LETTER FROM COLORADO.

Sdtlia, COL, july 2Jtn, 1888.
Editor Journal -
l left Leadville the other
morning by coach. We had nine per-
sons inside and FIVE outside and on the
top of our coach, with conslderab bic
baggage. Oar inside passengers were
afraid that the concern was top-loaded
to heavily, but we got along safely
without upsetting. | was glad TO find
in the person of fellow traveller son
of Mr.. Philip Granny, of Brush Valley.
He and DR.. Manley, a br0ther-in-law,
reside in Krokoma and are engaged in
prospecting.
| arrived at Twin lakes at 10 O'Clock
i'll the morning. These are two beau
tiful sheets Of clear, fresh water, Separ-
ated by strip of land about forty rods
wide, on which Mr.. Philip Weaver has
tent and cabin erected. The lower
lake is about three miles long and two
ami a bali wide. On its banks are sew.
eral hotels for the accommodation of
tourists, a number of dwellings and
tents, a steamboat and yacht and lots
of small boats to hire for fishing pur-
poses OF pleasure. The upper lake is
two miles long aud one and a half
wide. Several hotels, smithy, half Il
dozen dwellings,, stamp mill and "a
post Office are located here. Altogeth.
Ell this is a most delightful spot and no
tourist coming to Colorado should miss
visiting the Twin Lakes.
When l came in full view Of the low
er lake slw Mr.. Weaver and his two
sons John and George, aged II and 1G
respectively out in their boats fishing.
They came in for dinner. with sixty
fine trout, ttCo Of which made a most
excellent dinner for the writer. At
ter dinner Mr.. Weaver hitched up his
team and We spent the afternoon in
driving around the upper lake and see
ing all that is to be seen in this inter-
esting region. | saw the blacksmith
carry two inch oak plank and asked
him the price Of such lumber. He an
swered that it was % to % cents per
foot. What do our Penn's Valley peo-
pie think of that as price for lumber?
1t costs 50 to shoe horse here. Ho-
tel rates are from s. to 81 a day. Com.
mon wages S3 day counting 81 for
boarding.
We returned from our drive in good
time, and supper over we all went fish
ing. In the morning the anglers use
baited hooks. Grdsshoppers are the
best bait and are much in demand,
however worms are also used. They
60 out on the lake and anchor the boat,
keeping it stationary. In the evening
a different system IS taken. Flies are
used and the boat is kept moving all
the time. One man works the oars
and the others attend to the rods. Mr..
Weaver did the rowing ard the boys
and hauled out the trout. We caught
lJ0 while out,of which [ had the good
luck to secure 81. They average about
ten inches, four to pound when dresss Z
ed. Mr.. Weaver keeps them alive in
boxes, and they are afterwards killed
and cleaned as shipped to market.
They are putting up telephone poles
from here to LeadYille, and a railroad
to this point is projected. l am highly
delighted with my trip to Twin Lakes,
but will close for this time, promising
to write again.
Truly Yours,
JOHN G. MoTz.

n Isau Man.

A story is told of a prominent Whining
tonlan who several years ago was inclined
to be full of fun, little irreverent and
somewhat short OF cash. Ono afternoon,
perhaps seven or eight years ago, he was
met by friend who addressed him thus:
81 say, Charley, who was that nice look
ing old lady. you had out riding the other
day on the Kennett pike7"
"That," replied the young man, 'twas
my rich aunt. She IS about 95 years old,
and was afraid she had been forgotten
and was never going to die, 80 took her
out to show her TO the Lord"
The questioner was somewhat shocked
at the reply, and made no further remarks.
In about three weeks, however, he met his
friend Charley, the old lady IN the mesn-
time having died and been buried, and
thus addressed him "Well, Charley, |
see you plan worked, and the Lord has
taken your aunt. How did you make out
by her will"
"Only part Of tho scheme worked,
George" replied the young man, with a
iugubrlous cast of features and l-haven't-
g0t-a-cent-ln.the-w0 voice. ''lhe old
lady was taken, that's true, but when her

A Wooden Log Under Firo.

