8 PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT. The Duluth, Red Wing & Southern Will Be Built. REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS. Tie Plan Outlined at a Meeting at Duluth Last Night—Other i Duluth News. Special to the Globe. D-IATTH, Minn., Feb. 9.— President F. W. Hoyt. Vice President O. S. Powell and Directors S. B. Foot and Gov. '/'Hubbard, all of the Duluth, Bed Wing _ Southern, arrived in Du luth this morning to consult with Du luth business men regarding the road. They are enthusiastic in their hopes (or the road, ami these hopes are in no way lessened by the reports made by the en gineering corps that has been at work on the late. They believe the road can be built, and built cheaply, and | that it will prove a profitable investment from the start. At a meet ing held iii the chamber of commerce this afternoon, Mr. Foote outlined the plan for the formation of the construc tion company to build the road, which appeared entirely Feasible and practical. Citizens of Red Wing have subscribed 150,000 toward lite company, and have offered more, while bonuses and grants have been made from different towns and cities to be reached by the road of about $.00,000. I'll!.- amount includes that pledged by the Sioux City & North western, which has agreed to consoli date with the Bed Wing & Southern for the extension of the line into Southern lowa. Surveys have been almost com pleted from River Kalis, 150 miles south of Duluth, through Bed Wing to the southern line of Minnesota, while Vice President Powell has just stopped work at a point sixty miles south of Duluth, on the line from River falls to this city. Interviewed this afternoon regarding the line, Powell said: "From River Falls the line runs direct i north twenty miles to New Richmond, thence five miles to Star Prairie, where there is better water power than at Taylor's Falls on the St. Croix, thence up the Apple river northeast seven miles to the west end of Balsam lake, fifteen miles 00 to Button lake six miles and to a crossing on the Clam river close to Chase dam below ('lam lake, and eight een miles directly west of Superior Junction on the Omaha road. The line was stopped just sixty miles south and six miles west of Dii luth. The entire tine is almost an air line, and 1 expect we can make it so clear through. There is no grade above forty feet to the mile, though we first started out with expectation of a 52.. feet grade. There is not a curve on the line exceeding four dec. and but few of them. We found fine farming coun try well timbered with hard woods, and the water power at Star Prairie is not excelled for availability and value by any in the West. The line as far as we have gone can be built For considerably less than . 10.000 per mile." At a meet ing this afternoon much interest was manifested, and prospects of the Du luth, Red Wing & Southern are indeed bright. GEORGE W. CI-AKK DEAD.

There lived in Soeo, Me., many years ago, a man named Jerry Coidridge, who had an unearthly long nose. This ex tended proboscis troubled him so much that he made a vow that when he met a man who had a longer one he would present him with a silver half-dollar, with the proviso that the man who got the half-dollar was to do likewise when he came across a man who was superior in this line to himself, says the New York Press. When Jerry appeared in public he was greeted with all kinds of compli ments upon the size of his nose, and it got to be a common thing for him to be saluted with, "Hello, Jerry; how's your forehead?" or, "Well, pump handle, how do you wag to-day?" and kindred remarks. When the cold north wind came down from among the Maine lakes it took particular delight in crossing the end of Jerry's proboscis, painting it a gar net red and making it tingle like a carpenters thumb hit with a hammer. Jerry's friends advised him to have a fur muff made to carry his horn in, am! told him that he should take service with the government as a fog signal. One day Jerry went to Portland, and when he returned he was greeted with "Old plow-share, what have you turned up to-day?" "Well," said Jerry, quivering with excitement and joy, "1 have seen a man in Portland who had a longer nose than 1 have." "Impossible," said his friends; "there isn't such another nose on the face of the earth." "All right," said Jerry. "If you don't believe me I will exhibit the document to prove it." At this he produced a re ceipt which read : ■ v. -. ." ';'.'