you may lose the savings of years. Delays are
dangerous, and life uncertain; therefore, Insure to

laugh' we ad at such a ludicrous
sight; but the blacks seemed to think
themselves great swells, and strutted
about, giving themselves all sorts of
absurd, conceited airs.
This quiet life was destined not to
last much longer, and was to be in
terrupted by a tragedy so horrible as
to be almost beyond belief.
One of oar neighbors, a hot-tem
pered, violent man, when riding af
ter some cattle, came on a party of
blacks who were busily engaged in
gorging themselves on one of his bul
locks, which they had speared; and
in his anger, hastily, and wi thout
considering the probable come uenc
ayl
es, drew his revolver and she one of
them dead. For some d after
this not a black was to be seen, and
we began to think they had fled in a
fright. I, for one, felt rather sorry—
as they were sometimes very useful
in cutting bark for roofing huts, and
in tracking stray sheep and cattle—
and regretted that they should be
driven from thelr natural home by
such a thoughtless act of violence.
Ten days after this took place, I
had to go to a muster of cattle at u
station thirty miles from mine, and
could not possibly return before the
next day. My wife, for some unex
plained reaaon, seemed loath to part
,with me, and even tried to persuade
me to stay; but as I had lost some
cattle, and hoped to find them
among my neighbor's mob, I was
anxious to go, and only laughed at
her. Accordingly, I departed; but
after riding about a inile, an unac
countable fear took possession of me.
and, unable to resistit, I turned my
horse's head and galloped back.
When I gotto the house, my fears
appeared so ridiculous and ground
less that I made an excuse of having
forgotten some trifling article, and
after again kissing my wife and Oar-,
ling little May, I once more took my
departure. Again the same feeling
of despondence—a presentiment of
some unspeakable horror—came
over me, and I nearly turned back,
resolved to give up the journey, al
together. Would to God 1 had done
so ! Better far to have died then,
happy, and guiltless, than to have
lived to become the wicked, misera
ble, sinful wretch that I now am,
cast awfy and lost in this world.
Not before I reached the station
where I was going did I recover my
usual spirits; then. in the excitement
of drafting and branding cattle,l
forgot my fears, or only remembred
them to wonder at my weakness in
giving way to such idle fancies.
Next day I returned home, taking
with me a small mob of cattle which
had strayed from my run and Joined
my neighbor's herd. These I joined
with the first mob of my own I
found, and burrled onward, anxious
to reach my house.
Again all any former forebodings
returned, and with greater force than
before. I could not, reason as I
would with myself, divest my mind
of the idea that some great misfor
tune was about to fall on me—that
seine horrible catastrophe was about
ea be revealed. I kept fancying 1
card my wife and my child's voices
rnging in my ears, calling upon me
i wailing tones to return.
It l\
Galloping forward pt reckless
speed, my excitement inereased ps I
neared the station, until the throb
bing of the pulses in my head and
the violent , beating of my heart be
came painfullyintense. In front of
the station-house was a low hill. and
when I reached the top of this, I
saw, in the valley below me, the
house, seemingly a.; I had left it the
day before. The evening sun, shin
ing brightly on it, cast long shadows,
and the house and all about it looked
so quiet, peaceful,• and , undisturbed
that my fears were at once allayed,
and, uttering a prayer of thankful
ness to Heaven, I reined my smo- ,
king horse into a walk; and rode '
slowly forward, allowing him to cool
after his wild gallop, before turn
ing him into the paddock for the
night.
As I neared the door, no dogs as
usual rushed out to meet me, no
sign of life was visible; and it was

