THY EVELYN RAYMOND, TRAIN which had been fcreeping cau¬ EoaB tiously across the great bridge came to a dead bait, For a few seconds the weary passengers in the “Pullman” con¬ tinued to read,yawn, or gaze from the windows with the same apathy winch had characterized their interest since they had reached the monotony of Arizona. But when the halt was protracted and the train em ployes began to rush through the car with excitement expressed on their usually stolid faces, one after another the four travelers grew curious to discover through the steam covered panes the cause of this fresh detention. The old gentleman in the end section muttered a mild oath and bruised his fingers in a vain attempt to raise the double sashes, then settled back with a sigh and touched the button for Joe. That long-suffering creature failing to respond, the ringing was prolonged till the jingling of the bell roused the oceu pant of the state room from her nap, and she appeared at its door with surprised inquiry on her countenance. One glance showed her that it was Number Eleven who was manifesting so much Im¬ patience; a second, that the train K M standing still above a wonderful gorge. “Oh, sir! has anything happened?” demanded Miss Densiow, strangely ready to take alarm on that lonely home¬ ward journey in midwinter. “That’s what I am trying to find out I Where the—Don’t allow yourself to be disturbed, miss. I will—Joel Joe! por terl" Voice was added to ring in the summons for the attendant. The audacious, aggressive commer¬ cial traveler, in section four, rose and earne down the aisle. “I’ll find that porter, and I'll find out what’s up ” he remarked to Helen in passing. She ignored him, but after he had disappeared walked through the ear and seated herself before a window. “Why, this is Canon Diablo! Strang c I did not recognize it.” “Rightly named, too," retorted Num¬ ber Eleven. “Seems as if all the imps in creation had been hired to pile those rocks there I Wonder if that porter isn’t one of them, aud gone to join his fel¬ low*.

Indians mav- “I will go down a little way. We must stay here for hours—I shall have no other such a chance in all my life I” The girl’s nostrils dilated. Her heart beat eagerly. Here was a new experi¬ ence, indeed. It promised to be a satis¬ fying one; and she had fed her hungry heart with such husks siuce that day, a year before, when she had parted from her lover in a quarrel. Moonlight always brought his memory back to her with cruel distinctness. He seemed very near to her at that moment. “I wonder if he did really go to the Pacific coast. They said so—and—it seems as if I must have heard of him there; and yet—is that why I hate going home? What a dunce I ami Expecting to hear of anybody in such a great country as California. Ah, this is —marvelous! It is a desecration for mortal to trespass here.” Nevertheless, the desecration was ruth¬ lessly continued. The train and its mis¬ haps were forgotten, while petty personal interests dwarfed and faded out of sight before the majesty of that moment in that awful solitude. “I wonder if ever before a woman’s foot passed over these stones. How excited I ami All aloue with desolation and—God.” By daylight, with less exaltation of spirit, she could not have accomplished the descent; but at that weird hour she reached the bottom of the chasm safe if trembling. Then sho looked upward across the canon, and shuddered. Its further brink seemed to rest against the sky. Backward and upward the height appeared interminable. She sat down in the shadow of a bowlder, and a delight¬ ful, unmeasured season of repose suc¬ ceeded the excitement of endeavor. A penetrating chill aroused her, aud she looked upward again. “How can I get back? How did I ever do it? She stilled the returning dread of her soul and began the ascent, over the rocks which rolled and slipped and threatened her destruction. Suddenly she stopped. That echo of falling bowlders was not caused by those whish her own feet had dislodged. Then site saw the figures of four men silhouetted against the sky, and, frozen with terror, watched them descending toward her. They were the train wreckers, she thought. She was doomed-. She under stood it clearly. She had put herself out of the reach of aid. Impulse had cost her her life, as it had once cost her its happiness. Well, life without hap piness-that is, without William Glen ney-wasn’t of great value. Death ia Canon Diablo—how strauge! > Ii8J Denslow’s terror ended in an in difference which was half unconscious neSS ' But she was not of the sort which fatuts. She listened dreamily to the increasing sounds, and began to count; curiously wondering how high her num bers would reach before her destruction came. “Up in the first thousand! But that stone rolled very near. One thousand and twenty-one—Ohl” “Great heaveusl Helen! You—here!” For an instant she thought that she had “crossed the border” and had found him on the other side, a hypothesis quite remote from the fact that he had been that one solitary J passenger ^ in the ^er , T Pullman, > ,, „ to wnom the , loqua C1,,U9 drummer” had so contemptuous ! her y reterr confused « d - j she passed then her hand William across eyes; saw Gleuuey distinctly in the flesh and peri lousty balanced upon a tottering ledge with hands outstretched towards her. “I’m sorry, Will. I—” “Sorry for what. That I’ve come in time to help you out of this canon? You can never get up alone and alive. Or sorry for—the other?" “I—I'm not afraid. I was in came—i the car. I couldn’t stay there, and I came—” ____ He fancied that he heard between the broken words —_______ • ■■ . i l.I-S- i > r.:. craved, “Helen—this u a temple in He called the presiding elder and ex This touched him aa lightly as the reset and he turned readily from the mystery I of the the wonderfbl place he wa* exploring i to subtler mvstery of love; whiled the commercial traveler and the tiaso' ¥ merchant had no choice but n -A witness the simple ceremony wb^ took placo on the pern Canon Diablo.—Frank themselves so much work,” said the man wjth the loud necktie. “Them’* only one solitary passenger in the other Pull¬ man.” Miss Densiow turned siek with fear. The utter desolation of her position ap¬ palled her. Why had she done this fool¬ hardy thing? Yet, why should she have thought of danger; or how foretell that she would be the only woman on board that east-bound train? And the doctor’s letter had been so urgent. Her aunt was dying and needed her. She felt as it suffocating, and hurried toward the door. “I wouldn’t lady! Bettah stay inside. ca’ Yo’ needn’ be sca’ed. We kin taka o’ yo*, lady. Mebbe nuffin' won’t hap¬ pen. Mebbe it’s on’y foolin’,” urged the porter, gently. Helen had been a generous patron and not fault-finding. She had almost compensated to the chi¬ valrous porter for his empty car, and, therefore, almost empty pocket. “Open the door, quick 1 I must get out of this prison 1” In an instant she had sprung to the frozen ground and was running blindly, wildly forward. She passed the train’* length and came to the canon’s brink. As she flew by them her pale face was illumined by the flare of the trainmen’s torches, searching the disaster’s extent. “Oh, lady! Don’t go dowa there 1 Take care! It’s a tough placel” At the touch of the brakeman’s hand on her arm the girl stopped. Her un¬ reasoning fear left her as suddenly as it had come, and she was her cool, alert self again. “Have you telegraphed for help?” “That’s the worst—the wire are cut.” “Sent some one, then?” “Yes—if the messenger ain’t stopped.” “Did such a thing ever happen be¬ fore?” The man answered evasively. “It’s a wild country, lady. Consider¬ able money goes east now and again, and there’s a diamond merchant travels the road sometimes.” ‘'Jerry 1 Bring that light this way.” As the glare of the torch faded the moonlight filled its place. Miss Den slow’s fear gone, her curiosity remained. Canon Diablo is a world’s wonder. Its sides are covered with loose stones and bowlders which look as if they had been brought one by one and tossed into place.

Our Lawmakers Busily Engaged ill Framing State Stales, Proceedings of the Body from Day to Day Briefly Told. THE SENATE. 33rd Dav. —The senate consumed Thur day morning’s session in debating the bill to pension the widows of con¬ federate soldiers and finally decided to let the figures remain us fixed by the house—$60 per annum. 34tii Day. —After the warm discussion Thursday over the widows’ pension, the senators showed up Friday fresh as a May morning, and immediately jumped Hill, into of a discussion of the bill of Mr. Meriwether, changing the jury law. The bill provides that the grand jury sha 1 constitute a special jury, and that their names shall be drawn from a separate placed box, after being selected and there by the jury commissioners. The bill was passed. The bill to determine the venue in damage suits against railroads, that is, requiring that they shall he brought in the county where the damage occurs, came up and was passed by a vote of 21 yeas to 11 nays. Other hills pass¬ ed were as follows: To abolish the office of solicitor of Macon county court; to authorize the county commissioners of Stewart to issue bonds to the amount of $25,000; to create the office of assistant quartermaster; to amend the charter of Omaha, in Stewart county. A bill was presented that all legal adver¬ tising be published in the paper, published where there are two or more papers in the county] that has enjoyed preced¬ the largest circulation for the three ing years. appointing Mr. Corput committee introduced of a res¬ olution a two from the senate and three from the house to investigate the books in the treasury department. Mr. Corput and Mr. Per¬ sons are the committee on the part of the senate. The bill to determine the amount of damages to be reserved on forthcoming bonds, went through, as also did the measure to authorize the town of Toccoa to issue bonds for build¬ ing school houses. The bill of Mr. Fleming, amending reconsidorcd the fence law its was passed. The senate ac¬ tion on the bill to protect the capitol building. The senate then passed the bill to give nine feet on Bull street to the Savannah theater company, after which it adjourned until ten o’clock Saturday. 