Tlicre was :t larjrc parly of men in tlie
Kiirlo saloon in Di'iivcr, all iiitcrcsli'd
and talking; loudly conocinini; tlio com
mon pigeon sliooting of tlio nct day.
Tlio pii.c to lie awarded to tlio i'icloi
in tlie match was no less than 1,000
a stillioiciit pavmenl fop a day's work in
the opinion of every one.
-Much did I wish that I was a skilled
shot. One dollar would have heeii a
print) for me. I wa, in the current phrase
of thai country, snapped, Hat on my
hack, dead lircike.' 1 was ecn hiinjjii',
and knew not where lo I urn for a ii'ieiil.
as I was gloomily medilating upon
my fiittue -a reu-avk of a newcomer a
miner rpparently struck my ear.
'I'd gie !10 if I had my title here
that I'm u-ed to, 1 can't do much with
this.'
I sprang to my feet in an instant.
''Pen dollars, did v on say?' I exclaim
ed. I'dluingit. Vliere" is it?'
'You can't do it. I shall want it early
to-morrow morning.'
'Where is it?'
'Down in the camp at Silver Gulch,
thirty miles from here.'
Thirty miles! Gic me a full meal and
a good horse, and you shall have your
gnu at the time you' wish.'
A hearty laugh greeted my proposal.
The miner good naluredly sun eyed mo
from head to foot. Famished as f was,
I looked young, healthy and strong.
'Well, you shall have a sipiare meal at
any rate.'
1 insisted that I could accomplish (he
feat, although the sun was then setting,
and soon after was given full diiections
and a horse which 1 selected myself a
M iry and liiy mustang.
Sixty miles m lie traveled hefore 8
o'clock on the following morning. I had
set myself a painful task: hut" the ten
dollars I was to receive would enable un
to look about me for ten days, and some
thing might then, or bcfiiiu then, turn
up.
I had come to Denver in the hope of
enijiloMiienl, which my education as a
civil engineer might "grant me. Iliad
found live suneuus ready to offer their
services where one was wanted. Iliad
gradually run out ot luinR
I had chosen my mustang well, as re
garding his cndu'raiicc. I ti listed t"
my hoi'scin.'iHship to conquer his wild
liess. His wicked eve proved not to belie his
sp'uit. .s soon as I mounted, disregard
ing any attempt (it mine to guide him,
he galloped fuiiously on as though pos
sessed by a demon, lie was proceeding
in a diieeliun but little diveigent from
that which I desirid. I was' half con
liul, and soon, upon leaching an open
plain, I forced him to acknowledge his
master.
We wero how alone in an ocean of
prairie grass, q'be moon shone out
lnight and full, and 1 guided myself by
tho stars.
Although I was in a rather lawless
distriel, I enleitained no fears of bodily
harm from any passer-by I might cneorii
ter. Indians and other marauding bands
had well nigh disappcuri.il f i mil the
iKiglihorhoi id.
There had been talk of a band of
Mexican bandits a mouth before, but
nothing had been heard of them since.
I felt even ecstatic as we jogged on
ward at the easv t.ot into which my po
ny had fallen after his Hist burst of
speed. The atmosphere was delightful;
a gentle breee tanned my cheek. 1 ex
perienced a sense of fieedom, of inde
pendent, c, of loidline.s-, a.s I louked about
me over the vast plain.
-My pony showed no sign of weariness
when we must have advanced full twen
ty miles, niaiutaing an easy pace.
It was not until lights gleamed in tho
distance that he dropped into a walk,
and as we draw near them he again vol
uutaiilv broke into a gallop.
We uaehed our destination about II
o'clock, having traveled thirty-live lath
er than thirty miles in live hours
I soon found my employer's partner,
although he had to be vigorusly shaken
before he co ild he, awakenid. 1 lai cy
whisky had something to do with his
profound slumbeis; staled my business
and presented a written missile.
I obtained Hie rille, a breech loader of
luagiiii-eiit construction, valued pt $.'i00.
I secured as well, some refreshment for
myself nnd horse, and after an hour's de
lay slaited on inv return tiiii.
Mi mustang appeared lu lliinkhe had
done his duly for I he night, and I found
il difficult to' urge him from tlm camp.
At the expiration of two miles in
deed, wbeinny hand ivla id its pull on
the rein his head would slowly turn to
the caiiip, and but fop watchfulness on
my part I would have found myself theio
again.
1 was now in quite n drowsy condi
tiiin and would easily havo fallen fust
asleep on my pony's: back,
tty-aud-liy. as I becamo convinced
that tlio animal would proceed as I
wished, 1 yielded ton feeling of extreuio
lassitude and slept.
How long 1 slept I could not tell, I
awoke with a stmt, and at once, placed
my hand behind meH to assure myself
niai mo ruio was still secuiely lastened
to in y saddle,
I felt nothing. I looked, it was gone.
The thrill of horror that at once ran
through tno again gave mo energy.
I pulled the pouv stock still mid med
itated.
