A Peril0us Journey by the Superin-
tender mt of the Caribou Mine.
Denver News

A PerilOus Journey by the Superin-
tendtnt of the Caribou Mine.
Denver News
Last week Mr.. Eben Smith, the ef-
licient superintendent of the Caribou
mine, started from Nederland for the
mine in q stout cutter, drawn by team
of spirited horses. Mr.. Smith had for
companion one of his most efficient as
sistants, an Englishman ofthe name of
Richard Crow. The morning was bois-
ferrous, heavy snow storm having set
in, accompanied by a fierce wind, but
the two parties were well acquainted
with the road, and rs the distance was
only four miles, they anticipated no
serious bic. AS they approached
Caribou, Il viewer, the storm increased
IN violence to such an extent that they
were not only almost benumbed and
blinded, but the horses themselves
evinced strong symptoms of giving out.
The travellers finally reached 81 point
some half nile distant from Caribou,
about 10 O'Clock in the morning. Here
however, the elements seem to have
thrown off all restraint, and the storm
was binding in its fury. Mr.. Crow was
team turn certain point the horses
sprang off the road, and in another in
slant the sleigh and It's occupants, horses
some fifteen or twenty feet below.
Mr.. Smith is an old Coloradon and
has had an extended experience in the
mountains. He knew that if anything
was to be done, it must be done quick
ly. At such IN altitude and in such q
storm with the thermometer many de-
grees below zero, no life could be long
sustained. BY desperate exertions the
sleigh and horses were finally forced
back upon the road. Here the team
was held while Mr.. Smith made three
separate trips for the lost baggage and
wraps which were also essential to a
further existence. On reaching the
sleigh, after his third trip, Mr. Smith
was 80 nearly exhausted that he fell
in upon the bottom and was scarcely
able to move. After other desperate
efforts, and when almost ready to yield
to despair, the main street of Caribou
was reached and assistance secured. 1t
was nearly full hour before Mr.. Grow
was sufficiently revived 10 be able to
speak, and Mr.. Smith also suffered
greatly from the result of the exertions
he was compelled to make. But Meth
er party has experienced any perma-
ment injury, and both feel that they
have special cause for thanksgiving ov-
er their narrow and hazardous escape
from terrible death. Mr.. Smith was
in Denver yesterday, but returns to
Mcfarland this morning. He reports
the new works and machinery of the
Caribou mine as about ready for opera
ton, and is confident of large and in
creased ore Weld,

The Carr yiDg Away of Obelisks.


America has the tender instincts of
youth and expresses them freely. She
never leaves any doubt as to her first
impressions. She hears that the sister
obelisk of our own Cleopatra will soon
be on its way there, and her feelings
are much those of whale at the FIRST
sight of s harpoon. The citizens of Rhode
Island, headed by the governor, are
quite thrown off their balance at the
threatened proximity of the uncanny
stranger, and the New York Times, in
an article which we reprint to-day, ex-
hausts the theory of monumental as
sociations. Did we not know that our
American friends are Overlooking us for
antiquities, as for everything else. we
might suppose their continent uncon.
taminated with relics, curioslties and
survivals. They have got the first
harvest of Cyprus. and have good dig
gings in Asia Minor. We are to under
stand, however, that they do not object
to a free traffic in movable properties,
the mere furniture and currency of the
world, so much as to fixtures, grand OBJ
lects still IN Sitn, and inseparably as
ISOLATED with a particular place and
time. Our American contemporary is
more witty than wise on this point, and
tries to strengthen its argument by a
perfectly unwarrantable charge of per-
sonal vanity and foolish love of notoriety
upon those who present their country
with these objects of worldwide interest.
We may feel that the finest series of
relics III the world has suffered certain
downfall in passing from the Parthenon
to the British Museum; but it is not
necessary to suppose that the Scottish
earl who accomplished it was actuated
by any other motive than the love of
art and of his country. Our latest ad-
dition on the Thames embankment was
due to the accidental concurrence of a
lover of antiquities and clever en-
glneer. There was no more vanity in
the matter than in search for the
north pole, or for the sources of the
Nile. However, when we have blown
away this and good deal more chat
from the lively efusion before us, there
remains some matter of serious con-
sideration. 1t has to be admitted that
the interest and value of many monu-
ments depend on their site; and that
unless very good reasons be shown to
the contrary, they had best remain
where they are. No doubt there has
been much wanton and mischievous
dissertation, by tearing up memorials
by the roots and planting them else
where, sometimes in ungenial soil.
There are cases of downright robbery
from the instinct of selfish appropria-
ton. 1t is not vanity, but something
worse, that prompts a man to chop off
4 finger, or nose, or an ornament, in
order that he may carry it home and
put it where it will never be seen. They
who are guilty of a petty larceny like
this would commit wholesale robbery
"a raid, if they had the opportunity.

