leaving Omahti Thurscltiy , August 8 ,
tlio Union Pnclfic-Stepenson coaching
party nrrlvca at the Yellowstone the
following Monday evening1. From
Omulm to the park wns a most enjoya
ble trip , und every place of interest
along the route was designated by that
piononr stage man , Colonel James
Stephenson , while Clnronco Brown and
Colonel J. A. S. Rood , of the Union
Pacific , busied themselves in pointing
out the Bconory along the famous
route. Leaving Omaha , and for a dis
tance of nearly six hundred miles , wo
were wheeled through the Inviting
ntrrlcultural district of Nebraska.
Largo Holds ot corn abounded in every
direction as far as the eye could roach ,
nnd shocks and stacks of small grain
dotted the Holds. It is ovldont that the
homo demand of thcso products will not
only bo supplied , but that Sioux City
can rest assured that she will have
nmplo material for her corn hive. It is
eafo to state that the general grain
viold of Nebraska this year will bo
equal to any of Jts predeccss
in average , while the ncreajro Is much
larger than in any preceding year.
When the western boundary of Ne
braska ia crossed It appears as if all the
olomontH of civilization and enterprise
HAD 1IUKN LEFT HKiriNO.
For miles and miles you travel through
nrid lands as void of vegetation as the
closortof Atacama. It grows somewhat
monotonous , hut as wo darted ever the
vast prairies , and now und anon shot
through a mountain gorge several his
torical places were reached. First was
Fort Steolc , a point near Rnwlins"Wyo. ,
whore the bluo-coats formerly held
forth , and about which there hangs
much undeveloped history of a criminal
character. The fort is no longer occu
pied by the regulars , and , like Babylon ,
wild beasts are making their homes
within its walls. The skull of a human
being , possibly that of a once "way
ward' ' Indian , is stationed on a post in
the center of the barracks , and It is
enid that this was used in early days to
terrorize the savages. At night it was
placed about a quarter of a mile from
the p.ist in a gprgo , through which ac
cess was furnished the Indians under
cover of the shrubbery , and a miniature
lamp with a crimson globe was
PLACED INfclDE THE SKULL.
The red light , visible only where the
eyes properly belonged , brought out
many an arrow from the quiver , and
many an Indian is said to have , lied
with fright after having driven an ar
row at it without effect , believing that
it might bo an advance guard of his
Satanic majesty.
Another stretch of country is passed
and Rock Springs is reached. ' This
country , though apparently worthless ,
abounds with , coal , much of the pro
duct of which dispels the frigid atmosphere -
phoro of many a llro-siilo in the city of
Omaha. It was at this place that the
terrible Chinese massacrco occurred.
Rock Springs is also a Wyoming hivin-
lot , but the indications are that it will
at no distant day bo the metropolis of
thordistrict comprising the highlands
of the west. Next we found purselves
creeping through the mountains at an
altitude of 10,000 feot. Here is where
the scenery of the Rockies begins to
appear in all Its grandour. One mo
ment you are being propelled through
n , tunnel enclosed by huge rocks , the
next you are rounding a curve with
mountains thousands of font in heighten
on ono side and a yawning chasm below
on the other. This is a source of great
enjoyment to the "way-backs , " butte
to one that is making the initial trip
it is anything but pleasant. An approach
preach of this character lands the tour
ist in Idaho. . ,
Idaho , in Indian parlance , signifies
"Gem of the Mountains. " Judging
from that portion of the territory
traversed by the Union Pacilic it is a
gem in crude form. But , as regards
the scenery. It perhaps surpasses that
of any district in tlio mundane sphere.
The mountains , with their receding in
clines and lofty peaks present an Im
posing sight ' to the eye , while the huge
barren rocks'strongly contrast with the
timid violuts and green foliage that
bloom and fade in the valleys and bo-
eido the mountain streams below.
