These ore both upon the same stream, which is one of the main branches of the Merced, and a stream of Iars;e volume. Access to the falls is not without difficulty, nor altogether without danger, owing to the rudeness of the- pathway which lies along the rocky chasm. One lady in our company, though notofourowu party, actually gave out and was left behind, while we pressed forward and were a thousand fold repaid for all our toil, and forgot all danger as we stood in the spray, of the Vernal Fall, 400 feet in height and without a break. The rainbow which covered it like a promise was as perfectand brilliant as the sun itself; in some directions the wind blowing the spray toward the spectator, it becomes a ci rcular bow, and sometimes a double circle.

Near the ujiper or Nevada Fall rises tho loftiest peak about the Valley, called the Cap of Liberty, from its close resemblance in shape to this ancient emblem of our nationality, and also known as Mt. Broileriek. It is a lolty rock of granite rising 4,GOO feet above the valley, smooth as a helmet, and yet quite accessible. The view from its sublimit of the whole region which it overtops is said to be magnificent, and I should have made tho expidition if I had had another day to devote to it. The ascent can be made with ease in a day, in connection with a visit to the Vernal and Nevada Falls, by taking an early start jn the morning and omitting for the day the visit to Mirror Lake, but no one who has not strong powers of endurance should undertake it. Anna Dickinson accomplished the feat shortly before our visit to the Valley, but she is something more than siuipl v strong-minded; and even she, in returning, was overtaken by nivht before she reached the ladders at the Falls, and made the rest of the return trip in the dark. Several excursions to the surrounding cliffs and clefts may be made by those who have time and strength, and a week or more may be spent very profitably in making tnem and in intervening rests. close you on every side, and which reach far up into the blue ether by day and toward the stars by night. So complete is the isolation, and so perfect this iuclosure, that many persons on getting into the Valley are seized with a kind of apprehension that they shall never be able to get out, as if they had, been let down from the clouds into some deep chasm far remote from human abodes. g II.

After the "service at the grave" a negro man took hold of the colli n to hand it down into the grave, but, to his astonishment, he could not move it. He called to his assistance another stout fellow, and the two tried but failed to budge the coffin. Two more cams to their help, and the tour had no morn power over it than they would over a mountain of granite. The coffin clung tight to ttie ground, as if glued. This astonishing state of ffairs called for an explanation, and it was determined to open the coffin and see what was inside of it. It was done, and behold the child was alive. Further examinations developed the fact that there was printed on the bottom of its feet these words : ' There has been no preacher in Heaven for eleven hundred years."
