u THE TRUE GLORY OP A "NATION It is not in the magnificence of its temples; not in the beautiful creations of art lavished upon its pub lic edifices, not in costly libraries and galcries of pic tures; not in the number and wealth of its cities that we find a nation's glory. A ruler may gather around him the pomp of the world amid a brutalized people; the senate chamber may retain its faultless propor tions long after the voice of patriotism is hushed within its walls; the monumental marble may com-' memorate a glory that has forever departed; art and letters may bring no lesson to a people whose heart is dead. The vine clad cottage by the hill side, the cabin of the woodsman, and the rural home of the farmer are the true citadels of any country. The pleasant piping of the herdsmen, the merry ring of the anvil and the songs of the harvest home are sweeter music than the peans of departed glory or the songs of tri umph in war. Would you see the emblems of true national glory I would show you villages where the drown and glo ry of the people is in their common schools, where the voice of prayer goes heavenward, where the peo ple have that most priceless gift, faith in God E. P. Whipple. THE O.I IB WAYS On the calm day of summer the Ojibway fisher man pushes his bark canoe out on the inland ocean of pelucid depths seems like one balanced between the north, (Lake Superior) and as he gazes into ts earth and sky. Again he explores the watery laby-' rinths where the stream sweeps between pine tufted islands or rolls dark and deep beneath the shadows of moss bearded pines. The little islands on the verge of the horison seem merging into spires, now disapearing from sight and he fancies that the evil spirits of the lake lie basking their serpent forms on those unhallowed shores. Or he drags his canoe upon the pebbly beach and while the camp lire crackles on the grass plat, re clines beneath the trees while he smokes and laughs away the sultry hours in a lazy luxury of enjoyment. But when winter descends upon his heels, fetter ing up the streams, sealing the fountains and turn ing the green robed forests into shivering nakedness, then bearing their frail dwellings upon their backs, the Ojibway family wanders forth in the wilderness cheered only on their desolate track by the whistling of the north winds and the hungry howling of the wolves.' By the banks of some frozen stream, women and children, men anil dogs lie crouched together around the lire while the wind whistles through the fir trees like a gale through the rigging of a frigate and the narrow concave of their wigwam sparkles with the frost work of their congealed breath. In vain they beat the magic drum and call upon their guardian Manitou. The wary moose keeps aloof, the bear lies close within his hollow tree, star vation stares them in the face. And now the hunter can seek no more. Stiff and stark with sunken cheek and shriveled lip he lies be neath the snow drift until with teeth and claw the famished wild cat strives in vain to pierce the frigid marble of his limbs. Such harsh schooling as this was thrown away on the incorrigible mind of the northern Algonquin. Always in the reason of plenty he forgot the time of need and ever the sleet and the snows descended on his houseless head. Francis Parkman.

Sailor, Pohtican, Miner and Adventurer. Trip Across the Continent 1848 (Continued from last week) At this time much excitement exist ed in relation to the Trinity river from the report of Greek's party, who had I but .1 short time previously told of im mci. ic deposits of gold on that river It was Kcnerally believed that the Trinity discharged itself immediate ly into the Pacific. Tichcnor enter lained the same idea, drawn from chart given him on his southern voy ae;e by the captain of a Spanish brie;. He therefore placed his vessel in the hands of A. J. Cort, afterward Naval Agent of the U. S. at San Francisco as his agent, the vessel being put on a voyage for the Trinity river for pas sengers 85 presenting themselves two days. The boat sailed about 20th of March 1850, and had free winds favorable to the examination of thu coast to Cape Mendocino, when the wind in creased to a gale forcing the vessel to keep clear of the laud. The gale sub siding thu vessel found herself thirty miles west of Cape lila;ico. Early on the morning of the 25th or 27th, Capt. Tichcnor lowered away his whale boat, watered and provision ed, with a full crew, and pulled for thu Cape, leaving orders for thu mate to stand along the coast soutli one degree and then heave J,o for him. The Cap lain reaching the Cape, pulled and sail ed with the wliulu boat along thu shore examining carefully all indentations, bays, creeks and rivers. Kuteriug tho loailstead now called Port Orford, he wished to laud and examine tho place but apprehending difficulty with the numerous naked savages, und their hostile appearance prevented him, as liu was not prepared for a fight, nor did hu wish one. Continuing down the coast on the second day he made Point St. George, and entered thu lit tle bight now called Crescent City, or vhore that placu is located. Here was lying at anchor thu Ilrig Camuo, with tliu old California pioneer It. ltisley and family, and on the eastern side of ihc little bay tho wrecked schooner Paragon" which had gone ashore in Clio blow above alluded encountcied oil' Mendocino. Keinaining but a short nine. Tichcnor stood to sea in search of his vessel and joined her late in thu ifternoon, immediately making all sail and standing for thu harbor he nad just left which he entered about lurk, being towed in by his three boats turough