THE YOSEMITE VALLEY IN WINTER,
Way Back in 1867 1t Rained for Ten Sue
cessive Days and Nights.
The Californian. J

The Calfornian.]
Snowstorm follows snowstorm. Winter
has spread his icy mantle over the Yosemite.
The mighty cliffs and domes look down upon
the valley as in the summer months. but it
is with torbidding stateliness and with
threatening aspect
How changed the scene and different the
attractionsl The smiling vale is no longer
gay with gorgeous bowers and bright with
green meadowlands; no longer is it resonant
with the hum of busy insects, the murmur-
ing lullabies of slumbering streams and
the joyous songs of summer birds; zephyr
no longer whispers to the pine fronds as he
floats softly through the forest; and echo
no longer repeats the EXPLANATIONS of glad
visitors. The Merced rolls its swollen
current impetuously through the valley,
flooding MANY an acre of the meadowland
for rain as well as snow has fallen; the
woods are hoarse with protesting again st
the fierceness OF the storm blasts; the
snow-slide holds the beholder in awe as it
races with the waterfall in its downward
plunge, and slabs of talus and unshapelY
chunks of rock loosen their hold of their
parent cliff as water and weather do their
work and are washed with din and head
long speed down into the valley.
1t is true that such terrifying storms do
not occur with frequency, but one such was
witnessed by Mr.. Hutchings and his family
during the winter of 1867, when they were
the only residents in the valley. On that
exceptional occasion the rain poured down
incessantly for ten successive days; all the
meadowland was covered with q surging
food large trees were swept over the ridge
of the Upper Yosemite and shivered into
fragments on the granite rocks, and pines
and cedars were blown down and piled in
confusion upon each other by the wind
storm that followed the rain.

At this popular theater yesterday, the

PLUToCRACY VS.. DEMOCRACY

We are in the midst of that crisis
prophesied by the patriotic Abraham
Lincoln, who, at the close Of the war,
said: "But | see in the near future a
crisis arising that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of
my country. As result of the war
corpC rations have been enthroned, and
an eia of corruption in high places will
follow. The money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudiceS
of the people until all wealth is aggre'
gated in few hands,
1t is Plutocratic Corporations VS.
Democracy, The Republican party
represents these protected millionaires
and the era of corruption spoken OF
Ly Lincoln, is at hand.
There is only one remedy-hurl tb;
Republicans from power, by voting
the Democratic ticket, and urge a.
