The curves in the t are innumer- able. Looking out ahead, it seemed sometimes impossible to believe that the engine would follow the sharp curves; but the track proved firm, and we were not plunged into the foaming current, as| seemed at times imminent. I have only one criticism to pass upon the grand canyon of the Arkansas. There was only one place where our train had a chance to straighten out. 1 think there ought to have been just one more curve thrown in at that place. There was one break in the canyon, and here was a thriving field of several acres of cabbage that would challenge in size the growth on any Eastern agricultural tract. It was the only thing which broke the primeval nature of the region for miles and miles. | At Salida, a typical western village of mushroont growth, we took the Leadville branch,and in something over three hours our train climbed the heavy grade which leads into the most notorious mining camp in America, if notin the world. AT LEADVILLE. The time chosen for a glimpse of Lead- ville could not have been more. opportune. For a year or so things have been going on in a very matter-of-fact way there, but the act of Alderman Joy in smiting Cowen, the city editor of The Leadville Herald, had thrown the camp into a fever of excitement, renewing a large measure of the recklessness which characterized the early career of the town. Cowen close to death, apparently, and lynching was freely talked of on the streets and voeated in print. A glimpse of Joy, the brutal bally who so shockingly mu- tilated a popular newspaper man, di impress me with a sense of his pug propensities. He wasa coward at heart, | and rather cunning and crafty than open- |1y murde i In fact, he was of a quiet, rather than a noisy disposition, Still, Leadville hesitated to put its city official out of the way, despite his mani- festly foul record. The town had evi- dently quaffed a draught of civilization during the year that made it less willing to act, although still free to threaten., One ¢l cteristic little scene on the street way illustrate the degree of pro- gress made. Joy, being out on bail, ventured forth one morning and was soon on the street by a growling throng of indignant ens. The en- counter took the form of an angry dia- logue between one or two cronies of Joy and the incensed crowd., The latter openly remarked that Mr. Joy should be prepared to die, as he certainly had only a few hours or days, atthe most to spend on this mundane sphere, In fact some immediate menances were made, and one or two of the more impulsive patted their hip pockets cheerfully and suggestivel, Finally the crowd dispersed, Later in the day 1 was in the postoffice, and Joy was passing ont unattended, just as Mr. Abbhott, the wging editor of the Herald, entered. ch cast o black look at the othe Meanwhile a blockade had occurred at the street crossing outside, and the editor caught up with the obnoxious alderman. or a moment the two stood scowling at each other in silence. Then a gap occur- ved in the teams, and Joy started forward, nervously glancing back as if in doubt, advanced a little wa and then retreat ed, and waited for Abott to take the lead, The incident illustrated the alder- man’s real coward He dared not walk in front of the offended editor. They are also having an exciting rail road war in Leadville just now, The nde, which is a veritable reaching out with its 1,700 uge arms, and grasping the wealth of the entire Rocky mountain district, is the only road at present ol ing the city, numerous lines have been pre The South Park division (narrow gauge) of the Union ¥ cific has been paying the Rio Grande Briareus, 1 $100,000 rental annually for the privilege of running itstrains over the latter's tracks from Buena Vista, Notice has been given that this lease will be vacated nd the South Park folks are hwrriedly con structing a line of their own. This action has brought on the war, Each is doing it best to thwart the other, As matters stood when I left the town, thu South | Park had full permission to cross the ne cessary streets in getting into the city, but | any enginecr o1 conductor assisting to man i platform, and the warmth aflorded by the snow sheds was perceptible. Some had headaches on account of the rarified at- mosphere. But the magnificent panorama from the summit, commanding a vie Colorado for many miles, and def; description, amply compensated for all these temporary inconveniences. Having made the descent success- fully, our train hurried along orer a more level country and into Gunnison, the prosperous young city of Western Colorado. At Gunnison an observation car was attached to the train, and we were s | viewing the splendors of the Black yon, through which the de | waters of the Gunnison river cou 1t is impossible to speak vagantly of this canyen, which has but just becn opened to tourists, and which is quite as grand_if not as savage—as the more famous Here arose the maj nd near by, on the opposite side of the | channel, the Chippeta falls provoked | expressions of admiration. Now we crossed tributaries, or ¢ ' as some of them are called, on short but lofty iron bridges; and now the train pssaed imme- distely under overhangng masses of rock that must have weighed hundred of tons. Especially beautiful are the cascades which occasionally leap down the sides of the canyon. So delicate and silvery is the spray, that the cataract looks like a long white bridal veil. Looking up at the giant walls makes the passenger di No poet of romancist ever conceived anything half so grand. No fairy tale ever hinted at such picturesque munifi- cence. At last wo escaped from the canyon, and hurrying by such incipient cities as Montrose, Delta and Grand Jun the last named a village of some 1 habitants, we crossed the Gunnison river and entered Utah, Asif inrecognition of the escape from Colorado, a region of desolate wastes was substituted for the country just traversed. Fora great many miles no house was encontered. An oc- u madly casional whisky bottle beside the trac lone told of the onward march of civili- | zation in this benighted section. Yet it | was mob monotonous, Tike most strotches | | of desert. In ithe distance the a | La Sal mountains formed superb back- | ground pictures.

