AVisit 1o the Grand Canyon of the Colarado, An Eastward Journty to Peace Springs—Origin of the Great River—xhe Monster Gorge. N. Y. Eveniog Post. A 'last glimpse of the bay of San Froncieco, basking in_warm bright sun- 1'ght, dotted with white-winged ships; a laet look st geeen-hued hills, leading toward the Golden Gate; a sight of the houees of San Francisco, gathsred upon high bluffs and now crowded togeiher in indescritable confusfon; and then the San Jeaquin valley of central Californis, with 1ts wide fields just beginning to grow green after thoir refreshment of coplous winter rains, its mountain ranges extending north and eouth like two huge arms outstretshed fo protect the valley, snd its farms, broad and rich, coverlng the levels, datted with treee. 1t was only a glimpse ot Californiv's girden that | had. There was not light enough to s'e much of the valley, and on waklng In the morning we had pissed out of freshness and cultivation info barren and tracklees The blue clear sky Wl hid hy low.lylng clouds. which surged sgainst the hillas eurrounding the reglon and fitful gusts of wind blew heavy drops of rain against the windowr of the car, Here lonely etunted pslms grew by the roadside and tufts of rank grass, brown and dead, were scatterad over the rock strewn sands. There is & melancholy Dplensure, after all, lcoking upon this Mohavo desert, which presses so closely upon the productive vslleys of Oalifc raia, It has a history all its own, and could ite story be jold by the rocks snd sand hills one sees 1 should have an Interesting lotter to post. Was the desert an Inland sea, I wonder, and were the mountains guarding it now the cliffs upon Which the waves used to break? DIda teriible heat 10b the dry earth of its waters, and they never to come again} So there isa flock of rand birds sweeplng over the grass tufts, frail, delicate beings with thin piping voices. They are sleters of the birds we have often seen darting over the mbite sands of the sea cossh. Thera flies a vulture, a magnified New England crow, huntlog for refuse and ond gorbsge. 1 have hoard it raid that there {0 no coloring to beseen on a desert but the distant hills bave a robbin's eggs blue, the grasses are white-topped and brown beneath, and the geound is mellow yellow, while overhead, at times, ths sky is of deepest blue, and even when clouded is o good background to the colors seen elsowhere. Far away in the north, above Wyom- ing, and again among the giant trees and dark bssaltic rocks of northera Colorado, tworivers have their source. They are tiny streams in thelr early dsys, pure as cryetal, cold as ice, springing Into life among the quiot nocks of a neglectod ro- gion. One river is called the Green and the other the Grand, and both of them go swoeping grandly forward, gathering other streams to their own, fed by brooks aud beds of melting snow untll away down in eastern Utah amid a confused jumble of red-tinged boulders, they come together and form the Rio Colorado. A year 2go I was camped by the side of the Green, just a little above where it jolns the Grand, and later I followedup the courss of the latter river to nesr where 1t was born, and a month later stood upon a high range of mountains, thick with snow, cold and treeless, and siw where the Rio Las Animas began 1ts journey through the valleys of southwestern Colorado to join the San Juan river, which emptles into and helps swell the a'zs of the Rlo Colorado. ~Having this intimate knowledge of the birth of this graat useless river, which loves to ran into the wildest places, and through the deep- est canyonsiof any in the worid, 1 was glad to put up with the discomforts of an early rising, that I might visit the place where It has worn its channel some 6,000 feet beneath the surface of the carth. The Colorado never rans in a stralght line 1f it can possibly go crooked, and much prefers hidlog itself within a dark, deepcanyon to goingabout In the sunlight where people can see it. From the time it rcceives the waters of the San Jaan to the hour when it empties into the Gulf of Caifornia, below Yuma, It 1a a wild, angry stream, roaming through 1ts canons at first, and then broadening out and floming between stony banks. Its waters are as yellow as gold-dust, and grow mud- dier every hour, and excep! for a limited number of miles ihe river is aot vavi gable, because of its rapids, and whirl- poole, and high clifls of rock Talking with an old frapper who shared his cabin with me at Green River, I asked if he had ever cxplored the Colorado’s canyon, juet north of which we were resting, ‘11" be said, **Wel, not much, an’ 1 don't beliove nobody ever hss, Deep ? Well, rather, an’ more'n that; 1 don’t ant {0 go down the Graen-—not a great distance. Thar’s canons enovgh on that river to turn back most men.” Looking southward to where he point. ed I could see a mass of red-hued and sharply pointed rocks rising about incon- fused masses, and he eaid that the coun- try down there in Southern Utah and Northera Arizona way all rocks and gulfs and canons, He firmly believed that even Powell never made the trip down the