A FEMININE flier SOIL
Eighteen Year* on a Desert Island—
How Site Lived and Drained.
S«n Francisco Correspondent Rochester Democrat.
Seventy miles from the shore is San
Nicholas Islam!, the sixth of (he group
that cluster around the bay of Santa
Barbara, California. It is celebrated
for having been the residence for
eighteen years of “The Lost Woman
San Nicholas." As her name is fa
mous and ns her story has been told
in romance, I will givo the bare facts
about her as I found them to bo with
out any nddod orament, and leave the
fiction to the pen of tho novelist.
The island of San Nicholas was once
densely populated. This is attested
by the skulls and bones and other
evidences of btiiimn abodo that are
found there. The Alaska Indians
frequently visited the island to hunt
for the furs of tho sea otter. They
took their women with them on these
bouts, aud on returning after the
hunt was over they left them on the
island to their fate.
By order of tho Government in 1846
the Imlinns were removed from the
island. Just before they were to em
bark and carry away every human in-
babitant, ns it was supposed, a white
Indian woman begged for the privilege
of going ashore for her child, which
she had accidently left. She was
gone a long time in a fruitless Beareb
for nor ollspriug. Tho wind blew a
gale, the water was shallow, there was
no ono who was seeking tho lost one.
They set sail, intending to return for
the lost woman of San Nicholas, but
tho boat becoming unsoawortby she
was left to her fate. It was generally
known lhat there was a woman aban
doned on tbu island, but no attempt
was made for her deliverance.
As tho world soon forgets, so the
woman of San Nichols was forgot
ten and the years passed away.
Alter tho Idapso of sixteen years a
in nil who landed on the island.fonDd
that it was inhabited by some oDe.
The footprints of a human being
sunk deep in the ground was seen
Thu hardness of the ground was an
indication that they Imd been made a
loug timo. From their size they evi
dently belonged to a woman. Circu
lar inclosures made of brush, six or
Seven feet through, were seen, where
some one had lived. Near the huts
were sticks driven in the ground and
dried blubber hnnging on them, thus
prepared for food.
Iu 1852 San Nicholas was visited
again and another hunt was mnde for
the long-lost woman. The huts were
seen that had been seen before, hut the
old blubber had been taken away and
new food of the king hung in its place.
Wild dogs were found whicli run away
at the approach of a civilized man. In
a basket co.ered with seal skius that
they found iu a bush-heap was n dress
inude of shag skins, cut in square
pieces, n rope lnaile of sinew and sev
eral smaller nnicies, such ns fish-hooks
and hone needles. The discoverers of
these proofs jhAt there lived on that
island a himmii being scattered them
ou the ground, aud on their return
they found them gathered together
uud placed iu the basket again.
The Catholic fathers of the “Old
mission," the foremost in every good
word and work, offered a reward to
iiuyoqu who would find the List wo
man, nnd a third y-ffoit was made in
1853 to • discover the prodigal about
whom there was such a mystery nnd
in whom the woHd of {hut eosst
was beginning to take tpi interest.
Fresh tracks of- the woman weh-
fonniU; TFbey blunged to m>
small feet, aud were like those that
were seen in the first attempt to find
the woman. Huts made of whale riba
and covered with brash were discov
ered. At length an object was seen
in the distance that appeared to be
moving. Going toward it they saw
the woman that for eighteon years bad
reigned queen of San Nicholas, her
subjects being the wild animals, her
robe a dress of bird skins she bad
made her throne the hut she had
built. She was seated in an enclos
ure, so that only her, head and sboul
ders could be seen. Two or three
dogs were about her that disappeared
nt the command of their sovereign.
She was seated on some grass that
covered tho ground and served ns a
bed. Her dress was nently made of
bird skins, extending to their ankles
tho feathers of wbieb pointed down
ward. Her bend vyas covered with o
thick mat of yellowish brown hair
and her shoulders were bnre. She
was occu-jied v.with blubber from a
picco of sualshiu which she held ncross
her knee and using for tbnt purpose
a knife made mnde of an ircu hoop,
In her hut was a firo besido which she
sat talking to herself and, occasion
ally shading her eyes with her hand,
looked ut the men that were in search
of her. ohe received them with much
courtesy, bowing nnd smiling and
showing that this lost child of nature
had ranch of the politeness of n true
woman. Slio took some roots nnd
gave them to tho men to eat. She
gathered up all her food, which was
her chief concern, awing to tho fain
ines she had experienced, washed her
self at the sprUrg^r and,JpD(jwe4JAe
men cheerfully to the boat. On be
ing taken to Santa Barbara manifest
ed great delight on seeing tho sights
of civilization. She become u favor
ite and was presented with many
ifts. Passengers on the Panama
steamer that landed there all wanted
to see the lost woman of Sun Nicho
las. She related by signs hor expe
rience ou the island, as she spoke a
language that none of the Indinn
dialects could understand. Civiliza
tion, wuicb prolongs the life of some,
shortened that of the woman of Sun
Nicolas. An excessive love of fruit
led to her death in Santa Barbara at
the age of 50. She wus buried with
the honors of the Catholic church by
toe Franciscan fathers, and her dress
and trinkets were sunt to Rome aud
placed iu that reeeptable of the
world’s curiosity.
The story of the lost woman of San
Nicolas will always remain u wonder
ment. Her ingeuuity is seen in the
pails she made o! grass, made to hold
wuter by smeariug them with melted
asphaltnm, and >u her bird-skin
dresses, her’ bone needles, her knife
of Loop iron and and the language she
invented ami spoke. It is inexplicable
to all who have learned her story how
a wornau coaid live eighteen years on
an island around which the waves
were heating a requiem to hope, get
ting her food and cooking it without
eveu those facilities which are com
mon to savage, and making her
dresses neatly without the uid of
needles except what she carved out of
bone. She laid aside oue dress tor
eigbteeu years, to be worn when the
while men suoulil Cornu, ol Which she
had a presentment. She built her
own house, protected herself from the
cold, gained snpieme control over the
wild beasts about her and preserved
her love for men and women tor welt
uigh two decades of tinmen, tile alone
in the wild. With un previous knowl
edge of civilization, soli Hide appeared
to have educated:-,>ber (or it. Au or
dinary woman would have perished
anti di«i«jiidei.ey'iu such a desolate
hungry, naked, shelterless outlook
A Word or Txvo on m Postal Card.
She walked np nnd down the cor
ridors of the postofHce for 10 or 15
minutes before asked of citizen who
was directing an envelope:
“Please, sir, but would you write a
word or two on a postal-card fot me 1 ?”
“Certainly, ma’am; where is it to
go ?’’
“To John Sessions, at Cleveland.
Put Esq. after his name. I some
times forget it, nnd it makes him
mad.”
“Your husband ?’’
“Of course. When I want a postal
card writteu to a strauge aian it will
be acold day. Now, then, begin'with
“My clearest husband.”
“I’ve got that.”
"Now, say that I am all right, the
baby is all right, and I haven't time
to write any more."
“Then you’ll want a P. S., that I
have only §2 left, uud shall look for
him to send me some next, week.”
“Yes’m.”
“That’ll bo all, except to say from
your-true wife to my lovieg husband,
and don't send less’u $5, and baby
weighs 18 pounds, and the weather is
still cold. Thanks; I’ll do as much
for you some day.”
ilusa*s Homo.
The modest square white dwelling
did not belong to the poet, but to the
Princess do Lusiguan, whose elabor
ate grounds and lordly mansion ad
joined the less pretentions homo of
Hugo. Wishing to end his days un
der his own roof,A4e great writer of-
fered to purchase the property, the
value of which ns u piece of real es
tate did not much exceed $25,000.
The princess asked $125,000 for it,
and when Hugo expressed bis sur
prise at so exorbitant a demand she
coaly remarked: “I do not think that
is too dear for a house that Victor
Hugo has lived in.”
"Then, Madame,” answered the
poet, ”1 cannot afford to live in the
houso that Victor Hugo has lived in.”
Then Hugo purchased his lot, and
began preparations for building
himself a house.

