Water Carriers In Quito,

Around fountain in one of the
principal squares OF Quito assemble
every morning the city's aguadorcs.
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones of some South Amer
lean cities in carrying their jars on their
backs instead Of on the back Of mules.
Their earthen jars are deep, have a
wide mouth, and hold about forty liters.
The porter carries it on his shoulder
fastened with leather straps He never
detaches himself from his jar either to
fill it or to transfer it's contents to that
of his customer. He turns his back to
the fountain SO that the jar comes un-
der one of the jets of water, listens to
the sound of water in the jar, and his
ear is SO well trained that he always
walks away at the exact moment when
it is filed to the brim. Arrived at your
house, he goes to your jar, makes a deep
bow-and disappears behind torrent

the arrival of messages from the presi.
dent and house. That is forty
years. 1t was on March 4, 1874, that
first turned backwards the hands of the
senate clock. Tho senate, then in what
Is now the supreme court room, was
considering and voting upon an nppro-
priation bill, when 1t became evident
that the bill could not become law
before the hour of noon. Some one sug-
gested to the president pro tcmpore
tSenator Wiley p. Mangum, of North
Carolina), that the hands of the clock
might be so manipulated as to lengthen
the official day. was sent for and was
ordered by Mr.. Mangum to put the
hands back ten minutes The senate
clock then was tall one, and rcmem-
ber very distinctly climbing up to its
face. The time thus manufactured was
sufficient and the bill became law. Only
on rare occasions was there any med
ding with the clock TO within the past
twenty years. Since then the hands
have been turned back at least once in
every congress.
Concerning the work of pages sixty
years ago, or even twenty years ago
and now, Capt. Bassett said: "The boys
used to have to run all over the building
into all the committee rooms, shouting
and calling the senator's when yea
and nay vote was being taken. Now

adays, I merely press little button
here. and little bells ring all over the
senate wing of the capitol. announcing
the fact that yea and nay vote is be-
ing taken"
Capt. Bassett informed me that during
the past sixty-one years he has been alb
sent only thirty days when the senate
was in session. and twenty of those days
have been on account of sickness during
the past five years. 1t grieves him to
think that he must succumb to the in
exorable laws of nature, and he says.
"Whcn sickness has kept me indoors. in
spite of all of my endeavors to he cheer
full, am simply miserable. You can
not understand how feel. After six
ty-onc years of service, the idea that
the senate is in session and I am not
there seems awful. can picture to my
mind the vacant chair, and of course I
feel confident that nobody can perform
my duties satisfactorily. This is q
touch of human nature
Capt Bassett has numerous tokens Of
the regard of the distinguished men
whom he has served for these many
years; but above them all he prizes his
''ofiicial present" Us it is appropriately
termed. On the fiftieth anniversary of
his appointment as a page, he was pre-
sented gold and silver snuff box, upon
the lid of which is the following inscrip-
sion: Each member of the United
States senate has joined in presenting
this testimonial to Isaac Bassett on the
completion of the fiftieth year of his
services as an officer of that body in
recognition of his personal worth and
official fidelity. December 5, 1884,"
Capt Bassctt has a private nook in
the senate wing of the capitol, which
few people ever see and fewer still have
ever heard of. 1t is near the room of
the senate committee on the library
and would be a very dark little den but
for the gaslight. In that cubby hole is
lot of historical and antique articles,
each of which has q volume of reminis-
cences clustering about it. He has all
the snuff boxes there which have been
used by senator's. You know that there
used to be snuff boxes in the inches on
each side of the vice presidents chair,
and, as they were replaced by new ones,
Capt Bassett kept the old ones and la
beled them. Snuff boxes used to be as
necessary as water pitchers are nowa-
days. for almost everybody used snuff.
He also has piece of the cane which
Preston Brooks broke over the head of
Senator Sumner. But what else he
has ! cannot describe. for do not
know He is keeping ell of these
things for description in the book
which he will some day publish about
his official life. SMITH d. FRY.

poBible. The child could, perhaps, be
snatched from the boat before reach
ing} the rapids. But what then?
Neither he nor his rescuer, we felt con-
vinced, could ever regain the shore.
The poor women, Lyons wife and
Jimmy's mother, sobbed pitifully as we
all hurried down the edge of the river
SO as to keep abreast of the skiff. None
OF us dared to encourage them by a
hopeful word, for not one of us believed
that either would ever again be clasped
in the arms of husband or son.
The tiny scow was now quite six
hundred yards from shore, and, with
gradually accelerated motion, was
drawing frightfully near the rapids.
But the pursuing boat went four feet
to its one and was swiftly closing the
gap between them. The innocent babe
had at last become alarmed, and as
Lyons drew near he stretched his
little arms imploringly toward him, q
sight which drove the women nearly
frantic and caused tears to roll down
more than one manly cheek.
"Oh, hush hush! not word nor
cheer yet some one said, in chok-
ing whisper, as the two boats came to-
gether. "The fight is still to win!'
AS he ranged alongside Lyons pulled
in one oar, leaned over the gunwalc,
caught up the child and lifted him into
his own boat. "Too late! Oh. too
late!' shrieked his agonized wife. And,
indeed, it SO seemed to each one of us.
But then the noble fellow, cool as if
there was no danger within thousand
miles, reshipped his oar and did the
only thing which could offer possible
chance for life. He did not vainly at
tempt to stem the current by rowing
upstream, nor even directly tow ard the
shore, but turned his bow quartering
down, and, pulling with nerves of
steel and giant strength, shot with ar
rowy speed diagonally athwart the riv.
er's course, and in less than five min
utes, landed safely at the head of the
channel running between Streets
island and the mainland!
Then-but why go on? No language,
much less my poor pen, can adequately
describe the scene which followed.
This incident is matter of history,
I presume, but l may inform those who
now read of it for the first time, that
the Royal Humane society of England
soon after sent to MIR. Lyons its gold
medal, in recognition of his daring
deed-how dnriug no one unacquainted
with Its scene can realise.