• •• Received from Jeremiah Coidridge 50 cents in consideration of. having _ longer nose than helms. ,Uhks llali.ard. "That half-dollar." said Jerry, "has gone to Smyrna on a merchantman, and I'll tell you how it happened: .1 went to a hotel to get my dinner, and as 1 sat down at the table 1 saw a man sitting opposite me who gazed at me with what 1 took to be an insolent stare. When 1 got a good look at him 1 forgot my de formity, anil immediately reached my hand across the table and said: • "Shake, neighbor, 1 believe 1 owe you 50 cents." '•• ';"/• r*. ".'■ '. ■-- -;,-. " 'How's that?' " says lie. " 'Well,' " says I, _ made a vow that if I ever met a man who had a longer nose than 1 have 1 would give him a half-dollar, provided he would-flo the same when he met a man whose nose discounted his.' At once the- whole, dining room was in an uproar of laughter, and the stranger said: 'It's abargain. s Pulling out his note book lie wrote the receipt and 1 gave him a half dollar. -I after ward learned he was a captain of a packet ship outward bound for Smyrna, Syria." . ; :. After this Jerry had peace about his long nose, and the silver half dollar was taken by Capt. Ballard to Smyrna. There it was turned over to an English . mate of an East India-tan bound through the Suez canal to Madras. The Englishman carried it for several years, and finally landed in San Francisco, where he, having a hard streak of luck, enlisted in the United States regular army, and went up among the Black feet Indians, near Fort Benton, where he was made a prisoner. After being tortured in every con ceivable way by the Indians, they cut off his nose and set him at liberty. He finally drifted to Boston, and as he was walking one day on Washington street who should he meet but Jerry. Having heard from ("apt. Ballard how he came in possession of the silver: piece, he recognized Jerry. "Hello said he, "is your name "Jerry Cold ridge?" "That's my name," said Jerry.. "I am happy to meet you," said the Englishman, "Allow me .to return to you the half-dollar you loaned. Capt. James Ballard five years ago. I carried it around the world with me, and never found a man with a nose as long as mine was, but 1 have, as you see, lost mine now, and 1 think the clinker be longs to you." -.'.-.,". .-/,,. Jerry and the English mate became fast friends and went into business to gether, and when you go into a little store on Dock square in Boston you will see the funny spectacle of one' of the partners with a nose as long as your hand and the other partner with no hose at all. ".• C. ' .';";-. V" . «_»_ HER JAW CLICKED MERRILY. Miss Dunn Couldn't Laugh, Eat or Talk Without Hearing Her Jaw Click. : .j:7;.^- : -. A peculiar case came before Judge O'Gorman in the superior court yester day morning. Margaret Dunn, a very pretty brunette, twenty-three years old, sued Ferdinand Hasbroiick, a Broadway dentist, for -5,000 damages. The facts were these, says the New York World: On the 18th of November, I*B., Miss Dunn was suffering from a severe tooth ache. She went toDr Hasbrouck'. office and had the two first molars in her upper jaw drawn by one of the assist ants. She went home and lived on a • diet of tea and milk for several days. After the swelling bad subsided she began to eat, solid food. To her alarm she found that when she went to chew her jaw clicked merrily. She laughed, and her laugh died away as the click grew louder. The clicking operation was accompanied by intense pain, and at times compelled her to stay iv bed. Hence the suit for damages. At the trial yesterday the foregoing was practically Miss Dunn's testimony. The defendant testified that Miss Dunn had come to his office and had two teeth extracted. This was two years ago. He did not see her again until May of last year, when she came and said she suf fering intense pain. He j made an, ex amination, but found apparently no trouble. The clicking might: exist, he said, but it was probably caused by yawn ing, laughing or biting some hard sub stance. It was probably: the latter, as according to Miss Dunn's testimony she was not troubled with the clicking until she had eaten something in a. down- ■ town restaurant. This part of the tes timony excited a general smile. . Then Dr. Frank Abbott, one of the de fendant's witnesses, went up ; to .Miss Dunn and requested her to open -her mouth. She did so, and after looking into the pink cavern he asked her to work her jaw. Click, click, went the eccentric joint, and Dr. Abbott acknowl edged he heard the mysterious sound. The jury solemnly gazed at the pretty mouth and then gravely whispered, to each other. " ".", .. Next Dr. Edgar T. Weed.a fine-looking young man with a silky bcard.explalned that the mysterious noise was caused by the stretching of the ligaments of the jaw. He : said that every, lime Miss: Dunn would laugh at a joke" or try to masticate a beefsteak/ the iaw- would click, thereby causing much" iiicouveu THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10. 