A SMALL BOY AND A MULE.
Taken for the "Boy Orator" and the
Democracy.
From the New YORK Tribnne


From the New York Tribune.
It was in the hottest part of the day last
Tuesday, when a small boy in knickerbock-
ers turned into Broadway, near Trinity
church. There was nothing remarkable
about the boy except that he led by
halter small gray mule that trotted de-
murely along as the boy turned down to-
ward the Battery. Many pedestrians
stopped to watch the unusual sight, for
the boy did not look like a fostlers as
sistant He was nearer the counterpart
Of little Lord Fauntleroy. He wore a sailor
suit with a big white collar and russell
shoes. In the amount of self-conscious-
ness that he exhibited, too, he again show
ed that he was an amateur.
The procession of two moved slowly, for
the heat was terrific, and both the boy and
the mule showed that they felt 1t. Through
the line of amused faces they dragged their
way, solemnly and laboriously winding
in and out of the maze of cable-cars and
wagons. One of the most interested spec
tators was a fat man who carried his hat
in his hand and protected his head with
big umbrella. He stood at Rector street
and Broadway, and as he looked after the
disappearing pageant his face wore look
in which amusement and perplexity were
mingled. He looked as If he were trying
to think of something. The boy and the
mule were almost a block away. Sudden
waving his hat and the umbrella he shout
ed eli! Hi It's the Boy Orator and the
democratic party" Then he started down
the street on the run crying at the top
Of his voice ''Boy orator and the demo-
cratic partyl Git onto the boy orator and
the democratic party"
In an instant the cry was taken up, and
there was a rush after the boy and the
mule So quickly did the crowd gather
that 1t was not two minutes before the
street was filled with hilarious process
sion of men and boys, who followed at a
respectful distance from the heels of the
mule. The air was full OF glbes and jests
at the expense Of the unfortunate pair
The. crowd seemed tickled to death with
itself. while hundreds Of those who
thought it beneath their dignity to take
to the street still followed along the side
walk, and whenever they could get their
breath for laughing. shouted: Speech!
Speech"
1t would be hard TO tell which was the
more ernbarra ssed-the boy or the mule
They both looked utterly Inundated. The
boy never took his eyes of the paving. and
the mule almost dragged his head on the
ground. But neither Of them stopped. In
this way the procession went on to the
Staten Island ferry-the boy and the mule

He Felt Lonely.

a Cleveland family was in court

OF the witnesses, and she had this
cheerful tale to tell Of her father, who
is man of the most daring original
ity, if the story is true:
@Pa was sitting in his saloon, feel
ing lonely. He went to the barn and
putting a halter on the horse brought
him into the house saying he wanted
the animal to eat supper with him.
Pa made me set plate for the horse.
Then he took hold of the horses front
legs and lifted them up on the table.
We all sat down to supper and the
horse began to eat. Pa picked up a
mug of beer and began to laugh and
threw both hands in the air. The
mug hit the horse on the nose. The
beast pulled his foet down, dragging
the tablecloth and upsetting the table.
The horse backed up and sat square
ly on a red hot stove. This burned it's
tail, so the animal kicked the stove
over and ran out the door. l scream

ESQuimau Ruins.

BY far the most interesting ruins on
the coast were those we found near the
entrance to Nachvack bay. 1t was evil
dent from their appearance that they
had never been visited by dssccrating
strangers, and even the natives dis
claimed all knowledge of them. Upon
q narrow strip of beach at the foot OF
il prccipitous ravine, cutting the crest
of the mountainous cliffs Which over
hang the sea, half buried in shingles
and weighted with heavy covering of
turf and moss, are the well-preserved
remains of what was once the residence
OF It populous tribe. The main entrance
had been formed by setting upon end
the lower jawbone of a whale. This
led into broad passagewuy, from
which smaller ones branched at irreg-
ualr intervals, and which terminated
ut the various family apartments, or
habitations. Whales bones entered
largely into the construction of the
whole, no other material having been
used for supports. Nachvacli is far be-
yond the northern tree limit of the
coast, and these were doubtless the best
substitute for timbers which could be
procured. The vertebrate of whales had
been used as stools and for various
other purposes; the framework of
kayaks and komatilSs, skin boats and
sledgcs, were of bone and horn; tho
weapons and implements were of stone,
bone, horn and ivory. Enough Of these
were present to have filled q ship, but
not scrap of iron or other metal could
be found.-Outing.

a Lake Of Gold.

The latest story of wondrous
gold find in Alaska is OF Il lake whose
bed is literally paved deep with gold
dust as ponds are foored with mud.
Hams Christian Pande, a name sus-
piciously near that of the great teller
OF fairy. stories, an old sea captain,
told the story of his find on his ar.
rival in Seattle few days ago. The
lake is 1000 yards long, 400 yards
wide, and $50 feet deep. 1t is fed
by water from glacier. and it's only
outlet is IL little stream two feet
deep, but of incredible swiftness.
According to Mr.. Pande's theory,
based on assays on some sand from
the shores and bottom of the lake
the glacier has for centuries been
bringing down gold from the moun-
tains and depositing it in the cup-like
basin of the lake. The assay showed
eight to ten dollars cubic yard, and
In this basin Il man could alone take
out $4,000 year. Mr.. Pande pro-
poses to blast out the side of the lake,
drain off the water, and dredge ont
his gold
