My lank, web- informant smiled sardonically, nouuEd bis bead, and led me across the rocky street to a dingy cabin, dis tinguished from its m ighbors by the axle-grease legeBd: “Do-Drop Inn.” Lem Sanderson, grown religious, must indeed be a novelty in Red Cliff, 1 thoughl. Five years before, when the camp was founded, I had known him as the most impious man in the Rocky Mountains, with a pronounced dis respect for all things divine and a shock ing depravity of speech. No one knew whence lie came, and the most adroit inquiries or genuine expressions of sym pathy rarely inveigled him into refer ence to his past. His eel-like movements, flaming red hair, and beard—unkempt and uncombed—steel gray eyes, and moody humors made him repulsive to ^Wry t-ne who obeyed the border social \aw of/taking people as one finds them, vje was one of the first to cross the ^ Snowy range, after the rumors of the rich carbonate discoveries on Battle mountain had reached the Arkansas val ley, carving his way through the thick undergrowth and huge snow banks of Tennessee pass, and down the dismal Eagle river, which, only a few seasons previous, had been the hunting-ground ’of Colorow and his band of murderous Utes. Old Lem Sanderson never faltered at the snows and blasts and besoms whicb*i m P eded Ins lonely invasion and imperiled his life. He saw no sugges tions of a supreme power in the lofty pyramids whoso white winding sheets reflected smiles from sunlit spots, or in the cavernous ravines, where the gloom was almost Plutonian and where one false step would end with death in the rapids below. He only realized that “it w^t nat’ral.” His trust was not reposed in Aod, but in a superannuated burro ti: unaccustomed to the chills and ices offtVjp north, slipped and staggered at ev£\ r , step. His anxiety and fears were aloAji concerned in a little golden-haired lad* ho lay tightly, though tenderly, lBshtiSupon the hammock of camp uten sils aifl provender under which the don- kev pjnianed and labored. Fr jSiany days the perilous journey was Rtinued without mishap, and for as i jiiy nights tho queer trinity en dured Ithe hardships .of the icy wilder ness without suffering a single ill, old Lem Sanderson, his infant boy, and faithful four footed slave arriving at length in safety at their destination, the present site of Red Cliff. The triangu lar basin at the confluence of Eagle river and Saw-Mill gulch rapidly filled up with log cabins, whisky, and law lessness. Through all the transforma tions oid Lem remained the head of the community—its mayor and recorder. Tho rougher denizens held him in awe and fear. They affected to know him, but when pinned down to the extent of O ce rarely went beyond he was from Arkansas, _jme indefinite place at the ’nd that really they could tell no iout him. He never manifested . bition to become a graveyard starter, nor was it ever related of him that that he made a conspicuous pistol- play, but somehow—and I must confess that I was a victim to the sensation my self—everybody got the impression that old iAm would kill on anything like a reasonable provocation. I found him at that time a queer, complexity. He was hospitality personified. Un learned himself. he enjoyed the attrition of intellectual converse, but even the dignity of that in dulgence could never stay nor soften the dreadful blasphemies which came ever rashilig to his lips, and filled his listeners with tho vague dread that a lightning bolt or paralysis might any in stant silence him. Old mountaineers, habituated to the vices of the frontier, shuddered insensibly within hearing of his tirades against the Creator, and turned their backs upon him. He be lieved in neither God, man nor devil, scorned the church in parth Mar, and scoffed at Christianity in geneial. His lisping bov, then 3 years old, was the only living thing in whose presence ho forgot himself so far as to stifle his wicked speeches. If ever a child was the exclusive custodian of a father s hopes and romance, it was “Lem San derson’s kid,” the “junier.” A gypsy bom was never more indifferent or un trained to fear. Perched on his father s back the scaling of a quartzite bluff or a dash down the mountain side on swift Norwegian snowshoes was the keenest un iovment that he craved. And Lem Sanderson seemed to love his boy the better tor this strange passion, as if he was therein the reflection of something that touched his parent vanity. th ManytimesI endeavored to lift the black mantle from Lem Sanderson s past. h,.t save the fact that he was a south erner and the intimation th3t his wife ? A ’ ve J recreant to her vows, my de- had proved r« ^ There wa s cute ain’t no names stranger. Little Lem, thet’s ‘the kid,’ wur goin’ onto 7 about then, and stunted and small like. Tough an’ strong, though, he was, same as mount’n oak. Y’never seed a babe fonder of his daddy then ‘Lem Junier’ was, and Lem, well, he worshipt thet boy, so I knew’d some thin' terrible was cornin’ ’long some of these fine days. An’ sure as y’live it did, jest as I said. “Over ther upon Battil mount’n me and Lem whacked up on some allfired •ell-appearin’ claims. Ther was tho Gulch Sperret, Fust Chance, Owl Roost, an' Hell’s Fire lodes, aH good, an’ every one of ’em under seven foot of Bnow. Th’ Hell’s Fire laid down acrost Lime- stun flat, ’bout half ways ’tween th’ cabin an’ th’ Owl Roost. Th’ Roost, seo, took a sharp shoot over th’ east el bow of th' mount’n ther. Now, it didn't pan out near s’well as me an’ Lem had calkerlated. "YVe put th* shaft down a hundred an’ ten foot by th’ tape, tim bered her up snug, too, but the vein give out like a knife-blade runnin’to a pint, so we quit. Course we couldn’t ’ford to loaf longer'n we could help, so the next thing we done we jest pulled up th’ ole win’lass and moved her up on th’ Owl Roost. Early in the winter— thet was ’fore much snow fell. Pooty near ev’ry day Lem Junier w-ould scram’le up th’ trail same as a Sonora mule, up past th' ole Hell's Fire shaft— ’course thet was one of Lem’s darned wicked names—to were we war blastin’; then soon as he come 'long tired he’d take the back trail to th’ gulch. He never knowed anything 'bout fear, an’ when he made up his mind to go — well, ole Lem never raid nothin’. One bright day, sun high, as Lem an’ the kid an’ me was sittin’ at the shaft eating bacon an sour dough bread—nobody made better sour dough bread ’n Lem—’long comes i big white cloud over Holy Cross mount’n. “ ‘Say, d“ a ’ snoke up the young’n, ‘who makes the civilds?’ “Ole Lem looked at me kinder shamed, an’ said nuthin’. “Course I know’d the Lord was r’spon- sible, but it scart mo to think Lem might swear if I said so. “Now, what d’you reckon that kid thought on next? Says he, soft like: ‘Say, dad, have them clouds wings same as angils?' “He was gazin dumb at thet cloud, an’ it seemed to me as if it was cornin’ right down with open arms to carry him off. “Lem didn’t take kind to what th’ junier said, I could see they, fur his face wrinkled, but the fust time on rec’rd lie forgot to swear. The kid jest took his breath ’way. Where d’you 'spose that boy heard Of angils? Ther warn’t another word spoke, in all fifteen minutes it must hev been, till suddent th’ sun got lost an’ th’ snow come down, then th’ kid took th’ back-track spite of us. Somethin’ must hev told Lem what was layin’ up fur him. He done mighty little talkin’ rest of thet day. Well, stranger, thet storm beat all—th’ allfir’dest blizzard ever sce'd in these parts. In ten minutes tho wind blew’n in all directions at onct, an th’ flakes was cornin’ down like as if some body up ther’n th’ sky was shavin’ ’em ofFn big ice cakes. Soon’s I see’d th’ trail was chokin’ up, ‘Lem,’ rays L let’s dig fur the cabin.’ Never whim pered a word, but picked up his tools an’ follered. I’vo had rough knocks ’n the mount’ns, but never nothin’ like thet We must hev lost the trail a dozen times. “Onct 1 .cm says, scart like: ’Tom, ’spose he’s got home?* -'Tween me an* you I hed doubts, but rays I: ‘Yes, sure.’ "Barkeep! S’more water. Thank’ee! My best respects, stranger! “Well, sir, th’ junier warn’t at home, jest as 1 thought Makes me shudder to this present minute to rec’lect th’ cuss words thet Lem let go on. An’ some how—you’ve hed a light blow out on ye when ther was no wind s’far’s you could see?—same way ’Lem shut off swearin’. He ain’t swore sence. All of a suddent he jest stopt an’ looked at me insane- like. “ 'Now Lem,’ rays I, ’don’t give up thet way. ‘Th’ “junier’s” all right. He’s only ofFn th' trail, an’ we’ll go back an’ find him.’ “Never was a more helplesser man than Lem. He follered me out into camp, dazed, an’ as I called th boys an tole 'bout ‘th’ kid’ lost up on th’ mount'n, he never spoke. But we all know’d how he felt. We got up a crowd right quick —nobody were 'fraid of thet snowstorm when they heerd the kid was in it—’bout twenty on us, ole Lem follerin round like a dumb animal. As we started off some feller spoke up an’ says: ’Le’s take a rope; p’rhape he’s fallen into a shaft.’ "Lem just groaned an' said no more. “Says I, ’No, we can go up for the Owl Roost lay-out 'fhe has. an' I ain't tliinkin, «o,‘ to brace up Lem.