1888. iencetothe owner.' It never could be cured, but must click on forever. " This seemed to impress the • jury, and' they were so silent that win- a a juror ; asked Miss Dunn some questions they easily heard that fatal click. ■ It looked like a verdict for the fair complainant, but ponderous medical' works were brought out by the defend ant's lawyers, and passages were read showing that people could easily get a clicking jaw from numerous causes be- . sides having molars extracted. Then, it was averred, it would be a dreadful precedent should a verdict be found for the plaintiff, for everybody who sat in ( a dentist's chair might chum they had a clicking jaw and get big damages. Then the judge explained the difference be tween "click" and "clack," and the jury filed out to consider the case. ...;,.. An hour passed and they did not re turn. The hands of the clock had trav eled the circuit of the hour several times before they did come in. They had considered the case, and their dec.-, sion was against the girl with the clicking jaw, Dentist Hasbrouck smiled as the verdict was given; -- ... .'■.,•• Miss Dunn is the housekeeper at the Hotel Winthrop, on Sixth avenue, and would not talk last evening about the trial. It is claimed that the night air is very bad for her peculiar malady. Dr. Weed says that the disease is incura ble, and is a serious drawback to Miss Dunn. :^,~, THE DUDE'S DELIGHT. •: The Costumer Tells Some Tales Out of School About Tights. \ "Tights are among the chief goods we sell," said a stage costumer recently to a reporter for the New York Mail and Express. "They are used in almost every show in the country, and the demand for them just now is very large." "Do they wear out easily?" "That depends entirely on the show the wearer is acting in. Circus riders buy the most. The rosin on the horse's hack causes them to wear out quickly. Then the wearer's perspiring makes it necessary to have them washed every time they are used. A bare back circus rider will wear out two pairs of tights a week. They cost from $2 a pair to any price the purchaser wishes to give. The average price paid by circus-riders is 80 a pair. They are plain woven tights but are very strong. There are innum erable varieties in material, in styles, in colors and still more in fits. The cheapest varieties are made of cotton. These are made in all colors, flesh, white, black, unbleached, chocolate and brown. Then there are fine cotton tights, worsted tights, Lisle thread tights, French cotton tights and silk tights." "Do you sell them ready-made or make them to order?" "The best qualities are all made up to measure. We have the make-up or model of a number of actors and act resses, and can make them as often as they are wanted." "What do you mean by the make-up?" "You don't suppose those people have the goods made to fit their true forms, do you? Not more than one-fifth or them have their tight-fitting clothes made without padding. How would a premier danseuse look posing before her audience if her costume were not made to give her a soft, rounded ap pearance? We make padded skirts, padded hips, padded arms, padded in steps, padded thighs, padded legs, and, in fact, padded everything. The pads are made of fine lamb's wool. When a large ballet is being organized we have to go into the padding business very ex tensively. Some of the prettiest girls are slightly knock-kneed or bow-legged. We have to straighten them out and produce the fine, Venus-like-looking forms that you see on the stage. We have artists who make a specialty of this, and in some particular cases they make a model of the actress, perfect the model and then make the goods up," ' •«■» The Fashions. New York World. Very many of the newest tailor gowns show two colors of the' same cloth,, the. darker, strange to say, forming the ac cessories—collars, cuffs, and so