w. T. Hart, land am one of the few men
who ever attempted the descent. went
there To examine mine said to exist in
the bottom of the canyon. ! have been all
through the Rockies, from Montana to
Central America, and know what chasm
is, but tho sight of that abyss took my
breath away. From the top 10 the bottom
IL is full 5000 feet over n mile below you
can see the river tearing through the gorge,
but not a sound can be heard, IL is so far
away. From one bank 10 the other il is
apparently not over quarter of u mile,
but as matter Of fact II is fully nineteen
miles. My guide told me would never
ho nhlc to reach the bottom, but was
determined to go and | went. II was
a terrible linb, and II took us eight hours
to reach tho bottom. 1t is certainly the
most desolato place in the world. There is
not a living thing down there-no insects,
reptiles, or animals of any kind. Every
thing is absolutely dead. The mining
prospect was worthless. Before tho sun
was up the next morning we We're on our
| way out, and took us until 10 o'clock that
night To climb the wall of the canyon -

ARRESTED WITHOUT CAUSE.

u
then Releases Him.
Last evening it was noticed that
Herman Elliott, German Hebrew,
license. An investigation shows that the
whole affair was an outrage, perpetrated
by an officer who Mt the time WAS not in q
fit condition TO discharge his duties
The man who was arrested came from
Philadelphia on Tuesday evening and had
stopped over night with a friend on Middle
street. Yesterday morning he started to
walk out the Philadelphia turnpike, having
bundle filled with tinware on his back.
Just beyond the street car station he was
approached by Constable Jacob c. Shaub
of the Third ward, who asked him ii he
had any tincups. Elliott replied that he
had, and placed his basket on the fence.
Shaub then told him he was constable
and that he would have to go along with
him.
Elliott was brought To this city and
lodged in the station house about / o clock.
Here Shaub recorded the arrest as having
been made on a warrant issued by Alder
man A. +. Donnelly. A reporter called
upon that alderman yesterday afternoon
The alderman said he had no knowledge
whatever of the affair. further than he had
heard from outside sources.
Shaub was then sought, but could not b,
found. Search was continued this morn.
ing, and Sbaub, being seen, said that
the prisoner had been heard aud
discharged by the alderman. Another
call was made upon the alder
man, and he declared the statement made
by Shaub was wholly false. Returning to
the station house the reporter was informed
that Shaub ordered the prisoners release.
In this the constable acknowledges he had
found him TO be arrested without cause.
There is, therefore, nothing to hold him"
The prisoner, who is a one-eycd man,
acknowledges that he had no license, but at
the same time said he had not offered any
thing for sale.

The Art of Eating Watermelon

From the Baltimore American.
Eating watermelon is an art, learned
only by experience. Asa dessert it is not
n success IL falls too heavily on a dinner
Like pretty girl, II is best by itself, il
loses half it's charm by being mixed in Il
crowd. The melon should he cold. 1t
should be ripe. Its flesh should blush like
graduate, Its heart should glow like a
sun-kissed cloud at close of day, and its
temperature should be as chilly as the
smile of Boston belle. When YOU get
such u treasure do not bother with other
food. Open IT, gaze on IT, bury your face

In after days Bessie's life was truly hap

assurance of her husbands love, he gave
them to her.
And once, in after years, when a young

wife was, William said, in a manner and
tone that made a deep impression: MY

you have said to me. Tell her SO often,

a balm to retain forever her beauty.
There is no cosmetic like it. And, in the

which viii still be to you the loyliest on

WASH TIE prsn.eLorn.

Now that diseases are known to be
caused by germs, one is on the lookout for
death in almost anything. Even a dish
cloth may generate the germs that cause
sickness and death. Ii it IS black and
stiA and sour, throw it into the FIRE. Keep
your dish-eioth clean if you have TO eat
without.a table-cloth, do without curtains
10 your windows, and cake for your tea,
and have to let year face dry after wash
ing it. Let the weeds grow in the gardens,
let tile holes in the heels Of your husbands
or chiidren's hose go u~ndarned, let the
shoes go without backing for Sunday, if
necessary; bat do not neglect to wash the
d~ish-cloth.
A tidy ho~nse-keeper writes: Il have
smelied a whole hoeseful Of typhoid fever

once-clever, good sort of folks. One

and called the daughter to get me a dish
cloth. She locked around on the table.
Why said she, there were about a dozen
here this morning. She looked in the
wcod-box, on the rnantel-pieee, and felt in
Tie cupboard. Well, I said. i saw some
old, black, rotten rags lying around, and |
burned them. for there is death in such
dish-clo.hs, and yea must never use such
again. took turns in nursing the family
