A Touching Tale,


Denver Times: A story that would
form a basis for one of Wilkie COllins's
plots came to light yesterday, the deRoee-
ment being of a highly satisfactory char
acter to both parties concerned. Six
years ago a young machinfst named Hi
ram Wilson, working in Pittsburg, was
married, his wife being a poor girl who
had beer his schoolmate and associate
for years. The pair commenced life un-
der fiattering circumstances, the husband
being a skillful, industrious mechanic,
and the wife a careful, frugal housewife.
Wilson had saved several hundred dol
lars, with which he purchased a neat lit
tie home in the outskirts of the Smoky
City, and settled down to a life of domes-
tic happiness. They had been married
about a year when the discovery of Lead
ville's riches created a demand for ma
chinists in this State. and having re-
ceived a flattering offer young Wilson
came out here. His wife was about to be
confined, aud so, selling his property, he
established her in comfortable lodgings,
and depositing all of his money to her
credit, except just enough to bring him
to Colorado, left for the West. She was
TO follow him as soon as she was able to
travel. Some two months afterward Will
son. who was then at work in Leadville,
received a note announcing the birth of
a son. Three weeks later, while busily
engaged in preparing a place for his
little family, he was Mortified to receive
"a letter which stated that his wife, in a
fit of delirium had disappeared, taking
advantage of the temporary absence OF
the nurse, and had not been heard from.
lie at once returned to Pittsburg, and
for six months prosecuted an %unavailine
search. The money left III the bank had
not been touched, the wife having enough
in hand for ordinary expenses, and after
expanding nearly all in the search, he
gave up and returned to Colorado, heart
| upon going to his clearinghouse to dip
ner, Mr.. Wilson was told that a lady
wished to see him, and on entering the
parlor was confronted by the well-known
and well-belOved features of his wife.
Her story was brief. She remembers
nothing of her fight, but on coming to
her senses, which was last spring, she
found herself in an insane asylum in
Ohio, and was told that she was found
raving in the streets of Cincinnati. The
first indications of returning reason was
! the sudden recollection of her name. She
remained in the asylum a few weeks until
her cure was certain, when she was dis
charged. Finding work at her old trade
of dressmaking, she wrote to her hus-
band at Leadville, but his whereabouts
was unknown, and her letters were re-
turned. Accommodating a little money.
| she went to Pittsburg, aud there learned
that her baby was dead-it survived her
| flight only a few dayS-and was told OF
| her husbands address in Denver. and
that he still mourned her loss. KIND
friends furnished her money, and, with
out writing, she came at once to this city
arriving here yesterday morning, with the
happy result already noted.

Ahout Eooflight Fairies.

Mr.. Leon John Vincent, the ballet
master, in answer to the question, Are
the jealousies in the profession violent?"
said:
Rather. When a girls enters the
business she has a hard row to hoe. If
she has a good shape, but no particular
merit as a dancer, she begins as a fgH-
1dnte, and then the other fgHrantes make
it pleasant for her by inquiring what she
means by wrapping feather pillows
around her knees, and whether she mis-
takes the theater for a fat woman's exhi-
bition. She has her revenge, of course,
on the next newcomer, and when she
learns a step or two and becomes a cory
phee, she can't be induced to believe
that there is anybody on the stage but
herself. She even looks upon the pre-
miere with compassionate disdain. AT
rehearsal the premiere reserves her pow
ers, and after a step or two on her toes,
will go through the rest of the figure
with her fingers, simply keeping time
with the music. The coryphees insist
| upon doing the same thing, and it isn't
until the ballet-master has torn out three
or four handfuls of his hair and kicked
down a couple of grooves of scenery that
they will agree to complete the dance

Early Pacific Railroad Surveys.

Mr.. Lorin Blodget, in Bradstreet's, re-
wives some interesting history respecting
the early surveys of Pacific railroads. 1t
was during the administration of Pres
ident Pierce. when Jefferson Davis was
Secretary of War, that three routes were
examined by United States engineers.
What was known as the central route
was surveyed by Capt. Gunnison, who
went VI the Arkansas river through the
Coochetope Pass into what's now known
as the "Gunnlson country, and lost his
life by hostile Indians. The surveyors
of the central route, then the f~avorite in
the eyes Of Congress and the country,
partly on account of its central location.
but more on account Of the advocacy of
Col. Benton, met with far more geoeraph-
zeal and climatic obstacles than those of
any other route. The thirty-tifth parai-
lei route was surveyed by Lieut.. Whip
pie, who went up the Canadian, crossed
the Rio Grande at Albuquerque, aud the
Colorado river above Fort Yuma. and
went into Southern California. The
northern route was surveyed by Mai.
Isaac j. Stevens, and though attracting
less attention at the time, the work of
that able engineer elected more signii
cant information than either of his
eoadintors in this difficult service.
The writer notes that the great
features of contour of the continent
determined by these surveys were that
the maximum elevation Of the interior
was in the middle or lower ATTITUDES. and
the s,ole nOrthward was quite as decided
aud remarkable as that eastward or west
ward. Many of the tributaries of the
Upper Missouri and of the Columbia run
northward many hundred miles, and the
Missouri Valley at the foot of the Rocky
mountains, Fort Benton, is but 1868 feet
above the level OF the sea, or less than
half the average altitude of the plateau
for 20O0 miles southwark. This gives tC
this upper valley a climate as mild as
that of Pennsylvania. The average TEN.
perature of the several seasons and the
year is greater at Fort Benton than al
Rochester, y. Y, or at the average o.
positions in Middle Pennsylvania. Thes,
were intensely interesting as the frs
facts determined as to that remote dis
trict, but they are now made familiar b!
thirty years of War Department anC
Signal Service observations of climat;
for the entire interior. Thirty year,
have wrought such wonders in railroad
building that not only have transconti
mental roads been constructed over eaci
of these general routes, but collatera
and connecting lines have been built an,
the work of further Intervening tn,
system still goes on.

And my needle is flying fast.
Hook to the field across the way
As It's swept by the autumn blast.
Memory flies to the far past dim,
To that autumn time when l read to him
As we sat on the sloping upland Did,
read the search for the fleece of gold.
He was my Jason, stately and proud,
The world held nothing half so fair,
Ny heart in humblest worship bowed
To the stately man that was seated there.
He loved me n little, or so he said,
He had found my heart stainlessly free,
His own on n furious passion had fed,
He brought its ashes and cinders to me.
l took the ashes for dust of gold,
The cinders were diamonds in my sight,
] loved as my race had loved of old,
Our souls were pure by a lofty right.
He cheated met just as men have done
Since that hero of whom my young lips read
G~grieved not long over knowledge won,
1 turned to my old first lore instead.
My hearts first love so grand and great,
His brave, strong spirit, his soul so high,
He crowned me queen of his hearts estate,
None else were left to mourn save l.
This life's fair idols all else lay dead,
My mother among them, last and best,
His hopes and ambitions alike had fed,
He fred mine with an eager zest.
He opened books of mystical lore.
Through each labyrinth he was my guide,
Oh, surely there neycr was child before
Had a teacher, loved with such tender prid,
lie told me tales of grand romance
As he sat where my Jason did of old,
A yellow field was beneath his glance.
He told of the field of cloth of gold.
There. watching the plumy golden-rods
Under the breezcs of autumn sway,
Memory waves her magic wand,
Transports me back to that early day.
Dear old heart, until death had laid
Its icy touch on that pulse of thine,
From its first allegiance never strayed.
And /, L have Herer sweryed from mine.
l know whom the sands of life dy fast.
And my spirit springs from shell of clay,
He will meet and guide me rs in the past.
