I will now try and give you a few more points in regard to my western trip. I left San Francisco, July 22nd and crossed the bay to Oakland. I left Oak land at 8 o'clock over the Central Pacific -and crossed the bay on the steamer Pied mont, one of the largest transfer steamers in the world. The ride across occupied 25 minutes. It is very hazy over the bay, although the weather is pleasant. It may be the reverse to morrow, as an earthquake is liable to occur at any moment, so change able is the temperature. "While waiting for my train there four trains of eight coaches each out of the depot on one track. Every coach was crowded with passengers tor -Oakland, who do business in San Francisco. July 23.

Arrived at Marrecopa. There are rich copper mines here. This is a very good little village above the average. Arrived at Tucson. This is a good sized town of adobe houses. They have railroad shops and an electric light. The town is not laid off IN ANY REGULAR FORM. Everybody built to suit themselves. Just adjoining the hotel is a beautiful little park of blue grass. Arrived at Benson, Arizona. This is a very good little town, and is the junction of the Seneca railroad. Benson has about 1,500 inhabitants.

From iere a road runs to Sacramento and Valle Jo. Lathrop is only a junction, but it is a splendid location for a city, and I don't see why it would not be a good trading point as it is S4 miles from the city. Ripon is a town 104 miles from San .Francisco. We met three trains here, two of them passenger trains. Modesto is quite a large place. Substan tial hotels, houses, a brewery and such. The country surrounding is magnificent and it is a SPLENDID TRADING POINT. All of these towns have large ware houses. You can see nothing but wheat as far west as the eye can reach. Thou sands upon thousands of acres. The best wheat 1 have seen in the state is m Stains lans county. The ii.jneral resources are excellent. A short time afttr we lerv Lathrop the snow-topped Sierra Nevada's can be seen. T?here is plenty of snow on them yet. I arrived at Merced, m Merced county. The El Capiton is a splendid building. It is depot, hotel, eating house, telegraph office, all combined. It is the best house I Lave seen since leaving the city. The town of Merced is a splendid town 3,000 inhabitants and is the county seat of Alerced county. It has a beautitul court house. The wheat is good and stretches out as far as the eye can see. The trees here ine one loaded with Chinamen did not leave the track. On the summit we pass through a lovely plateau, alter which we come to the MRS. A. W. GREELY.

From Majove to Lang the country is only deserts and hills: some hne cactus loresis, some as high as twenty feet. Near Lang they are building a new road bed, the old one having been washed out last season. I think this is a very poor piece of engineering, for it is built right on the river bed, which, although perfectly dry at present, is liable to become a raving, rag ing torrent at any time in consequence of the frequent cloud bursts. This is a GOD FORSAKEN LOOKING COUNTRY through here. Will be glad when we get a change of scenery if it is only sand.

The THE STREAMS ARE ALiL DRIED np in this part of the country. There is a proposed railroad from Berenda to the Yosemite valley. I think the people down fiere live off the people above. I don't see anything growing down here or any stock either. All this country has to be irrigated or nothing will grow. Artesian wells are the only means of irrigating, or they resort -to great expense to bring the water from the mountains. The foot hills are about twenty-six miles distant We stop at Madera. This is the stage station to the Yosemite valley and big tree district, about ninety miles distant. The country looks better here. At Madera is located a very large plaining mill, with an extensive lumberyard. I see some fine corn here. Madera is a good little town of sbout 300 or 400 people. I see a fine young orchard. We are now in the coun try where coffee can be raised. Madera is building up with good houses, frame. A short distance south I see them construct ing a canal, and boring artesian wells There seem to be a good many Catholics around here. Arrived at Borden,another small station. However, all this part of the country has to be irrigated. See wheat, alfalfa, and more fruit trees, and several fields of sugar cane. It does not grow tall like it does in the East. The average here is six or eight feet. They do not plant it in rows, BUT SOW IT BROADCAST. This is a splendid climate here but is rath er warm in the middle of the day. Just be fore we get to Sycamore we cross the San Joaquin river for the lastj time. It is now only & short distance to the mountains. There are some very high trestle works here.

