that per-
ished there The valley is 100 miles
long by twenty wide, though only
about forty in length and eight or ten
in width is embraced within lnyoI
County. In 1852 large party of i'm
migrants persisted from thirst within
its limits. Its level is from 100 to 400
feet below that OF the sea, giving it a
greater depression than the Caspian,
and nearly as great as that OF the Dead
Sea. tits, says Cronise, probably the
bed Of the former lake, the waters of
which were strongly charged with salt
and soda.
For forty-five miles in length and
fifteen in width along its centre it is
salt marsh, in which the Amargorza
(or Bitter river sinks, and where a
third layer of soil covers an unknown
depth of soft mud For miles there is
no water fit to drink, and, although
springs are numerous they are intense
Nv alkaline. Saline cffervescence
and mineral incrustations cover a
great portion of the surface, which is
| composed of an ash-like Garth, mixed
with tenacious clay, sand and alkali 80
| soft that man cannot travel over 1t in
| the winter time without difficulty, and
| tor animals it is entirely impossible at
any season. In spots where there is
less moisture the surface is 80 porous
that horse sinks into it hallway TO his
knees, rendering travel slow and Ia
borious. Water can be obtained by
digging down few feet, but it is so
saline and bitter that it can be used by
neither man nor beast.
With the exception CT few clumps
of worthless shrubs the plain is desti-
tute of the slightest traces OF vegeta
ton, nor are any signs of life to be seer
upon it, except small black gnat
which in summer swarms in myriads
entering the eyes, nose and ears OF the
traveller, and prosecuting him with 1T
peculiar irritating sling. The heat il
great during the summer. An ex
ploring party in 1885 found the tenn.
perature in January-the coldes
month in the year-as high as 9o1
Fahrenheit. When there is no breeze
through the long canon the air be-
comes so dense that respiration is pain
full and difficult. During the sprinl
terrible gales of wind fill the air will
salt, gravel and Sand, in clouds a
black as coal smoke. The whole sur
face of the valley, except the marsh il
the centre, is SCARED in all direction
with deep grooves, which appear t
have been caused by heavy storm
Land the bursting of water spouts. AL
together it is as dismal and dreary
place as can be imagined.

John Smson Africa, the present secretary
OF Internal affairs, and the Democratic nomi-
nee for reelection, WAS born In Huntingdon,
where he now resides on the 18th ofSeptein-
Dor, ls32.
Mr.. Africa was educated in the common
schools and at the Huntingdon academy.
These gave him all the opportunities that
were necessary for tho active and successful
and professional lifo which has destined to be
his. He has, however, been close student
notwithstanding, necessary requisite for
any ono engaged in practical professional
pursuits. After completing his academic
studies, he began the study and practice OF
surveying and civl engineering with his
father and his uncle, James Simpson, who
was his principal instructor. In his profes-
sion he attained high distinction.
AZ the campaign Of lsS2 approached, there
developed great unaumity OF sentiment
that Mr.. Africa should be the nominee of the
Democracy OF the state for the secretaryship
OF internal affairs In bringing about this de-
sirsble result, no took no pIrt--but in this, as
In other cases, was ready To obey the behests
OF his party. The nomination was there
fore conferred upon him by the state
convention, which met at Harrisburg, in
June, of that year. 1t will bo remem-
bered that prior to this campaign there
bad been bitter antagonism in the Re-
publican party, which ended in a splt-the
Hon. John Stewart, Of Chambersburg, be-
coming the candidate of the independents,
while the regular nomination was conferred
upon General James a. Beaver, of Belle.
lonte. From the first II was supposed the
Democratic ticket would be elected, but it
was determined to make that suppOstion a
certainty and add strength 10 the ticket by
again selecting Mr.. Africa rs the candidate
for secretary OF internal affairs. The result
showed the wisdom and foresight of the con-
ventiOn. Mr.. Africa WAS elected by a plur-
ality Of 1854, and in Huntingdon county
his plurality was l,GsT, while that of the
head OF the ticket was l3a.
