only two routes to take; onei by the
river, the other by the railroad. You
see an arid desert lies ali around the
town and person wandering. away

"He told me of one prisoner though
who made his escape, and after his
Indian trailers had spent several days
searching up and down the river and
along the railroad, he finally decided
that he had got clean away.
"About three months after that he
was driving with friend across the
desert toward the mountains, when
they came upon what at first appeared
to be spot where some one had camp
ed. Upon closer examination they
found some charred human bones and
bits of metal and he finally came to the
conclusion that it was his escaped pris-
oner, incinerated, cremated, by the
burning rays of the sun, in the middle
of the desert" j. S. B.

One of the entertaining features of
our holiday just past, was friendly
greeting by our friend Dan OConnell.
Dan seemed in excellent spirits, to
judge by the features of that grand
and noble countenance of his. "Well,"
says he, otis surely me last outing with
me old friends, and Pm going to see
the whole shooting match"
care you going out soon, Dan?"
"Sure, and can't We see me whiskers -?
that's me flag of liberty"
"WelI, Dan, L suppose you will find
your side-klck when you get out?"
"Sure, and l won't have to look long.
IT'S dead easy to find him."
"What kind of a looking fellow is
your chum? Does he look like that
fellow l saw you speaking to just
now?"
"NO, he's smarter man than that
square-head over there. He's tall and
handsome, something like meself.
He's fivefOot nine inches in his stock
ing feet, that is when he has the stock
ings, and when he hasn't any stockings
he's five foot nine and fraction. He's
something like meself, scarcely ever
wears them. He's broad and bony;
seldom fat, very seldom. Weighs be-
fore meals, about 159 lbs; after meals
1881. Eyes are gray and can tell a
copper from anything else in politics.
Well, he believes in expansion and free
silver, and gold and pleanty to eat.
His head, we'll it looks something like
the northeast corner of a butter-keg
turned upside down, very round and
flat on top. His nose is slightly bent;
looks as if it wanted to 60 around the
corner to get Whit of fresh air. His
mouth puts me in mind of barn door
in the summer time, most always open.
His legs are slightly twisted: left foot
looks as if it wanted to 60 north and
the right south. His hands are large
and he can carry the biggest dooky of
any on the road"
"Well, what is your friends name?"
"Well, I'll tell you. It's me old
standby, Dan O'Connell." Roxy.

know, has often been spoken of as
being just a few degrees hotter than
hades, and am prepared to stake an
oath that the statement is not far
wrong. When 1 arrived there, about
the middle of June, the rails on the big
bridge, which spans the Colorado river,
were so hot that the Southern Pacific

buckets, to keep them from setting fire
to the bridge. Oh! you needn't grin,
it's fact. Why the tin roof on the
Company's hotel, at the eastern ap-

the psalm are as follows:
For, 10, Thine enemies make a tu-

lifted up the head
They have taken crafty counsel
against Thy hidden Ciaes.
They have said: Come, and let us
cut them off from being a, nation; that
the name eff Israel may be no more In
remembrance.
For they have consulted together
with enc consent; they are confederate
against Thee.

AS the fire burGeth a wocd, and as
the flame setteth the mountain OF fire
