THE GE.H OF THE SIERRA>. A Lake that Nooi . nnil Never Civt* Cp it* Dead. % Truckee, Cah, is a thriving railroad town, and the starting point for Luke Talioe?called the "Gem of the Sierras." The road from Truckee winds along Truckee river up a canyon bearing the same name. It is fourteen miles long, and a succession of fine views the whole length of the road. The snow-clad Sierras arc ou our right, and beautifully timbered hills on each side of the river. A few miles up the canyon a successful fish farm is in operation, where tens of thousands of trout can be seen in every stage of a trout's existence. As we reach the head of the canyon we find we are also at the outlet, or head of the Truckee river, j whose waters, like the other rivers of Nevada, are lost in siuks. None of them have an outlet iuto the ocean. The view as we emerge from the cauyon is beautiful. The broad expanse of the ! majestic lake lies before us, encircled on all sides by towering mountains. Half of the lake is in Nevada, the other half j in California. It is twenty-eight miles long and from twelve to sixteen miles wide, and has been sounded to a depth of 1,600 feet. Its waters are a beautiful ultramarine, and it may be called the purest water in the world, containing by analysis only four per cent, of impuri-1 ties. It is so light and mobile as to be easily lashed into foam or calmed to a mirror-like surface. In the early morn-! ing it is like a looking-glass, with j surrounding objects reflected in it with surprising accuracy. Several steamers of small tonnage are used in navigating it. Its altitude is about 6,00C feet; it is always fcool and pleasant in the hottest weather. The lake never freezes, and it never gives up its dead. No person that was drowned has been known to rise to the surface. Wood, as soon a3 it is satu-; rated, sinks to the bottom. The water is as clear as crystal, and huge rocks fifty feet down are plainly discernible, j In fact, it is a marvel, and the very con- J trast of our own Salt Lake; for that is so dense and sluggish as to offer great A. Al . 1 1_ - "1? J I i esiBwmue to ine numan oouy, anu everything else that will float. The finest place on the lake is Emerald , bay. Ben Holladay owns a beautiful. place at the head of it?a very neat residence in a shady nook, with the snowclad summits of the Sierras for a background, and a magnificent waterfall for the middle distance. The foreground is , everything an artist can desire. Near by ; is the beautiful little islet called the i Emerald isle, on which an old salt called j Sailor Dick built a home and a grave where he intended to be buried should he die on land, but he got on a drunken . spree and sunk, to rise no more, in the lake. The property is now in charge of another seaman called Sailor Jack. He may properly be called the hermit of Emerald bay, for there in the deep re-j cesses he lives, without the society of any other human being, his only companions being three dogs and four cats. He is indeed a curiosity, but the soul of good nature. Old Dick's fate seems to have set him thinking, for he is a total abstainer now. The 6tory of his conversion is worth being told. He relates that on one occasion, when crossing the lake, a squall upset his small boat. Down he went with it, he says, seven j feet. He swam to the surface and grasped firmly his demijohn of whiskey in one hand and the upset boat. in the other. He thought, "now, this might be j my last drink, and as it is cold, I will j take a swallow." He then took a look at the favorite bottle and hesitated to throw away so much good liquor, and thinking it was cold, thought he would try yet | another, and there, on a cold, dark night, with the prospect of death staring him in the face, he vowed to take his ; last drink of firewater. This resolution he has firmly kept. A cascade of surprising beauty is seen at the head of the bay. It is over 100 ! feet high. The towering masses of rock on each side make a beautiful setting for j this shower of pearls. Beggars in Tnuis. A day or two after my landing, says the Rev. N. Davis, I rode out to view the surrouuding country, and was rejoiced to espy, a mile from the town, a 'few Arab tents. To these I shaped my course, and, on reaching them, I was quickly surrounded by a number of Arab women, and a score or two of urchins, ! quite unencumbered of garments. They j roared out a host of sentences quite un-! intelligible to me (as I was then quite 1 ignorant of the Arabic language), but ! 11 A 1_.' 