2 THE DAILY BEE --OMA Soenery in the Yellowstone National Park, ——— Scenery Along the 81 of Canovs and Mount ains-Beauties of the reat Valley,. N. Y. Times. Maxyorn Hor SPRINGS, YELLOWSTONE Narronal Parg, Wyoming, July 3.—The almost mystical wonderland which Con- ess set apart for public enjoyment some fl years ago, under the name of the Yel- lowstone National Park, is just now get- ting itself intothe condition when tourists may safely and comfortably enjoy its many beauties of climate and scenery and witness the varied phenomena which na- ture has here congregated. 1 have been in the park a week and have not met with a single showerof rain, and yet people who have been here and hereabout for years say that the season is not an un- usually early one. The meadows and the mountain-sides are clothed in luxuriant green, while everywhere the verdure is studded with millions upon millions of flowers of the brightest and most varied hues. At the same time, looking in any direction one chooses, the landscape is bounded by snow-capped peaks, some of which retain their icy coronets through- out the year. For two woeks past the sun’s hot rays have been sending torrents of melted snow down the gulches and ravines and every mountain brooklet is transformed into a tumbling, foamy cascade, along which every rock and boulder and mossy bank shadows the lurking-place of some wily trout or whitefish. ~ The Yellowstone River, as a consequence, is swollen into a magnificent stream, making the grand- est possible diulplny at the Great Falls, ‘where it leaps off from a 350-foot preci- pice and in the Grand Canon just below, where for nearly 20 miles it rushes through a chasm, GPRIE i by cliffs varying from 1,000 to 3,000 feet in height and of gorgeous outline and col. Already there are a few camping par- ties of tourists in the Park from New York and other Eastern cities, most of whom have come in by way of Boseman and Livingston. The first named of these routes involves a journey of nearly 80 miles, and the latter route about 65 miles, to reach the gateway of the Park at the squatter-built town of Gardiner. Parties from Boseman come into the Upper Val- ley of the Yellowstone by way of the Boseman trail, through the mountains, over roads that'are extremely rough and difficult, From Livingston the journey lies all the way through the upper valley. Within an hour after leaving the latter lace, which has grown to be a town of ,000 inhabitants in the lastthree months, the road leads through the First Canon,a picturesque defile, 8o narrow that the old mountain road and the railway line, now building, scarcely find room to run along the river bank., In one place the railway road-bed wipes out the old , and . in another the railway has had to round a rocky promonto: on a pile bridge built in the river itself. In this canon on Saturday last, while riding up the valley to the Park, I was drex?ghes by a heavy thunder shower that was at least refreshing after the intense heat which preceded it. Half an hour the sun was shining aslant the valley, and tipping with silver the snowy crests of Emigrant’s Peak and other nameless pinnacles that form a beauti- fully serrated wall along the eastern bank o“ie river. Emigrant’s Peak seemed about five miles distant when I first saw it, but, though I rode till 8 o'clock at night and was on the way again before 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, it was nearly noon efore we were abrest of it. We d the night at “‘Fridley’s,” a quiet little hostelry and farm kept by a man who came into the valley eighteen years ago. years after he settled here the Indians ed war against him, and he never went out of the house to milk his cow or fetch water from the spring without his rifle in his hand. About 20 miles south of Fridley’s the valley is clipped in the vise_of another rocky gorge, known as the Middle Canon, a singularly wild and gieturelqnu o&l,we The mountains rise ,000 to 3, feet by utoelx) acclivities, and the river sweeps like a mill- race, with numberless eddies whirlpools, between barriers of vertical rocks. This canon forms the angle at which the Yellowstone flows northward, first running almost due :vhut for 20 miles after debouching from 0 a toll-gate has been established by a Ver- monter, known all over this region as “Yankee Jim.” He is a garrulous sort of chap and enjoys and takes no little ride in his local reputation as a liar, ut he is,after all,a genial fellow,who has lined in theso wilds for 18 or 20 years, & solitary bachelor, and has had many ahard “‘rustle,” the boys say, with the Indians He charges $1.60 toll for teams, and 50 cents for pedestrians, under a franchise and { ed earth and clay canon, wagon trail runs through the park past For many | by k, At the south end of the canon | b HA, THUI SDAY JULY 19 1883, A " WESTERN WONDERLAND. |08 AL ™ o Shey v there Tk em walls tosday to 300 feet in eight and 80 feet thick, seaming the ountain from its crest to ita foot. Be- tween the strata there were layers of burn- red, gray, and black and the trituration of wind and rain threugh long cycles of time has worn away this filling, leaving the rocky ridges which separated the earth strata standing up in gigantic outline. There is vein of coal lying at _the back of the hill, and the flower-studded plain at its foot will ere long become the site of anew town, At the head of the val- ley, beyond Cinnabar, the mountains close in upon the river and the country becomes rugged and sterile, covered with great boulders and rocks, 500 to the acre. Amid these barren surroundings the town of Gardner has sprung up within the past 30 days, and_now numbers over 100 sacks, cabins, and tents, with 600 in- habitants, It is situated on a knob of a hill at the confluence of the Gardiner and join the National Park. It is