Thoughts of lynch law Hashed through
my mind. Had 1 indeed lost Iho gimf
Il would be said that I hail sloleii it
sold il. I would certainly bo arrested if
I returned without it, and held until news
would be received from the camp. It
would bo known that the gnu hail been
given mo. Apart trom its pecuniary
value il was highly pri.cd by the owner.
To what might his extreme rage incite
his conipanionsjig.tinst me, a stranger
and fiiondless?
As well bo hung for a sheep as a lamb
was a thought that for a moment llittcd
through my brain. Should I not seize
the pony and lice lo'another place.
Fatigued as I was, and come what
would I must retrace my steps and try
and lind the gun.
The prairie grass trampled bv my
pony's teet indicated the course 1 had
taken. I turned him back upon that
path.
Again and aga'nrl was obliged to dis
mount and drag my sore and wearied
limbs over the ground, which I carefully
senHini.cil, to be sure I could make no
mistake.
All the while I was tormented by iho
thought that my agoni.ed painstaking
might ho entirely Useless; thai the gun
'night have been stolen from behind me
by some wandeier as I slept.
How could I know? I was but a drown
ing man snatching at a straw as I stum
bled onward.
It seemed ages as I searched. What
time was passing? Kvcn ii 1 found the
lillc, could I reach the owner with it at
the promised hour I Only by giving it
to him at the hour of entry for the
match, could it prove as desired by him,
or I receive tlio ten dollars 1 so longed
for.
With leveled brain and straining,
bloodshot eyes I continued the search,
impatient and patient at once.
Clouds were gathering in tlio sky: into
one of them the moon now passed, and
the light so necessary lo mo was ob
scured I lemiiined motionless. Would I go
mad ? 31 y power for collecting thought
seemed vanishing.
Again the moon camo out clear and
bright: and theio close to my feel, made
shine something matallic.
It was the rille! 1 had found it.
I must place it before as 1 rode this
time. Willi fragments of tho broken
twine dangling from the saddle, 1 fast
ened tho breech to my left wrist, and,
remounting niy horse allowed the gun
to lest on my legs as 1 advanced. The
jounce, jounce ot the weapon added to
my discomfoit ; but, at least, it was se
cure, and I was kept awake, lint now
whoie. was I 1 1 recognized no land
mark. The aspect generally was strange
to mo ; I seemed to havo iieared the
limit of the prairie ; a lino of hills lay
against tlie hoiison, and beyond the day
was breaking. With victory ready lo
my grasp, was I lost! Suddenly I descii
bed in the I'istance what seemed a hu
man habitation! I traveled towaid it
and rejoiced to have it proved a ranche.
I leached it and holloed.
When I was within a few paces of the
house,!! window in the second story slid
denly opened, and a rille barrel was pro
truded aimed directly at mo.
I was thunderstruck at this proceed
ing. Had Iconic to tho lair of a des
perado? 1 Sut instantly 1 bethought of
tho suspicious appearance I piesonted,
with my gun across my knees ! as if I
was icady for action.
I have gone astray,' I shouted. 'Where
is Den vert'
There was a silence still tho rille was
pointed at me and then I heaidalow
laugh. It was tchoed bv the silvery
tones of a pleasant laughter a woman
laugh. I felt safe.
'Dcnvcris two miles fnithir east,' was
now answered me, in a rather juvenile
voice.
So I was not lost: I would liiinnph in
inv mis-ion. 1 was within easy reach of
mv destination.
'Willi that thought, mv overtasked
energies asseiled their weakness. I loll"
ed for a momenta! v rest, at least. Con!
I not obtain it hole ! I lingered, despite
the gun which menaced me.
If thev wanted to shoot thev would
have shot, I reasoned. Iiut the light.now
streiigtheniiig,tliey must see I was not :
rullian
I was right; tho gun was soon with
drawn, and then reappeared at the door
of the house, in the hand of u lad about
eighteen vearsold, who, laughing, a)
proached me and said : 'Kxeusii mo.
stranger, but you arc rallicr an eaily
visitor. I see you're a gentleman. F: lh
er s away, and the women lolks are iasy
scared. I thought it best to be on the
safe side.'
'I'd like a little refreshment,' was all
I said in response.
I was reallv in :i fainting conditioii.as
pale as death. The lad instantly tool
pity on mv plight, helped me to alight.
and led mo to a seat in the poitico of
the bouse, to a pillar ot which he tad
mv Ik tic.
He entered, and returned willi a glass
of wine, which gave me life al onccand
I told him of the loss of my title.
1 was in tlio midst ot my liairalion,
when a beautiful face appeared, timidly,
at the door, and a hand nuls.retched to
the lad a sandwhich, which lie gave to
inc. i ato it, and told mv story as the
reader has it, gaining another listener in
tho person of a chariiiiug(giil of six
teen. j It was now 0 o'clock. 1 had two bonis
in which to travel two miles, but 1
I thought I had best set about it. The
I mustang was tired as myself. He pro

However, us wo reached the confines

j it was a lively trot that he enteied tho

rower of Masonry.
