On our Mum from there to the hike, we cmne n diflVrent irnll. which wan mnio ilincl limn ll.e one we went. After traveling nlmul one mile. we ftilmil the muunilt of n low ridge, cov. ereil with low, scrubby, plr.n llnilcr, rose aud prciwwood, which divides tlio river Irom the lake. From law we hud u grand tiew or the Like. Fortunately, we nr rivcil ut this point at the most favorable moment possible In view IliU magnificent landscape, DeaeiUt acleuJIcss iVjr "Jm-I ttlllneii relrns-1 In air," - Hoi een a toeew vii high lb Kwiuner to tear." Not n ripple was seen on the lake, iuvc that made by an occasional Indiiin eanoe, that glided to und fro In front of the vil lages along the hike shore. A mirror of moat mammoth proportions nml exiutslle finish, giving perfect reflections of every object fur a dlilnnco of twenty miles, lay stretched nut before us, wlicro we could koo Ilia distant monntalm, In duplicate, suspended between two rides. The mellow, wlaty mountains Ixsyond the lake, above which lowered the late mow-covered sum siilt of Ml. McLaughlin, were reproduced in all the mlnulla of detail" an Inverted landcae" beneath the lake. We Instinct ively reined up our horses when our eyes caught tho first glimpse or this rare pano rama, and we stood for a few moments si lontly admiring the Beenc. An we slowly rode toward the lake, we discovered neur the further shore u great change biking place. The surface of the lako began to assume a dark, opaque appearance, which spread rapidly In every direction, shutting out mountain after mountain from this op tical painting; and by the tiiuo we arrived at the lako shore it was rippled over by the breeze, and this beautiful diorama dad vanished. I have no doubt that the utllitanarlan churl, Immortalized by the Poet, who, when "I'lac! whew GateklU'a forehead greete the iky Qriev that tuck quartet ell uobewu iliouU lie," And who, when TliM'l where Niegera'a terreats thrill, KicUliueJ, ' a mmitr etrean to turn ralU,' M It placed On Klamath Lake, woal.1 atlll be ntaner, An4 cry, "a (torleae plate to mo a iteainer," Of If, perchuncc, our calculating Individual should bo portable, and conveyance could bo obtained to transport him two miles above Fort Klamath, and ho could there be Placed amonr that tall and (lately timber, HVd think, uo itoutil, "alullj plaee to get out lumber." And If It was not getting so far off from my present stand point, I would put In a lot of and say his bead was rigiu on the lumber question. Hut as we retnm to the fort let us take a utilitarian view of Klamath oountry. "To be or not to be" ft some rmIo white mankind, m the ques Hon.

It Is urguul that It Is loo cold by some, and that too much snow fulls in the winter season. Much 1 woti'ii reicr io mc norm- wutlcrnnml nnrthrtutcrii States, Minnesota und Maine, for instance. Could some of those who Inhabit, nml wcro born nml rnlwil In, tlio high lallludcs of these norlherii Stntes, lie tmnspnrtnl at tint season of I he vmr to the Khiniulh valley, they would be surprised to find so genial u cliin.ilf on the 'JBlli day of November. It Is argued by others that the country Is loo wet! thai there Is too much mnrshy land. I would refer such to the thouiunds of ncrw nf re claimed land In almost every Slate In the Union, which Is now the best hind In them. At tho same time I deny the necessity of even draining thousands of acres In Klnui alh valley, while theie nie many thousands of iicre that enn lie entirely reeliilmed by lrnlnage. For the sum of fifteen ihousand miliars mo wnoie oi rxiainnui iiite iii.ia be lowered six feet, thereby slniiniiiir morn good land than is found in Tnrk'oii county.

I dare say that under the control of such a community. .Judnon i-ouuty would coon bo left behind in wnillh nnd population. If this should meet the eye of any of our colonization friends. I re i-ommeiid this country to their iiticnttnn. Helng theoretically opposed to titllilnnnri- atiWm. I shall leave tho subject nnd pro wwl to camp vm La lake's country vllle, where wp slopped long enough gel u specimen of the water lllly seed, and learn the mod in operandi by which It is prepared for mnrX'-n muek.

This pod Is broken up and the seed extracted; these seed, which urc about the size of u grain of heat, and having a hull like mlllitseeil.uiu pirched, and the hulls removed by rubbing them on n large flat stnno with n kind of pestle, made of n peculiar kind of stone found in that country; nfler this proccs, It is placed in water nnd the hull floats off. When cooked it closely resembled jienrl barley. I suppose It makes n palatable dish. Didn't try it, for feeling u little 'weak in the stoniachc" about that time, couldn't reconcile myself to tho Idea of eating out of an old squaw's "skull cap." Nothing of Importance occurred on our return from here, save the capture of on unlortunatc mud-hen, which had wandered too far from Its favorite element, and had become entangled in tho tall grass. Shortly after our arrival in camp, the sound of the bugle brought tho men in line beforo tho guard-house, nil anxious to know what was np. ' Attention company! front face! forward march!" wero tho quick ejaculations of tho officer. Away went the men in Una of battlo Into the prairie. After marching some two hundred yards, the officer was again heard "Haiti fire!" and in n few minutes tho tall, dry grass In front of camp was on flro for three hun dred yards, crackling and roaring before u stiOT breeze. A grand eceno it wos too, In tt few minutes the flro ran over several hundred acres of land, and arrived at the river, a distance of one mile, where its fur ther progress was arrested. Tho object of burning it waa to prepare it for mowing next year. Next day, the special messenger arrived with a lot of horses. Mounted on one of tho horses was a little, sprightly looking man, dressed In a rather dilapidated suit. On his head he wore an cxteuslvc coon skin cap. Curious to know his business, I watched his movements until I saw him brought up beforo the Captain, who asked him divers questions os to his ?, uotivlty, former servleo etc. Tba Captain, tlwu, after discussing the merju of the article el mar, Administered the itntli which made him urns nf Uncle Hnm'n Internal und external defender.