Colorado that he eald he did, for he thought no boat could live in a river which was at once so bolsterous and which ran through such deep places. Peach Springs Is the nearcs: point to the Rio Colorado's canyon. The place it- self, like many another town that has sprung up by the side of the Atlantic and Pacific rallway, Is ccmposed of a fow small houtes s:t down among the rough brown hills. In the near distance are blue-tinted heights belonging to the San Franclsco mountains, and standing amid the tall trees which choke the ravines and cover the hill sides, are itolated pinvacles of vari-colored rock, tossed by rome ter- rible convaleion of nature Into every im- aginable positlon and csrved by time and weather into curious and fantasic shapes, The read from the springs to the canon hes a downright slope all the way, for the town is on a level with the top of the rlyer’s canyon, and leads to the water's side thousands of fect below. Startlag at early morning, and when the clouds still hung in beavy maeses agaiost the hillsldes, the village was scon lost eight of, and our way led out and down among the rocks and trees strewn over the country, through & region where a man as yob has done nothing to change the order of affairs, It was & wilderness, wild and chastie, a place where reetless epirits, doomed to walk about forever, may live, Save for & vulture soaring abdad of us, no birds were to be seen, and all animals that exlst kept safely bid amony the trees. Here an arroys, deep but dry, was ellmbed into and out of, and for hours there wes coustant golrg vp ard getting down rocky xills, while at timee, from deserts, some elevated hill, thecountry Iay spres out before and around us for miles, ehow- ing its scarred fase and crumblivg boulders; its deep, rich colorings, and distant mountalus, frosied with newly fallen snow, It was a ride of jolts, and pulls, snd jamps, hard for horses and hard for men, while the wild disorder of the sconery prepared us, In & measare, for that mightier wildness yet to come when wo reached oar jouracy's end, and stood at Jast beside the bo!ling, hissing, yellow-hued, and ever restloss river. What words are to bs be used, un #ided by pencil or brush, when vne teaks to describe what the canon of the Colo rado river really s 7 Its migaltude, its wolomnity, the awful depth, the rushing rivor, ths towering cliffs all ep ak to us, but wo cannot epsak of thom. Man is dwarfed by nature, abached by her graud eur, sllenced by the exhibition of her powers, Imaglne tho scene, A yellow: hued siream, rushing like a gast of an- gered wind along a rock-sirewn bed and between a llne of dark-hued cliffs. Lcok upward o thousand fect, and rocks look angrlly down; gaze up another thousand feet, another and still anothe rand thers are the eame dark-browed monsters glaring down upon you and upon the river. Look up sgain, and now gaz for six thousand feet into the alr toward the heavens, and you can still sce rough- edged rocks, all ountlined ogainst the sky, over a mile in helght away, throwing up pionacles and towers aud domes, and_isolated peaks, chipped and rcarred, and dark, masiye and irregular. The light of day is dimmed, the place is full of loud, hoarss roars, tha air is chill- ed, and the river, lashed into foaming fury, leaps madly along its course. Hers aro shadows that Rembrandt would have gloriad in; here Dore might have copled nature and added to his fame. Hero is the road to Dante's sombre balls, One stands within the very bowels of the earth, with all light and brightness lost to view. He sees the work of ages, the result of a mighty power. The earth is cleft in twain; it is as thoogh a mountaln, tall and strong, had been halved by some sharpened sword. Six thousand feet of stony depth! Six thoarand feet beneath the light of dsy! There are no_pleasant smlles of nature to be seen. No flowers grow, no shrubs appear, no birds are vla- tble. Dark are the towering walls, and darker stlll the shadowa, 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 comparfson with its prison, a wayward child keld in stern rebuke. From the tops of the cliffs which form the C lorado’s canon, the river windlug at theic base is like a strand of gold, But it needs atrong nerve to look from the great height into the depths below. Drop a stone, and the splash it would make upon striking the water could not be seen. Even the noise the river makes is not audible, and the stresm seems to flow ncizclemsly along its dark and ruzged course.| Turning from}zazeing into the can- non, and looking about the country, the deep rent s scen streching far away to the east aud wes', while In the distance are tall tress and rocks and bare brown hills. One questions why the canyon was made and how—whother by the river or formed by voleanic action. But whatever the cause, it is a strange fraak of nature, rivalling, with its granduers, all other sights, inviting comparisons but chal- lenging competition. All other canyons of the wild southwest, where rivera de- light to wind in darkened places, sink in- to insignificance when compared to this of the Rio Colorado.

