Senator Camden, of West Virginia, has just returned from a brief sojourn .ic Florida, whither he went to seek relief from Senatorial overwork, says a recent letter in the Baltimore Herald. He is < hock full of stories about the adventures he had iu the land of orange blossoms. “One day,” said he, “I went out hunt ing, but, between you nnd me, I’m no slouch with a gun. After killing a few deer, one or two bears, thirty or forty ■squirrels and a dozen or so wild turkeys, I concluded to return to the hotel. It was still early, but I was tired packing round my load of game. I was going along the bank of a creek, and coming across a friendly log I thought I would sit down and rest, I laid my rifle and game down by the log and took a scat. I had a lunch of cold chicken in my haver sack. I had breakfast at daylight and was pretty hungry. So I took out the chicken and began to eat. When I had finished my repast I to.ik the pocket knife I had been using to cut the chicken and drove the blade into the log, intend ing to let it rest there until I could get out my pocket-handkerchief and wipe my hands. But, great scot! You ought to have seen that log! It was (he most sensitive log I ever saw. When I drove my knife into it, quicker than lightning, it humped itself like a bucking mule and gave me a flap with its little end that sent me sprawling about thirty feet away. Blame my buttons, if that log wasn’t a Florida alligator twenty-eight feet long, with a tail like a cross-cut saw and teeth as sharp and long as tusks of a b >ar. “When I scrambled to my feet and looked at the log—l mean the aligator—- there it was, standing rampant on its feet, with eyes gariug and its teeth grinding savagely together. I dared not run, for I was told never to run from an alligator, as he would be sure to pur sue and overtake me. So I stood trans fixed to the spot, What did the alliga tor do? Keeping his gaze fixed steadily upon me, he deliberately backed to whgjie my pile of game lay and pitched in. First he ate up the bears, then the deer. Smacking his chops like a regu lation boarding-house hash-eater, he then turned on the squirrels and wild turkeys, and when he got through there wasn’t a hair or feather to be seen. I’ll undertake to sky that no alligator ever before had such a rare banquet. How the alligator held all that feed I don’t understand, but lie did. When he got through there wasn’t a thing left but my rifle, and he noseyed around that for several seconds as if he intended io eat it, too, but he didn’t. JVhat did he do then? Well, sir, that alligator deliberately turned his tail to the bank, and, keeping his eye on me, backed to the edge. Then, witli a snort and a bellow, he plunged lail-fore most into the water. I got to my rifle in the fraction of a second, rushed to the edge and looked down. I was pantiug for revenge, but I couldn’t sec anything except a succession of Waves impelling each other toward the other shore. The alligator was at the bottom of the stream. I staid there an hour watching for him, but he was too sharp to come to the sur face. I bet you lie’s got that knife ol mine sticking in his back yet,for I drove it in pretty deep. You see, the alligator was sound asleep when I was sitting on h ni. but sticking the knife in him wok< him up.” _ , A Dangerous Pastime. “Isn’t it against the rules to touch the animals at the menagerie, ma?” asked Bobby. “I believe so,” was the reply. “An’dangerous, too, ain't it?” “Oh, yes.” “Well, pa had better look out, then. I heard Mr. Smith tell him that if he didn’t quit pulling the tail of the tiger he’d be lorry for t.”— Jfw Jerk Timet, THE NEWS IN GENERAL. HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST FROM ALL POINTS. EASTERN AND MIDDLE STATES. *Fhe recent unusually severe and prolonged rain storm flooded about twenty colieries in the Schuylkill (Penn.) anthracite coal basin, and compelled a cessation of work, nearly 6,000 men and boys being temporarily thrown out of employment. In an interview at Scranton. Penn., Gener al Master Workman Powderly says that iu view of the railroad officials’ refusal to sub mit the difficulties in the Southwest to arbi tration, the Knights of Labor were justified in continuing the strike.