Yes, sir; Lem’s our preacher. “My respects, stranger; ’member me to Lem.”—Cowen in Chicago News. A Frenchman in Boston. Having heard much of Boston baked beans, I went to a place said to be famous for them. I ordered a dish, ate a few, then pushed the plate aside, a much disappointed man. Molasses and beans baked together in a slice of fat pork—heavens! There is one item of steady diet here that must strike all foreigners as most remarkable. TTie habit which too many Americans have of masticating toothpicks is very dis agreeable. I’ve seen Bostonians leave the dinner table holding toothpicks between their teeth. I’ve seen them in the parlor, talking to ladies, and I’ve seen them walking in the street, still with a bit of quill or wood in their mouth. These same persons would scorn to pick their teeth at table. When, a sliver of meat happens to lodge between two incisors, it must be got rid of. So up go boLh hands or a handkerchief as a shield, and then, with clever finger work, the sliver is removed. This operation looks vily much as if the person was taking out his or her false teeth under cover. Clever people ought not to do this; nor should they sit at table as if in a room where there was a corpse. Except for the rattling of dishes, you would not hear enough noise in a public dining room in this country to frighten a fly. It is ever so much better; seated at table, to enjoy ourselves naturally and without overmuch of formality. What with conversation and laughter, a French dining-room is, indeed, a noisy place, 6ut not very often a disagreeable one, and most certainly it never has the appearance of a morgue.—Boston Her ald. hand writing by the simplest things. I am obliged to be careful even with my eating in order to keep my nerves in proper condition. I can not eat com beef and cabbage, for instance, and read my notes with the facility that I like. (This stenographer redictates all of his notes to short-hand amanuenses, who are themselves accomplished writers.) Often, when I have been traveling over the country with investigating commit tees, when they have accepted invita tions to lunches and dinners, I have been compelled to decline the invita tions, in order to keep my nerves in good trim for the work of the day. Some of the congressional reporters are so broken down at the end of a long session that they have to take trips to Hot Springs to recuperate. Some of them make it a point not to do any short-hand writing during the vacation, in order that their ngrves may secure the proper tone for the winter work. Some have had the idea that the phono graph might ultimately take the place of the short-band writer, and that every lawyer or public man could have one of these instruments in his office and talk into it, and then send the little strips away to be written out. But the phonograph has not met the expecta tions of its inventor in that particular. The voices of most people are not strong enough to talk into the phono graph for any considerable period, and that instrument has not the faculty which the stenographer has of giving the proper answers to the direction—' please repeat the last work.”—Wash ington Cor. Inter Ocean. Chloroform in the Dentist’s Chair. Briefly, then, I will bring out the facts: Chloroform in the dentist’s chair is a dangerous agent, utterly unreliable, thoroughly unsafe and only permissible where an experienced physician is the administrator. Sulphuric ether is not so dangerous, and, when administered by a physician, rarely produces death. Any of the compounds of ether carry with them the same danger. The other agent, nitrous oxide,' or laughing gas, as it is commonly called, is, when properly prepared and administered, a safe and re liable agent. YVhile the fact remains as proof of its safety that thousands thoughout the country are using it, it is also true that the thorough success of it is marred by incompetent, ignorant men.—Dentist in Brooklyn Eagle. An Archwologi*t’s Discovery. Halbherr, the archaeologist, who is at work in Crete for the Italian govern ment, has found a number of votive of ferings in bronze and clay in a cavern which is called after Jupiter, because he is supposed to have been born therein. Remains of half-burned ox and goat horns, bronze knives, anc^ arrow-heads indicate that there was some sort of worship on the spot There is an outer and an inner cavern with stalactites and a river.—N.

