. , A STOBY OF THE PLAGUE.
bom time In the first twenty rears of this
century one of the Van Horns of Mew York,
with an Irish gentleman named Daly, made a
tour of the Southern States. The men were
' friends, young, shrewd and energetic; they
bad each a moderate capital to invest in man
ufacturing purposes, and were strongly tempt
ed to try the South aa an unbroken field
lor inetr enterprise, l ney were ao hospitably
., welcomed everywhere as to nuke their Jour-
, nev a kind of triumphal progress, Being
young, they drank, diced, flirted, and went
with aqua; seat alternately to camp-meetings
and to races; but, being shrewd, they brought
their money home again to Invest.
-It will never do, Daly," aaid Van Horn.
It la the wagon for these very plantations
. which we mean to make. Here ta the lumber,
the water-power, cheap fuel, and cheap labor;
. but, for all that, we must go a thousand miles
awsy to make the wagons.1
Daly nodded and laughed. The end of the
' matter, aa far aa he waa concerned, waa that
he invested his money In the Northern wagon
- : factory, but that he married and nettled In
Alabama. There was sntnethtng that reminded
the Irishman of home In the establishments of
these lavish land princes of the Gulf States.
Daly relished with keen appreciation every
. feature of this life the gambling, duelling,
. lavish geasroaltj, devout church -going, paav
rtooste lore of family. To Van Horn It was
all alien and distasteful.
I tell you," be said, vehemently, one day,
as they discussed It. "there is a stupor in the
- moral atmosphere, like malaria In a sunny air.
It Is rather agreeable, I confess, in the rich
planter. It Is a virtue when it hows Itself In
. hla princely hospitality and good humor. But
see what It does for these poor w hires in
towns, the name class that with us would be
mechanics, shrewd tradesmen, or
"Shrewder thieves I" suggested Daly.

of smoke from the low stern -wheeled boats at
the wharf drifted lastly up against the hills
' that walled ia the town with ramparts of
splendid autumnal color. The wind, blowing
from oS the river, was cold and bracing; there
was a smell of bitumen la it. The redbrick
of the bouses were streaked with sooty shad
ows. The same bitumen colored the clouds
until they lay In masses of Intense crimson

"Juat look, Daly!" he said. " Nowhere is na

eoaland minerals; the soil la rich as that of
the West Indies; yet nowhere will you see
such contented poverty. See that fellow !"
touching: lightly with his foot a lacy fat lout
who lay stretched on a pile of hogsheads.
"That's a fair specimen of the cUiiot
rant, ngged. and brutaL- I'll wager anything
you choose that be will go on sleeping in the
sun until the end, and die as much of a brute
as ever."
Daly glanced at the boy, and the generous
color rose to his eheeka. " N thlna. .-

be said, when they had passed up the wharf.

Looking back, they saw that he waa stand
ing watching them. A few minutes later
. - hwj came uown irom the hotel to go on board
the little steamer which lay puffing and snort-
ing at the landing, and Daly caught sight of
"stsmu-aiaoaing spartirom the crowd,
looking eagerly at him.
He was Zack Nealy, a "bound boy," who
c. . drove a dray for Pettit Clay, a forwarding

point In this good prophet's face, figure, or
bearing Which he did not note the gallant

' hard against his chest. "As good stuff In ma I

open his Moo, but It seemed to him that he

Daty stepped over the gangway, and then
aa the boat shored from shore looked again in
the crowd forth boy. Ha had said what he
did from mere compunction and the good-natured
wish to atone for Van Horn's beedleaa
nese; the same kindly pity filled his mind
aow, and made him, when he caught the lad's
eye, smile snd raise his hat aa he would do to
aa equal.
Zack stood stunned for aa instant, then he

drank with them.
" Hare, Zack 1" on of them called, holding

The men went into tbs mills. The sun had
down; a damp twilight was gathering.

' Mo of Ohio hills, and a red pillar of
- rose from the chimneys of the works. For
the first Olme in his life the boy felt unite

breath to think of It. It would be so much
easier to go oa to-morrow driving the dray.