Field Living in a Cave, For more than forty years, siys the New York Herald, Wiliam Stahlton, better known as the *‘Hermit of the Saw- mill River,” has reslded near Irvington, Westcheater county. He is a patriarch 1u appearance, tall, well built, with long, white flow heir and beard, and nearly 80 years of age. Although a German by birth, he speaks fivo difforent” languages fluently, and owns several acres of rocky ground adjolniog the property of Jay Gould and Cyrus W. Field. A cave about twenty feet square, dvg in one of the side hille, is the old man's only habi- fatlon, The only entrance to this sub- terranean abode is a hole deftly concealed between two rocke. Here the hermlt has lived for many years a life of wonderful eimplicity. His food coneists mainly to vegetables, which he raices on-his own land, fish caught in tho Sawnmill river, and gamo which he suares or shouts in the neighborhood. He ccoks his own food and lives alone. © wears no shoes or stockinge, only a cotton shirt waist and a pair of blue trousers. Every day of the year, winter and summer, he dons this uniform and walks down to the Hudson and takes a bath. If he findsico he breaks it and jumpsin, He has oocasionally adopted boys, whom he has dresced like himselt, and has tried to force them to live the same life as he own. The boys, however, could not stand the ducking in the lce- water, The hermit Is very reticent about his eafly life, and appears fo be in mortal fear of women. He s said to be quite wealthy, Mr. Cyrus W. Field at one time wanted to buy the hermit's proper- ty. The old man asked $1,000 for it, and it is needless to say stlll owns it. Many years sgo he kept asmall private school near Hastings, but his manners were 80 peculiar that he swamped the en- terprise. o — The Root of the Evil, To thoroughly cure scrofula it Is neceesary to strike directly at the root of the evil, This Is exactly what Hood's Sareapartlla does, by acting upon the blood, thoroughly cleansing It of all im- porit; and leaving not even a talnt of sorofula in the vital fluid.

The Salt Lake Tribune has pub lished an acsount written by one of the discoverers whish throws considerab historic light on the sabjec It saya: The exploration of the Whits Canyon by our party fs due to the eearch which has been carried on by us to rediscover the old Josephine mine, and wo think it is now in our possession. From the stu pendous surface werkings, with a growth of vegetation growirg on it a half century old; with the large old fashioned flaring shafts and open cuts it is evident the work was dona by the Spaniards, and a long time ago. We can not determine by the evidences at oar command whether it was cone by the followers and suucessors of Coronado, thrae centuries agy, or by the retainers of DoVarges, Perez or Yer- mijo, the last raler at Santo Fe, fifiy or seventy-tive years sgo. We are in- clined to the belief, however, thativ must be the old Josephine mine, sald to be of record in the old San Miguel Chapel at at Santa Fe, and for which 8o much huat- ing has been done by the irceprersible mining prospestor in Northern Arizona, New Mexicr and southern Utah, The Spanish Jegends inform us that about the year 1700, when DeNarges had retaken the Santa Fe country and the Tegua-Spanish peaze was made, it wis with the understanding that all the old shafis, drifts and p'acers were to be filled up. And according to one suthor of of note, this was the end of mining by the Spantards in thls coun'ry. A varled ucquaintance with the western Navajoes, while prospecting in their country for the t three years, leads us to belicve that mining was carried c¢n in this country fifty or sixty years, Old Spanish-speak- ing Navajoes aesura us that when they were Muanchachos and slaves among the Spaniards thy were worked down in a deep mine on the east side of the Henry mountaine, The workings on thelsurface are about 1,000 feet in length, on a con- tact of porphyry and the black slata, and although an attempt was msads t) cover them up, they are yet 20 and 25 faot desp. We have not had time or means to open it, and will defer a further dezcrip- tlon to the futura. The White Canyon mining district lies on the cast slde of the Colorado river, opposite the Henrys, and runs east to the head of White Oanyon, near the south- weatern bage of the Eik and Blue moun- tains, Tho formation is sedimentary, the surfaca and ore bodles lying flat, the foot-wall holng a talcoee %shale, and the rcof or havging wall fs a ¢onglomerats of quariz sand of a calcareous nature. The menas are cut by a labyrinth of canyons, which expone large b:dies of copper ore carrying gold and tilver, We have no} finished our prospecting of the mineral strata in White canyon, but have made some eighteon locations. The ore bodiss are from 3 to 20 feet in thickness, and continuous oa their face from 700 to 3,000 feet. They %re very rich in copper. Ocr best cs.ays in gold running high, but nct having any blasting material wi'h which to do any work, we knocked off the surface with a hammer and which was badly bleached out. We do not know how much good ore of the highest grade we have. We are roturning with ampls gupplies and an agsayer, our intention ba- ing to ship a car-load of our best, and in the course of five or six weeks we will be able to speak definitely. We do not, at this wriling, wish the puklic to partake ef our enthueiasm lest they become sulphided with disappoint- ment. Our nearest railroad point i3 the Denver & Rio Graude Western at the Green river crossing, Blake City, where o'l mail for that party should be dirccted.

