A. H. BELO
IN PUTA CANYON.
Grand Sights Harely Viewed by California
Tourists,
San Francisco Chronicle.
Winters, Yolo County, May S.—Con-
sidering the wonderful beauty of the
scenery along Puta canyon it is indeed sur-
prising that so little is known of it to the
.outside world. The tourist and sightseer
'have only to step aside from the beaten
path to catch a glimpse of the picturesque
locality, and yet there are few
i visitors. About three miles west of
J "Winters the Berryessa road enters the
; canyon. At this point the scenery is
tame enough, but there is a wealth of rustic
I beauty in the landscape. The right bank,
' into tiie side of which the road is cut, rises
abruptly above a broad stream known as
Puta creek, which has its head near Mount
St. Helena and its mouth at the Sacramento
river. Beyond the clear running water and
its willow-fringed margin lies a stretch of
open valley land. Here one sees great
patches of red soil and long rows of peach
and apricot trees, thrifty grapevines
and rich wheat-fields, with grain
reaching nearly as high as the
top of the fence. A few miles far-
ther on. following up the crooks and turns
of the canyon as it grows narrower aud the
scene becomes wilder, one stands at length
on a rocky summit overlooking a long deep
lake, whose waters reflect the configurations
and colors of the steep banks. Masses of
sandstone, water-worn and gray, are heaped
up on all sides, and the glare of the sun
upon their rough sides dazzles the eyes.
Overhanging the roadway for a considera-
ble distance huge boulders, half embedded
in the earth and apparently just ready to
fall,lend an air of uncompromising severity
to the scene, and the traveler experiences a
sense of danger.
l Approaching the Giant's stairway, about
i eight miles from Winters, the canyon is
[ seen to be still more contracted in ividth.
j There is a sharp ascent in the road, a broad
turn and one comes in full view of a rugged
height, marked by such peculiar natural
[features and withal so majestic in outline
^ as to fix the eye in admiration. The Giant's
stairway is a series of irregularly terraced
rocks, rising from the bed of the canyon to
the height of about 1000 feet. There are six
" stairways " in all, and the brown sandstone
of which they are composed varies in thick-
I ness from one to eight feet. The sides of
| the terrace stand out boldly from the moun-
i tain side, protruding at least fifteen feet all
i the way down from the summit. Each line
Lof rock extends straight from summit to
lbase, and the stairways stand about fifty
ifeet apart. This wonderful formation is on
the south side of the canyon. The opposite
e>ank is much lower, and although peculiar-
ly marked, it presents no such attractive
features as that of the mountain on the
iouth, but at the same time it affords a con
Krast which enhances the scenic value of
|he Giant's stairway. To the cool brown
jif the rocks that reach skyward above
llie waters of the Puta, is added a rich
liess of color from the wild growth of
Jhrubbery covering the mountain side, aud
■he harshness of the outlines of the moun-
tain's face is softened bv the foliage.

f anitas and the thin, wiry foliage of the

rocks, where they are given a dark" back-
ground. The gray-green of the " digger

Ming chamisal near the mountain top, is a
bright patch of yellow in the picture,
tgainst which the sunlight lies with con-
siderable warmth. Rocks and pines, oaks

Fishing in Puta creek is attended with
very satisfactory results at this season,
when the pike and trout snap at the hook
with an avidity that is in striking contrast
with the langor with which they regard
the most carefully prepared bait during the
summer months of the year. Some very
handsome fish are taken by night, the fish-
ermen setting lines, to eitch of which are
fastened several large hooks, across the
" riliies." in the morning the lines are
hauled in, and he is a very unlucky fisher-
man who does not pull ashore half a dozeu
pike weighing from oue to six pounds
as the result of his " labor." By far
the most general style of fishing, how-
ever, is that in which giant-powder car-
tridges are employed. This unsportsman-
like* custom is in vogue at all seasons, al-
though not so extensively followed wheu
the fish bite readily. Wlieu a heavy charge
of powder is exploited in the water, all its
inhabitants, great and small, in the vicin-
ity, rloat belly upward on the surface. It
is ashamful abuse of inventive power to
employ it iu this manner, and the rigid
application of the law would have a most
salutary effect in preventing the impover-
ishing of our streams by this means.
In the vicinity of Devil's Gate, about seven
miles from Winters, a very fine quality of
sandstone has recently been discovered, aud
quarrying has been commenced on an exten-
sive scale. The Southern-Pacific company
has acquired title to the sandstone deposits
and to a large ranch near at hand, tje price
paid being $20,000. Surveys have lately
been made for a railroad to connect with the
Vaca Valley and Clear Lake railroad at this
town. The' road will be built up as far as
Devil's Gate, and will probably be extended
to Monticello, in eastern Napa county.
~ lyon is
with great difficulty, and the railroad will
pany will establish a resort for tourists,
health-seekers and sportsmen on the tract
of land recently purchased. It has a most
favorable site, and in time would no doubt
prove a paying speculation. The main
object in building the proposed road, how-
ever, is the opening of the quarries.

