Above these eome say 700 feet of bedded sandstones and lime- stones broken into thin strata. Far- ther up may be seen 1,000 feet of lime- stone, in some places a beautiful mar- ble ; this is often a brilliant red. Above these lie 800 feet of grey and bright red sandstones in alternate lay- ers like ribbons. Above again, is the Aubrey Limestones, 1,000 feet thick, with much of gypsum, beds of alabas- ter, agates and carnelians, Thie is called the "tower" formation. When the sunlight and shades fall upon these walls, slants and towers, our readers will readily see how beautiful must be the colors seen, You stand gazing down upon the scene of beauty, when perhaps, the fleecy clouds lower into the canyon, and hide from you for a while its re- splendent colors and shades, its fis- sures, towers, temples, pinnacles, tur- rets and yawning abysses. Then again the clouds disperse, the sun shines out, and the panorama of beau- ty is seen again. But to really see the Grand Canyon, you must get astride a faithful burro, trust yourself to its sure-footedness, throw the reins loose over its peck, let•the animal have its own way, and following the leading burro, which hears no burden, it will bring yon safe- ly to the foot. But when you have explored its depths, and look up, you are tolerably sure to wonder if it is possible to reach the rim once more in safety. Have we described the Grand Canyon ? No, simply because it is in- describable. We have only given our readers a faint glimpse. Here is one of the Santa Fe railroad hotels call- ed El Toyer, 327 feet long, 218 feet wide. It cost over a quarter of mil- lion dollars The pure water used for drinking purposes, is brought from Flagstaff, about 00 miles distant, on the main line. But we hasten on.` After leaving Williams station, we begin another ascent, and after passing through an- other tunnel, we pass the "Bottomless Pit," a deep fissure in the rock, where it is said, that thirty missionaries were killed, and their bodies thrown into the pit. We are nearing the borders of California, and cross its boundary, the Colorado river, near a place called Needles, so named from two mountain pinnacles. Though now in California, we still traverse the desert. Here the soil is doubtless good, but water is wanting. The mountains are with us still, but we are threading our way through the valleys. In a few hours, the scene changes ; we are now where irriga- tion is possible, and the results are ap- parent. Fields of alfalfa, orchards of orange trees, walnut groves, the aca- cia tree, and the many varieties of palm. We seem to be in a new world —one of beauty—of strange forms of vegetation. It is a pleasing change from desert wastes. In a few hours, we pass Riverside, and other orange centres, and then a little later Los Angeles is announced. A few minutes ride then lands us at Pasadena, our journey's end, where our second son, a prominent business man of the city, greets us upon the platform. In an auto carriage, we are taken to his beautiful residence, where we enjoy the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs, J. Herbert Hall, while we take in Cali- fornia scenes, breathe the fragrance of its flowers, and enjoy its balmy sun- shine. We close for the present, but let not our readers imagine that we are through. Not at all ; they shall hear from us again. In the meantime, we rest in a beautiful, an ideal city, with Mt. Lowe five miles distant, and orange trees laden with their fruit visible from our sanctum window. Gleaned Ou A Transcontinental Trip, By The Editor. Lirrri,tt No, 3. In our letter No, 2 we brought our readers as far as the petrified forests of Arizona, near Holbrook and Ada - mama. Just beyond these paints, the conductor calls our attention to the Canyon DIablo, or Devil's Canyon. We cross it on a fine bridge 000 feet long and 225 feet above the yawning chasm, which might be termed a ter- rific gash in the desert plain. Soon we reach Winslow, where we dine in ono of the many noted and excellent dining rooms of the Santa Fe. These are at certain distances, and are all under the one management. The next stop is at Flagstaff, where the snow- capped San Francisco Peaks are visi- ble, 14,000 feet high, Near here also are the prehistoric cliff dwellings, the caves, the lava beds, Montezuma wells and castle. The next stop is at Wil- liams, where a branch line of the San- ta Fe runs to the Grand Canyon of Arizona, sixty miles distant. At this point there is one of the finest station hotels (both together) along the line, It is called Fray Marcos, and is about (or over) 300 feet long by 200 wide with broad pillared porch and Santa Pe library. The town docs not amount to anything, and this magni- ficent and well-conducted hotel, is a most desirable place for travellers on their way to the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon of Arizona ! What shall we say on this, the most wonderful sight on the North Ameri- can continent, if not in the world. The writer fully described itonce, and feels like passing it now, lest he re- peats what was then said. But some of our present readers may wish to hear of this wonder, hence we venture on a second reference to the great canyon, that has been the admired wonder of every one, who has visited it ; at the carne Cline we will endeavor to avoid repetition. It takes three hours for the train to cover the sixty- four miles from Williams to the Grand Canyon, on account of the grade. The tourist is landed not far from the 'brink of the chasm, and he hastens to its rim, in order to got a look at America's greatest scenic wonder. It is so awful in its natural grandeur, so deep, so vast, so impenetrable (except at two points) so wonderful in its for- mations, in its tints and shadows, that an adequate description of it is im- possible. Language fails ; the Can- yon must be seen, for any description necessarily falls short of unfolding it ; nevertheless we attempt, knowing that we must fail to do it justice. Imagine yourself standing on a vast plateau or table -land hundreds of miles in extent, and seven thousand feet above the level of the sea. Then picture to yourself a tremendous gash or chasm in this vast elevated plain— t a gash 200 miles long and between twenty and twenty-five miles across. We said 200 miles long, but that is the air line ; to follow the rim, it would f be nearer 2000 miles. The depth of this vast chasm is said to be 6,000 feet, t but by way of the trail it is five miles to the river that flows at the'foot of its cliffs. The river is the Colorado, = here a rapid, turbulent stream ; this river is formed in the State of Utah, by the, union of two other streams. Only at two points in its 2000 miles course is this river crossed by bridges, viz., at Needles and at Yuma. In miles and miles of its course, the river hides itself far ffiom the abode of white men and busy marts of cotn- merce, and finally empties into the Gulf of California. The first sight of this stupendous gash in this vast tableland strikes the beholder with awe, Silence seems natural in the presence of what appear to be hun- dreds of temples, and when words are spoken they are frequently in low and reverent tones, We can scarcely de- scribe escribe our feelings at our first glimpse. One seemed to be in the presence of Deity, when gazing on so magnificent a scene, so vast, so impressive in its natural grandeur, and a feeling akin to worship seemed to come over us. Stand with us dear reader upon the rim, After the eyes have taken a general view of the seventy miles in view, look at the architecture of nat- ure in its detail. Before you are tem- ples, spires and, columns that speak silently, but imbressively of Nature's Architect. What a panorama of nat- ural grandeur; if you move to some fresh point upon the rim, you behold fresh forms and new temples, The guide points out that of Solomon, Agassiz, Vishnu, Buddha, Brahma and a score of others, and you have difficulty in persuading yourself that these vast formations seen at a few miles distance are not real temples', with pillars, spires, corrugated roofs and ornaments. You are gazing upon a labyrinth of architectural designs of endless variety, With festoons and lace-like webs of rock, of every shade of color, These temples have no wor- shippers within their 'evens for they are solid rock; the worehippers sthnd at a respectful distance, far up on the edge of the chasm. At one point of view you can count 25 temples, no two alike, and each of them 4,000 feet high, yet none of them reach to the Op of the chasm, You are looking flown and across a valley full of them, The vet'iety of color is one of the beauties of this canyon,. The colors, we understand are caused by the light h different rocks in the falling upon 'ant o Walls, and slants, Down at the bot. tom,tie black gneiss, a slates, etc,, aro crossed by granites; these aro about 800 fent in thickness.

Karl Herman Utletch and his pal tramped the road for years and about eight years ago served sentence in the Walkerton jail. They recently fell out and now Utletch has address- ed a most sensational letter from New Hamburg to Mayor Lippert, disclos- ing the name of the pal and asking authorities here to keep a sharp watchout for him as he is making his way towards Walkerton. The let- ter states that pal is an old Kincardine boy and purports to cast dark insinu- ations on hint in connection with the murder of a 16 year old girl in Hamil- ton. Mayor Lippert forwarded the letter to chief of police at Hamilton, but the latter was unable to fathom it and suggests that the writer must be crazy, COUGHS & COLDS LEAD TO CONSUMPTION Colds are the most dangerous of all forms of dismiss.