I, Goodman, - —— A MANSACHUSEITS AMAZON. Death at the Age of 93 of Abigail Goodnow, Shoemalker, Farmer and Horse Jockey. Boston Globe, b iNorrasoro, February 26.—One of the most remarkable women that ever these parts knew was Abigail Coolidge Good- now, who has just died at the age of 93 y She was born in Bolton, and moved to this place when young. My in- formant's first recollection of Mrs. Good- now dates back more than half a cen. tury, when he was sent to her by hls father to have his measure taken for a palr of custom shoes, she being regarded at that time as one of the best shoe- makers, Beelde doing custom work she used to take out stock from the shoe factory of Daniel Newton of Westboro, There was no part of the trade but what she understood thoroughly. Soon after Miss Coolldge, for she was then single, bought the John Green farm on Ball hill, and builta houte thereon, In which she lived up to the time of her death. Asa farmer she was known far and wide. Asa judge of horsefle:h ehe was regarded as fieet-class, and ip horse jockeying she was a pronounced success. Her trading mania led her tojdeal in ca tle, household goods, wagons, watche and to speculate in grain; In fact, any- thing in which she thooght thers was s dollar, Her ability to hay more for a dollar than auy one else brought her services into demand, and more than oue young married couple has been panted by her in theix visits to Worcester to procure the hoosekeeping outfit, when she could buy a third more for the sawe amonnt ¢f money than the brightes! toum. § Mis Coo'idge commenced farming with a Liorse and two cows, her stock soon be ing insrensed to two horses, fifteen cowa and a palr of oxen. As a musoular phe- nomenon she wess notad, and with her 200 ponnds of avoirdupots, much of which sho had developed into hardened mascle, few men cared to follow her lead in man ual labor, Armed with an fron bar she would go Into the field and lay store wall with the beet of the stearner sex, As to dandling a viclons hcrse, holding a plough, or swingiog a sythe, she asked 1o odds of any one, She would fake hor dioner and labor in the hayfield all day with the most sturdy farm hands, Frank ( 2 neighbor, who owned a good tarm, entercd int> a contract with “|her that the property «f which over shonld die fir:t should go to the survivor. She was shrowd cnongh to have him deod hin place to her on the conditlons named, When the property came Into hor pesseslion, at his deceaso, ehe rold tho same to Ogrus Gale for £5,000 cash. Subsequent to this Heney Goodnow worked for her a long time, Iis saved wages, with what he had before, amounted to $1,200. The womanturned her businees eye toward the hired man 1,200, and thinking, probabl that it would be cheaper to have him fcr a husband than as an employe, martfod him and induced him t> put his $1,200 in a picce of pasture lind, maklog sure that It was deeded to her, which it was, He died about fiftesn years ago. In later yoars her ventures were not 4y suc- cessful ns in former times, and she died leaving nothing of her tormer possessions for relatives to squabble over, alihough she had cnough to carry her through her life This uncommon woman wa3 not as marculine in her manner as would natur- ally by sapposed, while no one ever wanted eympathy or practical aid but what he got it. Her horss, oxen or farming implements were readily lent to help out a less prosperous nelghbor, but on & trade she had no special scruples and went for the best end of the bargain at every chance, Notwlithstanding her musoular power and long assoclation with man and man's work she was ex- excessively timid, and of death had an abnormal fear. e GOING TO BE MARRIED. Mrs, Gen. Tom Thumb Tells the Facts of Her Second Qourtship Herself, New York Herald, In her cczy rooms at the Marray Hill Hotel, Mre. Stratton, better known as Mre. Gen. Tom Thumb, and years ago as Lavinia Warren, sat yesterday after- noon and talked to a Herald reporter ot her approaching marriage. 