learn from him the fact, or fiction which he
had to narrate. AT that time, as still, pre-
sumo, there was q Mormon settlement at the
mouth Of Virgin River, where it enters the
Colorado, and hereI found the man was in
search OF, insgood health, but looking as if he
had been recent snbiected to much physical
privation and torture At that time White
was u mans of thirty, with fair hair and blue
eyes, and the slender hips and broad, deep
chest, that denote great powers OF endurance.
He wasof average height, very active in his
movements and slow in his speech. There
was nothing about him suggestive OF the
western braggart or bully. Indeed, he look
ed to be what he claimed, an American by
birth, as were his ancestors, and farmer by
training. His home, up to the spring of 1857,
had been near Davenport Iowa. He had re-
ceived akcommen school education, had read
q good deal, and was man OF excellent COM
mon sense. He was unmarried, and worked
with his father and brothers on the farm, Of
whose monotony he began to weary. He had
read and heard of men leaping into sudden
fortune in those Western wiIds, and, reason
ing that his father and brothers were strong
enough to work the farm without him, he
determined to go into that land where for
tune was SO lavish of her favors, and see if
the lightning might not strike him.
Going West then was very much more
important and a much more dangerous mat
ter than it is now. At that time the buffalo,
in tens of thousands. covered the plains in
the summer season, the natural herds of the
wild, nomad Indians, who followed them from
Texas north to British Columbia, as the snow
melted in the spring, and who returned with
them to the plains Of Texas, and the side val
legs of the Rio Grande, when the snow first
made its appearance in the fall.
At that time overland communication with
Salt Lake and San Francisco was had by
means of stage coaches. These coaches were
not run with great regularity, and, when run,
they were usually accompanied by a strona

A Camp Experience.

Rhode Island soldier, while on picket
guard, was rushed upon by a party of Con-
federate cavalry. He fred at the foremost of
them and ran. Before him was an open field
about fifty rods across, bounded by an old log
fence, and beyond that a thicket of briers
and underbrush. For this bushy retreat the
soldier started, a half dozen horsemen after
him. Fortunately for the fugitive, the rains
had softened the soil, and the horses slumped
through the turf SO badly that pursuit was
slow.
pistol ball passed through the runners
hat, but he reached the fence, and with one
bound landed on the top, intending to give
long spring ahead, but the old fence crum-
bled beneath his weight and down he went.
But luck favored him again, for hog had
rooted out gutter at this place and at the
moment was lying in it. The soldier fell
plump into the hole, and the frightened hog
uttered one squeal and scampered into the
underbrush, leaving the newcomer in possess
sion Of the wallow and buried under the
debris Of the fence
minute more and up dashed the horse
men. Hearing the rustic of the fleeing hog
in the bushes, they supposed it to be the
picket, and dashed through the gap in the
fence and fastened on. 4ss.sssszg
When they were well out of sight the fugi-
tive crawled out from the mudhole and ran
back to camp.
The following day one of the same horse
men was taken a prisoner. Our hero recog-
nized him at once.
81 say" he asked, "did you catch that hog
yesterday?'
''We did that" retorted the prisoner; ssbut
it wasn't the one we were after!''

indefinitely to the north. Here the want of
fuel, and, it may be added, the tinidity of his
men, who were overawed by the weird scenes
among which they found themselves, COM
PEELED him to return.
Even as late as 1867, the trappers and gold
hunters, whose geographical knowledge of
the western continent, il put down in proper
form, would have made US as familiar with
the greater portion of that region as we then
were with the settled parts Of the East, had
never visited the Grand Canyon of the Colora-
do; or, at most, had only got startling
glimpses of it from certain points of vantage
1t was therefore natural THAT they should
call on their imaginations to supply titanic
natural bridges, mighty waterfalls, impass-
able cataracts and other phenomena, as the
natural adjuncts of this mysterious river.
The world has given Major Powell credit
for having been the first man to traverse the
unexplored parts of this mighty canyon.
Without wishing to detract from the merit
of his dangerous and successful attempt,
justice to the facts compels me to say that
James White was his involuntary predecessor
in this wonderful enterprise In 1868, some
years before Major Powell made his descent
of the Colorado, 1 wrote a description of
Whites adventure, which appeared in many
OF the leading. American papers, and was
translated for European periodicals, formed
the subject of paper read before the Royal
Geographical Society, in England, and which
subsequently appeared among its publica-
tons.
Here are the facts:
After getting my information from Colonel
Brownlow, one of the handsomest and BRAY
est soldiers ever met, and with whom, as a
boy, had faced many danger in the noun
tains OF Tennessee and Kentucky during the
war, determined to find James White and