Many thoughts of revenge suggested

I was there,' sold my station, alleging
as a reason my repugnance to living
on the spot,where such misfortunes
had occurred to me, and where I
was constantly being reminded of
them.
It was long ere the blacks took
courage to come back to their old
quarters; but by degrees they did so,
and began to settle down to their old
life, living on 'possum, kangaroo
rats, yams, and, when not likely to
be discovered, stealing a sheep or
calf, and doing little odd jobs for the
settlers in =order to obtain a little
flour, or—what they valued still
more—sugar and tobacco.
Now was the time for me to com
mence operations; and, feverish with
excitement, . I prepared for indulging
the worst. and most devilish passion
man is prey to. First, I bought a
dray and a team of bullocks,and load
ed the dray lightly with stores, con
sisting chiefly of flour; but among
the bags was one small one of sugar.
I next went to various druggists'
shops, and ~bought a large quantity
of strychnine, representing that I
wanted it to poison "dingoes" with.
This I mixed with the sugar. Can
you guess what I meant to do? Are
you not afraid to sit here with such a
black-hearted villain? Oh ! I was
mad—wild 'with grief, drunk with
auger, lost to every feeling but an
Insatiable longing, an eager, hungry
craving forrevenge; forsaking all to
obtain it—freely giving up all hope
of peace here and hereafter for its
sake.
I felt almost happy when I started
off up country, in the direction of
my old station; it was the first real
beginning Of the territlle end, and I
thought when all wa4 completed I
should be able to rest in peace. Af
ter days of= tedious travel I reached
a small open space on the run, sur
ounded by dense forrest and thick
-x gCrub. Hero I determined to halt,
and make =the scene of my brutal
Wickedness.
It was a favorite resort of the
blacks, or had been, owing to there
being a large water-hole in the creek,
which was always well stocked with
fish; and I felt certain I would not,
have to wait long before they came.
Unyoking my bullocks, I allowed
them to stray wherever they liked,
never intending to use theta again.
I then fodud a spot in the scrub
where I should be well hidden from
view, but front which I could com
mand a clear sight of the little open
space in front, and here I took tip
my quarters, anxiously waiting .for
signs of the blacks. Nor had I long
to wait; for that very evening a
small party of them mute, and, see
ing the dray with no one looking af
ter it., drew nea.--- nd examined it.
Evidently : they feared to meddle
with it—thinking, no doubt, that the
owner was not far distant—for they
went away without touching any
thing. This, from what, I knew of
1 the timidity of their natures, was
exactly what I expected. Soon after'
daylight next morning I saw a large
party of them come out of the forest
and march straight up to the dray.
This time they were all armed with
spears, waddles, and bomerangs, and
were daubed all over their bodies and
faces with .red ochre, looking more
hideous than even nature made them;
and—no doubt wishing to strike ter
ror into the owner of the dray,
should he happen to be there, by
their fierce looks and savage gestic
ulations—rushed forward toward
the dray, brandishing their weapons
and uttering loud,, savage cries.—
Finding nu nrne there, they began to
ransack th contents of the load, and
finally e off, taking with them as
much flout as they could carry, and
the fatal beg of sugar. For one mo
ment a pang of remorse shot through
my heart, end, for the first time, a
glitupse orthe horrible nature of my
devilish pnrpose shone forth, and - I
started n and called loudly on the
poor bla to stop. Too fate, two
late! Th unfortunate, deluded
wretches only ran oft the faster,
doubtless ;thinking I wanted back
my goodE4and, with their usual cow
ardly fear of white men, fearing to
face even one, knowing from past
and bitter experience the deadly I
.danger to be apprehended from the.

',VIPER the tirstarafining.,iii. =viz. wlait. I
matitvatAttePllead Stair;
`the guide to the Cave of the Winda. •
He was in
,the.,prime of manhood--1
large, : well built; firm and pleasant
photograph, he described, by refer
ence to it r a feat which he had tic 7
comphslied some time previously,
and which had brought him almost
under the green water of the Horse
shoe Fall. "Can you lead me there
to-morrow ?" I asked. I - le eyed
me Inquiringly, weighing, perhaps,
the chance of a man of light build
and with gray In his whiskers in
such an undertaking. •'1 wish," I
added, "to see as much of the Fall as
can be wen, and where you lean I
wilt endeavor to follow." His scru
tiny relaxed with a smile. and he
said: "Very well; I shall be ready
for you to-morrow."
On the morrow, accordingly,
came. In the hut at the head of
Biddle's Stair I stripped wholly, anti
redressed according to instructions—
drawing on two pairs of woolen pan
taloons, three woolen jackets, two
pairs of socks, and a pair of fel t shoes.
Even if wet, my guide urged that
the clothes would keep me from be
ing chilled, and he was right. A
suit and hood of yellow oil-cloth
covered all. Most laudible preatu
tions were taken by the young as
sistant of the guide to keep the wa
ter out, but his devices broke down
immediately when severely tested.
We descended the stair; the handle
of a pitchfork doing in my case the
duty of an alpenstock. At the hot
tout my guide inquired whether we
should go first to the Cave of tire
Winds, or to the Horseshoe, remark
ing that the latter would try us most.
I decided to get the roughest done
first, and he turned to the left over
the stones. They were sharp and
trying. The base of the first portion
of the cataract is covered with huge
boulders, obviously the ruins of the
limestone ledge above. The water
does not distribute itself uniformly
among these, but seeks for itself
channels through which it pours
torrentially. We passed some of
these with wetted feet, but without
difficulty. At length we came to
the side of a more formidable cur
rent. My guide walked along its
edge until he reached its least turbu
lent portion. Halting, he said, "This
is our greatest difficulty; if we can
cress here, we shall get far toward
the Horseshoe."
He waded in. It evidently re
quired all his strength to study him.
The water rose above his loins, and
it foamed still higher. He had to

