Canon %' Not Bult.by Mun, 1t is a grand house, and .to build one like it would cost millions-of dollars, if it conld be' ‘done at all. And yet the man who lived in it had hardly $1 to his name. But then he .didn't buy the house, because it was made by nature on the rocky walls of Sabina canon in Avizona, thousands of years ago, and has been ready for an ‘accupunt ever since. The man who lives in it is a pros- pector known as **Mike,” says the San Francisco Call. What other name he has is not known, and besides, it don't matter. He says he was going up the canon one day u year or 8o ago when ho fivst suw the place, and thought it was a house built by man. When he saw his mistake he simply took posses- sion. Mike’s house is truly a most de- ceptive piece of nature’s handiwork and a very useful one. Itis on the canon walls, probably 100 feet above the bot- tom, and a flight of natural stone steps lead up to its. It is hard to convince one's self that it is not the work of man until it is ex- amined.closely, when its enormous alone would make a person know differ- ently. [t is only one story, but the out- side wall is over 100 feet high. The door, which is in good proporuion, is over twenty-five feet high and the room on the inside reaches up and ends in a black vault that there is no telling how far away it is, ‘When Mike wants a fire he just makes it on the floor, and the smoke curls up to the top and disappears somewhere. This is somewhat strange, as no water ever comes into the placeand the smoke cannot be seen coming out anywhere. But it very likely goes through somo fissure into a cave beyond. But Mike doesn’t care where it goes. He is satisfied with the convenience, and thinks he is the best fixed prospector in the mountains. This house of rock is most strongly suggestive of Egytian architecture, and also bears a great re- semblance to some of the cave dwellings in the Salt river valley. The thing is an interesting curiosity, and, aithough it is the house of a progpector now, there is & strong possibility that it may in the past have done duty as the home for some members of the lost races of this strange country. * B Suvashe Bottle. In one of ther.cases atthe Army and Medical Museum there is a long row of small test tubes containing bacterial organisms of several,of the most dan- gerous diseases: known to the medical profession. The exhibition is a branch of that department under the munagement of Dr. Gray, who conducts expenignents in the formation of the disease germs and speculates on their terms of existence and powers of resistance, says the Washington Post. Among the eollection is u tube labeled ‘‘Asiatic chclems,” which attracts more attention than amy of the others. The tube was filled with gelatine on June 22, at the same time being inoculated with cholera. Ina little over a wmonth the discase germs have developed and multi- plied to such an extent as to be plainly visible to the naked eye. In the open end of the tube is loosely wadded a piece of cotton, and although the contents may be seen \‘hroufil the glass doors of the case, Manager Flynn,of the museum, kindly takes the tube out of the case und explains the growth of the germs when particular interest is manifested in the culture by visitors, The other day, while showing the cholera tube to a party of vigitors, a ner- vous lady approached the djroup and in an excited manner inquired: “Is that real eholera you have bottled up there?” *"Yes,. Asiatic cholers,” politely re- plied Mr. Fiyon, he woman threw up both hands and exclainfed: *Then for God's sake, do be careful and don't drop the bottle.” 1893=SIXTEEN PAGES.

Bladensburg, Near Wasl a Battle Ground. Not far from the city of Washington lies thesleepy little town of Bladensburg, made famous by the battle fought th on the 24th of August, 1814. The Br troops, following up the vanquished Americans, reached Washington, but, though occupying it only one dav, they in that short time burned the capitol, the executive mansion, and other gov- ernment property. Pretty Dolly Mad- ison, whose husband was at that timo president, fled from her home, but not until she had made sure of the safety of ‘Washington's portrait by Gilbert Stuart, which she did at the risk of being captured. Bladensburg is.perhaps almost equally celecbrated for its deiicious minoral spring, and what is kuown as the “Old Spa" s to this. day much frequented by the people of the neighborhood. From morning until night there are groups of people, principal lf' colored, who stand about the spring talking and awaiting the opportunity to drink. Barefooted little darkies scamper up with pitchers and jugs to carry home that best of drinks, and many of them who come in convey- ances bring with them demijohns for the same purpose. Neur the **Spa” on the village street stands an inn which glories in the high- sounding title of “"The George Washing- ton Hotel.” It undoubtedly sheltered Washington during his stay here and shows unmistakable signs of its old age. The stream of water known us the Bast- 1 Branch, and which flows zround the edgo of the town, was once of sufficient depth and breadth to float large ships, the produce of all thesurrounding coun- try being shipped from heve. The waters have gradually receded, so that now only flat-bottomied boats or steamn luunches can be used on it, and the place that was once of considerable commer- cial importance is now a very dead little town. On the spot where