PABEN ISLAND, Patagonia, Dec. l, 1871
Especial correspondence of THE SUNDAY
HERALD. The time had come to bid q not
reluctant adios to this wild abode, the
crazy little yacht which the good mission
Padres of TERRA del Fuego had sent to con-
vey US to their station lay tumbling about
in the harbor, our luggage reduced by long
globe-trotting TO a surprisingly small com
pass, waited at the landing, and farewells
were actually being spoken, when Roman
rushed in, with the information that a
large p of Indians had collected on
the other side of the ford and wanted to
come over for purposes of barter. This
circumstance, though not unusual here,
materially altered our view of the case, and
we were easily persuaded to remain an
other day in order to cultivate closer ac-
ouaintance with the Patagonians.
Boats were Immediately dispatched to
fetch as many of them as desired to trade,
and a dozen or more of the young braves
came over, bringing a few punches of gray
ostrich feathers and a heap Of furs and
skins, to exchange at the store" for rum
and tobacco. AS negotiations promised to
be a tedious job lin fact were not accom-
pllshed for several hours, because without
baggling the desired luXuries would lose
half their SAVIOR, we took our hostess ad-
vice and som field glasses and repaired to
tie house-top, to view proceedings on
shore.
The Indians had selected a level spot a
few yards inland, where shrubs and oould-
ers formed a partial wind-break, near the
mouth of a narrow canon where their
horses found plenty of grass and water
and while the

most erudite of popes-too learned
not to have had dealings with the
devil-was beginning to raise the
papacy out of the abyss Of infamy into
which the preceding age had seen it
sink, and so to prepare the way for the
far-reaching reforms OF Hildebrand.
The boundaries of christendOn were
as yet narrow and insecure. With the
overthrow of Olaf Tryggvesson in this
year 1000. and the temporary partition
of Norway between Swedes and Danes
the work of Outstanding tho north
seemed for the moment to languish.
Upon the eastern frontier the wild
Hungarians had scarcely ceased to be
a terror to Europe, and in this year
Stephen, their first Christian king, be-
gan to reign. At the same time the
power OF heretical Bulgaria. which
had threatened to overwhelm the East
ern empire, was broken down by the
sturdy blows of the Macedonian en-
peror. Basil. In this year the Christ
ians of Spain met woful defeat at TIC
hands OF Almansor, and there seemed
no reason why the Mussulman rule
over the greater part of that peninsula
should not endure forever.
Thus, from end to end, Europe was
a scene of direst confusion; and though,
as we now look back upon it. the time
seems by no means devoid of promise.
there was no such cheering outlook
then. Nowhere were the outlines oil
kingdoms or the ownership Of crowns
definitely settled. Private war was
both incessant and universal. The
truce of God had not yet been pro.

their hardships were well nigh incred.

cry, at the close of the 10OOth year
from the birth of Christ, the belief
was quite common throughout Europe
that the day Of judgment was at hand
for world grown old in wickedness
and ripe for its doom.

TALE OF A SIBERIAN EXILE.

Escape After Twenty Eight Years Of Life
in the snowy Wilderness
Tho narrowing descriptions Of the
sad state Of the prisoners in Siberia
given by Mr.. KEENAN,. says Berlin
letter. are amply confirmed by Rus
sian named Jacob Koton. who has es-
capped from Siberia and is now in
Breslau. The substance OF his story is
as follows: He was the son of we'll.
TODD miller in Russian Poland. In
the year 1868 Koton. then nineteen
years OF age. took part in the Polish
instruction, and in a skirmish near
his native place he received severe
gunshot wound il the left foot and was
taken prisoner by the Russians. He
was thereupon transported to wilma
and condemned by General Muravieh
to exile for life in Siberia. At Tomsk
he joined a gang Of exiles and marched
on foot for nearly eight months through
the endless steppes via Krasnoyarsk.
Irkutsk and Jakutsk to Tarbogotai. a
small settlement, culuss, as it is called
in Russian.
Here the exile remained, and WA
obliged to get his living by hunting.
But he soon became homesick in this
fearful wilderness the climate Of
which was killing him; and defying
all dangers he made an attempt tc
escape, but was seized at Tomsk and
sentenced to three months arrest in a
fortress. A second attempt brought
him to Moscow. third to Grodno
Six months and finally years i'm.

ishments, and each time he was trans.
ported back to Tarbogotai. Koton now
at least for q time-gave up all
further attempts at escape. and worked
hard to save . sum OF money in order
then to try his luck again. In the
spring OF the year 1883 the exile had
saved about 4. 600 rubles. the fruit OF
his twenty-five years. work a. q

escaping.
