-'NATURE'S
A VFoiultrful llouo In nn rlxonn. Cnnon
- * " flat JltUlt.by MHH * .
It is a grand -house , and , < to build ono
like it would cost millionsof dollars , if
it could bo' done at all. And yet the
man who ; lived in it had hardly $1 to his
name. But then ho < didn't buy the
house , because it was made by nature on
the rooky walls of Subinu canon in
Arizona , thousands of" years ago , and
has been ready for an uccupunt over
since.
The man who lives in it is a pros
pector known as "Miko , " says the San
Francisco Call. What other name ho
has is not known , and besides , it don't
matter. He says ho was going up the
canon ono day a year or so ago when
ho first saw the place , and thought it
wus a house built by man. When ho
saw his mistake ho bimply took posses
sion. Mike's houbo is truly a most de
ceptive piece of nature's handiwork and
a very useful ono. It is on "tho canon
walls , probably 100 feet above the bottom
tom , and a flight of natural stone stops
lead up to its.
It is hard to convince one's self that
it is not the work of man until it is ex-
amined.closely , when its enormous size
alone would make u person know differ
ently. It is only ono story , but the out
side wall is ovorlOOfeethigh. The door ,
which is in good proportion , is over
twenty-five feet high and the room on
the inside roaches up and ends in a
black vault that there is no tolling1 how
far away it is.
When Mike wants a fire ho just makes
it on the floor , and the smoke curls up
to the top and disappears somewhere.
This is somewhat strange , us no water
ever comes into the place and the smoke
cannot bo seen coming out anywhere.
But it very likely goes through berne
fissure into a cuve beyond.
Bub Mike doesn't cure whore it goes.
Ho is satisfied with the convenience , and
thinks he is the best fixed prospector in
.the mountains. This house of rock is
most strongly suggestive of Egytian
architecture , and also bears u great re
semblance to some of the cuvo dwellings
in the Salt river valley. The thing is
an interesting curiosity , and , although
It is the house of a prospector now , there
is a strong possibility thut it may in the
past , have done duty as the home for
some members of the lost races of this
strange country. '
Hurutho Iluttlo.
In ono of thec cases at the Army and
Medical Museum there is a long row of
small test tubes containing bacterial
organisms of savoral , of the most dan
gerous discusosi.known to the medical
profession. The exhibition is a brunch
of that department under the
management xjf Dr. Gray , who
conducts experiments in the formation
of the diseabo garms and speculates on
their terms ot existence and powers of
resistance , Bays tlio Washington Post.
Among the collection is u tube labeled
"Asiatlo choiona , " which attracts more
attention thanjiny of the others. The
tube was filled with gelatine on Juno 22 ,
at the sumo time being inoculated with
cholera. In a 'little over a month the
disease germs-have developed and multi
plied to such an extent as to bo plainly
visible to the naked eye. In the open
end of the tube is loosely wadded a piece
of cotton , and although the contents
may bo been through the glass doors of
the case , Manager Flynnof the museum ,
kindly takes the tube out of the case
and explains the growth of the germs
when particular interest is manifested
in the culture by visitors.
The other day , while showing the
cholera tube to a party of visitors , u ner
vous lady approached the group and in
an excited manner inquired :
"Is thut real cholera you have bottled
up there ? "
'Yes , , Asiatic cKolera , " politely re
plied Mr. FJynn.
The woman threw up both hands and

and don't ' drop the boUlw. "