This will give from the acre 700 pounds of l;nt, which is equal to two small hales from one acre.—Carroll Coun ty Timer. Gossip has It that if Mr. Carlisle had failed of election the President would have been asked to appoint Mr. Breckenridge, of Centucky, to the Turkish mission, so that a vacan ey might have been created to pro Tide another way to Congr. a.i for Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Morrison is now men tioned as a good man to be minis ter plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to Turkey, in the place of S. S. Cox, who comes to Congress, possibly to succeed Mr. Morrison as leader of the Demo cratic party in the House. The belief that the Legislature of California is Democratic and will probably elect Senator ilearst, will make the next Senate stand: Repub licans, thirty-nine; Democrats, thirty-seven. This calculation in cludes a Democrat to succeed Beau Harri on, from Indiana, which is now assured. The Republican ag gregate of thirty-nine includes Riddleberger, the readjuster, who often jum s from under the party- lash. Van Wyok, of Nebraska, also is inclined to independence. Both Riddleberger and Van Wyck are opposed to any factions opposition to,the administration. To all incents and purposes it may be said that the Senate is evenly divided politi cally. Fatigue Weaken, the Memory. Fatigue of every form is weakening to the memory. Impressions received when we are tired are not permanently fixed in the mind, and their reproduc tion is often impossible. Fatigue is the result of an excessive activity of any faculty, continued until its stored-up nutriment is exhausted. After a period of rest, and a return to normal condi tions, the memory also returns. A very interesting illustration of the result of fatigue upon memory has been given by Sir Henry Holland. He says: “I de scended on the same day two very deep mines in the Hartz mountains, remain ing some hours under ground in each. While in the second mine, exhausted by fatigue and inanition, I felt the utter impossibility of talking longer with the German inspector who accompanied me. Every Genian word and phrase deserted my recollection; and it was not until I had taken food and wine and been at rest for some time that my memory re turned.” A fact like this, and many others which might be mentioned, goes to show that there is a close relation between memory and nutrition.—How to Strengthen the Memory. Effects of Electric Light. The light from an electric light tower in Davenport, Iowa, falls full upon a flower garden about 109 feet away, and during the past summer the owner has abserved that lilies which have usually bloomed only in the day have opened in the night, and that morning glories have unclosed their blossoms as soon as the electric light fell on them.—New York Sun.

Ther warn’t Atlanta, Ga., November 9.— Che clay set apart for the inaugura tion of a new Governor cartie in cold, rainy and thoroughly disagree able. This may account in a large measure for the fact that the crowd >f out-of-town Visitors was much smaller thau had been expected by (he managers of the occasion. Still there was a fair crowd in attend ance,and the streets for a time took ■ >n a holiday appearance. The military feature was not bril liant, but creditable, and a few mil- it iry organizations which acted as an escort of honor attracted atten tion and admiration. The Govern or-elect and his escort reac.ed the capitol at 12 o’clock. Inside, in the hall of the House of Representatives, due preparations had been made for the event. When the noon hour arrived, the House, which had been in session since 10 o’clock, was notified by the doorkeeper thatthe Senate wasawaitingthejointsessiou. That body was admitted and the . chair assumed by President Davidson. Long before this time the galler ies were packed, the talr sex being present in large numbers. Many ladies occupied seats on the floor of the House. Among these were the wives and daughters of the stale of ficials, Mrs. McDaniel, Miss Gypsie McDaniel, Miss Fannie Gordon, Miss Warren, and others,' who were ush ered tn in advance <i the Governor- elect, aiid were seated near the dp-.Kir’s desk. Before the advent of the Govern or elect, the joint resolutions relat ing to the occasiotf, the declaration .if the official count of the stat*- election, and the report of the joint committee on inauguration were read by the Secretary of the Sen ate. Before any further proceedings the President, recognizing tne con dition of the building and the inse curity arising from the presence of feature such a large crowd) called public attention to the fact by saying “For prudential reasons, not neces sary to tie stated, the audience is re quested to refrain lrom applause during the ceremonies.” Following this the doorkeeper an nounced in a loud and imposing voice that the joint committee and the Governor-eiect awaited the pleasure of the General Assembly The President ordered that they be admitted. The party entered in the following order: General Gordon, escorted by Sen ator James, chairman of the Senate committee. Governor McDaniel, escorted by Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, chairman of the House committee. Ex-President Butherford B. Hayes, escorted by Senator Butt. Prof. Francl3 Whaley, of Yale, ex-Lieutenant-Governor of Connec ticut, escorted by Hon. Morgan Rawls, of Effingham Following these were the state House officials, United States Sen ators Joseph E.