A WOMAN BOYCOTTED. How Hr., (.ray’s Bakery Business wnl ! Increased Thereby. The New York papers contain a rather amusing account of an attempt made by a hand of uuion bakers to boycott the bakery of Mr.?. Fslhor A. Gray, on Hudson street, 1 be muse she refused to compel her h dp to join the bakers’ union. An account of the boy cotters anil their methods is given by a met ropolitan daily as follows: Tin l meu seemed to be in charge of a man who called himself Schmidt and said he was a “walking delegate.” He refused to answer anv questions, and no one seemed to be able or willing to restrain the men from annoying pedestrians, whether customers of the bakery or not. Outside tli? store of Mrs. Graj', was one lonesome-looking policeman, who simply stood still and mnxle no attempt to prevent the molestation of customers by the boy cot ters. In some cases customers were followed to their homos and memoranda made of their addresses. While her tormentors were engaged in their effort to wreck her business Mrs. Gray was busilv engaged iu her store celling her bread, cates and pies to her customers. “So far as 1 have been able to judge,” she re marked, “my trade has increased since the boycott was ordered. I have customers now that did not come before, aud the loss ha? been from the very poorest class of trade. My lm n have been kept busier than ever,and I expect that business will be good right along. I askpd the police to protect me, anl an officer was sent here. He is standing right outside the door. My custom ers complain of being annoyed by these men, but what ran I do* I don’t want to let the boy cotters run my business. Why should I? My men are satisfied as they are; they don’t want to join a union, an l what these uuion men have to do with tie matter I can’t see. They certainly take the cake, but I don’t think they’ll get my bakery away from me.” Tiie grocery stores in the neighborhood which sold Mrs. Gray’s bread have all ceased selling it, as a boycott was threatened against them if they continued to deal with the steadfast lady. A lad}' who bought seme bread and cake at the bakery went to a grocery store in the vicinity and ordered some groceries. She asked the clerk to send the bread, cake and groceries to her home. “Whoso bread have you i" asked the clerk. “Why, what difference does that make?” asked the astonished lady. “Nothing; ouly if it’s Gray’s bread wo can’t even send it home for you. There is a boycott against it.” “Then if you can’t send the bread nnd cake ' you needn’t send any groceries,” remarked the lady. Many men living up town stopped at tin bakery during the evening an l bought bread or cake to take home as .an evidence of their appreciation of the stand taken by Mrs. Gray. People living in Hoboken also made purchases cn their way to tho Christopher street ferry. It was rumored about tho Ninth Ward late in the evening that tho boycotters were th nking of raising the siege as a means of preventing the further growth of Mrs. Gray’s business.

LOUIS WAR. more rloodshej) Tin ; iu:si r/i OF THE RAILROAD STRIKES. \ Collision Between Oflleers nnd Slriker* In Which the Former Fire :i Volley. The bloody collision betwem strikers an l deputies at Fort Worth, Texas, has been fol lowed by a still more terrible'and deplorable episode in East. St. Louis, 111., on th i Missis sippi river, and just opposite St. Louis. The trouble, as described by dispatches, cam * about as follows: The varims railroa is svm dto b. moving ail uuusna'.ly Largo quantitvabf ;ght, par Ocularly the Louisville & Nashville. Wnen tli strike was ordered ' tweutj'-seven of this company’s left its service. Their pin iL * were qni ddy filled, and thirty deputy sheriffs were eai ployel by tho company to proteat the new men anil its property. Tho otlLer.s were ai\n*d with W incuoster rifles, s >nu of them carrying revolvers also. T. G. Hewlett was m ide their leader. More than half the force guarded the freight housos of tho company, while the rest of them protected incoming an l outgoing train;. Trains wore continually pass ing t > and fro from the freight h msesallday, and before 10 o’clock in the morning him dreds of idle men and boys and a few women gatherel on and about the rickety wooden bridge that spans a small ho ly of muddy wa ter known as Cahokia creek. The Louisville and Nashville road running west croseo; this crook on a trestle. At 10 o’clock 300 persons stood on the bridge watching tho trains pass. Tli? rougher element cursed the trainmen, and promised them at short shrift in the near fu ture. The depuiy sheriffs who stood on the trestle work were treated in the same way. Sheriff Roplequet appeared with a small posse and ordered the crowd to disperse. The law-abiding persons in it di 1 so. The others paid no attention to the deman 1. The shiriff left tho ground at once aud tele graphed to Governor Oglesby the condition of affairs and asked for military h dp. Mean while* the crowd ha l never moved from its p ttiblon or changed its tactics except t> grow more violent iu its demonstrations against the tra’union and their guards. It suffer© I de sertions hut gained more than it lost, and at. 2 o'clock tho liridgo an 1 its vicinity was oc cupied by a mob of 40.) or 500 persons. Many of the younger men in it carried stones in their hands, and when opportunity offered hurled them at tho armed men on the trestle work or at the men on passing trains. Sav age curses and epithets were also hurled at them. Nine men stood on the trestle work. Th*y were between two crowds and fa"od about at short intervals. Tho only on? who exhibited a revolver was Charles Kensler, the “cowboy fireman.” lie carried two pistols iu hi? belt and had tin* barrel of his Win chester slung over his left arm. The guards made no reply to the abuse showered ou them and tho mob grew bolder. It stood on a thoroughfare and felt safe. Finally one man stepped on the company’s property. 