A HISTORIC OLD TOWN.
Hliulensbiirc , Nonr WuBhliiKton , Famous ns
'a Iluttlo < iroiinil.
Not fur from the city of Washington
lies the sleepy little town of Bladonsburg ,
made famous by the battle fought there
on the 24th of-August , 1814. The British
troops , following up the vanquished
Americans , reached Washington , but ,
though occupying it only ono dav , they
in thatshort , time burned the capital ,
the oxceutivo mansion , and other gov
ernment property. Pretty Dolly Mad
ison , whoso husband was at that time
president , fled from her homo , but not
until she had made sure of the safety of
Washington's portrait by Gilbert Stuart ,
which she did at the risk of being
captured.
Bladensburg is.porhaps almost equally
celebrated for its delicious mineral
spring , and what is kuown as the "Old
Spa" is to this- day much frequented by
the people of the neighborhood. From
morning until night there are groups of
people , principally colored , who btund
about the spring talking and awaiting the
opportunity to drink. Barefooted little
darkies scamper up with pitchers and
jugs ID carry home that best of drinks ,
and many of them who come in convey
ances bring with them demijohns for
the same purpose.
Near the "Spa" on the village street
stands an inrj which glories in the high-
sounding title of ' "The George Washing
ton Hotel. " It undoubtedly sheltered
Washington during his stay here and
bhows unmistakable bigns of its old ago.
The stream of water known as the East
ern Branch , and which flows around the
edge of the town , was once of sufficient
depth and breadth to float largo ships ,
the produce of all thosurrounding coun
try being shipped from hare. The
waters have gradually receded , so that
now only flat-bottomed boats or steam
launches can be used on it , and the place
that was oneo of considerable commer
cial .importance . is now a very dead little
town. On the spot whore once stood the
famous RSss tavern there is now
nothing butu ruin.
A walk of less than a mile from Blad
ensburg brings ono to the spot where ho
many celebrated duels wore fought. It
was hero that Commodore Decutur and
Captain Barren mot , the encounter end-
ing.in . the death of Decatur. Ho sur
vived long enough to bo convoyed to his
homo on Lafayette square in Washing
ton , whore ho died the sumo night.
The celebrated Cllloy and Graves duoi
was also fought hero , as well
as many others by persons of
loss prominence. Those woods ,
once so Hilontr and chosen for
these murderous meetings , are now con
stantly resounding with the whistles of
passing trains between Baltimore and
Washington. Another year will prob
ably see the running of the electric road
between these two cities and the laying
out of what is intended to be the most
beautiful boulevard in the world.

Two Texas cowboys recently had the
novel experience of traveling by rail
over the Missouri , Kansas & Texas roaU ,

they seemed to feel uncomfortable from
the time that tlio train pulled out from
the point that they got on out in the

sleeper ono of them said to the other :
' Bill ' have to take

oflorn your hoofs if you expect to put
your boots on the top of that seat. "
Bill did so and then Boomed pained
and surprised when the porter told him
that passengers were not expected to
put their feet on the plush-covered
seats. He toyed with his gun until the
porter retired When ho rolled a cigar
ette and lit it and the conductor
showed him whore the smoking recepta

annoyed. At supper time , when uil of
the passengers on the buffet gave their
orders and the two cowboys gave thoirs.
tolling the porter to bring them "all

to bring them plenty of sardines , " they
handed the porter a $5 bill and were sur

