DEATH VALLEY.
A Place of silence and Desolation That
WIN Never BE Reclaimed.

A Place Of silence and Desolation That
VIII Never he Reclaimed.
California can certainly claim the
greatest natural wonders of the world.
Its Yosemite valley, its big trees, its
petritied forests, and its innumerable
other attractions substantiate this as
sertion. One of the latter class, little
known and rarely spoken of, is the
Death Valley of Inyo county, in many
respects the most remarkable Of them
all.
Imagine Il trackless waste of sand
and rock, shimmering under the rays
of a more than tropical sun, hemmed in
on all sides by titanic rocks and mount
aims whose very impress is that of eter-
nal desolation, and you have a fair idea
of Death Valley. Geographically it is
the sink of the Amargosa river, which
is quite a marvel in itself. 1t rises in
the western Sierras about two miles
from the California line, and flows
southwark for ninety miles, when it
disappears from sight in the bed of an
ancient lake at the foot of the Resting
Spring mountains. A little further
south it reappears and continues an
other sixty miles, when il again returns
to its subterranean channel. Still again
it reappears and flows nearly 100 miles,
when it finally disappears in the sink
of the DeathValley, quite Il remarkable
river.
Death Valley is about eight miles
broad by thirty-five long, and com
prises some 800 square miles of the
most God forsaken country in the
world 1t looks as if suffering from
some terrible curse, such as we read of
in the Scriptures. 1t lies far below the
sea level, in some places 100 feet. No
friendly clouds appear to intercept the
scorching heat The thermometer reg
listers 125 dogs. week after week. No
moisture e falls to cool the burning
sand.
Bright steel may be left out night
after night and never be furnished.
Nothing will decay. A dead animal
will simply dry up like parchment and
remain so seemingly forever. No sound
is e heard the silence Of eternal
d~esolation reigns supreme. 1t is a curl.
Gus geological formation, only paral-
leled in n other instance-that of the
Dead sea. The rocks, lava, basalt and
granite, show the volcanic formation,
which probably will o for the
poisonous quality of the air. 1t is said
that noNious gases are emitted from the
numerous assures in the rocks.
Such is a brief description of the
most remarkable valley in America.
Population may press onward, but it
will never enter here. Reclamation of
vast tracts of land will be accomplished,
but Death Valley will never see a pillow.
1t is forever destined to remain in its
state of primitive barrenness. By the
workings of some mysterious cause the
place is hostile to life. 1t is avoided
alike by man and beast. Geologists
tell us it is a striking illustration of the
condition of the whole world at al
early geological epoch. San Francisco

When Dickens brought Mr.. Pickwick
and Sam Weller on the stage the farce
was received with shouts OF laughter,
for a farce, aud a screaming farce, the
"Pickwiek Papers were, and the inn
mortal Sam is a magnificent impossi-
bility. 1t is not only that wit and wis
dom and opposite illustrations dropped
from his lips like the pearls from those

the range of his reading had been as
wide As his practical philosophy was
profound. He is at home with Sterne,
for he talks about the young woman
who kept the Goat, etc.
Though from being wagoner's boy
and sleeping under the Adelphi arches
he had been promoted to Boots at the
Borough Inn, he is so familiar with the
interiors of respectable taverns in the
city that he can warn his master to
avoid a certain table with the awkward
legs. But what of all thatl We fear
''Pickwick" loses flavor with advancing
age, but we used to know many a
young man who read and reread it
far more indefatigably than he ever
searched the Scriptures -Blackwood's

a band of ostrich feathers of the same color,

n n astonishing height in the back-a hat
not larger and shaped like many a sea-
shell, as impudent as her pertly raised nose.
She looks fashionable to an extreme, but
not a lady. and this is exactly what she

When the new Garden theatre was
opened, quite a ripple of anticipation agi-
tated the minds of playgoers when it was
advertised that she was to play the lead

appeared on the stage. She had taken
several trips to Europe, breaking contracts
with an i-nconsequence hat had become
proverbial, and except for paragraphs APP
pearing occasionally in the papers regard
ing her gowns, the size of her foot, or her
opinion on things European, she had virtu-
ally retired to private life.
Best remembered of her successes in
comic opera is Bettina in the Mascot
She sang the part in German at Amberg's
theatre, and made a pronounced hit in 1t.
Here she is in the ''shreds and patches
of the poor goose girl, a passionate, willful
hoyden able to strike out from the shoulder
when the village boys attempt TO kiss her
against her will, capable of expressing
more in a shrug, or a glance through her
tangled hair, than many women In an eight
page letter.

Talleyrand, like most diplomatists,
was famous for his attention to the de.
tails of etiquette. He prided himself
on an ability to adjust his mode of ad.
dress to the rank and position of the
person to whom he was speaking.
On M occasion, when a number OF
distinguished men were dining with
him, he varied his formula when invit-
ing them to partake of beef in such a
manner as to suit the rank of the re-
spective persons.
May L have the honor of sending
your royal highneu a little beef" he
asked a prince of the blood.
To a duke he Eaid, "Monsiegneur,
permit me to send you little beef"
Marquis" he continued. may l
send you some beefT'
''Viscount, pray have a little beef"
Baron, do you take beeff' ran the
next interrogation.
Monsieur" he said to an untitled
gentleman, some beefi"
To his secretary he remarked casual
ly, BEER
But there was one gentleman left
who deserved even less consideration
than the secretary, and T~alleyrand,
posing his knife in the air, favored him
with a mere look of interrogation. II
the guest was possessed of an indie
pendent spirit one Fan imagine that he
did not take beef that day.-Youth's