Beaver Canon , a small hamlet at the
base of the main range of the Rocky
mountains , is now reached. This is
the place whore the Pullman palace car
was abandoned , < ind the tourists were
placed on board the gay Con con'
utagcs. Attached to each were
* BIX PHATCOma STEEDS
that awaited the command of the driver
to "Tako-or-up. " The stages used on
this occasion were those of the Weston
Stage line outflt , busking under the
cognomens of "James Stephonson" amr
"Thomas L. Kimball. " The party
dined nt the hotel , and while the coach
WHS being prepared for an ovorlanil
journey to tlio Yellowstone , atrip was
made about the city. In just ono hour
after the train steamed into
the station Colonel James Stophotibon's
clarion tones pierced the mountaii
air as ho mounted the vohlolo bearing
his name and yelled "all aboard.1
Beaver Canyon is about ono hundroi
miles from tlio low basin of the Yollow-
Btono , and the territory intervening is
anything but densely inhabited. The
distance being 100 miles , a two days
drive was required to snan the gap be
tween the designated points of civilian
tion , Leaving Beaver Canon , after i
drive of twenty miles , the party stoppoi
for dinner at a beautiful spout in the
famous Camus moadowH. Though at ai
attitude of 8,000 feet the atmojphoro
was delightful , and thu meadow grassei
\vore verdant. Hard by our camp wai
Ciuniis creek , a beautiful mountait
stream , while to the west was the pie
turosquo Oswagan , u vino-clad promi-
tory , where NOB Pierce , the great In
dlan chieftian , from whom n tribe and
nation derived their names , often
CALLKD HIS WAUHIOllSTOaBTHKIl.
Owing to the pleasant surroundings am
tlio fact that tlio Btago horses need roa
us well as the tourists , it was decided t
remain that night where the tents were
spread. After luncheon wo porambu
luted about the campus , cacortod by
Colonel Stephnnson , who took purlieu
lar pnins to designate every point o
interest. Several export marksmoi
wore among the party , among whom
was Dr. W. O. Smousn , of DCS Moines
The "Icfll-or-ouro" man shouldered hi
gun and wont forth as a rolontlo
warrior bound on the dostructioi
of lifo at any hazard. Game can bo
found In unlimited quantity runghifc
from ttie snipe that twitters from bo
liiud the rushes in the fat roam , to th
londoroufl oik thnt roama about the pral-
io , nnd n few of the "oldest inhabl-
iul8 ) , " the budnlo , were seen. In ono
lour's tlmo the "mountaineer" re-
urnod to the camp , ho had neither tlio
'cross northonlbntro33'but hobrouKht
n n consignment of prairlo chickens
hat helped to mnko up n sumptuous
meal on that evening.
Sundny morning another start was
nndo nnd n twenty-five milo drive
brought us to the Snnko rlvor.nn amber
stream noted especially for its intricate
vimlings. ' This is the midway point
jotwoon Beaver canon and the Yellow
stone park. Our camping utensils were
igaln unfurled arid n sumptuous repast
vns served. A ttoo of a few hours was
made during which time the tourists
succeeded in pulling in n string of
speckled trout that would make the tra
ditional lone fisherman green with envy.
\mong the gentler sox that constituted
; lie party , Miss Millie Stephenson
iroveu herself to bo
THE MOST BXI'BIIT ANOLKH
by bringing into camp some line speci
mens of brook trout. And still another
surprise was enjoyed , when another
wing of the partv returned from a short
trip up the mountains with the flank of
nn olic. They did not acquire
the crodid of slaying the
leet-footod nnimlil , but they
wasted of their ability to mnko n fnvor-
nble impression upon the mountaineer.
At this poin't Messrs. Cnldwell , O'Uon-
nclland Kooch , n trio of pioneers , who
remain in chnrgo of the way-station
during the summer season , tendered
their hospitality , and bolter and more
courteous treatment never was received.
These gentlemen make n business of es
corting tourists through the mountains
and around the impregnable forests.
They have resided on Snnlco river for
nearly a quarter of a century , and are
familiar with every stream , mountain
and point of interest to the tourists
throughout the west. In the bosoms of
the Hturdv mountaineers wo found
hearts temfor yet stern. They know
nothlncf'of the busy world , never soon
newspaper , nnd enro but for the welfare
of their dog , horse and trim , and the
people that arc placed in their charge
Lo bo pilottod through the uninhabited
wilds.
The trip from Snake river to tie Yellowstone
lowstono park could not buvo boon made
under more favorable circumstances.
First n broad level was crossed. About
every live miles a mountain rivulet with
crystal waters was reuchml. The bud
'
nf'tho streams were solid gravel , and
but little inconvenience was realized
in fording. After leaving the plateau ,
the main range of the Rocky mountains
was reached , and the ascent was begun.
