Rumored Attempts to Com
promise Through the
Ovingtons.
Mr. Tilton Refuses to Call at Tltlr
Rouse Now or Hereafter,
And Utterly Refuses to Discuss witi
Them Any Points in tho
Controversy.
Hr. Beecher Again Preaches in the
Twin-Mountain House.
Special Diwatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New Youk, Sopt. G.—An Incident which gave
some slight support in Brooklyn to tho rumors
of attempted compromise, which woro tele
graphed from Now England on "Saturday, was
tho effort of Mrs. Oviogton, on both
Friday and Saturday, to boo Mr. Til
ton. She called first at Mr. Tilton’s
residence, in Livingston street, on Friday
afternoon, but not finding him at homo, amt
the housekeeper being unable to say whore ho
oouid bo found, she thou called at Sir. Moul
ton’s, iu Botnson street, thou at a restaurant on
Montague street, and lust of all tlio office of
Judge 8. D. Morris, Mr. Tilton’s counsel.
Not meeting Sir. Tilton at any of these places,
Mrs. Ovingtmi gave up tho search, but on Satur
day afternoon addressed Mr. Tilton a note ask
ing him to call at her house. Mr. Tilton re
sponded without delay ns follows :
Xlr*. K. J, Orlnylon t
Madam: 1 was-surprised to learn Hint you bad
called at my lioiiihj lust evening, and still more sur
prised to receive from you to-dny a latter requesting
mo to end at ycur*. Allow mo to remind you Hint
shortly after Mm. Tilton, by your connivance, descried
her Homo and went to reside with your
family, I called upon you In order to say
Unit if slio wished any articles from our house aho bad
only to name thorn and they would bo sent; or If sho
wished to visit the bouse In order to select nmt
pack the articles under her own supervis
ion, I would retire for a day to enable
her to do bo without embarrassment. Yon nnd your
husband chose to mistake the facte, spirit, and nature
of this Interview, and communicated to the public
press the haso Insinuation that I had taken advantage
of your husband’s absence in order Invndo your house
and to force my way into Mrs. Tilton's presence.
Since that time various reports originating In your
family huvu appeared In tho public prints to tho
oiVcct that you bad sequestered Mrs. Tilton
In tills place or Hint, in city or country,
keeping her whereabouts a profound secret,
lest I should be tempted to pursue her with violence.
Moreover, my daughter Florence, though desired by
her mother to visit her, it being tho mother’s rigid to
see her child, was for a long tlmo refused access to
Mrs. Tilton through your agency, and was subjected
thereby to grout paiu mid mortification.
In view of these nnd other simitar fads,
not a few in number, and in view also of tho still more
serious fact that you were tho willing ogout of Mr.
licochcr’fl advisors in tempting Mrs. Tilton to desert
her homo to Join her husbiind’s enemies,
to conspire with her, ending in her expo
sure, and, finally, to bo practically flung
away by (hem and publicly insulted by Mr. Beecher's
Committee nnd tho Christian Union, 1 foot it my duty
to inform you that I cannot accept an Invitation to
visit your house either now or hereafter. Yours
truly, (Signed) TitEODonu Tiltok.
Upon tho receipt of this lottor, Mrs. Ovington
called again nt Mr. Tilton’s house, where she in
formed him that she had boon seeking to consult
with him regarding a matter of importance.
Mrs. Tilton Inquired if his reply to her note had
boon received by her. She said it was not
satisfactory. Mr. Tilton repeated to bor tho
substance of his lottor, that ho could not consult
with either herself or her husband npon any
matter in any way bearing upon the present
controversy: that they hud chosen to mis
represent him on every possible oc
casion to tho public press, and tlmt
at tbo present stage it would bo no
more appropriate for him to confer with her
or her husband than with Mrs. or Mr. Ucochor.
Mrs. Ovington remained at Mr. Tilton’s perhaps
half an hour, and repeatedly endeavored to
inlcodnco the subject of her cnee, but
he assured her that consultation
upon any other subject than tbo one
which bad become a public controversy would bo
agreeable to him, and that her mission .could
not be fulfilled. Mr. Ovington stated last even
ing that tbo call of bis wifo upon Mr. Tilton had
reference to lb* children of tbo latter. It
had boon dote:lnhiod to send Alice and
Carroll Tilian to u'boardlng school out of tho city,
and it was though/ bust that they should go to
Mr. Oviugton’s for a short time so that
their mother could get them ready.