Notwithstanding the dangerous prox-
unity of the falls, people are contin-
ually crossing aud recrossing the river
here, between the American and Cana
dian shores.
! Great caution is generally exercised
bby boatmen, and the loss of life on this
stretch of water is less than on any
body OF equal width-constantly
ravcrsed by small open boats-that
ynow Of. Deplorablc fatalities have
occurred from time to time, but these
have always been the result OF ig-
nhranee or gross carelessness.
Two cases of this kind have come
undef ny own observation and ! was
unhappy enough to see the victims
drawn down to the first leap of the
rapids, after which not trace of any
one of them was ever seen.
One of the instances was that OF =
farmer, who drove his horses and
wagon iuto the edge of the river, at a
shoal-place about mile above Chippe-
wa, to let the animals drink--that par
ticular spot being the only one for
many miles which was adapted to the
purpose.
The man, though perfectly familiar
with the locality, carelessly drove in
too far and, upon attempting to turn
about, one, of the rcins caught under
the neck-yoke, the horses foundered
into the deep water, the heavy run
ming gear sank, dragged the poor
brutes down and drowned them, while
the light pine wagon-box foatcd off
with the man!
Tho unfortunate fellow was known
to be good swimmer, and if he had
instantly jumped out and made for
shore, all would have been we'll. But
he was frightened out of his wits and
did nothing but scream for help. Now
comes the straugest part of the story.
The accident was witnessed by another
farmer, plowing in field close Mt
hand. A he we'll knew. there was not
a boat Of any kind nearer than Chippe-
wa. and yet, instead of springing on
one of his horses and riding for life, he
actually walked down along the bank,
keeping abreast of and talking
to his imperiled neighbor and cheer
ing him by the assurance that he
would get boat and take him off
when he should come in front of the
village!
Gradually--for such is the trend of
the current there--as the box foated
downstream, it was borne further and
further from land. and when it did ar
rive opposite the mouth of the We'll
land river was fully four hundred
yards out
Only then did the sympathizing
friend rush into the village and give
the alarm.
The second person whom l saw thus
done to death was one of party OF
duck hunters, who had been shooting
in the weedy passage between Grand
and Buckhorn islands. In spite of his
companions advice to the contrary,
this man determined to remain out all
night, in the hope Of making good
bag in the early morning.
The last thing his comrades saw Of
him-so they told us-he had drawn
the bow of his boat a little way up on
sandbar at the lower end OF Buck
horn island, and laid himself down to
sleep in her.
1t is supposed that, while he slept,
change of wind caused the water to
rise sufficiently to set the boat free-a
moderate downstream breeze would

do it. Al all events, shortly after day.
break next morning, some one OF the
Chippewa's early risers called out that
an empty boat was going over the
falls. knot Of interested spectators
soon focked down to the rivers edge to
see the exciting event--opinions being
fbout equally divided as to whether
the light slsitf would live to reach the
cataSact itself, or would go to pieces on
eNiching the rapids.
y AS we thus speculated, our idle talk
was suddenly replaced by a general
Cry of horror, for, from the bottom Of
what we had thought an empty shell,
the head and shoulders of man all at
once became visible, and the next mo-
ment he rose to his feet. Beyond all
doubt the luclsless being had only that
instant awakened.
IAN human imagination conceive or

Ing must have been?

The Worst Thing That Traveller Can Eu-

The Worst Thing That q Traveller Can Eu-
counter In the Ncst.
"Thc worst thing that traveller can
encounter is q Dakota blizzard" said a
traveller to Globe-Democrat man. "A
Dakota blizzard is something like Sa.
hara sand storm, but with powdered leo
instead of sand. and the Thermometer
ranging thirty degrees below instead of
100 above. A traveller may outlive q
sand storm, the only danger is that he
will be smotherod, but woe to the un-
lucky pilgrim who is caught by the
blizzard

iron filings, is driven into his face with
terrific force; it becomes impossible to
distinguish objects at distance of q
dozen yards, and he may founder about

own house without being able to find
it. Great drifts are piled up around
him, then whisked away, leaving the
ground perfectly bare; the wind seems
to resolve itself into thousand whirl-
ing cyclones, and every open stretch of
snow into maelstrom. In North Da-
kota many of the farmers stretch ropes
from their houses to tneir barns 30 that
they venture out to feed their stock
during blizzards-which frequently last
two or three days-without danger of
getting lost in the icy storm.
"In February, 1884. drove out in
sleigh few miles from Fargo to close
up land trade. The sky was as clear
as bell, the air just cold enough to be
exhilarating and enjoyed my ride out

out of the northeast that constantly iii-
creased in violence until the air became
filed with fine snow, which glittered
like myriads of tiny diamonds in the

wind began to hurl great banks of snow
