Diphtheria HIT OF LOCAL COLONIAL 1118-TOUT. sx t. i. oheeh or kewfane. Two of tbe most noted characters in tho early colonial straggles, who figured in our local history, vers Oreau llrusli and Ethan Allen, royalist and rebel. Tbe story wo pro pose to tell illustrates the fact tbat truth Is of t times stranger than fiction. Brush was born in Dublin, Ireland, about 1725, and was edu cated for the law. About 17C1 ho emigrated to this country, landing In" New York, where he began tbe practice of his profession, and Boon married a young widow Montuzan, who had a daughter Francos. In 1771, Brush re moved to Westminster, Cumberland county now Westminster, Vt.), and Feb. 2fl, 1772, was appointed county clerk. Tbe following year he and Samuel Wells of Brattleboro were elected to represent the county In the general assembly of New York. Brush was a fluent peaker and able writer, and immediately took leading and Influential position on all ques tions agitating the public mind, always using his great powers of oratory and sarcasm in favor of the king, and bitterly scourging tho settlers upon the New Hampshire grants, who were opposing tho authority of New York. He introduced and carried through the legis lature in February and March, 1774, a bill of fering a reward of 100 each for the heads of Ethan Allen and Itemember Baker, and X.0 each for several lesser lights. During bis res idence in Westminster, Brush was not only a politician but a land speculator, and at one time is said to have owned 2.i,000 acres in the Connecticut valley, and as much mofo in New York. He seems to have been like leading politicians of the present day a boss and represented our people, whether they would or no, in the New York assembly, until open war commenced. When tbe news of the court house fight at Westminster reached Albany, he immediately introduced a bill appropriating 1000 to sustain the authority of Now York in Cumberland county. This was his last of ficial act for tbe county. Whether bo ever re turned to Westminster does not appear, but certain it is that be spent most of the follow- ug summer in New York. In tbe fall bo re paired to Boston and offered bis services to Oen. Oage, who gave bitu charge, of the prop, erty taken from tbe Boston "rebels;" and when it became necessary for the British to evacuate the city, he immediately began an almost indiscriminate raid upon its merchants, loading vessels with their goods. His private orders being to seize anything that would help the "rebels" carry on the war. he loaded several vessels, and on Friday, March 2'Jtb, weighed anchor and set sail in tbo baniue ElizaMh, bound for Halifax, N. 8. April 2d they wcro overhauled and captured by tbreo American privaUcrsmcn, and in a few short weeks Mr. Brush returned as a prisoner to Hoi- ton where ho bad been a commander! He was confined in tbe common jail, where at first the discipline was very severe, lights, pen, ink aud paper ail being forbidden articles, and no conversation being allowed except in the presence of the jailer. Gradually, however, this severity relaxed, and frleods were allowed to visit him ; his wife arrived in January, 777, and remained through the year. On the evening of November Mb she visited him as usual, ami, tbe time for leaving having ar rived, tbe turnkey ordered her out, and the tall, stately madam passed out tbo iron door, through tbe dark corridor, into the street, Morning came, and the jailer appeared at the cell door with breakfast, when Mrs. Brush quietly answered his call by saying, "I am not my husband's keeper." He had passed out in her dress, mounted a swift-footed charger that she had hitched in a tecluded nook just out side the town, and was then well ou his way to New York, where he arrived on the ICth He immediately set to work to recover com' pensation for bis property, which the rebels bad confiscated ; but, meeting with nothing but rebukes and rebuffs from tbe British off! cers whom be had served so well, be went to his room, and in sheer despair placed a pistol against his temple and fired a fatal shot. Thus ended tbe life of a man who was once a great power in this county, and whose round, beau tlful handwriting can be seen to-day by any one who will examine the books of record in tho vault of our court-house. But this seem ing retribution does not end with bis life, but is followed by an almost romantic justice in the marriage of his daughter to bis most im placable foe. After bis death bis wife and her daughter Frances, now a dashing young widow by the name of Buchanan, returned to Westminster, where they were often thrown into tbe society of Col. Ethan Allen during his visits here to put down the "Yorkers and establish the an thority of the infant state of Vermont. Tbe bold, determined spirit of Frances, who was a highly-educated and cultured lady of her day, attracted Allen s attention, and he seems to have determined to win the daughter of his departed foe. With what favor his first ad vances were met history doth not tell, further than tbat a friend, in bantering her one day. said, "Frances, marry Col. Allen and you will be Queen of Vermont." Like lightning tbe flashing reply came : "It I should marry the Devil, I should be Queen of Hell !" But Al len seems to have been as determined in love as in war, and yielded not until bis suit was accepted. He appeared one morning at tho house of Stephen It. Bradley, where Frances aud her mother lived, and asked to be shown to their room. Mr. Bradley and tbe members of tbe court, which was in session, wero at breakfast. He found his lady love in her morning-gown up in a chair, putting away some china in tbe cupboard. She raised cracked decanter and shook it at him with some gay remark, to which be as gaily re plied. Then, after a short chat, he abruptly said: "If we are to be married, now is tho time." "Very well," she replied, "but give me tiino to putoumy Joseph." Ina trice she had donned here Joseph, and they walked in to tbe other room, where Allen addressed his old friend, Judge Robinson, as follows; "This young woman und myself havo concluded to marry each other and have you perform the ceremony," "When ?" said tbe judge in Bur- pre. "Now," replied Allen. "For myself, he continued, "I have no great opinion of such formality, and from what I can discover she thinks as little of It as I do : hut as a do .cent respect for the opinions of mankind seems to require it, you will proceed." "Gen' eral," said the judge, "this is an important matter. Have you given it serious considers tionf" "Certainly," replied Allen. Tbecer. emony then proceeded until the judge inquir ed of Ethan whether he promised to live with Frances "agreeable to the laws of Qod. "Stop I stop I" cried Allen. Then, pausing and looking out of tbe window, he exolalmed, "The law of God as written In the great book of Nature yes. Go on." Tbe ceremony ,was finished, Mrs. Allen's trunks were packed and deposited in the great sleigh, the hearty good-by and Ood speed were bidden, and oil dashed the couple to the general's home. The children of this marriage were Frances, Ilannl bal and Ethan. General Allen died Feb. 12, 1787, and his widow afterwards married Dr, Jabe Fenniman of Burlington. When a couple make up their minds to get married, it may be called a tie vote. Miscellany. Tlin Chtirg-e f tbe llriaty llrlg-uilr. B1LAKLAVA, OCTOSIn 21, 16.11.

