I THE SHOSIIONU FALLS 1 -.The;, Shoshone ..Falls are, ; situated about seven miles from Desert station. on the stage road from Salt Lake City to Bo'se - City. 4 The river, for' many inues, botn 'ab.ve and relow, pisses through a Volcanic valley; It has cut a perpendicular canon through the layers of. lava to the depth of l.UOU feet. The canon is. generally about half a mile wide; v At 1 the point' vhere the falls are located ; it is nearly : mile wide.: Viewed from below it appears circular, like a vast amphitheatre, with the falls io the centre. The different layers of lava, resemble seats in" tiers ragedone, above another to a height of 700 feet above the head of the falls. In the narrowest; part the water is 200 or .300 yards widef, .Abopt ,400. yards, above ihe main falls are five islands, at nearly equnl intervals across the river, dividing the stream into six parts. .' As the water passes between the islands it,. is precipitated .25 or 30 feet. The. falls differ essentially from each' other 16 form, affording great variety. ; Be loW the islands 'the -water - unites and passes in an unbroken, sheet over. the great fall; the descent is a bout 200 feet The semicircle at the head "f the falls is apparently perfecti'and the leap as clear as that -of : Niagara." "Enormous clouds of mist and pray arise, varitgt- ted with rainbows. ,At the foot are rushing showers of spray,' from under which the " water r beaten ftto"' foam,- dashes furiously: away. Occasionally can be seen through - the flying mists the immense sheet of' water standing out in bold relief. from the rocks, show, ing that with proper appliances jt js practicable to go behind, as at Niagara. A fewhundred yard's further, down the, watet swings' slowly around ' in a huge whirlpool and then disappears in ihe black canon below.' " ' '' The delicate ' prismatic colors of the rainbow and the graceful evanescent fofmsLof the mist contrast strangely with the iron-black surface. 'hard ouv lines, and awful forms of. ihe over hanging, basalt. The1 sound of the rushing . waters resembles that' of an orchestra T the small ' falls giving the high notes and the great fall the bass, producing a combination not possible id obtain from a single cataract.

Fe,b. 4tb, 18S0..., , To-day, the Senate being in Committee of the Whole House, had, among other J bills, a bill to appropriate Gvs; hundred 1 dollars to the Lincoln Monument Assooi -ation . Mr. Majors moved to amend by striking "but -'Lincoln Monumental Asso-' ctatiod, ' and insert "Nebraska Soldier's Monumental Association." and in sup.., port of the amendment, spoke as follows.." Ms. Chaikmax: The financial condi-.

What I may say upon this question, I. hope may not be misunderstood for I do not desire to be understood u's opposed to the recognition of tho great, valuable, and almost superhuman efforts . of ; that sainted martyr and patriot, Abraham Lincoln, in his successfull efforts to' ts tain for the people of those United States and their posterity, that great and price less boon, American Liberty, and humaa equality1 upon which alone, true and ' just governments are established and, upon which ground atone, they caa stand.' Yet gentlemen, whilo this is . true of that sainted patriot, I cannot forget, th even from tne btate ot neDrASka.in lcbi, when the vo!cnic eruption of Soutbern injustice, so long repressed, burst upon us and tbrcatened to enjiult our Tree in stitutions forever, and fasten upon us in evitably the shackles cf ' slavery there arose from this then boundless plain, and almost uninhabited Territory, between two and three thousand patriots,1 to the call of their country. 1 , - - - . , les, Mr. Chairman, you will remem ber, in 1861,' when all was peace and quiet at the firesides of our peaoefal yeo manry, the sound "to arms," was beard. That mighty emblem of prosperity, equal ity and liberty, the stars and stripe", was unfurled; .and, as one man, "Nebraska arose ia her might, with' the proud and patriotic determination, that that rlori. oas ' emblem of peace and prosperity, which bad hitherto floated triumphantly, in the field and at the masthead, should still float undaunted and and untram eled over the land ef . the free, as it had hitherto, over the home of the brave. Mr- Chairman,' when I consider the disinterested patriotism, and self sacrifi cing efforts of those nnthought of t and secluded heroes, who left all that was bear and dear to them, and whon I 're. member with what bright hopes I have scon these men engage their enemies, only aspiring to be true to their country and "God, fall with the shout of libeTty upoa their lips, by the leaden messengers of death, directed by the hand of treason, 1 say when I remember these things, 1 cannot consent to cast my vote for any proposition which will in any. wise have the appearance 01 forgetfulness lor our own heroic dead. ... .,.!. : 1 If it were possible to draw aside th veil that now separate! us from that eter nal and glorious rest, prepared for the faithful.
