by the United States Government and
presented to the State Of California,
with the stipulation that its vast area
should forever be reserved and gunid-
ed as a National Park. In carrying
out firs agreement, therefore, the
clearings have been extended, moun
tain roads and bridle-paths been built,
and the means of access by railroad
stage and ‘mule-back’ made more easy
nl comfortable, as the increasing
crowds of visitors from all parts of the
world seek to view these grand and
wonderful combinations of mountain,
river and cataract scenery.
Although these Yoseinite wonders
astonish all who first behold them, yet
the scenes become more impressive as
the stay is prolonged. Unlike the
merely beautiful, which soon satisfies
the eye, the mind here drinks deeper
and deeper; so that it requires days
and months for the mind to take in {
and appreciate such scenes, even
when the eye rests upon them—it be
comes a hopeless task to accomplish
this end by written description.
Such seems to have been the feel
ings experienced by the distinguish
ed traveler and author, Charles Nord-
lioff, who writes: “I had read every
thing that I critald lay my hands upon,
yet when I came to see the valley it
was as though I had never read a. line
concerning it, All I had read .passed
out of my mind iu the presence of
those stupendous rocks; alT-I had seen
wis as nothing compared with the
grand white scarred granite face of El
Capitnn, which rears it precipitous
sides 3,300 feet above the level along
which you ride. It is not a mere rock
or summit hat a vast wall, nearly two
miles broad, which seems to dominate
(lie valley as yon ride on either trail,
and whose grandeur grows upon you
with every step your horse take®.”

taking the direction of the five branch

to it.
The waterfalls are ten in number, as
given by Nordhoff,and although some
contain but a small quantity of water,
yet, when we compare their lieigut
with that of Niagara, which- is only

must have friends. They need not lie

friends great care is necessary. There
must be some common bond of sympa

sufficient. A weakly person, ah inva-

Best, with its long sides sloping to

the east it famishes a perpendicular
wall to the valley nearly one half a
mile high. Its summit j is one mile
above the valley, and from it an excel
lent view is obtained Beyond this is
seen the top of South Dome. This is
one of the grandest mountains in the
valley when viewed from a. proper
point/ Looking upon it from the south
-its top appears a complete dome, and,
polished, by the Almighty hand, it
stands defiantly glistening arid glim-
meririg against the sky.
Between North and South Dome lies'
Mirror Lake; and, untouched by.the
fierce storms, it reflects thermountains
standing around, which look more
beautiful in their inverted appear

Beyond arid in the distance, are seen
mountains rolling higher and still
higher, furnishing one -of the most
sublime prospectives ever produced.

Nevada Fall is terrible. For 700
feet it leaps from point to point, roar

is like Niagara. The spray rolls out
into the.-valley, so dense at times as t.o
hide from view the fall itself. In this
spray you sraud shut out from the en

wild and terrible roar, while the sun
surrounds you in a halo of its own
glory. Go, stand by Mirror Lake,
look up nearly one mile to the sum