on, and the brighter the body of the gown. The dancing gown grows shorter, rather than longer, as the season ad vances, and there is more and more ten dency to make it full and undraped in the skirt, low or V-shaped in the neck and sleeveless. Debutantes, however, and brides wear their gowns high or half-high in the neck, with half or three quarter length sleeves, and debutantes, like brides, wear white, cream and ivory-tinted fabrics. :.';." There is an effort being made to re turn to satin for evening wear. When it is rich nothing is so handsome, but its vulgarization a year or two since by cheap qualities made it fall into dis favor. Now, however, it is seen oc casionally at the Metropolitan Opera House and at big receptions. At the former place the other night a pretty, clear-skinned brunette was dressed in a heavy ivory-colored satin made with a plain skirt hanging In full folds, full rich draperies openiug in front, and a long-pointed decollete bodice. The only trimming was gold embroidery down the front of the bodice. A charming bath gown is made from a shawl, a large double shawl of very soft wool, a deep, dull red, with stripes bluish gray. The fringes of the shawl are left on all around, and it is made in" princess shape, lined throughout with thin red silk. Another is of pale violet color.than which nothing is more becom ing to a blonde skin. They are loose from the throat, the fringed edges turn ing back upon themselves, and are fast ened hastily upon leaviug the bath with cord and tassel, which tie them at throat and waist, and are the handiest of all fastenings that are meant to be used in a hurry. There are bath gowns made of Turk ish toweling that are much cheaper and do not need to be lined. They come in all sorts of deep, rich shades, and are made full and loose, with a wide hem at the bottom, flowing sleeves and cot ton cords and tassels of the same shade. There are many of them decorated with a hood. A charming one is of soft, dull blue, having a pointed hood in the back, finished with a big tassel of blue and gray cotton, the cords at neck and waist being twisted of blue and gray. .... Bismarck's Narrow Escape. London Figaro. . '• . According to private correspondence from Berlin, Prince Bismarck has been considerably troubled of late by the effect of the bullet wound he received so many years ago from the revolver. of a would-be assassin. Many people have forgotten even the circumstance that the great German chancellor was so mur. derously attacked by the youth Blind but, as a matter of fact, five shots were discharged at him, and it was simply owing to the sturdy way in which he grasped his assailant's arm that only one of them took effect. This bullet glanced off one of the chancellor's lower ribs and a bony excresence which- , developed in consequence, still marks the place. As it turned out, too, Bis marck's risk was by no means at an end, when he grappled with and seized his assailant. A military guard hurried up on hearing the chancellor's shouts, and the impulse of the foremost of these; stalwart Prussian grenadiers on seeing a comparatively feeble stripling being held and seemingly maltreated by a ponderous man with. a bald head— for Bismarck's hat had fallen off- was to club his rifle and bring it down on the latter's bare pate. Luckily for Ger many, however, the chancellor warded off his impending fate by shouting out: "Hold on; lam Bismarck !" on which; as the latter himself tells the story, the soldier dropped his weapon in a much greater fright than that of his escaped victim. •:-/:"," jf:/'"" : -':. ■-:•'•■■■ Sam Jones With a Sombrero.

It was this negress who told Mrs. Swan son her internal - organs were infested with serpents, which had been placed there by an enemy as a curse. Jennie Swanson, a bright little girl of perhaps fourteen years, who makes $6 a week sewing in a tailor shop, told a Tri bune reporter the story of her mother's affliction. She said: "Eight years ago mother was prostrated with sunstroke and since then she -has had a severe headache. She ' tried all the doctors about here and nothing helped her. Then we were recommended to Mrs. Stewart, and mother and 1 went down there. We went into the front room and sat down. : After talking to us awhile Mrs". Stewart put her hands to her forehead and presently said: 'You are infest, d with a snake. "it was placed there as a curse upon you by your hus band, with whom you are not iiving.

