Rescued from the Grave.


cit sounds like a good deal to say,
but L once knew a man who died
and was buried on the overland trail
to California, and afterward made
his appearance. in the Placer mines
at Prickly Pear City-and it wasn't
his ghost either, but himself in the
flesh" This was the reply which
well known resident of Helena,
Montana, made to reporter.
I'm the spring of 49," continued
the citizen, "when the California
gold excitement was at its height, in
company with large party L cross
ed the plains. A utter getting well
under way the cholera broke out
among us and several died. Among
other deaths was that of a man
named w. III. Clark, of Henry cOun-
ty, Missouri. We buried him near
the point where the old Santa Fe
trail crossed the Arkansas river.
We had no coffin, but wrapped him
in his blankets, aud inclosing him in
covering of bark stripped from the
cottonwood trees, we planted him
about seven feet deep in the sand,
and piled logs on the grave to keep
the wolves from digging him up.
The next morning we moved on.
81 remained in California until
1865, and was then attracted to
Montana by the gold excitement. In
1868 while in the diggings at what is
known as Montana City, L was star
tied at meeting Clark, whom, with
my own eyes, l had seen buried on
the Arkansas river nineteen years
before. The recognition was mutu-
al, and on my expressing my surprise
he related to me that after our party
had buried him and proceeded on
toward California, a party of Indians
came along, and seeing his new
made grave, dug him up for the sake
of his blankets and clothing. AS he
showed signs of life they applied
restoratives, and the result was that
he was brought back to life and
health. He lived among the Indians
for years, and afterward came to
Montana. At the time met him he
was working for Jerry EmbrY.
There is absolutely no doubt as to
Clark's identity, and he is now living
at Prescott, AraZona, | believe"

The Despised Cactus.
iEnralya NAV Cauffnal1


a friend left bunch of budding
cactus flowers at the Sentinel office
on Thursday. We placed them in
water and yesterday they began to
bloom, throwing out a large and
brilliant yellow flower. They would
be an ornament to any garden, and
are quite abundant in the ravines in
the neighboring hills, where they
flourish almost without moisture
They are easily transplanted, and
with little attention would form
an attractive feature among other
shrubs. We have a cactus received
from Arizona nearly three years
ago that is in the shape of a large
pine-cone or pineapple. 1t came by
express, and the few roots with
which it was endowed seemed as dry
as sticks when it arrived. Being
placed in a pot il soon began to
throw out large pink flowers, and
has been blooming ever since by fits
and starts. At this writing it is
again in bloom. The flowers are
about six inches in diameter and
some two and one-half inches deep.
The plant itself looks like big con-
ical chestnut burr, and shows no
sign of life until it throws out its
buds aud bursts into flowers.

Dec ay OF story Papers.

Weekly literary journals are slowl!
dying out. Ten to fifteen years ago they
had circulations of 100, 900 to 800, 600 for
the most popular. At present they have
not half, and some not quarter of that
distribution. The cause of their decay
began with the issue of novels complete
in pamphlet form, sold at five, ten and
twenty cents. They were taken
mainly for their continued stories but
a story strung over half year when he
can buy it complete for fifteen cents.
Then the native tale writers have petered
out, and we have no more Sylvanus
Cobbs flor which many, very many
thanks). Again, the tendency for mod
ern reading is toward news, facts, and,
to some extent, toward scientific essays.

he calls his mustache. Few people no.

at the Raymond house, where he regis

paid his bill at the latter place yesterday
morning after breakfast, and was in the
back room of the saloon where
