Quito a large portion of It is until for cultivation, aud the farm sites are scattered, but the hills and uplands are covered with bunch grass sufficient to graze a largj amount of stock, aud I am told that horses will do better than cattle. Just at this se.at.on fish is abundant, so much so 1 hat the vicinity of our camp smells like a fih market. The fisb peculiar lo tbls coun try are salmon trout, suckers, and the Wallo wa lake, a sheet of water about 5 mile long and from 1 to IK miles wide, Is actually alive with a fish called red fish, 'this ti.b is evi dently a specie of salinou tbat has at some pnriuu Keen placed in the lake through vol canio agency, and which has undergone a change ot form. They range from 1 $ to 2 feet lung. Tbe males are of reddish color on tbe outside, with a round bauk and a book shaped suout. The females are quite dark and have preserved tbe salmon shape, and are mistaken by many for salmon trout. As many as 70 of these fish have been killed in one day by a party or six or eight soldiers. They are far superior to salmon for food, and tbe female has the delicious flavor of tbe best trout. Although very little game has been killed as yer, still, according to the signs, it must be abundant; aud bear stories am re lated around tbe camp tires every eveninit. The health of the troops is excellent and we would be well plowed to have the same tiling occur every bu minor, If posibiu.

"J ' The simple facts as they appear to the writer aro tfiujot For.maoy years.'fay Iroin 1850 at (efcst, the Wiiole country, North and Sou b, had been intensely agitated onahe slavery question, aud (that agitation hd oulniiuaied lu civil war in Itjtil. ,Fromi'ul lo '6J the war continued and while it lasted It overshadowed every other Interest .Theoounlry was rooked to Its center, and all the energies of the peo ple wholly engrossed in tbe conflict. If a candidate was right on tbq slavery question, or to put It in the expressive phrase' ol tho day, "all right on the goose," no matter what uls character or qualifications otherwise, ne was nc ror any eince ne migiu aspire to, The ustnral consequences folio wed.that when honest men went to the field,1 cowards and knaves skulked at unne and seized on the spoils of olllce. -iTiioy could shout loud lor tho blue or the gray as suited them bast, aud, the, people taking their shouting instead 01 service, they ensconced themselves in Jat of fices, not to serve tbe people but theueves, not to deal honestly, but, with, brazen elfrnnt ery and double laced baseucs, to debauch tbo public service and enrich themselves. It was tbe old story of the rats eating the corn while the oats were away. But when the men came bick from thenar with their contempt of bummers, they hnd tbe leisure, and tboy were ready, to begin houso-clraning on a pretty extenslvo scale. They lound the thieves very strongly in trenched honeier, und very defiant, very tat Biid very cunning. Now the boldieis had learuid not only to despise and punish kuaverv, but the v bad learned to oimblce their ellorts as well and to mass lhnir fnrens; they had liarned alike to command and fo obey and they were ripe for co-operation. They had learned still more tbau this, they bad leirued to look beyoud the narrow limits of the farm and tho narrow bouuds of thtir own petty ambitions and to embrace In their sympathies the wauls of tbe whole country; and still further, tbe habltsof companionship and social intvrconrse formed iu tbn armv still clung fo the men, and the Isolation of farm was irksome to them. Their minds were quickened by their travels, their asso ciations and tbe great events of which tboy had bren so Important a part and tbe dull routine of farm labor, unrelieved, palled upon them. Tho country was ripofor organization; the occasion and the material wero alike ready aud It needed but a spark to dry kind ling to light the flame. And so mil giant Older sprang iuto exis'uute, with all tbe ele ments of strength, and with tho men who should com poio It ready drilled for any acllvo aud honorable cant paigu. And agalu, not 10 attribute to this one can ho too much of the eUVct, tho loneliness and seclusion of quiet farm life after tho ex citementsof tbo war aud long com pnnioushlp of sympathetic compatiiotH, made asMida tion very pleasant to tho larmera. They Ilk, d to meet together, aud thny, liked tn take their wives, trom whom they'were so long separated, to join with them in their asso ciations, and particularly their festivities.

Allowing thot he is correct in that particular, the question aiises, Cm btieh wool he certnlnly nnii constant ly piodueed without frequently recurring to tho two breeds of sheep mentioned V If experience would furnish mi uflhni tlve answer to this question, wool-giow-ers might reasonahly hogin to look to Franco anil Now Zealand us sources of supply of a new and desirable breed of sheep.' Tt Is now many yeais slnoo tho wool-growers of the woild wcie informed that ou tho laim of Mauchamp, in "France, a i.tm lamb had been dropped bearing stieh a Ileece as is commonly produced by breeding tho Merino ami Leicester or Cotaowhl together. It was claimed us of pit 10 Merino blood, anil was bred from. Tho description of it fully justified Henry S. Ilnnditll, author of "Tho I'iiiuticnl Shepherd," iu pro nouncing it a mongrel Hheep, autl tho name subsequently given tin! Hook which originated trom it, that of tho "Dlslily Mauehump Merino," Hiilllcleiitly Indi cates thnt thero was Leicester blood in It. Wo now hear no uioie of it, which wo might justly expect to do liutl the (lock essoined n settled, llxed character as a breed. Turning our attention to Australia and New Zealand, whence conslderable quiuititlcs of tliut kind of wool havo ut times 1 cached the English ami American markets, wo Dud reason to believe that the wool was produced by crossing tho Mel 1 no lloeks of these couutiks with long-wooled rams from Hi Haiti of the Leicester, Colswoltl, and Lincoln breeds, two crosses being niatlo with tho object of JuurcuHlng the cuieubs to meet the de mand for mutton sheep lu the gold mining districts of those countries:. Tho lcHtilt of such crossing lias appurcntjy generally been unlavoiablu upon tho permanent value ol a (lock, anil a it'tuin to tho M01I110 hai been almost equally general, but. so far as the wi iter Is In formed, no successful attempt has yet been made to establish a breeding flock of these Intermediate wooled sheep for tho transmission of their tlecco proper ties Into other Docks. The fact cannot ho gainsaid thut this class of wool Is eagerly bought ut high rutes, for tho liner and larger tho'stuplo tho higher the pi ice, but tho supply come as yet from no certain source in any considerable quantity. FIocIch containing a laigo piopottiou of yearling Merino und high grades of that brcid, especially wheio the remaining portion of tho blood is of long-wooled stock, furnish the largest proportion of this kind of wool, but thut Kind of wool Is rarely got from llrst hands in largo vuantltles, and conse quently u vast amount of wool Is han dled and sorted, und then put through the combs, to get perhaps thirty per cent, of good dcluluu wool. This being tho state of things, it seems that wu need either it new breed of sheep or soma of our old lire ds so modified as to pro ihico with icilninty tlio staple lupilicd, Which hliail It i(V .Ions Misio.