Never Hive Up.
Never give np the struggle; light
on. Call np idl the encouraging say
ings, proverbs, and feels yn cun
think of. Look at Ibe men who have
by sheer persistence come out ahead.
If yon die before yon win, you will
win before yon die. For there arc
two things yon seek— success mid a
strong character. The character that
ii-servi-s success is sncccR-dnl. He
who dies so enters upon a heavenly
inheritance; the other may not have
been bankrupt here, but he will he a
pauper in tbe world to come. For
all—rich or poor—the best motto in
their mutual relations Is that of the j started a newspaper,
prophet: “They helped every one hia
neighbor; and every one said to his
brother, be of good courage.”
A FUNNY MAN WHO MADE IT FAY.
Mark Twain.
“When I started my first, newspa
per, I was a Mississippi pilot and did
not start one at all. I only wrote a
few take-offs on a heroic liar who ran
lOAftha river and floated on his cboek.
He used to tell whoppers. He always
struck the biggest snag, ran the dark
est nights, slew tbe biggest pirates,
aDd burnt more pine wood than nny
other mnu on the river. He always
antedated everything thnt happened
with a bigger one. One day I stuffed
bim down the safety valve and blew
up the steuubont, escaping with my
own life, the only survivor to tell the
t ile. When I wrote up this account
my fame was established, nnd.it only
remained for me to start a newspaper
and tickle tho ear of foi-tnnu to get in
her lap. You know how I started
West to do the job; how myself and
partner, with onr “office” on a mule,
began the journey to California; how
tho Iodinus caused ns to go to press

wn loaded up onr howitzer first with
bullets, grape shot and tlm like, nr d

hired a ball in San Francisco to start
the lecture business. I put tho mule
up at the stable. The hotel man said
I needn’t pay in advance if the mule
would go my security. I consented,
and the mule stood me off for a
week's board. The hotel man hud an
idea ho had given 'me n prize joke,
aud that all the time I was loaded
down with gold dust. I took his taf
fy and played it right through. A
man with a big gold chain on bis
neck and all fixed up like a Bowery
lord said to me, “Stranger, you’re go
ing into the lecture business, I under
stand." “Yes,” said I, “I n>n going'
to hire a hall in town and talk about ’
the calamities which almost, if they
have not. completely, obliterated »
virtuous life.” “Did you have a
scriinuiHge with the- reds coming

“What whs it all i^ont ?” he asked
again. “You’ll git it all in,the lec
ture,” said I, “admission $1.60 in

he asked mo if I di(ftp ’t want au agent. ,