1 >eputy Hewlett promptly arrested him. A part, of the mob surged forward to the rescue. A voice cried “Kill the cowboy.” There was a pistol shot, which in a few seconds was followed by tho ringing reports of Wiuchest?r rifles'. The shrieks and yells that rose from the? crowd could be heard on the bridge, a third **f a mil * away. “Crack, crack” v.nfc the deadly rifles. The crowd split into two unequal parts and ran like mad in opposite directions. The small and the weak were knocked down and trampled upon. Terror was king and drove all before him. The deadly hail had been fired at short range against a solid wall of flesh and blood. The guards were seemingly appalled at the ex tent and nature of the retaliation they had inflicted ou their persecu tors. On the bridge and roadway lay Mrs John Pfeifer, shot through the spiuo and uurtally wounded; John Bonner, a coal miner, dead; Oscar Washington, a painter, devl; Patrick Dris.Mll, a Wabash sectio.i hand, dead, and Major Rychman, a roll in; mill e nploye, shot in tho head and shoulder, mortally wounded. When tho fleeing mob recovered from its terror, and turning saw its assailants in full flight toward the Louisville and Nashvill? freight house, shouts rose from it of “To arms, to arms,” and men who stood over the den l and wounded vowed they would have a terri ble revenge. Some of the wildest spirits rushed through the town calling on the strikers and their friends to arm them selves and kill all deputy sheriffs on sight. Pale-faced men soon appeared n the streets armed with revolvers mil shotguns. Hero and there a man could be seen carrying a small coil of rope. Th ? cry of “Hang them” kept pace with that of “Kill them all.” Tiie fleeing guards never stopped till thoy reached tho Louisville and Nashville freight house. They quickly warned th ir comrades to flee to St. Louis for their lives. Rome of the men refused, and barricaded the freight house with the in tention of protecting it agaiust assault. These men were afterward com ©llo 1 to fly and narrowly escaped with their lives. Hunting parties were organize 1 by their enemies, an l every cranny that could pbssibly shelter a do mty sheriff was searched. The fleeing deputies were crossing the iron bridge on their way to St. L mis when they were met by Mayor Joyce, of East St. Louis, and some officers, aud aske.l to return, but they refused to go back. Mayor Joyce and Officer Dowd endeavored V) drag two of tLe guards with them. One of the guards who wnsn tin custody raised his rifle and tired in l.ho direction o? tho crow 1. O. E Til > up? >a, of St. T'Ouis, droppe 1 in his trades, shot in tin I stomach. At this report the two guards with Mayor Joyce aud Officer Dowd tore t hem selves loose. One of them struck the mayor with his diibbed rifle, knocking him down. Both men at once joined their companions and continued their flight a toss the bridge. The scene on the bridge was one of wildest confusion and excitement. Coal trains lcadol aud unload© 1, and vehfcle; of all do ©Options engage l in a wild race to St. Louis. Women an 1 men on foot were running toward the city, and waving back all tli ?y met, while immediately behind came the deputies pursued by the vanguard of the crowd from East St. Louis. One of the frightened guards throw his gun into the river, while another hi l his weap n in the loart of a sake wagon that was in full re treat. The firing hid been heard iu mid-river by people on the ferry boats, who witucs e l nil uuusual scene on the levee. Frightouo l horses dashe l hither and thither, nnd while hundreds hurrie l toward tho s;>ot Whence tho reports seemed to come, a? many dashed in an opposite direction. The huge bridge shook and swayed as the lino of immense draft horses thundered over it. Teamsters shouted an l acted as if destruction was at their heels, and pedestrians were pe‘- ri led with astonishment as the long liue 6“ vehicles flashed into Washington avenue at racing pace. A crowd gathered instantly and choked the entrance to the bridge. Not more than thirty minutes after the shooting C. R. Barnard, master of transpor tation for the Louisville & Nashville road, an 1 James A. Chesney, another official, met the mob neir the eastern terminus of the i bridge. They had boon at dinner n;ar tli? relay station aud knew nothing of the shooting. They were mistaken for deputy sheriffs anl fired upon. They ran tthe Ohio & Mississippi freight hou-e, and there, instead of guards, met auotte.