YOSEMITE VALLEY, Detailed Narration of the Present Slate ,of the Wonder. VIEWS FROM ALL POINTS, Grandeur Vnparnllelod la all the World. The valley Is but half a dozen miles long, with a varying width of from three fourths of u mile to two miles, and an av wage depth of not loss than 2,500 feet. It is a “sink” six miles long, a mil© wide and half a mile deep. This would be a marvelous thing if it were In a plain or a prairie; the Yesomhe is in the wild heights and rocky fastnesses of the Sier ra Navada mountains. The boldest con ce R ( . J .2aibj,e awes the soul, the fact as than imagination can fashion in'its modi exultant moments. Coming In, you enter the valley at the west end—by the long route, on the south side; byjthe short route on the. north side. If you enter from the north and §o out on the south, you see the valley in elail and then take a final view of it as a whole from Inspiration Point. This seems to me worse than madness—above ad things else, infinitely above all things else, every one coming.here should first have that view from the Point. It will remain with mo as the event of my life. I would not change it for a hundred views from the same rocks after seeihg the valley in detail. Whatever else you do when you come; here, tike the long route by Mariposa andgive the immortal man within you the quick unfolding of all the sublime scene at the Point. Go out by the shore if you please—it is much the easiest I am told—but before you do so, devote one afternoon to a second visit to the point, that you may look fug up on the valley from above and without, alter you have seen it well from below and within. '■ BENTZ * CO. Can anything in nature he more beau tiful than the Bridal Veil fall? It is 930 feet high—ooo of perpendicular, height and 330 more almost perpendicular—yet so far us l feel, it has no elemeut of sue-. Ilmiiy br grandeur: I have eeen in the morning, cold against Its back-ground of shadowed rocks; in the afternoon, glow ing in the sunlight till every drop of wa ter sparkled like a diamond; in the early evening, when the jubilant wind played with it us if it were but a failing flood of rarest and white luce, and the lower half of the great Cliff seemed bung with a wide stretch of brilliant rainbows, com ing and going, fading and g.owlng, till all sense of time and place Was lost and nothing remained but that radiant and ever-changing splendor of which eye and soul never weaned. How the wind cun ettect thie lull as It does Is a mystery that n.o study of mine can faihom. In the morning the siieet of water comes down with a sort of joyous nirinesss infinitely charming; in the afternoon the breeze Catches Hand moulds it to ten thousand lovely and graceful forme; now it sways slowly from side to side jyilh the even sweepof a long pendulum; now it is broken Into millions of duzz lug crystals; anon it is tossed into falling waves ol sparkling splendor; then it is divided in to fifty streamlets for three' hundred ifeet of its descent, and ‘ afterwards folded quickly together and dropped with tou derest good will and reluctant release in to the shadowed rocks below. Or, aguiu, cau.auy thing be more beau tiful than Piwyak Veruul lnll, “ the cat aract of diamonds ?" It.ia two mites of trolling, two more of rugged rooky trail, and then nearly a mile on foot to reach it. While you are there, you doubt if anything else In or out of.the valley ia so beautiful. Measured at a low siago of wa ter, it gives but 350 ; at a high stage, when it shoots larther over into the canyon, the State geologists found it to bo 425. At this season ol the year ft is a sheet thirty to forty leet wide at the edge of the rock, with a varying depth of Irbm three to twelve or thirteen inches. In May and June H is a foaming torrent sixty to sev enty feet wide, and not less than three feet deep. Then Its grandeur is greatly predominant; Uow there is something of grande Jr and an inflntteof beauty. Here is no swaying of the waters, no fantastic play of an afternoon wind. At the base of the Ml is a deep basin, eighty to one hundred feet across; the sweeping rush of the perpendicular de- o eutes J a tremulous movement of the air oyer ; thie.pdbi, driViiig the spray into the ever green hillside, covering the water with delightful, though evanescent tinta.of 1 purpleliiVd yellow and- scarlet, moistenlngthe gray granite Uith mani fold rainbow scuds., You. uiay.lie on one of these rocks, seventy or eighty feet away from tho falling sheet, and loolc at it for an hour with greater joy in each moment. It is for the most part a cata ract of diamonds, though'there is a space of two hours Just before noon during which one gets another view—great waves and mighty showersof white wool; that for the first fllty or sixty feet of the descent, then.u deep shadow, and at lust a IJootl of brilliants* The visit to these falls give Hainan hour’s ride along- the Mercer river, sweeping placidly, through the level meadows—a stream averaging seventy fadiraL THE BEAD HUMMER. CARLISLE, PA.. