The Great American Desert.

Thomas Stevens, in Outing.
Dreary looking country is the great Amer
lean desert in Utah. along the northern bound
airy of which my route now leads To the left
of the road is low chain of barren hills; to the
right, the uninviting plain over which ones eye
wanders in vain for some green objects that
might raise hopes of less desolate region be-
yond; and over all hangs an oppressive silence
the silence of dead country country desti-
tute of both animal and vegetable life Over
the great desert hangs smoky haze, out of
which 'Pilot Peak" thirty eight miles away,
rears it's conical head 2 500 feet above the level
plain at its base. Some riding is obtained at
intervals along this unattractive stretch of coun-
try, but there are no sand papered" roads, and
the principal incentive too mount at all is
feeling of disgust at so much compulsory walk
ing A noticeable feature through the desert is
the almost unauenchable thirst that the dry, sa-
line air intiicts upon one. Reaching railway
station house | find no one at home; but there is
small underground cistern of imported water,
in which ''wrgglers' innumerable wriggle, but
otherwise good and cool. There is nothing to
drink out of. and the water is three feet from
the surface; while leaning down to try and drink,
the wooden framework Id the top gives way and
precipitates me head first into the water Luck
lily the tank is large enough to enable me to turn
round and reappear at the surface head first,
and with considerable difficulty l scramble out
again, with, of course, not a dry thread on me.
Wringing what water can from my clothes, /
leave note informing the section boss that
have rescued a half-drowned Indian from the
cistern, and, advising him not to drink the
water. once more went my way eastward.

of the United States, and saw the chief result Of

elements Of common humanity in the seats OF

and observed him who but lately

down with the responsibilities or =

and yet so sensitive to his own generous emo

thrown IN my possession, and cherish it as any
OF the richest mementoes of my life.

These DAYS.

O these first quiet, dreamy shining days
Of soft spring glamor pulsing president air
They tell of coming bloom; of fulness rare!
But me they tell of other days as fair,
When, through the Weakening woodlands winding
ways.
wandered, love lost, in the dim, cool maze.
Why, since my years have passed in idle train,
And lent themselves to build Forgetfulness,
Nor rose in stanch array to cheer and bless
My present with their deeds of kindness,
Must memory repeat the longing pain
In tender eyes ner shall see agains
Such tender eyes! Snch deep. dark, tender eyes!
That told their sweet mute story DER and DER!
Out of that Past they rise and still implore-
In vain, indeed for love can give more.
My deity hidden, yet deep, sweet surprise
Of Then, not now bid my love arise.
Oh had / then loved Truth Sincerity! nor let
The days wear by in vain and light pretense;
Instead OF idle and unmeant otfense
To love SO true; had yielded recompense;
Along the woodland ways we'd wander yet;
Bright days would bring new joys-not vain regret