* detachment of the mob, which also tired on them. Chesney was shot through the legs aud fell. He was jumped on and kicked un til his assailants suopo? *d h ? was dea 1. Ba - nard escaped and gathered a number of friends, who took Chesney to a place of safe ty. He was seriously if not fatally injure l. Soon after these terrible occurrences a ma 1 iened crowd gathered iu a square at Eas /St. Louis. It was harangued by a mau named Dwyer, who urged the people to “hang and kill.” A committee of the Knights of Labor ippeq.red from St. Louis, however, and couu el§4 moderation. Attar an exciting ooIJq. piv the efforts of tho Knights prevailed, an 1 die crowd for the time lieing gave up it? d3- j termination to retaliate by burning and kill ing. Upon receiving a telegraphic account of the shooting from the sheriff, Governor : Oglesby immediately dispatched several com panies of militia to the scene of disturbance. Seven companies of militia arrived from Springfield aud other poiuts, nt East St. Louis at 10:15, p. m. Three more companies .:ame later on. During the night the freight house of tho Louisville and Nashville road was sot on lire, i and the Cairo Short lane depot was similarly , served. HURLED INTO ETERNITY. A FRIGHTFUL ItAILHOAD WRECK 1 V MA SSA CII IS E TTS. A Train I’liiDße, llimn an l-'iiibanltiiiriil 200 Feet High. A Greenfield (Mas?.) dispatch of tho 7th gives the following particulars of the fright ful railroad disaster which occurred that night, midway between Bard well’s ferry and West Deerfield station, the east bound passen ger train from North Adams, due at Green field at 6:05 r. m. going over an embankment 200 feet in height: The train was the Eastern express, and con* sist vl of a baggage car, a smoker, a sle *ping car, a mail car, and two ordinary passenger , cars. r l h > train was in charge of Con ductor Foster, with Herbert Littlejohn as engine .r. Tho point where the accident o*- | curred is the most dangerous on the road, i The track runs on the edge of an embankment ! 20i) feet above Deerfield river. The hank is ; steep and is covered with huge boulders and | masses of shale rock with which the road-bed , had boon filled. When the train arrrived at this point the track began to settle under i it for a distance covering its entire length. The coaches broke from their trucks and went I rolling over and over down the precipice. : The engine broke from tho tender, tearing up the track for twenty feet. Below rolled tho i Deerfield river, on tho very edge of which ; the cars were thrown. As soon as they struck i they caught fire from the stoves. The shrieks i of the wound© 1 and dying filled the air, ami 1 for a time the scene was terrible. Tho sieep i ing car, occupie l by several passengers, was an entire wreck. One little girl was picked up dead. i As soon as tho news reached Greenfield a special train was ma le up aud sent to the | scene of the disaster, having on hoard sever al physicians and section men and a few j citizens.

Bealli c.f a Young Baltimore Pliyairiun. Dr. Brinton H. Warner, a young physician of Baltimore, who had established a good praeli-o and was making rapid progress in his profession, died the other morning of hy drophobia. Dr. Warner was bitten on ■ Christmas day. He was passing along the | street when he saw a lapdng, which had been run over diy a horse car, and h id dragged it i self, bruised and bleeding, over the cohble ; stonei. He was very fond of dogs, and with a kindly feeling thought he would convoy the tiny animal home, nurse it and make ; a pet of it Taking out his handkerchief he I tied it around the dog’s nock and tried ,to induce the animal to follow him !to diis homo, a block westward, ou Saratoga rt:eet. die made three at j tempts to indu -e the dog to foil >w him, when suddenly it turned its h-nd an l bit him on the back of bis right hand. Although the animal exhibited no symptoms of hv drophobia, Dr. Warner at once cant rizi'd his wounds, three or four teeth marks, and a policeman soon afterward shot ami killed the dog. Dr. Warner was naturally of a nervous ' dis;o lition, and often worried over the bit>, although it gave him no pain. Thursday he was tu' on slightly ill bin; yvent to his office as usual. The next day in fell upon the kitchen floor, and when picked up was very nervous and excited. Saturday lie went to bod and the delirium began. The symptoms of rallies had become pronounced. There was a wild look about the eyes, lie could not swallow water, and in his delirium ! l>e imagined there were dogs under the bed. So vividly was this idea impressed on bis mind that ho spron from his bed and rushed to another part of the room, but the animals seemed to pursno him wherever ho went, and ho moved resl- I lessly about from side to side of the apart raunt in a vam effort 1 1 e cane. A number of loading physicians were in attendance; every | inode of treatment was tried, including the j Kuss an hath, but instead of g-ttin-’- beitcr he grew wors_e. At midnight an Episcopal minister was summoned to his ! bedside. After the clergyman had departe 1 , another paroxysm seized tho young man, and imo after another these convulsions re run-el until in one of them, iu which he frothed at the mouth during the intensity of the spasm, ho died after suffering the most hoi r.dile agonies.