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1869 feet In width, with water soolear and transparent that stones or fish lying ton or twelve feet deep are seen as clearly as 11 on land. The trail up the canyon Is the roughest riding of the whole- Yeso inite trip. On the left is the roaring and tumbling river from fifty to one hundred feet below ; on the right is the dizzy anil rugged mountain; your horse picks hla way caref'lly among the rocks, now climbing a series of rude stone steps, and then winding around bouldeis of granite ns large as a two-stoiy farm house. Some of the ladies of our party found the way so full of peril that they chose to walk rather than ride, hut this did not stem to me needful, as these native horses are generally sure-footed. Every rod of this patli brings new and grand scenery. Just where wo leave our horses is an immense overhangi'iic cliff, under winch unenter prising individual spends hlsdayk, keeps ale; wine, cigars and hot tea for visitors, and, in the spring, rubber overcoats lor the hire ol those who are going through the spray. Here most persons eat lunch brought from tho hotel, glad enough to get a glass of Horton’s ale or lea. The Nevada falls—Y'owiye—are also on the Merced, about a mile above the Ver nal. The bold roca over which the Ver nal shoots can be ascended In but one way—yon must take to the ladders. 300 feet ol pretiy step climbing, om which some persons are afraid to venture. I couldn’t see but that they were suite enough ; what there Is above tempts one to some hazard. Ouce up, you can walk down 100 feet over the smooth rock to the edge of the falls. Here is a curious nat ural balcony or parapet, hreast high, against which you can lean and look over into the little, basin .below; if you aro venturesome and strong-nerved you can even crawl out a long aud narrow 1 spur beyond the water, and see it as It! plunges upon the rocas at the base of the fall. From here to tile Nevada is an ‘hour’s scramble, though the wild canyon, all the way with scenery grand aud stu pendous—Wondrously beautiful where the river shoots swiftly over a rock forty feet wide and six hundred long, at a pitch of about twelve or fifteen degrees, not in a straight line, but describing the aro ol a great circle, leaping at lost with a,hila rious spriug into a deep and quiet lake six or eight rods wise by fifteen or twen ty rods long, scooped into the bed of solid rook—restful contrast to the scene of gi guntio contention within which it is set. Bowiye.is U2s'feet high. Here, again, is beauty, but the graudtehr is far more than the beauty. The rock has a slope of five or six, degrees from the perpen dicular, so. that there is little depth be hind tile sheet of, water at its hose. Something of impressiveness seems to he lost trom this fact, but there iseuough in tho scene around to. humble any soul into submission. The fall itself,has hardly au equal anywhere out of the val ley ; to it you cannot help adding -the wild aiid precipitous pass near by at the left; the Titanic mass of rook a little further away, solid, isolated, almost per pendicular on three sides, rising 2,000 leet iuto tne Cup of Liberty; and then, on the right, the high, rock-ribbed slope, 1,000 feet above ttmtop of the tall, so fast uuu distant in the heavens that enor mous pine and spruce trees on its gray declivity look like mere shrubs, ft is possible to climb up through the left hand puss to the crest of the tail, but 1 contented myself with seeing the sight from below. In the spring lime the whole canyon is filled with blinding spray; now you Can lie ou the rooks a few rods trom the base aud 'watch the fall at your leisure. A projecting rook of eight or ten feet just where the water breaks over the summit divides the cur rent and plays such lantasllo tricks Hid 1 * U'ftfEu niind can imagine, giving unique to^u-oduqg—tVvtf-j Indian name—dud, so far as I know, the effect is without a parallel iu (be world. I Tho Yosemlte fall may be beautiful to some eyes—X can see nothing, feei noth ing, Out its terrible grandeur. There, have been hours in which I grew uiruid of it, as if it were a living