TRIP OF THE JOSEPHINE.
The lute stcniffboat exi>t'illtlon up
the Yellowstone has ileeijed soveittl
quontiono eolli emIHK that lenuti ka
j hie river which may lead to an early
1 and rapid settlement of the beautiful
valley watered by It. The Josephine
l ascended the river about seven hund
red miles, to a point about soventy
tlvo miles distant from Bozeman, the
count) seat of Gallatin county, Mon
tana. The first two hundred miles,
uupromisinu: for aarioultural pur-,
poses, exhibited in ilu> clayey banks
on either side of the river, continuous
veins of lignite, varying from three
to seven feet, in thickness, which it
was thought would dovolopo into a
good quality of bituminous coal. A
little further on, the valley expanded
into large plains, covered with hunch
grass, bounded by distint foot-hills.
Tin' region is of vast extent, well wa
tered by mountain streams, and easi
ly adapted to profitable cultivation.
! The soil is a rich alluvium of day
and granitic detritus, like that of the
Gallatin valley, which ordinarily
, yields from sixty to eighty bushels of
wheat to the acre. It bus the advan
tage of being from 1,500 to 3,000 feet
i lower in altitude than the other Val
ievs of Montana, thus escaping that
worst enemy to variety of product,
j early frost.
TRIBUTARIES OF THE YELLOWSTONE.
| On her trip up tile river the ./osc
' p/tine explored, as far as practicable,
the country contiguous to those large
tributaries', Tongue river, the Big
Hofu (which it ascended ten miles),
Clark's Fork, and the Bosebud. The
report made by the party is very fa
vorable, and refutes the prevalent be
lief that those streams me hemmed
in by mountain gorges. Tongue riv
er, especially, is bordered by a heavy
growth of foiv'st, with a broad valley
i beyond, l’ompey's Pillar, the ia
mbus landmark of Lewis nod Clark,
! was the virtual head of navigation,
though the boat with difficulty as
rendod twenty-two miles further, to
the month or Pryor’s Greek. This
portion of the valley is narrow and
mountainous, and partakes, in its
general character, of the gold dis
tricts which hate been explored sev
enty-live miles beyond.
GOLD DISTRICTS.
These gold districts are in the
mountains, above all that portion of
the valley infested by the Indians.
They have been successfully worked
by small parties ever since t he organ
ization of Montana Territory; and
since tlic exploration of the Hot
S| Tings ('atnroots and Geysers tit t he
head waters of the river, quite a
number of settlers have been lured
into that region, who have taken pos
session of all the arable land that
could lie* found.
AN INDIAN EM AMI'MENT.
On a beautiful prairie, ten miles
above Pompey’s Pillar, tile ./oxr
\ lihine’x company visited an Indian
encampment, composed <>f friendly
I tribes of Crows, N'ez IVroes, Gros
Ventres and Bannocks, who, to the
number of I.sun. were enjoying the !
hunting and iishlng facilities of this
sequestered paradise. Manyofthem
had never seen a steamboat, and
were curious to examine into the pow
er which gave it motion. Their
horses und ponii - c,,verc(l the valley

