A last gllmpao of the buy of Sr n FrMicieco , basking In wnrm bright un- I'glit ' , dotted with white-winged ships ; a hit look * t gcoeii-hucd lillla , loading towftttl the Goldm Gate ; a flight of the houses of San Franciico , Rftlhetoi upon high bluff's and now crowded together in indescribable confusion ; and then the San Jcnquin valley of central California , with Its wide fields just beginning tc grow green niter their refreshment ol copious winter rnion , its mountain ranges extending noith nnd Boath llko two huge turns outstretched to protect the valley , end Its farms , broad and rich , covering the levels , dotted with troce. It win only a glimpoo ot Collfornit's gmlon thatl had. There was not llghl enough to B O much of the valley , and on waking lu the morning wo had pissed out of freshness and cultivation into barren and tratklces deserts. The blue clear sky was hid hy low-lying clouds which surged nguinftt the bills * surrounding the region and fitful gusto of wind blow hoav j drops of rain against the windowr of the car. Hero lonely etnatcd palms grow by the roadside and tofts of rank grass , brown and dead , were scattered over the rock strewn sands. Ihoro is a melancholy pleasure , after all , looking upon this Mohave dcseit , which presses so closely upon the productive valleys of California. It has a history all Its own , and could its story bo } old by the rocks and sand hills ono sees I should have an Interesting letter to post. Was the doaort an Inland sea , I wondtr , and were the mountains guarding it now the cliffs upon which the waves used to break ) Did a teriiblo heat rob the dry earth of Its waters , and are they never to cotno again ? So there is a Hock of eand birds sweeping over the grass tufts , frail , delicate beings with thin piping voices. They are sitters of the birds wo have often soon dattlng over tbohito sands of the sea cojst. Thcra flics a vulture , a magnified Now England crow , hunting for refuse and Diid.gBrbsge. I have board it tald thnt there is no coloring to bo seen on a desert Dili the distant hills bnvo a robbln's eggs DUO , the grasses are white-topped and jiMwn beneath , and the ground is mellow 'ellow , while overhead , at times , Ilia ky is of deepest blue , and oveii when clouded b a good background to the olors seen elsewhere. Far away in the north , above " \Vyom- ng , and again among the giant trees and lark basiltio rocku of northern Colorado , wo rivera have their source. They are Iny streams in their early days , pure as ry&til. cold ni ice , springing Into life imong the quiet nocks of a neglected ro- ion. Ono rivar is called the Groou and hu other the Grand , and both of them go weeping grandly forward , gathorlD _ ithor streams to their own , fed by brooks and beds of melting snow until away lown in eastern Utili amid a confused umblo of rod-tinged bonldora , they 031110 together and form the Rio Colorado. A rear ago I was camped by the side of the Sreou , just a little above where it joins ho Grand , and later I followed up the coursa of the latter river to near whore t was barn , and a month later stood upon a high range of mountains , thick with now , cold and treeless , and s\w where ho Kio Laa Anlmaa began Its journey brough the valleys of southwestern olorado to join the San Juan river , vhtch empties into and helps swell the i'za ' of the lllo Colorado. Having this ntimato knowledge of the birth of this raat useless river , which lovea to ran into ho wildest places , and through the deep cst canyons of any in Ilia world , I was ; lad to put up with the discomforts of an i&rly rising , that I might visit the place where U has worn its channel some 0,000 out beneath the surface of the eirth. The Colorado never runs In a straight Ino li it can possibly go crooked , and [ inch prefers hiding itself within a dark , deepcanyon to golngabout In the eunllght vhore people can see it. From the time t receives the waters of the San Juan to ho hour when It omptloj Into the Gulf f Cn'ifornla , below Yumn , It la a wild , angry stream , roamlngthrough Its canons t lirst , and then broadening out and lowing between stony banks. Its water. ] iroasyellow as gold-dust , and giowmud- dier every hour , and except for a limited .umber of miles the river is not ravi- able , because of its rapids , and whirl- _ oole , and high clilla of rock Talking with an old I rapper who elutcd his cabin with 1110 at Green llivor , I asked If he ad over explored the Colorado's canyon , tut north of which wo were resting. " 17" bo said. "Wei , not much , an' I on't bellovo nobody ever has. Deep ? Well , rather , an1 moco'n that ; 1 don't vant ( o go down the Grjen not a great istanco. Thar's canons enough on that iver to turn back most men. " Looking southward to whore ho point- d I could see a mass of red-huod and harply painted rocks