OUR ARTHUR
Moves His Camp In Search Of Grass
for His Mule.
Ups and Downs and sights of An
Hours March.

CAMP STAGER, ON TERRY's LAKE.
WroMING, August l2-AVia Washakie. } !
twas determined last night to move
our camp by morning, a few miles to
where there would be more abundant
grass for the horses and mules. Ac-
cordingly at $50 every one; was in the
saddle and started up the valley on the
right bank Of the river. Owing to the
rain of yesterday the trail was in
splendid condition for comfort and
marching. The sun was obscured by
clouds, and with the temperature
pele# 30 degrees, our short journey
would not be wished at an end. An
hours travel over hills and rolling
land Wind lriver was reached at a
point where it passes through gorgeous
masses of rocks known as "red
buttes." The first crossing was made
by fording in a diagonal direction up
stream, where the water was SO rapid
In its flow that ones neighbor seemed
to be moving up the river with the
hope of running horses. Soon by a
short ford it was crossed and at the end
OF another mile the western boundary
Of the Skoshone reservation was
reached. From this point the travel
was very interesting, but not so diff
cult. The journey was over series
of lofty divides, to escape precipita-
ton over the banks Of small streams
flowing from the mountains into the
river. In descending one Of these, it
was necessary to dismount and lead
the horses. On the highest divide we
dismountcd, to take in the beautiful
view, covering scores of miles up and
down the river, with the snow
covered peaks Of the Shos,
homo mountains in full view in
front of us and those of Wind River
mountains at our back. Here we took
our last look at the grand mark, Grow
Heart Butte, thirty miles away, which
had been in view since leaving Fort
Wsshakie.

Women who Swim.

els the. art ever likely to be useful to
ladies?"
"To show you that the art of swim
ming is often useful, ever to women, !
can recall two or three instances in
the career of certain pupils of ours
that will prove very interesting. One
of II pupils was a daughter of ex-
Secretary of the Navy Borie. She was
an expert swimmer and perfectly fear
less. One day in the summe Of 1871,
when she was bathing on the beach at
Cape May, two children that belonged
to a party near her were seized by a re-
ceding wave and carried out beyond
their depth. Neither could swim, and
the ladies who were with them were
equally helpless. Taking in the situa-
ton at a glance, Miss Borie swan out
into the swelling surf, and in a moment
had rescued the drowning children.
"Another young lady, also a pupil Of
ours, a Miss Laury, whose father is a
coal dealer at Lombard street wharf,
saved a minister and another gentle
man at a watering place on Long Island
after a perilous swim. The men could
not swim, and having been seized by
the undertow were drawn out into
deep water, where they We're helpless.
Miss Laury swan to them, and by her
noble aid they got safely ashore. What
would have been her feelings at that
moment if she had not known how to
swim! Still another pupil of ours has
distinguished herself by saving life. This
was Miss Fanny Reigel, the daughter of
q dry goods man. One day when she was
riding near Hammellsburg, a little
village on the Delaware, she saw some
children playing in a boat on a large
mill dam. Suddenly, to her horror, the
boat upset, and three little children
were struggling in the water. Without
the loss OF a second she sprang from
her carriage, and, only stopping to
throw off her bonnet and shawl, plunged
into the pond. She was enabled for.
tunately to save three lives, whereas,
had she not been a swimmer, she
would not have had the horrible mem
DRY all her life Of the death struggles OF
the little i%nnocents.
II only cite these instances to show
that an opportunity for doing good
often occurs to a woman who can swim.
A distinguished author says of the art:
There is no exercise more graceful,
more easy, more pleasant, more health
giving to the humanframe. II expands
the chest. it rounds the arms, it develops
the muscles of the trunk, gives vigorto
the loin and strengthens and fills out
the lower limbs. 1t confers presence of
mind and confidence in ones self, and
prepares women as we'll as men to sus-
tain themselves and to help others in a
form of danger to which the contingen-
cies of travel must often expose us. ~

Tricks Of Diamond Smugglers.

