The Mountain Fever.

The memory Of the bracing mountain
air fingers long in the nostrils Of all who
have ever known 1t. They wander
away, seek balmier climes and lower al
titudes, but the homesickness brings
them back sooner or later. An old
timer who formerly resided ct Eureka,
Nevada; but who for the last two years
has been living in the vicinity of Los
Angeles, California, has returned to his
first love. He left Eureka with suffl-
cient means to purchase . place and take
things easily among the orange groves
and semi-tropical scenery Of the garden
spot Of the golden State. where he ex-
pected to spe nd the balance Of his days
in ease and comfort literally beneath
his own vine and fig tree. After trying
for two years to adapt himself to that
kind Of life, the spirit Of discomfort
manifested itself 90 strongly that It
forced him from his luxurious home, and
NE IL on his way to Butte City, Montana,
whe,e he will find the excitement tor
which he is 80 eager to exchange the
ease and elegancies Of civilization in
one Of the most favored spots of the
Pacific Coast. Ten or fifteen years in
lively mining towns units . person for
the enjoyment Of the more tanner pleas
ures Of the agricultural regions, which
in shor time pail upon the taste and
he longs for the busy scenes and excite
ment which have become = second ma
ture and which are almost necessary to
his very existence. This has been
the experience Of thousands of men on
this coast, who. while toiling to .accu-
mulate wealth to enable them to settle
in more favored localities, find that the
realizations Of their dreams brin.s with
it not even a moiety of the pleasure ex-
perienced in the authorization.

A "Reminiscences.

A member of the Rod and Gun Club
Oi this city claims to have given Jesse
James lessons in the art of pistol shoot
ing, many years ago. A hotel keeper
In Butte AYERS that jesse used to board
at his table-which seems probable as q
means Of accounting for the subsequent
murder0us career Of the immortal ham
dit, who doubtless thus early in life had
the milk of human kindness badly
s0ured on his hands. No old c0lured
person who nursed Jesse in his infancy
had been discovered up to last night,
but we are more than rewarded for the
sad vacuum in our hero obituary glory
by this information in the Helena He. ;
AID Of the I'D inst: 1--WE were inform
ed by N old timer to-day that he has a
remembrance Of the time Jesse James
passed through Helena en- route to Ben
ton and down the Missouri. The Incl
dent occurred many years ago." How
bleak in its savage simplicity, how
startling in its sudden subsequence is
this touching incident. Perhaps some
newspaper man in Helena can be resur-
rected from the fossils Of the profession
and sOlelnnly sworn to the truth of the
statement that he borrowed q chew of
tobacco from Jesse.

high and full success Theaudience was much
larger than the opening audience of last year,
fairly filling the Opera House below the en-

orchestra, SO as to give room for seats for a
hundred and forty singers and these were
nearly all filled. The chorus is as much bet
ter as it is larger than that of last year. Its
improvement in volume, precision aud express
sion is very marked and the choral singing
which was the main feature of the concert,
must have surprised and delighted every

JUDGE RI:DIlELD.
Scandal Exploded.

The Springfield R,pubijraa on Monday
published an editorial paragraph portion of
which was as follows The hOnorcd name
of Judge Timothy p. Rcdfied of Vermont,
is privately associated with recent New
York experience similar to that of which
Charles Frances Adams was the victim few
months ago, and involving the loss of some
$1,000, 1t is SAID to have had Il distressing
effect upon Judge Redfield's health, and is

of improbablity, and we are glad to learn
that it has not the slightest foundation in fact
The Montpelier 1,gIS says, referring to it;
"rhe editor of the A1guS and Patriot is able
to say, from personal knowledge, and is will
ing to he held responsible for the correctness
OF his statements, that there is not sCintila

Il New York experience similar to that which
Charles Francis Adams was the victim. We
make this assertion with iull knowledge of

DEATH.
Burial Of J ohm browns son watson
AT North I.lbn, NY.

correspondence ~ inc 70 " lffs' MAJ llmrN-l
NERoRNNgs, w. Oct. IL. lSSa
Your correspondent had the pleasure Of an
interview, to-day, with the widow OF The
martyr, John Brown, whose tragic death a
Chnrestown, Virginia, in the latter part
of 1859, is chronctd in history. The pur-
pose of this lady in coming East from her
California home was To lay the remains of her
son Watson who was killed at llaprrS
Ferry, beside ihosi of his father,and her hus.
band, John Brown, at North Eiba n. Y.
She was accompanied to North Elba, by her
two sons, John and Owen Brown. Religious
and commemorative services were performed
on the green in font Of the old homestead,
where John Brown settled in or about 1913,
on land owned by Gcrritt Smith, and donated
by him to such lored pt opla as would settle
ON ii. The services were peculiar and
imprt ssivr, ana were conducted by
Rev, Mr. Pope Of North Elba, u,.is'
ed by Rev. Mr.. Lyoa There were pr '-.i
many hunters and farmers of the AdUon-
dack region and old ncighbors OF the family.
AT the close of the seryic the company was
addressed by both john and Owen Brown,
and the former read letter from Il South
Caroliuiau, present at the death of Watson,
together with Watson's reply. \ letter from
regret AT lis Inability 10 be present. Further
letters from absent members Of the family Of
the deceased were read. Four of the family
were present.
The most remarkable feature of the affair
was the recovery of the remains of Watson
after many years by the mother. 1t seems
at the time of Walson's death his body was
taken possession of by the Virginia authori-
ties who donated it to the West Chester,
Medical Institute where it remained until
the close of the war, despite the appeal
of the mother for its burial. The
surgeon of an Indiana regiment who had
heard the story finally procured the
body aud carried it home with him. Learn
ing some months since of Mrs Browns in
teniion to come East and visit the grave OF
her husband, he wrote her, Offering to give
up the remains for burial, should she desire.
This offer was gladly accepted and the re-
mains were inferred as narrated above.
Mrs Brown Is tall, erect woman OF ap
parently seventy years of age, but with {
couutenance bearing marks of extreme anx
iety and care. She proceeds from this city
