Tlioy Didn’t Shoot Him, Years ago, when hut n few whilo men had seen the Rocky Mountains, nnd only a very few ol tho Western snvnROs knew tho ttso of Hro-arm' 1 , a mnn named Fitzpntriok wrts ono day separated from liis companions while pursuing game in the wilderness, nnd was chased by ■ war-pnrty of IndintiB, ■ Tltoro was not tho smallest clinnco of osoapo for him; blit tho young hunter made a feint of turning nwuv, in or.lor, if possible, to gain time, lie happened to know that the savages, who as yot were littlo ac quainted with tho use of Hru-nrms, had several times, when tlioy hail taken white prisoners, put t ho muzzles of their ritles closo to their breasts and tired them, by way of experiment, to sco what wouid come of it. Mo therefore thought it prudent to extract tho bullet from his, nnd thou continued his (light. Tito In dians followod, nnd very soon overtook him. They disarmed hint, and tied him to a trpe. One of the savages, who, it appeared, understood how to pull a trig ger, then seized tho rllle, placed liira- solf a few paces in front of tho owner of it, took aim at Ills breast and fired; but when tho Indians looked eagerly through tho smoke toward where Fitz patriek stood, they saw that ho was safo uud sound in his' place. Quietly tho hunter took out of his pooket tho bul- lot, which ho lnul previously placed there, and tossed it to his enemies, who wero all amazement. They declared that he had arrested tho bullet in its flight, aud was a wonder-working con jurer; and, what was more, that s me ;rcat misfortuue would most likely he- .all the tribo if they did not set him free. Tlioy therefore cut his ■ bonds nnd made. off as. fast ns possible, leaving Fitz patriok to go where ho pleased. Hie Now Orleans Exposition. NOTES FROM THE 1’OItTFOLIOS OF THU ltElMItTERS. The most picturesque building in the ground is that of tho Chicago and-St. Paul Railroad, a largo Swiss obalot built of leaves of grain, the ornaments made of oorn in tho ear, nnd containing every vegetable raised in tho distriot. Arizona sends 50,000 specimens of minerals, gold, silvor, copper, lead, aud iron,- ns-weli as flrs of tho fossilized forests of Apaoho countv, whose petrified woods admit of a polish in which tho hues of tho jasper, the onyx, nnd the rnby seem to bleud.

The elovntor way was a continuous open ing from tho basement to the top floor and guvo the blaze a good draft. As to tho exuct location of tho flro tliero can bo no certainty, but it is generally believed that it began about tho second floor and worked its way rapidlv up tho elevator and gained a grip on each floor. Many of tho rooms in each floor were occupied ns sleeping apartments. Families had suits of rooms elegantly and handsomely equipped. Tho occupants of those w*oro all asloep, and when they uwoko tho hallways wero bo densely tilled with Binoko that BuiTocation would havo been tho rosult had uny one ventured out. J. II.