Mr. Tilton, ho said, bad forbidden
this, and Mrs. Ovington wished to see
him to ask his permission directly for them to
come. Air. Oviugton's idea of facts is becoming
sadly confused. Ho said a few weeks ago to the
writer that Mr. Tilton took advantage of bis ab
sence to attempt to gain by force an interview
•with Mrs. Tilton in bis (Mr. Oviugton’s) house.
To-day bo denied having over said anything of
tho kind, and added that ho thought Mr. Tilton
did not act unfairly or improperly in tho matter.

A Story ol tlie Emperor William*
A Hamburg newnparer relates the following
atorys “A young married couple, on thoir wed*
dinp jouruov, resided for some time on tlio
Bhorcfl of tlio Lake of Constance, and one day
vieiled the colobrated Yolo of iloJtmu, where nt
tbo wuno time tho Emperor William was re
ading as guest of the Grand Buko of Baden.
After having strolled about upon tho lovely
ifliand for a time, tho young couple determined
to cross to the main land, hut the weather had
unfortunately changed for the worse \ the wind
blow lu violent gusts, ami tlio waves dashed
u-lfh unoh vehemence against the shio of tbo
mioboT»« wU---itbey li«l embarked that the
uf.or many fruulwM efforts, declared
U Impossible to proceed. Tho boats head was
therefore turnon toward the Inland, and In a row
minutes its inmates woro landed again, but
completely at a loss what to do and wlioro to
pasn tlio night. The Emperor William and his
son-in-law, tho Grand Duko, hod boon standing
on tho strand and watching tho efforts of
tho boatmen to make head against tho
storm. After tho young eouplo had landed tho
Emperor mot thorn on tho hoaoh, Inquired It

ter their names, about their oliouraßtanccs,
wlioro they woro from, and various other things.
In tho meantime ho gave orders for steam to bo
got np in his own Utile iron steamer,
and Informed tho young man and his wife
that it would ootivoy thorn iu safety to tho
opposite shore. Tho ladr had, however, been
so frightened by tho first encounter with
tho wild waves that she Boomed rather to doubt
whothor tho stoamor was more trustworthy than
tho boat had proved, and expressed her appre
hensions at last quite onouly. “Do not ha in
tho least alarmed, M said tho Emperor, in tho
kindest and most affable manner possible; “ you
can embark in tho steamer without any fear; she
will carry you safely across. She bears ray name,
* Tho Emperor William,’ and that is enough to
reassure you.”

Special Liepateh tb The CMeaao Tribune,
Joliet, 111., Sopt. G.—Tho fifth day of tho
National Camp-Mooting opened with magnificent
weather, the sun shining brightly. Tho roads
are iu splendid condition from tho recent rains.
Tho usual programme of exorcises woro ob
served, with uo variation. Tho early morn
ing services at half-past 5 o'clock
wore conducted by tho Rev. Osborne, of
Atlanta, Ga., at which, unusual, there was a
largo attendance. The morning services proper
wore conducted by Prcsidout Inskip, who
preached with his usual great power and elo
quence from tho words, 44 Follow ponce with all
men and holiucHS." At 1 p. m.. tho Rev. G. R.
Van Homo, of Rochcllo, 111., assisted by Mrs.
Joimio F. Willing, conducted a very interesting
children’s mooting in tho tabernacle, at which
thoro were probably 7Qoor 800 children present, as
well as a largo number of adults, At 2:80
o'clock tbo Rov.;Vaimndn, of St. Louis, delivered
a very able discourse from tho pulpit to about
C,ooo*hoftierfl. At G o'clock p. tn. a general
prayor-meoting was held iu tho tabernacle. To

was expected, tho attendance to-day Ims
bcou innneiiKO. Will County was fairly
on wheels. Tlio number of vehicles
of all classes arriving at tho grounds
were variously estimated at from 1,200 to 2,000.
Tho number of persons in attondnuco is placed
at from 6,000 to 16,000 ; probably between 0,000
and 8.900 would bo a correct estimate. In order
to meet the expenses attending tho meeting, a
collection was taken at tlio principal services to
day to raise the necessary funds, Ono thousand
dollars was required and was quickly sub
scribed. The most munificent donation
noticed was tb&t of Otis Hardy, Esq.,
of Joliet, who passed np SIOO. Mr.
