River, Origin of Architeotnral Idea Glowing Sunset Tints and Shining Stars. Correspondence of The San Franeisco Chironicle, Cascapes oF e CoLUMBIA, June 8, 1881, The seenery of the Colum bia, or to be perfectly accurate, of that part of it which is connected with the Cascade mountains, is in finitely granuer, varied and - more peculiar tourist is apt to anticipate. The oighty-six miles between Port land and the Dalles comprise a region which appeals most foreibly to those who have a smattering of geolog, Throurhout seven-eights of the jour: ney the river Columbia makes its way through the Cascade range of moun- tains, many of whose peaks are snow clad, and some of them attain an alti- tude exceeding 14,000 feet. Looking at this range from any other point | than this river, it secms as if it were a vast wall or plateau some 5,000 feet high, and that the snow peaks riso out of this like kings seated upon raised platforms. But from the river it is plain that these great peaks, Hood, Shasta, Adams, St. Helens, B ker, Tanier, the Three Sisters and than the waists in their lava, in the cooled lood which they have in past times belehed out. There was a time when people believed that rivers cut their channcls by their own unaided foree in their way to the sea, but no one can look upon this scene and_so agree. It is more probable that the lava contract- ed greatly in cooling, and that in the fissures made by such contraction the river found its outlet. It is true that a fissure so enormous as the channel of the Columbia, for the river here is a mile broad, is opposed to the con- ceptions of all but theorists, But it is difficult to conceive that the river and and the lava beds were coeval, Prob- ablely there were tens of thousands of years botween tho carliest deposits from this great section of the valeanic range that reaches so far south and the Columl The upper part of the basalt gorge through which the Columbia pours its waters must lave been reduced by disintegoation to a verse, so that the blocks are eminently rectangular. And what is true of the small masses five feet high is usually Jtrue of the masses of th plateau 5,000 feet high. They are pierced by zes which run east and west like the river, and north and sonth like the mountains. VARIED MASSIVE FORMS, At first the mountains were rectan- gular masses, but disintegration I worn them aw is most unequal in its hardness, and as some parts are more exposed than others to the action of the frost-laden winds, and the steady attrition of falling waters, it sesults that the ap- pearance of these time-worn rocks is most varied and most peculia One fact only is constant ; the rectangular character of the rock itself, When this assumes, as it very often does, the columnor form, the aspect of the basalt becomes _enchantingly interest- ing, There is hardly a snape under wen's dome which it does not mimic, not, of course, with any intense resemblance, but there is a something in the outline and the mass which is very suggestive. Of course what is termed constellation is the most fre- quent, and those who have scen the upper Mississippi nust admit that the towers and ramparts of its sandstone cliffs cannot cnter into comparison with the terrible basalt formation of the Columbia. There are spots where the rock rises perpendicularly from the water and Zgoes sheer up to a height of three hundred in one solid mass without a crack or crevice. This great wall of some Titanic fortification stretches for hundreds of yards ina straight line and then turns abruptly, leaving an acute angle. Lichens, ferns and mosses cover its sides and give it the appearance of a forgotten stronghold that has passed out of the history of of the world. Above this great stretch of rampart there is a grassy slope covered with trees, yollow firs R LA PO i again comes another huge rampart, and more bas- tions; above that another slope of grass and wavering green troes, then another rampart, then another slope, and 50 in regular graduation until the neck or the enchanted gazer is craned to the utmost, and the eye reaches the crest of the plateau, In the costel- lated form the basalt is regularity it self. Tn others nothing can be more irregulax, There is a place along the river where originally there were for the whole sheer descent only two ter- races, or, in other words, the lava, in- stead of spreading itself out in beds, had occupied itself in filling upa great holloy The lower of these, being the is very much worn, and disi tegration has been exceedingly busy. ONE OF NATURE'S CATHEDIADS, | Butinthe center of the ran, |18 a mass which sugvosts strongly | Gothie cathedral. The lady chapel, greatly forcshortened, is in front, then above it comesa perfectly shaped apse, with its singular roof, "then to the right and left are thd projections of the transepts, and above all towers the mighty roof of the eavo, with subordinate aisles, There is nothing to cheat the view as in the country of Hindostan, so [ seribed by Bishop Hober well No ve tation to help the imagination, no clustering vines to hint the tracery of | Gothic decoration, All is the bare | basalt, but the masses are so wonder one can Bee 1t without receiving a similar | impression. But the inost ordinary | form after all is the pyramidal, All | will comprehend how “reddily a solid | rectangular mwass would by disis tion assume this asp The Greeks | imagined that the ancient Egyptians | endeavored to imitate by their pyra- mids the ascending flame of sacrificial fire, The Greeks had ever a childish imagination, and this is one of tho es- pecially weak examples. They were eager explain every- to The Cascadea of the Columbia more beantiful, more | others, are standing almost to their | broad glacis or slope before there ever was a viver at all.

