Wiles OF a, Interyievr.

The hardest man TO interview, in my
experience, WAS Siinon Cameron. The
only time it was nv fortune to tackle
him was shout three wear since. and
the place was "A. the Girard House, in
Phi iadelphia. In response to card ne
sent word lie could not he seen. '.No
ma ter.f said a political friend of his,
who desired to see the statesman cor
nered. "Fll fix it SO you can corner
him" An hour afterward we sat in
ene of the offices facing each other. and
| (without revealing my indemnity AS
the lsearer of the cardD recalled 10 his
memory a time when l had been sent
for. rs an officer of the army, to meet
President Lincoln. Gen. Mcclellan and
himself at his private otfice in tbe War
d partment. The old man grew inter-
ested and talked, and before he realized
the situation he had answered half II
dozen political questions. Then sud-
denly he craspei both arms of his char.
rose up, and said emphatically: Il will
not be interviewed, sir Good day."
He marched out Indignantly. while his
political friend chuckled. The inter-
view was published, and was denied.
But the writer does not care to encoun-
ter the veteran again in that field.
However, this is enough OF such remi-
niscences.
A very hard man to get at was the
late George Law. the millionaire city
railway king. Naturally taciturn, ne
made himself practically inaccessible
except to those who had pecuniary
transactions with him. About three
years ago New York paper desired TO
obtain an expression of his financial
and political views, but was puzzled to
find the means. Very opportuneiy 3
former intimate friend of his died--a
man who bad been United States
Senator from Florida before the war,
ana had afterward removed TO Canada,
leaving Instructions in his will that his
body should never be carried to the
United States for burial. Armed with
this fact went to Mr.. Laws mouse on
Fifth avenue early one morning, and
found him seated at o long table cover
ed with papers, in the front basement,
| clad in a. shabby red dressing gown and
| busily debating to two secretaries AT
the mention Of his friends name he
wheeled around in his chair and paid
his memory nm earnest tribute. This
was only the bait. and the reporter then
rose. and. hat in hand, put in few
suggestions as to finance and politics.
The ice having been tiiawed. and the
visitor apparently having finished his
newspaper business, Mr.. Law spoke
very decidedly upon the political and
| financial situation. and nj hafan hour 3
| length. Il Is SAID that when he read
! the interview his profanity shook tho
! entire block. - Phiia3espaia Record.

The whole course of the Gibbon river
from its source in the Shoshone geyser
basin, high up in the mighty Rockies to
its confluence with tie Madison is one
continued picture iof bold and sublime
scenery and one of the marked spots in this
exquisite panorama of mountain lovlinesS
is Gibbon Falls. The traveller will find
itlificult to obtain vantage spot to view
this picturesque scene as the

wary in his descent, and if he wishes to
see the falls at their best he must descend
to the river channel, and this is impossible
Immediately at the falls, the walls tower
ing up almost perpendicularly. From be
low the falIs have a most pleasing effect,
the water coming down from above in q
series of Irregular cascades over steps Of
rocks broken and uneven, which breaks up
the water sheet and gives it an ininIty of
coloring most grateful to the eye. The
river at this point tumbles, or more &C
curately speaking rolls down an uneven
and steep descent of eighty feet. The
rocky walls are clothed with stately pines,
which, with the light yellow color of the
locks and the foamy waters, make q pic
ture to be remembered in after time by
the tourist.

The Bee6 iCe.

Our second illustration of the Geyser
region is the Beehive, so called from the
shape of the crater, which is three feet high,
thirteen feet in circumference at the base
and ten feet around the apex. The crater,
an orifice from which the water issues, is
eliptical in form, the greater axis being
3615 inches and the less q inches. It
stands upon a mound of silicious clay, the
gently rising slopes of which are smooth
and unobstructed. Reaching the cone one is
surprised at the heat and sulphurous nature
of thevapory air whichis constantly issuing
from it. The Beehive lies in line direct
northwest from Old Faithful and imme-
diately over the river which is crossed by
a foot bridge at this point. The remarka-
BILE feature of this geyaer Is its insigniti-
cant appearance aud the grandeur of its
erupt1ons. Another remarkable circum-
stance is the provision of a warning vent
which exists about three quarters of rod
from the cane from which issues a vigor-
Gus spout of steam for tseuty minutes
before the eruption takes place. A few
minutes after the steam warning gases
the grand display is made. A hug column
