Elk Mountain (Wy.) Pilot.
This morning w. J. Emigh and Viii
liam Rumpf, who had been on the reser-
walton prospecting, brought into camp
a man who gave his name as Thomas
French, from Hannibal, Mo. They had
found him about fifteen miles from
here, in the vicinity of Coal and Ohio
creeks. Mr.. Rumpf had shot deer,
when some one called to him from the
bush. Looking in the direction where
he head the voice, he espied wild
looking man lying on the ground with
his head partially raised and resting on
his hand. Mr.. Rumpf pointed his gun
at the man, and demanded why he
called. He exclaimed: "For Gods
sake, don't shoot mel I'm almost dead
now." After Mr.. Rumpf got him up
and placed him upon a horse he told
the following story: About fifteen days
ago, in company with John Shafer,
from Cleveland, Ohio, he left Irwir, for
White River. After being few days
out they lost the trail, and wandered
about the mountains hunting way
out. One day, as they were thus war;
dering about, they were attacked by
mountain lions, and his partner Shafer
devoured before his eyes. BY running
away he escaped similar death. For
eight days he wandered about alone
and without food He said he believed
in visions, and had one the night previ-
GUS that he would be rescued by the
party who brought him in.
He presents a terrible sight, and at
times speaks as in delirium, although
his story was told in a straightforward
manner, without the least sign Of false
hood.

American Summers.

The terrors of an American summer
are continually mentioned in Europe,
and few foreigners have the hardihood
to brave them. They may be painted
worse than they are, but they are GER
tainly bad enough. This season prom
ises to be one of the most uncomforta-
BILE we have endured for years. The
heat began early in May and threatens
to continue far into September Each
summer, unless it be exceptionally
cool, seems as if it were more insup-
portable than any of its predecessors.
Naturally, too, for present anguish is
more vivid, more real, than any mem
ory of past anguish. The summer of
1876 was distressing, and likely to be
long remembered for its intensity and
duration. But it was not more odious
to the date than this summer has been
The mercury has not been so very
high the present year, but the average
heat has been high and the quality of
the air has been most obnoxious When
the thermometer marked BUTTS de-
grees and thereabout in May, the
weather was very oppressive, and the
atmosphere felt as if 80 or 95 degrees
might have been attained. There was
a painful absence of ozone, and there
is still. We tried to account for it
by the long dry spell. If we could
have a good rain, we said, the air
would be fresher and lighter, and we
longed for rain. Last Monday, the 5th,
we had six hours of driving, drench-
ing rain, and after that, even the
next morning, the atmosphere was
heavier and closer than ever. Tuesday,
the day following, we had fine thun-
der-storm, but TIE sultriness rather in
creased than diminished. Most of us
who are kept in town have made up
our minds that we shall not have much
meteoric relief before September at
earliest, and we are not likely to. be
agreeably diappointed. We do not
look for comfort OF GOODNESS; we are
steadily baking and broiling into sto-
ical philosophy. But we should re-
member that New York is, after all, q
very pleasant place to spend the sum-
mer. Whew! o yes! 1t is perfectly

And every mothers gosling fell

Writhe in the blistering rays;
The herbage in his shrinking jaws

Strange sights! strange sounds! O fearfu

Its memory haunts me still,
The stcaming sea, the crimson glare
That wreathed each wooded hill.

Such midnight visions sweep,
Spare, spare, 0 spare thine evening meal;
And sweet shall be thy sleep.

WESTINGHOUSE LAST ILLNESS.

The certificate of Drs. Craik and Dick
the physicians who attended George Wash
ington at the time of his DEATH has just been
unearthed from Georgetown newspaper of
1899. 1t does not appear in any of the biog-
raphies of Washington. The certificate
concludes thus He was fully impressed
at the beginning of his complaint, as well as
through every succeeding stage of it, that its
conclusion would be mortal submitting to
the several exertions made for his recovery
rather as duty than from any expectations
of their efficacy. He considered the opera
tons of death upon his system as coeval with
the disease, and several hours before his
decease, after several efforts to be under
stood, succeeded in expressing desire that
he might be permitted to die without inter
ruption. During the short period of his ILL
ness he economical time in the arrangement
of such few concerns as required his atten-
ton, with the utmost serenity, and antici-
pated his approaching dissolution with every
demonstration of that equanimity for which
his whole life has been SO uniformly and sin
gularly conspicuous"

The Growing Power Of China.

Sir Rutherford Alcock, who could boast
long familiarity with the nations of the ORR.
ent, speaks with some weight when he eau.
tions the people of England not to needless
ly provoke the Chinese by unfair dealing
He intimates that they have acquired 8
power which should not be despised. He
says: 1t might be thought that the enlight.
ened regard for their own interests, which
our merchants urge upon the Chinese as ar
unanswerable argument for increased facili.
ties of trade and navigation, should suggest
to them the value of mutual goodwill, az
the best means Of securing their object
But no thought of this kind appears to pre-.
vail, and although China is at present weak,
we are strong, and the day may not be so
far distant as orr merchants seem to believe,
when these conditions may materially
change. The same policy which within the
last twenty years has led to the creation of
extensive dockyards and arsenals, and the
building of fleet of fifteen ships, among
which are large iron steamers of over 1900
tons-all on the best European models, and
with the latest improvements in guns and
machinery-will, to all appearance, carry
them much further. The drilling and arm
ing of their troops with breech-loaders and
arms of precision has kept pace with these
advances in maritime equipments. Such
O country is not to be despised, and cannot
safely be regarded as too weak to offer any
effective resistance to Western States, or too
contemplate Power to claim treatment in
accordance with the law of nations. The
time is probably coming when the Chinese
Government may feel sufficiently strong to
assert their independence, and resist dicta-
ton or interference. They have done so
thrice before, and will undoubtedly do so
again if unwisely provoked. Only the next
time they will meet a Western Power in
arms. it will be to fight it with other weap-
Ons than the bow, spear, or matchbox, and
at less disadvantage than heretofore. With
iron-clad steamers, Krupp and Armstrong
guns, and some knowledge under good in
struction of military science and European
drill, they may make coercion a very costly
affair both at sea and land.