1 il ineir pantomime soon expiainea me na-1 ture of their demands. The little money I had in my pocket was quickly distri buted. I made signs, but this by no: means checked their importunities. On j the contrary, being addicted to telling ; falsehoods from their very infancy?and that even for purposes where their object might easier be secured by honest truth?they form the same estimate of ; others. The gibberish, which their accompanying gestures at first explained as being of an exploring character, now changed into shouts and menaces. Their vociferations were explained by grin- ! ning, clenched fists, by arming them-! selves with sticks, and running in every direction for a supply of stones. In vain did I employ all possible efforts, by most expressive gesture, to convince them of the truth that I had given them all the money I had with me. They insisted upon having more, and one old hag actually threatened to hurl an immense stone at mv head, so that I was obliged to have recourse to a very peculiar contrivance to extricate myself from this critical situation. My horse had a strange knack of rearing and kicking when touched on his back just behind the saddle; and though by no means a very agreeable sensation, and not without considerable danger to the rider, I found this the only means of escape. I gave the magic touch, and in an instant the animal plunged and went through j his wild antics. The women rushed to j their tents, and I escaped. The Declaration of Independence in Blank Terse. We give the following extract from a curious poem in blank verse entitled "A Well Known Document." The author's aim is is to'show that "the earnest and impassioned language of real life is sometimes closely assimilated to blank verse." He has therefore < "lined out" the whole Declaration of! Independence with little more variation from the original text than is involved in the occasional transposition of a word. Thus: We then hold these truths To be self-evident. That all mankind Are equal, and endowed by their creator With certain inalienable rights. That among these are Life and Liberty, And the Pursuit of Happiuess: That men. To make these rights available and safe, Have instituted governments, deriving Their lawful power from the free consent Of those they govern. That when any form Of government is proved to be destructive j Of these their ends, it is the people's right To alter or abolish it, and found A government anew, with principles . .So laid for its foundation, and with powers In such foim organized, as to th6m Seem most conducive to their happinert And sefety, ! enlarging and strengthening their bones aud muscles, and do more toward making them useful women than all the modern languages of the world. Moderate exercise of the muscles develops and strengthen 8 them, and so moderate exercise of the mental faculties enlarges and strengthens them. Our girls should not be confined to their books more than six hoars in the twenty-four. Excessive j studying weakens the mind and the body. ! No people on the face of the earth do so much toward enfeebling girls as the Americans. We do not object to proper feraale education. We ifclvocate it; but : we do object to the very common neglect j of developing the body. Muscles and boaei nevt?r grow stronger by indolence or disuse. How unwise to sacrifice the j health of the body to the cramming of the mind. Develop them both. Give gir ls a sound body and a sound mind. What are many of our well educated girls go< >d for ? Feeble, sickly bodies, with weaker brains ! Girls need nutritious food and constant exercise to change that food to vigor and strength. To obtain the greatest amount of good from food and exercise they must begin early. It is rattier late in the day to improve a house when it has no firm foundation, when its brick and mortar are falling into decay. A physician may do something toward lessening the feebleness : and sufferings of those girls who are built of starch and butter. The Swiss j rarely eat anything but bread,cheese and i butter, and drink milk. They are a ! strong, active and vigorous people; so ! that meat is not absolutely necessary, j Still our daughters eat so little cheese, so little nitrogen or flesh-making food, that they should eat meat. They almost! universally prefer starchy food. They consume so little nutriment containing phosphorus that their vitality, their strength, their muscle and their activity ! is less than that of any other people. j They prefer pies and sweetmeats to meat j and potatoes and fish, so that they are spiire, feeble and nervous. They con-; sume starch and still need stays. They should consume more gluten and less j sugar; have less mental and more physical exercise. The latter will increase j the appetite and aid in digestion and converting the food into blood. Improper food and no exercise create disease. Good food and sufficient exercise create health. ?Chicago Tribune. How the Russians Treat Correspondents. A correspondent writes to an Ehglisli paper on the subject of newspaper cor- 1 respondents with the Russian army: " Besides metal badges to be worn on the arm, they are required to have always with them their photographic likeness, i which, in token of authenticity, must bear the stamp of the Russian staff." \ According to a Russian newspaper, the first foreign correspondents formally received were M. Ivan de Wcestvn, of the Paris Figaro, and Mr. MacGahan,of the Daily News. Other foreign correspondents, however, have since arrived;! and the London Standard's correspon- 1 dent with the Russian army, who in a recent letter described the ceremony of I investiture, states that the badge is six inches long, and that the one he wears is miirked "No. 9." According to an occasional correspondent of the Standard, writing from St. Petersburg, the Official Journal has received from its correspondent at the Russian headquarters an account of the instructions issued, in con- j nection with foreign newspaper correspondents, to Russian officers.