thing. The angle of the rock is of such oharacier. that for a distance of two miles "'in tne valley, this lull seems directly in front. - .Stand at either of t- e hotels, half a mile UeloNV the other, anywhere in that stretch of meadow, and the fall is squarely be fore your eyes. It wails ou one’s foot steps like au obedient creature—rather like aspirit—now compelling one to bow iu mule and profound adoration, and now watching forohe's moments of unholy or worldly weakness. One cannot got away from It; step to the door of your hotel, and there it is; look up from the shadow in which you are lying at noontide, and there its grandeur falls; wake in the night and look from your window, and it vibrates tautaliziugiy in the magic moonlight; shut your eyes and close your ears, and you see it and feel it fall ing down its dizzy height into your heart of hearts. From a dozen points of view it is a vertical fail of 3,640 leet—what can the eye and the minti do with sucu a height as that? Go to the base and climb about it; trace it down to Us simplest de- tail, and it still remains a vertical shaft of 1,550 feet, a’ cascade of 000 feet in eighty or ninety rods, and then a plunge ol 500 feel lor an ending. Mow it seems to be fifteen feet wide uud ten or twelve inches deep where it breaks over the edge of the ruck ; at the melting ot the snow's it is three or four leet deep and thirty or forty feet wide. When the wind first caught this long column of water on the morning after my arrival, it seemed to me as it X were looking at the wonder of the world; in every morn ing of my stay 1 have seen that same magnificent contest of wind and water— X -t turns the picture is so graven into my bruin that X can see it as long os life lasts. . The Valley contains.l,4ll acres of land —745 of level meadow and 396 of sandy slope. There are four or live claimants to it, Luaiou and Hutchings might prop erly enough De paid sometningTor their, claims; but under the oopgresslouul act giving the Valley to the Sta«e no part of it cau ever bo conveyed to individuals There will be talk in Congress Ibis win ter about.the mutter—U ought to be defi nitely and conclusively settled at once, so that the public and the claimants may know what to do next year. The mead ow land Is so level that lu four miles and &-huif the dyer has u desceut of but for ty feet. The soil is,rich, and Xjamon has as fine a garden as X ever saw—his.atravv berries and nectarines are UU gone, hut his bushes are filled with blackberries, and his trees with peaches uud plums and pears and apples—and the payment of u two bits 1 gives every visitor a chance to eat all he can. The valley is well fill ed with trees—oak, spruce, pine, poplar, fl/, maple, cellar, laurel, alder, willow uud in the spring season the metdow laud uud canyons are beautilul with many strange and bright-bued flowers. Visitors count it a duty to visit Mirror iake to see the wonderful {eilectiou of mountain scenery in its uurippied wa ters. Ills a sheet of about three acres, an enlargement of Tenaya creek, lying at the very base of the great half dome.— I’ve been up there three times—a three n. lies’ ride or wal not so much for the water views as for the superb views; best of ail, tue grand view of the high rock stretches of Cloud’s Best, gray and cold and repellent under the warm est : suu, As lor reflect! us—the quiet pools of the Merced give them to me in countless numbers; and In the light of this full muon I have wamfflredupkud down the river for hours, finding tree and rock and cliff as sharply defined iu the limpid water us iu the colorless at mosphere during the day time. It were rush madness to attempt a pic ture of these mountains. See the figures; On the south side of the valley, begin ning at the west end—lnspiration Point, 1 2,073 feet; Bridal Veil Kook, 1,750 leet; Cathedral Sphes, 2,409 leet, Cathedral 2,060 feet; the Graces, 2,850 leet; the iSentfnel, 3,043; Glacier uock, 3,200 feet; Valley Chiel, 3,000 feet. On the north side of the vuiley— El Cupltau, 3,000; >he brothers, 3,830 feet; Yoaeuilie itock, 3,- 030 feet; Royal Arch Kook* 1,060 fact; Washington Column, 2,150 feet; North Dome, 3,568 feet. Up Merced canyon-r- Cad of Liberty, 3,300. Up Teuaya canyon —the Half Dome, 4,737 feet, and Cloud's Rest, 5,700 feet. These aro heights above the level of the Valley, and that itself Is 4,060 leet above the sea level, so that the summit of Half Dome is 0,800 feet above the sea. Greater elevations than these are given you in the valley, but I have chosen to take the figures in the State Geological Report.