once stood the famous Ro)ss tavern there is now nothing but a ruin. A walk of less than a mile from Blad- ensburg brings one to the spot where 5o many celebrated duels were fought. It was here that Commodore Decatur and Captain Barron met, the encounter end- ingin the death of Decatur. He sur- vived long enough to be conveyed to his home on Lafayette square in Washing- ton, where he died the same nigh The celebrated Cilley and Graves due! also fought here, as many others y persons less prominence. These woods, once 80 silent” and chosen for these murderous meetings, are now con- stantly resounding with the whistles of passing trains botween Baltimoro and Washington. Another year will prob- ably see the running of the electric road between these two cities and the laying out of what is intended to be the most beautiful boulevard in the world, e NOT IN THEIR LINE, Texas Cowboys Have No Time for a Parlor Car, Two Texas cowboys recently had the novel experience of traveling by rail over the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road, says the Atlanta Constitution, But they seemed to feel uncomfortable from the time that the train pulled out from the point that they got on outin the brush. When they got in the Wagner sleeper one of them said to the other: “Hill, you'll have to take your spurs oftern your hoofs if you expect to put your boots on the top of that seat.” Bill did so and then seemed pained and survrised when the porter told him that passengers were not expected to put their feet on the plush-covered seats, He toyed with his gun until the porter retired. When he rolled acigar- ette and lit it and the conductor showed him where the smoking recepta- clo of the vestibule train was he seemed annoyed. At supper time, when all of the passengers on the buffet gave their orders and the two cowboys gave theirs, telling the porter to bring them ‘‘all there was on the program and be sure to bring them plenty of sardines,” they handed the porter a 85 bill and were sur- prised when he asked them for 15 cents more.

An interesting velic of bygone days is just now lying in the ba Nash's drug store in Sioux Cit, 5 Journal. Itis anoldoak and carpet camp chair, with arms on it made of a couple of stirrup straps, the whole so hinged that it can be folded away in very small space. The chair was owned by General Alfred Sully, having been made tor him by a private soldiev when he, as a r lieutenant from the United States mil tary academy. first joined the Second in- fantry in 1842, the regiment then being engaged in the Seminole war. With the close of this war the chair went with Sully to the great lakes, along which ne | was on garrison duty till the Moexican war. After Vera Cruz had fallen Solly was sent north on recruiting duty, finall landing in California, and it was in thi same chair that he sat when he receive his commission as captain in Feby ary, 1849, Four years later Sully was ordered to the aid’ of the go Oregon in his campaign against the Rogue river Indians, and through many a night in the forest wilderness the old chair served as his couch, for it is so constructed that it may make a faicly comfortable cot. In Dicambar 1853, Sally was orde to New York, and it was on his voyage thither that he was fivst soparated from the old chair. Whila coasting along the southerr Californin coust the ship was wrecked in a gale, and it was not until he came Sioux City in 1858 that the r comfortable bit of furniture was res to him along with his other effects followed him through his campaigns in Minnesota, Neb a und Dakota, and was with him during his operations against the Cheyenue Indians civil war having broken out in meantime, Sully was ordered in 1861 left the old chai Bacon of Sioux City until return. James river, Fair Ouks, vern Hill, the Virginia and Ma campaigns were fought before turned to the west as commander of the Department of Dakota, having earned in the meantime the rauk of brigadier general. It wuas then that the people of Sioux City presented the gencral with the ‘dwelling which formerly oceupied the site of the old Chase residence on Douglas street, and here the chair found an honored place. Then came the expeditions against the Sioux and the Pottawattamics. In these Sully gained signal distinetion frontier fighter. The recovds of White Stone hill, Ta-kah-ha-kuty and the skirmishes in the Bad lands eurned him the rank of major gene=al. 'I'l all these campaligns the old chair pussed without & seratch, and today the oaken legs and back, hardened and polished with long use, look as if they might out- last many genecvations more of soldiers and savages. On his removal to Vancouver Sully left the chair with Mr. Bu the cast, and with J. M. he should Mal- vland s to his death promiscd it to A. | * or ", Nush. The other day when the Bacon stock was removed the chair was turned over to Mr. Nash. An old volunteer soldier who followed Sully through his northwestern cam paigns was looking the old chair over yestorday, *Yos,” said he, “that ouk and carpet concern could tell muny a story were it gifted with a tongue. [ can see the old man now (for we liked him and always called him the old man). I can see him with his legs stretched after a long day's march ora part larly trying bush fight with the rods, the old half-gallon jug sitting on & camp chest at his side, a tumbler in hand and his elb)w resting on one of those strap arms, Sully never took his whisky in homeopathic