Gradually the horses wound their way
toward the summit. First a htcop in
cline : again n yawning chasm ; again n
mountain gorge ; and still again a dense
growth of mountain pine impregnable
oven to the eye. This comprises the
mountain route. The stages rocked
backward and lorward nnd nt times it
appeared ns though they would
DEPOSIT THKlll PRECIOUS CAHOO
in the canons thousands of feet below.
But the drivers were men of experi
ence , nnd while some of tlio passengers
that were nervously inclined were con
siderable frightened , the journey was
maac without mishap.
At last wo reached the Yellowstone
park in all its pristine mngnillconco. It
is nature's cnmping ground. There is
but little to indicate the existence of
art. Those who came hero witli the
idea that they are about to sco n coun
terpart of the hanging gardens of Baby
lon , came out to bo disappointed. Qn
the outskirts of the park neglect is om
nipresent. What would and should bo
the finest forest park in the world
is covered to the depth of
several feet with broken timber
thathas accumulated from storms dat
ing back several centuries ago. And
this is the beautiful Yellowstone that
occupies such n prominent attitude in
the list of summer and pleasure resorts.
Those who inhabit the park state that
it would bo nn utter impossibility to
clean up the debris , nnd yet they
frankly admit thnt until this is done the
forestry of the park will bo but n small
feature of its attractions. There are
but few driveways in the park , the
principal ono being the road cut
through the forest by General Howard
and his men nt the time they were en
deavoring to effect the capture of Sit
ting Bull and his band in their retreat
from the Little Big Horn mountains ,
where they had but a few days prior ,
shod the blood of General Ouster and
100 of his bravo companions. General
Howard provided ills artillery with but
a rough roau through the park , as ho
hnd no time to spare in which to beau
tify or perfect his work , there has been
NO IMPHOVEMENT 81NCU THAT TIME.
The average tourist is provided
firearms of some description , but is di
vested of thorn as'soon as he enters upon
the domain of Uncle Sam. A detach
ment of troops is maintained at the
park and everything is kept un
der strict military discipline under
instructions from the secretary of the
interior. On n log cabin at River Side
was a plackard containing the rules is
sued under the authority of L. Q. C.
Lamar. This was btationed In north
western section of the park , at which a
detachment ol regulars is quartered to
preside ever the destiny of the game in
that section. It was at this place that
our party was divested of arms and am-
unition. This part of the baggage is
taken into custody , and is returned to
the visitors when they como out again.
The discharge of tire arms of any kind ,
or the maiming of game , or the defacing
ing of any material- the park is
strictly forbidden. The sale of liquor
is also strictly forbidden , but the tralllo
is carried on surreptitiously. Liquors
can bo had in quantity and any variety.
In my next letter I will tell you all
about the goyors and the freaks of nature -
turo as they are found here ; and also
how the story about blackmail by the
soldiers originated

When I first wont to Dakota its so
ciety was still in a formatlvo state , says
a writer In the Now York Mercury ,
'eoplo wore drifting in from all parts
of the planet , and there was a consequent
quent confusion of tongues , of ideas , of
"awa , of customs , that is Inconceivable
n the old staid communities ot our sun
rises states.
1 had settled for a spell in aScnmllna-
vian town the master majority of the
Mjnplo In the country , however , being
American , and it was the latter class of
citizens , of course , 1 rolled upon to sup-
Kir t my paporfor very few of the Norse-
non coultt read a line of our language.
Ono day , while I was sitting in in ,
olllco , a young Swede came in and hos I
.atcd hnlf way between my desk and
thu threshold. Ho was n handsome fol-
ow , with the fair skin , the bright blue
eyes nnd the sun-spun hnir thnt hnvo
chnracterizcd his people since the tlmo
of the Vikings.
"Welly I queried.
" 1 want n yob. "
"A whatV"
"A yob. "
I looked at him in suvpriso.
"Ho moans that ho wants n job , " in
terrupted the foreman , who had fol-
.owed him in.
"What is your name ? " I queried.
"Yon Yansen. "
"John Jnnscn , " Interjected the fore
man.
"Aro you n printer ? " I wont on.