1tis a good while since the 1itile lady first bestowed her winsome smiles upon an American audlence and prattled in a naive but quite intelligent manner to crowded "ouges at ko much a brattle, bt she bas not grown any since. Sha is still the sizo of a b.year old Infant who has discovered no undue precoci'y in soaring rapidity In life. Sho is a3 bright and cha'ty as ever, too, and years of wedded lite with the departed General have not weaned her from certain coquetries of manner which, it appears, proved long ago irresistible to the impending bridegroom. The latter is the Count Primo Magrl. He has chosen to be professlonally known as Count Rosebud, but the authenticity of hisclaim to descent from the Magri family, his birth at Bologna, and his right to certain ancestral estates, are undispnted. Mre, Stratton’s displeasure has been | aroused, it scems, by the currency given to her proposed nuptials. She desired, 80 she says, that the sacred mantle of privacy should cover her private life and that the public should only take lberties with such portions of her existence fs were devoted to their enteriainment, [ Bug the new:paper, it appesrz, did not consult her wishes, and have presented various narratives of the wooing and ap- proaching wedding of the little lady, so that she was corsirained to tell herself the facts of the case, that the truth might be known. STORY OF THE WOOING. “When the Geoeral died,” said Dire. Stratton, "I made up my mind to remain a widow the rest of my life., 'We had traveled throueh Furope, Asia and Ans- traila, and had been presented to and re- ceived marks of consideratiun from tha potentates and most distinguished people cf every country. 1t was only natural that 1 should look for retirement after his death. But somehow the excitement of public appearances to which I have been used all wy life was to seductive. To me applause has always been like » stimulant, Even now, I am nervous sometimes and unable to eleep, I go be- fore the public, and their approoation first excltes mo and then acts as an oplate. *“Well, T appeared again, and lataly, when I thought cf resting, I wes made an offer of marrlage from Count Magii, which I have accepted. = We are acquain- ted now some six yoars,” Mrs. Stratton went on. ‘“It was, I think, in Spring- field our party met him and his brother, They had come from Italy at tho instance of a manager ramed Smith, and were performing through the country, Count Magrl is quite a musician, you know, He sings and plays, and his hrother used togccompany him, Well, the General and | wero very much pleased with the Magris, They were far more cultured and intelligent than most of the little people we had met, and the soclal rela- tions between us very, very ploaeant, Porhaps I should not_say it,” simpered the little lady, *‘but the Count has told me that he was smitten even then. Of rel knew nothing of this, but I al- had a deep respsct and regard for him, and when he progosed tome I ac- cepted him,” POST-NUPTIAL INTENTIONS, ““What are your plans after marrlage?”’ the reporter asked. *‘Ob, we intend to go to Italy to live there. Not always, perhaps, but at least for a long time. "I think I would he con- tented to rest now, and I think Italy is & good place for it. It ts my husband’s ocountry. He ls known there in another quality from what he is here. I think I shall Ike it. Sece here s his pleture, and the tiny fiancee banded up a photo- graph of the plgmy bridegroom, who ln- decd, soems to be a bright and ntelligent little person, ‘‘Hels not dark like some It s3id she, gazing fondly at the picture. “He is not a like them." Then she sald that the papers were wrong in hxiog the day of her marrlage. ‘‘We agreed upon tho 20th of May,’ said ehe. “‘But the Count is deeirous of its eccoreing sooner, as he wants to sail for Italy, if possible, in April. My wman ager, Mr. Sylvester Bsker, has bosked we for engagements up Lo the middle of May. If he can arrange it we shall fore- gosome of them I am to meet the Count three weeks from to-day and then all will be arrauged Then the small widow and bride that is to be simpered and blushe again Euioke Seal of North Caroling Tobac co, THE GREAT MAN RE b FOR AAXIN . cun Rheumatism, Neur Sciatica, h aof i i THE CHARLES A, VOGELER €0, (o A VOGELER & C0.)