Nancy eft her lore and a cood piece of roast beef ready for ner brother, together with a mes sage to the effect that "she hoped he would think better of it, and come and toe her and Joseph, which nothing would please tbem more." "Never!" aald Captain Both Tiller, wrath- fully. "Let her be satisfied with her Joseph, since she was foolish enoucn to leave a com fortable home for the sake of getting married. Just like women tbe whole world over! Well, let ber go. I don't keer. A woman aint worth much anyhow, and I guess I can get along without 'em." This was said aloud, partly as a relief to his feelings and partly for tbe benefit of bis next door neighbor, Miss Hesper Hidings, who sat at ber window in visible enjoyment of his cbagrin. And then, to show bis lndepen dence of women, Captain Setb straightway set about preparing bis evening meal. "Any fool can make bread, be said to blm self. And putting a quantity of flour in a pail be went to the hydrant iu tbe back yard and let on ita stream of water working the whole into a soft, sticky paste, which with great difficulty be finally got from his hands into a cold bake pan, which ho then put into the stove. Sucb trifles as yeast and shortening never occurred to him. Tben be put about a cupful of ground cof fee to two cups of cold water, and set it on the stove to boil, after which he looked after the cold beef. But tbe rats had been there before him ; and Captain Seth, with a few ex pressive adjectives, llung tbe meat out oi the kitchen window to bis dog Tickle. "1 11 have a boiled fowl, 1 guess." said bo as his eye fell upon Nancy's couple of rather ancient pullets, stalking forlornly about, tne premises. And after a prolonged and excit ing chase, in which Fickle rendered effective service, one of the unfortunato fowls was run down, decapitated, plucked on tne spot, and summarily plunged into a pot for boil ins. It Is due to the uaptaln to say tnat tne idea of 'cleaning the fowl had never occurred. to him, else, doubtless, tbat important matter would nave been attended to. Foor Captain Tiller ! He never suspected anything wrong until be attempted to take tbe putty. like mai.s of dough from tbe oven, and to cut into tbe boiled fowl. And then bread and fowl followed the beef. And if any, thine could have added to Captain Seth's bit terness of feeling, it was hearing the derisive lauoh of Miss Hesper Uittlncs. who bad wit nessed tbe whole of his proceedings In the back yard, and also bebeld tbo exit or tne savory viands tbrougn tbe kitchen winnow. Not tbat Miss Uittlncs or Captain Tiller were maliciously inclined by nature. Their natural enmity bad originated in a feud be. tween Captain Seth's terrier, the afore-men tioned Fickle, aud Miss Hesper's tortoise-Bhell cat, Fink. Fink was partial to taking her noon-day siesta on the top of palings separat ine the two lots, which proceeding Fickle re garded as an intrusion upon his personal rights, and resented accordingly. J. be lady took part with ber cat, and tbo Uaptatn es poused the cause of bis dog. Captain Beth called Miss llesper a spiteful cat, and sue re. torted by informing him that "bo and tbat other dog" were the pests of the neighbor hood, uence the bitterness oi feeling ue. tween tbe two. Tbe Captain went out and got anexpensivo and unsatisfactory and badly cooked supper. at the only publlo bouse in the little seafaring town where he resided. He came borne cold and miserable, and, unable to find tbe match es. croped bis way to bed iu the darkness, The morning brought no comfort. There were things to be Bet to rights, chores to do, pots and pans to be scoured, his clothes to be mended and washed : and Uaptaln Beth look' ed around with a sort of despair. For the first time iu life there dawned upon his mind a perception of tbe usefulness of women. For a day or two tbe Captain led this mis erable kind of existence and as Ibe time an proached for embarking on his next voyage, he looked upon tbat and bla prospective re turn with a species of forlorn horror. "Somebody'll break iuto the house and rob It," thought be. "Or the things'!! get nasty and mouldy without any and look at tbem duds of miner He frowned wiath fully at a heap of sailor'i olothes lying in a corner of tbe room, all of which wanted washing, and some of which stood in great need of repairing.

