GRAND SIGHTS.
Picturesque and Impressive Scenes in the
Rocky Mountains.

picturesque and impressive Scenes IN the
Rocky Mountains.
On descending the range into the
lovely San Luis Park, the most SOUTH
ern of the four great parks of Colorado
North, Middle, South and San Luis
we pass along the flank, almost, of Sierra
Blanca, the highest mountain in Colo
RADIO, which boasts forty different peaks
OF IA, 900 feet altitude and over. Blanca
exceeds them all, however, by few
feet Pixies Peak is one of the forty,
but is over-topped by several beside
Blanca. The view of the last-named
mountain is much finer, however, from
the farther side of the park, which is
here about forty miles wide by seventy
five in length. In looking back at it
the eye takes in all of its grand proper
tions, and when its cap of perpetual
snow, which gives it the name of
'White Mountain" is lighted by the
setting sun, it is indescribably glorious
in its varying tints of pearl and anne
thyst and pink, deepening into crimson
and purple as the shadows lengthen.
On the west side of the park we begin
climbing the Comejos range, making
Roadway slowly in our ascent for many
miles. as would seem from our zigzag
course. We look back from a slight
elevation at the route Just traversed,
and it looks like whip-lash Just after
it has been cracked. Indeed, it is called
''the whip-lash. A little farther on
we pass the same station-house three
times, once on a lower level and twice
on higher, circling aroundit from the
first to the second level
On the way to Leadville, one passes
through the "Grand Canyon" of the
Arkansas, which begins above Canyon
City and extends for distance of
twenty miles, if one count both the
canyon proper and the gorge beyond,
which is almost as narrow. For six or
seven miles the train seems to be sweep
ing through rift in the surface of the
earth, very narrow, tortuous rift at
that, from which one looks up at the
ribbon of the blue sky above, between
bare and rugged rocks rising abruptly
for distance of over two thousand
feet on either side, with less abrupt
mountain walls beyond, towering to
height of three or four thousand feet.
A narrow shelf beside the rushing tor
rent, blasted for almost the entire dis
lance from the rocky walls, sometimes
forming corridor, as it were, with the
rocks overhanging, serves as a road
bed. Men had to be let down by ropes
from above in many places to drill the
holes for the blasting powder, during
the construction of the road, there
being no foothold at all and no possible
way of descending. Where no human
being had ever trod few years back,
the adventurous railroad now bears its
hundreds daily. In one spot the wall
is so precipitous that the whole noun
tain side would have had to be blasted
away in order to make passage. Here
instead longitudinal iron bridge is
swung from iron trusses anchored in
the rocks above on either side of the
stream. 1t is difficult to imagine a
person so stolid that his heart would
not be stirred with awe in traversing
this mighty chasm. = Cor. Rochester

COTTAGE DECORATION.

How Broken Crockery and China-Ware
Can ise Utilized to Advantage.
There is not a cottage or any other
dwelling in which mosaic floors might
not be laid, or in which some of the
walls could not be set to advantage
with such work. 1t is not only orna
mental, but it is easily washed, and
therefore conducive to cleanliness and
health. A very large proportion OF
wall paper is pasted directly over an
old paper, and even when it is torn
away too much. generally remains.
have learned by inquiry of several in.
stances in which persons have been
either directly poisoned by the pigments
employed in coloring such paper, or in
which malaria and death were induced
by one coat decaying over another in a
damp room. Nothing of the kind can,
however, take place when walls are
covered with mosaic or tiles, or are
stenciled. Mosaic work can be execu-
ted wherever stone, Portland cement
and broken crockery can be obtained.
1t is to be observed that broken fictile
ware has several very great advantages
over any other material. In the first
place it costs nothing and may be
found in every rubbish heap, as well as
more is the pity-in most kitchens.
1t is more easily broken into pieces OF
any requisite size than stone, or even
ceramic cubes. 1t has strong glaze,
and generally wears as well as the very
expensive material of baked clay sold
for such work. And finally, it is in an
infinite number of shades and tones, so
that for really varied picture-making it
offers the greatest inducement to the
artist For crockery or china ranges
from Sevres to the rudest terra Gotta,
from saucers like pearl and marble to
slag-glass which can not be dis
tinguished from agate. There is abso-
lutely no material for decorative art
work of any kind which offers such a
vast variety of hues and shades and
materials as crockery mosaic. may
add to this that a very curious and
beautiful variety of mosaic work for
walls may be made by setting broken
glass, and especially glass or china
beads, in cement.
The glittering points which they pre-
sent catch the light and render the
work very effective. l have heard this,
as well as crockery mosaic, objected to
as trashy" and SO it is when the
artist who makes it is not capable of
making anything but trash. But one
who possesses skill or genius does not
depend on mere material. | have seen
such mosaic which was so far from
being trashy that it was truly beauti-
full. And | venture to predict that we
are not far from the time when all
the broken crockery or chinaware
will be utilized. 1t is certain in
the interest of all housekeepers to en-
courage an art which will recoup them
for their losses by breakage. l once
lived in a hotel in America in which
the breakage for a single month
amounted to three hundred pounds

Result In san Bermardtno.

