THE DEVILS NEST.

Colonel I. w. Brooks, once prom
inent citizen of Georgia, but now a
resident of California, read very
able and interesting paper, short
time ago, before the high school of
Pomona, Cal, of which he is trus-
tee. The colonels theme was "The
DEVILS Nest" a wild and mysterious
locality near the Grand canyon of
the Colorado river. Colonel Brooks
visited the Devils Nest with several
Indian guides. When they arrived
at what seemed to be an immense hole
in the ground they let the visitor
down by rope several hundred feet
to a rocky ledge, and then repeated
the operation from ledge to ledge un-
til he had descended 5000 teet. He
then found himself in beautiful val
ley. In this valley the Moqua In
dams reside, "the most decrepid,
blind, moOn-eyed, cross eyed, deform-
ed human beings to be found on the
face of the earth" These Indians
live in a little village and there are
evidence going to show that the tribe
has lived in this peculiar place for
thousands of years. At one time the
notorious John b. Lee, after his Gel
ebrated Mountain Meadow massacre,
sought refuge in the Devils Nest and
remained securely hidden several
weeks. This valley, Colonel Brooks
states, embraces a territory two miles
by eight. 1t has no outlet except by
scaling the walls, 5000 feet in height.
These walls are vertical, smooth and
hard, except at the east end. The
people living in this sink hole are
completely cut off from the world,
but they have little paradise Of
their own. Sparkling brooks, gush.
ing springs and all kinds of tropical
fruit and flowers beautify the place,
Such are some of the more prominent
characteristics of the Devils Nest.

A Florida orange grower writes to
a friend at Lincoln, Neh., as follows /:
II want somebody to eat up all my
oranges and garden stuff. Last sea-
son | shipped 80 crates of oranges
and about a car load of truck and
melons. My commission merchant
at the end of the season sent me a
bill of S53.45 to balance accounts.
Now, am not discouraged. This is
lovely country, and l propose to
stay here, but, by thunder, l propose
to economic. So | want enough
good fellows to come down here tc
eat my stuff and save the expense Of
selling it."

A DEAD BABY BALE OF RAGS.

| Washington Letter to Cleveland LeadeEl
Great quantities of rags are ship
ped to the United States from all
parts of the world. They are used
for making paper, and are sent
from the seaboard to the various pa
per mills throughout the country.
The annual importation now amounts
to about half a million bales. Each
bale contains from 400 to l 200 pounds
of rags. They are tightly pressed
together and come into this country
securely bound for shipping. You
can have no idea of the sources from
which these rags are obtained. A
large amount of them come from ia
pan, and thousands of bales from Cal
cutta. The Calcutta rags are the
worst. They are made up in large
part from the wrappings of dead bod
les. The bodies of the dead are
thrown into the river, and when these
rags float ashore, or can be other
wise gotten, they are shipped here for
the paper trade. Sometimes impur-
tiles of different kinds creep into the
bales. In one bale not a long time
ago dead baby was found. and lin
other bales other foul matter has
been discovered The Egyptian rags.
are largely tainted with camels' man
ure, and those gathered from the gut
tiers and streets of Shanghai are foul
beyond description. A great amount
of rags comes from Japan to us. [
think there are more than 10000
bales now on the way. Some of the
rags sent to this country come from
districts in which infectious diseases
are raging, and it is fact worth no
ticing that all of the vessels arriving
here in which smallpox has broken
out have been vessels carrying rags.

The richest bootblack in America
is Patrick Malloy, Of Saratoga. He
owns two houses and has fat bank
account. He seems unable to ex-
plain how he got rich in any other
way than by saying that he and an
other boy started out together, and
while the other boy invested in horses,
he put his money in the bank. Once
a Boston swell came to him to get
his shoes polished, and said, as he
dropped a dime into the old mans
hand "That is the last cent I've got.
I've been betting and have lost every
dollar had. Now | must walk back
to Boston" The bootblack took him
to a railroad ticket office, bought a
ticket to Boston and gave that and
two dollars to him. The grateful
gambler repaid him with heavy in
terest when his luck returned.

Eczma of IL Years Standing Cured.

l suffered intense agony from ecze-
ma on my hands and arms for seven
teen years. At times was unable to
use them even to dress myself. During
the time ] tried every known remedy
without benefit. Six weeks ago
began using Swift's Specific, and
have thus far taken seven bottles.
To-day there is hardly a trace or
mark of any kind visible, and during
this period l have taken no other
medicine or used any external appli-
cation whatever, so that my cure is
entirely due to Swift's Specific.

The Story Of q Robust Roy.

Willie White, boy of seven years,
has been afflicted with scrofula ever
since he was three months old. His
scalp was last year almost mass of
sores. One of his eyes was perma-
nently injured, and his jaw running
in huge sores. In September last he
commenced to take Swift's Specific
under my direction. To-day he is a
fat, squabby, robust boy. His jaw is
well and his head is covered with
fine coat of hair. There is little
dryness about the scalp. This is the
only sign of the terrible disease left.
His mother desires me to thank the
proprietors of Swift's Specific very
heartily, and says she is so grateful
that words cannot express it. This
is Il remarkable cure.

SHOCKED.


And now comes the news from
Washington City that Cleveland has
thus soon shocked and scandaliEed
"society" at the capital city OF the coun-
try. "Wicked democrats" before the
election were warned of the fearful
results that wero to follow the election
of Cleveland, aud now, gentle reader,
these fearfully aud wonderfully scan
daliaing results are upon us. Yes, the
bon ton, the upper crust, the shoddy
aristocracy that necessarily follow IN
the wake of the rule of republican
leaders has been ruthlessly shocked in
this that Cleveland actually rises in the
morning and takes his breakfast at
eight o'clock. Just think of it Cleve-
land actually mastioating his beef steak
two or three hours before the aristo-
cratic denizsus of the "eity of msgnih-
cent distances" have aroused from
their slumbers. Aud this is not all.
When these shoddy aristocrats, about
the hour Of Il meridian, Washington
time, gently, but with great aristocratic
dignity emerge from their lordly couohes
and wend their way to the Executive
office, their eyes rest upon scene that
l. unbearably shocking. There ID to be
seen the President at work, actually In
kis shirt sleeves. How shocking to
the cultivated eyes of these republican
courtiers to see the plebeian president
at work 10 the way and manner of an
ordinary mortal. Surely PLesideot
Cleveland has net divested himself OF
the old fogy notions of Jefferson and
jackson that this is a government of
the people for the people and by the
people. Like Madison he thinks q
president is merely the,servant of the
people. Like Monroe, Pierce and
other democratic fossils, he yet clings
10 that ignoble, plebeian idea that
"oublic Office is a public trust" It is
evident tha. if Cleveland had lived iu
Revolutionary times he would have
sympathized so exclusively with the
oppressed colonies that he would have
pledged his life, his fortune, aud his
sacred honor to maintain that rebel
cause which resulted in the independ-
sncs of the American colonies, and the
Consequent foundation of republican
government. Yes, We call upon the
fzrm.r- the granger, the blacksmith,
the mechanic, the merchant, the con-
mon laborer, to note the fact that Cleve-
land is up and has his meals at eight
o'clock Washington time and thea goes
to bis Office, and, like you he, takes eff
his coat because be finds it uncomfort-
able to work with it on, and thus he
"scandalizes" the society of the ''city
of magnificent distances.
Ah! how truly and gladly do true
democratic Americans rejoice to have
themselves thus "scandalized."