From drawer OF the table Colonel Morton
took out his colored goggles, which, he inn
agined, had been such an effective disguise
during the meeting before, and putting them
on, with the addition Of skull cap, he went
out to the library, with the tottering step Of
an old man. On the plea of ill-health and
sore eyes, he had met the commodore but
once since his arrival, and rich as he believed
himself to be. he would have given half his
possessions if he could have avoided coming
face to face with him again. He found the
commodore and Ralph standing in the mid
die OF the room, each holding his hat in his
right hand, as II ready to take his departure
Immediately.
Gentlemen" began Colonel Morton, 81 am
informed that you are about to leave Buena
Vista. This is certainly unexpected to me.
I had hoped toisee more Of you, and my
illness has not been improved by the fact
that have not been able to pay you the
attention I should have liked; particu-
larry to you, Commodore West, since your
arrival. *
II am plain, blunt man." said the Com
modore. his keens gray eyes fixed on the
ashy face of his host, and looking as If they
pierced through the goggles, OF the other, .I
feel that could not remain another night
under this roof and retain my self respect.
Had known before my coming what now
know, need hardly say you would never
have seen me here. And had known who it
was to whom Judge Davidson proposed to in
troduce my nephew, I can assure you he would
not have come.
81 must confess, sir" said Colonel Morton,
with wonderful assurance, s'that your words
astound me. You are my guest, under my
roof-tree, and If you intend that your Ian
guage shall be insulting, cannot, as gentle
man, receive it in that spirit"
"As gentleman r. sneered the commodore,
"Permit me to say that know who you were,
and what you are. A liar, a thief forger, q
villain and a murdererl You pass as Colonel
Morton, but have seen through your dis
guise, and recognize in you the man Leonard
Martin, for whom have been in search for
nearly quarter OF century, You have
blasted my life, and the lives of those whom
have loved. Ruin and disgrace follow
everything with which you are connected.
But, thank God the end is at hand. THE
mills Of the gods grind slowly, but they
grind exceeding fne,' Leonard Martin!
Success, prosperity and position seemed to
have been the reward Of your infamy; but
they are mutations which will be punctured
by the lance of truth The hour has come and
justice is to be done. That is ALI"
And taking his nephew's arm, Commodore
West strobe from the room and down the
broad steps leading from the piazza, and on
foot they made their way in the direction of
San Bernal.

Up to the instant when he shouted the last

THE FUNERAL By ToRcHLrGh.

Colonel Morton was still lying on the
lounge, in his private Office, when Servant
entered, and told him that Commodore West
desired to see him.
''What the devil does he want?" snapped
the colonel, as he sat up and rubbed his
blood-shot eyes.
81 do not know, SIR" replied the servant,
"but he and his nephew have already sent
their trunks TO San Bernal, and, believe, are
waiting to speak with you before they leave"
Sent their trunks TO San Bernal? See me
before they leaye?" repeated Colonel Morton,
and he looked at his servant as if to have the
words corroborated.
Eyes, sir; that's what the young man said
to me, said the servant, and he bowed and
withdrew from the room.

why Diamonds are Worn.

Ignorant, fippant men are fond of saying
that ladies' fashions have nothing to do with
common sense. But there is one fashion,
at first sight very ugly and rather vulgar
one-which is based on reason. Not many
years ago it was considered vulgar to wear
diamonds in the daytime. Now you may
see them sparkling in dainty ears and under
well-bred chins. And it is rumored that if
the prying eye could look under cloaks and
bodices it would discern stars and necklets
and bracelets. The fact is that women put
on their jewels when they go out because
they dare not leave them.
