YruLowsToNk|NaTroNaL Pu X, Aug. 16.— Aftor leaving our ecanp the mountain réad leads along Gibbon oreek, throngh s deep out canyon and soon comes to MANY MORR BOILING BIRINGS of the same nuture as thoso described yestorday. The roads here are ef a mountainous nature, up and down, first along the brink of & high bluff, with the rocky precipices below, then over a bald peak and dow:: again, The most of the way the pines are dense and as straight as reeds. After a fow houra' drive we come to THE GIBBON PALLS, some 400 feet below the road, with a fall of 80 feet. There are no more striking features about the waterfall of the rivers of the park than thoso of the Geneseo falls, at Rocaester, N. Y., and the man who attempts te co pare the beautiful Niagara to the falls of tho Yellowstone park, should b subjected to imprisonment for life. 1 have often read flowery articies by brilliant writers about THE HEAAENLY PARADINE ON EARTH with much_interest, and had formed the idea that the Yellowstone park was all aglow with splender, but I regret to atate that my experience for five days here does not corroborate the above supposition, In fact, if Heaven is like this and the roads leading there aro of a mountainous Kind, I that but a small per cent of the people will ever get there. There are no accommodations of any kind in the park, and the tourist must provide for himself before en- tering and cook his hash on the wey, and wherever mght overtakes him he can reclineon the boscia of mother earth and use the soft side of a lava rock for a pillow. If he be a good anorer he may succeed in keeping the bears away; 1f not, he had better ROOST IN A TRLE 1 do not consider travel over these roads nor the kcenery along the same to bo heavenly.

This is the ouly build- ing we have scen in the purk since leaving the headquarters, It is & new log house clean and nice, und is an outfiting point for tourists, Pro- visions, goods, etc., can be had here at exorbitant prices, but thatis better than nothing, I seo the names of Mr, and Mrs, G W, Lininger, Mr. and Mrs, Reuben Allen, Miss Florenco Liniu- ger, Miss Eva Allen, 0. 8, Wood and H.

It is identical with that found inside of a tea kotile and of the same texture and color, This mound 18 some 100 ieet higher than the Yive Hole river bulow, and has been formed by the deposit, and covers an area of about '"EMBER 7, 1-8% round the edges, and trickles down the small steps which extend to the river below. The other is of quite a different nature and boils constantly and has A VOLCANIO ERUPTION rogularly every twenty four hours, When these eruptions ocour hot water aud rock (deposit) are thrown at least 200 feet high The approach for a distavoe of 100 feet is covered with piecea of this rock that have been thrown out of the hole. I saw some pieces that were as large as a man's hand, though most of them are the wze of heus' eggs, only flat. The mouth of this hole is about ninety- five feet in diameter, and the lower side of the basin has been broken away by the overflow. DURING THESE BRUPTIONS, which last for an hour, the water! in the river is raised sixteen inches, The deposit on this mound and around these two holes, which are about twonty rods apart, is hard, and teaws drive on it, Now the hole is visible fora depth of some twenty feet, and 18 composed of layers of this lime de- poeit as far down as can bo seen. The drivers have camped for the night zear here, where we will remain until the well *‘shoots off,” which will be between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morsivg. Sowe twenty rods forther along and in range with the otner holes, evi dontly on the same seam, is a curious orater some fifteen feet in diameter, where ouce, no doubt, the main out- let was, but now it forms a sewer for the overflow of the other, that is that part of it that comes this way.

August 17th, The n.ght was some- what rainy with considcrably thunder. Our blankets are wet through, aid everyone looks cross and wants to go home. The weather is bright this morning and the temperature about 452, At 7:30 a. . all hands assom- bie to witness the *‘firing off” ot this great natural chemical laboratory. As I stand waiting in the center «f a great valloy, Icount 27 high peaks of the continuous ravge of mountaius that surrounds this valley, all covered with a dense growth of piues, except the extremely high peaks. The puies are from two to twelve inches - dia- meter, and in mauy places (I think fully one-half) they have been killed by fire and been blown down. The amount of wood lying around this country would, if near & railroad, bo worth more than tho whoie park At 8 o'clock sharp the waters begin to become agitated to & furious de- ureo. A deuse steam fi ls the air; the tremendous roar and splash from the chasm, some forty feet buelow the crown of the mound, send a thrill through ones veins. A moment more wnd all 18 quiet again, This is only one of the convulsions that happen {avery hour. Another hour, and the {vhiug is expected to throw out water enonsh to eaise thu river a fuot or e nnd rock enough to, build a small house. 4 The sun shires hot. At 8:20 the water in the last fifteen minutes hao raised in the well over a foot, and now began to boil ugain. A 9 o'clock, to the minute, with a roar and spout of stewm, a spray of water and steam filled the air with BPARKLING CRYBTALS of water which rose to a height of somoe 200 feet and fell in large drops ound the edges for a disiance of 50 ot, 'The wholo operation lusicd | fe | ) | only about a miuute, beiny one of the regular convulsions, Time ben limived, wo proceed six miles ou- ward to the upper geysurs, not kuow- ing definitely when this “fice holo” breaks loose, Along the road are offshoots of these main outlets that are very pretty.