buffalo, elk, mount,• tin sheep and an

SCENERY ALOSiO THE liiVEJI.
In picturesque beauty and stupfu
duiis grandeur of scenery, the Yellow
stone is excelled by no river on the
continent. Ten years ago, the writer
of this article was one of a company
i of 500, which made 11 trip to t he States,
i in mackinaws, by way of the Yellow
stone and Missouri. Starting from
i the mouth of a canon, whose vertical
sides rivalled tiie loftiest rocks of
Yoscmite, we glided for the llrsf two
1 days over a continuous rapid, which
| presented on either side all the gor
i geous pheuomeua of a mountain
I country. l!y an easy transition, the
i ranges dwindled into rocks and ridges
or marvellous height and beauty.
I The bends in the river grew into long
reaches, meadows stretched away to
| 1 lie foothills; cotton-wood groves
sprung up at brief Intervals, which,
1 from their regular growth, wore an
j appearance of positive cultivation.
! Largo islands, whose hays and in
j dentations were alive wil h thcscrenin
! ing and quacking of water-fowl, dee
j ocrated the expanding stream with
I their emerald beauty. And as if to
I lend enchantment to a Scene of con
stantly shifting variety, the river
! itself in every 20 or 80 miles of dis
| lance, had forced its passage through
I tiie stupendous yellow sandstone
j ridge, from which it receives its mime.
! At these passages, it required no rn
j markable effort of fancy to transform
the eroded rocks, which rose for miles
on either side to varying heights, into
temples, towns, pinnacles, citadels
and castles, and the vitrilied fracture
of tlieir uniform strata, into the hier
oglyphics of a numerous people. This
kind of seem l y wnssuecceded by out
stretching meadows, covered with
gj-ass, and skirted |,y distant up
lands. The rive, now nearly two
miles in width, ■ as .divided into
numerous chum, ,by inland ; its wa
ters were sluggis. and yellow, and
suddenly it entered between banks
composed of lofty mounds of stratl
lied clay. Every vestige, of vegeta
tion disappeared. Unbroken veins
j of lignite stretched along the batiks
J for miles, sand-bars took the place of
islands, and the whole country pro-
I seated a scene of unrelieved desola
j tion.
The disappearance of the mounds
before reaching its debouchure only
furnished a more complete picture of
the extent of thi.s melancholy region.
Far as the eye could reach across the
seamed and riven valley of ashen
clay, it. saw huge tables arid pyramids
reddened by the fires of a former
era. A belt of cottonwoods stretch
ing for a few miles along the banks,
conceals this picture, and gives to the
broad, deep river an inviting aspect
at its junction.

! Next to its grandeur and variety,
the novelty of the Yellowstone forms

zens. The allegation that she is per
fectly sane and that her imprison

and is known to be, utterly untruo by
those who are familiar with tho cir
cumstances. At tho timo she was
placed in the institution at Batavia
herinsanity was very marked, though
ns is usually tho case it was not ap
parent at all times. Since she has
boon under treatment she lias shown
some improvements, and it is thought
probable she will be allowed to visit
hor sister at Springfield. Like ull in
sane persons, she is in full possession
of her reason, and letters written by
her to meddlesome persons in this

is Improperly restrained of her lib

A CurloiiM Pension Dikc.
Washington, August 24.—The fol
lowing curious case has come up be
fore the Commissioner of Pensions,
upon which he has just rendered a
decision:
A woman in Tennessee who had
been married, and whoso husband de
serted hor in 1800, was married again
in 1862 to another man without nu ac
tual divorce; the second husband be
came a soldier, and died in 1805. In
187;), tiio Legislature of Tennessee
passed an act legalizing tho last mar
riage, and tho woman now is an ap
plicant for a pension, as the widow
of her soldier husband.
The Commissioner held that as tho
first parties had not been divorced at
tlie time of tho death of the soldier,
when tho claim, if any, occurred, the
woman was not the lawful wife of the
soldier, and that the act of tlie Ten
nessee Legislature being retroactive,
is unconstitutional, und would be
void if it applied to the claim.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one graiu of Vaccine Virus, taken from tho
cow’s udder and kept dry for years, then mois
tened, and the keenest point of a.Lancet dipped
in it and drawn gently on tho arm, §o as not to
draw tho blood, will bo Impregnate and change
tho ontiro system as to prevent tho party bo vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome of dis
cuses (small pox) for an entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not tho
proper remedy, properly applied, ncutraliKe and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable, parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it. and applied it, and proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchyiuial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may Inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any disease* arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, BUlious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Coustqiation and Hem
orrhoids, and tlia it will cure all tbe above dis
eases, except tho worst cuscs of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects the humors of tbe oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per orm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria in
the least.
It has been tried iu thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can bo obtained from tho proprietor! in
auy quantity at the Powell Building, junction of
Bread and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price fur a single Belt $3, or $6 with a guaran
tee that it will cuie or the money refunded.

is stamped upon them.

Atlanta, Ga., June 6, 1875.
Messrs. Lovk k Willson: Gentlemen—lu April
last 1 was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run on mo for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite and dear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague,l would want one of your Fads,
ami no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate as to have Chills aud Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,
W. J. Wilson.

On the first day of December last I was taken
with ChiUs and Fever in Thomasvllte, Southwes

eminent physicians who were üble to Btop it ouly
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the 11m stages of consumption,
wh eu I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
sou’s Auti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
me. I have hail but one chill since, and that was
the first day after putting it on. lam now iu * M
good health us 1 ever was iu my lile, and think
this Belt a Gwd-seud to the afflicted.

Some nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever siuce, until I suet up with Drs. Love k
Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. I have worn it continually, and have had no