At that moment utre cam rrom the other
: tide of the river the sound of music an air
- played oa a violin. It waa a Highland call to
battle, full of rough vigor, aad a strange
melancholy aadegaaata. At another time the
lad probably would not hare noticed it, but his
t Irish hwagtnatkKi was at fever-beat now. It
- seamed Ilka a vole ealHag to hla.' "Com

.. H listened, without raovinf;. until the
' last not died away. - Then he rose slowly and
, went hack to the town. He used to say, for
yaara afterward, "It waa aa air oa a violin j
that waa my salvation. I'd give fir year of
my life to hear it again."
The road upward before aa ambitious poor
boy was broad and easy enough among the
generous Southern people, at that time. It
was only necessary lor Zack to go, as be did
the next day, to hi master and employer, and
ssv boldly that he wanted an education, and
the chance to make a man of himself. Colonel
Pettit laoked at him with lazy astonishment,
then clapped htm on the back.
"By gee, sir. I didn't think it was In you!
I'm deuced proud of you, Zark, by gee 1 per
vided it lasts overnight. Well, sir, if you
really mean the thing, you can count on
Joeiah Pettit."
The Colonel gave him half of his time and a
wheelbsj-rowfulof old school books. Every
body helped the boy, every body advised him.
A boy who actually wanted to atudy, to work,
to push himself on, was a black swan in the
little town, of which It was bully proud.
Through thla sunny, sluggish atmosphere,
therefore, young Neally urged his wsy for
seven years. Colonel Pettit cancelled his lo-
laentures when he was sixteen. He was by
rturns clerk on a river boat, a teacher, and
snipping overseer lor rettlt and day. f inally
be took the course usual then with lads In the
smaller Southern town. He aet out for the
river cities, armed with a sheaf of "circular
IntrortoetiorjV from business men, and money
enough to support him far a month. In those
halcyon days this waa enough outfit for a boy
going into the world to seek his fortune. The
larger towns were ready and glad to absorb
the vigorous young blood of the province.
Zack had situation offered to him la Cincin
nati and 8t; Louis, and accepted one in the
house of the Chouteaus in the latter city.
While there he studied medicine in his spare
hours, andaved money to pay for two winter
eoursee of lecture in Philadelphia. After
that he practiced in the hospitals, and settled
at last in a growing town of Western Pennsyl
vania. Be was strongly minded to go back to
his old home. Every man in It was bis friend.
He would rather bare tramped over ita mud
dy, sooty streets than have trod on fields of
thyme and rose elsewhere. The very smell
of Its greasy smoke was sweet to his nostrils.
But Colonel Pettit advised him not to come.
" A doctor must have a certain prestige,"
he said. " He must be the social equal of hit
patients, no we're au mighty proua 01 you,
Zack; but"
"I understand. That' all right," Inter
rupted Vealy, biting the end of his mustache
nervously.
"That thar dray, you aeel It's ondytn',
that sort of remembrance, with Virginians."
So Nealy, not without a certain angry ache
at hta heart, settled among strangers. One or
two lucky hits soon discovered to the public
of Flnnburgh that he was far In advance of
It two old physician a regarded modem
science- He showed an old-fashioned, distinct
courtesy toward wttfnen, too, very winning in
a young man. With men, on the contrary,
.Zack was an Inveterate talker; the Irish gift
of telling anecdotea eras an unknown art In
slow old Flnnburgh, and Zack, having knocked
about a good deal in the world, had a capital
kstory to fit every occasion. Before a month
nad passea, every man in the borough felt
himself In some sort a partisan of this Jolly,
stout, Jewish-faced young doctor. He was
asked everywhere to dinner, to tea. Most of
the eligible young women of the country were
discussed aa suits ble wive for him. Ton
beard hi ray, infectious laugh everywhere.
The truth Is, the fellow was thoroughly hap
py in hi new quarter. This friendly recog
nition was the success which he craved. At
heart he was still the homeless boy, hungry
for companionship and affection. Aa for
money, be took no account of it not even
enoogb. hla enemies say, to pay hla debt,
whlcu, by tb wsy, I am afraid was true.
- When he had been settled in Flnnburgh for
a year, the Bhiras family came into the neigh
borhood. They were of English extraction.
and belonged to a race of scholars. There did
not seem to be much money in the family, yet
the men belonging to it took no mesne to add
to It income, but went on with their leisurely
researches into the life of ancient Greece and
the habitat of spiders calmly as if tbev had
been millionaires. It wss a new Idea to Nealy
as It would be to most Americans that men
of straightened circumstances could fiod other
and higher employment for life than the mak
ing of money. It pleased him immensely. He
went often to the plain little cottage back of
the pine. The repose, the unfathomed cult
ure and wit hinted under their careless, triv
ial talk of every day, the mere fact that the
stock of this family had been honorable gen
tlefolk for centuries It was all a glimpse into
a new world to Nealy. This waa the Brahmin
das which he had longed to enter. He
watched the daughter of the house, rriscilla,
at Bret with a kind of reverent awe and won
der, ah being, as hs thought, the highest type
of this high class. She wss not naturally aa
clever, probably, aa the young girl of the
town; but she had not an idea In common
with them. Their talk waa of house work, of
vulgar finery, and vnhrarer flirtation. Prise il
ia knew no more of these thing then of the
squabble of th flab-women on the river bank.
Bhe had spent most of her life In traveling
through tb beautiful places in the world; her
companions were men who dealt with great
facts and kleaa. They had hedged the girl in
from all rough unseemliness with a fine cour
tesy. In Zack's view she dwelt apart upon a
