ami thirteen minutes unexamile.l tn. e
forarhleof 100 consecutive miles un
der existing circumstances. We let Mr.
Lowdeii tell tlio 6tory of his wiM ride.
"In th latter iart of the year 1A
Adams & Co. and Wells, Far.o & Co.,
the rival exi-rusu companies, with Cram,
llodgers i'v- Co. and Kholes & Whitney,
the. coimeetimr comnanies between
Shasta and Weaverville, commence!
racing their exresnes with horseback
messengers. After many hard races
had been run, first one and then tlie
other winuintr, in December, lbol, it
seemed to have been arranged by the
chief companies that they would run
the president's message from San Fran
cisco to Portland on the arrival of the
mail steamer and then stop racing.
Great preparations were made for
the race, and all the fast horses along
the road were pressed into service. As
high as $100 vas paid to owners of horses
for the privilege of ruling them troin
three to five miles. Everything was in
readiness about the 28th of December.
Uorses were placed about four miles
apart by each company, every horse hav
ing a man to care for him, with an extra
horse to ride himself. At least that is
the way I had my stock arranged. Both
relays of horses were under saddle from
the 2Sth day of December, 1854, until
the 2d day of January, 1835, on which
date 1 made mv part of the race. I rode
for Adams & Co.
"The race was a very close one from
San Francisco to Tehama. Wells, Fargo
& Co. led tnMarysville. Between Marys-
ville and Tehama Lusk, Adams tv Co. s
messenger passed Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
rider, and the Mexican who took the
bass from Lusk reached Tehama hrst
and crossed to the Tehama side of the
river just as Wells, Fargo & Co.'s mes
senger an-ived at the opposite bank and
jumped into the boat.
Now mv race commenced. 1 sprang
into the saddle, with saddlebags weigh
ing fifiv-four pounds, and rode nineteen
horses to Shasta without touching the
ground but once during that part of the
race. That was at the Prairie House,
where Tom Flinn, the man in charge of
my horse, had got into a fight with tuo
man wiio Kept w ens, r aro a
horse, and had let my horse (Tom Mc
Turk's gray) get loose. I saw the situa
tion, and riding my tired horse a little
past where the right was going on,
sprang to the ground, caught the fresh
horse by the tail as he was running a way
from me and went into the saddle ovjr
his rump. 1 turned to the horse I had
just left wi;h the express bags, pulled
them over to my fre-.n horse ana went
on. I lost about one minute here. All
other change.-; I m.ide while the horses

A Irowuing Man's Eprlnce.
To prevent any person from interfer
ing with my design 1 jumped into the
river late in the afternoon Friday. No
one apiared to be altout at the time.
When 1 struck the water I immediately
sank, going down and down, and yet
being carried forward until I thought 1
would never again arise. A s"Xind roared
through my head; it seemed to mo it
would burst. 1 opened my mouth ant ;
attempted to breathe, being unable to J
endure the "pressure longer, but tuo .
water rushed in and 1 closed my mouth.
I was again compelled to oieu it. More j
water entered. The feeling was horri- I
ble.
Just when 1 thought all was over 1 ,
reached the surface of the water alxait j
fifty feet from the shore and U0 feet j
from where I had jumiied in. Near by
was a steamboat on which stood a man
with a long iHle with an iron hook on
the end. It took only a second to see
th se things, and in fact I had just time
to get one breath when I again sank with
iny mouth open. My past life flashed
before me, and I was again a child. The
picture of my father and mother stood
out in lxld relief. I reached out my
hand to them. The roaring of the water
sounded like the sweetest of music.
Suddenly I saw light and thought 1 was
in paradise. A large green held covered
with roses ami other flowers, whose fra-

felt as if I was being borne up ty some
winged messenger whom I could not
see, but whose presence I could feel.
I remembered nothing more until I
felt a rough jerk. My rescuer had suc
ceeded in fastening the boathook in my
clothing. As my body was being pulled
from out of the water the picture
changed; instead of paradise, the place
in which the devil dwells, with all ite
fires and swarming with hideous, red
dressed creatures and other things, pre
sented themselves in my mind, only to
again quickly disappear and leave me
in darkness. When I came to I was sur
prised to learn I had been unconscious.
Every muscle in my body pained me,
but my brain was perfectly clear.

