GRANDEST SCENERY IN THE WORLD The Great Falls and Grand Canon of the Yellowstone. Urns Guess BASIN. Yemen-moss Pans. On July 4th we started from our campat the forks of Firehole River on a three days’ trip to the Great Falls and Grand Canon of the Yellowstone. Our party numbered eighteen, including two tourists from Min- neapolis, and some rode horses. while the rest bestrode two waggons and a buck. board. The trail led us up the valley of the East Fork of the Firehole, past curi- ously shaped buttes of volcanic origin, among groups of geysers and hot springs. and through a succession of those beautiful grassy glades peculiar to the Rocky Moun. tains, until we reached the Washburn Divide, which separates the sources of the‘ Missouri from those of the Yellowstone. A long pullover a steep grade brought us to the summit, about 9,000 feet above the sea level. From there we looked back over thousand square miles of forest. and across the Continental Divide to a horizon of snowy peaks in Wyoming, Idaho and Men- tana. Halfway across the summit we passed Mary‘s Lake, set in the midst of the forest, and floating numerous waterw fowl. It contains no fish, but swarms with a species of lizard about ten inches long, with long fringed ears. The only other water I have seen them in is the Grand River. Michigan. where they are called “ water-dogs." Another mile brought us to more geysers. hot springs and gas‘ vents. around which there were piles of sulphur crthals. Here we began to descend into the Yellowstone Valley, and. after crossing several hot sulphur creeks, took lunch at a cold one that was fairly alive with mountain trout. Here those who felt inclined enjoyed the novelty of a snow- balling match in July. plenty of ammuni- tion being found in a ravine near by. though the weather was hot enough. The rest of our journey to the Yellowatone was through a more open country where we saw many bands of deer, antelope and elk. 0n approaching Sulphur Mountain we saw what we supposed was a man standing in the road ahead of us. but when it dropped on all fours and took to the woods, followed by a cub, we saw that it was A CINNAMON BEAR. The Nimxods o; the party were behind looking after an elk, so the best escaped. We passed several boiling alum and soda springs along the base of which is abig hill. 00 msoaed principally of sulphur and8 perforate with many hot eprmge an_d sulphur vents. The gas ytrom ,,l A- ‘_-‘| _A_ nn.‘ Ann u U-u‘. ~â€"- .â€" 5 r â€"- - __“, v the latter is not pleasant to smell nor safe to breathe. Across the Yellowstone from Sulphur Mountain there is a broad expanse of meadow, upon which we desoried a large dark mass of moving objects. “ Buffalo 1" was the cry. but the field glasses told a different story. and those given to figures estimated that there was not less than in the herd. We lound the Yellowstone very high, and, alter fording a swollen creek. halted at the end of the wagon trail. two miles above the upper falls. A lean-to of poles, covered with two canvas waggon covers, was soon erected for shelter. a fire built in front, and the cook having served up some outlets of elk meat, the most impatient of us started downapony trail toward the falls. There was nothing in the landeoa to remind us that we were so near t e Grand Canon; the river before us was a placid stream, about seven hundred feet wide, flowing between grassy meadows, and disap eating below between high tim- bered hi that shut all all view to the north. except of the summit of Mount Washburne. The most rugged view was on the southeast. where the Sierra Sho- shone peahe were sharply outlined against the shy. However, we could hear the roar of m UPPIB ram, and that was enough to uicken our ate s. As we followed the trailt ro hthew s, over high hills and across esp ravines, we noticed a change in the choral aspect. The rounded hillsides gave p ace to vertical cliffs, between which the great swollen river was crowded into a third of its origi- nal width and broken into a succession of picturesque rapids. The roar of the falls sounded louder and louder. a great cloud of spray showed up through the trees. and abend in the trail brought us out on a int of rocks immediately over the falls. are the great volume of water is con- densed into a channel 100 feet wide. with a sharp descent to the ed e of the clifl‘, gain~ ing such an im stus elore making the rand plunge of 60 feet as to be projected ar out into the canon. The {oot‘ of the falls is hidden in a cloud of spray. from which great grey sea-like s urts of water shoot out at an angle of orty-flve degrees to a height of a hundred feet. 'lhe rush of water through the narrow channel above conveys an idea of irresistable force; one would think that a thousand tons of rock thrown in there would be swept over into the gull there would be we t over into the gun foroit. could touch ttom.