They . could not go out of doors in the daytime ex cept in their carriages and accompanied by a parent or guardian. And when they went shopping the clerks attended them in their carriages, the ladies send ing for what they wanted to look at and the clerks staggering out under great burdens of goods. You can imagine that shopping there is neither a passion nor a vice, as it is said to be in Paris. Isn't it in Paris that ' the women are so fond of it? So, after tho morning was spent at housework aid a veiled visit to church, the Cuban ladies dressed to 101 lin the windows, and their sweethearts crept along close to the walls and chatted with them, if no old woman was by to pi event -them, and if they had pro ceeded so far in their love making as to be able to converse with their hearts delights. Before they could do that they had to walk along the streets ever so many times, past their sweethearts' windows, waiting to be noticed and flirted with. then came a long period of ogling and the exchanging of swift glances and peeping behind fans and waving of handkerchiefs— all extremely silly in the eyes of American girls. One day I was making my wav through a dismal piece of woodland in Canada on the outskirts of Montreal. B-r-r-r ! how cold it was, and how the snow lay piled up all over the country! Suddenly 1 heard merry voices and the crackling of twigs and rustling of brush. Just as suddenly the figure of a young .man m the uniform of the Tuque Bleue Snowshoe club appeared, ascending a knoll. Three girls were at his heels, followed by other -young men and women. There was a new -view of the possibilities of womanhood. Our Yankee girls, best of ail in the best of the sexes, have liberty enough, but how few use it to place themselves side.' by side with the men in their athletic sports J How ruddy and bright eyed and wholesome were these Can adian maidens! How superbly they were framed and how overflowing with animal spirits they were! Afterward I saw them skating for hours and cover ing miles of ice hand in-hand with their brothers (and the brothers of other folks), and at tobogganing, driving, and all the other sports that interested them, they were almost if not quite the equals of the men. When it came to dancing, as I was informed, the merry ones am<^ng them took a delight in lifting the young gentlemen from • the States off their feet, once in a while, and swing ing around.- with them as a New York girl might do with a child— if it was small enough. tvi Far over on the Pacific coast of the same country, and on Vancouver island, I found another race of women— squaws of some tribes allied to the Esquimaux. They were so ignorant and homely; and' belonged to such a' rude order of civil ization, that I could scarcely expect to interest any young lady readers in them. But they possessed an interest for the married ladies, and -'might even arouse envy in the breasts of some fair matrons, for their customs allow each wife to have an "assistant husband." Better yet, their husbands do not select their own assistants; this « is left to the fair, ladies them selves. These assistant husbands have to do what the New England folks call "chores" for the - women, get kin dling wood, run of errands and make themselves useful in all menial ways. Their only reward and recompense is that if the. real husband dies In any case, or disappears, or goes away for aii unconscionable length of time, they marry the women for whom' they have been working. On the plains in Assiniboia I found a little lady in the larger of the only, two stores in the place who told me that the Indians on a reservation close by had begun to grow restless, and were mani festing the fact by unusual insolence. Only the day before a dozen of the braves had' come . into the store, when she . was stark alone in it, and had demanded whisky, a com modity they were not allowed to touch and no one was permitted to sell. She told them she had none, and they sat, as Indians will, for a long time, as if to show her they -would not go away until they got it. Curiosly enough no one came to the store from the . settlement. By and by the Indians proposed to search for the whisky. She laughed at them and told them they could search. They did so, peeping and poking every where that they could think of.. When they offered to go up stairs to her living apartment she stood in the doorway and . told: them they must not venture there. She flattened her back agaiust the door and defied them. She was less than the ordinary height, and did not weigh oyer one Hundred pounds, but she quailed them with the eye of a brave and determined woman, and when, pres ently, some white men came to make some purchases, the Indians took them selves off. Only a few nights before this this same wiiman had seen a wolf in her back yard, find had gone out and "shooed" it awiy with her apron and her scolding, just 'as one of our girls might do to a cat. I never saw a man that I thought more plucky than she. Perhaps, though, what no Indian or wolf could do might be done by a mouse. But it is beyond all reason to expect the bravest not to fear a mouse. In our Southern states one gets still another view of woman. I went through the Virginia mountains* and learned that south of Mason and Dix on's line every white woman is a queen, idolized by brothers, husbands, sons ami fathers; respected as if sainted by her neighbors. When a poor old woman entered a railroad depot that -was crowded with men at a time when it was not expected that any woman would be traveling, every man" in that assem blage rose to his feet in order that she might select what scat she wished, and those men who were smoking went out and' stood in the rain rather than chance to offend her. One of the men who did this was Fitz Hugh Lee, now governor of the state. That was only one illus tration of a chlvalric deference toward women everywhere observable and every where reflecting : honor on t'.e men who maintained it. I ■ m :'i' ~. : The Garfields Abroad.