Lynched by a Drunken Mob.
Grand Forks, Dak., June 12.—It is
learned here that a few days since a lynch-
ing occurred near St. Andrews, five miles
north of here, on Red river. Ole Becknolt,
working for a farmer on the Minnesota
side, supplanted the latter in his wife's
affections. The farmer invited in his neigh-
bors, tapped a keg of alcohol, and after
they were sufficiently drunk, related his
wrongs, and suggested lynching as a
remedy. Becknolt was caught aud strung
up to a limb, the alleged intention being
only to frighten him, but when let down
life was extinct.

The Romance of a Maine Girl.
Lewiston Journal.
Wheu a young girl she fell in love with a
poor fellow, who returned her affections,
but didn't have money enough to pay the
parson for marrying them. It was decided
that he should start for China to seek his
fortune. She made a vow that she would
not marry for three years, and if, at the ex-
piration of that time, he had uot returned
she would be at perfect liberty to act at her
own pleasure about mat/imony. Six
months passed and the girl heard not a
word from her lover. A year went by, aud
■no letter. The girl grew almost distracted,
for she came to the conclusion that he had
either gone back on her or was dead. A
second year went by and nothing was heard
from him. At this time another gentleman
began paying hip attentions to the lady, aud
finally asked for her hand iu marriage. The
girl thought of her vow and said no, uot
until the three years are past. The" secoud
man urged her with all his power to marry
him. He offered her wealth and luxury,
but she was true to her vow, and said that
she would not marry till the expiration of
the three years. Long before this she had
supposed her lover dead.
The end of a third year was drawing to a
close, and she had promised the ardent
suitor for a year and a half that when the
time was up she would marry him on the
following day if? her former lover did not
return. The day came, and the man didn't
return from China. On that very day the
wedding bells were rung, and they were
united iu marriage. Hardly had the mar-
riage ceremony been performed when a
ship came into the bay from Chiua, and on
board was her lover, who had left her three
years ago to gain a fortune for them both-
returned. Imagine if you can her grief when
she saw him. He came back abundantly rich
to claim her as bis bride, and she had three
days before married another. The blow
nearly crushed them both. But six years
wore away, and, in the meantime the man
married and went out west to live. In a
few years his Wife died. He had not heard
one word from his old love for many years,
and one day, merely from curiosity, he
addressed a letter to her brother, inquiring
if she was alive, aud if so, where she re-
sided. He received a letter shortly after
that she mid been a widow for several years
and was living near Portland. The gentle-
man left for Portland on the next traiu,
and in less than a week's time they were
married, and to-day they are living happily
together in the suburbs of Portland.
Berlin's Hair-dressing Exhibition.
Not to be behind other capitals, Berlin,
too, has at present an exhibition—of the
art of hair-dressing. Not only are the
finished products shown of the art of the
perruquier and coiffeur, but the exhibition
of the raw materials on which his skill is
exercised is most remarkable and complete.
The great mass of the hair used, it appears,
comes either from China or Japan. This is
plentiful and cheap, costing some
$12 a pound for tresses upwards
of a yard in length. It is, how-
ever, hard and coarse, the Japanese
supply even more so than the Chinese.
Better qualities come chiefly from Italy,
and in Germany itself, from the country
districts of Thuringia and*the Black Forest.
The highest price in the market—as much
as $100 per pound—is obtained for blonde
hair, which is imported almost entirely
from Norway and Sweden. White hair is
not a natural product at all, but has been
subjected to an artificial bleaching process.
Large quantities of buffalo hair and Ango-
ra goats' wool are also sh*wn. From the
former material there are manufactured
those wigs which are intended for powder:
from thelatter, clowns' wigs and theatrical
beards.

Trees as House Plants.
A very pretty ornament for the house or
lawn is a dwarfed white oak, some enthu-
siasts making veritable pets of these mini-
ature lords of the forests. These plants
are readily raised in llower-pots from the
acorns, and require no attention except
watering. The dwarfing of the tree is ef-
fected by cutting off the tap-root every
spring for a few years, this process keep-
ing the tree of diminutive size while it does
not prevent the ordinary development of
new branches.
A year ago one of a pair of canaries
owned by a young woman of Waynssboro,
Ga., died, and its mate, an excellent singer,
refused to whistle a note. It maintained
an unbroken silence for twelve months, ana
then the other day began singing, and now
is a really rejharkuble songster.
Of John Kelly, the Tammany Sachem.
New York Sun.
At the outbreak of the war Governor E.
D. Morgan invited several prominent citi-
zens of New York to his house in this city
to confer with him as to the best means of
sustaining the federal government- John
Kelly was among those invited. He was!
the first man in the house. The governor
received him in the parlor. Mr. Kelly took
a seat and gazed around the room. " You
have a fine house here, governor," he re-
marked. •• Yes, it is a fine house," the gov-
ernor replied. " While we are waiting 1'lt
show you over the rooms and see what you
think of it." " No, governor, it isn't neoes-
sary," Mr. Kelly said. "X know the house
thoroughly. X set all the grates in it my-
self." _