But, though to our eyes more attractive than Niagara, we knew these xalls tobe a second- rate article. hardly mentioned by the illustrious writers who have done up the park, being so far outrivalled by the scenes below, so we pressed on toward another cloud of spray halt a mile down the river. The trail took us bash into_the woodexel‘ldrawfvevjenlriuedred yards turthet. to t. scene we had forgotten aboutâ€"the CRYSTAL FALLS AND OBO‘I‘TO. A clear creek comes tumbling down a deep ravine in a series of cascades and tells thirty feet over the face of a took into a grogm! vgyere it geate e. mogent in‘a deep AL-â€" ool. hollowed into the solid rock, then alls fifty feet to a ledge of rock. from which it shoots out horizontally, describing a graceful curve in the air before regaining its rocky bed one hundred and thirty feet below. These tails are justly considered among the most beautiful in America, but we merely glanced at them and hurried on. At a. fork in the trail we found a. sign-board bearing the legend, and turning into the canon made a pre- cipitous descent of several hundred feet, coming out on a ledge over the cataract. Here I may well hesitate to give any more than cold figures, for the scene before us has baflled all attempts at description by the talented men who have Witnessed it. For a short distance above the falls the river flows with a comparatively smooth current, as it gathering its energies for its culminating_leap of three‘ hundred and ninety-seven feet, considerably more than twice the height of Niagara. We were so close to the brink that we could take sight along the face of the falls into the awful abyss, the bottom of which seemed a perfect hell of raging water, foam and spray, that no creature could enter and live. We threw stones out into the gulf and watched them falling until, as some of the boys remarked, they got tired of fall- ing and disappeared in the spray. These falls mark the entrance to the Grand Canon, here one thousand feet deep, the walls towering six hundred feet above the top of the falls. But as the country rises toward Mount Washburne, and the river below the falls drops at the rate of about one hundred feet per mile, the canon rapidly deepens to two thousand, twenty- flve hundred and probably three thousand feet. In some places the walls are nearly 1 vertical to the water's.edge, but enerally, , alter the first drop of several hun red feet, < they slope more or less and are broken J into a maze of pinnacles of every imagin- able shape and color. Much as we had . read and heard of this wonderful gash, we ‘ were amazed at the reality. People who have seen only the sombre hued rocks of other regions cannot readily associate brilliant colors with any rocks, and imagine that the colors mentioned in descriptions of Yellowstone scenery originated in the poetic imaginations and enthusiasm of the writers. When the artist Bierstadt saw Thomas Moran’s painting of this canon he said it was a gross exaggeration, that there were no such colors in nature, but when he saw the canon last year he freely acknow- ledged his error and admitted that Moran had no paints too brilliant for the subject. The fact is that the walls of Yellowstone Canon were formed by different agencies from those of any other known canon. They represent the work of geysers, paint pots, sulphur vents and other volcanic action for ages. The east wall is com- posed largely of sulphur, 0! all shades, from white to brightest yellow, varied by large areas of red scoria, obsidian and other material of innumerable shades, The west wall is chiefly the work of paint pots. whose many colored deposits have har- dened, as any other paint would in time, and are as susceptible to the action of the elementsâ€"hence the curious pinnacles that are bestowed with such bewildering profusion. The pinnacles are of magnifi- cent pro rtions, befitting their surround- ings. e had a heart breaking climb to the top of the canon, and went out on Prospect Point, half a mile below the falls There were many names inscribed on the rocks and trees here, among which the only Canadian name I noticed was that of, Mr. Ptolemy, of Hamilton. We looked down upon the pinnacle about the shape of‘ a bayonet, but two hundred feet high, and seemingasthough a gust of wind would blow it over. On its point was an eagle’s nest, in which our glasses discovered a young eagle, and the old birds hovering around far below us seemed to be greatly excited, as if they didn't know that no man could reach that nest. The pinnacle was pure white from top to bottom. wore a 053 of a rich brown color, rested on a pedest of bright red, ona layer of yellow, on a layer of brown, on a slope in which all these and other colors were harmoniously blended. This pinnacle was one of a row of ‘ pure white ones on a sloping ridge, another ridge bore arow of brown pinnacles, another of red and so forth, each inuacle capped : and based with suitable co ors, while some were variegated all through. The efiect of the whole, in sunlight or shadow, was magnificent, the painting seemed all in harmony, and no one could wish a color _ changed. A_- LL-____A l-nL n w..." Alter eeein the falls lighted up by the last rays of t e setting sun (setting very early on account of the depth of the canon) we trudged back to camp. so tired that we slept soundly in the ogen air until morning. notwithstanding a eavy shower, that roused some who had no rubber blankets. In the morning some one asked our topo- ' grapherâ€"a oorpnlent Swedeâ€"how he had Thus great river. two thousand feet below us. seemed but a. tiny brook o! a bright green color, except where lashed into team by rocky impediments. The depth was so great that no sound of its struggles could reach us, and the great falls above. in their perfection of shape, seemed motionless, like a great white plume hang- ing by an emerald stem to the face of the cliff. Small streams. running in from the sides, fell over the walls of the canon in cascades of from one to two thousand (set in height. Far below us. near the edge of the river. we could see several small geysers pnfling out steam like locomotives where no mortal fireman could reach them. Further down the canon there are mang geysers and curious s rings. some of whio pen; a substance. b ack as ink, over the we a. “1‘0 ms can“ um," slept. 3nd he answered: " Oh, I aehleep final volll goat P But. his mate. also a Swede. exposed the pleasant. deception as follows: “Mr.Hâ€"-â€"â€"-, he get vet. last night and be any. ‘ Donnervetterl I no stand die ; I no on aohleep.’ so he go and sit by do fire out sohwoar.