boulders, against which the torrent
rose violently. He struggled and
swayed, but he struggled successful

ing out his arm, hesaid to me, "Now,
come on." I looked down the tor
rent as It rushed to the river below,
which was seething with the tumult
of the cataract. De Saussure recom
mended the inspection of Alpine
dangers with the view of making
them familiar to the eye before they
are encountered; and it is a whole
some custom, in places of difficulty,
to put the possibility of an accident
clearly before • the mind, and to de
cide beforehand what ought to be
done should the accident occur.
Thus wound up in the present in
stance. I entered the water. Even
where it was not more than
knee-deep its power was manifest.
As it rose around me, I sought to
split the torrent by presenting a side
to it; but the insecurity of the foot
ing enabled it to grasp the loin g,
twist me fairly round, and bring Its
Impetus to bear up the back. Fur
ther struggle was Impossible; and,
feeling my balance hopelessly gone,
I turned, flung m 5 self toward the
bank I hadju.st quitted, and was in

At length we found ourselves beside
our enemy of the morning. My
guide halted for a minute or two,
scanning the torrent thoughtfully.
I said that, as a guide, he ought to
have a rope in such a place; but he
retorted that, as no traveler had ever
thought of coming here, he did not
see the necessity of keeping a rope.
He waded in. The struggle to keep
himself .erect was evident enough;
he swayed, but recovered himself
again and acz3.in. At length he slip
ped, gave way, and, as I had done,
threw himself drat in the water to
ward the bank, and was swept into
the shallows. Standing in the
stream dear its edge he stretched his
arm toward nre - : , . I retained the
pitchfork handle, for it had been
used among the boulders. By wa
ding some way in. the same could be
made to reach him, and I proposed
his seizing it. "Ifyou are sure," he
replier, "that, in case of giving way.
you .an maintain your grasp, then I
will certainly hold you." I waded
in, and stretched the staff of my com
panion. - it was firmly grasped by
both of us. Thas helped, though its
onset was strong, I moved safely
across the torrent. All danger ended
here. We afterward : roamed sacia
bly among the torrents and boulders
below the Cave of the Winkle. The
rocks were covered with organic
slime which could not have - h..aen

along a narrow ledge to the point

THE VIENNA COMMISSIONERS.
Senators Rubin, Graham and Da
vis sail for Europe to-morrow to at
tend the Vienna Exhibition, having
been appointed by Governor Hart
ranft„ ny virtue ofa resolution adopt
ed by the legislature at its fast ses
sion.
As the people of Pennsylvania are
interested, both directly and indi
rectly, in the appointment of these
men, a brief history of the affair will
be of some value.
Sometimes, perhaps a mouth, be
fore the adjournment, Senator Butan
introduced a resolution authorizing
the appointment Or these commis
sioners. In doing so he distinctly
stated' that thele commission would
cost th_e peop of the State nothing.
"It isrietended," said this virtuous
legislatothat the gentlemen who
, shall bear their own expenses."
He further stated that some gentle
men might desire to go, and a com
mission from the State would give
them official standing at tha great
Exposition. With this understand
ing the resolution passed, we believe.
without opposition.
This was the first act In the drama.
When the session drew near its
close and a conference committee
was appointed to reconcile the dif
ferences between the Senate and
House, on the appropriation bill,
Ruin» and Graham, with Wallace.

