Mysterious Rep Rock Rinag, Col., February 256. -As 1 sat, last night, in a miner's cabin, about a half-mile below here, in the gul:h —the cabin of a miner who has trugded and climbed and prospected these a cient hills for more than 20 years, an like many others, has fairly less of this world’s goods than he began with—the conversation, quite naturally, drifted to the events of ‘‘oid timey” in the moun- tains, My friends has a vast fund of en- tertaining incidents relating to this sec- tion, and so, after the usual [n}w-fillmu and cheering cup, he inquired if 1 had ever heard of the Fapinosas g 8 comparative tender-foot, (that is, a new comer), and quite unfamiliar with the stirring occurrences for which Colorado was in its earlier years noted, I h-q to confess my utter ignorance of the subject he had broached. As it proved to be an interesting and tragic tale, I will attempt to reproduce it here; but I cannot hope to give it in the uncouth yet forcible words of the bronzed old man who re- lated it. In 1863 the settlement of Colorado was but 4 years old. The gold excitement had brought into the territory, rowever, a large, hardy, and peculiar population. Denver (Auraria as it was originally called from the discovery of auriferous deposits in that neighborhood) was but a small cluster of shanties and tents set up for temporary occupancy. Aside from this there were few towns, save in southern Colorado, where the Mexican eloment had drifted and established in- significant settlements which could boast of little besides a name. Kresh discove- ries of gold were being made, however, and Russell Gulch was fast developing what subsequently became an important himself upon ong arm, he fought like a wounded tige His unerring aim hrought down two of his advasaries be- fore a second bullet struck him and laid him dead. 'The other man, the younger one, was eviden'ly unh: by the first volley, for with the agility of a goat he sprang into the rocks, scrambled away, and made his escape. Thewe two men were the notorious Es- pinosas, outlaws from Mexico, two cousins, This was discovered when the body of the dead assassin was examined, as well as the saddle-bags, which were iount near tha fire. In buckskin bag sus- pended about his was an illiterate Spanish manuscript written by the elder Espinosa. It consisted of a singular prayer and what was evidently intended a8 a statement of the purpose for which he had set out upon this mission of blood, From these it was learned that he had begun as a religious monomaniac. His father it appeared had been guilty of murder, and, 80 ran the manusoript, this present elder Espinosa had been impolled by his patron saint to commit these deeds for the purpose of expiating the father's sins which had been visited upon him. To do this he was to number 50 victims, and to go on, on, on until this was done—but all his victims must be white men. Not until this was accomplished could he hope to merit fa- vor from his ruling spirit; never would its smile fall upon him and his father’s n be atoned until this was done. With this task before him, he enlisted a cousin in his cause, and together they started north from Chishuahua. It was a trail of blood they left behind them, From a rocord the elder Espinosa had kept he had at that time murdered 30 white men, 27 of of whom had been killed in Colora- do, after leaving Conejos. Ho wasa large, coarse, hard-visaged ruffian, while his companion was small, and, as near as could be judged by those who saw him on the day of the encounter, of no particular individuality. 1t was evident that gain had played no art in this mission of the elder Espinosa. one of the bodies of his victims had been robbed as had been noted by the poopie of the neighborhood where they were found from time to time. The arch-assassin was meanly clad in buck- skin, and there was nothing in his saddle- mining centre at Central, Black Hawk, and adjacent points, A few hardy pio- neers had pushed out beyond and settled Breckenridge, Fairplay, Oro City, while down by the foot-hills, like sentinels to the fastnesses above,wore Colorado City, once the capital, before it was removed to Golden; Canyon City, Badito, and other mere specks I'xlpon the then almost unbroken region. These were all, at bags beyond what has