Most of the travelers who have described this crater, agree in saying that it is from fifteen hundred to two thou- ! sand feet deep; and many ot them speak of the possibility of approaching to the bottom. All this, to a visitor of the , mountain in its present form, would; seem utterly at variance with the truth. You go down, perhaps, for half a mile, a pretty rapid descent, over cliffs and yawning chasms, and through smoke and I heated gas. Here you arrive at the inner crater; at the hole, for such it seems, j which has been made through the bottom of the gigantic vase, and into which is inserted the cylindrical tube, that seems ; to extend quite down to the lambent; flames and fiery pool of Tartaric. Of j the depth of this you have a very imperfect means of judging; and whenever, by a favorable action of the wind or a temporary suspension of the smoke, von annroaeh a little nearer, and attempt f r r ? --? . a more satisfactory examinations heated puff of sulphureous gas and smoke drives you back, all but suffocated, to get a breath of pure air. The exports of cotton manufactures from the United States for the eleven months ending May 31, 18/7, show a handsome increase, a* compared with the eleven months ending May 31,1876. The figures, according to the Washington Bureau of Statistics, are: 57,818,647 yards, valued at 84,939,616, against 44,279,405 yards, valued at $3,729,386 last year. Our cotton goods, to the value of 8649,952, were exported during the six months ending May 81, 1877* against $185,888 in 18?6. i OCR GIRLS. A Plea for Physical Development?The Evils of Excessive Study and the Lack of Exercise. i Compare the form and health of a boy at sixfceeu with a girl at the same age. Why should tho girl be so slender, so j frad and so distressed? The answer is plain. She is not allowed to use and thus develop her muscles' and bones. Food and exercise are the necessary terms of playful growth. She gets neither. Girls should use and develop i every muscle and every bone that will favor the circulation of the blood,remove% old particles and deposit new in all their organs and tissues. They need not cry, but they may laugh heartily at any time and in auy place proper for such means of growth. The delightful exercise has all the advantage of crying in infancy. Mothers who are blessed with daughters i i i i i _ i:(. i, ii. i suoiuu uegm cany xxi xxie, \>xiexi me muscles and bones are soft and pliable, to train them. As soon as they begin to creep teach them to creep "on all fours," and thus expand their lungs and strengthen their chests; teach them, when their ribs are soft and yielding, "to take a long breath " many times a day, and ther when they enter school their teachers should continue the same exercises and others which have a tendency to develop the chest, containing the essential organ of life that creates vital blood and drives it through all its rounds and gives form and beauty to their persons.

Kioidull and lux .Sixteen .lien. Dispatches from Lewistou, via Portlaud, Oregon, give details of the en- ' counters with the Indians on the third, fourth and fifth of July, near Cotton- | wood. On the third Col. Whipple sent out Foster 'and Baird scouting for 1 1 in flip direction of fieri. Howard's 1 camp 011 Salmon river. They had not 1 gone far when they met three or four j Indians, who ran them back toward , camp. Baird was unhorsed, but escaped; Foster reached camp. Col. | Whipple ordered his command in readi- J ness to move, and in the meantime Lieut. Rains, with Foster and eleven ' men, were sent in advance to reconnoiter. ; Rains and his men rode over the first i [ rise this side of Cottonwood, and down into a side ravine where the road crosses before the ascent of Craig's mountain, J and were attacked. Before Whipple could get to him after he heard the fir- ' ing, Rains and his whole party were killed, including Foster. Whipple's i command came forward and formed in ; line of battle on the east side of the , ravine, and the Indians oil the Avcst, all ' in open ground, about one thousand j yards apart, and with only the ravine I, between them. Here they remained menacing each other for about two i' hours, until darkness came. Whipple then retired to his camp, and the Indians passed over to a point on the Cottonwood trail to Craig's crossing. No more was 1 doufe that night. , j ( Tl>o norf mnrninrr Col Wliinnlp start ed this way to meet Col. Perry, who wan expected with a supply train from Lap- ; wai, and kept out liis skirmish lines along the route. They met Col. Perry with his traiu near Broad House, anil escorted him to the camp on Cottonwood creek. Baird and two men arrived from Mount Idaho soon afterward, and at about five p. m. rifle pits were manned and two Catlings placed in position. The Indians made several attempts to storm the rifle pits, but were kept at a distance. At about nine p. m. firing ! ceased for the night. On the morning of the fifth two couriers arrived from Gen. Howard, chased into the camp by Indians. Soon afterward the Indians moved their camp, with about 1,600 head of stock, across the prairie in the direction of the Cottonwood. No movement was made to intercept them. At this time Capt. Randall and sixteen volunteers from Mount Idaho appeared in sight. About 150 Indians intercepted them at the junction of the Elk City trail with the stage road. CoL Perry was urged to go with