' We left Green River Sta tion, U. P. It. Maj 22, 1871. We were provided with three splendid boats, '22 feet long and f)J feet beam. Amidships, forward and ait, a water tight coin part ui:nt is built fur holding provisions, instruments, photographic materials and so on. Thia leaves a vacant place forward and aft for the rowers, the steersman hitting on the after cabin. Wc were loaded with two months' supplies, the rest having been sent round to meet us at various point? along the route. We pulled out, our party numberiLg eleven, Major Powell with the first boat acting as guide and pilot for the expedition. For the first sixty miles wc met with no serious rapids or obstructions of con sequence. June 2d we entered lted CaDjon and ran some very bad falls, passing one of which, the Nellie Powell, i'rof. Thompson's boat was capsized, spilling the crew into the boiling flood, and losing everything that happened to be tying around loose. The main cargo, being under hatches, was pre served from damage. One of the party caved in. For six days we had tolera. bly lively times, making twenty miles, and running about fifty rapids. At one fall wo had to carry our boats seventy fivo yards over cliffs thirty feet high. June 11th we were in Brown's Hole. Here one of the party, F. C. A. Rich ardson, of Chicago, gave up tho race on account of sickness, and started for home. We entered the canyon of Lo dore JuDe 17th, our first portage here being at Disaster Falls, and Hell's Half Mile, besides numerous line portages. The distance through this canyon is about sixteen miles. We found the walls composed of red sandstone, vary ing in height from 2,000 to 3,500 feet. At tho junction of the Green and Bear rivers we found Kcho Park. It is about three miles in circumference. It is hemmed in by vertical walls 1,000 to 2,000 feet high, and consequently accessible only by the rivur. While camped here a party of us ascended tin Bear river fifteen miles, and made a topographical map aud about twenty negatives. j We passed through Whirlpool Canyon, and then we entered Island Park. This is about fifteen miles long, and fertile in some places. It would make a spleudid stock ranch It is surrounded by high, broken mountains and crags. From the top of one crag 3,000 feet high I had some noble views. Through Craggy or .Split mountain, a distance of fifteen miles, we encountered several bad rap ids and falls. Cleariug this, we enter ed the valley of the Uintah and had fair sailing for about eighty miles. At Uiutah Agency we received supplies. Starting out August 5th we entered the canyon of Desolation, and tor one hundred miles again encountered rocks and rapids. We agaiu received a mail and supplies at Gunnison's Crossing, brought in by Major Powell from Salt Lake, he having left us at the Uinah Agency. From Gunnison's Crossing to the Paria river, about three hundred miles, we had mostly all i canyons, and made about forty mile portages, besides running aboutonc hundred bad rapids. The walls vary from 500 to 4,000 feet high, and are verticil on both sides. About one hundred miles above the Paria, at the entrance of a stream called the Dirty Devil, from its muddy ap pearance, wc cached our boats, in wl.ieh a land exploring party will come down in .the spring from a trip which will be made from S'me voleanic mono- tains lying about fif-y miles to the j north west of the Colorado at this j point. W artived at the Parii Oct. j 2d. We cached the boils, aud started lor this p! k:o with a pack train. Our supplies are stored here, and the party ire eaiiip..:d :nx utiles outh of the place. The work for the winter is the, establishing of la -e lines for the lati tude aud longitude, topographical and geograj hical mapping of the moun tains bordering on the! river, phoio-grij-hti.g scenery in the vicinity, and visiting various tribes of Indian, among which are the Pah Utes, Xava jin, and Azteo or Moqus, and othr, of all of whoso languages Major Powell is preparing vocabularies. Ife is aUo collecting horn them a large amount of very interesting curiosities. A visit to the seveu Aztec cities in Vrizoua will be made some time during the winter, and it is thought that many valuable iteais in regard to this nearly extinct race of p"'plo will bo added to history. Kaiab is one of tho pioneer t'f.vns of Utah. It issihnted near the lino of Arizona, about 80 miles nor'h- S cast of St. George, aud 70 miles north of the Colorado Kiver. During the troubles with the Nava jos, tho mormons had a fort built here, which has been occupied six or seven years. Agricultural pursuits, however, have never received any attention until two years ago. Now a fine town is laid out, and building is progressing rap idly. There are about forty families, all Mormons and true blue polyaamists. They have a