is a pleasant little watering place, ambitions
of being the Sarawgn of the Pacific Coast.
Here tourists to the Geysers stay all night,
and charter conveyances for the wonderful
drive act-om the mountains. The traveller
from San Francisco reaches here in time for
an evening stroll among the steam springs
and hot baths of this little Baden and a res-
pectable meal in a very summery dining-
room
The question, more inter-mating than that
of food to the forty guests who arrived with
us, was, “ where shall we all sleep.” It was
evident that. the hotel proper could not. ac—
commodate half the numbt r. “’ben bed
time came, each group followed a porter with
a lantern and, traversing a little park, was
safely housed in a cosy cottage, containing a
sitting-room and two bed-rooms, neatly fur-
nished and thoroughly comfortable. A brisk
fire in an open fire place removed all fear of
dampncm and we bade each other good night,
thinking well of Cnlistoga. A ludicrous in—
cident for a time banished sleep. The other
parson had been left at the hotel. reading up
the guide. while your correspondent and the
lawyer sought the cottage. An hour Imsscd
and the missing divine did not appear. An-
other hour. and the low and gospel were
rudclv awakened by the (lominic, who had
been scorching for us through the wet grass,
had missed his way, had found a room with
sixtocn beds in it, had tried one of these, had
left in disgust, and now half dressed, with
unkcmpt hair and loaded down with books
and bumllcs thundered at our door. Early
morning found us examining the
PETRIII'IEI) GRO’I‘I‘O.
Near the hotel is a grove of petrified trees
of magnificent size. {Pieces have bccn

E bis audacious and yet. skillful driving. As
I we lcnmcd to our satisfaction, he will scnd

I will hesitate to drive at all. For a few miles
thc road crosses a comparatively lcvcl coun-
try and the large wagons with their largo
load.- rumhlcd and sang their way along.
At a way sltlc house the parties of twelve
. and sixteen are halved and quartered and
, stowed away. thus diminished. in light but
f strong Concord wagons, drawn by six and
§ eight horses. From this change we began
our experience of the mountain roads of (‘nL
ifomia. The carriage road up Mt. Washing-
ton docs not equal the Geyser road in rmmm-
tic grandeur and apparent danger. Cut in»
to the flank of the mountain; crawling up
toward the summit; turning upon itself;
now built of earth and now of rock; cross-
ing gulleys on timber bridges. stone culverts
and trunks of trees. the road compels all the
faculties to be on the alert. But tlw view is
out: of the finest. Wc skirt the base of Mt.
St. llclcmt and find its dome form gradually
changctl into a graceful peak; over a spur of
chscr mountain and note the flag stafi' on
its summit; obscure the strange vegetation so
unlike that of the East: the stranger volcan-
ic rocks contorted asonly such rocks arc; and
come at length to the summit from which
we look off on four countics. and. as Starr
King says of the view of Mt. \Vaslrington,
“ on the tumultuous bombnst of the land—
scape.“
Thus far we had climbed the mountain,
our teams occasionally resting. “’0 had
seen little of the excitement of fast driving.
But certain signs mode it evident that we
were no longer to go ngnlnst gravity but
were to have all and more of gmvilntion's
help than was actually necdcd. \Vbilc giv-
ing the horses breath on thc summit. the
driver examines the brake, tries the lmmvsw,
rc-atljusts his load, nnd finding all things well,
cracks his whip like a pistol shot and we rut-
tlc down the mountain.

cry the timid ones who are speedily hushed
by the driver's assurance of safety. Four
mila are between us and the chscrs; four
miles of steepness like a Gothic roof, and of
crookedncm, like a scrpent‘s trail. The road
is not a foot wider than the wagon. On one
side the mountain. on the other a precipice,
at the bottom a river, and down the road we
rush on the gallop and make our four miles
in eighteen minutes Yet reckless as this
driving seemed the eight wagons all came
safely. and not one has yet been injured on
what is, confmcdly, the most dangerous
curringc road in the State.
Occupied as we had occasion to be in bold-
lng on and maintaining equilibrium, we had
yet noticed, half way down the mountain.
an abominably sulphur-eons smell. It grew
stronger, denser, more penetrating as we de-
scended, until at the hotel the prominent im-
pression was that of a recent catastrophe in
decayed eggs
But nmare like cars; they speedily be-
come accustomed to new sensations, and a
half an hour’s stay in the Devil’s Canyon
rendered the sulphuretted hydrogen imper-
ceptible. Through a little gully flows the
Pluton River, and on its banks stands the
Geyser Howl, with its Swiss landlord, its
French landlady, its
Pantsux coon
and French waiters! Verlly! . here, thirty
miles in the wilderness, we found the Gaul
catering to the Saxon and the Saxon com-
pelled to acknowledge the Ganl’e superiority
in the cut'u‘m if not. in war.