the rocks some sunken dome rearing their sharp and threat ening points high in the air. Kive miles south of this point, the lay picvious, a boat, from the brig Arab commanded by Lieut, Blunt, U tf., undertaking to land had capsiz ed with ten men in her, five of whom were drowned, among tho latter being Lieut. Ill-owning, Lieut, llache, and a gentleman by the name of Peoples. A man by the name of Conner was of the party and gave Captain Tichcnor the rings worn upon their fingers, and by iiim forwarded 16 their frieds. The Kyerson took tho survivors of i ho unfortunate boat together with tho crew of the wrecked Paragon standing iown along the coast, passing Trinidad ilead in tho' night. I'he Spanish chart to which allusion lias boon made, recognized tho entire ndentation from Point Trinidad to Cape Mendocino as Trinidad Hay, therefore giving grounds for tho be lief that Trinity river must dischar) tself into this bay. Capt. Tichcnor firmly believrd that the river now cal led Kel river was the original Trinity river of the early Spanish navigators binding a large volume of muddy water discharging itself into this bay, ie came to anchor abreast, and deter mined to closely inspect tho river. For two days he observed tho action of thu current and examined the shore lino with his boat, and on thu third morn ing lie entered it without a boat, bring ing his vessel in the following day. 1 his was on the .'Ird day of April, 1S5'J title lying ut anchor off tho mouth of tho river, the U. S. schooner Kwing llien on her voyage of recognizonio of the coast, came to unclior not far dis tant from tho Ityerson. They commun- Mlug with each other. Capt.

This was the first and only settlement of the bay at this time. Tho Kyerson after entering Eel riv er, made fast on the north side of the entrance and the following day sailed up a slough coming in from the soutli having good wattr for tht draft of the vessel drawing eleven feet, lemained on this slough i,ut two daj i and (lis charged her oa.ngera who hail the day before entered the river, signed a full discharge to the Kyerson, us having delivered the passengers at their destined Trinity river. All were therefore thrown upon their own re sources from the moment of the ves- sesls entrance into the river and fully exonerated from further responsibili ty. Capt. l'iclienor took six voluteurs together witli one boat crew and com menced the ascent of the river, leav ing his vessel in charge of his mate, the vessel lying a short distance up tlu main river, the party ascended a few miles and below thu first fork of thu river constructed a small block house for the protection of thu boat rew, who were left thore. They encountered no Indians until thu second day, wehn their troubles i ml dangers conununced. Strict guard had to bu kept through the mgnl and day, and at no time were more than their own number of Indians per mitted to approach the camp, livery indication plainly bhowed that hosti lities must commence soon, and being thoroughly convinced that such was the fact, tile party ascended the high and lofty peaks on the north side of the river into the deep snow. All were satisfied from thu 1'onnaiion and gene 1 M . I rai appearance oi tnu country, as well as by prospecting, that there was no gold on the waters of Kel river, and directed their steps to their vessel The Indians were numerous and show ed great hostility, and only by the utmost viliance did the party escape Keeping upon the crest of the high rid go und descending gradually over i vast grazing country, destitute of timber, save a few scatturing oaks until they entered the magnificent forests of Ked Wood ranging along the river. Keuching their block house thoy found the boat crew sufo and well They embarked for thu vessel, reach ing her the 20th of June, their en trance into the river being April 2,'lrd On the morning of the 2-lth the Kyerson got under way and cleared the liar without accident and the samu evening entered Humboldt liar. At the Block house on Kel river, thu Sonoma party, accompanied by some of tho Cregg party, who had reached the coast at Point Trinidad, went via Humboldt, IJol river and Clear Iike to their homes in Sonoma county, California. Among their numbers were the Graham brothers, Iilias and Aithur, Capt. Stnnbury, and Capt Smith, who were the avengers of the brave pioneer, Andy Kelsey, (killed by tho Clear Iiku Indians,) all of whom were taken prisoners by the order of Commander Stockton, com mandlng the station of the Pacific, und confined on board thu United States Sloop of War, Savanna. They were held prisoners for some lenghl of time, examined, discharged, justified in this. They were fine specimens of Western manhood brave and generous to a fault. This party agreed with Capt. Tichcnor to share equally all advantages derived from their settle ment upon Humboldt Pay, in consider ation of his having a vessel which would enable them to get supplies not otherwise obtainable. Upon the ar rival in thu bay of the Kyerson, claims mostly located at the head of the Pay embracing the most valuable agricul tural and timber hinds. A number of lainin hud also been secured at the middle and eastern side embracing the City of liureka, a name given it by one John Ilarwood, a mate on the Kyerson, also the point suhxequcntly occupied by the Government as mili tary post. The Kyerson sailed im mediatoly for Sun Francisco, return ing in Juno and upon her second voy- ige was sold in the last named place and havo ends the servicoH of the Ity- (inuiu iik an explorer; a vowel uudiMir- ud to her captain by the ninny dung- ui and thrilling event nnrouiilid in her.
