A curious coincidence js related by
Judge V. d. Lambert 10 the Walla
Walla Statesman. In 1852 Mrs. Lam
bert and son George departed from Lon
don, England, for America. The voy-
age in those days was q long and tedious
one, and nearly all on the ship became
intimately acquainted. Among the
friends made by Mrs. Lambert was
young married lady and her little
daughter. with whom many pleasant
hours were spent on deck. After reach
ing San Francisco the friends parted.
each going in different directions and
hardly expecting to meet again. ON
Sunday last q camping party was held
In the mountains above Walla
Walla, there being quite number of
ladies and gentlemen present from
Walla Walla and surrounding neighbor-
hood. Mrs. Lambert was present and
during the day overheard ono of her
lady acquaintances speak OF coming
over from England'in 1882 in the same
vessel as mentioned above. Mutual In
quiries were made, and strange to relate,
Mrs. Lambert disco cred that the lady
was the daughter of her old friend of
the ocean voyage, well known in Wnlla
Wala as Mrs. Pape. She has been mar
ried twice and has eleven children. The
mother Is still living. Great changes
occur in thirty eight years.

Gently encountered n rough experience.
Having with difficulty crossed a ioam-
churnod mountain torrent on q suspiC-
ious looking aud slippery jam oil logs
he struck an Indian trail. Following its
gag curyatures for "a mile he came to
the abrupt face OF a steep mountain
side, up which the trail seemed to go
like climbing up stairs. On tree close
to the trail was inscribed with blue pen
Gil the following lines:
fmEsDLY wARSISG TO PILGRIMS.
Turn back turn back bold pilgrim,
Turn back, unwary stranger,
There's nothing up the golden stairs
But trouble, toll and danger.
Evil spirits and the glaciers
Go hand in hand up there,
And caverns deep on the mountain
stoep,
Is tho home of the grizzly bear.
Want of space prevents our telling
OF dangers you'll surely meet,
If on those rugged mountains
You place your
-TENDERFEET.
Assured that white men had assembled
tho hill before, he preceded and actual
ly met two grizzlies the first day. He
finally reached a prospectors camp and
received such welcome as only brave
mine hunters know now to extend to
courageous brethren of the craft. That
country is rich in galena, carrying con-
siderable gold, and the mineral Is esti-
mated to be worth 800 per ton. 1t can
be made easy of access by cutting trail
up the creek.

Walla journal, tho air about South Sec
ond street was full of little boys and
horse hair. At 10 A. Nj. aud p. NJ.
the procession started. Every kid with.
in mile and quarter of Smith Hen
derson's residence was on hand to take
hold of the great work before them.
The parade was headed by bareback
rider on black Arabian stallion. Next
came Queen Ann on mule, dressed up
in an oriental costume, consisting of n
few yards of yellow mosquito bar and
two bit straw hat, the size of buffalo
chip. Then came another bareback
rider, also on u mule, with blind bridle
and his tail trimmed down TO the
size of paint brush. Tho lies
being bad 1t was hard work for tho boy
to keep the mule in the ranks. Next
came u chariot, drawn by an educated
dog, the clown driving. On tho way,
the poor dog came very near getting in
to fight with NANCY cur on Alder
street, but some bystnnders interlered
and the procession moved on. After
this came the menagerle, consisting OF
two young pigeons, an educated rooster
and Widow Masterson's tom cat, fol-
lowed by Swiss bell ringer, leading a
little Jersey COW. Then came another
mule with boy dressed up as an Arab,
and behind it all marched the ice cream
man with his little cart, who un-
consciously brought up the rear. The
procession got us far as Alder street.
Here, some one told the ring
master, that If they went up Main street
they would all be arrested. Then their
courage gave out, and they returned to
the circus grounds, greatly disheartened.
The mask on the clown had melted and
hung down like dishrag. Big beads o
perspiration the size of gum drops
oozed from every pore OF the little iel-
lows, and they were almost ready to
give up the evening performance, and
let 1t urop into the soup, but when they
saw how kindly Mr.. Park Wiuans and
Mr.. Smith Henderson had pitched for
them an extra tent, 1t was
decided to get a lemon, make u
whole bucket full of lemonade and let
the circus go on. BY 8 o'clock they
brought out a stable lantern lit, rushed
out the mules, rode around the ring and
then the circus was in full blast. A
large audience had gathered to witness
the performance, but at the second
round one of the mules took notion TO
roll and he did roll, and mule and rider
landed in Charlie Chabot's irrigating
ditch. This accident threw cold water
on the entire evenings entertainment,
although nothing happened TO the boy.
nor the mule, but it broke up the circus
