He came out two or three years ago, and, being thriving fellow, has got to him. self lands and beeves and wives without number.

They told me in the city that he intended to run this trip himself. You will see an odd compound of fellow" E
 II should think so; policeman, acelyte, man-of-war's man, Yankee husband, Mormon! Has he come to his finality?''
 "He thinks so. He is a shrewd fellow of many smatterings. He says there are only two logical religions in the civilized world-the Popish and the Mormon. These two are the only ones that have any basis in authority. His convent ex- periences disenchanted him with Cathol- icism. He is quite irreverent, is the es- timable Jake. He says monks are set of snuffy old reprobates. He says that he found celibacy tended to all manner of low vice; that monogamy disappoint- ed him; so he tried the New Revelation, polygamy and all, and has become an ardent propagandist and exhorter. Take the man as he is, and he has plenty of brave, honest qualities.
 We had by this time ridden up to the mail party. They were moving slowly along. The nights camping spot was near. It was bit of grassy level on the bank of river, galloping oyer the peb- bles with it's mountain impetus still in it Green river, perhaps; Green or White. or Big Sandy or Little Stony.
 "Hillo, Shamberlainr' hailed Brent, riding up to the train.
 "Howdydo? Howdydo? No swap." responded Jake, after the Indian fashion. "Bung my eyes! eff you're not the mate of all mates I'm glad to see. Pax vobis-. crum, my lilly! You look as fresh as an Aperel shad Praised be the Lord!" con tinued he, relapsing into Mormon slang, ''who has sent thee again, like brand from the burning, to fall into paths of pleasantness with the saints, as they wander from the promised land to the mean section where the low lived Gen tiles ripen their souls for he'll"
 Drcll farrago! but just as Jake de- ivered it. He had the slang and the swearing of all cli1nes and countries at his tongues end.
 "Hello, stranger!" said he, turning to me. "I allowed you was the barrow night"
 ''It's my friend, Richard Wade," said Brent.
 Yours to command, Brother Wade" Jake says hospitably.. '.Ef you turn out prime, one of the out and cutters, like Brother John Brent, I'll tip em the wink to let you off easy at the Judgment Day, Gentle or not. I've booked Brother John fur Paradise. Brother Josephs got white robe fur him, blow high. blow low!"
 We rode along beside Sham

 Next morning the two strangers were free and accepted members of the party. They travelled on with us without ques- tion. Smith the gaunt affected rough frankness of manner. Robinson was low comedy. His head was packed with scurvy jokes and Stories. He had foul leer on his face whenever he was think ing his own thoughts. But either, if suddenly startled, showed the unmistak able look that announces worse crime than mere knavery.
 They tangled their names so that we perceived each was an alias hastily as- stunned. Smith compared sixshooters with me. detected on his the name Murker, half erased, Once, too, Brent heard Murker, alias Smith, call his part ner Larrap.
 "Larrap is appropriate" said I, when Brent told me this; "just the name for him, as that unlucky mule branded A. 6 A. could testify."
 "I have no prejudices against the family Larrap. But when Larrap's mate spoke the name, he looked at me as if he had been committing murder, and had by an irresistible impulse proclaimed the fact. Look at him now! How he starts and half turns whenever one of our horses makes chatter. He dares not quite look back. He knows there is something after him." ,..- ''The dread of a. vengeance, you think" |"

''From being helpless paralytic, hav- ing to be dressed and cared for by others, now care for myself, can walk about the city and enjoy fair health.
 II would state that after beginning the use of Dr. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy used no other medicine.
 "The result surprised and astonished all my friends, and they have urged me to make this statement as matter of justice and to encourage others who may be sim ilarly afflicted.
 II will also state that I was soldier in the late war and served 15 years on the police force of Portland. Alexander Bell, IA Lincoln St., Portland Me. This is indeed most remarkable cure by a wonderful medicine-a medicine which is, beyond all doubt. the greatest nerve remedy and health restorer ever discovered. The Portland doctors are astounded at it's effects in diseases which have baff1ed their skill. Mr. Bells res toration should make everybody suffering use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy without delay.
 But do not wait until you are actually paralyzed before using this great remedy. It will always prevent paralysis, nervous debility and nervous prostration if taken when the first symptoms appear.
 Take it if you have weak and tired feeling with weariness of the limbs, numbness, trembling, palpitation of the heart, prickling sensation in fingers or toes, headaches, dull feeling head, con- fused mind, nervousness, sleeplessness, loss of memory. It will overcome indi- gestion and dyspepsia, regulate the bowels and cure liver and kidney complaints. It is the best blood enrichel and invigoratog in the world and should therefore be used by all.
 It is purely vegetable and perfectly harmless, and should you be sufferer from disease you will use it if you are wise. We would add that, although sold by druggists, it is in no sense patent medicine, being the prescription and dis covery of Dr. Greene, of 35 w. .14th Street, New York, who is the most eminent specialist in the country in the treatment of nervous and chronic diseases. Sufferers have the privilege also of consulting the famous doctor free of charge personally or by letter.