Captain Tiller was A man of bis word, and who Laving niado up his mind to a thing, was sure to act promptly upon it. He sat down now on n twce-lcRgtu stool ueioro tne nre, aud leaning his elbows upon his knees, medi tated. In tbrco days be would sail, therefore there was a necessity for prompt action. "Let's see," said Captain Tiller, thoughtful, ly. "It'll bo better to tako a widder, I guess. Widders aro more steady than t'others, and moro used to things, and wont expect any courting aud that sort of nonsense Not a young widder, though. They are apt to be flighty." Then he mused again, nnd decided the on ly one he knew answering his requisitions was tbo widow Tyron.

'Good tnornin. widder!" said Captain Setb, an, in answer to his knock at tbe door, Mrs. Tyron appeared, in a tidy cap and apron, with btr bare arms dusted with flour, while an appetizing odor of cookies Issued from tbe comfortable kitchen. At that smell tbe visitor s- heart enlarged and his nostrils expanded as those of a war horse who hears from afar tbe din of tbe bat tle. "Why. laws a-mercy I is it you. Captain Tiller ? Hope nothin's happened leastwise sense Naucy s run away and got married i" "That's just it, widder 1" responded the captain, gloomily shaking bis head, "that's jeet w bat is the matter.

The result of bis wooing had been to him ailogetner unexpected, nere was a woman who bad actually received aud rejected a pro posal, without giving it more than a moment's thougbt. "I mess she's too old and worn out, as she says." he cocitated : "and I must look out for a younger widow, wno a nieiy not ue incun ed to tblnk so bard of tbe matter, mere i Mrs. Fuller she as was Melissy Brown, if remember rightly.

She wore a flounced calico dress, and a girlish white apron, elaborately ru filed, and looked, as tbe captain tnougnt, like a taut-riggeu Bcnooner unaer iuu sun, For an instant bis heart misgave him, though he felt reassured by the gracious smile witn which be was received, as tne young wiaow furtively ad lusted ber front hair beneath her sun-bonnet, ana gave tne tatter liseit a co, nuettish tilt on ber bead. "Well, Miss runer, you re preparin lor spring, betimes, I see. Fancy garden truck eh f" "To be sure. Captain I I like flowers and other pretty things.

"A man tbat walks into my garuen, suddenly, in his working clothes, and with out even slttlnc down, or saving a word o courtin' for decency's sake, tells me I'm no chicken, and asks me down-right tn arrange for marrying mm, just as neu asu io uuy green goose or a sucking pig for a Sunday1 dinner!" And without another word, the widow Ful. ler flounced into the house, while the disap. pointed suitor walked ratber manuy out at the crate. "They're a hafd set, them widders," he meditated. "I'll give them up, I guess, and take a single woman. But I won't have n young skittish one to be rampaging about while I'm out o' the way.

So be went borne, put on a gorgeous vest kept for state occasions rubbed a handful of bog's lard on bis hair, annolnted bis boots with the same. and set forth with renewed vigor on bis wifo- bunting expedition. Miss Charity looked up grimly as ho en tered her neat kitchen, and placing a chair for blm, herself took another at tbe opposite side of tbe room.