Fresh trout and all kinds of gamo awaited us at the eating houses whero we stopped. Indeed, the train paused once or twice to let off hunters and anglers, Sabbath desecration | is lamentably common_ here in the West. The miners either work or go on & spree, which is hardly preferable. The farmers mow their graing and dig their potatoes, The tourists fish or hunt. The citizens go on an excursion to some neighboring lake. Ex, —— The Hula-hula in Honolulu, | From the Overlund Monthly Not n MOONs Ago caine an ancient | { mariner.

Suddenly there came chorus of voices from the building sing- ing in unison a funeral dirge. 1t was the farowell of the doomed man's follow pri oners, a ceremonynever omitted by them. The sun was gleaming brightly over the still, smooth water, the dark green foli- age scarcely stirring in the gentle breoeze, and amid all the quictness and beauty of nature, this wail awoke in the heart thoughts so sad as never to be forgotten [ to one’s dying day. All at once the prison doors were flur wide open and the criminal, & man of small stature, came forth with a priest and soldier on ecither side, the fe mer holding in his hands a erucifix, while he | oceassionally leaned downand encouraged the doomed man, Immediately came the verdugo, exceutioner, wearing a dark dress, having upon each of its sleeves an embroidered lndder, the insignia of his offic Two drummers followed beating the funeral march It being a Spanish custom on such oceasions to loo en the dvum snares, the peculiar rattl they produced was far less agreeable than the muffled drum we are accustomed to hear. The garrote was erected near, and directly North of the prison walls, at a place called La Punta, *‘the Point.” It was with difficulty the poor wretch could walk to the spot, and he scemed frequent- ly on the point of sinking to the carth. The instrument of death stood upon a wooden platform and was composed of an upright picce of scantling with the iron collar and 1&ver attached, while below was a rude seat. THE SPINAL MARROW CRUSHED, Arriving at the foot of the platform the death sentence was again read, and the alguacil de corte—corresponding to our Sheriff—asked the prisoner if he had any- thing to say to the people. He me shook his head, by way of reply, and was at once scatcd, his legs tied and his arms pinioned, with the hands crossed on s breast and the collar fixed about his neck. At this point of the proceeding the verdige pulled from his per son a long, bright ki and handed it to the police who were it A black cap was then drawn over the prisoner’s fi and the priest began to recitethe (redo, Whenthey came to the words “His only Son,” the terdugo, by o swift and dexterous turn of the lever, Jaunched the soul of the poor wretch into cternity. There was but a momentary quiver of the limbs and a straightening of the form, then all was still, for the man was stone dead. The mode of punish- ment is far more merciful than the hide ous and bungling performances frequent ly gone through with at our gibhets. The troops then wheeled inw column and marched away to the beat of drums, and now came the strange sequel to this dismal spectaclo. As soon a8 the ground was cleared one of the police went forward and, seizing the verdugo, arrested him for murder, hurrying him to the prison where the Juzgado were still assembled. Placing him in their midst he accused him of having killed a man, and denounced him as a murderer. The Judge asked him what he had to say in answer to this charge. It is true,” replied the verdugo, Sthat 1 killed the prisoner, but I deny being a murderer, for, although 1 com- g his arms with badge—1 did it in the cause of justice, and in pursuance of the law, all of which 1 was compelled to do by virtue of my office.” “The accused is mitted the act charged—displac the iocent, and is dis charged,” answered the court, and thus the formula of Spanish Jaw wus satisfied. ! —" & Al Al Lother o the Chicago Inter-Oce I was astonished at the article in last Sunday’s issue by one D, M, Ric! not surprised at his defence fernal scoundrel Wirz so much description of the origin of Pr Spring in Andersonville Prison, statement that that spring was the result ot heavy raing in August, 1864, washing a gully in the hillside botween the dead line and stockade, is absolutely false.

Undoubtedly, if exposcd | to cont | but they are not likely to develop it. | | For example, a farmer had his hogs in a| small pen destitute of grass, with no wate spt a muddy pool, which soon | wis made as vile as possible by the hogs. After a while the hogs began t& die in a more profitablo hog | considerable numbers, with symptoms resombling cholera, The owner was alarmed, took them out of the pen, turned them on a patch of green rye and gave them water from the well, The discase was checked and the deaths ceasod, How may greon food be most cheeply provided! = Ryo is the crop best adapted to this purpose, in the region west of the Missouri. This should be sown early in the fall, on well prepared soil, and if the growing season continues late, so that the rye is likely to joint, it must bo fed | down closely, The best condition for it | to go into winter is when it covers the | ground with a thick mat of low AV 08 with but little tendency to shoot. Rye in this condition is fit to turn on as soon as growth begins in spring, The amount of feed which two acres of such rys will furnish, is surprising. If not fed down too cloge, and the stock be turned off about the middle of May or the first of June, the rye will still makea fair Hogs are somotimes loft on the | until it fills, when they will pull it | Town and cat the heads; but this practice is not commended. This is a time after the rye is a foot high until it is in milk, that fuu_,(u do not eat it well. A better | plan is to have a field of clover, or of | clover and timothy or orchard grass,ready | | for the pigs when the rye is too large to | be longer available. Whe the rye is getting too large, the clover is in the | best state to turn upon. The clover will | do well until about the middle of June | when, if the weather turns off hot and [ dry, it grows quite slowly., Lt is woll to [have u patch of oats sown near and ready to tide over this| time, 1 not needed it can grow for the harvest. During the hot weather of July, Au st and September none of the | er f nauied above ean be fully relied on, | and this is eepecially true where they have been fed too closely. Sorghum or brown dourra may be sown broadcast about the last of May and again the mid dle of June to be used i July and | August.
