At the time of which I write I WAS
settler in Dakota , north of the Noithei
Pacific road. Ono day in December
went to a ncighboting toun to tmnsac
Bonio biisinesa in connect'on ' with in ;
fanit :
At 2 o'clock I started elF for my fiftco
miles' dri\o dtio notth. Everything wen
well at fust the team jogged nlong at
good pace. kn6w ing that they were goiii ;
hoino , and I haidly noticed that the wim
had lulled until 1 saw a heavy bank (
clouds ahead of mo. I felt sure that th.
indicated a change in the weather , nn
made up my mind to gut homo as quick !
as possible.
'I ho horses responded to my call in
chcciful manner and rattled along nt
good pace I suddenly remembered tha
1 had brought no overcoat or rugs wit'
mo , nnd h d oven neglected to bring nn
gloves. The clouds in the north suddenl ,
began to liso and grow blacker an
blacker , and n cool wind came swcepiii
down ; In a few minutes the whole sk ;
was overcast with dcnso clouds and n fin'
dusty snow was soon filling the atmosphere
phoro nnd sifting into ovoty pait of m.
clothing. I was convinced that this wn
a ' "blizzard , " nnd from its appcaranco il
promised to bo ono of the wets
kind. Every minute the sky go
darker and the wind blov
fiercer , and every moment the cold In
creased and the blinding snow cam
thicker. I was now thoroughly aronaei
to my danger. I know that if I did no
roach some hcuso In a short titno that'
should bo lost on the prairlo and proba
bly froczo to death. I could not locate
my exact position from memory , and tc
see was Impossible , aa in the blinding
anew I could barely find the track before
me. I reckoned that at the rate I was
traveling I must have come about ton
miles out of the fifteen , and I know there
was no chance of being able to ranch
homo that night , for oven if the team
could have kept the track I should have
frczan in the wagon.
The wind was now honllng and nhriok
ing like a thousand demons , and ovary
demon volco in that fearful wind scorned
to scream out for the possession of my
little lest self.
The terror of my pooition seemed to
make mo oven colder , and aa I sat shiv
ering and shaking in the storm I remem
bered that a now danger had arisen , for
the next feeling would bo a aenso of calm
ness and repose indicating sloop , and be-
: ere it was everlastingly too late I made
up my mind to got out of the wagon and
; ry to walk by the side and load the
lorses , so as to keep myself awake. But
mother danger now arose ; the snow was
Jrifting into every little hollow and
piling against every little ridrja. The
lorsos irero quite blinded by the storm
md refoood to go ahead. They turned
ound with their tails to the wind and
.tied to run with the storm. My ringers
? ere numbed by the moat fearful pain
[ experienced and my ears were stinging
rlth the frost.
There was no time to bo lost. Seizing
lold of the horses' heads I held them
vhilo trying to remember about what
) art I was in. The extreme peril of my
joaition seemed to quicken my faculties ,
md I judged that I must not bo far from :
i certain haystack that I had seen in &
light hollow as JL drove past In the ,
norning. As the darkness of night had
tot quito act , in I thought could per- >
lapa manage to discover that haystack- ,
i > d then I could pull out onongh hay to
over myself or perhaps creep into the
tack Itself. 16 was a last desperate
ilort , and I modeup my mlad to try
t.
t.By carefully leading the horaos along :
ho ridge , I tried to note ovory. little
in the loft-hand sido. For a long.timoil1
llscoverod nothing to reward my efforts
nd the night woo fast coming oa , while
h& cold grew moro Intense and the wind
lowlod moro Ccrcor than over. Sudden-
y t thought I noticed a slight lull in the
lements , as bhough something , had
Token the force of the wind for a mo-
sent , which could only bo caused by
Dine budding or luystack. I immediately .
ad the team towards what I hoped was
ho haystack , and was delightedi to find
hat I soon ran full tilt up against the
ory thing I was looking for.
By dint of very great oll'ort I managed
o unhitch the horaes and let them run
ooee. I thought it was only fair to give
hem their liberty and lot them ran.homo ?
E they could find iho way.