But cats and dogs am t human critters, Miss Hobson," said Captain Tiller, insinua tingly. I reckon 1 don't need to bo told that, uap- taiu, Tbey aln t human creeters, but some thing better, if anything." Tiot equal to a busbana. may be, Miss Hobson or a baby " "A what! shrieked Miss Charity, fiercely. glancing over her spectacles. "Uh, notbin particular, umy i a tblnk it would bo a melancholy thing for a woman to be all alone with a lot o' cats and dogs, as she's gettin on Into tbe down bill o life, and. he remembered Mrs. iyron s expression 'and tbe valley o tbo sbadder. Uats and dogs can't lick away the wrinkles from her face, ner bring down her grey hairs witb pleasure to tbe grave. 'Cap'n Tiller," said Miss Hobson, laying down on ner lap tbe stockings she was knit ting, and looking at him witb a flush on ber sallow cbeek "fjap n Tiller, i d like to know, once for all, what you mean 1" He saw tbat she was angry. He didn't know wby but felt it incumbent upon him to soothe and pleaso her. Ho be drew his chair across tbe lloor, and sat down close beside ber. "Come, now, let's you and me have a friendly understanding together," said he, leering coaxingly into her face. "I'm sure I'vo got none but the softest kind o' feeling toward you, and I don't see why you should not reciprocate. And, to add point to bi words be put bis left arm across tne uacK oi ber chair, and with bis right forefinger touched her delicately on the ribs. Miss Charity Hobson bounded down from ber chair, as though a bombsneu naa explod ed beneath it. "Git out o' this house!" she shrieked. "I'll let you know bow to come round sassing a lone woman, and in her own bouse, too! Here Blinker, at bim, ketch him I" and with Blinker at his heels, and Miss liobson wrath folly following in his wake, tbe innocent. miuded Captain Tiller made bis exit from tbe house wbicb he had entered with such ami cable intentions. Very deiectedly he walked home. It was n't such a very easy thing, after all, to get a wife ; and be felt for tbe present completely discouraged from any further attempt in that line. Moodily be sat on tbe bottom 01 a tub; he rarely took a chair unless he was com pelledand mused upon his adverse fate. He felt humble and forlorn. 'I'lease. sir. missus have Bent you some supper." whined a very small voice behind him, and the captain, turning, bebeld Miss Hesper Sittings' very snail servant, bearing In ner arms a very large i;a tray laden wun things. There was a pitcher of steaming coffee, a plate of hot buttered cake, a nice steak witb onions, and other good things done to the point of perfection, l'oor (jap tain Tiller's heart warmed at tbe sight, even in the midst of his astonishment. You don't mean to say, be remarked to the very small servant "you don't mean to say tbat she that Miss Hesper Bittlngs sent mo this ere nxin s r "Yes. sir. she did. sir." responded tbe di minutire handmaid eazerly. "She said she couldn't abide to see even a dog livln' in sich a way and eating sucb victuals." The captain wasn t ouendea. ue roil too much subdued for that now; and, besides, tbe sight of that supper-tray would nave over come any feelings of rising wratn in nn bosom. He was even sensible of a glow of cratltude. and. under tbe influence of this emotion he took down from tho mantle-shelf a stuffed green parrot, clued to a sea shell, and thrust it into the bands of tbe small maiden. "There, my little gal," he said, "ther'i something for your trouble, and say to your missus tbat I'm highly obliged lor tne Kind ness." He emptied tbe contents of all tbe plates and dishes into crockery oi nis own, anu, without thinking of washing tbe former. sent them back to their owner, together with a small model of a fishing smack, wrought by himself in hla bours of leisure wnlleon snore. Miss Hesper laughed wben she beheld these things, "Foor man," she said, "he hasn't got a bad heart, after all ; and it would be