breadth of about one mile, covered
with grasses and wild flowers in. their

"The Salary tl'nib -History.
The Baltimore Sun’s correspondent
from Washington has some interesting
particulars regarding back salaries
since the formation of the government.
He says;
The secretary of the Senate, in obe
dience to an order of the body,has al
ready commenced gathering all the at
tainable information • on this subject
from the foundation of the government
down to date, which will be laid be
fore Senators when the bill coiriSs up
so as to assist them in forming a pro
per judgment. It seems that there
have been six instances in history of
the government where Congress has
voted to itself hack pay with the ex
ecutive approval. The first act- on the
subject was passed September 52,
1789, provided for. seven months back
pay, and was approved by George
Wakington, the pay being small both
for the men. arid ihe times: The' sec
ond was passed March 19, ISIS, gave
twelve months hack pay, and was ap
proved by James Madison unders-sim-
iiar ciremristances. The third act- was
passed December 1, 1817, gave two
months back pay, and was approved
by James Monroe. The
passed August 16;. 1856,
Hon. Alex.-Hi Stephens yesterday
surprised the House and the country
by a thoughtful, sincere, philosophical
and erroneous defense of the back-pay
business. It is entirely possible to re
spect ability and to deplore the uses to
which it is put. It is entirely possible
to concede the good faith of Mr. Steph
ens and not to abate a jot <5f detesta
tion felt against the retroactive com
pensation of Congressmen. Mr. Steph
ens is an intellectual giant but in argu
ment no man is stronger than the cause
he exponses and Mr. Stephens lim
ited his strength when he assumed the
weak side of a purely moral question.
It is also n.ofc difficult to Understand
why Mr. Stephens by the accidents
of circnmstances and the qualities and
habits of ; his genius would almost ice
vitabiy get on the defective-side of the
question. Mr. Stephens is au antique
He represents a grateful and devoted
constituency—that is grateful and de
voted to him—a constituency habitu
ated to be instructed by their repre
sentative men; not; addicted to the in
struction of' themselves. That fact
divorces a Congressman from the live
ly sense of feeling which contact with
sensitive and critical constituents in
spires. The corruptions of carpet
baggery have so locally affected the
South that it has paid little attention
to the exclusively Federal corruptions
of which the effect is distributed upon
the nation at large. The special in
formation laid before prosperous sec
tions of Congressional misdoing-^Is not
much dwelt upon by a people wrest-
tling with the problems and facts of
unprecedented plunder directly im
posed upon themselves. The agitation
which has prevailed throughout the
North on the back pay business has
therefore, not percolated through the
South. That the course taken was
purely and legal and constitutional, as
all admit—has been enough for a
community intensely prone to measur
ing matters entirely by that standard.
The moral side of the question has not
been brought home to. them, for they
have neither time Aior interest in the
discussion of the- moralities of other
wrongs than the legion under which
they are harrowed. Mr. Stephens is
a man of the closet rather than the
public, despite, his long identification
with Federal and Confederate affairs.
He philosophises on past rather than
reflects on present matters. He is by
nature: adverse to the tyranny of pub
lic opinion, which is as complete when
it is right as it is wrong. Ho dedicates
to his public duties all his gifts and
time, conscienciously. His ideas of
remuneration are as ample as his con
ception of his duties is single. He is
a strict constructionist. Than the
constitution there is no higher law to
him. He finds a back-pay measure
constitutional—-he .does not think the
.figures excessive. The two facts are
enough for him, and all the fuss which
has been made about it stings him to
opposition rather than endorsment.
Hence the point at which lie came out-
yesterday—as far away from what was
A correspondent, writing from Gam
yonville, sends us the following inter
esting incident, which occurred near
that place:
About ten days since Henry Bland
and his wife, of Canyonville Precinct,
went-ont into the mountains to look
after, their sheep. When about three
miles from home his two dogs got af
ter a bear, and after a severe chase,
succeeded in compelling the bear to
climb a tree. About the time that
Mr. B. and his wife reached the foot
of the tree, another ferocious bear
suddenly put in an appearance and
savugely attacked the dogs in the im-
medaite presence of Mr. and Mrs. B.
The fight now became animated and
furious, dogs and bear. roUiog--. owi- t i Aon mpn. flT| d divided into six

a steep mountain into the canyon be
low. Bland was armed with a Henry
rifle, but dared not shoot for fear of
killing his dogs. Now eame the ques
tion how to rescue the dogs; only two
cartridges were in the rifle, and these
bad to be used to the best advantage.
Mrs. Bland urged her husband to go
to the assistance of ihe dogs, while
she alone and unarmed, undertook to
beep the ferocious monster up the
tree. He started down into the can
yon to where the conflict was raging
guided by the growls and yelps of the
dogs and bear. He arrived n ot a mo
ment too soon, for Bruin was evident
ly getting the best of it, and would
only be pacified by the last shot from
the now empty rifle.
It was dark when Bland returned to
his wife at the foot of tee- tree. The
situation was anything hut flattering.
The empty rifle was of little use, and'
upon Ihe resolution of Mrs. Bland to
sit up with the bear, he started for
home for more aminnnition. The la
dy being reinforced by the bleeding
dogs, now felt that she was mistress
of the situation. With no fire, far
from home, in the m idst of craggy
monntaiEs, this indomitable lady dar
ed to hold at bay one of the most fero
cious monsters of the forest. The
bear, not liking his new home, deter-
minad to descend the tree, but onr
heroine, with a stick and the harking
of the dogs, compelled Bruin to take
a sober second thought, .and taking up
his position on a lower limp, with eye
balls of fire lie stared at the scene be
low. But onr huntress was not dis
mayed by the presence of her horri
ble romoauion, but stood guard until
about ten o’nloak, when her. husband
and another man came to her assist
ance. She ihen started for home
through the deep canyons and gorges
and it was midnight when she sorely
arrived at her own dwelling.
The next morning, as soon as it was
sufficiently light, the bear was shot.—
He proved to be one of the largest of
those known as the cinnamon variety.

city and occupied tha market place and
.other principal points.
7 At 3 o’clock they began to set fire
to the houses and at the same time the
vessels in the harbor opened on. the
place but without doing any^ujury
save to the buildings. In summing
up the result of the operation, the re
port says that more than half of the
city was destroyed, including thirty
stores belonging to Spaniards. Twen
ty-four rifles, 8,000 cartridges, a J^rge
amount of gold and Spanish bank
notes, and an immense anantity of
clothing aiul'provisions were, captured
and carried rway. It is calculate.,
that merchandise to the value of §1,-
000,000 was burned. The Spanish loss
in killed and wounded is estimated at
200. The Cnbans lost thirteen officers
killed and sixty privates. The same
report says that on the 20th of Novem