The Courier of yesterday says: The State
election at this writing seems to have gone
to the Democrats. Perhaps the wish is pro-
ductive of the assertion; though. so Ter
there are not returns decisive enough at
hand to speak confidently. The Courier
has no desire to make blind assertions
which the light from the next electric fash
may refute. Swift apparently has small
majority outside of San Francisco. Out of
the first ten thousand votes polled in the
city Bartlett had majority of eight hun,
dred, which in a continued ratio would give
him plurality Of from three 10 four
thousand in the city. and heavy mar
gin TO rest upon, 1t must be confessed, be-
cause later returns NAV increase Swiit's
majorities or pluralities in the interior.
Again, they may roll up heavier returns
for Bartlett, which Is to us most probable
We take 1t that the other candidates on the
ticket will in the main poll vote about
equal to Bartlett's. Tarpey seems keeping
well in front, and so does Mr.. Waters for

tween the members of the Aid Committee
of the Philadelphia Manufacturers Asso-

the knights of Labor, by which the Frank

the strikers at Troth's Mill, with the excep-
ton of the one relating to the question of

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, November 4.-The re-
turns all day have been generally favorable
to the Democrats. and the most sanguine
Republicans are not now claiming the cleo
tion OF Mccall as Governor, by more than
5000, while the Democrats are elated and
confident that DR.. Ames will be elected by a
small majority. The returns are coming
slowly. In Hennepin county, the home Of
DR.. Ames, 1900 ballots for him were thrown
out because the words Labor Ticket" were
printed thereon, offsetting the Republican
claim of extensive Democratic frauds in
this, Ramsey county. Whether Mccall is
elected or not the Republican State ticket
as a whole is certainly elected, as he ran
about IL, 600 behind the other candidates for
State offices. The Minnesota Legislature has
$50 bers, viz +: At Senators, and l0S Rep
resentatives In the last Senate there were
Sc Republicans and IL Democrats. In

1t is impossible to give reliable figures IN
computing the next Legislature, but esti-
mates now give the Senate 40 Republicans
and Is Democrats, and the House 70 Repub,
licans and 25 Democrats and the farmers
alliance, which would give the Republicans
a majority of 20 on joint ballot

Logan Logic.

CHICAGO. November 4.-The Inter-Ocean
will publish the following tomorrow: GEN
eral Logan was chatting with number of
friends at the Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday,
and, in response to inquiries. expressed
himself on the results OF the elections. In
his opinion it was becoming just about as
important to elect good mayors for great
cities as it was to elect good governors for
states. Indeed, In many instances, the
mayor of a great city was called on to exer-
else much more judgment and nerve than a
governor. Frequent riots, mutterings of So
cialism and anarchy, all these were but ar
guments for good, strong mayors, and may
ors who we've not only amenabe to them
selves but to strong united party for all OF
their conduct. The Republicans to day
occupied in every respect the strongest
possible position, and If 1t only stands firm
and does not waver from its established
line of principles, the future years will
bring to 1t many more grand victories.
Above all things the Republican party
wants to steer clear of all the "Isms" and
fool theories that are s1oat. To stop to in.
ject socialist ideas into its platform to
pander to any element, however strong II
NAV annear on the fall returns, which does
not regard the sacre6nts of lie, liberty
and property, to abandon a single one Of
the principles OF the Republican party
would be to commit a great mistake Let
the Democratic party pander to all low
elements and socislistic ideas, but let Re-
publicans stand firm on their own plat
form.

WASHINGTON, November 4.-Edward Nc
Pherson, Secretary of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, makes the following
computation from returns receiv ed up to
9o'clock this evening as to the political
complexion of the House of Repres enta-
tives of the Fiftieth Congress. Returns as
far as received indicate the election of l54
Republicans, 15e Democrats, 5 Labor and
Independent, doubtful. vacancy-325.
The doubtful are one in Illinois (Lands).
one in Kertucky (Carlisle), one in Obi o
(Oampbell), and three in Missouri (Cloody,
Grover and Mansur). The Labor and Inde
pendents are one in Florida (Pendleton),
one in Indiana Rush), one in Iowa lander
sony, one in Virginia (Hcpins), and one in
Wisconsin (Snith). If the Democrats get
four OF the doubtful they will have 1863, or a
majority of the House. Mcpherson SAYS
the attitude of the Democracy toward the
present administration Is similar to that of
the Republicans toward the administration
of President Hayes, and that many dissatis-
fed Democrats voted the Labor ticket.
Labor, he thinks, will be an organized
factor in the political contests of the future,
and Labor votes will be taken into serious
consideration.
Mr.. Phil Thompson, Secretary of the
Democratic Committee, says the Democrats
will have a good working majority in the
House.

reamster Killed.

We have received the following informa-
ton from ]. w. ). Perry, superintendent for
VIM. T. Coleman & Co., OF the killing OF n
team ster named b. NJ. Bryson by Sterling
Wassam, his swamper, at Saratoga Springs,
near Death valley. 'rhe account was re-
lated to party in Mojave by Wassam, the
former repeating the report to Mr.. Perry by
communication.
Bryson were camped at Saratoga Springs
and were getting breakfast, the latter drew
a knife on the former and attempted to kill
him, but the swamper in sslf-defense struck
his assailant over the head with shovel,
for the assault on Wassam with the knife
by Bryson. Wassam attempted to drive
the team, one of Coleman Co.'s,
to Mojave, but after proceeding about
a quarter OF a mile ne overturned
breaking OF both bones OF one o, Wassams
legs below the knee. He then took one of
the animals and rode until $50 P. NJ, when
he fell in with one OF the incoming teams
to the men in charge of the team as clearly
as he could considering the distressed con-
dition he was in from the long hours OF
acute suffering he endured riding without
food and water over the arid desert.
whether Wassam committed a deliberate
murder or homicide in selfdefense, de-
pends upon the reliability OF his own story.
That the matter will be Investigated by a
coroDfrs inquest Is quite improbable.
The County Coroner gets a fixed salary, and
Judging from the custom OF that Official in
the past, he will not incur any expense be-
yond that required for inquests held within

Several inquests have been held on
the desert By justices of the peace, and
the result has always been an extra private
expense to these officials who declare they
will hold no more inQuests on similar con
ditions. This state OF affairs is most repre-.