The following letter was received by Marshal Barnett yesterday from a lady in Danville, III., who is seeking news from her truant husband : Danville, III., July 26. Cliir-f of Folice, Setlalia : .Sir Is there a man in your city an swering to this description? About five feet eight inches in height, sore over right eve, hump backed, thin mustache, dark blue eyes, or nearly hazel. He left here two weeks aeo last Friday, and was heard oi there. He deserted me, his wife, left me momeless and friendless, and in a critical condition. Please search for him as I need him. If it is nothing to make him return please find him and notify me right away, so I can hunt or follow him and you will relieve a broken-hearted woman. Look in all Siiloons and gambling rooms and where there are pool tables. He left with a fel low by the name of Wesley Johns, a little smooth-laced leilow. remaps he may give his name differently. His name is Henry Human, you may ask for Newman. Please do not lay this aside as I am trouo led almost to death. You just search for him nd if you find him please telegraph to me. I will pay for the telegram when delivered. Do this and oblige. Address, Mrs. Dora Human. S10 East Gilbert St., Danville, 111. This appeal undoubtedly came from the bottom of the lady's heart and the marshal will do all in his power toward relieving her of ner anxiety, though what she can want with a man who is so depraved of all sense of honor as to desert her in time of need, is a mvsterv that cannot be solved. Deep and sincere, indeed, must be the love in that woman, who would take unto herself again the man who had cast her adrift upon the charity of thi3 cold, cold world. Occurrences of this kind are quite frequent of late, and below are given the doings of another wretch in human form who left the women he swore to love and cherish to shift for herself : Maggie Gacquet, a rather good looking lady, arrived in the city Monday, and im mediately instituted inquiries about one Chas. Chrisman, whom she said was her husband and had deserted her in St. Loui. Her home was in Jefferson City and there she had been married, removing shortly afterward to St. Louis. Here they lived a comparatively happy hie for some time but grad ually the man began to tire of the com panion whom he had chosen for better or tor worse, and his disfatisfaction finally culminated in his leaving her and coming to this city. He afterward returned to St. Louis and was seen by the lady, but suc ceeded in making his escape before she had a chance to do anything. She came here in quest of him, and wanted to go further, but being out of money and not knowing any one to whom she could appeal for aid.she was compelled to remain in the city. The says she will remain in the city until Monday, and will look for work. Here is a chance for some of the kind-hearted ladies of the city to do an act of kindness. And still another, though on the other side. Mr. James McDonald arrived in the city yesterday morning in quest of his truant wife. He was interviewed by a 13AZOOITE and the toilowmg lacts ascer tained : His wife's maiden name was Minnie Summer?, and she had resided at Pitts burg, Pa. She was quite handsome and of a very pretty build, her parents were quite well on and she was a belle in society. Mr. McDonald had been her father's confiden tial clerk in a hardware store, and it was there he first met the woman who after wards became his wife. In the same store was a young man named Frank Langdon, who was not in the least backward in showing his love for the young lady, and McDonald, himself, says that she "looked upon him with eyes which ulainlv betokened her love for him. Fi nally Langdon got into some trouble was compelled to leave the city. After this the coast was clear for Donald. He began paving his attentions to Miss Summers, and the father encour aged him. Finally they were married and it seemed as though naught but bliss was to be their's. They remained in Pitisburg for about four months and then removed to Kansas, where Mr. McDonald went into the hardware business for himself. For over a year all went well, but the sunshine which had so short a time since reigned su premein that home was suddenly turned to clouds. On the Fourth of July Langdon put in an appearance at McDonald's home. He was there on three different occasions afterward when Mr. McDonald returned home. Finally he forbade him the house and informed his wife that he did not want to find him there any more. At this she became enraged and said she would have what company she wished or she would go where she could have it. jSbthing more was said about the matter and Langdon quit going to the house. Last Sunday he went down town and was gone all day, not returning until late at night. When he arrived his wife was not in, but he supposed she was at some of the neighbor's houses, and laid down on the lounge to wait her coming. Ten o'clock came' and still she -did not come. He then arose, went across the street and inquired if his wife was in the house. He w an informed that J she had gone off in a carritge with her brother early in the evening, and had ta ken her trunk with her saying she was go ing home on a visit. Knowing that she had no brother Mr. McDonald became alarmed, and went to the depot. Here he was informed that the couple had left on the afternoon train and had had the trunk checked to Kansas City. He then went back home to prepare to fol low. To his dismay he found that a suit of clothes were missing and about $200 in money. However, he followed on the night train, but lost all track of them at Kansas City. He came here in hopes that he might learn something of the truant pair. He returned to Kansas City yesterday afternoon, a sad er but wiser man. Mrs. McDonald is described as a woman a little over five feet tall, black hair, dark hazel eyes, full face, and rosv cheeks. Hhe weighs about 115 pounds. When she got into the hack she wore a sky-blue silk dress ano a white hat Lmdon is a man about rive feet, eight inches in height and would weigh about 150 pounds. He has black, curly hair, black eyes and4'a black mustache. Mr. McDonald says he would never live with the woman again but he would like to meet Langdon face to face. If he does there willl probably be trouble as there is "blood on the moon." DIDN'T MAKE IT. A Woman Attempts to Get Away Witn S900, but is Taken In. LEFT THE CITY.

