How She Won Him.
SAVING A SOLDIERS LIFE AND FINDING A
HUSBAND.

Congressman Stone Of Kentucky. who
walks about the house and down the ave-
nue. on crutches, having lost leg in the
confederate service, is expecting MS "i1e
to arrive shortly from her Kentucky
home. writes correspondent OF the Cln-
cinnati Times-Star. The story OF Stones
marriage is strange and interesting one,
and proves again that there are interesting
incidents in real life as are told in story
books. Stone was confederate soldier,
and at the battle of Cynthianna, KY was
badly wounded As he fell his hat went
one way and his musket another, and he
found himself unable to regain either. 1t
was scorching summer dav, and he was
Obliged to lie on the hot hill exposed to
the intense heat of the blazing sun, unable
even to protect his face except by throw
ing his arm across his eyes. His life
blood was rapidly running. away, and he
became weaker and soon was unable to
speak or move. The blazing sun which
fell on his head and face was adding un-
told suffering to his enfeebled condition
After the fight he was left with the dead
and dying, for it was supposed that he
could not live more than few minutes
or hours After the troops had Withdrawn.
some of the people living in the vicinity OF
the battlefield, passed over it, relieving
the necessities of the wounded as far as
possible. As they passed near where
Stone Law in the hot sun, unable to speak,
young lady in the party noticed him. and
the sufferings the sun must produce if he
were still conscious. Telling her compan-
ion she believed he was alive, she pro-
cured the ramrods from four muskets "
ing near by, and by sticking them in the
ground about his head. fastened over the
top scarf from her shoulders to break
the rays of the sun. When the wounded
were gathered from the field, it was found
that Stone was still living, and he was
sent to the hospital. There was long
struggle between life and death. but he
finally rallied, and slowly regained
strength after the amputation of his ri ght
leg. The residents OF the town and vicin-
ity did all they could for the sufferers in
the hospital, sending them food and deli
cacies, and often visiting them. One day.
after he had gained sufficient strength to
speak and notice those who visited the
hospital, he saw among the visitors the
young lady who had probably saved his
lite by her kindness, when he lay helpless
and speechless on the battlefield When
opportunity offered he spoke to her of the
occurrence, and thanked her for her kind
ness. The acquaintance thus began, rip
ened into love, and now she is his wife.

Nevada's Great Salt Bed.

In Lincoln county. on the Rio Virgin,
is one of the most remarkable deposits of
rock salt on the continent. 1t is found in
hills 500 feet above the level of the val
ley, and chemically pure. Blocks of it
over a foot square are so transparent that
one may read a paper through them. So
solid is this salt that it must be blasted
out the same as if it were rock. This de-
post of salt lies about three quarters of
mile west of the Rio Virgin and three
miles south of the Mormon village OF ST.
Thomas. There body of this salt is ex-
posed for length of nearly two miles,
which is about half mile wide and OF
unknown depth. The deposit runs north
and south, and is seen on the surface for
a distance of over nine miles. In places
the canyons have cut through it to depth
of sixty feet. At these points the Hike
company formerly blasted out the salt re-
quired in working their ores. This great
deposit of salt is situated at an altitude of
100 feet above the level of the sea. 1t
is undoubtedly very ancient, as in one
place it has been covered by flow of
basaltic rock. In other places it is covered
to depth of from one to five feet with
volcanic trita. AT Sand Springs, in
Churchill county. besides the salt
that may be shovelled up from
the surface, there is found deposit of
rock salt fourteen feet in depth. This salt
is AS transparent as the clearest ice, and
does not contain particle of any foreign
or deleterious substance. II may be
quarred the same rs II II were marble
1t is said that onT man can quarry and
wheel out five tona day of this salt 1t
Is only necessary to grind it to render it
fit for dairy or table use. Sixty or seven
ty miles north OF this. at the eastern base
of the Dun Glen range of mountains. is
the great Humboldt salt field. This is
about fifteen miles long and six wide.
In the summer when the surface water
has evaporated, salt to the depth of three
or four inches can be scraped up from the
surface. Beneath the surface is stratum
of pure rock salt of unknown depth.
This rock salt is so hard that in order to
get it out rapidly it is necessary to blast
it. Were branch railroad to run one of
these deposits, salt would soon be a cheap
article in the United States AS there are
in the same localities great quantities of
soda, borax and other valuable minerals,
it is probable that the day is not far dis
tant when some of them will be tapped
by branch railroads which could be cheap
ly laid down through the level districts.
