IN THE LOWER LEVELS.

After lecturing at San Francisco on
the non-existence of He'll, Bob Inger-
soil was advised by reporter to try
the Ophlr mine in. Virginia City, and
get new views on the subject. He was
quite willing, saying, "Bring it on
am not afraid of your lowest levels
here or hereafter They dropped
him down the 1,475 foot level. "Call
this hot - said Col. Bob, perspiring
at every pore, "show me something
warm, can't you? I'll freeze here"
"Well," said the foreman, "we amt
got no hot drifts here now, but come
this way and I'll give you something
little warmer than this They all
branched off, and the air changed in
stantly as they turned north. 1t was
warmer; it kept getting warmer as
they proceeded. 1t got hot. "It's
cool along here" said the foreman,
but it is little warmer in the face of
the drift" Ingersoll was putting but
still seemed cheerful. "Come on,
girls, this don't amount to much.
Talk about your hot mines don't see
where they come in." Ingersoll
plodded on until they met miner
with his head down, rushing out of
the drift. ":Where did you come
from, my man7" asked Ingersoll as
the man passed him. "Come from
the face of the drift, - replied the
miner" 1ngersoll yelled: "And
where are you going? p "Going to
hell, to cool off, replied the miner,
1ngersoll halted and said to the fore
man: "Perhaps we had better not
60 any farther, l see the girls are not
following" As he came back and
met his wife he whispered huskily:
eva, if thought there really was
place hotter than this we'd 90 up and
join a Methodist church this very
night" Then they went down on
the incline three hundred feet farther,
in the "giraf," where the foreman
told Ingersoll he had curious natural
phenomenon he wanted to show him.
Ingersoll followed him down an
abandoned drift where the air was SO
hot that the oldest miner would not
work unless fresh air pipe was first
introduced. When he came back he
was shlrtless, drenched with perspira-
ton, and scarcely able to walk. They
were afraid he would faint. "Well,
my friend" gasped the Colonel to
the foreman, I" if you get us to the
surface uncooked, | will write YOU
an obituary that would make an angel
turn green with envy when l get to
Chicago"

The LAUGH OF A CH1LD.-Bob In
gersoll says: "The laugh Of q child
will make the hottest day more sa-
cred still. Strike with hand of fire,
oh, weird musician, thy harp strung
with Apollo's golden hair; fill the
vast cathedral aisles with sympho-
MES sweet and dim, deft TOUGHER of
the organ keys; blow, bugler, blow,
until thy silver notes do touch and
kiss the moonlit waves and charm
the lovers wandering mid yine.clad
hills. But know your sweetest
strains are discords all, compared
with childhood's happy laugh-the
laugh that fills the eyes with light
and every heart with joy. Oh, rip
ping river of laughter, thou art the
blessed boundary line between the
beasts and men, and every hayward
wave of thine doth drown some fret
full fend of care. Oh, laughter,
rose-lipped daughter of joy, there
are dimples enough in thy cheeks to
catch and hold and glorify the tears
of grief" While Bob's descriptive
powers are certainly very fine, he
has failed to cover all the ground in
this instance, for the happiest laugh
of childhood is produced when the
young hopeful of the family is in.

returned from F0rs Baasinger. on the ks
simnes river, s6Iae 30 miles, Il
sonth sf the he'd kstsrs Of Eaka o b
ekaliga, in the southern portion Of Orange
county. He was nearly thirty days max
ing the round trip from TohopekaIiga. He
Representa- the trip a. interssting, BIZ slow
aud tedious. The entire region is one
continued swamp near the river. Far
back from the river the tall pines can be
seen. In places his boat would hardly
move at sll, owing to the distractions of
vegetation. The purpose of the captains
trip was 70 barter goods to the settlers
and remnant Of the Seminole tribe of
Indians. He loaded his boat with goods,
consisting of general merchandise aud
provisions. He would stop at various
points aad exchange his goods for the
products Sf the country He soll bacon
for ls cents per pound, family flour at
$I4 per barrel, grits at es per barrel, and
homespun goods at Is cents eryard, aud
so on. He started with 81 900 worth of
goods and sold them all out. Notice was
sent ahead on what days he would be at
certain points, and people woaldOome for
twenty and thirty milessto trade with
him. 1t was their only opportunity for
laying in supplies. About oRe-half OF his
cargo was exchanged for cash, the balance
for peltries, alligator hides, tAIlow, bees
wax, etc. The inhabitants down there
are mainly engaged in raising cattle. The
cash he received was all Spanish silver
coin. Greenbacks were very scarce, the
cattle men keeping all that kind of money
to pay their taxes with The Indians
would not barter. They sold their own
products for cash, and bought for cash
The captain met Tallahassee, the success
sor of Chipco, the late chief He describes
him as & mall man, but very honorable
in his dealings. Indeed, he says all the
Indians, some thirty in number, were
strictly honest and upright. They would
move abo ut among the goods, touching
nothing. The captain counted the num-
Der of stringsof beads on one of the dnsky
bellies which she wore about her neck u
"A strings in all, weighing II pounds.
This was one of the common squaws The
aristocratic girls wore still greater num-
Der. The beads were of glass, usually of
a diamond shape. These frisky young
damsels we're clamorous for more beads
When Chipco died five of his best horses
were killed and buried with him. The
captain further says that the people whom
he met were healthy and prosperous.
One man was paying $50 per month to a
teacher to instruct his children. The
white people were intelligent in business,
fair in their dealings, orderly and hokpi-
table. The whites are nearly all Baptists,
and have an excellent church and society
near the fort. The captain said when he
was there church services were held OH
both Saturday and Sunday. But few
orange groves were met with. Coed
hammock land was quite common. But
the country was stupendOns. His boat
was often stuck in the tall grass in the
channel. The captain is looking well,
and may return once more to Fort Bas-
singer, but don't want to go ifhe can gel
anything else to do PaIdtkd Herald.