Constable Carnes and Deputy Fiuch yes terday went to the store and secured the stolen property and returned it to the rightful owner. The money was also re turned. It was thought Sunday that the woman intended to go away with some man but the fears were entertained without founda tion, and all is once more serene. In the luture Mr. He.ulen had better be a little careful how he receives stolen goods and especially about denying their where abouts, or he may get himself into trouble for concealing stolen goods.

The Barnum and London Nice Greatest Shows on Earth, in All Their Metropolitan Splendor and Undi vided Vastness. and Mc- The following worthy tribute by a fully as worthy and able man, Major John N. Edwards, of the St. Joseph Gsztte, to two of the Sixth district's noolest sons, will bear oft repeating because of their truth and justice, and because of their souJr breathing earnestness without a shadow of flattery : "The Hon. John Cosgrove has been beat en for re-nomination to congress in the Sixth district, which would have meant a re-election, while the Hon. John T. Heard will go in his stead. It was a pity to have beaten Cosgrove, especially to hve beaten him alter the Kind oi wariare made upon him that was made, none of which, how ever, his successful opponent had any hand in. The democratic party never had a truer friend ; its principles a more absolute and deyoted champion, HE STOOD IN ITS in Central Missouri, aud always by the standard, when it required something else besides the mere exercise of political alle giance. His faith was of the church mili tant, and none went further than he to de mand the right, and none took more chan ces to insist upon and secure it. In con eress he made a representative worthy of Missouri. ALWAYS AT HI3 POST. A tireless worker.

Strong in commit tee and personally popular with the whole house, he was just getting into a a position where he could have largely in creased his capacity for good .and brought to his work a greater and more valuable experience. Hence, we say again, that it was a pity to have beaten him. However, if it had to come, no man bet ter understands the fate of war than John Cosgrove, and no man will accept that fate more calmlj , bravely and uncomplaining ly. This further fact in addition should also console him : if he has had some bit ter and unscrupulous enemies, he has also had some true and unshaken friends. As to the man who is to be his succes sor, it is FORTUNATE FOR THE DISTRICT that that man is John T. Heard. Other good men were also in the race against j Cosgrove, some of them of considerable experience in matters of legislation, but Heard will par excellence, make a val uable congressman. He has the energy of a steam engine to begin with. He is as capable as anybody. It is not necessary that he should be an orator, because the man who does the Z most at Washington City, and succeeds the best in results, never speaks ONLY "WHEN IT 13 ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, and then as briefly as possible. He has already a large acquaintance at the na tional capital, and as much public experi ence as usually falls to the lot of one who is no older and who has been engaged in many active pursuits other than politics.
