Travelled about 8 562 miles at an average rate
of over thirty miles day. One hundred and
thirty-one days in all were consumed in the
journey, but after deducting thirteen days
resting at various points the aggregate trav-
cling time will be found to be 11S days. For
twenty-four miles after leaving New York
they rode on pavements. At Newark, N. j.,
they struck the first earth road, and followed
the country roads from there to Hannibal,
Mo. Then they followed the railroad line of
the Wabash to Kansas City. The Kansas
Pacific showed them the way to Denver.
Then they crossed the country to Salt Lake.
From Salt Lake they followed the line of the
Union Pacific to Ogden, and on to San Fran
cisco by the Central Pacific.

The only accident Of note occurred in Utah
when one of the horses foundered six miles
from water. With much trouble and loss of
time they reached a spring with the jaded
beast and passed the night there. The next
day they made up the lost time by covering
sixty miles, reaching Heber City in the even
ing.
Whenever one of the horses would get sore
or give out they bought a new one and led
the sick one until it was fit to ride again.
The original horses were mustangs from
Montana and cost in New York 500 each.
When they arrived in San Francisco, after
having travelled three-quarters of the way,
they were in as good condition as at the

hymns. Instantly she forgot her jeal-

singing, and sat listening to it with a
rapt face; the balloons, too, crowded in
at the entrance of the cave to listen. I
must have sung for an hour or more, all
the hymns that I could remember. 1t

your elephant gun, and I think it was
the sweetest sound that ever came to my
ears. Hendrika heard it, too. She
sprang up, stood for moment, then, to
my horror, swept Tota into her arms and
rushed down the cave. Of course,

amount, with promise on the part of
the committee to consider at some
later time the independent measure
introduced by Senator Davis and passed

deemed best to put an approximation
in the general bill that the work nov
begun may be continued. Nearly
every section on the great lakes has
been considered. and the Northwest
will fare as usual in the river and har-
Dor bill. The following is one of the
provisions which has been included in
the river and haGbor bill:
