ArizOna's Natural Bridge.

1atural bridge, on Pine creek. in the
northern part of ella county, is one of the
greatest natural curiosities in the United
States, if not surprising, the natural
bridge of Virginia. 1t spans the creek at a
height of about 200 feet, and the walls of
the canyon rise above it on either side TOO
or 800 feet, and on one side form a per-
pendicular precipice.
The bridge is of lime formation, and the
inside of the great arch, which is some $50
feet across, is worn by the water as smooth
STONE mason: n arcn on rop IS nearly, II
MOI quite, 400 feet in width, 1000 feet in
length across the canyon, and at the thin
nest part only 6 feet through. About the
center of the arch is a hole large enough to
admit the body of the man, and through
which one can look down into the CRYSTAL
pool of water 200 feet below.
The dixie which forms The bridge extends
in a sweeping curve up the right side Of
the stream, and. together with the bridge
proper, affords q surface area of about 100
acres of fertile land, which David Gowan
has converted into q fine farm. A spring
at q hight to admit of the water being
easily conducted to any portion of the farm
and the volume is great enough to fill a
ditch four feet wide and two feet deep and
to irrigate much more land than is avail
able for cultivation.
The climate at the bridge is exceedingly
equable, being warmer In the summer and
much milder in the winter than that of the
surrounding country, and to this fact is
ascribed the wonderful variety of vegetable
growth, numbering some $50 species of
trees, shrubs, vines and plants. The vicin-
ity abounds IN numerous fossils and shells,
and wherever moisture percolates through
the calcareous rock beautiful staIactites
are formed. Underneath the bridge are
numerous caves, some of which have never
been explored, and which are lined with
these Opaque cones resembling huge
icicles.-B0ston Transcript.

STRANGE FANATICS.
The DoiDgs of the Penitent
49, in New MaYic0.

The Barbarous Doings of the Penitentes
jill New Mexico.
The penitentes, says the Las Vegas OPP
nc, seem to a new conner in the coantry to
be a strange order of superstitiohs fanat-
les, the Old fagellants Of the dark ages,
who have come down by some ecclesiasti-
cal IL gerdemain, landing in this corner of
the terrestrial footstool. Their perform
ances are "a touch Of baptized barbarism
clutching at the skirts of this nineteenth
century. The Lorribleness Of seeing
them at work Negotiating themselves
on Good Friday is akin. in the recollec:
ton to the heartrending means Of the
wounded and dying in a great calamity.
They compose o secret organization that is
fast dying out, and is not now sanctioned
by the dominant church, and the worst of
their doipgs are supposed to take place IN
their lodgerooms. They are seen to out
siders only when marching in procession,
carrying each a rough wooden cross, nearly
heavy enough to crush them under its
weight. Their backs are usually bare,
weighted down by their burdensome
load in body and their sins in mind.
their brethren beat them with clubs
and prick them with cati, till in
many instances, there isn't an inch of the
flesh that isn't torn and bleeding. Not in
frequently they die from the effects of the
terrible punishment inflicted. A dolefnl
chanting, in which they specify the partic.
ular sins they are trying to e1piate, is con-
tinually kept up. And yet this very class
is usually composed of the rabb!e element
Of the community. Often, when they get
through their p%enances, they go straight off
and get drunk and run up another score of
evil deeds lone in the body greater than the
last. They seem to hold implicitly to the be-
lief that every sin committed must be paid
for in suffering and the more pain one en-
dures here the less he will have hereafter.
These poor, deluded penitents ale not
attempting any moral improvements.
They are merely endeavoring to shorten
their stay in purgatory, and horrid work
they make of it. Anyone who was aver 30
unfortunate as to be locked into one of
their lodges must admit that a feeling of
uneasiness and uncertainty crept over him
while there. Perchance a dim light, as
the scene may be described, made awfully
indistinct and CHASTITY the rude form Of
Christ on the CROSS; the men stretched out
full length on the ground, more like
corpses than living beings, and the

walls and howls were indescribably terri
