Between Austin and Belmont a salt march was pointed out, with the remark that 'it is tjie bet pacing property In Nevada.' The salt granules rise to tlio surface. during the long summers, and can be scraped Off at the rate of several tons per day.

"The second day's ride took us to a little mining town called Hot Creek, which has stif-fere-I 1ho misforiune of having its one Btiver w'.l1. bufnt Jown. "hoi Crees. at the niouth ot a massive, masniheent cnuon, beetl.il? with precipices, and picturesque for every foot of iti six miles' winding way. A lew feet from the hotel in the valley are a cluster of boiliug springs, that bubble up from the bowels of the earth strongly charged with sulphur and other chemicals. The springs number eight or ten, and ranee from the boiling point down to 'as hot as jon'can bear it.' A litilo bathiug booth and a wash tnb on the brink show that they are Ulized, and we are t ildthat it was not uncom mon to cook eggs uud meat In this devil's labo ratory. "One of the hottest of the springs is not pressed into culinary servitude, because- It has the quality of discoloring sll nicul", including gold and tilver. Allot Creeker has a theory For the eprint-'s. He lusists that they itsue from a 'brevet hell,' dose at hand. The hot water takes Its way down the valley, and runs for several hundred yards before its temperature becomes endurable. Too rushes and other vegetation that spring up on the b inks of this ardent creek are of the rankest texture, and a green to rich and deep th'it it is quite a novel least to the eye. The tact is noted as curiou, that on one side ot the canon the ep-lngs are all hot, and on the opposite side, fifty jards distant, all cold. INDIANS. "At different points we observed specimens of two tribes of Indians th'j Sho shone and Pah Ute. Near Belmont a pirty of fcbosuones were seated ou the sunny aide of waybide tavern, engaged in pliviug Indian poker, a game of which they are extremely loud. A twittering old Miuaw, with her feet incased in a pair of prodigious cowhide boots, appenrel to be the expert, and she raked down the silver half dollars with tbe composed countenance of a Fourth street professional.