A
Audirona as Ornaments.
Genuine antique andirons are compar
atively rare in New York, and they are
for the most part of simple design, al
though ornate in detail often. The very
earliest andirons were of wrought iron
and few of them have come down to
this century, especially in America.
One characteristic of early forms was
the curved top, ending in a diamond
shaped mass of iron, from y2 to 3 inches
in diameter. The goat's foot, not with
."Hvidfd hoof, however, is a common
characteristic of early form, in brass
well as iron.
Whm the andiron was developed as
an ornament, small andirons, called
creepers, came to be used with the large
ones. The latter were for show, the
creepers were to hold the logs, and per
haps to prevent them rolling out upon
the floor. The creepers were of wrought
iron, with fivut only ten or twelve inches
high, curving into a hall. J-ater tney
were used alone in small fireplaces and
imitHted and elaborated in brass. They
aro not uncommon at the antiqiie shops,
and they are exactly imitated iu wrought
iron by modern manufacturers and sold
at from $1.50 to 3 a pair. Another
comparatively early form is a wrought
iron strip with simply wrought iron feet
and a brass knob at the top. New York

see a magnificent stretch of river, whh

els that way often knows the spot, and
has heard the story of the death or u.t ,
grave's occupant. I
Manv years ago a mover was pa-M-- !

in the neighborhood, and. in fa t, the
population was spar.-e. His wife tooii

was talking with an Indianapolis friend (

said: j
"There is one thing that clouds my
early life, and that is that I do not know
where my mother is buried, l was ssiu
young when my father died in the new
community where we had settled. My
mother had been dead some years al-
ready. All I remember is that on a long
journey m a great covered wagon we
stopped on the banks of a river, mere, j
after some days, my father dug a hole
in the earth, and I have faint recoliec-
tions that it was a time of great sorrow.
for mother had died, and there father
all alone had buried her."
"Was there a great bluff along the
river and a road running near the spot
through the woods':""
"Yes; I can see the senenowpictnred
in my mind. I remember the road and
the bluff distinctly."
"Then, mv dear madam," said Mrs.

Curiou Fate of a Shark.
The steamship Kansas City, of the
Ocean Steamship company, which ar
rived here on Wednesday night from ;
Savannah, caused the death of a five !
foot shovel nosed shark in a somewhat ;
unusual manner. Off Hatteras Shoals, '
steaming along at the rate of seventeen ;
miles an hour, the steamship ran its cut- '
water into the shark, striking the fish '
square amidships so to speak. The
shark was unable to extricate itself .
owing to the intense pressure of the ,
water.
In a few moments the sharp stem had j
cut the flesh to the backbone, and this (
in turn breaking under the strain, the ;
shark assumed the shape of an inverted
V, hanging on either side of tiie bow
like an old rope, the head and tail being
still connected by the muscles of tha ,
back. Caught thus, the shark was
towed along by the steamship for some
300 miles, and "until the stop at qnaran- !
tine, when, released from the pressors
of the water, the body slowly sank.

A Toy Imln-try Festival.
A remarkable token of the iniportanca
of the toy industry in the ancient city of
Xuremburg is afforded by the great
gathering in one of the public halls at a
banquet in celebration of the completion
of the 300,000th model steam engine by
a well known maker. Among the guest s
were the heads of the municipality and
several industrial and commercial cor
porations. The little model which marks this
stage in the toy making industry of the
Xuremberz firm was constructed with
the latest improvements. It was adorned j
with a l.-mrel wreath, and exhibited in ;
the hall side by side, in order to show
the progress in construction, with a
model of the date 115. It is said that

Car Rails Five Miles Long.
The electric welding of street railway

been the subject of experiment for some

weld by electricity two pieces of steel of j
twenty-five square inches section, and ,
therefore a solid rail four or five miles
long can be had if required. The test