height; it did not, Indeed, at first occur to
him that he could ever climb to a level with
this young gentlewoman. Her father and un
cle msde a companion of Dr. Nealy. They
found a genuineness and delicacy of feeling In
the young fellow which were different from
the other Finn burghers.
" He ia nndoubt edlv a man of good breeding
and birth," said Mr. Peter Sbiras one day.
"On the contrary, be ha hinted to me that
be bss struggled up from extreme poverty,"
rAlied rriscilla' father.
uThat may be," retorted Uncle Peter, tak
ing off his eyeglasses. " There were many
scions of good families who landed penniless
in Virginia. I never am mistaken in the spe
cie of a man, any more than of a spider."
For three or four months young Dr. Nealy'
mind waa full of his new friends, whether be
was In market, or in church, or at the bed
side of a patient. He thought, probably, that
he was studying them a a species, Miss Sbiras
being the best specimen. He hsd that sense
of ownership in them which we have in a fine
landscape which we alone have discovered.
He could not tolerate th mention of them
from any ordinary Flnnburgher; and when
once a decent old farmer spoke of "that
daughter ot Shirs," though he did it re
spectfully enough, Zack could scarcely re-
vu miisiuk Sim
He did not know what this meant until one
day late in June. He had gone out with a
night moth to Mr. Peter Shirs ; he hsd fallen
Into the habit of taking out specimens after
his last round ot visits was over. It only
needed a few momenta for Uncle Peter to
prove to everybody that the specimen were
worthless, and then they would have tea un
der the pine, while Priscilla, In her pale blue
mws, aat a i ne uiue isoie aad oiled the caps.
This evenine aha waa snt ik.
Nealy glanced quickly around while be was
talking of the moth. He saw her riding down
uv ivw, m auuueriv-iooaing man Deside
her.
"That Is Henry Shlras," said Uncle Peter,
following hla eve. " a cousin far Mmwi
There was eom-t plan when Mis Shlras was a
child of a betrothal between them. But the
young people settle such things altogether
lor tnemaelve in this country. No, no. Dr.
neaiy, you are quite mistaken about this
moth. Look at its nlfass."
Then it was that Dr. Nealy first knew what
had happened to him. He went home, prom
ising to come back later in the evening. It
was a very comfortable, even luxurious,
home to which he went, A little money could
command much in that cheap neighborhood.
In a city the house, with its slope of lawn and
forest about It, would have been reckoned a
stately dwelling. Nealy went restlessly up
vuu muwb uio una swi cauDDwi, trying to
reason to himself. What had he to do with
the ohirssee, or their marrying and giving In
marriage! He had filled up hi thought and
life with them lately, but he was apt to be
vehement In hi friendships. He bsd even
furnished this house aa he bad fancied Pris
cilla would have done hsd It been here, but
that waa because she waa the only woman of
her class that be hsd known, and he wanted
to raise himself to her level
Was that what he wanted t
No, a thousand time not Ha wanted her
nar the woman herself I Soul and flesh and
blood.
He saw hi abject folly now, and the extent
of it. Presently he went down to a hedge
bordering the road where they must pass.
When be saw them coming he crossed It and
stood out on the wagon track, it seemed to
him a if he could wrench the secret from her
by a look, and know what he was to her,
whether all or nothing. He could not wait
an hour to kuow it. Other men might woo
gently and slowly the woman they loved, but
Nealy had the Instincts of his progenitors,
who carried off their wive by one fierce as
sault. Beside, he never had loved before,
and there waa all th fore and depth In his
passion which other men spend In fancies and
flirtation from their schooldays up to mid
die age.
Miss Shir, a she came up, waa looking
down, shyly listening- to her cousin. She
glanced at him when be paused, an admiring
mile lighting her delicate face.
"She has listened to me with her head
drooped in that way a thousand times," mut
tered poor Nealy, "and smiled in Just that
fashion when I had done. What doe it
ean I'
ll only meant that PrtsefHa waa a well-enn-
d acted young woman; deferential to all men
ss her natural superiors ; of an affectionate,
dependent disposition, too, and apt to cling to
the last person who talked to her.
Mr. Henry Shlras naturally waa atartled b
the apparition of this stout, haggard voung
in the middle of the road, who took ntf
hla hat aa Priscilla passed, and forgot to put
it on again. Zack was torn and controlled by
this feeling which had broken bound as ab
solutely aa If be were a boy of sixteen.
"Most extraordinary behavior I" exclaimed
Mr. Bhlraa. Who ia that person, Priscillal"
Mis Shlras flicked her horse's ear nerv
ously with the whin. "Ol that la nr.
a man whom papa has noticed a good deal
laseiy. a very una person Indeed, Henry,"
ta a Stronger voice, Uncle Pater thinks kin
aa admirabl Judge of moths."
" Better Judge of moth than of manners, I
suspect. What doe ha mean bv staring after
vou like a maniac I Another specimen of that
insolent American familiarity which you all
seem to relish so much."
"I do not relish it, Henry," said th gentle
Priscilla.
" Why, yon were commending thla fellow
Just now."
"O no! I said he was very clever a to
moth. But hi manner, of course Ke i$
au American, you know. He baa bad no op
portunity of discovering the difference between
himself and a thoroughly well-bred man."
Her soft eyes were fixed thoughtfully on
her cousin' face. They gave the meaning to
her word.
They stopped at the cottage Just then, and
when the soldierly young fellow lifted her
from her borse, she smiled confidingly back
to him. Yesterday Nealy had lifted her from
her bora and received the smile. Not that
there was grain of coquetry in the girj. But
her cousin Henry was so soldierly, so friendly,
so English, while Nealy yet really Nealys
only fault waa that be waa out of eight.
