Stroudsburg, July 7, 18G4.
The Geysers on the Yellow Stone.
After passing by a fine cascade which
we stopped but a short time to examine
we forded the river and camped about
noon in the midst of the most wonderful
geysers yet discovered in any country
The basin in which they are situated is
over two miles long, and about a mile
wide. It was nearly destitute of vegeta
tion, but there were a few clumps of trees
scattered through it, and in one place we
found grass enough- for our horses.
The basin was chiefly on the west side of
the river, but there was a narrow strip,
with an average width of three hundred
yards, on the east side, which was literally
alive with geysers and steamjets. We
remained two days in this wonderful
basin. The most prominent geysers wc
saw in operation we named as follows :
Old Faithful, which was farthest up the
river on the western bank ; the Castle,
which was a third of a mile below Old
Faithful; the Giant, which was a half
mile below the Castle ; the Grotto, a short
distance below the Giant ; then crossing
the river, lowest down was the Fantail,
and much higher up, nearly opposite Old
Faithful, were the Giantess and Bee hive.
All around the gejserstbe ground was
covered with incrustations and subsilica ;
and immediately about the vent of most
of them the incrustations rose several feet
above the surrounding level, assuming
grotepque and fanciful shapes.
One of the most remarkable geyesers
was the Giantess. For yards around the
ground rose gradually to its crater, but
immediately about it there was no forma
tion rising above the surface, as was the
case with all the other geysers which we
saw in active operation. When quiet, it
was a clear, beautiful pool, caught in a
subsilian urn, or vase, with a hollow,
bottomless stem, through which the stream
came bubbling, just like the effervescence
of champagne from the bottom of a long,
hollow necked glass. The mouth of the
vase, represented by the surface, was
twenty feet by thirty ; and the neck, fifty
feet below, was fifteen feet by ten. The
water, at times, retired to the level of the
neck, or vent, and at other times rose
nearly to the surface. When in action,
the Giantess became a fountain with five
jets, shooting the spary to a height of two
hundred feet. At the surface the largest
jet was about two feet in diameter, and it
kept in a solid column for more than a
hundred and fifty feet before breaking
into drops and spray. It burst forth just
before sunset, and the last rays of light
gave prismatic tints to the glistening
drops, when haviog reached their utmost
altitude, they trembled at their corning
fall. The clouds of steam, which in this,
as in all other instances, accompanied the
boiling water, became a golden fleece lit
up by wreaths of rainbows. Though
inferior to the Giant in immensity of
volume, and perhaps in garndeur, the
Giantess was by far the most beautiful
sight we saw in the geysers basin. Over
land Monthly.
The Columbus Index states that a
gentleman of Lowndes county, Mississippi,
was passing through his field not long ago,
when he saw a large chickenhawk dart
like lightning from the top of a tall tree
upon some object on the ground. Riding
np he saw a sharp combat commence be
tween the hawk and a black snake about
four feet long. In a short time the snake
had wrapped his coils about the neck of
his would be devourer, and notwithstand
ing its struggles and frequent dartings
several feet in the air, maintained his
hold, until the bird finally sunk back, a
victim of strangulation.
A gentleman was seated with other
persons in a room where a country girl
set bolt upright and utterly silent. - Sil
ence, indeed, fell upon the entire party,
and the gentleman fist alluded to said, in
what he supposed to be an almost inaud
able tone of voice,
"Awful pause 7"
"Well, Mister," exclaimed the indign
ant country lass, jumping up, "you'd have
awful paws, too, if you had to do the
scrubbing that I do."
"First class in Geography come up.
Bill Toots, what is a cape ?"
"A thing that mother wears over hear
shoulders."
"What's a plain 7"
"A tool used by carpenters for smooth
ing off boards."
"What's a desert?"
"Its goodies after dinner."
"ThatMl do Bill ; I'll give you your
goodies after school is dismissed."
A German friend of ours, says an ex
change, got his dander up the other day,
upon the arrival of a second pair of twins,
and said to his family physician : "Ov
you blecse, doctor, it is pettcr that a
schtop be boot to dese dings. Von bair
of dwins, I dinks, is alles recht, but more
as dat is blaid owit, dou't it? Pat's vot's
do matter mit me. You know how it ish
myself."
A little Boston girl joyfully assured
her mother the other day that she had
found out whero they made horses "she
had seen a man in a shop just finishing
one of them, for he was nailing on his
last foot."