Ho shook his bond. "I h id a yob in
Lho yowelry store nt Vunu'stown , but
the ycntlumnn wont on n yamborco "
"There now , " I interrupted , ' ' 'the
foreman will give you work , and I hope
you will make n good compositor. "
Well , John Jansen caught on as the
unclnssio call it at once , and was boon
cauible | of batting typo with the host of
them.
I heard that ho was paying his devoirs
to a certain dashing young Norse belle
of the town , and one night , needing his
services , for a galley hnd boon pied , I
went to the homo of his beloved in search
of him , feeling pretty certain I would
find him thoro.
Arriving at the od shanty I found
tbo ono window dark. I Knocked nt-'tho
door. In n few minutes it was opened
by old Christian Christiansen , tlio
father of the younir lady who had capti
vated my compositor.
"Is John Janscn hcreV"
The old man struck u match , lit a
cnndlo , looked at mo and said :
Yes ; but he's bundling7'
"Bundling ? "
"Yes ; in the bed yan. "
I looked in the corner indicated by
his indcjx finger , nnd there lay John
Jansen , and bcsido him reclined his betrothed -
trothed , both of them being well
wrapped in a huge red quilt.
I left without a word.
Nuxt morning when John came in I
mudo ready to reau him n lecture.
His big blue eyes widened \\itbsur-
iho at the first word of it.
' Why , sir , " ho said , "that's the way
poor people court in our country do. It
savcb light and fuel. We lie down with
out undressing and make pure love pure
love that way. "
And then n passage from Washington
Irving suddenly came to my mind , as
follows :
Van Corlcar stopped occasionnlly in
the village to cat pumpkin pius , dance
at country frolics and bundle with the
Yankee lassies. "
I am delighted to say that the disgust
ful custom is passing into innocuous
desuetude before the bright light of an
increasing civilization.
A FARM DROPS INTO A HOLE.
Fifteen Acres Suddenly Sink from
'Ililrty to Slxiy Foot.
To see twelve or fifteen acres of dry
land on a billsido high above the water-
level gradually sink until they go down
below the surrounding territory to a
depth ranging from three to sixty feet ,
is an exceedingly remarkable thing ,
snvs the Richmond Dispatch.
This is what may now bo seen on
Spring Hill , Mr. W. B. Gntlinir's farm
of 800 acres , which is located on the
west bide of the Appomattox river ,
about ftvo miles below tbo city of Pe
tersburg.
According to Ed A-ard B. Galling jr. ,
of this city , n son of the owner
of the estate , who bus just re
turned from n visit homo , there was an
"eruption" on this farm about a month
ngo which hud t > omo semblance of n
volcano , but after the upheaval there
was neither lava , smoke nor fire. This
was followed by n libsuroln the ground ,
small at firat , but which opened grad
ually until it was three feet wide , and
then came this depression , which is
soniewiuituliiiming in its character and
extent.
On the sunken area were oaks 100
feet high and numerous other trees of
gigantic proportions , which hnvo sunk
as they grow , leaving only the tops of
the branches peering above the walls.
The sinking of the earth carried with
it about twelve or fifteen acres of land ,
leaving nn ugly looking wall as solid as
grnnito on cither side , varyintr from
"
throe to sixty feet , perfectly "perpendic
ular.
ular.Tho
The upheaval of n few weeks ngo oc
curred at the upper end of this hillside ,
and following it appeared a crack or
fissure in the ground which was at first
small , but which widened gradually un
til it became three feet or inoro wide
and apparently without bottom. Ono
would drop rocks down in there and
hear them strike the bides , but not tlio
bottom , nor could any one sea the bet
tom. This crevice extended some eight
or nine hundred or perhaps a thousand
yards , and wont beyond the farm and
entered the Gilliam estate , adjoining.
The sunken place must bo twelve or
fifteen acres , perhaps not quite HO much ,
at the broadest point it is about ono
hundred yards nnd it wuunino hundred
yards long. The ourth that has gene
down is not broken up , though the sink-
injr lias boon very uneven. To look
down on this urea it presents n very
picturesque panorama. The lowered
district Is almost parallel with the river
and is in the form of an irregular somi-
clrclo , or , more properly speaking , a
bow. A most bingulur fca'turo of the
whole thing is thai thernisnii upheaval
in the river Justin front of this Dnsin ,
and it seems as though the earth had
passed through an underground current
to the river. Ttiis bar made its nppoar-
nnco suddenly during one night. It
projects a short way up outof the water ,
and would doubtless grow higher but
for thu earth being washed oil' by the
current.