the tooops to their rescue. He" replied that it was no use; they were gone, and he would not order i his men to the rescue. The volunteers say that their captain, seeing his position, ordered them to charge and break the lines of the Indians, dash over toward the creek bottom, dismount, and return the Indian fire and hold their position, partly under cover of a small hill, i until the force at the Cottonwood could ! reach them. The command was no soon- j er given than Capt. Randall and his six- ! teen men made the charge, broke ; through the Indian line, reached the po- ; sition named, dismounted and returned I fire. In the charge Capt. Randall was mortally wounded, Benj. Evans killed, and three of the others wound- ! a/L Thev fmicht there for nearlv an ' hour, antf kept the Indians at bay. In about half an hour after it was known that the Indians had the volunteers in a tight place, Col. Perry gave orders for fifty men to go to their relief. It was quickly obeyed, and they were relieved in about one hour. After the charge, no pursuit of the Indians was ordered, but a retreat was made to camp, and no pursuit has been made since up to the time of Morrill's leaving on the night of the sixth. The volunteers say they know they killed several Indians and wounded many others, and they saw Indians pack- i ing off their dead and wounded. On the same night McConville, with j the volunteer force, arrived at Cottonwood from Howard's command. On the sixth a detachment of seventy-five men, under McConville, was sent as an escort i to a wagon carrying the killed and j wounded to Mount Idaho. Morrill says that Randall, after he was mortally wounded and had got into his position, , sat upon the ground and fired many shots at the Indians, the last one not j more than five minutes before he fell j back dead. Not one ot the seventeen faltered in the least or showed the white feather, though hard pressed by 100 In- j dians, nor did one of them seek to run ! for the Cottonwood after - they had j broken the Indian line, but strictly obeyed orders to hold their ground. Fashion Notes. Colored ribbons are again in general j demand. A new shaped bonnet is now worn without a crown. A bow of bright-colored ribbon is worn on the first stick of fans. The old style pelisses. are announced j as among the latest revivals. Tufts of marabout feathers fasten the fronts of handsome dresses. The lace mantle of the day is made of a kind of embroidered guipure lace, : which is quite thick; it is trimmed with ruffles of the same. As the train skirts must all he held up, very elaborate and elegant petticoats are used. Some are embroidered and others are trimmed with torchon lace and several rows of insertion. White sultane polonaises or tuniques ; are no longer worn over black and colored skirts, this style having become too j common. Linen tuniques, trimmed with : lace, may be worn over these skirts. As lace is so much used, some new j woolen guipure laces have been made. They are very fine and in many new designs. These, -with the imitation Chantiliy and torchon laces, form the most prominent trimmings for all suits. The princess dress is trimmed in front from the middle of the apron down with plaitings alternating in light and dark blue lawn placed very close together. On either side are bands of faconne lawn. The train is trimmed with a light i and dark blue plaiting. Around the neck, and down the front as far as the apron, is a band of white faconne lawn. 1 jiown the center of the band are motherof-pearl buttons, An in-door dress may bef of pink foulard or batiste. The princess polonaise is embroidered around. The front opens over a white plaited piece. Fine pink embroidered bands are placed up j the front, joining the polonaise over the plaited piece. These bauds graduate, becoming smaller as they go upward. The lower part of the plaited piece is trimmed with a tiny plaiting. The front j of the waist consists also of this plaiting, | with the pink embroidered bands over it. Undy the square opening of the waist is a white plaited chemisette. This model can be made of all light woolen and silk materials. It is very simple to 1 make, aud the embroidery causes it to appeal- a very rich dreis; THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. ~ I? Knilurcs lor the First Ilnlfof" iho Venrl877 i ?An IntcrmlinK Dxliihit. d (J It is evident tliat the business of the t country, generally, only, very slowly I improves. The results of the first half \ :>f the present year are by 110 means en- J tirely satisfactory. Neither in exteu or , * profitableness are there many signs of a improvement; wnne iii tuc mwvaj v? v stability of values, the indications are uncertain, and not unfrequently the tendency is still decidedly downward. The statistics of failures, also, which are periodically furnished to the public by the mercantile agency of It. G. Dunn & Co., are not re-assuring, as we gather from the regular quarterly circular first issued. The failures of the United ' States for the first six months of three years are stated as follows: Xo. of Failures. Liabilities. First half of 1877 4,749 $99,606,000 ' First half of 1876 4,600 108,415,000 First half of 1875 3,563 76,784,266 All the conditions seem to favor better j times, yet there appear to be fatal barriers to their return. These conditions are briefly stated to be good crops, high ! [Trices therefor; small