Ob. 0% is no so) We caught some large trout in the river. but didn't eat themas they were infested with the intestinal worms peculiar to trout in Yellowstone Lake and the river above the falls. After breakfast we all went back to the canon to spend the day among the wonders there. In only one place there is a possibility of getting down into the Grand Canon. by the bed of a creek that falls in from the west side and marked “Dangerous trail into the Canon." but there is no trail. A few of us made the1 descent with a good deal 0! trouble and spent an hour in enjoyment of the scenery from below. Our friends on the cliffs above were like Liliputians, hung nearer heaven than earth. and we trembled for fear they would fall down on us and hurt us. The greatest danger in the canon is from detached pieces of rock that gain trightinl velocity before reaching the river. We returned to the upper world in safety and wandered from point to point. getting wonderful views from each, until tired out. Then we returned, examined Crystal Falls more thoroughly and spent an hour at the Upper Falls. Another wet night in camp, and next day we passed through the same scenes on the return trip, seeing plenty of game as before. .- . n a , , ,,A___|.r_1 Being aware that the above conveys but a poor idea of the subject, I should state that the scenery of the Yellowstone Falls and Grand Canon is pronounced by those who have seen the beat to be um owner in run worm»! The canon of the Colorado is much longer and deeper, and the cliffs and falls of the Yosemite are higher. but nowhere else is there such a wealth of coloring or such an array of volcanic wonders, and no other falls of the height have such a. volume 0! ‘weter or such e perfectly beautiful shape.

As I write, some thirty or more houses. mostly of a good class. have been burned. chiefly on Sauvageau and St. 1Vallier streets, including Plamondon’s fine ‘fire brick dry goods establishment and ‘Peageau’s agency of Raymond’s sew- ing machines. Most of the St. Sauveur suburb is composed of wooden buildings. As it is. most of the city is on foot. and all the fire brigade and appliances. including two steam engines. are out. by the timely order of Mayor Langelier, assisting the St. Sauveur people. who, within a considerable radius of the scene of danger, seem to be seized with a panic and are already movinitheir fur- niture. The fire is said to have roken out in a stable attached to Dion’s SelioRaising Flour ManuIactory, and there are reports current on the street (which there are no means, however, of veryilying) of five or more persons having been already burned or serious! injured. St. Bauveur, which is an in ependent municipality of the city, depends for its protection against fire chiefly upon cisterns, ut while those facilities may possibly be very useful to check a small fire. they seem to be utterly useless once a fire gains great headway. Your correspondent a few minutes ago noticed one of the Quebec steam fire engines lying idle because it had already emptied the contents of all the cisterns in the neighborhood.

In so new .» muntry, and in the wildest part of it. there is indeed much to observe and much as.» inn-dire. The outfit consists of a yoke of . gen and w on, a tent, a supply of Ere“. l‘ ions, bed an blankets, a plough, s. rizic. mth axes, angers and other tools required in huildin a house. Our section is partly surrounds by a small river well stock“! with fish, the beautiful goldeve being on». of the species found. To the north of the farm is an extensive forest, and on our approach a small herd of elk were enjo;.-;:ig themselves on the smooth level prairie which skirted the woods. These wild creatures, after much jumping, looking and cspering,dis- appeared among the trees. We pitched our tent beside a beautiful grove of poplar and wild cherry, and near a small circular lake of sweet water, in which a number of ducks were disporting. The lake is remarkable, as it obtains its supply of water from some snbterransous source, and empties by several springs into a ravine on the adjoin- ing section. The first performance was to cut logs and draw them with tho oxen, then erect the walls of a rude home. As soon as this work was done one person con. tinued at the house while the other started to plough. The grove beside which we are camped is well stocked with birds. amongst . these the most charming is the thrush; a whip-poor-will also interests: us in the fine evenings with its music. The sounds at night are not always so agreeuhh. as there is a den of wolves in the neighbor-hood, and the young wnelps take frequent opportuni- ties of making night hid-nus. Rabbits are quite numerous in the grove, and their attendant enemies. the lynx are con- stantly on the war-path durin, the dusky hours. Sometimes a pair cl these great cats meet, and then there in wwrwauling on a large scale.
