THE TRAIL OF THE GOLD SEEKERS.
BY Hamlin Garland
In making his explorations in the will
had a great advantage over his compan-
ions and all the parties which he encoun-
tered in his perilous and difficult journey
ings. He was not seeking gold, but eX-
ploring and studying the trail, probably
for the contents Of this very work; for
ne was a literary man and an author. lie
had plenty Of money with which he could
obtain and keep up an adequate outfit.
or course. he had to encounter dangers
and endure hardships. But his strong and
faithful horse bore him safely out and
back. and his treatment of the intelligent
animal in bringing him, regardless OF the
question which was tauntingly asked,
"Will II payY' 10 his home pastures in
Wisconsin is creditable to him and inte-
resting to the reader.
The work before us Is a combination
OF prose and poetry, and is not unworthy
of perusal in either aspect. In McClure's
Magazine for May Mr.. Garland favors
the public with some Of the same sort OF
poetry, If not the very same.
In many of our cities there are societies
for the prevention of cruelty to animals,
and under their kind auspices a number
Of poor brute sufferers are relieved. But
along the trails of the gold seekers TO
the Klondike are gloomy evidences Of UNI
aileviated cruelty to animals by whole
sale. and the greatest cruelty of ali is
mans inhumanity to himself and his
loved ones, in his thirst for gold, destined
not to be satisfied, and his bones may
slowly bleach on the perilOus wayside
near those of his unburdcned brOuchO.
The author met a woman, too, in the
wilderness. and a curious city Of the
dead laid out by one of the tribes Of resi-
dent Indians.