A SAIIUE lIUEI, AT TAltl.l,. Prince Metternieh, the Austrian Am bassador at Paris, recently fought a duel with Count de Beaumont, a French no bleman. The Prince received the chal lenge. Not long ago M. be Bsaumom discovered a number of letters in his wife’sbourdoir. Theircontenta dispensed him. The authors were men of rank and distinction. Prince Metternieh wag one of them. ■Count 1 de Beaumont answered the letters with Ms own hand, and the answers were challenges to fight- The duel was foughton an island in the Bhine, near Btrashurg, belonging to the grand duchy of Baden. The middle of the forenoon was the time chosen lor the encounter. Prince Metternieh had til choice f weapons, and selected the sabre as he had been a cavalry officer, and there fore is familiar with its use. His antago nist, though a good swordsman with the rapier, which wounds only by thrusts I did upt so well understand the use of the sabre, which is mainly a cutting- weap on. When the fight began, Beaumont ig uoranUof the ueages of ibeeabre-combut, rushed on the Prince with the point of li ie sword, just us tliough it were a rapier His antagonist was astounded at the novelty of this attack. He forgot him self for the instant. The Count closed upon, him, and -pierced his right arm above the elbow completely through. The artery was severed, and blood gushed from the wound in streams. The Prince turned deadly pale, but retained his self command sutlfcleutly to return tbeCouut’s salute as required by the duelling code. Neither of the adventurers spoke a word. The Prince was taken to a neighboring chateau, and for several hours was in sensible, so that it was feared that he would die. He w»» at tllo i a test - advlceo——, duel fought queues of the lelter-i t« tim.'oountess de Beaumont- Her husband first foughi Viscount Haily-Claparede, and severely wounded ifim. The Viscount, shortly a. er his escape from death at the hands of M. do Beaumont, was nearly tilled by a kind of loot poisoning occasioned by. wearing red silk slippers A second duel was fought between M. de Beaumont'a youuger brother and auutherof the offen dingletter writers, who was barely woun ded. Moiteruich duel Is the last up to the resent time; but Count de Beau mout hasupooiuimeutsto fight two other gentlemen, while-many others remain to be challenged. • Prince Metternioh is a favorite in Paris society, and the duel has excited much infeiest. It is singular that ho should have been wounded through the ignor ance of his opponent. Count tie Beau mont, though uuiustructed in the sabre exercise, was successful f If he had known more about the useful mblhoci oflighting, he might have been defeated. The Paris Figaro says, that it is one of the conditions of M. de Beaumont's chal lenges that the duels shall continually be renewed, as soon as the wounded recover, until one of the two is killed. Anecdoto of C'arloUn Fadi, The New York correspondent of the St. Louis Republican relates the lollow- Ouce upon a lime, in the city of New York, a ypung lauy, possessed of a fine soprano voice, was to decide by a sort of public rehearsal - her fate .with the ma nagerial powers of the Academy. A large number were invited, comprising all the musical critics and amateurs and professionals, and u large detachment irom the theatrical and literary world, forming a lormiable audience for ah un fledged bird to essay its virgin flight, among. * The opera selected' for the morning’s debut introduced the tremb- ling young aspirant with the -tenor, and he, us if to add to her nervousness and show' his contempt for her ability, brought the open bars of Ids music to as many notes, that is, instead ;of giving -her time to collect herself by singing all thfc opera set down for him, lie hummed luuudlhly a strain or so, and gave the concluding notes, the cue for the orches tral accompaniment to the debutante's aria, loudly and B avagely,as if to say, “just see how I am paraded hero with this Yankee novice—me, the silver-voic ed consort of Italian nightingales. Weak uud faint rose the first notes of the tremb- ling girl; weaker and fainter they seem ed to grow, as if scared at the sounds of their own weakness. XHuiter ed for a moment, it seemed as if her voice bad deserted her entirely, when loud aud clear as a bell, from the cen tre of the house, the air was taken up.— All eyes turned to the sweet fawn it by friendly feeling for the poor singer, ad ding encouragement, and marking the time with her tiny hand, us she half rose lu her seat in her anxiety to help u per fect stranger and a woman; Xu a moment the debutante took up the strain, and, os she gathered courage and heart to do that which was in her, the beauti ful voice in the audience fell away from her, aud sbe finished the aria lu triumph amid a hurricane ofuppluuse.