a pity to let him starve." So next day she Bent him a daintily cooked dinner. "MUs Hesper," said Captain Tiller, that afternoon, ratber shyly, addressing her as she sat at her window eewing, "wouldn't you like to hev your fence palings fixed up a bit I see they're broken through." "Why, it would be a convenience to have them tialincs mended." she admitted. Whereupon Captain Seth set to work, and with hammer and nails manfully repaired the fence. "Jest call on me when vou are in need o' sich jobs," he remarked, amiably, wben it was completed. "And I'll do your cooking for you while you're ashore. Captain," responded the grati fled Miss Ilitlincs. A sudden light flashed upon the mind of Captain Both. Why had he never before thought of this? "Miss Hesper," be said, "you don't mean to say tbat you'll forgive Flckio for worrying your 1'ink " "Wby, he's a worrying dog," the lady re nlloil rlubiouslv. "I'll send him away I" said tbe captain maonnnimouslv. "Lai what an idea. Captain ! Ob, no! lot the critter alone. I dare say they'll yet be friends, after a while. It's all our duty to be friendly to one another, you know." "To be surel" acquiesced the captain, heartily. "Wherefore it follows that you and me ought to be friends as well as Fickle and Fink." "I'm sure I've no wish to be otherwise with anybody," said Miss Hesper, lookin dnwti at her knlttinrr. "Then." said the captain, slowly and somewhat diffidently, "mebbe you wouldu' object to llTA !,., nonfalnV" "To enter'into a kind of partnership, you see you and me together to be a help to nnn another?" . After this, few words were necessary, and an hour later Captain Beth Tiller was seen, with a beaming countenance, entering tbe gate of Parson Dempster's yard; and on tbe following day the twain that is, Captain Beth Tillar and Miss Hesper Bittlngs were made That evening, as be sat at a luxurious sup with hla wife, to the great admiration ol tli a ama.ll handmaiden and tbe evident bewil derment of Fickle and Fink, the following note was left for him i Captain Tiller I've been conslderin' of hat you said, and, as second thought's wis est, have come to the conclusion tbat it would bo a comfort to nave a nana toneip me down tbe valley of tbe sbadder. Yours truly, widow rrnoN. Burn tbe valley of tbe khadder!" exclaim ed Captain Tiller, throwing aside the note aud betaking himself anow to his oysters. The tempting bivalves were hardly dispos ed of wben a hard knock at the door heralded hard voice, which inquired i "Uap n Tiller to bum r "Yen'm," promptly responded the small maiden. "Then give bim this," said tho hard voice, bit of paper, tightly folded, was thrust into the girl's hand, and hasty steps were heard retreating. Tbe paper contained these mysterious words in pencil : If Captain Tiller will step around at Miss C. Hobsou's and hopes be will excuito Blink- -wblcb she knowH and believes his inten tions was not to be rude to her, and a mistake on C. II. 's part, I will be pleated to see him. u. n. "Durned if I go!" muttered Captain Tiller, lighting his pipe. "Why, what's it all about?" inquired his bride, glancing somewhat suspiciously at tho two notes. Bo tbe captain told ber. "Humph I" said Mrs. Seth Tiller, and sat thinking, rathjr moodily. "You see," suggested her spouse deprecat ingiy, "I hadn't an idea you'd hev me." Mrs. Tiller was a sensible woman, and she accepted the explanation without morn ado. "i'lease sir," said tbe small maid, with very big eyes, "here's a boy come and brought an other letter." Let s see it." said Mrs. Beth, exercising ber matrimonial privilege. And she rtad out the following, written on pink-tinted paper na enclosea In an embossea envelope : Vtar Captain Tilltr Been expecting you round to-day. Hope no offence, as you know wben a woman's took by surpriso she's oblig ed to say what she don't always mean. I'm to home this evening from seven to ten. Truly yours, Melissa t ullzr.

