X UP Jff:*JNT ASSINIECINE. Successlul Trip of Explorers in the Canad? ian Rockies. Henry C. Bryant, president of the ideographical 8ociety of Philadal phia, bai just returned from an rx* p] ?ririfr trip of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, made in company with Loins .1. Sloe le, and sailed for Bet lin where- be represe nts the local society at tho International ('jngress ot (??^ograpliers. Speaking about the? trip, Mr. I'.ryant said : "The party left lUiff Springs, Alberta, Northwest Territory, on July '1\ 'Mir liest achievement was the di.-' ove-rv of a now pass over the Central Divide, which is just ?outh of the Canadian Pacifie K-ulroaei, by way of dually ('reek ?nd Simpson pass. We reached our objective point, Mount A^siniboine, in three lays and a half. 1 he only travelers who ever entered this region before us took r.even days in makine tho journey. They were six white men Wo. therefore, tilt that we had ae corapli -hod something in finding a much shorter route to this famous m Hintatn, the height of which is 11.876 feet." The intention of the explorers was to asconel Mount Assimboine trom the west side, but after climbing up 10,000 fMl anel reaching territory that human being had never ?et foot on before, they were forced to de sceod. The descent was perilous and an approaching storm caused the men to hurry. " Wmle on the snow elope, cutting stops for our safedy in tho hard snow and ice," said Mr. Bryant, " we sud denly came upon a projecting rock. At the moment my companion, Mr. Steele, slipped. It was a moment of life or death. If wehad been dashed down on the rocks below we would hnve been killed. " I just had time to strike my ax helve into the snow and thus secured a better hold, but the forco of the tug on the rope when Mr. Steole foil was so great that I was hurled down the slope. By a quick movemont my companion reached an opening where the snowmeltid owing to the heat radi? ated from a rock. The sUbla footing which we here secured arrested our descent. We were after that enabled to continue our jiumey at leisure. The list stage of the descent, about 250 feet, was made by sliding down the tace of the mountain. Not as boys slide on the level, of course. The mountain sliding is called glis? sading. We lay down on our bucks and put our feet close to the ground. With the ax helve tightly under the tight arm, its blade catting deeply into the ice, we ?lid swiftly down the steep slope. The hx acted as a helm, and by a little shifting we could pilot ourielvesout of the way of things apparently not smooth enough for our comfort."

"Tbackeiay bad resehed middle age before " Vanity Fair" establish? ed his reputation as the li'st noy? ! st of his day. His matchless Style wa not a gift costing nothing to its ore ator, but it was the culmination and crown of long years ot labor. Charlotte Bronte was thirty.on? whe-n .?he wrote " Jane Kyro," tin booh that made her name famous. She had passe d through raried anel iiitteT experiences, sacd all through the piges of that wonderful book we san t??? 1 the' heart throbs of bel -iront,' personalty, stirred and ? I lo-koned bv her profound knowl o| 1 fe and its sorrows. Qeorge Eliot had been known in therealmof letters for more than twelve years as editor, essayist, and translator, when,at the ago of thirty mue, by the publication of " B fiom Clerical I.f?" and "Adam ? bei .01" the I 'l-.ller I t' a new school lu dation, for sin.- as truly create?! the psjcholcgical novel as Scott did the historical.

Mrs. Oliphant turued to literature as a means of support for an invalid hu bind, and later for her fatln children, ?She has lift the world as an added l-gacy to her many charm mir stories the history of one of the bravest and most unselfish struegles that was ever fought by a woman iMglchanded. When we tura to our American writers of .fiction wo find the same story repeated. Hawthorne had played at communism at lir o't Farm, drudged in the Boston Custom House and as Surveyor of the Port of Salem, and edited The American Migazine for some year?, bjfore, on the sunset side of forty, be gave to the world tho " Scarlet Letter,*' probably the greatest of American novel*. Mrs. Stowe, like Charlotte Bronte, entereel the literary arena at thirty one, when, by the publication of " Undo Tom's Cabin," she revolu? tionized a great Nation an?' loosened the shackles of America's aves. Holmes, the genial Autirtrat, was a leader in his profession and bad won a widespread fam.t as a poet and essayist before he wrote " Elsie Ven ner,'' at fifty-two. In connection with Helmes,we would mention Weil Mitchell, because there is a striking similarity in their histories. Mitchell, like Holmes,had won high distinction in the medical profession before turn? ing to literature ; be is, like Holmes, a poet ; in his " Characteri8tics,"one of his earlier prose efforts, he has followed very closely the sty 1? of th " Autocrat." and he, too, bad reach? ed middle life before "Hugh Wynue" gave him an assured place among the first novelists of bis day. Cd. Lew Wallace had spent near? ly half a century in active military auel diplomatic service before he took up his pen and gained a world wide reputation by the production of "Ben Hur," proving certainly in his case that "the pen is mightier than the sword." I could cite numberless instances along this line, but I think enough have been given to prove that the highest laurels in the realm of nove writing have not been lightly won but that the great creators in Action like the great poets, "learned in snf fering what they taught in song,' and that "The height? by great men reached an kept Were not attained by sudden flight, Bot they, while their companion? slept, Were toiling upward in the night."

