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

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.

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. They are

.Crater of Vesuvius.
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

more satisfactory examinations heated
puff of sulphureous gas and smoke
drives you back, all but suffocated, to get

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.

and thus expand their lungs and

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

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

(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."

People who neglect their minor ailments J