imports, abundant and cheap money; a settled political con- J dition, a sustained public credit, and the j ( promise of another abundant harvest. ! i But the experience of the past does not I permit the hope that all this will bring around a prosperous or satisfactory trade. Something more is needed; but \ what the true remedy is none lias yet; ' discovered. Numerous explanations are, of course, at hand; and it is eloquently 1 urged that the adoption of this or that J policy would restore confidence and prosperity. Yfct the fact remains that, iii the presence of all favoring conditions, depression reigns, values decline, ] and business is restricted and unprofita- ] ble. Judging from the state of business 1 abroad, all this is not chargeable to the ? peculiar disabilities under which this ] country labors. Other nations, with a { gold basis, a low tariff, and not charge- \ able with either public or private extravagance, are suffering even to a | ] greater extent than the United States, jl with an absence of many of the advan- ; tages and prospects which this nation i enjoys. | Referring to the now generally re- ] ccived impression that years of economy and liquidation must follow years of!' expansion and extravagance, the agency | attempts to illustrate the nature and ex tent of this expansion by the rapid i growth in the creation of debt. The j figures given are probably open 4o criti- ; cism, k ut, put in this shape, they are very significant: " Tlie.figures most accessible show that the national debt, as compared with sixty-four millions in 1860, amounts to 2,200 millions in 1877; that the State's debt amounts to 375 millions, the municipal debt to 1,000 millions, the railway debt 2,300 millions; the discounts and loans of national and other banks to another 1,000 millions, and the loans by i insurance and other mortgage machinery j onfnlTT Aofimefn/1 of nnV*nr P\AA 1 illi\j uo otu^ij cotimai^u c*u auuvuvi wv ; millions. Grouping all these roughly j together, the visible indebtedness, of, which some financial conception may be formed, amounts to the vast sum of j $7,375,000,000. The curious can calcu-1 late how far the interest on this sum, if regularly p aid, would absorb the yearly | product of the natural and other resources of the country." The calculation which the curious are here invited to make leads to the start- j ling conclusion that the interest of this | debt, at six per cent., amounts to over 430 millions per annum?a sum larger than the surplus cotton and grain crops combiued. The agency concludes its review with , the following in regard to the fall trade: "Meantime people must eat, drink and wear, and in the supply of these necessities a certain exteut of trade is secure. And this trade ought not to be unsafe in sections of country mainly de-! pendent 011 agriculture, which includes ! the great West and South, where the purchasing and debt paying power is not so restricted as elsewhere. The ! chief difficulty is that the number engaged in a trade thus limited is so far in excess of its extent that the competition is destructive of profit. The evil is one which will, it is supposed, cure itself. Unfortunately the principal pro- i cess by which this will be effected is that of failure, as the voluntary with- i drawals, especially from retail trade, are j very rare. The future statistics are, j therefore, likely to show a continued large number of casualties, but in 'this view may be more significant of health than disease. If a large proportion oi traders who succumb could be kept out c i 1 1. : i _ .1 jit cu uusmess, ana ue proviuea wuu *ujh? other pursuit tliau that of helping to divide a small trade among a large number, failures would not be an unmixed j evil." The most encouraging feature of the present time, is the excellent prospect of the crops throughout the country. From the extracts which have been gleaned in some thirty-five different leading business centers, it is evident that a year of great abundance is vouchsafed to the ' country. Local trade dependent r n that condition of things seems by these j reports to promise fairly, and the photograph winch is thus presented of the business of the country is exceedingly complete and interestin g. The Sunflower. A well-known plant of thrifty growth and generous yield, is the helianthus, ! or common "sunflower." It is culti-1 vated extensively in certain portions of tliis country, for the oil contained in the mass of seeds it produces. In Tartary, as well as among other i Eastern tribes, and also by American Indians, in certain quarters of the West, these seeds are cooked and eaten. In ; some sections, where its valuable properties are appreciated, the seed is used for poultry food, at times, with great benefit. The sunflower is easily grown, requires no special cultivation; it may be planted all around, near the fences or walls of the farm, or estate, where nothing else is cultivated; and for a change of fohd or mixed in small quantities with other grains, raw or cooked, it is an admirable thing for adult fowls. It can be so easily produced, and it is really so valuable in its way, that we are surprised it is not more generally grown for a partial poultry food.?Poultry World. A writer of the Scientific American asks: ''Why are we right-handed?" And we suspect it never occurred to him ' that it was because we were not left- j handed."