Not out of bearing, however. The hot-headed
doctor had followed them down tbe dusty
road and heard much of their criticism on
himself. It did not hurt nor even surprise
him that Priscilla spoke thus ot him. Wasn't
It true I What waa be but a bound boy, a
drayman aping tbe gentleman I She knew it
she, standing on her height. As for Henry
Shlras, he did not think for a moment of the
man. He all other men were nothing to him.
Tbe world wa empty but for himself and this
girl.
Nealy stood hidden by th lilac bushes
while young Shirs took leave of her and can
tered down tbe bill. She stood irresolute a
minute in the doorway, and then, turning Into
tbe library, she sat down by tbe piano and be
gan to sing softly to herself. Her conscience
feebly troubled her. She should not have rid
iculed Nealy, who waa waa What was he to
her I She smiled In a faint, decorous way a
she asked herself the question.
The twilight had 1 alien. Zack, from the
outside, could dimly see the neat, slight
figure, the fine, fastidious face. Great Ood I
the gulf between them ! She was to him Just
men ail tnat was rare, nign, unapproacuauic ,
a for hint J. all his old poverty. Ignorance,
brutality, a van Horn bad called it, were
present, ana nung aooui nis neca use a miu-
stone. He groaned and turned away.wnen sne
struck the keys again and played an old High
land air. He stopped; be hsd heard it once be
fore. It was the music which bad long ago
seemed to say "Come up higher" to him.
Zack listened, hesitated, then it seemed ss
though new blood hsd rushed It, to nis Doay.
Pushing through the bushes, he entered the
nouae.
If Nealy had wooed Priscilla after the
conventional fashion ot Mr. Henry 8hiras and
his like, be would have failed. He could not
aoeak any alien tongue. But the poor fellow.
being desperate, bared his heart to her, and,
what was more, bared his life. The Irish hov
el, the dray, the oareioot ooy on toe wnarr,
the long struggle upward be told the whole
story, and, as we know, he could tell a story
well even when his life did not hang as now
upon the words. Priscilla waa geuue, affec
tionate. She had, too, a little cool spark of im
agination somewhere; it kindled and burned.
This was no ordinary man ; it wa a hero. This
wss th old story ot Conhatna and the oeggar
maid reversed. The Idea ot her marriage to
Dr. Nealy waa not new to her. Bhe had con
sidered it frequently in her calm, systematic
way. In all probability she must marry an
Americas ; Dr. Nealy's present position wss
equal to her own ; bis house waa very hand
some, and he himself Bhe glanced at him,
and blushed in a way that maddened him
afresh. Henry Shlras I But Henry could
not marry for years, and she waa not, indeed,
at all certain that he wished to marry her
then.
All this while Zack poured forth his honest
passion, his humility, hi adoration of some
goddess oi a woman.
" Does he really mean met" thought Priscil
la. "He will always regard me in that way,
our social positions being so different."
Then It being time tor her to speak, she told
him, with a proper shyness and blush, that she
preferred him to all other men a a friend, but
that if be wished for more he must talk to
papa, " though" (this with an arch smile)
" oaoa Is so involved in business with the. an
cient Oreeks that be will not be likely to op
pose own wishes."
When he caught that emphasized word
Zack took the cool little hands In his and
kissed them, and could have cried over them,
hla heart was so lull.
Two years later Dr. Nealy aat, one warm
evening in July of 1832, on the porch of his
house. His wife wss beside him. Her chair
was placed so that the vine of pale pink roses
trailed over her delicate head, with ita neat
crown of chestnut hair. It waa Zack' fancy
to always place it there.
So absurd 1" Priscilla said to herself. " Jurt
where the bugs ran drop on to my collar."
But to him she said nothing. These whim
and fancies, even hi hot Irish affection, were
the product, she thought, of his vulgar condi
tion in boyhood. She would not waste her
wifely authority on trifles. When the vulgar
ity showed risen more onensiveiy, it wouiu oe
time to interfere. She was very fond of him,
but she waa always on the watch for it to show
Itself.
As for Zack, hi boyhood or hi old age
troubled him very little Just now. He had
Just eaten a good dinner, and begun a new
pipe ; hla eyea were on hi wife ; bis home wss
comfortable, his pocket wss full; in tbe vil
lage he had all kinds of friend and Jolly com
panions io maae nis me secure ana nappy.
There, according to rule, we ought to leave
him. But there is one short chapter more to
give, and It began that day on the porch.
" I don't see?' he said.reflecUvely, how Ood
could do anything more for me, Priscilla, or
bring me any higher up. Unless well, I
should have liked to see a little fellow skir
mishing around here. I've often thought if I
could only see a baby's head on your breast,
Priscilla, aa on other women's'' There waa
a grave eager longing in his face.
Hie wife pursed her thin lips. "Ton often
make a strange choice of sauects. Dr. Neslv,
This I eapecUlly distasteful to me. . I sup
pose Providence orders our lot for the best."
" O yes. Providence By George 1 there'
Lloyd ! I thought he was in Virginia. I'll go
to the gate to meet him." He hurried away,
glad that Lloyd had appeared Just then. His
bursts of enthusiasm usually received little
dashes of cold water such as mis.
"I'm rough brute, after all," he thought.
" But God kuow I meant wrlL"
Lloyd, who waa a physician in Flnnburgh,
did not come In. The two men stood at the
ste talking a long time so long that Priscll
i grew uneasv.
" The dew is falling, and he has no hat,"
she said, and found it io take to him. As she
came down the path she saw that both men
looked grave and anxious.
" Not a word to my wife," muttered Zack;
and iney turned smiling io meet ner.
"Ton are discussing some serious easel
she ssked, putting Zack' cap on his head.
" Yea. Mra. Neahr."