just now the subject of a controversy and litigation between a man named Stone, who repre- sents the Northern Pacific railroad, and who acquired a town site by homestend- ing 160 acres of land as a terminus for the branch railway to the park, and a squatter named Cutler, who *‘jumped the site and has leased lots to the settlors. It is not unlikely that the railroad com- any will choose a new site near Cinna- Efir Mountain and fix their terminus there, leaving Cutler's town entirely ‘‘in the cold” about three, miles away. The new town will be important as the termi- nal station for the Clark’s Forks mining region in Wyoming Territory, and as the end of the railway line by which tourists may reach the Yellowstone Park. [’junving Gardiner, with its array of drinking bars, gambling louses, and dance-houses, the road follows the line of the Gardiner river south-westerly over very huge hills a distance of four miles, to the Mammoth Hot Springs, where I write this letter. The Yellowstone river makes its exit from the park at the third near Gardner, but the Clark's the Hot Springs, Just now the wagon or horseback ride of about 656 miles up the valley, which I have just described, o way of reaching the park from the north, and is the nearest connection by railway fromany direction. The road is difficult and in many places dangerous, but the scenery is wonderously beautiful and the experience novel and adventur- ous and novel. Within 30 days, however, the wagon road and the mountain ride will bea thing of the past, for the branch railway which the Northern Pacific road is building from Livingston park will be finished within that time. Before that time, too, the splendid hotel which is be- ing built here by a company of h “Uncle” Rufus Hatch is the president will be open to receive guests, and the ‘Wonderland of the world, with its moun- tains, canons, boiling springs, stalactite caves, gigantic Geysers, waterfalls, obsid- ian cliffs, and rivers of boiling water, easily accessible to tourists from all lands. e —— MARRIAGE IN CHINA. How the Bride is Delivered to the Groom and How He Makes Her His Wife, From the New York Sun. On the wedding day theguests assemble in the bridegroom's house. Then a pro- cession is formed, consisting of friends, bands of music, and sedan chairs, decor- ated in red and gold, with bearers in red coats, and dressed in sort of alivery, some- times wearing red caps. The procession starts from the house with a ‘courier at the head. He bears a lur%a piece of pork on a tray, to keep off malicious demons who may be lurking on the street corners and in the alleys! These demons are supposed to tackle the pork, and while they are thus busied the procession passes on without being effected by their evil influence. At this time the bride is at her own house, arraying herself in her 8t dress and richest jewels, - Her hair is bound up and arranged in due form and style by a skilled matron. After this her head-dress is donned, It usually consists of some rich material sprinkled with or- naments A large mantle is then thrown over her. It completely covers her. Last of all an enormous hat, as large as an umbrella, is placed on her head: it comes down to her shoulders, completely hiding her face. Thus rigged, -}lu takes ‘her seat in the red gilt marriage-chair, called kwaklau. When concealed in this chair she is carried to her husband by four men. When the bride is seated in the chair, Lir mother, or some other relative locks the door, and the key is given to the best man. I suppose he turns it over to the ridegroom on reachin, house. The procession returns with more care and more style. 1 saw one during a ramble in a Chinese town. As the bride was borne past us we gave three cheers. I dare say that all herchildren will be either knock-kneed or bow-legged because of the cheers of the brbarians, Good luck to the poor bottled up one, She had the best wishes of all our party, aswe follow- ed the procession some squares, to the great astonishment of all the Chinamen granted him by the territory, and in case on the street, of any one ' refusing to the toll, Jim has ly rifle jul:ml':nlidop.zhe door of his cabin. Eastern people always marvel at the size of the fee and contrast it with the frightful quality of the road, but the; fl to r:mm tha bevidwut tll:le a8 it is, it wo imposaible to go up the valley at all, As the procession approached the bride- groom's door a band stationed there struck up a tune, and fire crackers were let off by the box until the bride was carried within the gate. The go-between than got the key from the bridegroom and opened the door of the sedan chair, As the bridv alighted sho was saluted by a small child at the side of the old man. Boon after leaving Jim's , where one may get lager beer at .P to $1.60 per ‘bottle, the valley widens out again, and numerous small homestead ranches are seen on either side of the river, The view is again bounded by snow-clad mountains, chiof among them being the rut crest of Electric Peak, over 10,300 oot }ufh, which stands within the Nation- al Park, At one point the road runs over an enormous promontory called the Point of Rocks, com) of reddish yellow con- glomerate rock, Gigantic boulders poised on the mountain-side threaten every mo- ment to come crashing down on the pass. ing traveler, but these Damoclean perils are not heeded when one turns to gaze on the gorgeous orama of the smilling valley and swift-flowing river shut in by the serrated mountain walls, The scene is a memory for a life-time, even to one who, like myself, has rambled amid the 'A"nd:,mer ranges and peaks of the . The most remarkable formation or ob- Lfl:t in the valley, however, is the singu- eological formation known as Devil's , on the south-easterly face of o bald, reddish cupola uled Cinnabar Mountain.