And now my main trouble arose. I
ound I could not pull out enough hay to
aakoa covering for myself , and my
mnds wore becoming benumbed that I
raa hardly able to do any thing. By
his time the darkness of nirht had aet
n and to the other terrors woa added i
ho certainty that I must soon succumb
o the fatal drowsy fooling that was
itealing over me. I wanted to got on the :
oo aide of the track and Ho down out of :
ho wind and sleet. It was only by a
nest determined eihrt that I rouaod
uysolf and strove to think how 1 could
lave my life. , Again the exigency of tlte
langer seemed to sharpen my wits and I
law that my sole chance lay in sotting'
ire to the stuck and marmlcg myself by
ts flimoB.
My fingers were so numbed and pain-
ul that 1 could with difficulty find my .
Hatches. There were only a tow in the
box , I discovered , and the danger of not
being able to got a light in such a furious
wind made mo moro nervous than over.
L know that I must sot It afire from the
leeward side or the fire would Dot last
long , ior it had the wind to fan it there
would bo no chance of its continuing till
morning ; so I tried to light it from the
sheltered side. I first of all pulled out
enough bay to make a little pile , and
then I carelully struck a match by rub
bing it on my trousora. Fortunately the
first ono was enough , and I soon was anr
rounded by a nice blaze , The flames in1
creased rapidly and I thought the whole
stack would soon bo consumed : but luck
ily the snow that had collected on the
sides and top melted as the fire ap-
proscht a them , and in this way partly
sucdind the rapid spread.
In about a quarter of an hour I felt
thoroughly warmed through and through ,
except my feet and hands. These ox >
tiemltles'I now knew wore frozen , but
how much they were frozen 1 was unable
to tell. The heat thawed the enow from
the ground , and I was able to stand on
the bare prairie aod. Af tor a llttlo rest I
pulled a lot of hay , and placing it in a
heap , B t down and waited for dawn.
When I look back at it now it seems llko
a hidlous nightmare. Surely never W
there a more desolate position for a hu
man being , and surely the means tomvo
a life were justified. But at the time
the fact of setting another man'e Black
on fire never struck mo as .being unrea
sonable.
I sat and watched the greedy flames
llaro out and llaro up with the moat in-
tome Interest , My only hope was that
the fire might not go out. Toward morn
ing the last vostago of hay was gone , and
nothing remained bat the embers , As a
last resource I was compelled to stir the
ashes and stand in the midst of the last
rtnnlns of the fire , I was at times al
most choked by the fumes ns they
were swirled by the furious wind Into my
face.
face.When
When daybreak came I looked round
in the gathering light and thought I saw
a shanty down the "elough" ( volley ) As
the light increased I WAS able to BOO clear
ly , nmld the still falling snow , that It iras
a house.
The farmer received mo with oveiy
hospitality. Ho would not listen to my
pay ing'for ' the stack , but seemed delight
ed to think that it had saved a human
llfo from a painful death. 11 o drove mo
homo after breakfast , where wo found my
horses lying before my stable door , both
frozen to death.
WASHINGTON AND JJA.FAYKCXE.
Character of the Correspondence He
ccntly Discovered In Cniu-
Mil.
Correspondence of the Bnlllmorc Sun ,
CAMBRIDGE , Md. , December20. Som
months ago the record of a most Impor
taut , Interesting , and , wo may say , sur
prising episode in American history , wai
found slamboring in a box , hidden awaj
in a collar connected with ono of the old' '
est houses in Cambridge , once the prop
erty of the Murray family , and now belonging
longing to Col. Clement Sullivano , whoai
mother is a Murray. This record i
contained in four manuscript volumescm
embraces n correspondence between Win
Vans MurrayAmorIciu minister rcaklon
and envoy oxtraordinrry to the Nether
lands , and Gon. Washington and Alexander
andor Hamilton.
These letters were written after th
battle of Marongo had made Napoloor
the arbiter of Europe , and they extend
from the year 1797 to the year 1799.
This was the period whoa the young
American republic was divided between
federalists and republicans , and when the
destiny of its future seemed to bo trem
bling In the balance. Washington was a
federalist , and was supported with the
greatest enthusiasm by the brilliant Ham
ilton , while on the other side Jefferaon
was the leading mind. Those parties
were also known aa the English nnd
French party , because they were sup
posed to represent on ono side English
conservatism and on 4ho other aide the
French idea of a universal republic. The
term of President John Adams was draw
ing to a close , and the momentous- ques
tion was , who should succeed him ? Jeller
son aspired to tno position , but Gon.