TBBIM.ISG INCIIIeST AT NIAGARA. Itv J, PltAJtKJirsr TOW. Ju the very centre of the seething, whirling cauldron of waters known as the rapids, lying equidistant between the American shore and the Is land, and Bath Island bridge and the brink of the falls, a rock projects two or three feet above the water. The eye rests upon it merely as, upon a speck in the midst of this angry flood; with every dash of the torrent pouring down from the plateau above it is half submerged, and sometimes wholly hidden from sight At the time of this casualty a log, three or four feet in length, had been Jammed in or under this rock, and protruded from it. The spot was one that was in the dally sight of hundreds, and In tbo early nours of that memorable summer morn-, lug the first man who bad decagon to cross tbo bridge, was startled and horri fied to see a human form standing erect in the midst of the i aging, whirling flood, on this little point of rock, wildly wav ing his arms. He must have shouted, too, but his cries were drowned iu the uproar ol the rapids. It was Joseph Avery, the sole survivor of the unfortunate boat’s ciew. It was conjectured that the boat must have sped'down to this point un harmed by rocks or rapids, and that, sinking here, Avery was thrown or spraug out, liuding just room euough for a perilous foothold, while the other two, with the boat, were swept over the cata ract; The alarm quickly spread. It is not difficult to draw a crowd atNiagara—and in half an hour the bridge and adjacent shores were thronged with horrified yet curious spectators. With them came some dozens of boatmen, laborers and others, .who comprehended’ at once that there was a chance for rescue, and imme diately begun to devise a plan. In the meantime the man had been recognized by some one, ami while the preparations were being made a large board was rude ly lettered with the words, in German, “ We will save you !” and held up so he could read it. He tossed his arms up and down several times, in token that he comprehended its meaning; and. then the crowd awaited the result of the pop ulations, and watched the object of them with almost breathless interest. It was truly frightful to see him there amid that howling waste, almost within the jaws of the mighty cataract; aud apparently cutoff from ah human aid. But as the day wore on, aud the poor fellow became used to the situation, he seemed to bear it with more.composure. .Sometimes, to change his position, he sat down upon (he rock, aud sometimes made gestures to the crowd, lb© meauingof which could not often be unders’tood. His tace, seen through a klass, looked eager, almost be youd the expression of human faces, but it was hopeful too. As noon approached the first attempt was made for his rescue. A large raft bad been constructed of heavy plank, bound together cihsswise, aud this was to be lowered down from the bridge, with strong ropes, to the castaway, when It was thought he could be drawn nip with out great difficulty. The venture was'a failure from the start. The rapids seized it aud whirled it away before the men could check it, the ropes became entang led, the raft was curried far below the vock, and at last went hopelessly over the laJls, It was a bitter, bitter disappointment— aa' well to the sympathizing expectant throug as to the imperilled . mad. lint nothing daunted, the stout hearts and ready hands immediately set about the making of another raft, while others were occupied in conveying food and drink to poor Avery, This was easily donein tin cases, attached to stout cords, which were ' ItfS'Quftibrjr albie point of rock with keeu relish,"and then stood up and bowed his Again aud again the cheering words, “ Wo will save you,” were exhibited, and he was encouraged by other short sen tences la his unlive language, which were m the same way paiuted in. huge letters aud held up to him. The ufteruoou slowly wore ou—the long, but listless summer afternoon there at Niagara, usually devoted toiciliugover iced drinks in the shade of the hotel porches and parlors, but uow cheerfully given up to the assUtauce of, or sympa thy for, a fellow being. There were hundreds in that crowd, who, prompted by that spirit of Ameri euu chivalry which is never wanting among us, would cheerfully have plunged in to his rescue, could the act have been any other than useless fool-hardiness;, and.there were wealthy meu there, who went through the crowd under the deep*, est souse of emotion, offering large re wards to whoever would ■ rescue him. — The telegraph had by this time carried the news fur and wide; the afternoon papers iu New York on this day contain ed it, and the afternoon trains from Buf falo and Rochester came freighted with hundreds more to view the peril of the poor Gorman for themselves. The building of the second raft pro gressed, but, although everything was done to hasten it, darkness found it un finished, and the crowd unwillingly dis persed for the night. The Omniscient alone can toll bow that poor, foriorii soul passed the night, dreary hours that in tervened beiore morning sleepless from necessity—weary, lonely, with the water raging like unchained beasts all around him, and the great abyss of terror yawn ing almost at his feet. Home sweet