Hardy is a retired Ininbor-dcalor, and Di
rector of tho First National Bank of Joiiot.
lie is ontlmsiaslm in (ho causo of Methodism,
much being duo to his fidelity aud energy on tho
present as all similar occasions on thoso grounds
heretofore. Contrary to usual gatherings
of this nature, general good order ami
quietness prevails. The grounds are
well , policed by an omplo force, la charge
of policeman Harden of the regular
Chicago force, who is on furlough for tins oc

his ability, and think that too much praise can
not bo awarded him. Tiio Rev. W. O. Willing,
Presiding Elder of tlio Joliet District, is inde
fatigable in ids labors in caring for tho wants

THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 1874,
IN THE AIR.
Voyage of the Balloon ''City of
Buimio.**
Five Hundred Miles in Twenty-four
Hours.
Scenes and Incidents of the Trip.
Special THwatch to The Chicane Ttioune.
Cleveland, 0., Sept. 0. —Tho balloon “City
of Buffalo," which started from the park In this
city at 11 a ra. Friday, made a most interesting
voyage of nearly 500 miles, and landed at 11:20
p. m. near Smith's Crook, 10 miles from Port
Ilnron, .Mich- Its course was at first northwest
.from Cleveland, until, when about G miles from
Cleveland, it rose into an easterly current and
was carried down tho lako to a point beyond
Erie. Thou tho balloon was brought down sev
eral thousand foot Into a westerly current and
carried to tho month of Detroit Elver,
thence northward over Detroit and Luke
St. Clair to a point of landing. A special corre
spondent of Tiik Tribune, who accompanied
Prof. King, says of tho voyage: “At noon our
altitude was 2,971 foot, and wo seemed almost
stationary for a short timo. Tho Professor
gradually discharged his sand-ballast, hoping to
find a soa breeze at a higher altitude, mid thus
bo enabled to pass over tho land. After a short
experience there, however, It was found that
wo woro destined to ft voyage lakoward,
and perhaps to Buffalo, which would have boon
a satisfactory arrangement. At 12:80 our
altitude was 2,527 feet above tho lake. At 1:80
p. m., tho Buffalo was off Painosvlllo, and tho
air was still very light and variable. Prof. Hol
den eat with his instruments constantly before
him. and ho consulted tho barometer and ther
mometer from time to timo, reporting to Com
modore King the status of affairs, whothor wo
woro rising or falling; while tho Leader moo
took tho boaring ami held tho compass. After a
good, substantial lunch, tho members of
tho expedition joined in tho chorus
of several souga, under the leadership
of Prof. King. At 2 p. m. we noticed
tho singular, but woil-known, phenomenon of
tho different currents of air in tho nppor deeps.
Tho schooner which wo saw far beneath ns was
making short tacks with tlio wmd from tbo
northeast, whilo wo ot a height of 1.752 foot
woro bom slowly in that direction—that is, wo
woro under tiio influence of a light air (it could
hardly bo called a broezo) from tho south west
ward. CapL King on gelling over the hike let
down his drag-rope, a 2-inch manilla cord
about 850 foot in length. Tills had a
tendency to steady the nir-ehip, so that its mo
tion was almost imperceptible. At 2:80 tho
masts of a threo-maatod vessel wore soon stand
ing about 10 or 20 feet above tbe surface of tho
water off Paiucsviilo, or between that point and
Ashtabula. lOur highest altitude up to
8 p. m. was 2,QUO feet; at 3:15, 4,200
feet above ■ tbo level of tho lako,
or 4,780 feet abovo sea level; at 0:45 p. tn.,
1,000 feet. Just below tho Erie peninsula
Cnpt. King decided to approach tho lako and try
tho merits of tho drag-rope. Descending until
within about fifty foot of tho water, wo struck
tho northeast current of wind, and instead of
reaching Bnirnlo, as wo had hoped to do at one
timo, wo woro homo swiftly ou tho book track,
and woro swept along about west-south
west. Soon afterward tho current again changed,
and our couruo was thence about wosfenorthwost,
and wo gradually noarod to land, to our
satisfaction. Wo flow past Pomt-au-Pin,
and slowly descending, wo eagerly
scrutinized tbo shores to distinguish any perma
nent point or settlement that might lie in our
path. At 7p. m. wo mu in over the Canada
shore, and sweeping down dose over the laud
wo ascertained that wo wore just bolow Poinl
ivu-Polloo, iu tho Town of Moreoa, in Essex Coun
ty, and crossing thence tho Township of West
Tilbury and tlio widest portion of Lako St. Clair,
souring away übovo tho clouds in our transit.