When she was out of hearing Zack said
u There Is no doubt a to it being genuine

" None whatever. It has swept through the

" By Pomeroy'a mills. Tea, I know every

I waa a boy there, you know. Weill"
"Every body who had the mean to go,
fled week ago; but the poor whites and
negroes are there, and they are dying by the
hundred every day. No boat atop now. I
heard the account from Clapp, who escaped
on foot, and boarded our boat at Steubenville.
He says their condition is horrible beyond be
lief; the dead lying unburled for days, until
they are carted off and thrown into a pit to
gether; want, starvation among the living."
There was a gathering horror, even fear, In
Nealy's face. " Why. Lloyd," he said, "those
people were Ilk my brothers, once. Want
starvation!"
"O, I mean the lower classes mill hands,
workmen."
"SodoL"
" The well-to-do people, I told you, had fled.
There are no nurse," Clapp said, and but one
physician."
"But one physician!"
Nealy, who never could keep stIU when
greatly moved, walked abruptly away. It waa
some moments before he came back. Dr. Lloyd
waa watching htm anxiously.
" What are you going to do!" he said.
"Good God! what can I dot Go to them,
of course. But one physician 1 and I here,
willing my sherry and smoking my pipe 1"
" But your wife!"
"Priscilla! Yes. I I had not thought of
her."
"Of course you have not. Ton have not