hope must have sustained him iu that trying lime, or the morning would have found him dead there upon the rock of his dreadful exile. Daylight came, and with It-the eager crowds hastened back to the points of sight. The iucomin*/ trains all that day brought more and more spectators, and before noon, the bridge was literally crowned with them, leaving but a small space in the centre for, the workmen with the raft; and on either side the bank was lined—nay, packed—with spec tators. There were thousands upon thousands present, all eager, curious and yet sympathetic. Avery appeared as on the day before, still hopeful, eating and drinking what was sent down to him, motioning with his bauds and arms, and watching all that was done on the bridge and the shore. The. crisis of the excitement arrived when, about the middle of the second day, the second raft was launched from tue bridge upon the hurraing flood.— SStrougand willing bands held the ropes, and it was cautiously lowered until it al most touched the spot where the casta way stood. With a bound be placed himselt erect on the >aft; and then arose such u shout of rejoicing from the lips of that multitude that It was beard even above the roaring of the waters. It was a-short-lived Joy. The ropes were manned by all the hands that Could find place, and the raft struggled up & little way .in the teeth of the’ rapids, and then a furious volume of water broke over and upon it, washing it from end to e id, and hurling Avery bodily Into the rapids I One faint, desperate hope re mained to him, as the irresistible current hurled him down, be might, by stout swimming; make the'shore of Chapin’s island, some rods below, and to the west of him. It was a furious, terrible strug gle lor life; aud. while the multitude held their breath and looked on. It seemed at first os though the man might still save himself* He almost reached the shore of the little island but he never gained It.— Home said that the bush upon which he laid his hand broke lu his grasp, others thought that hla strength left him, when a few more strokes Would have saved him. Ho yielded himself to the fury of the rapids, aud an Instant later his body was hurled over the fatal abyss, amid the shudders ami groans of the heart-sick spectators. Those who were nearest the spot where he went over, werecortaln that hisdylug shriek of horror aud.uespair, articulated the name, Mary. Behind time—the back of a clock.; VOL. 56.—N0. 23, COMING TO THE CITT,' I 11 I Many excellent men, among whom I Mr. Greoly la conspicuous, have made It I a point to dissuadeyoung men from tear- I log the country, to come to tbe city. We I have no doubt whatever that to (he man this advice is sound. It probably has very little client, however, for.our young | men, as well as older ones, are much more apt to learn from what they see than from what they hear. Advice is very good so long as it lies in tbe road of inclination, and we are all glad enough to follow it if we have already deoided'tu do so before it reaches us, but practice goes much farther with the best—or the worst—of us than precept. When Mr. Greeley says, “Boys, stay at home and work the farm,” the natural response is, why did you not do so? Mr. Greeley’s “Becollectlons of a Busy Life” are far too 1 potent to be overcome by any special ad vice he may vouchsafe to others, looking 1 <n the direction he did not travel. And ! we very much doubt If, when the adven turous boy had packed Ids bandana hand kerchief aud.swung it across his shoulder en route , per shank’s horse, for New York,• anybody's advice would have stayed his ardor, or made the implements of husbandry which he now so warmly extols more precious in sight. A fore shadowed destiny, and an irrepressible deal re to combat and overcome difficul ties which others deemed formidable, would baye overborne the most earnest counsel aijftl the tendorest solicitude. And the fact that, in ids single instance, per sonal courage and persistent etlbrt' were so richly rewarded by coming to the city, has had more to do with bringing ambi tious and worthy young men hither, than anything or everything which he may say will have In beeping them away. Mr. j Greeley came to New York to seek his J fortune. He had no assurance of saccess. I It was ail a chance, and he knew It. He was willing to take that chance, because, in bis judgment, itseemed the most likely of anything to answer the yearnings of his heart, and to open the way to future I usefulness. If, alter an honest effort, he had failed, he would by no means have become desperate and thrown himself away. Like a sensible boy, as he was, he would have said : “New York is not the place for me—l’ll go elsewhere.” And he would have gone, and his mark would have been made all the same. There is nothing wrong iu young men' trying their luck in a large city, If they have the sense to know when they have failed of their purpose, and the moral courage to act upon the knowledge. One of the last things we would attempt to do would be to urge young men hither to the detriment of any fair prospect else- | where; or, in fact, to urge them hither at all j but there is no disguising the fact that a large city has many substantial at tractions for