It slopes up gradually on the south, west and north sides, and the top is sur mounted by a cone-shaped pile of rocks. The cone on the east side has the ap pearance of having been cut in two, and its perpendicular face starts almost out of the valley. It is many hundred feet from the foot to the top of the face of this wall of granite, the surface of which is broken here and there by sharp-pointed crags. Perched on the top and pointing over the precipice is a huge flat-top boulder that seems to threaten the traveler who passes at the foot of the mountain. Several years ago, while journeying in that section, I made the ascent of the natural monument, having for my guide a half-breed Mexican. On the top of the cliff my eye fell on a small peculiar flower that bloomed from a cleft in the rocks . It was a tiny white flower, with a crimson center shaped like a heart— only sign of vegetation that could be seen there. I reached out my hand to pluck one of them to examine it, as it was a curiosity to me, when the half-breed sprang to ward me and exclaimed excitedly in Spanish: "Do not touch it! Do not pull it! It is bad luck. Don't you know? But, no, you don't. You would rather put your hand on a fiery coal than touch the drop of blood from the heart of the holy father. No, you do not know the story." ;:_:•; "Indeed I do not," 1 replied. "Tell it to me." And far up there he told me in his quaint way the tradition of Chorro mountain and the little white floweret with its heart of crimson. "it was Father Juniporo Serra, rest to his soul, who founded the mission of San Louis Obispo. After leaving a small handful of soldiers to protect the church and the padres, the good man went his way and the mission pros pered. "At last came another band of mis sionaries from the City . of Mexico, and with them more soldiers. These went to work with great zeal to make more converts among the peaceable Indians, and soon many were set to work and taught to till the land. They missed the liberty that they had been used . to, and ere long there was a revolt, which resulted in great bloodshed and almost in the destruction of Mission San Louis Obispo. "The leading spirit among the discon tented was one named at his baptism Pedro. He was darker in color, heavier built and more vicious than any other man in the colony. His sharp bone dag ger had more than once been sheathed in human flesh, and, while the discon tented Indians recognized him as their leader,they also feared him as a reptile. "Padre Francis was one of the most sincere and zealous of those who faced -the dangers of the deep to come from Spain, and the hardships and perils of a journey on foot through an unexplored region to reach his field of labor. "This man of God was well beloved by most of the mission Indians because of his goodness of heart and his kind, gentle ways. Pedro saw in him his greatest enemy, as too many loved the good man to suit his purposes, and he i resolved that Padre Francis must die before a revolt could be successful, j "Padre Francis often took long pil grimages into the country, and many said that he was in search of yellow gold and shining silver,' which even to this day are believed to be hid in these great - mountains. One day the good ! padre went forth. -•*-.• : •'" • "Pedro left the mission by stealth soon after, and did not come back till late in the day. Padre Francis did not come back, and inquiry was made by the other fathers, and the captain of the soldiers among the Indians'. At last they found Pedro and learned of his absence and late return, and they found blood on his hand and on his breech cloth. \ " 'How came it there?' they asked. " '1 killed a deer," answered Pedro, sullenly. ;• " 'Where is the skin and meat? His arrow-heads will be red with blood bring them,' said the captain. "No fresh blood mark was on the ar rowheads, and Pedro was put in the dungeon till the morn. ■;■"■,: "At the first break of day a body of soldiers took Pedro and three friendly Indian trailers and followed the accused man's tracks. They . led to this very mountain, and Pedro became greatly agitated and had to be dragged along. Up the tracks led. They find more foot prints, and see they were made by the sandled feet of a priest. They, too, led up over boulders, through brush, but ever up and to the top of the moun tain. ; "At last they reach the top and look around. What is it they see? Hush! It is Padre Francis at prayer alone on the mountain, as near as mortal man can get to heaven. He kneels beside the huge boulder, his hands clasped be fore him, his head resting on the cold, hard rock. Do not disturb his holy meditation and supplications, as his spirit reaches up to the Father of all. "But how still he is! No movement is detected. by the searchers, who stand with uncovered heads. . *r.v_: . "The captain .