Tins was ono of tlio most intensely in
teresting and remarkable experiences of our
trip. The fooling awakened in mo was
similar to that 1 have known on
witnessing come of tho gorgeous transforma
tions in the Block Crook at Niblo's. Tho groat
globe above our beads seemed poised in a per
fect vacuum, while not a word was spoken for
same minutes, as the minds of all seemed thun
der-struck at tho strange, Imposing scone,
Whilo sweeping over tho County of Essex, wo
had frequent exchanges of words with tho in
habitants, whom King asked to take hold of our
drag-rope. Ono follow, an Irishman undoubt
edly, sang out, 4 Och, yco’s going too fast
fer that.’ So ou wo swept, on our
airy flight, now rising, now slightly
fulling, and discharging ballast from Unto to
timo uu circumstances demanded. A weird and
imposing scene lay below us, whilo at times wo
woro borne along on tiio wings of tho wind liter
ally, and all tho timo a solemn stillness reigned.
At one point of our passage across the Canada
shore our drng-ropo caught in the trees ond wo
were steadily anchored, as it seemed, but not so
steadily either, for tho wind blow in strong easts,
and tho aerial moustor swayed fearfully abovo
our heads. Finally, after a most exciting export
o':o \we managed,by throwing overboard sufficient
ballast, to tear tho rope looto, ami tho balloon
shot upward with a tremendous jerk, almost
throwing tho passengers from their seats. After
an hour and a half of this oloud-exporionco, as
near ns wo could judge,—for, as uo fire was al
lowable near this gassy monster, wo could only
judge of our course and timo by guess-work,—
King judged it wiso to approach our nether
world more closely to tako observations, for it
was tho opinion of several familiar with lako
navigation that wo woro going iu tlio
direction of Lako Huron, a couruo that woo
to bo carefully avoided in tho present state of
our ballast and gas, which hod both been largely
drawn upon. Sighting tho earth onco more wo
saw lights nud fires of charcoal-burners, and tho
top valvo was opened freely and often to expe
dite our descent. Keating tho abodes of our
follow-men onco more, wo found that our course
had been changed iu all probability, and the
lights ot a largo town woro discerned. As wo
approached tho onrth and could distinguish tho
dwellings, wo rent tiio upper air with repented
cheers ut tho extent of our voices. By
nud by wo couid oven distinguish tlio French
Canadian patois. On our right bund lay a river,
which 1 hardly supposed wide enough for tho •
St. Clair, and hundreds of lights woro gleaming
in every direction. Our drng-ropo was now
swooping over the tops of tho trees nud tlio
roofs of dwellings, causing tiio basket ,to sway
violently to and fro, and rendering a good, firm
grasp almost ineffectual to hold us iu a place
of safety. Swiftly now wo approached the
earth, calling lustily from time to timo
for aid those bolow who
might hoar our earnest shouts. Still wo woro
doomed to disappointment, for no answering
halloo was borne to our expectant oars. But now
tbo time had come for decisive and immediate
action, and Mr. King pulled frequently ou the
upper vnlvo-ropo, causing a rushing discharge of
gas and a consequent rapid descent of the in
flated moustor which had borne us so swiftly ami
safely ovor tho perilous passage of 450 miles,
two-thirds of which was over tho waters of
Lakes Erie and St. Clair. Down, still down, wo
descended, until a clear spot soemod to ho
rloso at hand, and on a sudden plump came our
basket upon terra Anna once more. King and
Coznd grasped tho stump of a burnt tree, ami
whilo tho latter clung to it with all his might ami
main, tho • Commodore quickly passed the lan
yards attached to tho heavy iron rings at tho
haeo of tlio balloon around tlio tree. Another
ono look hold of tho drag-rope and securely fast
ened it around a neighboring tree. Each one
was cautious nut to leave his seat iu tlio
basket, us all tho weight was needed to
make our anchorage secure. Tims wo re
mained, tho all-ship meanwhile swaying fearful
ly over head and threatening to tear out anchor
and trees from their earthly hold. Ono of our
number was dispatched to rouso the uoighhoi
hood and got such aid as wo greatly needed in
order to bring our unruly ship to the ground
with as UUlo damage as possible. Our highest
altitude was attained at 8 p. m. of Friday, Doing
4,097 foot ahoyo tho lake level, and our moan
altitude was 4,000 foot above tho sea.