There is n bold flow of water from ono
of the walls that is us clear as crystal
and tastes of iron and sulphur , The
water from this has covered about two
acres of the basin about eight fcot deep
and when the balance of the sinking
land bluill hnvo gene down to the love !
of the lower part the whole of this terri
tory will become a lake. The earth has
not changed its position nt all except to
drop down. There have recently been
landslides in the county but they nro
entirely different from this.

N , Switzerland , August
[ Special to Tin : Bi2i : . ] Wo are now
at Intoriakon , after ono of the famous
and foolish trips taken by the tourist ,
eomo of.it most pleasant , but part of it
,00 hazardous for sensible man or
voiimn.
Lakes Nouchatol , Thum and Brlonco
are as flno as tins world affords. Gen
eva is too largo to sco all on either side ,
[ loautiful towns dot the shores every
, hreo or four miles. There nro peasant
lomes in every nook and corner of the
steep mountain sides us far up as the
climate allows. Then como thu pine
lorests , and next the eternal snows on
iiuuiy of them. The railroad cars are
somewhat like those in America , and
ire far more pleasant than thoio in
England and France. The hacks , car-
horses , borrows and Jitters are
all slow here , They can't be otherwise.
During tills trip wo met many Ameri
cans , several of whom are known in our
Rtate. lion. John B , Alloy , ono of the
Irst advocates and directors of the Un-
on Pacific railroad , and General F.
1'olton and Mr. Whlttmoro , with their
iamilios , wo found at one of the summer
resorts. They were all well and happy
ttul full of questions about Omaha and
Nebraska.
Brluf mention of a glacier trip must
jo made. Wo pass ruins , small lakes ,
cascades and waterfalls , and hear and
see the Alpine horns. They are from
six to ton feet long , intulo out of pieces
of wood , crooked metal mouth piece ,
urge buglu cud , which is titled into a
woven box fruslram shaped like a pyra
mid and placed facing a smooth faced
clitT on the opposite sidd of the canyon.
Die plover swells himself up and blows
Ills short tune of a few notes , and then
iho echoes retuin. Tbev far surpass
my bugle , or clarionet imitation. This
must all bo paid for , as tlio Alplno
blower is at the road side with his hugo
liorn , where ho has his stand and ex
pects your few canteonai. It is worth
ill it costb.
\Ve are now at the base of Mounts
Tungfrau and Sillnrhorh and Schneo-
horn. from 11.000 to 14,000'feet in bight
nnd covered with otornul'siiovv.
Between thcso mountains are two
liugo glaciers. They nro known as the
unpar and lower glacier' ' , from their lo
cation on the Lutschenthnl , which their
waters form. It was ontlio , upper where
Dr. A. llnllcr and two gdidos perished
in 1880. A monument "tqlls their story.
Hero we tried our courage with two la
dies of our party , Mrs. Whittmoro and
daughter on horscbtiqk , with two
guides. Wo made the pass and visited
the canyon , ice grot.toe's ' , otc Hero
far in the solid ice , as blue n heaven ,
in a dugout grotto , wo found nn old
woman of over seventy vicars playing a
table harp and sing'ng'for n few dimes.
We are now whoro'ilil.'gO ; Tlio ladies
stop and so do till save your curious
scribe , who desires to bo another of the
few who dare climb to the stall up the
sides to the very top. Our
were so directed. An export
with ice nxo or hoe , which is an ingon- *
ions implement with a handle four feet
long and a long rope and spike shoos ,
came and asked , "Who'll go ? " Wo
volunteered , loavinc the crowd below ,
among whom was an Irish priest , who
offered up prayers for our safe trip. Wo
nro tied together with a double rope
and ordered to do as directed and fol
low ; we obeyed. Soon steps had to bo
cut in the steep sides and overhanging
ledges of bolid ice , and stop by step wo
ascended. Huge crovns&cs from one to
fifty feet wide and hundreds of feet
deep , on all sides us ; ladders must bo
climbed and foot-logs crossed to pass
thcso horrid caverns. Wo strike less
steep sidoB and can go faster and easier ,
btill all the time requiring the greatest
cure. Ono inch of n miss or over-stop
good-by world. Wo went on , some of
the t mo on clearest ice , than on small
morning on that huge ice field , until wo
must climb again , and climb and cut
and sweat , wo did till'tho very top was
ours.
