..J uolioeo some time ago, tW a nOws>

Inadequate to the task of painting their '

levoid of interest, . 1

raggAgo and tents, so that they can *
amp out, like tlie roving liedouins of 1
lie desert* and live independent of the *
esouroes uf lb# Country through which I
hey pass. * - - . I
The scenery thinnghout the whole '
:ouutry is variegated and wild, abound 1
ng in high hills and deep gorge*, and '
he soil i? barren, and lit for little but '
rraziirg. \Ye had in our company a *

alrd, and who has since died ?*f conumptiou.?his

he tremendous pile of rocks, and at the
rhtte, changing and ntistv veil floating

in awe-stricken child.
We were all unite?turpi i*ed?-I, fi>r
>ne, grew hi eat hies*. The stream is
caicely wider than a livuM?one could
mi*ily pas* it at a Lottnd ; It Hows on
>ver a rocky bed, murmuring and gurg
ing. By and by, all n sudden, it reachis
the sbatp edge of a perpendicular
helve of r"ck, nearly two hundred feel
iigh, and isjnstantly broken into a veil
if silvery And. rainbow spanned inist,
vhicb comes floating down, down, lookng
more like n vast Initial veil than
inything I could think of. It falls,
linking rain like music in the deep balin
below, and tlien it resumes its iivuet
flow, and bobbles on as noiselessly
tnd insignificant n? before. The rocks,
.vhfch come atottnd in the shape of an
im phi I heat re, nre covered with woods,
tnd there, in utter sol ft tide, this wild
ilfiu thing plays on. .AVhcn did it be
^in its fairy dance ? It is wholly,and
ixquisitcly "Beautiful." The Indian, 1
bad he sought all languages through.
;oulJ not have found another word so 1
spprop.iale. i
At the first glance she took in the *
whole spiiit of the scene, nnd christened
it aright: " Tucson, the Beautiful /" t
We, however, added to tlio iiHtne bo- <
Fore we left, and called it the " Bride I
f tko Woods!" If the volume of wh- |
ler was greater, the scene would he <
ajrand ; as it ia, it is only beautiful.? i
llreen inosees grow ard hang trailing <
From the orcjviceeof the rocks, and when t
the winds shift for a moment the spray,
they seem looking green and luxuiiant, ;

A ItitAVc Woman.?The special cor|

the following good story of a Tennessee
matron's coolness under fire.
I The occupants of Craven'o bouse are
mostly females, and, although the place
has been persistently shelled s;nce the
Federals opened, fire, and from tep to
fifteen projectiles have passed through
the premises, the ladies have determined
uot to budge an inch ; and you kuow
thii couplet,
I \Ylu?n a woman will. rIia will on't
And wh'n she won't, she won't, ntid that's
the end on't.
In this case u she won't." A few
lavs ago while the. shelling- was the
heaviest, and our men weie " skedaddling"
adioss the lino of lire as industriously
as their locomotive apparatus
would permit, the ladies were coolly
preparing for dinner. Oue of the aur?
geoni| who was in the house, says that
while he waa-ihere a fragment penetrated
one of the rooms. Wiikont being
in the least disconcerted, the Tennessee
matron spoke up in a tone very tnuch
like that in which she would reprove*

" Elira, go in there and see what's damaged

A Feat wobtht os: Fouk Feet.?
The Atlanta (Kooxville) Kcgister re.
porta the following :
J. J. Gray, of the Engineer corps,
| laat Saturday evening performed a remaskable
feat. Out* bet of ninety, doljars
he walked "on all fours," without
straightening hiriuelf one mile in Ikree
quarter4 of an'hour J We w itnessed
the last quarter. Mr. Gray was lively,
and ran the last ten steps with ease,
and seemed to be quite elated at bis
success. The " walk " was performed
on Ann-stroet. We have often heard
of this feat, but never knew it to be accomplished
before.
Very few persona, outside of the
.friends of Mr. Gray, were present.
This is another pi oof ef the powet of
endurance of the human body when encasing
the will to do it. 'i ' *
If merit was properly considered, Mr:
J. J. Gray- would soon be promoted to
tho office and Amotions of a pack horse.
Mxasissirrt Legislature.?A bill is

The Committee on Education have reported
against the passage of a bill to '
authorize the Trustees of the- public

In PRK68SI rntb?It appears from ft
General Order of the War Department,
recently issued for public information, * 1
that no impressing officer has a right
to impress supplies Which a man baa
for the consumption of himself, bis fam*
j i!y, employees or sJav6*; nor, unless
specially ordered to do so by a Geueral
commanding, in a case of exigency, impress
supplies which are on their w>y
to market for sale on ariival ; nor to impress
any necessaries of subsistence to
man^owned by producers, in transitu to
market, or after arrival at market unlees
retained an unreasonable lime from sate
to consumers.
The Fayetleville Observer says : We
think these orders are in conflict with
some of the impressments made itrfhis
town, and which have bad so inju:ioua
an effect upon the business of the place,
in preventing produce fnom coming to
