Ho has climbed factory chimneys nml scaled edifices of all sorts , until ho lint ) become | so familiarized with the work that ho mounts a stuck of brick work with the snmo ease that ho would drink a glass of boor. Wntson was busy nt work Tuesday nftornoonj while n crowd of curious persona stood In the street below waiting for him. to drop. Ho hung suspended from u , rig composed of u chair at tached to n couple of ropoa. Around his waist ho had taken tlio procYiution to secure another ropo. In removing the paint and ether material from the tin roof Watson had used acids that had somehow got sprinkled on the ropes. Tlio acid burned through the ropes , and without the slightest warning one of thorn qavo'wny. The crowd yelled , and scarcely had their shouts died away when the ether rope , on which such a sudden strain had been imposed , also gave way. The clialr tumbled to the street below. Watson dangled from the rojjo tlmt , had been passed around his waist. Ho swungto and fro in the air as ho cried to the excited crowd below to help him. He had fill Ion a few feet until the slack of the rope had boon paid out , but ho preserved his com posure. Ho shouted instructions to the crowd , but it was only when some men climbed up inside the stcoplo that his voice could roach thorn. As ho swayed back and forth , UK ) foot from the ground , the crowd in I ho street looked on in ex pectation of seeing him drop every in stant. Finally a ladder was taken to the top window of the steeple and pushed out nnd up toward him. Ho managed to reach it with his foot , and while pairs of hands steadied it below ho loosened the rope about him and do- scondcd amid the cheers of the crowd. OAL1FOHNIA CONDOB. lllrtl Ciipturril by n lluutur on the Kcltfo of tlio Dosurt. Archibald Campbell , writing to the San , Diego Sun from Ltiguna , on the edge of the desert , under date of August 1 , says : Today as Henry E. Clark wns riding near the lacuna ho noticed n largo bird among some carrion crows , eating at a steer wliich had died from a rattlesnake bite. It llow'up into a tree , whore ho shot ihwith u ride , and the shot broke its thigh. It then ilew away among utmio rooks vhoii ho threw his riata ever it and caught it , and it tried to got away nnd it nearly unhorsed him. Ho gave it anolhoTf shot through the wing and disabled St. Ho brought it homo and it measured < J feet 3 inches across the wings and 4 fco't 4J inches long from the beak to the end of its tail. Valentine , the captain of the Indians , says it is a femalqaud not near so largo as the males. The males have the under part snow , white , while this is pretty dark. I think it is thacathortos vulturinus , also , qajiedlfho California vulture , which app f acfy03 the condor in , size and.ha3 , , , wingp .bvon longer in proportion. ; ! t is yoryjlihlo inferior to the condor in sprcail-ylipWings , which natural history says ften spread to rnoro than ton feel. Last , Sunday , ns.a party of us wore out/on the high peaks overlooking" the desert , three of the birds kept circling around overhead , and now and again by far of the biggest of the birds would swoop down suddenly toward us and make such ugly demon strations that the Indies got scared and wo all left on that account. I think their young wore in the cliffs above us and they wanted to ecaro us away. The biggest was whiter underneath than the other two , and I think that It was one of the smaller birds that was shot.