And she went in to seek him. She still wore the enormous hat and mantle, When she found the grbom he greeted her with great gravity. They both approached the ancestral tablet and bow- 05 their heads three times. 'l‘lmgfi next took their seats at a small table bearin, two goblets tied together with thread an containing wine, The go-between sev- ered the thread, but the bride failed to quench her thirst, owing to her enormous hat and mantle. The two were now man and wife. The husband took the hat and mantle from the bride, and for the first time in his life had a long look at her. After he had looked at her for some minutes he called in his friends and guests. They scrutenized her and made no hones of expressing their opinion concerning her charms, the females gave their tongues full scope and had no mercy on the poor bride, ~She took it all without making any disagreeable answer, for fear that the match would be considered an un- lucky one. These oruel criticisms end- ed, she was introduced to her husband’s parents, after which she saluted her own father and mother. The wedding feast wis then served, the sexes eating in dif- forent apartments. The umfim were served by the bridegroom and ‘his male relatives, and the females by the bride and her mother-in-law, assisted by ser- vants, The two sexes rarely sit down to the same table, E Marriage is very common among the .

Work of the Utah Commission and How It Has Been Treated. Salt Lake Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican, So much has been given to the country relative to the Mormon problem, both true and false, that I wish through your columns to say a fow words to the public in regard to the Utah commission, in justice to a body of men selected and ap- pointed by the president of the United States to execute certain parts of the so- called Edmunds bill of 1882. These five gentlemen were selected from five different states. They are all Gentiles, and, I dare say, as much opposed to pulyumnr as those anti-Mormons of this city whohavecriticised their course, Their powers are limited and are all contained in the last two sections of the law. They came to Utah last August with the sincere‘desire, no doubt, to exccute the law fully, in good faith. They have gone to the utmost verge of their dele- gated powors, and, in the opinion of some persons, have stretched the legal tether a little, in order to make the law effective. How have these gentlemen been treated? As was to have been ex- pected, the Mormons have objected and protested against the law and the manner of its execution; but, as could not reason- ably have been expected, the commission was criticised and censured by a certain class of Gentiles from the beginning. Soon after their arrival in this city they were told by these men, substantially, that they were not wanted here; that they couldn’t legally hold an election for del- egates to congress; that there was not time to make a legal registration, and they had better look around awhile and o back to where they came from. But the commissioners knew enough to know that the laws of the United States declar- ed that every territory should be entitled to a delegate to congress, and that an election for such delegate should be held in every territory, on Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1882, and they were further notified that there was time enough to make a registration. In other words, the commissioners having taken an oath of office to support the constitution and laws of the United States, preferred to obey the laws rather than to violate them at the behest of a small coterie of malcontents. This de- tormination of the commission to obey the laws was their first offence. No, I am too fast. It is evident that they gave mortal offence in coming here at all, The *‘coterie” had not obtained the law which they wanted, and the commission- ers were not selected from the right place —Salt Lake City. The commissioners not complying with the polite request to leave the territory, proceeded te execute the law. After framing rules and regu- lations for registration they appointed registration officers. In making these appointments they acted upon the theory that Gentiles were to be preferred But some instances they had to appoint Mor- mons, which they did upon the recom- mendation of intelligent and honorable Gentiles, that such appointees were the best men to be hMF in those localities. For this the commission have been cen- sured by the *‘coterie.” ’ The commissioners were asked by these men to make an order that the wo- men of Utah should not vote. The com- mission examined the law and found that women suffrage had existed by law in this territory for a number of years, and during that time congress had in effect confirmed and approved the law; so that the commission declined to resort to nul- lification, This raised another howl. ‘Without going into many other partic- ulars showing the unfriendly and unhos- itable treatment which the commission as recoived at the hands of this clique, I will call attention to a very unjust at- tack upon them in a little newspaper of this city, issued last Saturday, in an arti- cle headed ‘‘A Farce.” The writer cen- sures the commission because in their late rules they make the June registration a rovision instead of requiring a new reg- istration by ‘‘going from house to house,” ete. The gentleman who wrote this has certainly never read the