Iu passing over Morsoa Township, Essex
County, on tho Canada side, wo descended to
within 500 foot of tho lako level, ibonco swoop
ing over West Tilbury Township. Wo crossed
Lake Bt. Clair about half-a-milo anovo tho clouds.

Loudon (Aug, 22) Correspondence of ths AVso York
Graphic.
There is always plenty of scandal afloat con
cerning our Princes; and the latest yarn is that
tho Prino« of Wales is again compromised in an
other affair of <ictlaHlcric* His chief favorite*
till she was “sold up” last year, is said to have
boon the widow of a gentleman once bearing a
great name in tho banking world—a name which
was on everybody's lips on that terrible "Black
Friday." *Tho present favorite is said
to bo the most beautiful woman in
England,—a lady whoso husband
is well known In matters of Spanish finance and
banking. The Prince of Wales owes nearly a
million of money. Bat it must not bo sup
posed that his favorites are enriched by his gen
erosity. Tho Prince, although on pleasure bout,
has a frugal mind. It is probable that tbo pen
ultimate lady cost him something handsome.
Tho Htor; is that ho gave her £IO,OOO a year. She
is now living In a very humble way, probably at
a rate of £9OO a year. When her establish
ment was broken up and sold by hor cred
itors tlioio was a groat rush of purchasers, and
competition for certain articles in the house
was lively. Tho three principal creditors of
tho Prince ore the Duke of Sutherland; Mr.
Poole, tho tailor; mid Mr. Lawson, tho principal
proprietor of tho Daily Telegraph. Tho Princo
had about a million of pounds saved up for him
when ho attained his majority. 110 has ever
since had an income of about £129,01)0 a year.
Ills wife is not extravagant. But now he is iu
debt to tbo tune of £850,000 or £1,000.000, and
it is a groat mystery where tho money has gone
to. In about twelve years be has managed to
spend more Hun $9,250,000 sterling, or nearly
$17,000,000. Ho is is anxious to got out of debt
—or ot least his creditors want tboir money.
Ho applied to Uia late Government fur assist
ance, but they refused to do aiiytlung. Ho has
renewed his application to tho present Govern
ment, and thu matter is under consideration.
One of tho picas ho makes is that ranch of tho
money was spent iu discharging duties that be
longed to tbo Queen. There is something in
tills; but thou, if it be bo, tho Queen should pay
it, and not tho people. The Queen, lam told,
has occasionally given considerable suras to ttio
Princo. Just before tho marriage of tho Duiio
of Edinburg, somo of the creditors of that
young gentleman (who is also hi debt) pressed
for their mouoy, and threatened to uialae a row
about it if they were not paid. The Queen come
to the rescue, and paid £15,000 oat of hor own
purse to satisfy those olairas.
At tho next session of Parliament a bill of
some Wild will bo introduced for tho relief of tho
.Prince of Wales. Most probably it will consist
of a vote of money and an authotizntiou for the
capitalization of the revenues of tho Duchy of
Cornwoll for a certain number of years. Those
revenues amount to about £50,000 a year. A
capitalist would do well to pay £500,000 down
and take tho revenues for leu yoais. By these
means tho money to pay tho debto of tho Priuco
might bo raised, but ho would iu tho meantime
bo deprived of half his income.
There has been a ridiculous story floating
about town for a few days to tho effect that now
that tho Princess of Wales has gone buck to
Doutmirk with her father she will remain there,
and that, tired of tho continued infidelities of
her husband, a quiet separation will bo effected.
I cannot think there is any foundation for tho
report.