doses, His hat was as apt to be under his feet as anywhere, and his good blue army shirt thrown open at the neck when ths weather was hot. He had a profound antipathy to anything liko dress parade in actual service, and his curtness to many of his subordinate officers was largoly provoked by their foppishnoss and assumption of superior airs toward the private soldiers. It was a remark that Sully made whileseated in that old chair that got me into the guard house one day. I wus at the general's tent consulting with him about the building of somo flat-boats that we needed for transport purposes, when in walked & lieutenant roor of | d It Tho | ! num 'O | from ongh | | portant than the t just from West Point. T had noticed the youngstor down among theofficors’ tonts while before, shaving and sprucing up. When ho entered Sully's tent a spotless handkerchief protruded betwoen the brightly burnished buttons of his coat. ‘ His hair was correct, and no drillmass {vv‘n-nuhl have found fault with his sas ut: * ‘How are you, sir?" asked the gen- eral, and kicked a stool over toward the lieutenant and motioned him to be seated. The youngster took the seht and answered very politely that he was entirely well. Just then the gonoral canght a whiff of the perfume which the lioutenant had sprinkled rather freoly upon his clothes, and perfume on fights ing clothes was Sully's pet avers H tone grow unfr v as the mal con« versation procoeded and finally ho said: ***And you're out here to fight the Indians, oh? Waell, sir, I've been cam- paigning it for nearly thirty yeacs now, and 1 have never stank half as budly as you do, sir.” T'he licutenant foll off the chair and Isnorted, and was promptly sent to the guard house for doing it, for Sully was a dizciplinarian. The genoral let me out at supper time, and as [ passed his tent he beckoned me over, poured out & glass of whisky for me, and without the least referonce to my imprisonment, throw a leg ovor one arm of that chair, and rest- ing his head on the back of it looked up through the branches and soberly re- marked, ‘I'm afeaid those —— —— red- skins will smell us u mile away tomor- row," and with a countenance profoundly despondent the great Indian fighter dropped asloep.” L. INDIAN SOLDIERS, Changes Tudicating Thelr Fallure in the Service. The War (I\!lvm'tnn‘nl hasdirected that company [, Fourth infantry, and troop L, Fourth cavalry, shall bé mustered out; and troop I, First cavalry, was mustered out several days ago. All three are Indian organizations. In view of the strong desire hitherto manifested to obtuin Indian recruits, suys the New York Sun, this step is very significant; and some officers arve dis posed to read in it the beginning of the abandonment of the whole system of Indian companies in the army. Oune trouble is with the red men them- selves, for many of them are taking vantago of the new system of dischas by purchase to buy their release from the arn That, of course, shows dis- satisfuction with the restraints ands duties of milita life. In one case just spoken of, it is said that there was such a rush to buy dischargres that the author= ities suggested a consolidation of Indian companios, and thereupon came a hub- bub of opposition, and disbandment was resorted to. The enlistment of Indians in the rege ular army, forming companies of th own, with white officers, but with their own sergeants and coporals,has always been an interesting e 1t has had much in favor of its vracticability. To begin with, it had the exporienc of other nations, which, after the subju- gation of savage tribes, are accustomed' o form contingents from among them for local servico, ofticered by the con- quering rac England, France, Russia and muny other natious offer familiar exs amples of this practice on a very large | scale. Our red Indians of the west were pare ticularly promising subjects for such an experiment here, because individually they were considercd among the best soldid in the world. Brave, capable of! enduring great labor and privation, skilled in woodcraft, excellent horse- men, adepts with the rille, they have many admirable qualities for the hard- igni Ihey are also fond of: nd of martial movements. Their| capabilitiy of obedience to orders and! their fielity las been shown' in the ¢ rendered the organized Indisn police, ~ some= times against their own tribesmen, and in critical cmergencies, as, for ex- amble, at the capture and death of Sit- ting Bull. sides, Indians had for a long period been regularly enlisted in the army as Scou or of hundr to full companins of experiment, The government alsy needed them; for, strange as it may scem, with only about 25,000 enlisted men in the army, and 4 nation of 65,000,000 to reeruit from, there is always much difliculty in keep- ing the ranks full of desirable men. [t wus therofore hoped that the Indians would supply a eovtain number of com= panies of cavalry and infantry, just as organizing the colosed regiments had provided for tour out of the forty regi= 77 ments, But there have been difficulties in the The Indians, it appears, liko the lry better than the infantry service, T'hen they have, of course, in their ress oervation sys 1, & totaily different life thui to which the native con tingents of foreign colonial armics are accustomed, Still, it may be hoped that the infers ence drawn from the recent musterin; out of these companicsas to the eventug, abandonment of Indian enlistments is unfounded.
