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 !

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.
Drop a stone , and tha splash It would
make upon striking the water could not
jo soon. Even the noloo the river makes
is not audible , and the stream sooma to

deep rent is seen otreching far away to

are tall tress and rocks and bare brown
illls. Ono questions why the canyon was
nade and how whether by the rlvor or
ormed by volcanic action. 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. All other canyons
of the wild southwest , where rivers de
light to wind in darkened places , sink in
to insignificance when compared to this
of the Rio Colorado.

HERMIT LiIE ON THE HUDSON ,
A Near Neighbor of .Fay Gould nnd
Cyrus \V. 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.
To thoroughly euro scrofula It Is
nocetsary to strlko directly at the root of
the evil. This is exactly what Hood's
Siirtaparllla does , by acting upon the
blood , thoroughly cleansing U of all im
parities , and leaving not even a taint of
ecrofula in the vital fluid. Thousands
who have been cur d of scrofula by
Hood's ' Sarsaparllla , testify to its won on

Uo llloli In Mineral ,
Denver Trlbuno-KepubUcnn ,
There is juss now quits an cxcitcmen
regarding the radijcavery of an ancien
milling dlsttici in White Canyon SA :
Juan county , Utah. 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. It is a
tard country , and those who contemplate
aklng in the now cimp should go in ( { oed
shape and fixed for a throe months cam
palgn.

neat remarkable women that ever these
tarts know was Abigail Coolldgo Good-
tow , who has just died at the ago of 03 :
oars. She was born In Bolton , and
noved to this place when young. My in-

now dates back moro than half a con-

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 "

of Her Second Courtship Herself.
New York Ilorald.
In her ccxy rooms at the Murray Hil
Hotel , Mr ; . Stratton , bettor known as
Nit. Gen. Tom Thumb , and yoara ago
as Lavlnla Warren , B t yesterday aftsr
noon and talked to a Herald reporter o
her approaching marriage. It ia a goo :
while since the lltllo Indy first bestowee
her winsome smiles upon an American
audtonco and prattled in n naive bn
quito intelligent manner to crowdoc
houses at BO much n brattle , but aho Las
not grown any since. She is ntill the size
of a 6-year old infant who has discovered
no undue precoci'y ' in soaring rapidity li
life. She is as bright and chatty M ever
too , and years of wedded lite with the
departed General have not wcanod her
from certain coquetries of manner which
it appears , proved lone ; ago irro3istiblo to
the iinpondinc : bridegroom. The latter i
the Count Prlmo Magrl. Ho hni chosen
to bo professionally known as Coun
Rosebud , but the authenticity of hisclaim
to descent from the Hagri family , his
birth at Bologna , and his right to certain
ancestral estates , are undisputed.
Mrs. Stratton's displeasure haa been
aronsed , it seems , by the currency given
to ber proposed nuptials. 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. "

to bo simpered and blushed again , '