Both of them said , "That settles it. If

AN HISTORIC CHA.ni.
Guncrnl Alfred Still'n ( Jump Stonl Htuwoil
Away in Drue More.
An interesting relic of bygone days is
just now lying in the back room of
Nash's drug store in Sioux City , ways thu
Journal. It is an old oak and carpet camp
chair , with arms on it miulo of a couple
of stirrup straps , the whole so hinged
that it can bo folded away in very'small
space. The chair was owned by General
Alfred Sully , having been made for him
by a private buldier when he , as a raw
lieutenant from the United States mili
tary academy , first joined the Socjnd in
fantry in 1842 , the regiment then being
engaged in the Seminole war. With the
close of this war the chair wont with
Sully to the great lakes , along which no
was on jiurrifton duty till the Mexican
war. After Veru Crux had fallen Sully
was bent north on recruiting duty , finally
landing in California , and it was in this
bamo chair that ho sat when he received
his commission as captain in Febru
ary , 1849. Four years later Sullj was
ordered to the aid of the governor of
Oregon in his campaign against the
Rogue riVer Indians , and through many
a night in the forest wilderness the old
chair served us his cjuch , for it iso
constructed thut it may make u fairly
comfortable cat. In Djjan'j3r 18VI ,
Sally was ordered to Now York , and it
was on his voyage thither that ho was
first separated from the old chair.
While coasting oAung the southern
California coast the ship wa ? wrecked
in u gale , and it was not until ho came
to Sioux City in 1858 that the rude but
comfortable bit of furniture was restored
to him along with his other effects. It
followed him through his campaigns in
Minnesota , Nebraska and Dakota , and
was with him during bib operations
against the Choyerino Indians. Tlio
civil war having broken out in the
meantime , Sullv was ordered cast , and
in 1801 left the old chair with .T. M.
Bacon of Sioux City until ho should
return. James river , Fair Oaks , Mul-
vorn Hill , the Virginia and Maryland
campaigns were fought before he re
turned to the west as ojintmuidor of the
Department of Dakota , having earned in
tlio meantime the rank of h.-igudior
general. It was then that the
people of Sioux City presented the
general with tlio dwelling which
formerly occupied the bite of the old
Chase resilience on Douglas street , and
here the chair found an honored place.
Then came the expeditions against the
Sioux and the Pottawuttamios. In these
Sully gained signal distinction as a
frontier fighter. Tlio records of White
Stone hill , Ta-kiih-ha-kuty and the
skirmishes in the Bud lands earned for
him the rank of major gono.'al. Through
all these campaigns the old chair parsed
without a bcrutc.li , and today the oaken
logs and buck , hardened and polished
with long use , look as if they might out-
lust muny generations moro of soldiers
and bavages.
On his removal to Vancouver General
Sully left the chair with Mr. Bacon , who
previous to his death promised it to A.
F. Nash. The other day when the Bacon
stock was removed the cliair was turned
over to Mr. Nash.
An old volunteer soldier who followed
Sully through his northwestern cam
paigns was looking the old clmir over
"Vos " said ho ' 'that
yesterday , , , oak
and curpot concern could tell many a
story were it gifted with a , tongue. I
can face the old man now ( for we liked
him and always culled him the old niuii ) .
I can BOO him with his logs stretched out
after a long day's march or a particu
larly trying bush fight with the rods ,
the old half-gallon jug sitting
on u cam ] ) chest at his side ,
a tumbler in hand and his clbjw
resting on ono of those strap arms. Sully
never took his whisky In homeopathic
dosos. His hat was us apt to bo under his
feet as anywhere , and his good blue army
shirt thrown open at the nozk when Ilia
weather was hot. Ho had u profound
antipathy to anything like dross parade
in actual service , and his eurtness to
many of his subordinate ofllcors tvus
largely provoked by their foppishness
and assumption of superior airs toward
the private soldiers. It was a remark
that Sully made while boated in thut old
chair that got mo into the guard house
ono day.
"I wui at the general's tent consulting
with him about the building of some
flat-boats that wo needed for transport
purposes , when in walked a lieutenant
jimt from West Point. I hud noticed the
vountjMor down among thaofllcorV tonln

When lie entered Hully'fl tent a spotless
handkerchief protruded bctwoou thn
brightly tmrnliuicd buttons nt hU cont. i
His hair was correct , and no drlllmas- '
tor could have found fault with his ea-
lute.
" 'How are you , sir ? " asked the gen
eral , and klukt-d a stool over toward the.
lieutenant and motioned him to bo
seated. The youngster took the scHt
and answered very politely that ho was
entirely well. .lust then the gonem' '
caught a whiff of the Perfume which the
lloutonnnt had sprinkled rather freely
upon his clothes , and perfume on. light
ing clothes wns SullyV pot aversion. ilfi

versation proceeded and finally ho said :
" 'And you're out here to light the
Indians , o'h ? Well , sir , I've been cam
paigning it for nearly thirty years now ,
and 1 have never stunk half as badly as
you do , sir. "
"The lieutenant fell off the chair and
I Riiorteil , and was promptly sent to the
guard lioiiso for doing It , for Sully was a.
disciplinarian. The general lot mo out
at supper tune , and an 1 passed his tent
ho beckoned mo over , poured out a glass
of whisky for mo , and without the least
reference to my imprisonment , throw a
leg over ono arm of that chair , and rest
ing his head on the back of It looked
tip through the brunches and soberly re
marked , 'I'm afraid those red
skins will smell us a mile away tomor