telegraph, which has lately been connected with this p'acc. Urigham Young and suite passed through some four or five weeks ago. We had the honor of an interview, and were received very cordially. Looking upon us as a peaceable party, intent on scientific pursuits only, he has extend ed to us every encouragement. The inhabitants also have given us the hand of welcome, and where we expected to fpend a dreary winter, wc find the door of hospitality open, and friendly greet ings, reminding us that though far in the wilderness, we have not yet passed the pale of civilization." K. O. B. The Philadelphia North American says that the iron productions of the United States during 1871 amounted to 1850,000 ton's, and that it would have reached 2,000,000 ton's but for the disastrous miners' strikes in the i Pennsylvania anthracite regions. The result of that foolish movement has been to break up the old arrangements for the supply of anfhracite, causing thousands of acres of new coal lands to be brought into working. The proba bility is that the coal production will be larger during 1872 than formerly. Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm writes to the Woman1 s Journal that woman suf frage in Illinois is under a heavy cloud. Many formerly identified with it shrink aghast from doctrines proclaimed by some of his professed friends. They would prefer going back to the jjood old times when wives were corrected with a rod not more than an inch round, rather than forward iuto the proposed elysium of no legal marriage or free divcrcc. One Term Policy. Tho New York Herald thus dis courses upon tho 44 One Term Policy" and the charges against President Grant : General Grant has certainly been as satisfactory a President as Washing ton or Jefferson, or Jackson or Lincoln. The country proposes to houor him as these other statesmen were honored. The witches break out into a clamor of denunciation, and cry out their'tavern scandals, which nobody believes, and they do not believe themselves. One or two of the graver ones say further : ' We do not suggest General Grant for re-election, because wo are in favor of the principle of one term for Preceden tial candidates.' This is a principle, is xt't Let us grant that. Why, then, force this principle upon the country at a time wren i:s advocacy is an injustice to Grant? This principle did nut pre vent Mr. Greeley, Mr. Wilkes, Mr. Sumner, and in l.tet the w hole tribe of witches f.om supporting Mr. Lin coln. If this faith was strong in them, why did they consent to Mr. Lincoln's election ? If their devotion to the principle was of an clastic, temporary, accommodating nature, why advance it now? We think Mr. Conkling, a- the friend of the President, trade a mi-take-in considering tho 4 One Term Princi ple as in any way reileefing upon Grant. He -liould have si 1 : Let u havc the one-term doctrine prepared and di-eu-s-d at the proper time. It' it is wi-e we can adopt it, if n;;!, reject it. You bring it i'owud now, nut ns n jo inci o'e, bur bs an inM 'gne. You j know well that the co-torn ( the ( nun- j try has been to re eleet chef magi? traus wn are worthy. hy !nuol that Cit; in be I r oven to enable ou to vi-tt your resentment upon Gen, Grunt? If this is really a principle a deeply ehertsdsed conviction you are taking the co irsc tint wdl m -t, -ur- ly des troy it ; f r you bring it firwurdja an intiiu', a scheme, an expedient, n cant to deny Gruit In- due -honor, and you compel every one of hi- friend-, whether t' ey agree v. itii you or not, to oppos your prineiplo.' This in the ground upon which to discus the one term question. It docs not belong to the prex-rit canva-, and the proper course for General Grant's fri Mids to take is to consider ii an adjourned issue, and to iusi-t that by law and cus tom, by an example as .vieri ;d ns that of Wu-'iingtoti, th y have the right to re-cloct General Grant; that limy mean to try and do it. When shit is dot, they will take up this principle and consider it calmly and with thorough uess, and without the suspicion of making war upon the Presiden;." The Snow Itloekade. From the . San Francisco Chronicle of the 21st ult. we cull the following concerning the late blockade cn the overland railroad : " For twenty six days have the people of San Francisco been without mail facilities, and passengers have been delayed, owing to the blockade on the Union Pacific Railroad, and during the whole of that time it does not seem that the Company realized the emer gency, for at no time were adequate incisures taken to open the road. Pas sengers who have just arrived agree in saying that at no point were thero a sufficient number of men employed, and some never saw a snow plow upon the road, and others charge a lamentable deficiency in rolling stock, and a scar city