rising about incDii- used masses , and ho ( aid that the conn- ry down there in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona wni all rocks and gulfs nd canons. Ho firmly believed that oven owcll never made the trip down the Colorado that ho ( aid ho did , for ho liought no boat could live in a river which was at once so boisterous and which ran through such deep places. Poach Springs Is the nearest point to ho Rio Colorado's canyon. The place it- elf , llko many another ( own that has it prurg up by tha side of the Atlantic and ? aciGu railway , is composed of a few mall houses set down among the rough > rown hills. In the near distance are iluo-tlnted heights belonging to tbo San 'rjmcleco mountains , and standing amid ho tall trees which choke the mines and aver the hill sides , are isolated pinnacles if vari-colored rook , tossed by tome tor- ibis convulsion , of nature Into every im aginable position and ctrred by time and weather iota carious nnd fantastic shapes. The read from the springs to the canon i a a downright slope all the way , for ha town Is oa a level with the top of the Ivor's cioyon , and leads to the water's Ido thousands of feet below. Starting t early morning , and when the clouds till hong in hoivy masses against the itllsldes , the viUajo wu son lost tight f , and our Day led out and down mong the rocks anil trees strewn over the of ountry , thiongh a region where a man as ot has done nothing to change the order f alhlrs , It was a wilderness , wild and haotlc , a place where rettlets spirits , oomod to walk about forever , may live , > vo for a vulture soaring ahead of us , o birds were to bo seen , and all anlroalp bat exist kept safely hid among the tree ] , for lore an urroya , deep but dry , was limbed Into and out of , and for hours [ liere was constant golcg up utd getting own rocky lills , while at times , from some elevated hill , the country lay spread out before and around us for miles , show ing its ecMiod faso and crumbling boulders ; its deep , rich colorings , and distant mountains , frosted with newly fallen snow. It was a rldo of jolts , am pulls , and jumps , hard for horses and hard for men , while the wild disorder of the scenery prepared uj , in a measure for that mightier wlldncss yet lo come when wo reached our journey i end , and stood at last besldo the boiling , hissing vellow.huod , and over restless river. What words are to bo to used , un aided by pencil or brnsb , when ono teaks to describe what the canon of the Colorado rado river really Is ? Its imanitude , its solemnity , the awful depth , the rushinj rlvor , Iho towering cliffs all tp ak to , us but wo cannot epjak of them. Man is dwarfed by nature , abashed by horgiaud our , silenced by the exhibition of her powers. Imagine the scene. A yollow- liued stream , rushing like a gnat of < ui ccrad wind along a rock-strawu bed am between a line of dark-hued cliffs. Lrok upward a thousand feet , and rooks look angrily down ; gaze up another thousand feet , another and still nnotho rand ihoro are the tame dark-browod monsters glaring down upon you and upon the river. Look up again , and now gaza for six thousand feet into the air toward the heavens , and you can stilt see rough- edged rocks , all outlined ngilust the oky , over a mlle in height away , throwing up pinnacles and towers ant domes , and isolated peaks , chipped auc scarred , and dark , mntslyo and irregular. The lie-lit of day Is dimmed , the place is full of loud , hoarsa roirs , the air is chill cd , and the river , laahed Into foaming fury , leaps madly along its conrao. HOM are shadows that Rembrandt would have gloried in ; here Doro might have ooplet' nature and added to his fame. Hero is Iho road to Danto'a sombro balls. Ono stands within the very bowels of the earth , with all light and brightness loil to view. Ho sees the work of ages , the result of a mighty power. The earth is cleft in twain ; it is n > though a mountain , tall and strong , had been halved by sonic sharpened owoul. Six thousand foot o ! atony depth I Six thousand feet boncalh the light of day 1 There are no pleasant smiles of nature to bo seen. No llowora grow , no shrubs appear , no birds are vis ible. Dark are the towering walls , an ? darker still the shadows , while the towers take on most uncouth shapes , and the river runs out of blackness to us , and in to darkness from us , a puny monster in comparison with its prison , a wayward child held in stern robuko. From the tops of the cliffs which form the C dorado's canon , the rivet winding at their biso Is llko a strand of gold. But it noedo strong nerve to look from the iroat height into the depths below.

But whatever ho cans ? , it la a strange freak of nature , rivalling , with its grand UGH , all other sights , inviting comparisons but chal lenging competition.