chalybeate spring and a cold and delightful
fountain. while between them flows a rlvu-
let of scalding water. Laborionaly climbing
over slippery rocks and through oozy mud
we reach the ’
wrrcm camnon.
Under the overhanging bank is this pool of
inky and turbid water, boiling furio ugly?
wide enough to immerse an ox, and how
deep no man knows. Few are able to es-
cape the feeling of terror which this horrible
hole inspires. One feels as if one was in too
close contact with nature‘s secrets and as if
some of her genii might leap forth to punish
human tenterity. Yet here we were ; walled
in by the grimimt of all walls; the earth
trembling and groaning; jets of steam and
hot water compelling caution ; grcat terrors
behind and greater yet to come. At. this
point some timid ones lagged, but the others
climbed on to find an explanation of the
MYB'I‘ERIOUS BOARING
board ever since the climb began. Turning
a sharp corner and climbing around a huge
rock, encrusted with sulphur-eons crystals
and called the Devil‘s Pulpit, the party are
confronted by an immense bank of earth,
honey-combed and trembling through its en-
tire mass; each hole and crevice spouting
steam, hot water and mud, with a noise as
loud as that from the escape-pipe of a first
class steamer. This is the famous steamboat
Geyser. One or two of the most ndvcn-
turous crawl round to its windward sides,
climb up among the jets and thrusting their
nlpcnstocks into the 0020, form new holes
through which the volcanic force finds vent.
A guide shouts frantically, “ come down,
come down." and when the party is safe,
tells of a tourist who two weeks before
slipped on the treacherous mound and was
badly scolded. -
Above, and to the right, on a bench or to—
blc land, is the crater, a volcano on 11 small
sonic, sometimes spouting water and steam
but at this time inactive. The whole neigh-
borhood seems to be undergirdcd with lxid~
den chemical and volcanic forces, and stand-
ing near the crater the cvc takes in more
than u lmudrt‘djcts of steam. while out of the
Devil's Canyon, it rolls in enormous masses.
Above the point whom the canyon nar-
rows and slmllows until it is no more than
a groove in the bill side, the mountain rises
for lifter-n hundred fcct. Not satisfied with
the day's work, the law and thc gospel, in

course (lelivcrcd in New Ilatvcn, April 25th,
1888. by Prof. James L. Kingslcy, of Yale
College, (mo of lllt.‘ most accurate scholars
and thoroughly reliable historians cvt-r
known in this country. He states that he
has searched all the records. and converscd
with the oldest clerks ol the Connecticut
Colonies, but no traces of tho fur-famed Bluc
Laws could be discovered. The oldest in-
habitants, whose memory reached far back
of the Revolution. never saw or heard of
them, till Samuel Peters published a book in
England, so filled with falsehoods respecting
the Colonies in Connecticut, that even he
himself was surprised that any body be-
lieved him. In that book he states, that
“ the river Connecticut, two hundred miles
from its mouth, passes through a gorge be-
tween two sheltering rocks, and the water is
so hardened by compression that an iron
crowbar cannot be thrust into it," and yet he
says “ a squaw passed safely through the
gorge in a canoe."
Is it not marvelous that 11 book written
near one hundred years ago, by a renegade
Tory, avowcdly to prejudice Great Britain
against. his country, and so full of manifest
falsehoods, that no one at the time thought
it worth while to contradict it. should be
quoted at this late day by respectable writers,
and extracts from it published through the
land, as actual fragments of history?
15 it. not maniftst that. some men delight
in lids, and love to repeat them, especially
when they go to disparage the characters of
great and good men, whose memory,acwrd-
to scripture, is blessed ?