The sun had just gone down. There was red wrangle of angry vapors over the mounds of mountain westward. A brace of travellers from Salt Lake way rode up and lighted their camp fire near ours. More society in that lonely world. Two families, with two sets of Lares and Penates.
 Not attractive society. They were sinister looking couple of hounds. A lean woltish and fat bony dog.
 One was 8 rawboned, stringy chap as gaunt, unkempt and cruel Pike as ever pillaged the cabin. insulted the wife and squirted tobacco over the dead body of Free State settler in Kansas. The other was worse, because craftier. A little man, stockish, oily and red ill the face. A jaunty fellow, too, with d certain shabby air of coxco1nbry even in his travel stained attire.
 They were we'll mounted, both. The long rutfian rode sorrel, big and bony as himself, and equally above such acci- dents as food or no food. The little viii lain's mount was q red roan, Flathead horse, rather naggy, but perfectly hardy and wiry-an animal that one would choose to do thousand miles in twenty days or hundred between sunrise and sunset. They had also. two capital mules, packed very light. One was branded "A. 6 A.
 Distrust and disgust are infallible in- stincts. Mems hearts and lives are writ ten on their faces, to warn or charm. Never reject that divine or devilish record!
 Brent read the strangers, shivered at me, and said, sotto voce, "What a precious pair of cutthroats! We must look sharp for our horses while they are about" ...... ,
 "Yes," returned I, in the same tone; ''they look to me like Sacramento gam blers, who have murdered somebody, and had to make tracks for their lives"
 "The Cassius of the pair Is bad enough" said Brent; ''but that oily little wretch sickens me-"
 The objectionable stranger came to our camp fire. ..r
 "Hello, menr' said he, with famil- far air, tits fine night;" and meeting with no response, he continued, "but l reckon you don't allow nothin else but fine nights in this section."

 "Well," says the fellow, laying hold of this very slight encouragement, "since you're agreeable, we'll fry our pork over your fire and hev a smoke to better ac- quaintance."

for his party than the Hon. Henry
Glover, and be it said 10 Lis credit
he has always fought for principle
and not men, for which he has been
condemned by the Bosses of his
party. For the courage of his con
victions he has paid the penalty
imposed by the Ring. which he has
often fought single handed and
alone. Probably Mr.. Glover and
the Bosses are not aware of the fact
that the ARGUS is in possession of
facts which lead the Bosses TO hope
that they would be able to silence
MIR. Glover in his opposition to the
Ring politics. II not, the ARGUS
is glad to pay tribute to the hon
esty and manhood Of political
opponent, who could not be bought
or silenced by promise of political
reward. The ARGUS believes in
rewarding such sterling honesty
and manhood, wherever found. and
If The Republican party would be
true to itself, and instill into the
rising generation of Republicans
the truism Honesty is its own re-

Hall Oh the MGFCnanIS.
Three weeks ago Saturday evening
two of the employees of the Merchants
hotel mvsteriously disappeared. There
is no question that they took French
leave, and every indication points
towards a sensational elopement. The
man in the case is Jim" Enright, and
the woman Ida johnson. The former
occupied the dignified position of second
waiter, while the other was employed
in more mental service. She was en-
gagged in the helps hail." as it Is
phrased in hotel parlence. But this
statement does not reveal the most seH-
satiOnal feature. Enright is a married
man. He welded an employee of the
house some two years ago, but 1t has
been matter of general suspicion
around the the hostelry that he has not
been faithful to his nuptials for many
months, and everybody fancies they
have reason to believe that Ida has
been the lOdeStone that has drawn his
affections away from his wife. Be that
as it may, they both left the city
on the same evening, and their
Whereabouts are still unknown TO Mrs.
Enright, who is almost frantic in her
endeavorS to get trace of her recreant
husband. She has invoked the aid of
every one she knows, but search has
been futile. She will now engage the
services of detectives and will probably
be successful ultimately. Enright is the
brother OF Morris Enright, the butcher,

latter keenly feelstile disgrace.

One of the most striking pictures in

attracted much attention in the Salon of

Christ, while the figures of the group of
men around him have the faces of some
Of the best known men of Paris. The
idea is not strictly original, and the
picture excited much and diverse COM

approving of the sO-called SacrilegiOuS
use of the Christ in satire. Another
intensely interesting picture was st.

French legend has it that this saint was