- approaches reveren tially, but apprehensive. What! dead? No, no, do not say so! Yes, dead, and as cold as the rock against which he kneels. ' '.'■-"■ •'-.".-'..:■:■ --"What is this blood? And this? It is a knife, bone dagger, red with the heart blood of the priest. Oil, horror! He has been murdered. "The Indian Pedro stands trembling like a leaf, and as his eye falls on his bloody bone dagger, he tears himself loose from his captors and springs for ward to secure the murderous weapon. He reaches out his hand, but recoils with a cry of terror. The poisonous fangs of a rattlesnake that lies quiet and blind, as they all do in the fall, have pierced his flesh. He bounds backward a step. His foot strikes on a rolling rock, and with a shriek he goes over the dizzy precipice. Wildly grasp ing at the empty air as he goes down, down; down; bounding from crag to ledge, 6till he falls. - "Look! Is the murderer a shapeless mass at the foot of the rocks? No; he strikes on a ledge and is held there by a pointed crag half way down the cliff. And seethe mangled body is lying close beside the vultures', next. Thus God avenges the death of ills minister. He has fed the murderer's carcass to the vultures. Tenderly the body of the dead padre is taken back to the mission and buried in the garden. "Benor, If you will take this rope and go to the edge of the cliff yon can see the skeleton of Pedro still on the ledge, where his white bones have lain these many years." I aid as directed, and saw what ap peared to be the bones of a human body, but on bringing mv field-glass to bear upon the place 1 saw that it was the outcropping of a stratum of light col ored granite close by the vultures' nest. "But the little white flower with the red heart, what of It?" I asked. .'Twill tell. .Padre Francis was be loved dearly by .■ many of the simple. . mission Indians, and when peace was restored, they often made -pilgrimages to this very spot to pray for the repose of the good man's sou). They found here in the fall of the "year tins flower growing from- the very rock whereon the priest's heart's blood fell. It does not grow on any other mountain, but blooms here year . after, and always in the late summer and early fall. Sev eral have tried to plant it in other soils, but it will not grow, and he who tries to make the emblem of the heart blood of the priest bloom simply to please the eye always has bad . luck. Senor, you know the history of the flower and the legend of the mountain." A HUMAN SALAMANDER. Nathan Colter, of the Eastern Shore, and His Wonderful Skill. . The Tuckahoe Neck monstrosity is in many respects a devil incarnate, but is harmless and inoffensive, ln "mighty stature," in color and general make-up, he marks up to the ideal of his satanic majesty, being six feet tall, as black as the hinges of hades, a giant in strength, and endowed with such sal amandrine qualities that he can endure fire unharmed, and with little incon venience. None of the thousands who marveled at his unnatural powers ten or twenty years ago will say that the above is in the least an overdrawn picture of Nathan Coker, whose lire-eating exploits were the wonder of this peninsula two generations past. Nathan is now 84 years old, having long since quit the business of fire-eating, from the profits of which he saved a fortune of $1,000. He works only when he feels like it, though he is still in robust health. He occupies a small cabin in Tuckahoe Neck, about three miles below Denton, and a more inoffensive and kindlier old colored man is not to be found any where, says the Baltimore American. It was in Denton, where Nathan once lived, that he first discovered himself to be fire-proof. In his youth he