Although this is tbo dead and dull period in
London, the Empress of Austria, tho X’rineo
Charles of Hounmuia, and tho Princess and
tbo Priuco Alphonse of Spain are now boro ;
and Prince Milan of Servia is coming,—looking
about, Uis said, for a wife. Ho cannot havo
our own dear Beatrice, for hor careful mother
has already promised hor to a Gorman. Tho
past gay season in London was not so very gay
as had been hoped. The Duke and Duchess of
Edinburg did not do as much as was expected
of them, and they gradually dropped out of soci
ety by reason of a coming event which is expect
ed to occur in October, and which will bring
over to England a host of Babaian doctors and
nurses, together with the Empress' mamma. A
country seat in Kent has boon taken for tho oc
casion. Tho Duke, you wilt remember, was very
angry with tbo Times for anticipating this event,
but tbo Times was inspired by tho Queen, and
Hor Majesty know perfectly well what she was
talking aboqt.
CAPTURE OF DESPERATE CHARACTERS.
Lust midnight a party of eight or nine ruffianly
young hoodlums wore carousing in a notorious
saloon, Jtopfc by ono Ilngorty, at tho corner or
Elizabeth and Kiuzio streets, and attracted tho
attention of Patrolmen Cannon and Wolfe by
tlioir noise. Tho officers attempted to outer tho
place,- when they woro attached by tho
party.' Mrs. Ilngorty making herself conspicu
ous by. nourishing a hammer and pounding
Wolfe on tho shoulder with it. Two shots wero
fired at Cannon by ono of the roughs, and tho
officers woro compelled to boat a temporary ro
treae until reinforcements arrived from tho sta
tion. Several other patrolmen came on tho
scone, but the majority of the roughs escaped.
Mis. Hagortv and her two sons, Michael and
John, and John Martin were captured and taken

A Matrimonial 171 art in Italy
A paper of the late Lady Amborly in Macmil
lan's jilagazim describes a visit she paid to a
novel institution in Palermo. Picture a large,
long room, the centre portion of which is divided
oil from tho sides and further end by an iron
grating which forms a cage, entered only by a
well-barred street door, through which visitors
from tho outer world weto admitted. Hero they
sit on benches to converse with those on tho
outside of tho irou grating. Friends of tho
Sisters or employes of the place and
the foster parents are tho usual vis
itors. Once a week, however, on Sunday
mornings, from 10 to 12, this place is tho
scene of tho most novel and ludicrous
courtships. Quo of the objects of this
motherly establishment is to find fit and
proper husbands for tho girls under their charge,
tho only requisite being that the young man is
bound to show himself iu possession at sufficient
means to maintain a wife iu comfort before ho is
allowed to aspiro to tho hand of ono of these
precious damsels. Having given iu his creden
tials of fitness to tho guardians, ho receives a
card which admits him next Bunday morning to
an Inspection of tho candidates for matrimony.
There, sitting on tho bench, if his curiosity
ond ardor will allow him to remain sitting, ho
waits tho arrival of tho other side of tho grating
of tho Lady Superior, accompanied by a girl.
She Ims been selected by tho order of seniority
and capacity for household work from the hun
dred or more between 17 and 21 awaiting fora
youth to deliver thorn from tholv prison.
The two young people, both, no doubt,
breathless with agitation at tho im
portance of tho ceremony, have to take
one long, fixed look at each other. No
word Is spoken, no sign made. These good
Sluters believe so fully iu tho language of tho
oyo that to Uioir minds any addition is futile,
and might but servo to mystify tho pure and per
fect effect of love at first sight. The look over,
tho Lady Superior asks tho man if ho will accept
tho maiden us his bride. Should ho answer m
the affirmative the same question is put to her,
and If she bows her assent the betrothal has
taken place, and they part till tho Sunday fol
lowing. ,
Tho young lover again makes his appearance
before the tribunal of guardians, and there tho
contract is signed, the day of marriage fixed, and
ho is granted leave to bring tho ring, earrings,
a wedding dross and confiUi , and present them
through tho girl, of course, to his betrothed.