part of the former. They met, and

they proceeded to perform various
acts of legislative legerdemain by
injecting into the appropriation bill
a number of items that had never

house. Among these was the snug

the exp_ense.s of three commissioners

we have two members of the confer
ence committee appointed ; while the
third, a Demo rat, is ' the• intimate
friend of the - other member. ,
It is as plain as a. plkestaffand; if
these three.men, and their confed
erates, had - deliberately formed a
Plot to break into the • State treasury
by force, and rob
- It of 6,090, and
carried the scheme into -executiou,
they would have been guilty of no
grater moral wrong than they have
been in what they have ahem& done.
In fact, so far as month:ides and
at raightforwardne is concerned they
would have stood higher. .
Nobody, of course, will be sur
prised that Ratan, who has nevet
been accused of legislative honesty,
or the sanctimonious Glltham, who
has long been . used as a decoy duck
by the ruling dynasty at HarriSburg,
to Induce legislative fledging§ to
enter the cesic - pools of corruption,
should have projected and executed
this scheme toren the State treasury.
But itis not a little mortifying that
GOVernor Hartranft, of whom the
people had a right to . expect better
thing's. should have lent himself to
the enactment of such a high-handed
piece of villainy. •It is especially
unpleasant-when we remember that
the Cotistitution - of the State forbids
that.,s : member or either house shall
be appointed to an office created dur
ing his term of service. This plain
provision ,dr the Constitution, to

tion of ,Wallace. T-he latter was on
the conference committee, and it is
apparent that he would not-have ac
ceded to the injectidn of the $6,n00
steal into the appropriation bill un
less his. , friend was taken care or.
There was another reason for doing
this. Jt would muzzle the Demo
cratic press of the State, as it effect
ually has done, who would not dare'
to denounce a sisal when a portion
of the proceeds was openly taken by
one of their party leaders. The cal
culations were shrewdly made, and
so far as we know, not a Democratic
journal in the State - has denounced
this gross outrage on the people.
The opposition to it is composed en
tirely of a few of the more dependent
Republican journals.
It is apparent that the roosters of
both parties care little for party ties,
only as they serve to hold in leading
strings the people whom it is neces
sary to dupe. When they can secure
what they want better by ignoring
them, they' do so unhesitatingly, as
in the present instance. This is it
good thing for the honest voters to
remember and lay up for future use.
In conclusion, we must say, that.
the transaction we have been consid
ering is one of the roost villainous
furnished by the annals of our State.
Jit is surely time that transactions of
this kind should be fully exposed, in
prder that the people may apply the
proper remedies. , Every true patri
-1 otshould make it his business„ , c,,,
watch our public men closely, and ;
without distinction of party, de
nounce dishonesty and corruption.
If this is not done promptly the time
will come when it is too late. When
official purity becomes a thing of the
past, the days of the republic art.
numbered. There are too many in

Within the last two years a great
impetus has ( been given to wool
growing in Colorado, and the last
few months have brought quite an
accession of California wool growers
to Southern Colorado, in their opin -
ion, that sectioe of the Territory tie

even acknowledged excellence of ths.
Golden Slope. A great many sheep
are brought in from the States. and
when free from the scab they do
well. But the tendency now is to
buy up M XiCall or partially graded
Mexican s
'A ' p, and grade them up
it i e
with the erino. For a time thu
Cotswold, Leicester and South Dow n
had quite a run with some breeder-.
but 1 believe the preference for the
_Merino is now becoming pretty gen
eral. Tho Mexican sheep ire prefer
red because they are acel•mated, are
free from disease, and are essentially
a herding sheep. The - e.tee.lient nat
ural hewing qualities of the Merin..,
over and above his other well known
exce llencies, make him a favorite.
Floeks from fifteen hundred to three
thousand, and sometimes' even,five
thousand, are herded together in
charge of a single shepherd. herd
ers receive generally from twenty to
twenty-five dollars per month, and
found; some extra men receive extra
compensation.
Great enterprise has been display
ed in Importing the best blooded
bucks from the States and from Can
ada, for grading purposes. The first
cross of the Alexioan and Merino is a
great improvement; two 'or three
crosses and you have an excellent
graded sheep. Many think wool
growing the profitable branch of the
stock business. In my opinion that
great scope of country in Southern
Colorado, between the great diVide
on the north and the Arkansas river
On the south, and from the moun
tains on the west, extending to a
line fifty miles eastward, is particu
larly adapted to wool-growers. But
you will find a diversity of opinion
as to the preferenCe of locality. I t
is hard to answer the common in
quiry as to •what the profits of the
business are, as much depends upon
individual care and management, as
in any other business. bat I am safe
in saying 100 per cent. pet' annum net