Washington distrusted him , , fearing , if
ho became president , that ho would join
this country to Franco in a swooping rev
olutionary crusade.
At this time a subject of universal in
toroat was whether JSuafayctto , the idol
the American people , should leave
Franco and adopt oar country as his own.
Except Washington himself Lafayette
was of all living men ihe most popular
and the most beloved personage throughout - - !
out the United States.
Washington and Hamilton publicly
joined in the nation's loud acclaim of
gratification which followed the an
nouncement of Lafayotteft wish nnd > purpose -
pose to crocs the Atlantic and to become
in American citizen. Bat while they
nroro making every demonstration which
Invited his coming , and promise a wol-
omer they -as a matter of fact were most
itrongly and resolutely opposed to his
idopting any such action. To prevent
ho conuurvnation of such a design they
ponod aad carried on a correspond onoe
yith William Yans Murray , the Amori-
san Envoy to the Netherlands , who also
nformalOy represented our country with
oforonoe to Franco. They urged that
ivory obstacle should be interposed to
lis- coming and every possible expedient
e adopted. This correspondence gives
-history of this remarkable intrigue ,
or-as such' ' It must bo character-
zod. . Ik embraces tin lot-
era written ia conoction therewith. The
.
levout an& oincoro patriotism of Wa-h-
ngton was unquestionably the motive
b&binfluenced his conduct. 13 * believed
bat Jollorsanrs political tenets would ruin
ho nation , and for some reason ho was
onvincod tihat if Lafayette came to Amor-
ca ho would join himself to Jefferson ,
.nd'that in such event the balance of
mrtios would' bo destroyed , and- that the
frenchman's wonderful popularity would
arry Jell'oroon on a tidal wave to the
iroaidency. Tt > prevent this result they
lovotod their utmost ouorglos to prevent
* arotly what they advocated openly.

record of local steamboating dates ns fa
back ns the summer of 1817. U was lati
in the nfternoon of August 'J , in tlm
year , that the steamer Gen. Pike icachct
St. Louis. This was fho first nrrivnl of
steamboat nt this pott mid the first t
niako n test of her power against the cur
rent of the Mississippi north of Cairo ,
The Pike was a very small Bternwhecler ,
propelled by 0110 engine of low pressure.
Slip was built nt I'ittsburg , mid it ro-
quircd thruo weeks' steady work to conn
fiom there to St. Louis. The Pike
commanded by Cnpt. Jacob Heed , who
credited with ha\ing had charge of tin
lit at steamboat on the Mississippi
In 1819 two year , later , the ihdopun <
deuce , a small stornwhool boat from
Pittsbnrg , arrived hero , and after a day'i
stop to lot her officers nnd crow view th
village , she proceeded on her way to th
Missouri river , and after seven day'
struggle with the water of that stream
she reached Old Franklin. The settler
along the river were pleased beyoni
measure when it wna demonstrated tha
the wild river could not resist the progress
grossof steam. This was the first steam
boat to go north of St. Louis , The
booming days of the rider transportation
intorout at St. Louis were along from
1845 to 1801. Then n interruption occurred
currod , the result of the civil war
After the war hod ended , trr
years or more a revival sot in
and the Interest fairly prospered until
1870 7. After fthls an nbnoat vital blow
waa given to ntcatnboating by the prog
roea of the railroads , The fall of rivoi
buaincBB waa ovom more rapid than its
rise , and to-day it stands but n more
akolton of its former greatnesr. In the
prosperous days of the business every
available- foot of tbfl levee from Cherry
street on the north , to- far below Ohoutcau
avenue on the sontn , was taken as land
ings for steamboats. The old records of
the harbor'and wharf department show
that during those times there were sel
dom lees than thirty boats in port at a
time , and there were frequently as high
as fifty steamers lining the lovoo. Nearly

at discharging the cargoes of the various

It is a long room with great white marble

U filled without forty ladles , some iltting