already been men- tioned, save ammunition. Murder alone was the object of this maniac. The scouting party searched several days for the younger Espinosa, but with- out sutcess. No trace of him was ever found. The head of the dead outlaw was cut from the body, and was taken back to Fairplay as a trophy of the remarkable chase. For years the skull was in the best, mere handfuls of people, but all were earnest, determined, hopeful men. The search for gold had led them out from the overcrowded east, and they came to found a future great state. There was much excitement here then, both from local and outside caus bellion in the southern states, development of that spirit caused a feeling of great unrest and trouble lurked everywhere Confeder- ate plans for acquiring this territory were fortunately checked by the vigilant Gilpin at Pigeon Ranch, Indians threa ened the borders likewise, and their depredations finally led to Chivington’s awful punishment of this enemy at Sand Creek. Desperadoes scourged the min ing camps and larger towns, until vigi lance committees took hold and admin- istered the justice that tke law could not. During these troublous days in 1863 an unknown danger came, So mysteriously did it work that for the time it fairly anlymd the mountain communities. In March nine men had been found dead along the trails near Canon City. Each man had a bulle} in his head. 8o nearly similar were the death wounds that these mysterious as- sassinations nautarally gave rise to much speculation. And this was increased when it was learned that three weekes before two men had been similarly killed in Santa Fe, and also a soldier in Con-| ©jos. Thus, as far as could be discover- ed, a bloody trail had its origin in the Vity of the Baints, in Nuw Mexico, and reached now as far as Canon City, The news of the terrible crimes, of course, spread rap- idly, but it could scarcely keep up with their commission, Along the mountain roads dead bodies were found, each with the fatal bullet in ita skull. No victim attacked evor told the tale. The ritle that sighted him carried certain death with its missile. Miners trudging their weary way up the mountain trails, team- sters with horses and vehicles, met the'r fate alike, One singular fact appeared to be this, that all were killed in the wagon roads or on the trails; none were ever found off the beaten paths. Of course, the people became appalled, and hardly dared to venture beyond the reach of immediate aid. No one could tell from what concealment the messenger of death—that had never missed its mark— might in its turn reach him. Dread de- spair prevailed; the fear of an unknown foe pervaded the hearts of those pionecers who dared face any danger openly. In fact, a reign of terror prevailed {‘ha - sassinations became more frequent. Mon would leave their cabins, camps, or the mountain cities for remote sections only to be found, perhaps, a fow days later by more fortunate travelers, dead, and in their skulls the small hole through which their lives went cut, Finally, a company of twenty volunteers was raised in Park county. Their leader was & man of great bravery, and every man in the party was ready to lay down his life to solve the mystery. The first work this company did was to punish a band of notorious thieves that had been engaged robbing miners’ cabins and flumes, and who were well known, But this did not stop the dread work of mysterious murders, At Red Rock Ridge—right hero, by the way, where I write this letter—and all along the trail, murdered men were found singly and in pairs, And always the same wound, the same sized bullet, the same trained h.n.d, evidently, had fired the fatal . A fow days later the band of volunteers, in soouring the neighborhood, found a trail in the lower part of the South park that led toward Canon city. It was early in the forenoon when the trail was struck, They at once took it up, and after having traveled some distance in the possession of “a well-known physician in southern Colorado, while a knife the as- sassian carried was long preserved among the the territorial properties. His rifle, which had carried death to so many vic. tims, can be seen any time in Denver in the home of anold mountaineer, then or, but who is now one of the mining E‘ngu of the state.

