OF course the Madrid press IL right
in finding, on second reading Of the
Presidents message, that that ut

hereafter appear to be a duty i'm
posed by our obligations to oursel ives,
to civilization and humanity. to In
tervene with force, 1t shall be with
out fault on our part, and only be-
cause necessity for such action will
be 30 clear as to command the sup
port and approval of the civilized
world" These words are specific.
To intervene with force" is 80 plain

this expression. Globe Democrat.

Watch the course of events 1t may

say about that Of the Chilcoot Pass,
5000 feet-the mountains are clothed
in perpetual snow and ice. Glaciers are
everywhere to be seen. But we cannot
see the earth, as we would like, for
the clouds and fog hang continually
around the mountains peaks, thorough
~ enveloping them down to about the
level spoken of, and so shutting them
out from view.
Animal life except that Of human
beings, is indeed scarce. We see ocoa-
sionally a small wren or chipmunk
and that is ALL There is apparently
no fish in these waters.
You see. we are verify up among the
clouds, where 1t seems to storm perpet-
ually. Yet none of US actually suffer
from the cold, except on such rare
occasions as being caught at night on
the summit of Chilcoot Pass. Very few
of us have, however, put on any very
extra clothing.
jackson and I are really wearing
less and thinner clothing than we would
in Sacramento in the winter and do
not care for heavier The rain does
not seem near so disagreeable as that
of your city.
Il would like to write to you oftener
and more at length, but there is al
ways something to be done. Our work.
like that of a, housekeeper, is never
at an end. We either have buttons to
sew on, rents in clothing to repair,
cooking to be done, or something else
to look after. to say nothing of the
boat building, camp pitching, packing,
choDDing, and many other things to be
done. Indeed, I have just snatched
time enough to write this letter be-
tween doing my washing and waiting
for Jack to get his done and hung
around our fire to dry. AS soon as Jack
has his washing out, then 1 can get
the fire to do my ironing, so that he
and l can then go to cooking our even
ing meal.
This being Sunday, and we not hav-
ing had much but hardtack to eat for
week, we have concluded that we
shall have a veritable repast for supper
to-day. Here is the menu
''Fricaseed dried bacon.
Boiled breakfast bacon on toast
Roast beans and salt pork.

A fine contrast with the hardtack
the cold corn beef and no fire, that we
had on the summit, isn't it? Yours ever