A fashionably dressed matron sat in the
rear cabin OF Fulton ferry boat, New
York. She was accompanied by-a--t thin
legged, restless eyed little girl of 4 or
thereabouts. A few seats away was d man
with wooden leg. With unerrlng instinct
the child's eye had lighted upon this man.
That eye at once became fixed, dilatIng
with concentrated interest. The child
crawled down from her seat, upon which
she had been kneelng. IN order to afford
that eye better facilities for observation.
The object OF scrutiny squirmed uneas,ly
in his seat. Turning to the mother the
chlld exclaimed in portentous whisper:
"Oh, MAJ Look at that man."

rude" l...
''But ma" Gn very audible whisper),

AT this juncture the man with the wood
en- leg sought, IN turn, to create diversion
He drew from his pocket pretty little
bonbon box and offered the child some
sweetmeats. The child accepted them
with some hesitation and mstrust. An
instant later the boat reached the slip. The
mother rose, and smiling graciously, said !:
"Thank the gentleman, Ethel, and say
good bye"
Ethel advanced, hor eyes still firmly
fixed upon the object Of interest. She held
out the tips Of her little fingers.
"0ood dbye," she said, IN voice full OF
emotion; ''goOd-bye, you poor man."
The mother seized the child by the hand

Saved by q Soa-IsIrd.

A singular story has been related to lis
by the master of the bark "Gladstonc," "
which arrived from London at Sydney,
Australia, on the 22d, of March. While the
vessel was in latitude 40 degrees south and
longitude 90 degrees east, a seaman fell
overheard from the starboard gangway.
The bark was scuddlng along with a
rough sea and moderate wind, but on the
alarm of "man overheard" being given
she was rounded to. and tho starboard life
boat was lowered, manned by tho chief
officer and four mon. A search for tho
unfortunate man was made, but owing TO
the roughness Of the sea he could not be
discovcrcd; but tho boat steercd to tho
spot where he was last seen. Here they
found him floating, but exhausted, clnging
for bare life to the logs and wings Of q
huge albatross. Tho bird had swooped
down on tie man while the latter was
struggling with the waves and attempted
to peck him with its powerful beak. Twice
tho bird attacked Its prey unsuccessfully,
being beaten off by the sailor battling with
two enemies--tbe water and the albatross
both greedy and Unsuitable. ror the
third time the hugo white form Of the bird
hovered over the seaman, preparatory to q
final swoop. The bird, eager Cor It's meal,
famed Its victim with it's widespread
wings. Suddenly thought occurred to
HIM that tho huge form 50 close to his face
might become his involuntary rescucr.
Quick as thought ho reached up and
seized the bird, which he proceeded to
strangle with oil his might. Tho huge
creature struggled with wings and paddles
to free itself. In the contest tho sailor
was beaten black aud blue, and cruelty
lacerated, but he held his own, and slowly
the bird quivered and died. The carcass
floated lightly on tho waves, It's feathers
forming q comfortable support for the ex--
bausted man, who had 80 narrowly es-
capped lingering death. But another
danger awaited him. He was not much
of swimmer, and the excitement of the
extraordinary conflict began to tell upon
HIM. lie was faint and grew giddy. But
with one arm around the albatross' body,
under the wing, and ono hand clutching
the BIRDS feet, the sailor awaited his
chance of rescue. Presently he heard his
comrades shout from the boat, aud in a
few minutes moro was safe on board tho
bark, though good deal shaken and ex
hausted,

city.
'Insulted yon," reiterated the trainer,
with an expression Of contempt almost
sufficient to make tho novice sink into the

"Were you never lnsulted," timidly re-

'.Never, sir; not even during the period
of my novitiate, which passed through very

ty-five feet Of twine, and attached to ono