law, or he would know that it provides for only one origi- nal registration, and that was in 1878, and that every subsequent registration is only a revision by adding and striking off names. A Salt Lake correspondent of the Globe-Democrat, in the issue of that paper of April 21, 1883, takes the com- missioners to task for holding an election for delggate to congress last August, “in spite of the fact that they were assured by the best Gentiles here (the clique) that there was not then sufticient jime to ar- range for it J)m])erl " It should be borne in mind that the commission had declined to hold an election to fill the un- oxpired term in the Forty-seventh con- ress, and the governor of the territory had refused to order an election for that purpose, but the committee on elections of the house of representatives, in llm.uing upon the application of ', Caine to be admitted to said seat, in the conclusion of their report, said: *‘It is evident that if the office of delegate 18 strictly a territorial office, within the pur- view of the Utah statutes, then the gov- ernor mistook a plain duty in not ull{in a special election to fill an admit vacancy; but if the office be not a terri. torial oftice, strictly speaking, then it is a clear casus omissus, In either event the people should not be deprived of a right Ruaranteed to them by -u‘mun public law, especially when they have performed their vhole duty in the premises by fairly choosing as their delegate a citizen against whuusa Mmission no- disqualification is urged. his report was unanimously adopted l(?y the house of representatives and Mr. ‘aine admitted, Now if the commission are to be im- paled for allowing the people of this ter- ritory the free exercise of *'a right guar- anteed to them by solemn public law” in electing a delegate to the Forty-eighth congress, what ought to be done with the Forty-seventh congress for giving the seat to a4 man who was elected at the same time by the people duu}:itu the non- action of the governor of the territory, as well as the commission? This writer also says that ‘‘amongother rulings the commission declared thatmen and women who for years had been out of polygay, and hated it with a holy lnm'u-l, shonld not vote, Widows, who years ago had been the fivst and the legal wives of men long dead at the time of the ruling, and who Ewd always opposed po- lyfum , were ruled out and msultingly told that they would first have to be par- doned by the president.” ~ The rule made by the commission deprived from regis- tration all persons who had ever been in —T— ‘:fllyg‘nmy, While it may have operated arshly in a few instances, it was re- ceived with favor by fair-thinking Gen- tiles, because they knew that a rule that would have let in one of those referred to by the writer would have admitted a score of Mormon voters. But the crowning act of infamy in the eyes of this sweet-scented patriot, this would-be official hanging on_to the ragged edge of hope deferred, the com- missioners made a ‘‘rosy report” to the secretary of the interior, which prevented Senator Edmunds from having another bill passed to give needed strength to existing statutes, How inconsistent, when it is a matter of history, that the very lnws sought to be enacted by Sena- tor” Edmunds were those recommended by the commission in this same ‘‘rosy report.” But this communication is already too long. These are only a few specimens of the wise incubations of the ‘‘coterie.” The people of the United States are fast find- ing out that there is a very small clique in Utah, who would rather destroy the Mormons than reform them; who would not care a cent for polygamy if they, the clique, could hold all the offices, and who for years have vilifiedand traduced every federal official who refused to violate the law and his official oath at t| dicta- tion, FAIRPLAY GENTILE, e — *Far more valuable than those golden apples of Hesperides are the life, health and beauty of Womanhood.

We may easily realize the increased need of luc)micurtminin to-day over the necessity of two thousand years ago. At that time, the artist himself did the work, the actual labor; he evolved the idea and executed it, the brain that conceived the thought guided the hand that gave that thought substance and shape. Every touch of the chisel imparted life, for the spirit of the worker went into the stone, and it was molded and shaped by the genius of the thinker. Now it is me- chanical: the artist originates, others exe- cute, and this execution must follow patterns, designs, plans. No scope is given the workngn; he is bound by lines beyond which he dare not go, and his tancy, if he has any, serves naught in the creation of his subject; drawings control this creation, and the living translator of those drawings, from what was in the past an intelligent reasoner, has become in the present an automatic machine. Disposing thus of a man’s individuality, some means are essential to convey the thought of the designer into the hand of worker, and customs have grown and laws have been adopted that will serve asa sort of mental telegraph between these two—laws which govern the flight of the artist's fancy and instruct the arti- san in an understanding of the designer's purposes. Taking this view of the situa- tion, is is certainly necessrry that talent should be technically tempered.—A.Cur- 718 BoND, in[Popular Science Monthly for August. e —— ANOTHER LIFE SAVED, J. C.