35th Day —In the senate, Saturday morniug, Mr. McAfee’s bill to mend a section, of the common school laws was reconsidered. The committee on new judicial circuits was announced. The finance committee reported favorably following on the Soldiers’ borne bill. The hills were passed: To amend the act establishing the criminal court for At¬ lanta, by providing judge that the governor shall appoint a when a vacancy oc¬ curs and the legislature is not in session ; to amend an act to prescribe the the manner of takiDg cases confine to supreme court and to the de¬ cisions of the supreme court to the specifically alleged errors; to provide when a husband shall be agent of his wife in the management of her separate estate or in the use of the wife’s money or property in ai y business carried on by the husband and to prescribe when the wife’s estate shall be liable for the pay¬ ment of debts; to authorize all incorpor¬ ated towns and cities in the state to re¬ ceive donations of any property real or personal; to authorize bond the state treasurer to pay 198 for $1,000, owned by Dr. A. W. Calhoun; to amend section 178 of the code so as to change the time for the meeting of the general assembly at its second annual session; to amend section 3766 of the code, prescribing the mode of giving at¬ tachment bonds, and section 3271, pre¬ scribing the mode of requiring additional security on such bonds;to amend section 3514 of the code; to amend section 943 (a) of the code, providing for the selection by the governor of banks in certain cities; to authorize the forma¬ tion of t^e Fourth Infantry Battalion into the Fourth Infantry Regiment; to provide that all bills undisposed of at the close of the first session of the gen¬ eral assembly shall go over to the second session as unfinished business; the senate then adjourned until Monday morning at 10 o’clock. 36th day —The first thing done in ths senate Monday morning was to recommit the soldiers’ home bill to the finance com¬ mittee. Several bills were read the first time, among them the tax act. After a short session, the senate adjourned until 9 a. m. Tuesday. At the night 9i srion of the house the tax bill was passed and at once sent to the senate. Pew charges—none of great importance—were made in its provisions. 35t11 da*— The house was treated to a great surprise Saturday morning in the form of a notice given by Mr. Fleming, a short time after assembling, that he would move to reconsider the hill to re¬ peal the “board of education” bill, which was passed Friday. He met with very spirited opposition. The bill was recon¬ sider, d, however, by a good vote repealing on a technicality, and after the clause had been set right by an amend¬ ment from Mr. McBride, Mr. Fleming took occasion to make a defense of the board of equalization law, concluding by moving that the reconsid¬ ered bill to repeal it lie on the table,- in order that the people of Georgia might give the boards of equalization at least another year’s trial. But the house took different view and overwhelmingly voted down the motion to table the bill. The previous question was called iu a jiffy and promptly sustained and the bill was at once passed again by the emphatic The majority of yeas 99, nays only 19. strongest reason given by Mr. Fleming for revivifying the defunct “board of aquali zation” was that it had the power to sub¬ ject dead loads of personal property to taxation, such as money, stocks, notes, etc., which could not be gotten at for taxing purposes. Mr. Calvin’s bill to re¬ peal the ten per cent tax on state banks came up, several speeches were made op¬ posing its passage, but the hour having arrived for the reading of bills the second time, it went over as unfinished business to Monday 36th Day. —The house, Monday morn ing,considered the appropriation of $20, 000 asked for by the trustees of the “ Tech” to restore the machinery and equipments destroyed by fire, in commit¬ tee of the whole, and after a spirited dis¬ cussion the bill to appropriate $20,000 to restore the machinery and equipments burned The house, was passed in committee by a vote of of the 103 whole, to 28. also decided to give to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum $5,600 for material im¬ provements. It was shown that $14,700 was needed to put the lunatic asylum in better shape and that sum was voted. An appropriation of $4,000 for repairs to ;the Academy of the Blind was also put through. By unanimous consent a nut:i - her of new bills were read and referred. A resolution by Mr. Boifeuillet calling on the resolutions public printer this to print the acts and of session of the gen¬ eral assembly at the earliest possible date, was carried, aud then the house ad¬ journed to meet at 7:30 o’clock p. m. CITY OF MEXICO. l T iii<|iie Street Scenes in the Mexican Metropolis. By day the tow n of Mexico presents a very unique appear ance, for, from what¬ ever point of view chosen, the avenues are shut in by the