How to decorate your table for a small dinner party T am often asked. If you are a millionnaire nothing can be easier, for you are not required to show any taste of your own, nor to tax your brain, if tho sweet bread in the skull may be so called, to any extent whatever, At a florist’'s on Broadway this very week I saw beds of fuil blown roses— rel Lady Boiloreens, pirk General Routs and Pearl of the Bowery yellow blossoms—just waiting the express to bo sent to M Goribuster Gandergilt's groat reception. They were splendid rosés all a-blowing, all a-growing, to be dabbed down like large red poultices on to the backs of huge dining tables without any preten- tion to design, novelty or taste The roses represented dollars, but not Flora or even Venus A friend of mine, one of the boys, gave a terrapin supper and made x]uits asen- satioa with an oyster grotto all along the table. Inside were candles and bits of colored glass and ice, and outside the fes- tive orab appeared to roam in search of slicos of lemon and sprigs of celery. It was ‘‘real elegant,” It was quite a sub- marine poem, was that table, and cost next to nothing. *‘My dear chappie,” said one slim to another, ‘‘quita too lovalyfithe flowers and greenery at old Goldhogg's 1ast night.

Y., Feb. 26,—There in in the possession of a family living on Baldwin's creek, near the scene of the bloody and decisive battle between the American forces under Gen. Sullivan and the Six Nations under Brant and other great chiefs, in 1770, a curious relic of that battle, which has a tragic story of its own. Ttis tne skull of an Indiau, with a bullet-hole in the centre of the forehead The ancestor of the present owner settled on the farm still occupied by the family just after the revolution- ary war. The story that has been handed down with the skull is as fol lows: The Indian to whom the skull belonged was one of Brant's bloodiest and bravest warriors, He participated in the Wyom- ing brutalities, the horrors at Minsink, and the bloody Cherry Valley massacre, He was the leader of the marauding band that burned thesettlement at Harders- field, Delaware county, and murdered tho sottlers there. An act of his at that massacre is alleged to have led to his own death at the hands of an Indian enemy, adopted son »f the peaceable chief, Cornplanter, Young Cornplanter, who was friendly to the whites, hearing that an attack »n the Harpersfield settlement was contemplated, sent a squaw of his own tribe, clear from the shores of the Allegheney rnver, to warn the settlers. She arrived too late to perform the ser- vice, as the savages had reached there first and accomplished their work. She was captured, however, and, known to be a Cornplanter squaw and _her errand sus- {wcwd, she was killed and scalped by the eader of the hostile band. When this became known to young Cornplanter he sworn vengeance to the murderer of his equaw. When Sullivan was sent into the Susquehanna country on his errand of destruction, Cornplan- ter was employed as a scout to precede the army and keep the general informed a8 to the plans and strength cf the In dians. In the performance of this duty he was creeping through the wonds near the present village of Wellsburg, when suadenly he saw an Indian also stealing along. Cornplanter stepped behind a chestnut tree, The other Indian was a Seneca, and hid himself behind a fallen tree. Coanplanter, uncertain whether the Seneca had seen him, remained mo- tionless behind the chestnut, but peered around the trunk with one eye, bringing the hiding place of the other Indian in view. Presently the head of the Seneca rose stealthilyabovethe fallen trunk,and a moment later the Indian rose to his feet and glanced cautiously about. Corn- planter recognized his bitter enemy, the slayer of his squaw, and the Indian he hm{ sworn to kill. The next instant his rifle covered the Seneca brave, and the report that followed' was the bloody warrior's death-knell, Cornplanter scalp- ed the chief and left hum lying where he fell. The next day the battle of Baldwin's creck was fought, and the Indians were routed. Twenty years later Young Cornplanter, who had gone to the west, returned to the vicinity ot Baldwin’s creek. One day he was walking in the woods with the grand- father of the present owner of the Indian skull, whoso guost he was, and, stopping suddenly and looking about him on every side, said to his host that it was on that spot that he had killed Brant’s warrior in 1779. Cornplanter went to a certain spot, and, digging away a deep layer of leaves, uncovered the moldering bones of the Seneca brave. The skull was as sound as ever. Cornplanter kicked it spitefully away from him into the woods. His companion picked it up, and, taking it home, put it on a tall pole, and the blue-birds nested in it for years.