Bird Il Costumes of Fernando P0.

AS with us, the Fernando Pc bride
is clad in white-Got the gauzy, flowing
robe, however, but a plastering of earthly
paste resembling plaster paris. She
wears bridal veil, too, composed Of
tiny white shells, strung together, and
which covers the face from forehead to
chin, while her painfully pomatumed
tresses are surmounted with an enor
NOUS hemlet made OF cowhide. The
Fernando Pc bridegroom is even more
deliberately decorated. 1t is a work
Of time as well as OF art 10 make the
young gentleman ready to take the
necessary vows before the two mothers
his own and his intended's-who act
the part of priests. Like his bride, he
is thickly plastered over with the white
tola paste, and he wears on his head an
enormous disk of fine bamboo plat
skewered to lis hair with long pins
with blue and red beads for heads. His
marriage raiment Is of strung shells,
and it being notorious that the instant
a Young man commences to make
himself ready for marriage malicious
evil spirits are in close attendance, and
on the alert TO balk his laudable intent,as
an antidote against their malevolence he
carries in his hand the whole time, and
never takes his eyes of, a piece Of a
yam shaped like heart, and in which
the red feather of parrot Is stuck.
The marriage ceremony is the essence
of simplicity The mother priests
place an arm of each round the neck OF
bride aud bridegroom, and deliver
short address to them ON their respec-
tive duties. after which the calabash OF
palm wine is produced, and the con-
tracing parties ratify the condition by
drinking the one to the other, after
which the oficiating mothers-ln IN Law
pledge eacn IN the remainder, and the
ceremony is at an end.

II is widely rumored that great
change in the gunnery system of Eng
land is impending. The select commit
tee, which has long been examining the
subject, is about to report, and, it is be-
lieved, will recommend the adoption o.
some breech-loading system which vii
practically render obsolete all the great
store of guns now on service or await
ing issue. The increasing thickness Of
armor for iron-clads necessitates an
economy in gun-deck room, which will
leave no room for loading at the muz.
zle. The present muzzle-loading guns
are likely to find their usefulness in
shore batteries, ETC., but for vessels their
days are apparently numbered.

Hottest SpOt on Earth.

One of the hottest regions on the earth
is along the Persian Gulf, where little
or no rain falls. At Bahrin the arid
shore has no fresh water, yet COM
paratively numerous population con
trive to live there, thanks to the copious
springs which break forth from the bot
tom the sea. The fresh water is got by
diving. The diver, sitting in his boat,
winds great goatskin bag around his
left arm, the hand grasping its mouth;
then takes in his right hand heavy
stone to which is attached a strong line,
and thus equipped he plunges in and
quickly reaches the bottom. Instantly
opening the bag over the strong jet OF
fresh water, he springs up the ascend
ing current, at the same time closing
the bag, and is helped aboard. The
stone is then hauled up. and the diver,
after taking breath, plunges again. The
source of the copious submarine springs
is thought to be in the green hills Of
Osman, some five or six hundred miles
distant.

ADAMS FALL.
What it Has Cost Husbands and Fathers
Ever SiHce,


Ever since.
Adam was the first man-ii he had
been a shoemaker he would have been
the last man.
He was placed in the Garden of Eden
and was himself the guardian of Eden.
He consequently had no partner to Or
der him up mornings, and he, therefore,
played it alone.
All the clothes he had for a long
time was the close of day, while man
tie of night was his bedclotnes.
He had dominion over the FISH of the
sea, the birds of the air, and he also
hoe minion over the earth.
He was finally furnished with wo-
man of A-rib1ia, who was sent to Eden
for Adams Express Company. She was
bone of his beauin' and if she had been
called Nancy she would have been his
bone Nancy.
She was pretty good cook for she
soon cooked up trouble for Adam, and
got him into hot water.
When Adam went down to the office
mornings Eve always went to her
household duties, but she was for
tunate woman in one respect. She had
no washings to do on Monday, so Adam
was never afflicted by being obliged to
eat mush and milk from the clock
shelf.
Eve never called him back and told
him 10 send home some soap or starch
at once, nor did it cost Adam five shill-
ings a week for clothes pins, for the
beautiful smile that Mr.. and Mrs. Adam
always wore could be licked clean with
the tip ends of their tongues.
But they were not a happy couple,
for the Fourth of July was unknown in
Eden.
They never listened to the bang of
the cannon, the gun or the firecracxer,
but Eve used to bang her hair quite
often.