A correspondent of the London Times di rects attention to the interesting proofs of the former existence of glaciers in the neigh borhood of Conway, in North Wales. A member of the Alpine Club some years ago announced the oisuovery of moraines aud other tracts of glaciers on and around Snotv don. To many travellers, however, Snowdon is out of the way; and those who can make a short visit only to Wales, or who go uo farther than the wateiing places on tho northwest coast from Rhyl to Llaududno and Aber, will be glad to be told that they can most easily visit a spot supplying the cloarest evidence that there was a time, though long before the dawn of history, yet geologically EO recent that the surface of the country aud the sea level were the same as they no v are, when the valleys of our coast were UUnd with glaciers and the hills covered with per petual snow when Britain, iu fact, had the climate now found ou the coasts of (ireou land and Labrador. Traces of inoi alum are found in the valley of the Oufl'yu. Thin vale is some six or eight miles lorg, and lig immediately to the notth eaat of Conway; it is between two spurs ef upturned Silurian sir.ita descending from the inland side of Peuin'.ubauh, one of the moun tains of the bnowdoniu range, to nearly the level of the sea. Oa the western rusk is built Conway Capf.e; between thij and the eastern ridge is the little bay in whioh Stephenson built his lirst tubular bridge. The traveller leaving Couway by the Gull'yn-gate, and tracing the little stream untiJL he couis to the watermill near Gull'yn Church, to the weBt of the mill-pool, and where three lanes meet, will see a fine sec tion of an ancient moraine, the balk formed of line greund-down Ubrin of granite rook, in which are irregularly imbedded waterworu boulders, of sizes vaiyiug from that of a pea to a cart. Further np a grove of trees is fouud on another moraine. Following the road, he will find on either e i 3. aud in the bed of the little stream blocks f stone deeply out with parallel grooves and line scratchings. The grooves and scratchings often at very different angles. These can only be produced by the ice action of glaoieis. The blocks are often found weather-wom uud covered with lichens. Still higher up the, valley the visitor will ob serve, near a farin-himse called JJryn Donssie, another moraine. TUe smaller hills near, lying in the centie of the valley, are strewn with boulders covered with ioe markings. The tops of all these hills are rounded oil", aud their smooth outlines form a contrast to the sharp and rugged edges, ol vhe top 3 of the Uaukd of the valley." Tito Lute lloiin Militian. INCIDENTS OK 1113 LIFE HIS LAST DAYS. The Loudon Teieyraph says: "With tne death of Dean Milinan, ti luuiiinr and welcome pre sence has passed aw.ty Irom tun socety of Lon don. It was not ouiy his persoual repute, hu charm ot mauuer, hi- kindness of nature, his rich fund of anecdote and reminiscence, aud his varied knowledge tha' endeared him to ail who had the plcasuie ot bis acquaintance; but of later years there also hung about him a sort of reflected glory. Fust Master as ho was in tbe craft ot letters, he had seen the rise and decline ot a dozen literary cciiools. Ho had been the cempauion, acqua'uiance, friend, and fellow woiker of well-nigh every author uuriug seve ral generation1. Jle had taken the town by storm with lazio, in the d.i.vs when Miss O'Neill was in the fulness of her repute; he ha J lived to see the heroine' pan played by Historl ntthe heiahtof h:r prisiige; behadbeeu knuwii and honored as an uuthur when Walter Scott, Bjron, Shelley, and Keats weie the heroes of the day; he had formed part of the society of which Sydney hniith, Soathey, Jedrey, Brougham, Macaulay, aud Lockhart were the ornaments; he had been asocmcd with Thack eruy, bulwer, Tennyson, I)ick?us, and every man of the bro'.herhool who formed the elder geuera'ion ot recent writers; aud lew aurhor of anv maik were so young thit they hud uot been honored by the not .ceof tho kindly patriarch whose lo.e of Je;tern, aud of all who studied them, endured to the very last. "As bin years advanced the Dean was (ond of saying, half in jest and nalt in earnest, that he had found out the bec way to answer a criticism-it was to ou. hve the critic; audit may fairty be admitted thai part of his latter celebrity was due to the lact that bo had ou lived so mtiny authors of his own day. Bat ia his tin.e Alilmau did yeoman's service to iho cause oi letter.-. As a pout, ois repute has long been asu'ued to the tecoi.d, if not the third, order of merit. 'Su?in'a 'il-hiizzar' are known nj longer ou the shelves of circulatiug libraries. And yet to men wearv of the sltpshop rhythm, contorted melody, uud overstraiued sentimcn talisin which characterize much of our later poetry, there is sjmething invigorating iu the well poised, full-int asuied lines of The Fall ot Jerusalem;' the verses are so good, that the reader's only wonder is why they have uot the unmistakable liug of genuine song. They are not poeiry, perhaps; j jt they are curiously like poetry." A writer iu the 1'oH Mall Gazette says: "There was a charm ubout his soc iety whica it is difficult to analyze or describe. There was something very vcuerabla In his aye, aud his wonderful store of Icuowledue on all subjects; but this wss relieved in the most delightful manner by the tire, the eagerness, the universal interest in whatever was going on, which gave a character to LU conversation, and these characteristics aaaiu were bleuded in a very touching way with the most atl'eotionate gentle nes aud beauty of demeauor. It is hardly a fancy to say that Dt-au Milinan was a sort ot incarnation of ihe best and happiest aspects of theiChurch to which tie belouge l; ot the manly sense ard fieedom which, especially iu the last century, inspired a many grea'. writers; of the tocial biilliaucy und kuowledge ot the world which ought to d.st'ngu'sh a body so closely eounected with public lite, ani of the persoual goodness, tenderness, and charity we all like to ai-sociate with the character of an English clergyman. If we had more men like hltn, wa should not hear so much of the dangers of the Chuirb. But he is gone, and the circumstances under which such men were bred up to suata.u tbe dignities ot the Church are changed, aud will not, we fear, bo restored." Ihe London Times remaiks: "Dean Mil-nan thioughout lile wu a bupuorter of lioeral opinions, both In idi;,'ion and politics, though into tho sphere of political action he did not otien rare 10 intrude, ft is, however, to oo remembered and iccorded in his favor that in 1805 Ue Incurred COii-ult-raMn illriuv In nleri- tal circles by Hdvouulng a relaxation in the terms of subscrlntion ro the 1'hlrty-niuo Articles. "With Dean Milman schoUr, poet, historian, and divine in one bus passed away one of mo lust links which joined the scholarship of the eighteenth century with that ot the present.

A carious Sunday sceuc in Loudon is scribed by the Timet i - "Kvcry Sunday niorntu6r, It seems, about 10 o'clock, a rroad of men and ooys take p(is8e slon of four streets withri a few minutes' wal o( the Great Kttern Bull way sli'lon at Shore dilcb.