In winter we can give them cabbages or chopped turnips and onions from time to time; short, late-dried hay (or rowen) is very good for a change; corn stalk leaves, chopped fine, they will eat with a relish, In early spring time, when the ground first softena from the frost, pasture sods thrown into their pens will be ravenously eaten by them; and as soon as the new grass starts, (unless they can havo free access to the fields or lawn) they should be supplied with this excellent succulent! daily, For the young chickens nothing upon the newly grown grass; and next to this indulgence, they should have an ample supply of cur or pulled grass every day. ut of course while Jack Frost holds sway “this sort of truck” is out of the question, Some careful poul‘ry koepers sprout oats in boxes of earth, aud allows choioe birds to pluck the tender blados The comuon Swedish turnip and the carrot are excellent for winter green poul- try feed, and probably the most available and the cheapest vegetables that can be procured.

In fact,he frequently is, and it is interesting to hear him relate his odd experience based upon staken identity. I know Mr. Wyman fairly well; traveled with him over the Rocky muntains toward the Pacitic last sumuer, aud became reasonably intimate with his peculiaritics. He was formerly an extensive manufacturer at Providence and is now a gentieman of elegant leisure of the Tom Ochiltree type.

Of course, in a party of fifty there are at all times a number of wags, and they would constantly burden the innocent Americans _with the pompous titles of Britain, For instance, Ashley Cole, who was the private secretary of the mil- lionaire whose guests we all were, would be standing on a station platform, when a window of ene of the coaches would be lifted and a voice would cry out, ‘‘Lord Ashley! Lord Ashley! will you kindly tell the Earl of Ochrone, who is coming up to the platform, that lunch will be ready directly?” and Scott Smith, Washington correspondent of a New York pap then approaching Cole would share with the secretary the temporary and dubious honors of nobility. The countrymen would gape in wonder at these British grandees, to the excessive discomfiture of poor Cole and Smith, who knew well that many pairs of bright eyes were peeping from the train windows enjoy- ing their embarrassment. To the west- orn mind, nobility is associated with im- mense wealth, and the unfortunate fel- lows who were characterized as lords had to pay for their fictitious titles. *‘This thing has got to stop,” sid Cole, angrily, one day, after the game had been ?lyud repeatedly. *‘I can not go into a s“o]n to buy a trifle but the charge me five times its' value, and then look upon me as though I were tho star performer in a big menagerie.” —— The Man Who Talks ‘We want to say a word to you who make a living with your tongue, You certainly must have a clear, strong voice to engage your lis- teners.

Three of their children are dead, but the remainder—seven sons and one daughter—were present. A son sixty-one years old is the oldest of the children, and a son thirty-six years old is youngest. Five of the sevan grandchil- dren wore also present, but the six great- grandchildren did not come on from Michigan, where they live. Three per- sons who were at the original wedding wore guests at the ceremony. These were Mr. O. W. Price, eighty years old, and Mra, Ranson,eighty-four years old,of New York, who are brother and sister of Mrs. Agenv, and Mr. Agens’s maiden nieco. Mr. Agens 18 eighty-six years of age and Mrs. Agens eighty-two. She fre- quently visits New York with him, and in warm weather they like toramble in Central park. They are both very spry and active.

In fact, snid he, railroading would seem monotonous were it not for the commer- cial travellers. The Philadelphia Times in a legnthy article on this same matter says: *‘There is a distinct population that is constantly growing. It is composed of commerclal travellers, lecturers, show agents, actors and actresses, They eat more meals in hotel-cars and railroad meal-stations than they do at home or in They spend more nights in sleeping-car bunks than in beds, To a person who travels only occasionally it is interesting to note how thoroughly equip- ped these professional journeyers are. Upon entering a sleeping-car early in the evening, for instance, they remove their shoes and put on slippers, hang their hats up and don silk travelling-caps, take off their coats and put on short sack coats or smoking-jackets, **In the morning, when the occasional traveler, obliged to wear the only cleth- ing he has hrought, goes to the toilet compartment in his coat and vest, and thus struggles in an effort to clea skin without soaping his sleoves or his coat collar, these professionals again ex- cite Lis envy.