A story they tell about Andrew Jeck, the veteran railway mail clerk, comes in well at this time, when they arc making so many changes in the postal service. Jeck is the oldest railway mail clerk in Maine and there are few, if any, on the postal cars anywhere, as old as lie; yet he is active, efficient, and as sharp as a leiu : of removal from Vilas. Years ago another fellow succeeded in getting himself appointed to til! deck's place. Of course Jeck consented to make one or two trips with him to show him the ropes. It happened that on the first trip they made together there was an acci dent and the car was thrown from the track. Jack caught firmly hold of his table when he felt the first jar and came out of the accident unscathed and not in the least disconcerted. The novice was flung in a heap into one corner and badly bruised. “Does this sort of thing happen very often?” he asked Jeck. “Oh, yes,” said Jeck, “And I forgot to tell you that we all have a place to cling to, when it comes. You must have a holding-place purposely flxed to get a stiff grip on with your hands.” The top of the car was much battered by time and the new man asked, before they had gone much further on the route: I “Jlr. Jeck, what has made all those j scars in the top of the ear?” “That’s nothing,” said Jeck, “It’s , only where my heels have struck when : I've been tossed into the air by accidents such as we have had this morning.” When they linished their run, the new I appointee said he guessed he had enough of it, and would go back to selling groceries for a living; and Jeck stayed ' in the railway mail service then and ever ; after. Jokers Outwitted. A party of smart young, students in a ■ certain town in Kentucky conceived the brilliant idea last winter of hazing their new professor. It was decided after much deliberation to invite him coon hunting, and after leading him about in the woods until completely bewildered to abandon him, and let him find his way back to the settlement or remain in the woods all night. Now, as the professor was a stranger and weighed over two hundred pounds, this scheme seemed too i funny for anything, and many a hearty laugh did they have over it. The invi tation was given and accepted; the ap pointed night came, cold and clear with several feet of snow on the ground. Everything moved along ns arranged. The professor seemed guileless and un suspecting, but beneath his puffy eyelids now and then gleamed an amusing twin kle. They had plodded through the snow for several hours, and the leader was about to give the signal to disperse when the professor sank to the ground with a groan of agony. “Oh! oh!” he moaned, “oncof my at I tacks again. For mercy!* sake, boys, i get me to a place of shelter, or I’m a dead man.” Talk about scared boys. Here they \ were nearly five miles from the nearest house and an apparently dying man on their hauds. Something must be done, nnd quickly, too! A litter was hastily improvised, aud with coats for cushions, , the professor was gently laid thereon and I homeward they started, a sorry set of Subscription $1.50 in A drome NUMBER 16. practical jokers, taking turns at carrying their massive preceptor. Not a sound was heard but the moans of the professor anil the grunts of tne students, who were straining every nerve to keep from jostling the patient. After what seemed a score of miles, the weary, bedraggled fellows carefully lowered their burden to snatch a few minutes’ rest, before entering the village, which was within a stone’s throw, when, what was their surprise to see the professor leisure ly arise from his comfortable couch and coolly observe: “Jluch obliged, lioys! much obliged. But one word. The next time I wanted to play practical jokes I would select an invalid fora subject,” and with a chuckle he strode off. And those boys sat there in the snow and raved until they incited a place about them of half an acre. —Sum the Scaramouch. Preacher and Landlord. When Rev. Dr. Tappan was the agent of the American Home Mission society he once made a trip through the northeast ern part of Maine on horseback. It was before the days of railroads. On arriv ing at Mattawamkeag, where he was pleasantly entertained, he was told he had better remain over night there, as the, place which he intended to make his next station was rather rough and un comfortable, and the landlord was a rude, blasphemous man, who might not use him well. But Dr. Tappan was anxious to carry out his itinerary as he had planned it, and journeyed on. Ho ar rived at his destination at dusk. The land lord came out, greeted him cordially. | took his horse and put him up, hastened | in to help entertain his reverend guest, prepared a nice warm supper for him, and was as polite us a lightning-rod agent. Just before Dr. Tappan retired, the landlord and all his family, arranged in procession according to their ages filed into the room with much decorum, and the j doctor was asked to lead them in family worship, which he cheerfully did. The next morning after the doctor had ; dressed, the host, his wife, his boys, and all his girls, all neatly attired, came in \ again, and the same request was made and granted. After a good breakfast the doctor’s nag was brought to the door, saddled and bridled, and the good man prepared jto go on his way. He asked for his ' bill. “Not a cent,” said the landlord, cheer i ily. The doctor thought this reply was strange from a landlord preceded by such an ill reputation, and said : “Why ! I must pay you for my entertainment.” “You don’t owe me a cent," said the inn-keeper. “The fact is that tin ped dlers, butchers, drovers, fishmen, and all classes of people come here to stop with j me, and I make it a point to take my pay lin their own line whenever I can. I’ve | done tho same by you. You’ve paid. | Good morning, sir!” The good old divine used to tell this anecdote himself with great relish.— Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Not a Cancer but a Lizard. Jfrs. J. C. AYiliiston, the wife of a contractor and builder of Cleveland, Ohio, has recently returned from an ex tended trip after a most remarkable ex perience. Mrs. AYiliiston is not yet thirty, but her hair is almost white, and her face bears the signs of a life of suf fering. She has been the victim for years,at varying hours of uightand day,of pains like the cutting of a knife, and physicians supposed her to be suffering from cancer of the stomach. Em inent physicians failed to exactly locate the trouble or afford the lady relief. She spent months in travel and large amounts of money endeavoring to find effective treatment for her malady, but most of the physicians whom she consulted said that her disease was cancer of the stom ach and that death would ultimately re sult. Last October she went to San Fran cisco, stopping nnd treating, while eu rpute, at the soda springs of Idaho, but in vain. Later she tried the waters of . Calestoga Springs and the baths of Passo del Robles, without effect. San Fran cisco's best physicians could afford no relief,and she started for Sonora, Mexico, intending to visit some celebrated springs near Nogales. She was taken seriously ill at Tucson, Arizona. One day during her illness a Papago Indian, of local notoriety as a “medicine man,” i visited Tucson from St. Xavier's mission, i He was taken to Jlrs. Williston's rooms I and asked if he could tell her ailment. j He looked at her, had her describe the l pains and their location, and then with the exclamation, “Me sabe heap bad spirit,” lie rushed out and toward the mission. In a few hours lie returned with herbs and a basket of mescal, a root used by the Indians for food. He motioned to Jlrs. Williston to swal low the herbs. They made her deathly sick, so much so that she almost died from fright, thinking she had been poisoned. The result, after a few hours, was the emission of a dead lizard that was fully four inches in length. It was apparently of a species common to the East, but how it had managed to live for so many years was the mystery. Mrs. AYiliiston says that but one explanation occurs to her, which is that when a child, and living at Phillipsburg, N. J., she and her brother were accustomed to drink from a little brook that ran near the house. They would scoop the water up with their hands, and she thinks that possibly in this way she swallowed the embryo lizzard. Mrs. JVilliston’s re covery has been rapid, and she is now fairly ou tho way to a complete restora tion to health. Though the taking of living objects into the system is not rare, medical men say that this is one of the most remarkable cases on record. A Remarkable Cave. Away down in the southwest of Nevada there is a remarkable cave in the side of the mountains. Negr by. a little rill of water pours down the.slope, soon to bo swallowed up by the thirsty soil. The broken-off shafts ofa'rroyvs are to be seen sticking in the soft flock that constituted the root of the: xathedtai-dike dome. It is said that many years ago a party of the race of Shoshones were driven into this cave by their hereditary enemies, tho Piutes. Their defense was so stubborn that the council was called, and the peace made was to last so long as a single arrow remained imbedded in the rock overhead. Winnmmxa (*Y.) Silver State.