sober, intelligent, virtuous young men, and that such persons are very much needed here. If any one will take the pains .to look overtbelist of men who have stamped themselves upon the great enterprises of this city; of men who are connec.ed with the important move ments of the day, and whose names stand at the head of all the beuefioient work which reflects, so much honor upon our city and the country at large, be will see that they comprise a very largo majority of country reared young men, who came hither, as did Mr. Greeley, to seek their fortunes. Their example is very properly held up for the emulation i f those who come after, and In citing it wesbduld not attempt to cover up the fact that to them, at least, a large city affords opportunities which they would not have been so like ly to encounter elsewhere. The country and the city are alike open to the best energies of our young men and women, and each should have the p-iviiege to use his or her gifts to the tn rhohAat. Speech of A Chippewa Chief. There was an Indian council held re- ceutly by IJout, Col. J. H. Knight, iu tbeUbippewa country, at wbicb a lead ing chief, Black Bird, made ah earoeat speech iu support of a claim against tbe United States Government for between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars. Tbe chief , bod the facts upon his side, as the Government records show, and he plead bis cause with great ingenuity, as the following extract from his speech will show : “My Father— l greet you. I also, through you, great our Great Father. 1 also greet our Great Father in the skies, who has given us health, by which .we live and express our thoughts. My name is known in all these parts. My name is Black Bird, in whose mouth there is no lie. A lie never has had a p ace in ray, mouth since I was born.— We utter nothing against our Great Father nor his agent.

If a man was dead and; laid In his coffin before them they have almost power and skill sufficient to bring him to life again. If his lawyers (legislators) have a glove not scented to their taste they will pull it off and throw it away. We are poor and have claims unsettled against our Great Father, and we have been robbed of our laud£. It is my desire that our Great Father and his lawyers shall make these things right with my people. We think the lands still belong 10 ps. We have never sold the lands. When our Great Father shall have made these things right with our people we will be satisfied—thou and not until then. How can tho whlteman ex pect to enter the skies that are now list ening to us if tbesa things are not made right? It is our desire that our Great Fuiher and his lawyers shall make these things right. Then the Great Spirit will smile upon them. This Is all I have to say, I have great faith in you, and that, you will assist us iu getting our Great Father to let us go to Washington and settle our matters.

"One day when I and my brotfaer went into tfae woods, be shot a oblchen-bawk f and a crow, and while we were tolling la tfae sfaade under a tree lie pulled the tails out of the birds, and then, fooling round -and talking, be dually built the crow’s' tall Into the chicken-hawk's transom. When we saw what a neat Job it was we thought we would keep it, when we got home we were late for supper, and wo Just dropped it on the porch and rushed tn. Wo had a sort of sneaking hope that the old man and out uncle would get bit •vith itany way, because they wereatways pottering over geology or natural history, or something they didn’t know anything about. While we were at supper, they came along and lound the bird, and we beard them discussing It and talking all sorts of astonishment. Directly the old man came in—having the bird by the leg, and says : “Boys, where did you get this bird "Shot him in the woods, Sir.” “Did you ever come across any bird like this around herb before ?” “No, sir this 1s the first.” "Boysfio you- know what you’ve done V■ You’ve discovered something that will make you known everywhere- The bird is of a new species.” And then bo walked out, and we heard him and uncle cone . • • that they would label it with their o,...'names aud send ■ it to Pfolessor Hageubaum, at Albany. Pretty soon, though, the old 'man took hold of the tail aod it pulled out, and we heard both of them swear a little. When we came out the bird was lying on one side of the fence aud the tail on the oth er.. We did not dare to laugh, inr to let on about hearing their talk, eit or.' But about a. month after i nis there came along one of the rattiest specimen of a boy you ever saw, aud wanted to stop with us. He was ail rags and tatters, and tired out with runniug away from bis madrer somewhere. His shirt was hang ing at half-mast through his' trousers, and two-thlrda of the tail of it was a. piece of blue flannel that had been sewed on. While the poor devil was eating his dinner, uncle and the old man wore studying up what they had better do with him. And finally they said, (Jeorge! thop didn’t know what to do v with him.” Just then the boy rose anti swung his colors in view, and, brother Bob soys: “Father, you might send him to Pro fessor Hageubaum. at Albany. It was. tub-first the old man know we had oveiheard the bird talk, and so be whaled us both.