But the 'bird duuVrs' are only the centre of the fair. We read of dogs, mice, auiUomi.ril ponies, broken-down peraiubulutorK, old keys, locks, and hardware, and eevn fiddles aud concertinas. The crowd, too, like an army, brings its camp followers venders of pies an i ginucr beer, low betting men, aud even a street preacher, whose quality may b Imagined from his title ot 'Black Jemmy th Cutler.' "Bf er arrtl spirits cannot be openly t-old. for It is Bunday and ihe hour of 'Divine service,' nnd the public houses and beer shops arc shut. Bat the rtstrlction Is easily evaded. Holes are cut ir. partition wall', through which the drink is pasM d to the neighboring hues. Where two streets are parallel it is caxy to admit customers into the bsck yard through an opposite house; and, in fact, the police have found purtles of men sittii g in the yards of public houses with bsrreisof beer by their side. The buying and selling at the fair Is conducted with the iisuil noise, ond amid the grosses? and loudest ob scenity and blasphemy. And all th's oo Sunday n oroloir between 10 and 1 o'clock, aud under the very shadow of two cburchpo, which are so near that the Fhouts aui cur.-es of tho fair Interrupt tbe worship ot tbe congregations, and the sound of the church organs is heard amid the indecencies of the crowd. 'Elaborate and ingenious devices are adopted for the purpoke of obtaining liquor during the sale. There are In the parish of St. Matt bits, With six thousand inhabitants, Ihiiteeu public houses and seven beet shops, and in the Holy Tiinlty Missiou district a similar number. It is against the beer-shop keepers principally that tho policp. Lave to contend in their efforts to prevent the illegal trade on Sunday mornings. Arrangements are made with the people of neighboring houses, so that the beer is passed out through tho latter to those who demand It, and in some cases a beer house situated in one street has a means of communication through its back yard with another house in a different thoroughfare. One Sunday four policemen made their way into one of these places, and found about fifty or tlxty men sitting in a yard with two barrels of beer in their immediate vicinity. Cases like this aie frequent, but tbe difficulties in the way of depriving bner-shop-kecpers of their llcrnFOs are so great that tbe police are comparatively powerless". When summoned, the oflet.ders are fined, but they are seldom deteired by that from a repetition of the oiltnse." A Slisslouary fcccne iu China. "Oarl'dou" writes us follows to tho Boston Journal, from Canton, China: ' I preached every day to the Chinese." t:. Mr. 1'ieston. "Would you like to bee what sort of a congregation I have?" "By all me;ins." We take our feats In sedans, nnd are carried through the streets, turuiug now to the right, now to the left, so often that I give uo all attempts ot keeping track of our whereabouts, and trust that we thill get back again all safe. We come into one of the principal streets at lusr, and stop before a little store kept by the missionaries Joe the sale of books. Dozeu ot C 'ple are already there wailing fur the opening of the duors. Jt is 1 o'clock, and the udu of life surging through the streets is at its flood. A preacher would have a slim audience in .State street at 'Change hour, but the Cnine.-e are an old people, their empire is finished, 'heir civilization com plete, slid tune is a drug. They have abundaut leisure, white we foreign burbtirians are worry ing and hurrying ourselves to dettu. The doors are opened, and we euter tho chapel a room with a large window at tbe further end boh in 1 the desk, brick walls, s"tiees capable of seating two hundred or more. In five minutes the roo n is lull. Mitiog by the desk, I have an oppor tunity to study the audience. On the frout setts are some literary btudenls young men who ure studying for olhuial emplojmenr, well dressed In white, clean frocks and trowsers, then pigtails neatly braided. Here at my right hand, as I face th audience, is a coolie with the three bundles doue up in brown paoer and a porter bottle in his aims. lie has stepped in to rest himself a few minutes, to hear what the "forelgu dovli" has fo say. Behiud him is another coolie wearing his broad brimmed bat. On the other end of the bench, at my lett hand, a man with a moustache a sUn mat he is a grandfather, o' custom has established it that none but graudlaihers can wear hair ou their upper lip. Men of all ages, all conditions, from the well-to-do merchant down to the poor wretch who Jives on rice and snails, citizens and ttra-ieers lrorn up country, compocei the audience. These men are actuated by various motives lovoof novelij or curiosity to hear a foreigner talk fluently in their language. They are mt accustomed to hear public speaking; they have their story-tellers, but no gatherings where arguments are put forth. Very lew cf them are seekeis a ter truth, aud their conceptions of the Christian religiou are exceedingly low, but jet every day they Hock to this chapel to hear this Aineilcao preacher, a bhorf, thick-set, good naiured uift.i, who understands their language perfectly, and who is well read in their litera ture. His subject is tbe confiict betweeD good and evil holiness and sin. ' A young man Jwith bright eyes, a student, break in: "If your doctiine is tree, why don't you for eicmeiB practise it; why do you bring opium to China?' A home question, practical, right to tho point. The audience all alert to hear what Mr. Prcstou will say. "There aro wicked men all over the world, and it foreigners bring opium to China jou must have nothing to do with it. ' The laueh which goes up shows that the audi ence appreciate the reply. "Why did you make war upon China?" another one asks, while the man with a mous tache put this question: "Why do you come and take the coolies and make slaves of them ?" The replies are evidently satisfactory, for the audience maintains its good humor to tho end. This brief sketch of the meeting is sufBcieut to khow those who support missions that one great difficulty in the way ol mlsHionary efloit in this empire Is the attitude of England on the opium question. The people are ready to hear, but they suppose that the missionaries are In the pay of foreign Uovernmenta, aad that all their ta'ktng about a new reliuiou is a political game.

Heidelberg lies in the vall?y of the Keckar, and is surrounded by the most chtrmlng scenery. I arrived there in ihe midst of a creat semi-aunual fnir, which guve me bu excellent opportunity of seeing German costumes, mtn ners, and life. On the publ square and in the broader streets, long Hues ot wooden booths were erected, and goods ot every conceivable description exposed lor pule. There were atsi exhibitions of ' Pui.ch" and "Judy," of wax work, and ot second-rate pictures aud statu try, and booths of fortune-ttllers and clairvoyant'. Then there were stalls In which there was perpetual cooking, and .from whose savory windows waffles and cakes, nondescript and mnrvellous, wero ored in the'r smoking charm upon all passeri-by.