despondent the great Indian lighter
dropped asleep. "
INDIAN SOLDIERS.
Clinngri ItidlcHtln * ; Their 1'nllure In the
Scrvlcp.
The War department has directed that
company I , Fourth infantry , and ttoow
L , Fourth cavalry , shall lo } mustered
out ; and troop L , First cavalry , was
mustered out several days ago. All
three are Indian organisations.
In view of the strong desire hitherto
manifested to obtain Indian reeruitH ,
nays the New York Sun , this atopia very
significant ; and n'.mio oliieors uro dis
posed to read in it the beginning of the
abandonment of the whole system of
Indian companies In the army.
One trouble is with the red men thorn *
bolvos , for many of them are taking ad
vantage of the now system of dibchurgo
by purchase to buy their release from
the army. That , of course , shows dis
satisfaction with the restraints aml
duties of military life. In one ease just
spoken of. it is stiid thut there WUH such
u rush to buy discharges that the uuthor-
ities suggested a consolidation of Indian
companies , and thereupon came u hubbub - '
bub of opposition , and disbtuidmont was
resorted to.
The enlistment of Indians in tho.reg
ular army , forming companies of their
own , with white officers , but with their
own bot'geants and coporulshas always
been an interesting experiment. It hay
hud much in favor of its practicability.
To begin with , it hid the experience *
of other nations , which , after the subju- ,
gallon of suvugo tribes , are accustomed' '
to form contingent : * from among them' '
for local service , olllcerod by tiie con
quering race. England , Franco , Russia
and muny oilier nations oiler familiar ex
amples of this practice on u very largo
scale.
Our red Indians of the west wore par
ticularly promising subjects for such an
experiment hero , because individually
they were considered among the best
soldiers in the world. Bravo , capable of I
enduring great labor and privation , J
skilled , in woodcraft , excellent horse * ,
men , adopts with tlio rifle , they have j
many admirable qualities for the hard
est Campaigning. They are also fond of'
show and of martial movements. Thoirl
eupubilitiy el obedience to Orders and |
their fidelity has boon shown1
in the service rendered by the
orguni/.cd Indian police , some
times against their own tribesmen ,
and in critical emergencies , as , for ex
ample , at the capture and death of Sit
ting Bull. Besides , Indians hud for a
long period boon regularly enlisted in
the army as "Scouts , sometimes tj the
number of hundreds , > that the ehungo
to full coinpauiiu of them ws less of an1
experiment.
The government also needed them ;
for , btraiige as it may hccm , with only
about 2oUOO enlisted "nion in the army ,
and a nation of 05,000,000 to recruit from ,
there is always miiuti difllculty in keep
ing the ranks full of desirable men. It
was therefore hoped that tiiu Indians
would bupply u cOi'tain number of com
panies of cavalry and infantry , just as
organizing the colo.-ed regiments had
provided lor tour out of the forty
menu.
But there have been difficulties in the
way. The Indians , it appears , llko tlio
cavalry better than the infantry Borvleo.
Then they have , of cjurso , in their res
ervation system , u totally difTerent lifo
from that to which tlio native con
tingents of foreign cjlonial , armies uro
accustomed.
Still it may bo hoped that the. infer
ence drawn from the recent mustering-
out of those companiesua to the eventual
abandonment of Indian enlistments is
unfounded. Life in the army is un
doubtedly an education for the red mem.
It accustoms them to obedience and self-
biipport. It gives u hitfo outlet to the
murtlul spirit which comes to the young
men with their blood. It touches thom
to look on the government as more im
portant than the triba , and fits them for
American citizenship. Wo uro prob
ably correct in surmising that there will
bonofiiioh utrosi under Secretary La-
nnnt in encouraging the organization of _
Indian companies as ttiero WUH'under'
Secretary Pi odor , with whom the pro
ject originated ; hut there is no warrant
yet for the assumption thut the Hystein
will bu wholly abandoned
.
