of Captain j. A. Mallon, steamboatman
of Yuma, a. IT,, will soon attempt to float
from the crossing Of the Union Pacific on
the Green river, in Wyoming, to Yuma, a
distance of about 300 miles, in IS days.
The first descent through the canyons
was made by James White in 1867. White,
Captain Baker, late of the Confederate
army, and Henry Strole were prospecting
for gold in Colorado near the junction Of
tho Green and Grand rivers. Baker was
killed by Indians, and White and Strole
made raft and attempted to escape down
the river. While descending q cataract
Strole was drowned, and White finished
the long and perilous journey and reached
Callville, New, nearly dead from privation
and hunger.
In 1869 Major John w. Powell, the
plucky explorer and geologist who lost an
arm during the war, started with four
boats and IL men to explore the canyons.
They. were lost to the world four months.
Three were killed by Indians, and the re-
manning nine made the journey in safety
Powell made a second trip later. The
most wonderful of the canyons is the
Grand canyon, which is goo miles long
and has walls that slant upward from
4, 600 to 2, 600 feet. AS the descent of the
stream is from to 200 feet to the mile,
the current hurries boat on at race horse
speed. The dangerous canyons practically
end at the mouth of the Virgin river in
Nevada. ----.- .-ss.. --,.--s,.s-- o..
Captain Melons boats will draw but
four inches of water, and he expects TO
pass safely over the rocks that wrecked
some Of Powell's boats, which drew Is

during the high water season, when the
melting SHOWS swell the Colorado's flood.
His boats will be "a feet long, &c inches

gated the Colorado for 80 years.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Contrasting
themselves with the Immigrants" from
other sections of the country, southern
ers in New York have no reason to be
ashamed Of their achievements during
the quarter of a century that has elapsed
since they established a permanent resi-
dence ON metropolitan soil
They began their new lives under the
most adverse conditions. When the war
ended, the majority Of them were strand
ed high and dry without plan, purse or
purpose. Nearly all had been in the
heat Of the struggle, and their sole CAPT
tai consisted Of the scars they had re-
ceived in battle and their faded suits Of
gray. Nearly all Of them had been
brought up among luxurious environ
ments and had enjoyed their share Of in
herited family incomes, yet they knew
little or nothing Of business affairs.
The time had come when it was neces-
sary to buckle down to work. What
kind Of work? was the question.
The Southern Society.
AS soon as they could earn enough
money to pay the fare northward thou
sands turned their faces to New York
True, many were compelled to wear
their old clothes turned inside out, and
they presented anything but the natty
appearance Of today, but they were not
disappointed in the welcome they re-
ceived- They found positions as clerks;
they began study in medical and law
classes. A few better favored than 9TH
ers dropped into the Cotton and Produce
Exchanges, and take them all in all they
made a brilliant start. It is not too
much to say that they have kept neck
and neck with their rivals in the race
ever since.
When the chance came to organize
southern society in New York, it found

During his first visit to the Hawaiian
islands in 1889, Stevenson cruised on the
yacht Casco, which he chartered from
its rich owner of Oakland, who, when
the proposition first was made to him to
rent his vessel for a. time, asked: Who
is this man Stevenson? Has he any
money!" The rich man who owned the
yacht is dead, leaving his money for
other men to fight for, and the man who
hired the yacht is dead, too. but he left
songs and tales and essays. And what is

the yacht and asked for Stevenson'S Gre

Should the plan of the organization
become popular the liquor business of
this country will be entirely revolu

perance in all things. The work of
his society will be educational. 1t is
to go into homes and teach the science
of living. What food is best suited to
individuals according TO the work they
do, and how to prepare it, the
amounts necessary for the preserva-
ton of health and strength will be
taught them.
For those who desire alcoholic stimu-
lants the use of beer and light wines
will be advocated. Whisky, brandy. gin,
rum, Father McKeever relegates to
the apothecaries, where they are to
be secured as medicine by prescrip-

discountenanced.

Stevenson Hires a Hut For n Study.
The association of the cottage life was
charming to stevenson, but when in
clined to write he wanted to be alone
For his literary temple he hired hut
that had been used by servants. The walls
were covered with newspapers and one
shelf held such equipments as had been
necessary for the simple occupants. In a
cot in this hut, Stevenson lay and read
and wrote. sometimes blowing melodies
on his reed pipe or his tin whistle. One
evening he noticed a mouse creep eau
tiously along the shelf, as though lis
tening to the music. Stevenson was de-
lighted at his visitor. Every night thence
forth Stevenson piped his tune and the
mouse came out at the sound and nibbled
at hits of cheese that ever lay on the
shelf after Stevenson had first noticed
his guest The musical evenings for the
pleasure of the mouse were sometimes
of delight TO the host of the hut.