A New York letter says: The recent
sale of struggled diamonds was the
largest in the cu~stom-house record, and
shows the a%udacity with which this
fraud is practiced. The method is
very ingenious, and the system has been
so we'll arranged that our officials have
been compelled to employ spies in for
iegn ports, who telegraph the departure
of suspected persons. As o o as the
latter arrive they are taken to the
searcher bureau in the custom house,
where, if necessary, they are stripped
to the skin. The clothing is also
searched. even to the seam, and some-
times the heel of the boots are removed
to see if they are not hollow. Even the
hair is combed, and a wig (f one be
worn) is thoroughly examined. In one
instance a passenger by one of the
Cunard steamers had $4,000 worth of
precious stones concealed in the lining
of his boots. which were discovered and
confiscated. The man was a dealer in
these articles, and was determined to
continue inthe traffic. In a short time.
he went again to London and soon re-
turned. On this occasion he was closely
searched, but nothing was found. Az
soon as he was released, he went back to
the steamer and carried off a large guam
tity of diamonds he had secreted in his
room Some time ago the authorities
received notice of the departure of q
notorious diamond smuggler from Eu-
rope for this port. On his arrival
he was taken to the searchers' bureau
and thoroughly examined. In his pocket
was an invoice Of eighteen precious
stones, and his clothes were examined.
each garment by itself. The officers
were gratified to discover the precise
number mentioned in the invoice, and
allowed the nan to depart. When he
went home he removed a plaster from
his back, in the ridges of which he had
concealed the true diamonds, those
discovered being merely imitation,
placed there in order to deceive. The
ingenuity with which these frauds have
been practiced has aroused still closer
search and one of the results is the seiz,
ure of the last mentioned invoice,

Turkish Wives.

A Mussulman is allowed by the
Koran to have four wives, though many
have as many as they can keep in com.
fort. The first wife is called the hanun,
and takes precedence over the others all
her life. She has a right to the best
roomsa and to a fixed share of her hus.
bands income, which he must not re.
duce to minister to the caprice of his
younger spouses. AS these points have
generally been settled through the
imans before the wedding, a hanun's
iointure is safe as that of a French
woman who has had a contract drawn
up by a notary. She visits and enter.
tains the hanuns Of other gentlemen,
but keeps aloof from the wives Of ths
second and other degrees. These are
not equal in her sight, being generally
ladies of a lower social status, who have
not brought any dover to their hus.
bands. Time was when a pasha would
take four wives of equal degree, all be.
ing daughters of other pashas or of the
Sultan, and all richly portioned; but
manners have altered in this respect-at
all events in the European part of Tur.
key. The Turkish wife is not a slave.
The chief fault to find with her is thai
she has too lofty a sense of her own dig.
nity. An advocate Of female rights would
have some difficulty in persuading hel
that her lot was ~pitiable; she has never
snvied the emancipation Of Christian
women, whose free ways shock her,
while she has noticed that they gol
much less respect from the men of theil
faith than that which is invariably
eouchsafed to herself. She wells hel
face with no more regret than q West
ern lady unveils her shoulders. Turk.
ish women are not shut up. They ge
out when they please. If a husband
meets his wife in the street he makes M
sign of recognition. If he perceives hel
hating before q Diapers stall and gaz
inc at silks dearar than he can afford
he must possess his soul in resignation
muttering 'Mash Allah!" This respec
for women prevails also in the HON.
circle. and it comes naturally to tn,
Mussulman, who has been taught from
boyhood to behave courteously to thu
softer sex. Turkish girls are unaffect
eddy modest. Those of the lower elias:
who are engaged as servants in tile
houses of Frank residents are much pre-
ferred to Greeks or Armenians for theil
excellent behavior, cleanliness and re
gard for truth. Looking upon mar
riage as their natural destiny, they are
careful of their regulations. and wher
married make tirst-rate housewives. NJ

the strict womanly reserve which
used to be the universal rule.-Cor

Advertising Sunday Bathing.

A tall young man went in bathing in
the Mohawk River at Schenectady on a
recent Sunday with several other Sab
bath breakers, in spite of previous pro-
tests against their selection of such a
conspicuous place for their additions.
While they were in the water y Mr.. Van
Voast appeared on the bank and carried
off an armful of their clothing. All of
the bathers, however, had enough ap-
parel left to get home without undue ex'
posture except the tall young man,
whose only remaining raiment was a
collar and a pair of shoes. But as luck
would have it he found e the river
an empty barrel, out of which he
knocked the heads and into which he
stepped, and thus appareled he made
his way home across the fields, painfully
holding up the barrel as he walked, but
dropping and sinking into it whenever
anyone appeared in sight: Before he
reached the paternal mansion half the
dogs in town had detected his predica-
.ment and united to form a bowling es-
cort. 1t is thought that MI. Van Voast's
method of abolishing Sunday bathing
will be successful Saturday (N.f.)

The prevalence Of smallpox is a
serious annoyance to a mans peace OF
mind in travelling in New Mexico. In
the villages scattered through the
country there are always some and
frequently many cases, and the Mex
leans, so far from attempting to check
the disease, consider it necessary and
right, if a neighbor is sick with it, not
ONLY to visit him themselves, but also
to take with them their entire family
down to the infant in arms. They are,
besides, superstitiously opposed to
vaccination.