Field Living In n Cnvo. For moro than foity years , siys the Now York Herald , Wil inn SUhlton , better known as the "Hermit of the Sawmill - mill River , " has resided neav Irdngton , Wostchoater county. Ho is a patriarch lu appearance , till , well built , with long , whits flowing hair and beard , and nearly 80 yean of ago. Although a German by birth , ho speaks five difl'crant * languages fluently , and owns several acres of rocky ground adjoining the properly of Jay Gould and Cyrus W. Field. A cave about twenty feet square , dug in ono of the side hlllp , is the old man's only habi tation. The only entrance to this sub terranean abode is a hole deftly concealed between two rock * . Hero the horinlt has lived for many years a lifo of wonderful simplicity. His food consists mainly to vegetables , which ho raieos on-hls own land , iish caught In tha Sawmill river , and game which ho snares or shouts In the neighborhood. Ho cooks his own food and lives alone. . wears no shoes or Blockings , only a . cotton shirt waiat and n pair of blue troiueis. Every day of the year , winter nnd auramor , he dons this uniform and walka down to the Hudson and takes a bath. If ho finds ice ho breaks it and jurapa in. Ho haa occasionally adopted boys , whom ho has dressed llko himeclt , and has tried to force them to live the same lifo as ho own. The boys , however , could not stand the ducking in the ice- water. The hermit Is very reticent about his early lifo , and appears ( o bo in mortal fear of women. Bo is said to bo quite wealthy. Mr. Cyrus W. Field at one time wanted to buy the hermit's proper ty. The old man inked § 1,000 for It , and is needless to say still owns It. Many roars aye he kept a small private school near Hastings , bat his mannoia were so peculiar that ho swamped the en terprise. Iho Hoot of the Evil.

A letter received 1 Denver recently by on ollicer of the Denver vor & Rio Grande Railway states th the era hai been carefully assayed tin foand to or nuin ft value ranging fron $80 to $9,000 to the ton in gold , stive and copper. This country , now altracl ing conaidorabla attention , lies east of th Ooloiado river , opposite ( ho Henry moon tains. The Salt Lake Tribune has pub lished an account written by ono of th discoverers whhh throws cJiisldortbl historic light on the subject. It saya The exploration of the Wlrita Canyon bj our party Is duo to the tc.ucli which ha boon carried on by us to rediscover tli old Joicphiuo mine , and wo think it I now in our posiosslon. From the stu pondons surface wcrklngs , with a growtl of vegetation growlrg on it a half contur ; old ; wiih the largo old fashioned fhiin shafts and open cuts it is evident th . work was dona by the Spaniards , and a long time age. Wo can not dotormUio b the evidences at oar command whether i was cone by the followoro and sunccssor of Ooronado , thrae centuries ogs , or b the rolainorn of DoVarges , Pom or Yet mijo , the last ruler at Santo Fe , lifiy or eoventy-iivo years ugo. Wo are in clinoi to the belief , however , thatlt inut' bo the old Josephine mine , oald to bo o record in the old San Mi uol Chapel a at Santa Fo , and for which so much hunt ing has been done by the irroprocsibl mining prospootor in Northern Arizona Now Moxie and southern Utih. The Spanish legends Inform us tha about the jcar 1700. when DoNargos had retaken the Santa Fo country and th Tegiia-Spanlsh peao was made , it wa with tha understanding that all the oh shafts , drifts and p'acers were to ba iillec up. And according to ono author o of note , this was the end of mining bj the Spaniards In this country. A varied acquaintance with tha western Navajocs while prospecting in their country for the past throe years , loads us ta bolicvo tha mining was carried en in this count 17 fifty or sixty yoara. Old Spanish-speak ing Navajoos assure us that when they wore Munchachas and slaves among the Spaniards thy were worked down In deep inino ou the cast sldo of the Hont } mountains. The workings on thosurfaeo ] are about 1,000 feet in length , on a con tact of porphj ry and the black slata , nnd although an attempt was made t > cover them up , they are yet 20 and 25 feel doep. Wo have not had time or means to open it , and will defer a further do scrip tloii to the future. The White Canjon mining district lies on the cait sfdo of the Colorado rlvor , opposite the Henrys , and runs cast to the ho d of Whlta Canyon , mar the sjuth western base of tha Elk and Blue moun tains. The formation Is sedimentary , the surface and ere bodies lying flat , the foot-wall being a talcoeo "shale , end the rcof or hanging wall is a conglomerate o ! qaariz sand of a calcatoous nature. The mesas are cut by a labyrinth of canyons which expose largo bjclles of copper ere carrying gold and tilvcr. Wo have no finished our prospecting of the mlusra ! strata in White canyon , but hive made some eighteen locations. The ere bodies are from I ! to 20 feet In thickness , anc continuous oa their faoo from 700 to 3,000 feet. They'i'ra very rich in copper Oor best cs.aya in gold running high but not having any blasting material wH which to do any work , wo knocked off the surface with a hammer and which was badly bleached out. Wo do not know how much good ere of the highest grade wo have. Wo are returning with ampla supplies and on assayer , our intention be ing to ship a car-load of our best , and In the coarse of five or six weeks wo tnll bo able to speak definitely. Wo do not , at thts writing , wish the public to partake of our enthusiasm losl they become sulphided with disappoint incut. Our nearest railroad point h the Denver & Rio Grande Western at the Green rivf r crossing , Blake City , where a all mail for that party should bo directed. From th'at point to Dandy Crossing on the Colorado , at the mouth of White canyon , by our road is about ninety-five miles , and is a splendid country for the Denver & Rio Grande to build -'stub" over. At that point the Colorado is a beautiful stream , and there all the reduc tion works of the White Canyon mlnca will bo located. There are n jst excellent ranges for stock and grod building timber on the Henry , the Elk und Blue mountalni. The nearest settle ments ara on the Dirty Devil river in jfracs Valley , fifty miles distant.