over, and you'll see that."
"There is a stag at midnight to Pitta

"Yes; but you will not take It. Tut, tutt

" What are w to do without you, Zack!"
Nealv smiled. Tea. I know I'll be missed
In old Flnnburgh." Then hla eye fell on bis
wife's closed door. He began to gather up
hi papers, his lips turning pale, "it'a right
for me to go," be said, roughly. " Don't make
me think ot what it costs me."
There was a pause. "Doe she know!"
asked Lloyd.
' No. I can not say good-bye to her. There
Is a letter for her with the other papers.
Now go, Lloyd. Walt for me at the inn until
the stage come." Hs went with Lloyd out
on the porch ; then he unclosed the shutter of
his chsmoer, and looked in at his sleeping
wife. If he opened the door It would waken
her. The moonlight shone softly on the fine,
somewhat hard face. Zack saw no hardness
there.
"Dear little tender heart!" he said, the
tears running down his rough eheeka. He
hsd been too coarse for her. When he came
back be would try harder than ever. When
be came back! What if he never entered
that room again!
An hour later the stage going south
stopped at Flnnburgh and took in a single

It was the 1st of September, and the

" How la he. Colonel I"

"Well, sir well!" cried the Colonel.
The doctor shook hi head. " Reaction with

Pettit nodded, groaning. " It's God's work.

"He' a merry, affectionate fellow," said
the doctor, who waa not given to abstract

About sunset an ominous silence fell on the

The Highest Signal Station in the
World.
Th United States signal station at
Pike's Peak js tha highest signal sta
tion in the world; it is also the highest
inhabited portion oi the globe. It was
opened in the month of September,
1873. That it was a wise provision of
the Government in establishing a signal
station at this point is no longer ques
tioned, the facts having already demon
strated its practicability, and the pres
ent success promises that Pike's Peak
signal station is yet to stand at the
head of all astronomical and meteoro
logical stations in the world. This
point is wonderfully favored by nature
for the study of astronomy and me
teorology. The rarity of the atmos
phere brings out a remarkable brillian
cy and clearness to the stars and all
the heavenly bodies. The nights are
most always cloudless and cloudy days
are the exception. Nine-tenths of the
storms are below the Peak. The best
and most complete report of the last
total eclipse of the sun received at
Washington was tne report of rro-
fessor Loud, of Colorado College,
from observations taken at Pike's Peak.
The signal station is now under the
charge of Sergeants Choate, Blake and
Sweeney. These officers are detailed
from the army because of their pecu
liar adaptability and special qualifica
tions for the accurate execution of the
nice duties of taking astronomical and
meteorological observations, io ser
geant Rufus Choate I am greatly in
debted for the particulars embodied in
this article.
The summit of Pike's Peak contains
sixty acres. It is 14,336 feet above the
level of the sea. On the highest point
of the summit stands the signal sta
tion, a rough stone building twenty
four by thirty, one story in height. It
is divided into four rooms officers1
room, kitchen, store-room and wood-
room. And here in this bleak spot,
nearly twenty miles from the habita
tion of man, though three miles nearer
the heavenly regions than most parts
of New England, these men live the
larger part of the year. The station is
three miles from the timber line, where
the greater part of vegetation ceases.
Short grass tufted with delicate Al
pine flowers struggle for an existence
against the frigidity of the atmosphere
and creep toward the mountain top;
but there are hundreds of acres of
cold, gray and reddish rocks where
not a vestige of verdure exists.
L-ute the dwellers of tne arctio re-
ons, the Inhabitants of Pike's Peak
ave but two seasons summer and
winter. Two months of summer Au
gust and September and ten long, cold
months of winter. The summer sea
son passes quickly. The atmosphere is
congenial; the many visitors at the
peak enhance its social life with Joy,
wonderment and mirth. During the
summer of 1878 npward of 900 people.
in parties of from five to thirty, visited
the peak, among them many ladies.
They registered from the four quarters
of the globe, and they all expressed ad
miration and astonishment at the gran
deur and sublimity of the wonderful
views as seen from the peak. To be
hold a sunrise from the peak is an event
of a lifetime, and for this purpose vis
itors often remain over night at the sta
tion to be ready to catch the first
glimpse of the sun aa it appears above
the horizon, gilding with its bright rays
tne mountains, bills, valleys and plains.
to the wonder and delight of the amazed
oenoiaer.
The duties of the officers are various.
Seven observations are taken daily; all
Btorms are closely watched and each
special and distinctive characteristic
duly recorded. Sunrise and sunset de
mand close attention. Every peculiari
ty of the heavenly regions is viewed
and record made of the same, and
monthly reports of these records are
sent to the headquarters at Washing
ton. The present year has been un
usually prolific in sun-dogs, which are
said to prognosticate earthquakes, sub
terranean explosions, immense freshets,
and troublous times. A Government
office at Pike's Peak is no sinecure, for
the officer must buffet all storms aad
brave all weathers. Occasionally an
electric storm visits the peak. There is
but little thunder accompanying these
storms, but the mountain seems all on
fire. Sergeant Choate informs me that
when he was out observing one of these
storms it appeared as though the whole
mountain top was a sheet of electric
flame. It came out of every rock and
darted around with wonderful audacity.
It played around him, as he expressed
it, shot down his back and darted out
of each boot toe, and so completely
filled him with electricity that he could
not retain hi foothold, but bounded
and rebounded from the rock like a
rubber ball; he felt as though a power
ful electrio battery was pouring fiery
darts all through him, and, deeming
discretion the better part of valor."
be bounded into the signal station for
preservation. Sergeant Choate was at
the Springs in December, and on Deo.
21 he left for the peak, wearing Nor
wegian snow shoes twelve feet in
length. It was a weary task and a
dreary trip, ihe nrst night out be
slept In the snow on the mountain's
side. The second night the mercury
fell to twenty degrees below zero. He
sought shelter in a deserted cabin.
through which the wind whistled tunes
anything bat agreeable: here he built
a small fire, but avoided sleep, fearing
the extreme cold might produce the
sleep of death. The third day he
reached the station safely.
The summer months are also occu
pied in preparing for the long siege of
winter. During the months of August
and September upward of 3,000 pounds
of the usual variety of family stores
and about twenty-five cords -of fire
wood are snugly stowed away. These
are all carried to the peak in small
quantities on the backs of the poor, de
spised Burro, whose head has the ap
pearance of being encased in cloth.
and whose ears are nearly the length of
his legs, and who walks at the pace of
a snail, and a very slow snail at that.