What do you think as to the nature Of mat
teri" asked, unscrupulously. The answer was
prompt: Il do not believe that matter is inert,
acted upon by an outside force To me it seems
that every atom is possessed of a certain amount
OF primitive intelligence. Look at the thousand
ways in which atoms of hydrogen combine with
those or other elements forming the most di-
verse substances Do you mean to say that
they do this without intelligencea When they
get together in certain forms they make animals
or the lower orders. Finally they combine in
man. who represents the total intelligence of all
the atoms"
originality
From some power greater than ourselves"
DO you, then, believe in an intelligent Gre
ator. a personal Godl' was the next question
certainly said Mr.. Edison. 1.-The existence
OF such God, in my mind can almost be proved
from chemistry
Lucretius thought that all atoms were moved
oy -eellngS OF love or hate-what we call attrac-
ton or repulsion. Edison's idea is far more sub
tie since he allows the atoms only germ of in
te!lgence. 1t also seems to be quite in keeping
WIN the doctrine of evolution, while it contains
nothing that is not in harmony with the ideal
ism or the Platonists And so Whatsoever down
on Avenue B, in the prosaic city of New York, a
philosopher who believes in personal God, and
is at the same time the foremost exponent of
applied science. Curious that he should be at
work here. night after night in the midst of
million of people, only a few hundreds OF
whom know how he is employed during the
nocturnal hours! AS usual thing he works
until or 6 o'clockin the morning, his supper
basket remaining untouched beside him. and
sometimes it is 8 o'clock of the next day before
he leaves the bench or the laboratory. II can't
think out anything" he says, Except when I'm
experimenting / have a library of 5000 scien-
tific works, but somehow I can't find what /
want in books. How do / make calculations?
Well, don't know exactly. l can't do it on
paper. have to be moving around"
So there he goes moving around, thinking and
working with his hands, in the big sombre
building, while the city is asleep. He is the con-
trolling power of several large factories, mill
ionaire, a man of business marvellous inven-
tor; yet he is as simple and happy a child,
when. wrapped in an old seersucker dressing
gown he can manipulate at his will and without
interruption the mysterious forces and proper
ties Of nature In meeting him thought of him
more as poet or a musician than as machinist
and electrician Like the Brahmin L saw last
week, he deals with occult powers in quite a
different way, but perhaps to the same end. of
perfecting mans control over the elements that
shape life. 1t was significant that we climbed
dark stairway to reach the topmost plane of
light and intelligence. Americans are practical
and skeptical 1t ought to amuse them greatly
to learn that the champion of their inventive
genius is largely a believer in things unseen and
unknowable. GEORGE PARSONS LATHRoP

Letter In san francisco Bulletin.
The Yaqui hold the title to their lands from
the king of Spain, and do not recognize the re.
public Of Mexico. No taxes or imposts are levied
on them, or. if levied, they have not been col
lected. They are a hardy, agricultural race,
living on small patches of fertile soil on the
borders of the Yaqui river. They steal stock
when an opportunity offers but have rarely in
the last few years committed any murder.
Cajeme, their chief, IS of fair education
for Mexico, and stern ruler. He has absolute
control over them. The two nations combined
number over $4,000, of which at least 5000 are
adult males. Their principal arms are bows, ar
rows, spears and a three-cornered bludgeon
made of ironwood. Some of the arrows are
poisonous. They also carry powdered stone
in small sacks. used by them to throw in the
eyes of their adversaries. which is said to swell
them up and produce blindness Cajeme has a
royal guard, the major portion of WHOM are
mounted as cavalry and are picked men of the
nation There are said to be some 400 or 500 Of
them. The extent OF country occupied by them
reaches along the river some ninety miles, by an
average width of twenty miles Here are To-
Gated their towns or pueblos, each having it's
governor, judges, etc. who report to the chief.
They produce corn, beans, melons, pumpkins,
etc, and raise quite large number of chickens,
goats, pigs, etc, all Of winch find market In
Guaymas In fact. the supply of wood, cane
mats, oysters, and many other articles of SALE
in demand here at all times of the year, comes
from the Yaqui river. The trade Of the Yaqui
Indians with the port of Guaymas win average
over So, 900 monthly. Most of this produce is
exchanged for goods, and forms quite an item to
the small stores of the town.

NELSON'S Lawsuit.
s Dispatch to London Standard.

Paris Dispatch to London Standard.
Mime. Christine Nilsson is just now prosecut-
ing curious lawsuit. The defendants are the
father, the sister and the brothers of her late
husband NJ. RouZeaud and the action is brought
to recover from them the sum of 224 000f, alleged
by the plaintiff to have been advanced at differ
ert times by loan to NJ Rouzeaud 1t was in
July, 1872, that the marriage took place in
Westminster Abbey and by settlement made
under the provisions of the English law the for
tune OF the lady, then amounting to SOC, 000f,
and her future professional earnings we're ex-
cluded from the use or control of her husband,
who, according to the plaintiffs counsel was,
although of respectable family, possessed of no
property, and had previously held situation in
a bank. Nine Christine Nilsson lived with her
husband until shortly before his death-two
years ago-and had out of her private funds
loaned him at one time 10000 to buy an estate
in which his family were interested, and at an
other time 100, 000f to become partner in a
stock broking business. The balance of the sum
claimed was employed by NJ Rouzeaud in the
purchase of Russian stock and Panama bonds
NJ Rouzeaud died intestate and in lunatic
asylum, and the defendants, as heirs at law then
took possession of his property. On their be-
half it is contended that some of the sums
claimed were really never received by NJ Rouze-
aud, and that what he did receive from his wife
was given, and not loaned. Great stress was
laid by the counsel for the defendants on the
circumstance that Nine Nilsson, though an ex-
cellent woman of business, can produce no oocu-
mentary evidence In support of her plea. Judg-
ment was deferred for q fortnight