MAssn E SHIPS OF FRANCE.
a Picture Of The French and American
Saaadrons of Evolution.

a Picture Of the French and American
SqaRdrons OF Evolution.
The French men-of-war in the harbor
form the first division of the Mediterra-
mean squadron of evolution, the other
divisions of which we met on our
along the coast, and we have as our
neighbor again the Amiral Duperre,
the giant battle ship encountered on
our arrival at Toulon, which, with the
other ships of this division, has re-
manned ia port TO receive our feet.
Something like n squadron of evolu-
ton" this magnificent fleet of French
men-of-war-nine great battle ships,
two powerful cruisers, two dispatch
vessels carrying torpedoes, n torpedo
cruiser and three regular torpedo boats.
The battle ships are the Aniral
Baudin, Formidable, Amiral Duperre,
Courbet, Trident, Redoutable, Van
ban, Bayard and the Duguesclin-the
last three named being so called cui-
rasses de croisiere or iron clad cruisers,
and are of the same class of ships as
the Triomphante, whose departure for
Asiatic waters we witnessed. The three
first named are among the largest and
most powerful ships of the French navy.
The total number Of gum carried in
both principal and secondary batteries
on the vessels composing this squad
ron reaches 301 pieces Of artillery, from
the enormous 81 ctm. rifles of the Bau-
din and Formidable to the various
rapid fire and revolving cannon with
which the ships are armed. Besides
this sixty torpedo tubes are distributed
throughout the fleet.
The speed attained by individual yes
! sells runs from fourteen knots by the
Bayard to twenty knots by the Agile,
M of the torpedo boats, and the crews
to man them all make up a force Of
$3.50 men. Note the Amiral Duperre,
the Courbet, the great Formidable
well named indeed-lying near where
the Chicago is moored, graceful, white
and almost fragile in comparison with
the black monster her neighbor; see
the gray, long, narrow Milan, the only
ship in port that any of our squadron
would stand much chance in fighting
within +. zogbaum in Scribner's.

/. A ley meat chopper for domestic
use is distinguished by the fact that the
meat is cut by an action like that of a
pair of scissors and is not torn apart;
neither is it ground into a greasy pulp.
The forcing screw feeds the meat up
to a knife with eight radiaI blades, re-
volving between a fixed two bladed
knife and a cutting plate of novelcon-
struction. The plate has a number of
grooves ~converging toward a central
aperture, the ribs between the grooves
having sharp cutting edges. The work
is well and rapidly done. A medium
sized machine will produce four pounds
of filed sausages per minute.-New

The British steamship Mameluke has
a crew of sixty East Indian coolies,
commonly called Lascars. The officers
of the vessel speak very highly of them,
and say they would rather sail with
them than with a white crew. They
are docile, obedient and trustworthy,
in this respect differing from the Ma
lays, who are extremely treacherous.
Some Of their peculiar customs are
very amusing to Americans. For in
stance, they always eat their food in
the open air, with their faces toward
the west, and the greatest insult a
white man or "Geaour" a offer them
is to walk between them and the sun
while they are eating, causing his
shadow to fall on their food, which i'm
mediately becomes unclean.
Their appearance is rendered peculiar
by their habit of shaving their heads,
leaving but one tuft at the side for
''the prophet to drag them into Para
disc by. When married they wear a
ring ON their big toe. They stand the
cold remarkably well, and make good
sailors, being as active as monkeys. In
running aloft they ignore the rattlins
and use the baekstays, a perpendicular
wire rope, which they literally walk
up.-Philadelphia Record.

In his address to the sixtieth annual
meeting of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science the presi-
dent, Sir f. A. Abel, reviewed the
progress of science since the last meet
ing of the association at the same place
Leeds in 1858. The subject to which
reference was made included the trans
mission of electric energy and the appli-
cation of voltaic energy to the fusion and
welding of metals, the discovery of the
use of aluminium in the production Of
iron and steel castings, the measure
ment and control Of the explosive force
of gSnpowder, the composition and
value of the smokeless powders, recent
inventions of explosives for mining pur-
poses, and the development of the pc
troleum and natural gas fields of the
United States.-Arkansaw Traveller.

The song was peculiar and made pass
ers by stop and try to think out what
the crier was trying to sell, and whether
his cry vas in English or in old time
Indian Manhattanese. "A-live! a-livel"
was his cry; ''all a-live!' Then there
was silence for a moment and the crier
resumed his cry with Soft shell crabs

relieved to find out what it was that
was ''all alive" passed on.-New York

Representative Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, and a party of friends were
informally discussing members of CON
gress, when someone asked, What do

who had just met Hansbrough for the

An improved waterproof garment has
been patented in England which it is
claimed possesses thorough ventilation.
The top portion of the back of the gar
ment below the collar, or neck band,
is formed by letting in a piece of fabric
which is not treated with India rubber,
but is simply acidized or otherwise
treated for the purpose of rendering the
same shower proof, when not intended
to be covered by a collar or cape; or it
may be, in some cases, such as when it
is is intended to be covered by n collar
or cape, a simple woven or openwork
fabric not treated with acid.
The form of the inserted piece may
be somewhat triangular, crescent
shaped or otherwise, as found most
convenient, the object being to dove
tail into the garment between the
shoulders n fabric which will permit of
the egress Of perspiration from the
wearer's body without the necessity of
an ugly or awkward appearance. An
other portion of the improvement is to
line the back of the garment with a
piece of lace or fabric of an openwork
nature, having woven or manufactured
thereon the name of the manufacturer
of the garment or other name.-CIoth-
Ter and Furnisher.