Snnkn Unit Illttcn Him nnil tlio Cnne Wn * tlruont. Lem Lawson of Soabury , N. Y. , is siHuothlng ot a backwoods naturalist. For instance , nt times ho watches the bugs under n tree in preference to fish ing for trout , even when trout rise read ily to the fly. llo carries small turtles about in his pockets nnd loads mice around with threads about their necks , llo is a prime favorlto with the dogs about the settlement , because ho often gives them a squirrel , a bird or a llsh , but most remarkable of all to many baekwoodmon was his fomor fondness for snakes. There is no more fondness for snakes in Loin's mind now. llo had nn experience with ono lust week to remember which is to make Loin shud der. der.In In the pasture at the lower end of town , says a correspondent of the Now York Sun , in n long , lank nnd very quick bull , owned by Ike Fruier , nnd the bull had a very important part in Loin's ex perience. This bull IB of a mild dispo sition. All the young'pooplo of iho vll- latro like the beast , which they call ' 'Gangsy , " for ho allows thorn to pull Ills horns and a half-dozen or more- got on his back while ho gallops around the lot much swifter than any of the horses hero , being guided by "goes" , and "haws" quite us readily as a horse is by reins. ' Lem was going up the trail to the old Prazlor clearing on last Thursday with holly. Ho picked it up , and with his customary disregard for ether people's feelings shook its head toward the boys , making thorn run and shout with fear. Ho amused himself for minominutes in this manner , and then , just as two men who are boarding at the postmaster's came around a bend , ho took the snake by the tail and , lifting it high in the air , with a quick motion snapped it. The head of the snake fell on the disoiieaged hand , whore two of the teeth tore two scratches u half inch long on Loin's wrist. Lorn was about to laugh at the mis hap , when 0113 of the men raised his hand and said : "Good God ! It's a copperhead ! " Lem's face turned pulo and ho stood helpless a moment gazing at his scratched hand and then asked for whisky. One of the men brought out a half-pint flask u third full. Loin drank it at ono pull , and then started down the trail on a run. When ho disappeared the men and boys looked again at the snake and found it was only an unusually light- djlored garter snake. Th > n they thought of Lem running for life , and concluded that ho would stop at the sut- tlomont and get hilariously drunk. But they were mistaken about his stopping thero. Ho asked ut two places for a horse , but found the horses were back in the woods skidding logs. Then ho came to Iko Frazlor's , where , hear ing shouts of .boys' und girls' laughter , ho thought of the bull , long , lank , but , above all , swift. Loin was going to Black Lake village , whore he could gut a doctor two doctors if he wanted them. Rushing up to the door ho gasped to Ike , who sat mending u broken fish rod : "Lommo take your bull copperhead bite goin' ' tcr die I reckon. " Iko mumbled something in hia oxcitomon which Lera thought was "Yes , " and with that rushed out of the house , leaped the garden fence into the pasture , snatched u paling from the fence , nnd with his best speed ran to the bars. Tearing them down , ho rushed to the bull , sur rounded by children , swept two girls from the bull's back , and then , leaping up himself , ho began to pound the bull with the paling. The bull was headed toward the bars , while beyond was the trail to Black Lake. Tlio ton miles to that town , except fern n few slight knolls , is all down grade und in some places very steep. Down this trail Lorn and the bull dashed , leaving the children gaping in wonder. Ton rods from the bars his hut blow off and bottled in the It ail , while u. . Hock of chickens feeding near by ran with Hap ping wings and screaming cackle. Iko , the bull's ' owner , came to the door , with lishpolo in ono hand nnd jack- plane in the other , and shouted to Lorn not to "run that critter so , you blamed fool. " But Lorn neither heard nor cared. To his mind it was a race for life , with the "odds ajj'in mo. " About 1 o'clock that afternoon people in Black Lake village uuw u foum- oovered bull with a lull man astride , whoso logs were sometimes striking the null's ' holly and sometimes spread ( fit almost horizontal , with ono bund on the bull'.s horn nnd the ether waving in the air. Tlio combination was Loin Lawoonand Iko Fruzior's bull. lie rode up to Dr. Longsido's door , and tumbling oil the bull , staggered up the stops und into the olllco. What treatment ho received is a mutter of inference. About -o'clock the next day the two city men came into Black Lake and inquired for u wild- eyed man on u long , lank bull. AB they asked thin of thu llrst inun they mot , u liguro on n rod und white hull rounded the corner und with shouts of drunken glee , pounded und gored the bull on till lie recognized the two men on the buck- bard : ) , when , with u whoop , ho bald. " "Thar ain't a ( hie ) durn snuko in the country can kill Lorn Luwbon. Not by a ( hie ) sight. " Then with Ma uiub pounding the un- fortunuto bull , Lem raced again through the Btroot , this time headed toward the settlement. An lulrrnitliiK African roojili ) . At the Berlin Anthropological society Mr. Morousky has given some curious particulars about the Kondoh people in the German district on Luke Nyussa.

