A Trip to Puerto Rico.

We left New York September 81 at
P. M. on the Steamship Arkadia, which is
an all-iron and steel steamer 2s5 feet long,

ing freight and passengers to and from
Puerto Rico. There were &c passengers
and Crew of "a on board. The weather
was fine, and we had avery pleasant vow
age, although part OF the passengers were
very seasick when we crossed the Gull
Stream which was 25O miles wide where we
crossed it. The water was very rough and
the air warm and close; the temperature Of
the water was Sc degrees.
We did not see land after we left the
Jersey coast until we saw the island of
Puerto Rico Wednesday morning, Septem-
ber %; we then ran up the American flag,
the United States mail flag, and the Union
JACK to signal for pilot. Soon a Spar
ish pilot came on board and we started for
San Juan harbor, sailing very close to and
getting q fine view of Moro Castle, which
was built of solid masonry about 800
years ago, and looks as though it might
stand for centuries to come, although it
bore marks of our guns, where our men
turned the guns onto it just for fun, at the
time they were dropping shells into the
harbor from our battleships, to see if the
Spanish feet was in there. We dropped
anchor 10 the harbor at so and then the
natives came around us in boats as thick as
they could to land US.
Thsre are no docks built yet and the
steauers have to anchor off shore and
the freight and passengers have to
be landed in boats OF lighters. 1t cost
us q IS each in Puerto Rico money to get
landed and have our baggage taken to the
hotel. They would not take United States
money so We went to the bank and pot il
changed. s1.75 in Puerto Rico money for

Legislative News.

Montpelier, late Monday night, the 18th.
Dear TIMES -
The cool sequestere d halls wherein the
wisdom aud virtue of the house and the
dignity of the senate were wont to roam at
will, were practically deserted the last hall
of last week sud only few visitors ard at
rare intervals a wandering and uneasy
member disturbed the ballowed precincts.
After about an hours busy session
Thursday morning both houses adjourne
to Monday afternoon, pursuant to joint
reso utions and the m mbers rushed to
their boarding houses, hurried in dinner,
snatched their grips and hustled Tor the
special legislative train waiting to trans
port than to the Queen City.
One member asked me where the exer-
cises were to take place and answered
that l understood in City Hall Square.
''How far i, that this side of Burlingt on ?n
be asked and felt the deadly result on
small minds of contact with real genius
Well, they went, saw and conquered; saw
the lake, the police station, the impressive
university and library; looked up at the
highest buildings; admired the da.hing
cavalry m n and were gwen something to
eat. As to the drinkables, the record is
silent.
And right here | want to say that this
legislature is most temperate and sober
body OF men, the most so, believe, of any
that ever gathered in Montpelier. l do
not believe there is a hard drinking man In
either body or about the legislature. In
our two weeks have not seen the slightest
indication of intoxication or any outward
indication that anybody had taken drink.
This most extra ordinary circumstance is
worthy of special note and believe the
people will be glad to hear it.
After the event at Burlington the MEM
bers mostly scattered to their homes to re-
main over Sunday, only very few return
ing here. This morning they began to
flock in again and not many absentees
we're noted at this afternoons session Just
the same the real business of the week will
not start in until tomorrow morning, when
the rush Of bills will begin in dead earnest.

A Paper Bag Man.

A gentleman giving his name as John
son drifted into town last week and pro-
ceeded to work another advertising scheme
He got his money but his advertisers have
yet to get what they contracted for. The
scheme was this: johnson would 60 to a
merchant and tell him that he was going to
have a series of ad: printed on one side of
5000 paper bags and the bags were to be
use d by the grocery men in town and thus
the ads would be gwen great publicity. A
square worth great deal more cost only
s1.60. He then went to the grocerymen

ThB KL0NDlKERS ARE SHFB.

Word has been received from the
Grant county boys in the far north
west thas proves that the one party
all got safety through the pass and
that the other party all landed safely
at Port Valdes.
Those who went over Chilkoot pass
must have had narrow escape
indeed aud missed being buried in
that awful avalanche by only day or
two. The news Of their safety has
lifted heavy weight of anxiety from
the minds of relatives and friends in
this vicinity.
Several long letters have been
received within day or two from the
Copper river party. They had long
tedious trip from Seattle of over a
month, but got through all right.
Roy Mccoy is still in Port Valdes and
probably will remain. He thinks he
has better ching in the grocery and
food supply business there than Dig
ging for gold Port Valdes is little
town of only few hundred residents
but now has a transient population
reaching into the thousands. Mccoy
bought few potatoes off of boat
and sold them in a few hours so as to
clear sl1. If he can keep that up,
he's all right.
Mr.. Carthe5,g- and wife have gone
farther up the coast to Cooks Inlet.
Ed. Edwards did not like the looks Of
things and has returned to Seattle.
The others Of the party have gone
into the interior. They have to cross
glacier nearly twenty miles wide
that will take them fifteen days or
more to cross. This journey is about
as difficult and more dangerous than
the Chileoot pass, but when the glac-
Ter is passed the journey is about
over as the gold fields are just on the
other side. The Herald will publish
one OF their letters next week.