"To be making proposals to a married man 1 ' 'Why, you see, they don't know yet that I am marrjea." "Tben best let tbem know it at once, bun pose you accept all their invitations right away, and take me along by way oi expiana tion, you know." Tbe captain cbuckled witb an inward ap preciation of his bride's cleverness and wit lie took ber advice, and tbe pair made a round of bridal calls, much to their own satisfaction if not to that of the recipients thereof. Mrs. Tyron sighed ; Widow Fuller laughed somewhat hysterically, it must be confessed; and Miss Hobson talked of a suit for breach of promise. Not one of the three ever for gave bim. Hon to Ituu. Very few bovs know how to run. "Ho. ho!" say a dozen boys. "Just bring on tho boy tbat can run faster than I can ! But. stop a moment.

I don t believe there is one boy in fifty, of those who may read this, who can run a quarter of a mile at n good smart pace without having to blow like a porpoise by tne time he has made his distance.

I bad been thinking what poor runners we are. and wondering why tbe animals can run so far, and it came to me that perhaps this might account for the difference, that tbey always take air through the nose, while we usually begin to puff tbrougn our mourns be fore we have cone many rods. Some ani mals, sucb as the dog and tbe fox, do open their mouths and pant wnue running, nui they do this to cool themselves and uot be- cause they cannot get air enough through their noses. I found once, through a sad ex perience with a pet dog, that dogs must die if their nostrils become stopped. They will breathe through the mouth only while it is forcibly held open; if left to themselves tney always breathe through tbe nose. So. possi bly, we are intended to take all our breath through the nose, unless necessity drives us to breathe through the mouth. There are many other reasons why we ought to make our noses furnish all the air to our lungs. One is. the nose is filled witb a little forest of hair, which is always kept moist, like all the inner surfaces of tbe nose, and particles of dust that would otberwiso rush into tbe lungs and make trouble, are caught and kept out by this little bairy net- work. Tben tbe passages of the nose are longer, and smaller, and more crooked than that of the mouth, bo that as it passes through them the air becomes warm. But these are only a few reasons why the nose ought not to be switched off and left idle, as so many nos es are, while their owners go puffing through their mouths. All trainers of men for racing and rowing, and all other athletic contests, understand this, and teach their pupils accordingly. the boys will try this plan, they will soon see .. ' - 1.