Peculiarities of the Hog Cholera.
At the late annual session of the New
York State Grange, held at Ithaca, N.
Y., Prof. James Law being called upon
to (rive a brief account of his investiga
tion into the so-called hog cholera, re
sponded in tne following very interest
ing remarks, for which we are indebted
to the uuabanaman:
The work which I have undertaken
for the Agricultural Department of the
Government is to establish facts in re
gard to this dreadful disease, which
has destroyed such vast numbers of the
swine of this country. I have not been
seeking for remedies so much as to learn
of the character of the malady. The
work of seeking a remedy should be
conducted in the midst of the contagion
and not where only a few specimens
are at band for experiment, as in my
case. Specimens of the virus of the
disease were sent to me with the dis
eased organs of swine, and during their
examination an intelligent student, who
had some acquaintance with the Rus
sian rinderpest, remarked the striding
similarity in the appearance of the
parts affected with the hog cholera and
rinderpest. If it is like the rinderpest
it is more than folly to seek remedies
for affected animals. They had better
be killed at once and put out oi tbe
way of spreading the disease.
We should look rather to means for
preventing: the spread of the contagion.
Prevention is better than cure. In
order to know how to prevent the dis
ease we must know all about it. We
want to understand in what ways the
aisease may dc coniracwa, now it can
spread. I have made a number of ex
periments upon this point. In the first
place I have permitted healthy swine to
eat the virus, but nave not succeeded
in conveying the poison in this way.
have inoculated healthy swine with
small particles of the virus, and have
in this way been successful in impart
ing the disease. The virus has been
sent me from New Jersey, North Caro
lina, and other points on quills, in
some cases the virus was comparative
ly fresh; in others it was several days
old and completely dried, hut there
seemed to be no perceptible difference
in its efficiency for conveying the dis
ease.
It is certainly important for us to
know that a very minute particle of the
virus, after being transported thous
ands of miles, and kept until it is dry
and scarcely perceptible, is suil capa
ble oi conveying tne contagion, it sug
gests many other ways in which the
poison may be spread, xt may re car
ried bv the wind, on scraps of paper,
or even on thistle downs. It may have
adhered to the boots or clothing of at
tendants, or to the feet or bair of dogs.
The many hundred ways of conveying
the disease will readily suggest tnem
selves as points in its alarming char
acter.
I have inoculated the virus from
fresh intestines, and, as I have said,
when it was old and dried, but with
unvarvincr success. In one case
failed to produce disease 'when the
virus was taken from diseased intestines
sent to me from New Jersey, but they
were partly putrid, which suggests that
putrefaction may destroy the germs of