A con tive estimate places the loss of life on tho island at ~> 000 Tuo win?! played baron with v?-ge tion. Ic broke down and uprooted large trees, it destroyed the d fTet trees, that were loaded witb ripening berries, it blew oranges, limes, lemons ;uid all kiuds of fruits from the trees or else swept away the trees entirely, and worst of all, It ten led to the ground practically all the banana palms of the island, thus destroying the fruit that served as bread to the poor. Sugar houses and mae-binery suf fered greatly, while the sugar cane itself was little injured except from the floods. The young cat-e that was fl ?oded was greatly improved by the alluvial deposit brought down from the mountains, while cane hit was ol 1er was broken down and ruined, Although the land itself wa? iu many cuses improved. <)j tho other hand,the tobtco nnd eoff-'o la? <1? on the mountain Bides were greatly injured by tiji) wnshinc away of the ricnest part of the top soil. Coffee planters are perhaps the m i-t to be pitied, because it takes Civ?- or sis years to produce a tree that will yield a crop. Almost the entire loss of life was among the peons, or laborers. The great question now is the dis? tribution of supplies and the use of the moaey seut there by the of people of the United States. There are. roughly speaking, only two classe? of people there?the comparativedy wealthy landowner, or merchant, and tha peons The tl-st are industrious and hardwork? ing: the la;t work only when com? pelled by necessity to ?o ?o. The first are de| eadont on the see jnd for labor. If the peons a-o fed by charity, they are converted into beggars and tho industrious classes are deprived of the benefits of their labor. It is tru ) tbat cuatity isnecessary in many cases, but it should be given judici* ou-ly. From every place where soldiers were stationed come glowing ac? counts, through native channels, of thoir heroism in saving lives and propetty. In a number of cases the soldiers gave up their own quarters to the sick and wounded. No ?oldieis werokillol, but at least fifiy were wounded while engaged in the work of rescue. With the exception of two in Ponce, no American lives were lost. Many persons have their good day ?nd their bad day. Others are about half sick sll the time. They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does not taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin Is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work is a burden. What Is the cause of all thia? Impure blood. And the remedy? ?fr '? #> S ^ ^ It clears out the channels through which poisons sre carried from the body. When sll impurities are removed from the blood nature takes right hold snd completes the cure. If there is constipation, take Ayer's Pills.

The Orange Primary, '?range, Va, Aug. 29tb, 1SW. To The Free Lanoe : I desire to ?ay a word or two In re? gard to the primary in Orange county, in reply to a statement made by Mr. William?. I am the gentleman who ran against Mr. William? in that pri? mary, arm who advocated Uovernor Tyler'? election. I was a ?p?e-tator at the meeting of the county committee, held a few day? before the election. I -<aw then that this committee was In a fererish haste to have the primary over with before uovernor Tyler'a friends eould get together. They ju?t ordered it on a five day? notice, bat as one gentle? man thought that this was too muoh of a ?nap judgment, it waa fixed at ten day?. I ?aw that it was all being fixed against the possibility of (Jorernor Tyler'? case getting well before the peeipi9. and I concluded right then and there that I would give them some trouble by announcing myself a candi? date, and in a few day? thereafter, I did announce myself, which only gave me five day? in which to arrange fortbe primary. I could not canvass well one precinct of the county in thla time. They claimed to bave beaten me by 101 vote? in the election. At one preclnat the polls were olosed at 5 o'clock, the sun being then two and a half hours high. They claimed to have beaten me there three votes. Six men came up after the polls were cl ?ed to vote for me, and were not al? lowed to vote. Had they voted I world have carried this preolnct. I believe that three-fourth? of the people of this connty are for Tyler ; and if once tbey understand thoroughly the ?harp turn1 that are being taken upon the Oorer' nor, tbey will demand new democratic otlii i ?Is a id beat the present candidats by an overwhelming majority. The ballot? of that primary have never been officallv counted. Of conrse, this may all be done in a regular way; bot any man that love? fair play cannot help but feel that that people of Orange were not wanted in the naming of a oaudt date, although they may want them pretty badly to elect him in November. I am not writing this as complaining, or as a sore bead, bat limply to ?t?te fact?. I decided to run merely to disturb their pretty little scheme ail ?aw it; and I think I succeeded in at least giving them a pretty good ?care. T. W. Bond.