" Europe was so called after Europa one of the many loves of Zeus, Tonians were descended from To, an other love, and so on. With regard to the Egyptian pyramids we arc i a position superior to the Groeks, f we know perfectly well that were pyramids in Mexico, whicl be anterior to those of Egypt kn moreover, that many of decorations believed to be original with the Egyptians belong really Mexico and Central America wrchitects are agreed that the th of Egyptian hitecture, the gov | ing motive, seems to have beer | rived from a style cognate with of Palenque and Exmal. Pu these thi together, and remer ing that Mexico and Central Am¢ are distinctly voleanic, may we believe that both the pyramids of west and the distant east, nay, the terraces of the aboriginal A cans, wore copies of the natural f [ of busalt. 1 ore may W 1l t n rms ' copy nature in an carly race is, indeed, a ditticult thing, lut | to crystalizo an abstract thought 1ito an architectural systom, is an i possibility. [ RUGGED GRANDEUR AND SOFT BEAUTY The greatest beauty of the tain forms, in my judgment, is the when it is upheaved. Lot the of The Chronicle fancy a broad terrace several hundred yards in width, that comes down to the wa ter's edge, and rises by slight grada tions to a height between 2,000 and 3,000 fect. These terraces are popu arly called devil's dykes, for in every thing that is sublime the vuigar wind sees the hand of the evil one than the finger of God. Ingersollis undoubtedly an_extrenist, but there is some oxcuse for him in the reflec tion that, churchmen have 8o vigor ously miseducated humanity that such ablunderis possible. Had the church fultilled its duty, or done even a tithe of what it might have done, the terr ble mantle of horror which has dark encd men's minds and kept them from the sunlight of God’s providence | would neverhave crazed human beings, This en parenthese, a natural outburst it must be allowed, for these unheaved terraces are very dear to me. Fo here the grasses grow softest and greenest and cover the red voleano soil, with a tender, And here the firs g straight Here too, ar of wild roses of Sometimes in the center of such dyke there is a slightly elevated ridg mostly of boulder-hike masses of ba salt. ~Among these, the wild syring blooms with admirable luxuriousnc so that at a distance the bushes seem like patches of late snow. The odors | or this bush resemble faintly the cx quisite perfume of the orange, and when these combine with the fra ance of the wild roses and the bal uic smell of the five, the air is heavy with sweets, that delight without clo, i nd stimulate without reacti in the center bu springs that wickle slow! terrace with many devious windings, wandering downward, but still. moviny towards tho edge, where they pour their erystal drops in a faint shower f spray into the abyss below. Tt delightful to mount steadily u; ward to the very end of the dyke, and stand against the sky and look down ward upon the trees in the gorge and outwards against the slopes and ter- races of the central plateau. Up in this region the rain does not fall so eternally as in Portland, where a Parsiu would be asunhappy and as un- able to see the sunas in London itself, Here the sun shines brightly and warmly, but theair is not enervating and thie heat is not oppressive. The golden rays gild every thing with a superb glory, and one watches the white fleecy clouds sailing over evory- thing, making shadows over the glit- tering river and casting a momentary gloom upon the little footpath through the gorge. The blood bounds in one’s veins and one feels an intense delight in livi neffable thankfullness to the Great Father of us all. THE SNOW-CLAD MOUNTAINS, But the crowning splendor of all is when one turns one’s eyes either to the north towards Mount Adams, or to the south towards Mount Hood; for these are the only snow peaks vigible from the immediate neighbor- hood of the river. The time will soon come, I trust, when there will be stage routes through the Cascade mountains, and when it will be possi- ble to sever one’s connection with the river, and pass the whole secason in the company of these giants of the Cascade range. 1 have seen the mountains of the French Alps and of the Apennines, but these of the Cascade have a peculiarity verysingular and very beautiful The snew-line beging almost at the level of the plateau, and this varies from 4,600 to 5,000 feet; so that these gants are really’ snow-clad—not merely topped with snow. They have the appearance of lhuge pyramids of snow, through which one discerns, here and there, the basalt bones, in ridges and oceasional pr ciptio At the point T am d seribi s nearer to Mount Ad- | ams t Mount Hood, but suffici velvety earpot tallest and bushes of v immense sz it | ently close tothe latterto beimpressed andeur and i thoroughly by its [ beauty. Mo those who haye the color senso the sight of these immense white pyramids against the | ky will ever be one of the grand sensi- tions of their existence, Tt is uscless [ to attempt to describe what is inde seribable, How can color be de soribed, orin what words can non explain. what is a sense, a fooling The purity of it, the depth of it, the inunensity of 1t are what one feels most when, gazing at such o spectas cle.