1 have been testing the virulence of
the blood of diseased animals, and
have inoculated it frequently, almost
invariably producinsr the disease.
have been able to find in the tainted
blood living particles, but they are
very small, requiring a glass of one
thousand magnifying power to discover
them.
A test was made to determine the ef
fect of freezing on the virus. After it
had been firmly frozen for more than a
day it seemed to have lost none of its
effectiveness for conveying the disease.
Another experiment was made to de
termine the contagious character of the
disease. A healthy animal was placed
in a pen between two sick ones. Dif
ferent persons attended the sick and
well animals, and every precaution
was taken not to assist in the convey
ing of the disease from the sick pigs to
the well ones. In inspecting the pens I
always visited the ones where the
healthy pigs were first. After twenty
four days the pig was attacked with
the disease. In cases where healthy
pigs were inoculated, thirteen days was
the longest time that intervened be
tween inoculation and the development
of the disease.
In another experiment I put a sound
pig in a pen tnat had been vacated
thirteen days before by a diseased an
imal. The pig contracted the disease
and died within fifteen days of the time
it was put in the infected pen. In one
experiment I put a well pig in the pen
with a sick one. It went through a
mild form of the disease and is now re
covering. I am satisfied that the mal
ady is not readily imparted by conva
lescent animals.
1 have also made experiments to as
certain whether this disease could be
imparted to other animals than the nig.
I inoculated a rabbit with the blood of
a sick pig, producing the disease in the
rabbit, and with the blood of the in
fected rabbit I conveyed the disease to
a healthy pig. With tbe same blood
that I used to inoculate a rabbit I im
parted the disease to a lamb, and from
that I am now endeavoring to convey
it to pigs again. The object of these
latter experiments is to find what an
imals can contract the disease and
convey it from place to place. I am
still conducting various experiments
bearing upon this disease, and in due
time a fuller statement of the work
will be given to the public.

can; then hang out to dry. As soon as
dry, give the article another coat of oil;

stir into the flour until all is nicely

about three-quarters of a pound, roll

into the ball, work it around with the
thumb and fingers until yoa can get in
the tips of the fingers; then work it or
smooth it to the back of the hand until
it is a mold, round or oval about six
inches on the bottom, and pour on top.
Be careful to have the crust all of one
thickness; have ready nice tender pork,
cut in small dice-like pieces, season
with salt and pepper, as for sausage,
fill the crust mold within one inch from
the top, put on upper crust-cut smooth
ly around, bake in a moderate oven one
hour, or until the meat will be cooked
thoroughly; to be eaten cold.
Nothiko is easier than to spoil the
appetite, to make the animal fretful
and restless, and to put a stop to all
improvement, by the mere irregularity
of feeding. A boast fed to-day at six
o'clock, to-morrow at seven, and the
next day at eight, will fret each suc
cessive day from the time of his former
feed to that of the present day's. Soon
he falls into a restless habit, as he never
knows when his ration is to be ex
pected, and anxiety destroys thrift.
Nor is it the mental turmoil alone that
forbids improvement; the stomach fails
to adapt itself to the uncertain supply,
and a quantity of partially-digested
food is thrown upon the bowels for the
support of an economy whose wants
have been materially increased. The
feeding of stock should never be made
subsidiary to other work a thing to be
attended to at any time when other du
ties have been disposed of. Inanimate
objects can better afford to wait than
can the living and often acutely sensi
tive live stock, and he who fails to re
alize this will ever fail in securing a
full return from this species of prop
erty. Wouldn't Take the Responsibility.
I was on board a Sound steamboat in
a snow-storm one night before Thanks
giving. The President of the company,
the Treasurer and two directors were
on board. All at once there was a
rattling of the chains, and it was evi
dent the anchor was down. The officials
rushed up to the Captain's office and
exclaimed: ' What does this mean.
Captain Williams?" It means that I
have anchored the boat." ' ' But to
morrow is Thanksgiving; we' must get
home anvhow. The old Commonwealth
has weathered worse galea than this."
The Captain sat down at the table and
wrote a positive order from the Presi
dent, Treasurer and directors to raise
the anchor and proceed against his own
judgment. " Sign that order, gentle
men, and I will proceed." Of course
not one of them would sign it. That's
the way it is," said Williams; " not a
man of you would take the responsibil
ity. You want me to violate my own
judgment, and if anything happened
you will turn on me and say: You
are a sailor and we are not.' " And the
old boat did not budge until morning.
