Editorial Correspondence of The Star.] HvToHINGs HoTet, Yo Samrrs Vat Sarizosa € jp Cal, Aug. 186). § Ho fer the Yo Semite! Hand bills at the hotels, he San Francisco papers advise the trav. eler, conflictiagly,to “Ho! for the Great Yo Semite Valley via Inspiration Point and tne Manrposa Big Trees” and to “Ho! for Yo Semite; through for $20; time 38 hours; via Big Oak Fist and the Toolumne Grove of Mam- moth Trees." We Ho'd our way here by the intter route. and ave Bad uo reason to regret our choice. This js a route recently opened for travel, nad by it the distance is reduced some forty miles, and the reduction 1s made in the mos; fatiguing portion of it—that done on horse. back. The cost is also reduced proportionately as well as the time for making the trip. By this route it is,im fact, made possible to make the round trip from Sam Francisco in seven days at a cost of from S69 to $75 (gold.) A great deal of Gu: the Yo Semite, but not enough of the practical toenable hurried visitors to the Pacific coast tojunderstand how to get here im the least time and ats moderate expense. I will deal first with this matter-of-fact side, and put in | the raptures at the end of the chapter—if I have room. How to Ho for the Yeo Semite. From San Francisco we came to Stockton by steamer, leaving “Frisco” at 4 p. m., arriving at Stockton at 6 o'clock the next morning. The intter part of this trip is a curioasly tedious | one, the channel being narrow ard running © tortuously through the tulle (bull-rush) swamps tbat the steamer was continually get- ‘ug ber nose into one bank or the other, aud having to back water and take a fresh start. Instance from Sam Francisco to Sizckton 125 miles. At Stockton we toow stage for Hardin’s Mills, 7} miles, leaving back, total distance trom Hutebings, in the Yo Semite, The Country. The trip to the YoSemite would be worth uking if it were not, as it is, the great wonder tthe world, on account of the opportunity it wilords for seeing the different varieties of california scenery, climate, products, &c.

Here were figs, (second crop of the season) almonds, plums of various kinds, peaches, pears, apricots, apples, grapes, in- cluding the hot-house varieties of the Est, | such as the Bisck Hamburg, Muscat, &c., | growing in the open air.

He dries large quantities, ana we tasted some of his dried figs tnat seemed quite equal to the imported figs. He bought this place some tour years ago for $4,000, and has sold a portion bordering on the river, in demand for gold washing purposes, tor $2,500. Why Garrete? ‘We stopped for the night at Garrote, at Sa- vory’s Hotel, where good plain fare is farn- | ished by Mr. Ben. Savory, a Mass~chusetts man. Quartz mining is carried on to some ex- | tent in this vicinity, and there isa te imp | crusher in operation here. Mr. Savory was obliging enough to show us through the mills, iaptern im hand, but we could see no gold about the thing. It looked like thick mud at oneend of the machine and thin mud at the | other. Garrote. after the unaccountable taste that fastens repulsive names upoa otherwise agreeable localities, gets its cognomen from the | fact that a man was bung there years «go for | stealing. A few miles this side is a village called 24 Garrote. Nobody wasever hanged or garroted there, but the name seems to haye been thought too pretty to miss, From Garrote to Harduns is a pleasant morn- ing ride torough the mountains.

Snow told aboat having been treed by a savage she griazly. He was poking about tn the woods looking for tray calves, and the grizzly took the gotion hat he was after ber cubs.

This was the first sale in four months, and was attended by a very large number Of persons, and caused the greatest excitement. The prices realized were: Lamp, 10,000 tons, at $5.15a85.70; steamboat, 12,00 tons, at 80.17 4486 524%; Grate, 13,000 tons at $6 50086.024; Egg, 10,000 tons, at 86.8027 Stove, 25,000 tons, at $7.40a87.55; Chestnut, 10 000 tons, at $4.35a86.6v. This is an average in- crease since the last sale, April 25th, of $2 per tem for lump, $1.75 for steamboat, $1.99 for grate, $2.18% on egg, $2.42% on stove, and $1.57}¢ om Unestnut, A writer on the coal subject, in the New | York Financia! Journal, argues to show that the principal cause of the exorbitant price of an- thracite coal is the monopolizing combinations of the operating coal compamtes and the trans- portation companies. He thinks it is not likely that the present prices will long be sustained. They had snow—a few flakes—in New York city yesterday, ice two inches thick has formed on the Waite Mountains, and we have tele. graphic accounts of cold weather all through the North. This isa foretaste of winter with & vengeance, considering that it 1s only the first of September. Yesterday a National Temperance Conven- tion assembled at Chicago.