serrated mountains surrounding the whole valley. in The straight lines wide streets, running and parallel from north to south from east to west, make it look modern enough, but, for all that, the old white¬ washed houses, the only architectural beauties of which are the numerous win¬ dows with projecting balconies, give the whole place a superannuated appearance. These houses are always built in four blocks, with one or two patios, or spa¬ cious court-yards. On two sides of this patio there is generally a narrow veranda or some projecting protection masonary, rain, which aud serves as a from the enables the occupant to reach dry-shod the wide staircase with high stone steps leading which to the upper rooms. These rooms, are mostly paved with tiles instead of planks, open on to a gallery running around the court, with a balus¬ trade at a convenient height for leaning against, which balustrade is decked with numerous pots of flowers and shrubs. The first story alone is used to live in, the ground-floor being occupied by shops, magazines, or stables. The better houses are built of freestone, whilst the poor tenements consist of a material known as amygdaloid, which i* a variety of porous trap or basaltic rock of a reddish color, the blocks being bound together with cement or sand. Some buildings have walls of great thickness, three feet or more. The foundations of most of the houses being laid in water or in marshy flats, tney have no cellars, aud are really great cubes of masonry kept in place by their own weight. From the first tiling in the morning the streets are full of traffic; richly dressed horsemen, hired carriages, noisy carts with unoiled wheels, drawn by four, aud six, or eight mules, troops of donkeys mules loaded with all manner of packages, jostle each other in the road¬ way. Water-carriers, or aguadors, com¬ pletely clad in leather, and wearing a kind of jockey cap also of leather, be¬ huge siege the public fountains, carrying two amphora, kept in place by straps, which cross on the head over a palm-leaf cap with leather visor. Indian men and women pass to and fro screaming out in ear-splitting tones the names of what they have to sell, fruits, vegetables, chickens, etc., carry¬ ing everything on their backs in wicker¬ work baskets, fastened on to their shoul¬ ders like soldiers’ knapsacks, but sup¬ ported by a leather thong passed across the forehead beneath the broad-briinmed straw sombreros, or worn just under the arms across the chest. Street boys follow the passers-by, breathlessly shouting out the names of the daily papers and the numbers of the last tickets of the Loteria Nacional, or National Lottery. You pause an instant,' you give a silver coin—horror of horrors, you have been noticed, and you are im¬ mediately surrounded by twenty beggars of all ages, followed by dozens of mangy yellow dogs, which appear from eveiy side, and in piteous tones you are im¬ plored, “For the sake of Jesus.

FARM NOTES. You can never grade up the cattle un¬ less you use better animals for breeding. The time has gone for keeping a steer until he is four years old before sending to market. Stock that is continually tempted by weak fences should not be blamed for becoming “breachy.” A box six inches high and two feet square kept filled with clean, dry dirt makes a good dust bath. Don’t buy a cow with high head and eyes starling from sockets. She is off in disposition, and you will be a loser. If ducks can have a free range dur lugvthe day and comfortable quarters at healthy. night they can readily he kept Milking should be done hour’s with the greatest the regularity. harmful An the time out of way is to cow every time. Next to the Jersey Red, the Poland China breed is considered to rank highest in regard to hardiness and ability to re¬ sist disease. The calf is not so stupid as he looks. When his mother fails to answer his de¬ mands he gives her a “milk punch,” and the old lady comes down. Light hogs prepared for early market are often far more profit than if kept until later when prices are low because of the rush of fresh pork. The wheels of the mowing machines are made use of for constructing low- 6own wagons with wide rimmed wheels, that prove to be just the thing. Provide plenty of bedding for the sheep during the winter so as to keep the wool out of the dirt, and at the same time it will aid, to keep the sheep dry. A well known Australian wool grower raises 200 acre* of rape for his sheep, and he speaks in the highest terms of its value. He has fattened twenty sheep per acre on his rape field. If you have barb wire fence around your pasture it may pay to tie scraps of tin or some other substance to the wires to prevent the animals from running against it without seeing it. Scaly legs are eyesores. With such simple remedies as applying vaseline or lard, to which a few drops of carbolic adki has been added, there is no excuse for their presence in a well kept flock of poultry. The chaff from wheat is one of the best materials for use on the floor of the. poultry under house. Keep the chaff dry and cover.