This deposit is continually forming about these loles, from the steamn which coustantly escapes, aud is now some eight feet higher than the Some for a distance of fifteen miles, there is & contlnual cropping ont of these boiling aprings and geysers, many of minor importance, and some are THR GREATEST OURIOSITIES that history records. No place on earth is] found any comparison to the working of these automatic force pumps of boiling hot water. For miles the wagon traverses the old limo beds that were formed by the deposit In years gono by, The opon- ings of the great work seem to be changing, as ono dies cut or conses to spout, it forms a quiet basin of boiling water. After yonrs standing in this condition it gradaally retires, loaving a boiling mass of thick paint-like atutl, and in time this aries up and leaves only a hols, wheresteam and hot gasses exnume., The deposit gradually forma from this steam and coutracts at the top, and finally closes over entirely. A few moro years and tho maas eatehes somo pine seeds, and a tree grows over the ouco fiery fur naoe, We drove over several of these places, which were readily detected by the hollow sound undernesth, Se- eral old craters, where once the melted lava poured forth, are seen en routo, but now they are filled up, leaving only & funnelshaped depression. Theso fountains of wonder are princi pally side shoots, where tho residum of the volcanical eruptions breaks forth through the originai lava beds, which ace now mostly covered with soil and a seanty growth of vegetation Ton minutes’ walk brings us opposite “THE BAW MILL," which spouts alternately with ‘‘the Fowatain,” They are located about twenty rods apuart, and each throws water about ftitty foet high. The! former is now working, and resemblea the puffing of an exhaust pipe fror an engine, but throws water with the steam. A few rods further on is ‘‘the Castle.” Here a regular castle has boen formed by tho deposit, rsing the pinnacle of a mound of lime fifty feet high. The base of this castle 18 seventy five feet and the top fitty feet in diameter and is some forty feet high. About THREE TIMES A MINUTE, the water spurta above the top in iarge wlistening drops, to s height of about 100 fect und resemb'es the very top of astreatn thrown from a Farnam street hydrant. T was notable to look into the hole. Not 8o much stoam comes from *‘The Fountain,”" which allows a bet- ter view of it, yot this water is rcatd- g hot.

F. The Trial of Little. Spocial Dinpatch to Tus Bux Memrnss, Tenn., August 31, —The Avalunche's Huntsville (Ala.) special says the most interesting attraction in Huntsville to-day was the trial of Dick Lattle, which was bogun at 10 a. m, before Commissioners Bone and McCullough. The prisoner came in early, eviden‘ly in the best of spirits. I'he court room was filled to overflow- ing. The first witness called was Mra, Jesse Jemee, who was examined at longth. It waas developed in the first part of the testimony that Frank and Jesse James, with their families, lived in Nusaville from November, 1880, until the latter part of March, 1881, Here 1ents were nod at all damaging to the prisoners, and 8o far as tho Muscle Shoals robbery is con cerued, Mres, James exploded the story that hus been going the rounds of the press aboat her roturning a watch to Mr. Davey, of Philadelphia. She in dignastly denied doiug so, but claimed thrt Littlestolo the watch and returned it in Ler npame. Alex (.

A large meoting was held at the pavilion, and some brilliant speeches were made by several distinguished speakors, At 6 p. m. the most inter- esting featare of the reunion was the grand dress parade, in which General C. H. Frederick, chief of staff to General Thayer, conducted the pa- rade. There were at least 3,000 men in lins, and the line, when formed, oxtonded nearly a quarter of a mile. Gen, Froderick then massed all the bands, fifteen in number, and as they marched down the long line the scene was grand, The soldiers, all veteraus, actod as though they had never been ovt of practice. After the dress pa- rade the twenty-five thousand people present witnessed asoa fight between the Monitor and the Fort. The bumbs bursting in the sir, and the ficing of tho hoavy artillevy gurs was graud and exciting in the extreme. Iu fact it was an exact representation of actual warfare. This evening there is another grand rally at the pavillion. To-morrow the grand sham fight takes place. The success of the reunion yond all precedent.
