have wrought In such an ascent one must be very careful to avoid rattle snakes. It often happens, not only on this mountain, but in hundreds of others in Arizona, that the explorer must walk on the edge of some cliff or narrow ledge, must sometimes stoop down and creep on account of over- hanging boulders where but an out ward movement would precipitate him upon the jagged rocks below. While thus imprisoned--a mountain wall on one hand, dizzy depth on the other, a narrow ledge on which to creep one must pass undaunted, myriads of crevasses and openings, some of which may contain rattlesnakes of the most venomous kind-and the explorer en- tirely at their mercyl The writer has been attacked by rattlesnakes in nearly similar positions, but has escaped by hairs breadth from the double dan ger.
 After few falls and bruises from rolling stones, few scares from frightened hawks and owls that fran tically escape from their holes, and few painful string from the barbs of the ever-present cacti, we count our selves lucky at having gained the sum- init so easily. The beautiful vista that meets our eyes, and the exhilar- ating effect of the fresh breezes at once banish all memories of our past troubles. When we have gazed to our hearts content at the scene before us-the verdant winding valley of the Gila river, the distant city of Florence clothed in beautiful green, and the far away hay mountains of grotes que shapes and forms that bound the horizon-then we turn to examine our immediate surroundings.
 A circular, almost level, depression on the summit, of perhaps twenty feet in circumference, is strewn with ashes and charred remains of ancient camp fires. Evidently the use of this site was long in the past, to which, per hcps for thousands of years. the tribes

The Samon Hnrricnne.

A copyrighted dispatch to the New
York Associated Press. dated Apia,
March 80, and San Francisco. April 10,
gives a lengthy account of the damages
inflicted by the recent hurricane. The
following are extracts from the report:
The United States and Germany have
lost nearly $50 lives and SO, OO0, 900 worth
of property. The most violent and de-
structive hurricane ever known in the
South Pacific passed over these islands on
the 10th and 18th of March, and as a re-
suit the feet of six war ships and ten
other vessels we're ground to atoms on the
coral reefs of the harbor or thrown on the
beach in front Of Apia. The United
States frigate Trenton, flagship of the
Pacific squadron, lies within a stones
throw of the American consulate, a total
wreck. The great hull OF the magnificent
vessel which steamed into the harbor a
few weeks ago, rests on the bottom, fast
going to pieces.
The United States steamer Nandalia is
buried out of sight between the Trenton
and the shore. Her shattered foremost
and smokestack rise from the water TO
mark the spot where the gallant vessel
struck and lay for twelve hours before the
awful torrent of water swept four officers
and thirty nine men from the deck and
rigging. The United States steamer Nip
sic lay for several days alongside the Van
dalia with her bow high on the beach and
within five feet of the waters edge.
This vessel. though badly damaged, was
hauled off a few days after the storm, and
is tie only war ship afloat in the harbor.
The three American men-of-war were
swept ashore almost at the same spot.
The force of the storm was never equalled
in this part OF the world before. Hun
dreds of people stood on the beach and
watched the awful spectacle in the bar
Dor. The vessels all had a full head of
steam, and three or four anchors out;
yards and topmasts were down and every
%precaution was taken to insure the safety
of the ships; but the wind constantly
shifted from northeast to northwest,
and the force was SO great that
the vessels dragged their anchors all
over the harbOr. drifting from one side to
another, and coming into collision several
times. Tremendous seas broke over them,
and torrents of water rushed down the
hatchways and put out The fires.

Marriage for a Ounrter.

A story is told about a minister's
marriage fee that causes amusement
among the clergy. He was paid 81 for
marrying n couple. After they de-
parted he was about to hand the money
to his wife when the door bell was
rung. The newly married wife said
she wanted e certificate. No marriage
was good without one. 1t cost TWEEN
ty-five cents for n blank that would
suit her. The reverend gentleman
filled the blank out in the usual form,
and she went away seemingly salts
fed.
A few days later she again appeared
at the door. mister" said the wo-
man, in an aggrieved tone, Il looked
through the papers and can't find a
notice of u wedding. You ought
not to treat us different from other
folks" So the dominic went to q news
paper Office and paid fifty cents to
have a notice inserted. When he
reached home he handed the remain
ing twenty-five cents to his wife with
the remark: Here, my dear, hurry
up and take this before that woman
makes another call."-Kingston Free