There were 2,500 fuel under us of solid
ice , 1,000 foot on cither side and two to
bix miles in front of us , tilling two
larpo valleys.
Wo had not given n thought to our
return until wo attempted it. Then the
steepness , crevasses and dangers were
all below us and in full sight in front of
us. The ice was smoother and the lit
tle stones more treacherous , and tliou
wo wibhcd for tcrr.i firmn.nnd in ado
doubtful queries if we would over BOO it.
Our guide was an export , and
thank heaven could not speak
our liingungol Ho motioned cvorytning
and grunted fear and safety. On our
return we realized the danger of our
upward trip , for wlion he tried to cut
anew our old niches for steps , his axe
broke through. His hand in mine in
stantly trembled. A few more light
taps with the axe in ono hand opened n
huge crnvnss wide enough to swallow
several men and oh. how deep. Tlio rat
tle of the chunks of falling ice died
away in the deep distance. Wo crossed
thu cruel opening and down moat cau
tiously wo wont. Twice the stool goad
caught and saved our lives. Our knees
were somewhat inclined , to shako , but
courage wo must havo/anl ( so wo muster
ed it all. and finally mudo the trip with
the resolve that ncvouingain would wo
attempt such n feat , nor permit anyone
olsu to do it. J. W. LOVE.
STYLES OF HAIR CUTTING.

without giving any further instructions.
The idea of getting up such a fashion
plate suggested itself to him ono day
while looking in the window of a photo

It copyrighted and has applied fora

of properly getting up a fashion plato ,
ho would go to thu park or tomu public
place , or oven on the , street , IInd a suit
able subject and induce him to hnvo
his hair or board trimmed in the style
most becoming to him , then have him
photographed , front side and back view.
The fashion plato shows forty-eight
dilforont views. There nro seventeen

The other morning I witnessed n scn-
Btulonnl scene on the district railway ,
says n writer in the St. James Gnzotte.
got into the train at Gloustor llond
Station. Seated opposlto mu were n
pale , middle-aged lady nnd n slim youth
linrdly out of his toons. Next to them
was n burly-looking 'squire , evidently
up on n visit. Wo were going lown-
wnrd , nnd at South Kensington n thick
set young man got in who plumped him
self down by my side. Ho had a lighted
clgnrotlo in his hand , nnd ns thu
pungent blue smoke curled into the
.ndy's lace she coughed and looked dis-
-rcssed.-
"Tbo youth sntd : "This is not n
smoking . " "I'm
carriage. not smok-
.ng , " retorted the other , "and Idrrj
say it will keep in until wo get to the
next station. " "Tobacco smoke makes
my mother .ill , nnd I must nsk you to
put out your cigarette. " "I''ii not
smoking , and I shall do nothing of the
! dnd. " llThon I'll make you , " said the
[ ad , whoso face puled. Ho arose , when
the other put out n fist , a single- blow
from which would probably have crip
pled that poor youth.
And now a singular thing happened.
The burly 'squire , who had remained
passive , quietly produced something
llit glistened , and before you could
count three there was n click and the
young man with the cigarette was hand-
cXitfcd. Said the burly ono : "You'll
pick up your cigarette and put it out of
the . window and then you'll apologize to
J.i Lho lady nnd young gentleman for hav
ing i brought a lighted cijiaretto into a
non-smoking carriage. If you behave
yourself decently I'll lot you go at the
. next station ; if not , I'll hand you over
it [ i the company just as you are , and
t they'll thank mo for doing this little
job. ' " As the 'bquiro-dotective finished
t the speed slackened and wo rolled into
the Sloano Square station.
Before wo left it the cigarette hnd
boon clumsily picked up with both hands
nnd dropped out of the window. Mut
tered apologies were made , nil thnt t
caught being : "Verv sorry won't do il
again hnd no'iden. " The darbies were
slipped off , ttio door was opened , nnd
our compartment contained ono the loss.
Wo tried to draw the ' "squire" between
Sloano Square station nnd Victoria ,
whcao he got out , but beyond n slight
smile ho would make no sign.