Everything has to pass tho scrutiny of tho Sis
ters, for fear of a letter of some tender word
hoing slipped lu with tho gifts. Luring tho
few Sundays that Intervene between the
first leva scone and the marriage, nu
hour’s conversation within hearing of tho Lady
Superior is allowed, but not a touch is exchang
ed. Tho empty talk, interspersed with giggling,
consists of inquiries os to tho wedding-dross,
tho sort of coufvlli most liked, and tho occupa
tion and place of abode of tho suitor. Should
tho young man refuse the first damsel present
ed to him, he is favored with tho sight of three
more; but, should ho utill appear d\iflvile , ho is
dismissed. Tho girl also hub power of refusal,
The marriage over tho task of (ho sisters is
done, and whether happiness or faithfulness are
tho result of this heathenish rite they never in
quire. Visitors have wondered what induce-
moot ihoro oan bo to malm tbo youths who boro
tbo world to ohooso from come boro In search of
a wife. Two bnmlrod and fifty franca la tbo
{treat attraction. That sum Is Riven in dowry
with each of iboßO girls, and for that sum, it
scorns, a Sicilian is willing to soil himself for
Hfo. Those girls for whom tbo institution fails
to find husbands are allowed at 21 to face
temptations aiono, and situations are found for
them.

“Imagine our disappointment when, at tho
appointed hour for our breakfast, wo arose from
our bard beds and found that tire moisture hi the
atmosphere Indicated rain, storm, etc. Wo wore
not the least mistaken in our conjectures,
since wo wore scarcely engaged in hipping our
coffee when tho bugo drops of rain foil, and, as
it worn, cost a gloom over tho whole scone,
since a rainy, snowy day Is not just what ouo
desires when about to ascend one of tho highest
peaks in the Cascade Hongs. After waiting
several hours, surrounding our camp-fire lu tbo
effort to hoop partially dry, wo fluidly discov
ered signs of dear weather, and at 7o'clock
tbo last shower passed over ns. At fifteen min
utes past 8 o’clock wo si artod out for tho highest
rock to bo found on that venerable old piie of
snow and rock, tho admiration of all visitors
of this Northwestern coast. Wo found our
work quite pleasant for tho first miio or two,
the ascent being very gradual and tbo snow
somewhat Goft, and consequently rendered
our foothold easy. Wo soon found the air
grow lighter, which rendered it somewhat dif
ficult for eome of our party to breathe, Hav
ing ascended about 2 miles, ouo of onr
party found it impossible to go further, and,
having viewed tho eternal heights, ho bade tbo
rest good-bye and returned to camp. From
this point upward our progress was slow,
being more steep and tho suow more crusted.
At every turn our gaze was ouo of admiration
and beauty. As wo looked to tbe east, tho whole
of Eastern Oregon lay mapped out before us.
Mount Jefferson appeared m the distance, with
its garb of white standing out in bold relief
against tbo fields of dark green of tbo fir and
cedar foliago. Tho clouds which but a short
time before; wore above na now began to ap
pear below us, ami as wo continued onr upward
journey wo soon realized that wo wore indeed
above tho clouds. Tho acono was indescribably
grand as wo gazed towards tbo south ; tbo light
featherv-like clouds seemed to bo rolled upon
each other, with an occasional roll or cone
pointing to tbo heavens, and thus tbo scene
varied uutil words failed to describe it. . . .
At this point tbo historiographer closed bia di
ary. No pencil, bo admits,—certainly nono of
Faber's,—could do Justice to’the varying gran
dour of tbo bcodo iliac from this stage onward
mot tbo gnzo of Uio mountaineers. Below them
tbo clouds stretched out liko an unknown aud
bountiful land; above them tbo peak in solitary
magnificonco. The ascent bad. by this time, be
come dangerous enough for a resort to a guld
ing-ropo, and tbo party wont up iu Alpine
foshlou. They reached the crater, after consid
erable exertion, aud gazod into it aud across it;
estimated its diameter at about 109 foot. Sul
phuric fames were uncomfortably perceptible,
and several times the party saw a shimmer
whicu satisfied them that tbo volcanic
signs of the mountain have not entirely
died out. The party wended tbolx way
around the crater, and •in due time
found themselves safely on tbo summit. Hove
they found, in a crovico, a paper containing the
words, " Wo readied this summit at noon on tbo
17tb of August, 18(35, M and with several names

half an hour, unfurled the Stars and Stripes from
tbo loftiest peak, and loft la a tin case, as a me
mento of their visit, tboir names and copies of
the JiiUiclm of Aug. 1, and other papers. As
they woto descending they saw the thunder
storm which that afternoon (Wednesday. Aug. 5)
visited the Willamette Valley, but experienced
none of its effects. Tbo spcctado was startling
iu its grandeur and sublimity. Tbo storm-cloud
was, in a sense, at tboir foot, and tboy saw tbo