was a ser vant in the house of Lawyer Purnell. Being in the kitchen a great deal, his inclination was to taste some of all the choicest dishes when the housekeeper's eye was turned, and one day he dipped his hand into a boiling pot to catch a dumpling. He got the morsel and rel ished it so much that he grabbed for an other and found that his hand was not hurt in the least. This pilfering process went on for some time, with no injury to the hand. The first public exhibition that Nathan made of himself took place in the bar-room of the local hotel, when he took five coals from the stove and held them in the palm till they had ex pired. Then followed on different oc casions, other more trying feats of en durance, such as whetting a hot poker on his hands, or licking it with his tongue and holding it in his mouth, walking barefooted among live coals and on hot tires. At the trial of Fred Lawrence in Denton, early in the seven ties, after an adjourned sesson of court, Nathan greatly amused the the Judges and many spectators by his exploits, and at the hanging of Lawrence in Easton he was present and gave an exhibition which netted him 187. On this occasion he repeatedly took a mouthful of molten lead with no injury. Hundreds of col ored men were present. Great was their consternation when they witnessed the performance. On all occasions Na than turned his supernatural powers to profitable account. He would "eat fire" at any time, but never without hearing the jingle of money. Judge Stump once gave Nathan *5 tor whetting a red-hot poker on his hand. At the zenith of his fire-eating car eer Nathan made an engagement with the manager of the Front Street Thea ter, Baltimore, that greatly widened his reputation. He played "the devil" there for three weeks to crowded houses, being the sensation of the day. Then' followed an engagement of eight nights at Douglas Institute. At both places he , would go through the role of the evil one with so much reality that many in the Monumental City were turned from the ways of the wicked and brought to repentance. ! Nathan never used prep arations to protect himself from injury, as some people might suppose. Hot lead was taken into his mouth and live coals. into ; his hands," and he would stand barefooted upon a red-hot stove with no injurious results. His mouth was never known to be wadded with asbestos, nor were his feet or hands in cased with such : protection. The hu man phenomenon was never by any one here explained. IN PEKIN'S STREETS. Fatima .the Camel Has an En counter With Some Tea-Bearers. We turned suddenly into a narrow sort of alley, repulsive beyond descrip tion, and here Fatima drew back, sniff ing prophetically. I urged her a little, and she went forward, but presently I saw that we had to meet a long line of camels, heavily laden with crates of tea, each about the size and shape of the "pressed hay" so common in America, writes Olive Risley Seward. I could not imagine how we could pass them," and yet I feared to turn about, even had there been space enough, which wa3 doubtful. Fatima sprang close to the wall, drawing her little hoofs and slender legs under her. I followed her example and leaned against the dingy adobe mass, while the long line filed their tea-crates past us, swaying their heads aud long matted manes from side to side and grazing against us as they went. Each one eyed us with a malicious glance from their small, evil-looking eyes which suggested a longing to strike out a ferocious blow from one of those powerful, noiseless feet. But their glances were met by looks of scorn and defiance on the part of Fatima, mingled perhaps with a little fear, for she 'evi dently knew our danger. With her body fairly flattened against the wall— and yet not pressing me harshly— she laid her small ears, which were never quiet, close back and turned her head toward the camels. .. ■: Her nostrils dilated and reddened and her lips parted, and the line squarely set teeth showed between, while her enormous vigilant eyes were - fixed on the camels and flashed an "at your peril" look at each one as the intermin able train slowly wended its uncouth way past. us, leaving us both quivering together as one poor aspen leat in the autumn wind. : - -'-.:..■ ■/7~:7' ♦ '.' ,"" '..