Dr. Holiness new Portfolio" in June Atlantic.
He is supposed to be millionaire, in vir-
tue OF the immense sales of his books, all
the money from which, it is taken for
granted goes into his pocket. Consequently,
all subscription papers are handed to him for
his signature, and every needy stranger who
has heard his name comes to him for assist
ance
He is expected to subscribe for all periodic
ais, and is goaded by receiving blank formula,
which, with their promises to pay, he is expected
to fill up.
He receives two or three books daily, with re-
quests to read and give his opinion about each Of
them, which opinion, if it has word which can
be used as an advertisement, he will find quoted
in all the newspapers.
He receives thick masses of manuscript, prose
and verse, which he is called upon to examine
and pronounce on their merits; these manu-
scripts having almost invariably been rejected
by the editors to whom they have been sent, and
having, as rule no literary value whatever.
He is expected to sign petitions. to contribute
to journals to write for fairs, to attend cele-
brations, to make after-dinner speeches, to send
money for objects he does not believe in places
he never heard of.
He is called on to keep up correspondence
with unknown admirers, who begin by saying
that they have no claim upon his time and then
appropriate it by writing page after page, il of
the male sex, and sheet after sheet, if Of the
other.
If poeJ, it is taken for granted that he can
sit down at any moment and spin off any num-
Der of verses on any subject which may be sug-
gested to him, such congratulations to the
writer's great grandmother on her reaching her
hnndredth year, an elegy on an infant aged six
weeks, an ode for the 4th, of July in Western
township not to oe found in Lppincotts last
edition, perhaps valentine for some bucolic
lover who believes that woong in rhyme is the
way to win the object of his affections.

The Bluebird.

Sometime in Heaven sojourned this bird
And there MERCHANT of the seraphs heard;
One note Of the theme it repeateth still
Cherish cherish, oh! cherish''-till
Quivers the song-swept blue above;
And earth lying drearnily under.
Thrills with delight and wonder
Cherish Love-"
Therefore the bloom to the apple-bough,
The flower to the wood knoll spfingeth now,
And leaf mist gathers in copse and glen.
Cherish cherish, oh! cherish, again
The flute.voice calls from the blue above.
How shall I dare gainsay itl
How do aught but obey it!
Cherish Love"
Not now can the seed be pent underground,
The bud in its winter sheath be bound,
Nor the spirit in me be chained and dark.
Cherish, cherish, oh! cherish"-hark
To the seraph- taught in the blue above!
But if the song should not reach thea
Who shall it be that will teach thee
Cherish Lover

An Asphalt Lake.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
In about the center of the island of Trinidad,
dot in the Caribbean sea, just off the coast Of
Venezuela, there is an asphalt lake. 1t is said
to cover about 100 acres and is apparently mex
haustibe. 1t is black, sandy, substance and
is believed to be crude, rotten petroleum. A
singular feature of the substance is that al
though about so, 900 tons are taken out of this
lake annually, it constantly fills up, 80 thai
there is no lessening of the supply. This singu-
lar lake of paving material is owned by the
Venezuelan government but leased to company
in Washington, of which man named A L.
Barber is president. They have a feet Of
schooners running to Trinidad. and. having
monopoly of the business, they import vas
quantities of the material.