WOMEN IN THL POLITICS OF ENGLAND Tlio Orntory of DnniolV Intcr Irving' * I.cnr nnil Sntvlnl'fl Otliollo yuoor Thing * About l'ros Women on tlioVosierii l'ros. In nn instructive article on English politics in Harper's Ulchnrd Harding Dixvls contends tlmt "tho part women play In the election In one of the things which no American can accept as nn im provement ever our methods. It may either amnso him or shook him , but ho would not care to see Itadoptcd at homo. Tlio canvassing in the country from oot- tngo to cottage ho can understand ; that scorns possible enough , It takes the form of n polite visit to the tenants and the real object id cloaked with a few vague inquiries about the health of the children or the condition of the crons , and the traotllko distribution of cam paign documents. But in town it is different. The invasion of bnoholor apartments by young Primrose dames Is embarrassing nnd unnico , nnd is the sort of thing wo would not allow our sisters to do : and the houso-to-houso canvass In the alloys of Whitoohapol or among the savages of Lambeth , which results in insult and personal abuse , is , to our way of thinking1 , u simple Impos sibility. The English , ns n rule , think wo inllow our women to do pretty much as they plcaso , and it la true that they do In many things enjoy more freedom than tboir British cousins , but the men in our country are not so anxious to got into ofllco , eroedy as they are after it , as to allow their wives , In order to attain that end , to bo oven sub ject to annoyance , certainly not to bo stoned nnd hustled off their feet or splattered with the mud of the Mile-End road. Any ono in England who followed the election last year knows to the wife of which distinguished candidate nnd to the daughters of which cabinet minister I refer. "I have seen women of .tho best class struck by stones and eggs and dead fish , and the game did not seem to mo to bo worth the candle. I confess that at tlio time I was to intent in admiring their pluck that it appeared to mo as rather flue than otherwise , but from this calmer distance I can see nothing in the active work of the English woman in polities which justifies the risks she voluntarily runs of insult and indignity and bodily injury. A seat in the house would hardly repay a candidate for the loss of ono of his wife's eyes , or of all of his sister's front teeth , and , though that is putting it brutally , it is putting it fairly. "It would not bo fair , however , If I loft the idea in the render's mind that the women go into this work unwillingly ; on the contrary , they delight in it , and some of them are as clover at it as the men , and go to as great lengths , from Mrs. Langtry , who plastered her house from pavement to roof with rod and wjiito posters for the conservative can didate , to the duchesses who sat at tlio side of the member for Westminster and regretted that it threatened to bo an orderly meeting. It is also only fair to add that many of the most prominent Englishmen in politics are as much op posed to what they call the interference of women in matters political as they are to bribery and corruption , and re gard both elements of an electoral cam paign with pronounced disfavor. Tlio reply which the present president , of the United States made to those enthu siastic nnd no doubt well-moaning women who wished to form leagues and name them after his wife , illustrates the spirit with which the interference of women in politics is regarded in this country. But then it is a new thing with us , and it is only right to remember that from the days of the duchess of Devonshire's sentimental canvass to the present , Eng lish women have taken a part in general elections ; that there is a perfect pre cedent for it , and when you have said that of anything English , you have jus tified it for all time to come. The young American girl who would not think it proper to address men from a platform and give them a chance to throw things at her , must rein ember that the English girl would not give the man she know a cup of tea in the after noon unless her mother were in the room to take care of her. And I nin sure the women in my candidate's cam paign almost persuaded mo that they , as the political agent declared , did more than himself to win the election. " The Oratory of Ilanlul Wolxtcr. Lord Chatham Is accounted the most consummate of English orators , soys a writer in the Century. In my youth I greatly admired that passage in his speech on the address to the king in 1777 , in which , roforrlng to Lord Suffolk , who had defended the eniploymo-it of the Indians in the war against the colonies , ho exclaimed , "Prom the tapestry that adorns the.se walls the immortal ancestor of this noble lord frowns with indignation at the dlbirraeo of his country. " It is a very striking p bsajio , but I once hoard Webster trny grander words. It wns en the 17th of Juno , 181 , ' ) , when I was ono of that vast throng gathered at Bunker Hill , which saw Webster raise his outstretched arm up to the newly completed moiiument nnd hoard him say : "It is not from my lips it could not bo from any h'uiiian lips that that stream of eloquence is this day to How , mii t competent to move and excite this vast multitude around mo. The powerful speaker stands motionless before us. " 1 felt the thrill which ran through that vast audience , nnd I saw their uplifted eyes anil blanched cheeks , nnd joined in that ro- nponslvo shout which told , as no words could tell , that wo had hoard one of the most perfect passages In all oratory. Webster could ulna bo dull in hib later years , very dull , Thoeo who heard him in his prhuo nro quite angry when ono doubts whether ho over could have been as popular an orator us Everett or Choatoor Phillips , Few now llvo who heard him in HIOM ) early days , when ho wae at his best. I , who heard him often between ISsO and 1830 , never heard him at his Iwst but once , nnd then only for n few minuted. The clrcum- btunces wore these : At the festival of the Sons of New Hampshire , gathered in the hull of the Fitchburg railroad in 1WI ) , Mr. Webster presided with admirable grace , and spoke of ills native state as her sons would like to hear her spoken of. His speech , though interesting , was not par ticularly striking until , passing from our own affairs to those of Hungary , then in her struggle for liberty , ho said : "I see that the emperor of liiisslu de mands of Turkvy that the noble Kusmtth and his companions shall ba given up to bo dealt with ut nls pleasure. And I bee that this demand Is made in deri sion of the established flaws of nations. Gentlemen , there is bomothing on earth greater than arbitrary or dcupotfc power.