That, however, is flickering and compara- tively evanescent. This fades slowly into * darkness through a long, long twilight, aud at last becomes a faint | cloud as the darkness falls upon the mountains, and the stars shed their light like dew. ), supernal ted unon mountaing ather | "RIDAY JUNE 24, 1881, | WAS HE “HoODOOD?" ‘ .

This morning just previous | to the departure of the Kansas City, | Fort Scott and Gulf train for Fort Scott, a litter borne by three gentle- men, one of whom was Dr. Miller, of of Liberty, Clay county, was moyed swiftly through™ the crowd from the Hannibal and St. Joseph train and finally deposited in the baggage car of the Fort Scott train. Upon it was strotched what appeared to be a large and powerful negro. He was covered with a sheet excepting the face, which was protected by a misquito netting, | Dr. Miller was * questioned by o Mail sporter and stated that the man was | not dead, but that his back was broken | and he had sustained other serions in- juries under most mysterious cireum stances, and that | PARALYSIS HAD RESULTED, The doctor kindly went back with the reporter to the side of the sufferer, who made the following remarkable statement: My name is James Mont- comery. T am'a singlo man and _my mother and five brothers live at Fort Scott. One of my brothers isa police- man there. 1 came to Kansas City some thme ago to look for work and | Tatterly T have been employed by M. Bermingham a sand hauler in nsas City as a teamster. On last Thursday o'clock T started with three other men to go out towards | Pleasant Hill for Mr. Bermingham to get some wheat he had bought. He bought it of & man by the ne of Bill Webster. One of the men who went with me was named George Smith, The other two T did not know. Before we starfed we went down on Market square and bought A PINT OF ALCOHOL and-some whiskey. We got out to the farmer’s and put on our loads and started back., We were drinking all | the time and got protty drunk. 1 | don’t remember anything move,” | motning about six | The doctor tells me 1 was found is | overin Clay county, seven or ecight miles away. but 1 don’t know how I wot there, hurt wd T don’t know how T got 1 have a sort of recolloction that nto a row with 1 got the other men and they hurt me pretty bad.” DI MILL then related the manner of Mont- gomery’s being found, in substance as follows “On Thursday evening Mr. John Fraiser, a farmer living in Clay coun- ty, somo six milos from Kansas City and out toward Liberty, first discover- ed Montgomery lying by the side of road: At the time of his discovery he was COMPLETELY NAKED, There was not a vegtige of clothing apon him or in his vicinity. Aid was procured and he was taken to the Clay county Infirmary. Res- toratives were applied and conscious- ness came to him, but at first he could toll us nothing; subsequently he told us of his relatives and desired to be sent there. As to how he came to be injured I have no idea. Heis com- pletely paralyzed in arms and in all of the lower portions of his body. He will probably LIVE FOUR DAYS, but if he should he will always be as you see him now. His stomach, bowels and all the lower organs are paralyzed.” The reporter then made diligent search for Bermingham, as he had some curiosity to see what light he could throw on the subject, as well as to learn the whereabouts of the men who accompanied Montgomery on Thu But he was nowhere to be found. Altogether it is a most wmysterious affair, and one which claims the atten- tion of the authorities and their strict investigation Frand.
