a Dandy crossing, where the country

Thence through TO Lee ferry, $50 miles,

clfs parallel the river. The back country
and bottom land are placer grounds, where
there is gold-bearing gravel, tests of which
are said to be very satisfactory, but the
beds cannot be worked probably, being at
such an altitude from the Colorado that il
is next 10 impossible TO get sufficient water
10 them. The gold is in very minute parti-
cles and difficult to save, and so, until some
process is invented TO get the
metal without washing, it is feared
these mines of wealth must remain
undeveloped. So say Messrs. Rislop and
Mccormick; but it is learned from we'll

brothers at Dandy crossing. Tickaboo and

Prospect.
At Lees ferry our explorers abandoned
the river, and, purchasing horses and sad
dies, proceeded into the KaiDab or Buck
skin mountains. The break in this range
forms the deepest part of the Grand canon
of the Colorado-the sublimest scenery on
the face of the earth, and of which no pen
or brush of man ever has done or ever will
do the faintest part of justice. Biologists
claim that an immense section of country
practically the whole of Utah, western
Colorado and northern Arizona-was once
a'yast inland sea, of which our great Salt
lake was portion, and that its upheayal
threw volumes of water upon the
rocks with such mighty force as
to wear channels through them.

Romance OF the Rocks - Shooting the
Rapids.

Romance OF the Rocks - Shooting the
Rapids.
Cataract canon, which is forty-one miles
long, begins about five miles below the
head of Colorado river. Here the geolog-
ical formation changes, the walls being set
back from the river a short distance, and
the rocks constantly crumbling aud rolling
down to the river, making talus at the
foot of each cliif. 1t is these heaps of stone
fragments that make the stream q cataract,
for with its marked descent it here flows
with a swifsness of twelve to twenty miles
an hour aud gives to the canon its romantic
and appropriate name. Nothing could be
more awe-inspiring than when some i'm
mense crag, Ioosened from its lofty
anchorage by the mould of time or razure
OF the elements, crashes down the mount
ain side with thunderous propulsion, leav-
ing behind a momentary track of fire and
going TO pieces on the rugged rocks below.
Such terrifying spectacle Our explorers
more than once beheld.

"Bringinr Fatber,s Dinner. >,

It was in the c., a. and d. depot in
Cincinnati one day when one of the men
employed to oil the cars as they came in
accidentally fell under the wheels of a
moving coach and had his right leg and
hip crushed in horrible manner. He
was picked up and laid on some coats
spread on the platform, and doctor

examined him he cooIly asked:

Treatment of BoiIsu

The treatment of boils should be, in
the first place, constitutional, aiming to
restore the vigor of the system. The
diet should be generous, without excess,
and easily digestible. The patient, while
avoiding exhaustion, should take proper
amount of exercise, have an abundance
of pure air and wash his body daily with
cool water and soap.
Local treatment also is needed. To
arrest the progress of boil at its early
stage Sir Erasmus Wilson advises the
application of solution of sugar of lead
every six or twelve hours with camel's
hair brush. If this fails he would pro-
mote suppuration by spreading on it a
wash leather plaster of galbanum and
opium, cut in the middle for the escape
of the pus
If the pain continues to increase he
would apply soothing applications. When
the boil begins to heal he would keep the
skin around it dry, clean it with tar
soap and smear it with yellow rosin ONT
ment, dressing the broken surface with
lint spread with the same ointment,
keeping the dressing in position with
strips of adhesive plaster or by a light
bandage. Youth's Companion.

How Col. White Feeds the sparrows.

Every day about 10 o'clock there ap-
pears in the doorway of the Pierrepont
house, Brooklyn, a gentleman with gray
hair and whiskers of rather English
pattern. The closely buttoned frock
coat shows the figure of well kept
man, careful and methodical in his
habits This man is Col P. White, who
for the last twenty years has been a
boarder at the Montague street hotel, and
who is as well known as the very name
Of the house he inhabits.
Regular as a planet, rain or shine, Col
White appears with the same object in
view.
He feeds the sparrows, who daily await
in the big tree opposite the hotel the ap-
pearance Of their friend.
Generally Col White has handful of
corn bread. When he stands outside
the door the little gray and brown birds
swoop down from their perches. Some
of the boldest light on Col. Whites arms
and shoulders, and there is one very Sc
date and metholical bird that will take
his stand on the colonel's thumb and pick
crumbs from his open hand.
Not less than twenty sparrows are
regular in their attendance, and often
there are a half hundred chirping and
twittering for their share Of the food.
When the crowd is unusually large Col.
White walks around to the Hicks street
side and deals out the crumbs on the
sidewalk or on the asphalt street. Some
of the birds know his voice. and stand
around his feet twittering impudently
and impatiently for their rations. When
the meal is ended they are told to go,
and they do, but only to return about d
o'clock in the afternoon for their dinner
from the same kind hands.-New York

Alphonse Daudet, considered by many
the most popular living novelist, is one
of the most remarkable looking men in
Europe. He has an exquisitely shaped
head, broad, white forehead, coal black
eyes and hair and a full dark beard.
Years ago, when he first came up to
Paris from Lyons, unknown and friend
less, he was so poor that he was forced
to make his journey in a cold freight
car, and had nothing to eat for two
days. A copy of his poems fortunately
met the eye Of the Empress Eugene,
who directed the Due de Morny to send
for him. Poor Daudet with difficulty
procured suitable clothing for his ap-
pearance at the Tuileries. but lucra-
tive secretaryship was soon offered him
by De Morny, and his pecuniary trials
were ended.-New York Ledger.

Origin of a Common Expression.

Barking up the wrong tree" is very
common expression in the west. 1t orig
mated from the fact that dog will bark
at the foot of particular tree to indi-
cate to his master where the game is
located. While endeavoring to see the
animal he discovers it on another tree,
and it finally escapes him altogether. In
its application it denotes that person
has mistaken his object or is looking for
it in the wrong place.-Detroit Free