of engines. It is freely stated that the detection was purposely allowed to continue, when the cause could have been removed, in order to affect some stock operations in which the New York and Boston owners are at vari ance. How that is we do not know, but this is certain, we have suffered, and aro likely to continue to suffer from the blockade, when wo have a right to expect on open road ; and whether it was by negligence or de sign, we have good reason to complain. At all events the Government should make some arrangements by which the mails could bo put through. It is said that this was not done, because it would be an admission that tho road was not passable. In the faco of such a deten tion, such a reason is only ridiculous. The Central Pacific Company deserve great credit for the manner in which they forwarded the delayed passengers aud mails when the opportunity was offered them. They spared neither trouble nor expense in their part of the work, and if the Union Pacific had shown one half the energy, the block ado would How have bfcn ended, instead of lasting, as it probably will, for some time longer. TarlJI on Salt. The Free Traders, in their warfare on our Tariff, demand that salt shall be put iu the free list, but object that tea and coffee shall be made tree! This inconsistency betrays them. It demon stratcs that free trade is a war of Brit ish capital and labor on American capi tal and labor, and that the reduction of our tarifl rates is not sought in the in terests of our own people, bo ia tbp interests of foreigners. Tho-British' do not produce tea and coffee, nor have they the monopoly of carrying and sup plying these commodities. If they had, their busy agents in the United States would have made the country ring with a howl against the wicked tariff, which taxes the poor man's tea and coffee Hut the British largely produce salt in the West Indies, iu Euglaud and in Canada, and they want the American market for it exclusively. So they oppose a reduction on tea and coffee, lest that might satisfy the popular feel ing again-t tariff taxation upon -ar.ieles of necessity entering into general con sumption, which they had to a certain extent kindled but they furiound Congress and imprcca'e feelingly the restrictions, which the tariff phtet-s ou tli poor man's con.-umptioa of cheap and pure lrti-h salt. Free salt is a clever eateh word, but thry must laugh' who m esth it ; I'or, ur luting that the repeal of the duty ou foreign salt wou'd chcat'cu it, whuh -urely it would not, can any skilled ririthuw tieian cipher out the saving it won M e fleet on a workwoman's on sumption of salt for a year? Two lifihs t the salt tow cun-umed in the. United St:its is forvigu. If he duty on it were rcpeah-d, the re.-tut would be th at within one year mainly Bsitih a:;d Canadian salt Would be sold in the Cni'ed States.

The service was conducJe J by two clergymen, friends of i he deceased, who, with their long prayers and extended remarks," con sumed nearly two hours, during which Mr. Barnes suffered untold agony of suspense and impatience. Hardly had the second minister pronounced his Amen," when Barnes, iu his well known squeaky voice, turning to the pcrson sitting nearest him taid : M Bid vou know Kid " " Yes, sir," said the man addressed, iu a low uoice. "Good fellow, wasn't he?" continu ed Barnes. k Vcs, sir" still in a suppressed tone. " And he was a mighty smart one, too," Kjueakcd Barnes. "Very, smart," continued the other, as the company present began to look in that direction. " Yes he was," piped Barnes, still louder, and with ona of his expressive expletives, 4 and if he had had the running of his funeral he'd have been under ground an hour and a half ago." A Plea for the Ludicrous The ludicrous has its place in the Universe; it is not a human invention, but one of the Divine ideas, illustrated in the practical jokes of the kittens and mon keys long before Aristophanes or Shakespeare. How curious it is that we always consider solemnity and the absence of all gayety, surprises and en counters of wtt ns essential to tho idea of the future life of those whom wo thus deprive of half their faculties and then call them "blessed P There arc not a few who, even in this life, seem to be preparing themselves for that smilelcss eternity to which they look forward, by banishing all gaiety frcm their hearts, and all joyousuess from their countenances. 1 meet puch an oue in the streets not unfrcqueutly, a persou of intelligence and education but who gives (and all ho passes) such a rayless and chilling, look of recog nition something as if he were one of Heaven's assessors, come dovvu to "doom" every acquaintance - he met that I have sometimes begun to sucezo ou the spot, and gone home with a vio Icut cold; dating from that instant.