"Now, my little boys and girls," said a
teacher. want vou to bo verv. still, so
f- f
still that you can hear a pin drop."
V .It 1 1
In a moment all was ?uent ; wnen a
littla boy shrieked out,
"Let her drop."
Windows Flowers.
It is much to be regretted that window
flowers are not so often seen as they once
were. It cannot be that the taste for
beauty is declining. It is rather that the
arrangements of modern housekeeping
make flowers in the way of convenience.
Yet why not make windows to suit ?
The demands of modern society are all
well in their way, but surely they need
not be so imperatively exclusive as to
banish all floral adornments from our taste
ful houses.
Ihe introduction of heaters, had some
influence in driving flowers from our sitting-rooms,
but coal, as a gas-light, haa
been our worst enemy ; yet these can be easi
ly kept in place. Bay windows now have
an inside enclosure of glass, making a
kind of cabinet, as it were, and in this
the plants grow to perfection. But this
arragngement is not essential. A friend,
whose window is at all times gay with
blossoms, and whose success is the envy
of all the neighbors, has nothing but a
broad window sill, and she has the win
dow curtains so arranged, that they fall
between the room and the plants. The
lace 'curtains are down day and night,
and the damask over only at night. This
seems entirely sufficient to prevent injury
from gas and dry air no plants can pos
sibly be earlier than hers are.
Cultivate the Corn.
Constant cultivation cannot be too
strongly urged for the corn-crop. As soon
as the blade appears above ground, pass
through the rows with a harrow made for
the purpose, or with the cultivator. Con
stant stirriDg of the soil will destroy the
young weeds and push the corn ahead.
A week thus gained may save the crop
from an injurious fro3t when Dear ripen
ing. An excellent implement for this
purpose is Shares' horse-hoe ; with it a
careful hand may cut out the weeds to
within an inch of the growing corn. By
going twice in a row the crop may be ef
fectually hoed, and much hand-weeding
saved. The soil does not need stirring
deeply; one inch is sufficient; deeper
would injure the corn roots, which love
to spread near the surface. For this rea
son all deep cultivation should be avoid
ed. The surface should be kept level ;
the crop will thrive better than by bury
ing the roots under a ridge of soil ; there
fore, keep the plow out of the cornfield.
This crop requires heat and moisture,
and a level, mellow, porous surface will
secure these. A soil packed with rain
and baked by the hot sun, cannot be en
dured ; therefore, if a heavy rain should
occur, followed by dry weather, turn in
at once to the exclusion of all else, and
break up this crust.
How to Keep Butter Sweet
It is the easiest thing in the world.
Simply put in clean jars, and cover with
a strong brine. This will keep pure but
ter a .year, fresh and sweet, as we know
by experience. It is almost equally good
to put in oak casks, headed tight. This
is equivalent to canning fruit. The brine,
in case of jars, acts as a beading, keeping
the air out. But butter should be made
well ; we have never experimented on
poor butter. Work out the butter milk,
till you have only pure "beads," clear as
rain water ; but do not work so much as
to break the grain, in which case you
have a tough, heavy article in winter, and
grease in summer. Such butter, we ad
vise no one to try to preserve.
Two Dutch farmers in Canada, whose
farms wero adjacent, were out in their re
spective fields, when one heard an un
usually loud hallooing iu the direction of
a pap iu a high stone wall, and ran with
all speed to the place, and the following
brief conversation ensued :
"Sohn, vat ish te matter?"
"Veil, den," says John, "I was trying
to climb on te top of dish big stone, wall,
and I fell off, and all te stone wall tum
bled down onto me, and has broken ono
of my legs off, and part of my arms, smash
ed my rib in, and dese pig stones are lay
ing on te top of mine pody."
"Ish dat all 7" says the other ; "vy, yon
hollow so big loud I tot you got te toof
ache." "Tatoes 1" cried a darkey peddler in
llichmond. "Hush dat racket you .dis
tracts de whole neighborhood," came from
a colored woman in a door-way. "You
kin hear me, kin you ?" "Hear you ! I
kin hear you a mile." "Thank God for
dat I is hollowin' to be heard tatoes !"
A young lady, recently married to a
farmer, one day visited the cow-houses,
when she thus interrogated her milk
maid, "By the by, Mary, which of these cows
is it that gives the buttermilk 7"
An Iowa paper tells of a smart wife
who helped her husband to raise seventy
acres of wheat. The way she helped him
was to stand in the door and shako a
broom at him when he sat down to rest.