Walt Whitman has never had a biographer in the real sense of tbe term, although tne story of his life would hardly fall to be an lu tereatinc one. Even the bare facts of bis ca reer are known to few. He wes born on May 31, 1819, in tbe village of West Hills, ou Long Island. His parents lived at that time iu a rude log bouse, and this early home of the poet is still standing. Whitman's father was born of English people, aud his mother was Dutch. Both parents were prosperous and industrious, though poor. They moved to Brooklyn wben the poet was still a mere child, and here tbe latter booama a pupil in tbe publlo schools. At the age of 10 young Whitman was engaged to teach obstreperous youug dunces in a rural scnooi, anu it waa uot until his eighteenth year that he began to try bis hand at authorship. Before, he was 20 he was writing regularly for newspapers lu New kork. ' lie auo ooutriuuieuanioiesio the Democratic Ileview. His noxt step for. wark or backward, as ouo may be pleased to regard it was into politics, and he was soon beard of as a stump orator in tbe ranks of tbe Democratic party and among tho bitter anti-slavery circle. He took an active part In two Presidential campaigns, those of Van Burea and Folk. His career for some time was checkered, and his attention seemed to he about equally divided among many things. Wben ne reached the age of :-', without bay ing accomplished much of real important, he started upon a journey through tbe Unit ed States, lie stopped at New Orleans for one year, and tried to edit a papor there. It is certain that be saw American life and man ners under various aud peculiarly picturesque aspects, and his observances were treasured up for future use. When he returned to Brooklyn he tried bis hand again at a news- fiaper, and then entered bis father's shop to earn the trade of house-building. White . working at his trade, from 18S3 to 18.",", ho wrote and printed bis first book. In tbe spring of IBS." be published his "Leaves of Grass," setting a part of the type himself. During tbe late war Whitman served as a nurse in the hospitals, and after the war he was appointed to a clerkship In tho Interior Department, at Washington. He was dis missed from this position shortly afterward on tho ground tbat bis poems were immoral. ue neid a piaco in the Attorney-General s office later on, and tben removed permanent ly to Camden, N.

The Fueblo or village Indians are scattered over an area in hew Mexico and Arizona stretching from Taos, on the Itio Grande, south to Ysletaof El Fasd, a distance of about ixiu mues, anu in wiutu auout 4uu miles. Within this area thero are now about 31 in habited villages. There are also tho ruins of tbou-tandi of ancient villages and towns situ ated in tbe valleys of the streams, on the sum mits of the mesas, and many high up in tbo sides of the cliffs and the walls of canons, be ing carved out like swallows' nests. Tbe ruInB already known are sufficient in number to fur nish homes for at least half a million persons. and wcr0 probably occupied by twice that number, une noted instance of a carveu-out city is mentioned by Mr. Stevenson, which must have been the abode of at least 100,000 souls. Mr. Sttvrnson first heard of it from an old Indian chief, with whom he eat chat ting in Spanish one evening. The old man was apparently somewhat disinclined to be communicative, but finally, as if to avoid further inquiry, he said ; 'xou wish to find old houses, do your Well, I will show you some. They are about twelve miles from here." Mounted npon mules, tho two started out and made their way toward a range of distant bills, from behind which towered an extinct volcano. As tboy approached the foothills, Mr. Stevenson saw large numbers of black ppots in rows, resembling swallows' nests, up on the face of a cliff. He asked his compan ion wbat tbey were. "Houses," was the reply. "No, not those on the top," said Mr. Ste venson; "I mean the black spots on tb. cliff." "Houses," said the old chief; houses, I tell you very old bousts. The old man told tbe truth, t or uo miles along the face of the winding cliff, except where the elements had cut them away, these ancient cave-dwellings extended two, three, four, and sometimes five rows, one upon an other. Mr. Stevenson examined this deserted city for several days, personally visiting por tions distant IS miles from each other, and discovering with bis glass tbat tbe excavations extended lu or 20 miles further on. By far the greater number are inaccessible, but some of the old paths, worn many inches deep by the feet of the ancients who dwelt there, are intact, and by tbem the explorer mounted to tbe old dwellings.