My in- ormant's first recollection of Mm.

Besldo doing custom work sbo used ta take out stock from the shoo actory of Danlol Newton of Wostboro. ' . Fhcro was no part of tbo trade iut what she understood thoroughly. ' Soon after Miss Ooolldge , for she was , hen single , bought the John Green farm Ball hill , and built a homo thereon , In which she lired up to the time of her death. As a fanner she was known far " and wide. As a jndgo of borjcfloth ehe was regarded as llrtt-clasi , and in horse ockeylng she was a pronounced success.

She desired so she says , that the sacred mantle o : privacy should cover her private lifo anc that the public should only take liberties with such portlona of htr ex'atenca ' KB were devoted to their entertainment , Due the nowtpaper , it appear. , did nol consult her wishes , and have proiontct' various narratives of the wooing and approaching preaching wedding of the little lady , so that she ras constrained to toll htraal ; the facts of the case , that the truth might be known. .STORY OF TUB WOOING. "When the General died , " Bild BI . Stratton , "I undo up my mind to remain widow the rest of my life. Wo had traveled through Europe , Asia nnd Ana traiJn , and had been presented to and re ceived marks ot CDnaideratlnu from tha potentates nod most distinguished people cf every country. It was only natural that I should look for retirement after his death. But somehow the excitement of public appsararjces to which I have been used all my lifo was to seductive. To mo applause baa always been like stimulant. Even now , I am nervous sometimes and unable to sleep , I go before fore the public , and their npprooation first excites mo and then acts as HI opiate. "Woll , I appeared again , and lately , when I thought cf resting , I wcsmado an offer of marriage from Count Magii , which I have accepted. Wo are acquain ted now Eomo six years , " Airs. Stratton wont on. "It was , I think , in Spring field our party mot him and his brother. They had come from Italy at the instance * u manager earned Smith , and were performing through the country , Count Magrl is quito a musician , you know , Ho sings and playa , and his brother used Bconipauy him. Well , the General nd 1 were very much pleased with the Magrifl. They were far moro cultured and intelligent than most of the little people wo had mot , and the social rela tions , between us very , very ploatant. Perhaps I thould not say it , " simpered Tb Wi the little lady , "but the Count ban told Tbli liWi me that ho was smitten even then. Of Wi jousrel know nothing of this , but I always WiI ways had a deep respact and regard for I lira , and when ho proposed to mo I ao- opted him. " I'DST-NU'lTIAI , INTENTIONS. "What are your plans after marriage ? " the reporter asked. "Oh , we intend to go to Italy to llvo there. Not alwayn , perhaps , but at least a long time. I think I would ba con tented to re&t now , and I think Italy Is a iood place for It. It Is my husband's jountry. Ho is known there In another { luality from what ho is here. I think I Jhall l.ko . It. See hero is his picture , " ind the tiny fiancee banded up a photo- 'taph of the pl my brfdfgroom , who In. loed , Booms to bo a bright and intelligent little person. "Hols not dark Hka some Italians , " nid she , pa/.ine fondly at the picture. "Ho is not a lik'e thorn. " Then eho said that tbo papers were wrronR In fixing the day of her marriage. [ "Wo agreed upon the 20th of May , " laid ehe. "But the Count is cleeiroua of occurring sooner , at ha wanta to sail Italy , if possible , In Apiil. My man- igar , Mr. Sylvester B k r , haa booked for engagements up to the middle of I May. If ha can arrange it wo shall fore- some of them I am to meet tbo Count three weeks from to-day anil then all will be annuged.