The criminal eye vnrlos greatly in setting , but not so much in color. Sometimes it is deeply placed in the head as if it tried to hide , fearing tlio roaiilt of il own involuntary rovolntions. Sometimes it is bulgy , pro- tnmlvo like n frog's nnd heavy lidded. Such eyes , taken lu connection with some other signs , dotioto treachery , lechery , loquacity , mendacity nnd general - oral cruelty , with just enough cowardlco to prevent tlio criminal from doingmur der except inslduously or through others. .Of the criminal eve there are many remarkable anecdotes. The murderer , Pruncoscont , hud little about him to indicate - dicato the ferocity that ambushed in h)3 ) breast. Ills forehead was high and smooth , his beard waa plentiful. To most people ho rendered mtusolf rather companionable , by a certain cheap lace- tlousness that often masquerades as wit , and on account of this fcooial quality UYaiicoaooiil'a conceit was tolerated , and hit ) huge egotism did not have its full clinnra to repel people. But years be fore his crlmo , n young girl afterwards the Countess della Koccn who had never loft homo and who lacked experi ence of life , recoiled from him violently when introduced , and' refused to ecduro his presence. When questioned why she behaved thus towards ono who .stood so high socially , she unsworn ! : "If that man has not , already murdered people , ho will do BO. " ' This girlish prooheoy very soon came true , and when Lombroso inquired by what sign she foretold , HIO ! replied , "Tho eyes 1 saw him in his eyes. " The Hoiitlntrn Utu luillnni. The Southern Ute tribe was formed by the union of thrco tribes or clans , viz : The Weemimiohees , the Moaehos and the Capotas , writes Vernon % . Rood in tbo California ! ! . The Wocmlmtohoos have always lived on or near the land now comprised in the rcsorvution ; the other tribes or clans were removed' there about sixteen years ago. The government of the tribe is graded as follows : ileml chief of the tribe , chiefs of clans or subiribus , head men of bands. At the present time lynaoio , "the liv ing good Indian , " ia betid chief of the tribe and also chief of the Weominu- dice clan , the largest of the Bubtribos. Buckbkin Charley , whose original name was Horned Toad , is the chief of tlio Moncho clan , and Scvaro is the chief of tbo Cnpota clan. The clans are subdi vided into bands , each band numbering from four to ton men , and being gov erned by a head man or snbchiof. It will thus bo seen that a common citizen in Utchuid owes allegiance lirst to the head chief of the tribe , then to tlio chief of his clan , and lastly and leastly to tlio head man of his band. There is also a war chief , whet > o authority in time of war would tran.-cond that of the head chief. Buckskin Charley , who did hard lighting with other tribes before the days of railroads and white settlors- , wa'r chief of the tribe , and it.is . believed that in the event of a serious c.morgoncy ho would also hold that .olllca' ever the two other main Ute tribes , the Uintalls and TJncompahgres of Utah.

Tlio man's color was between copper and colToe , not very dark , and ho had a slender mus tache and scanty curled hair on his chin. Up to that time I had always made up Otliollo simply with my miih- tacho , but after beeing that superb Moor I added the hair on the ch in and sought to copy his gestures , movements and car riage.