That Masonry is a power cannot bp
denied. As an institution it has ob
tained a strong foothold in all pints of
Iho civili.ed world, and is gonctally rco
ogni.cd as one of thogroat uplifting for
ces of human society. As a Fraternity
it leads all other associations of alike so
cial and benevolent character, and has a
constantly augmenting intliienoo among
tlio most progiosjjivo communities of tho
eaith. Masonry claims to rank with
those potential factors of civilization and
humanity, the ministry of which is best
approved. Can it justify such a claim?
Does it indeed e.xert a deep and wide
spread iiilhieiico of good1 and, if so,
what is iho impulsion of such a powei?
Wo may lind proof of tho power of
Masonry both in history and experience.
Tho reeoids that havo been made arc
abundant lo show that its potent pres
ence has been felt in many of tlio for
ward movements of society and the
world, and that it lias been both a direct
ing and an ameliorating agency to indi
viduals and communities alike. Mason
ry has not been accustomed to boast of
its might in these or other respects, tior
to magnify its gills for the public bone
lit, but enough is on record to establish
tho fact that it has always been an ear
liest ally of tho rights of man and tho
good order of society; that it lias given
aid to those humanities and reforms
whereby mankind have been helped to a
better condition, so making some visible
contributions to tho general welfare, al
beit much of its inllueiieo has been e.x
ertid in ways so quiet and unheralded as
Hardly to claim the notice ot those who
inly judge of power by its outward c.x
pi'cssion.
I ho power of Masonry may bo pro
ven by subjective methods by tho tes
timony of individual experience. Let
us look within and ask ourselves the
luestion, havo wo not been benefited by
Masonry As the teachings aud sug
gestions of the Masonic, svstem have
fallen upon our ears and obtained lodg
ment in our minds, has not our thought
been quickened and enlarged? Have Wo
not boon quickened in our mental sensi
bilities made happier and hotter as
wo havoilrauk in tho lessons of our roy-
ii an, and snared in tho sweet commun
ions tor which masonry provides so
many delightful occasions? The genu
ine -Mason needs no outside testimony
to assure him of tlie blessed power wield
ed by tho institution to which ho stands
pledged; ho has felt he feels continil-
illy its magnetic touch on his soul, anil
appreciates how much his thought and
character have been moulded bv its in
fluence.
Do wo a-k in what this power con
sists? Answer may be given that such
power depends in pait on that system of
moral and philosophical truth which is
put foith under tho Masonic name, and
illustrated and enfoiced by such vaiicd
symbolism as that which attaches to the
representation of the Masonic liitual

Illtrr .Navigation of I'illslmrsli.
Aside from her great industries, Pitts
burgh, as the lu ad of navigation on the
Ohio, claims attention, and extends her
inllueiieo along the l.S,00l) miles of nav
igablc streams attainable by Iter liver
steamers. This inlluencc she retains in
sptin of the inpid growth of that great
destroyer of tho liver trade, the railway.
On either side of tho three valleys that
lndiatu from Pittsburgh are found the
omnipresent parallel lilies of rails, six
arms of a great ciitle-fisli, whoso body is
tho smoky city, and whoso suction disks
arc the station houses that draw the life
from tho tiado of each stream. On the
Allegheny this trade has long disappear
ed entirely; the .Monongahcla hears upon
its slack-watered current a lino of tine
boats that have existed since tho eailicst
days of steam navigation but whoso bu
siness begins 1 1 feel railway encioacli
lnent. The Ohio is plied hyaline of
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh packets, and
l iv smaller cratt earning a piecarious ex
istence between 'way' points, but tlio
glory of the river is depaited.
And vet, at l.tvoralilo stages ot water
in tlio fickle Ohio, the leveeat Pittsburgh
shows most animated scenes. A Strang
cr reaching the city dining a stage of
water favorable for boating say fotirto
eight feet of water in the chauml
would bo treated to a most inteiesting
sigiit on the Monongahcla Wharf, be
tween that many-piered and venerable
structure tho Monoiigahela Suspensioii
liridge and tho 'Point.' This scene is
especially characteristic when witnessed
horn tho upper or 'hurricane deck ol
some lug lUilU-ton steamer. J ho oliser-
ver is reminded of nothing so much as of
a freshly disturbed ant hill. This simile
is borne out bv thu action of the
loublo stieam of big black 'musters,'
!. c, colored liout hands. js these pass
in opposite directions over the gang
plank, each biped ant beais, pot a milk-
white egg, hut a fat sack of bran as to
tho out-goers, or a box of glass or bar
of steel as to the incoming procession.
This double pioccss goes on until tho
great hull has exchanged its St. Louis
freight for Pittsburgh's products. And
so skilltully is this same hull lusluoncd
and adapted to tho precai ions channels
of Western rivers, that, with a thousand
tons of freight aboard will scarcely draw
four and a half feet of water. And in
tins way, during the first thrccmonths
of 1SS0 10,000' ions per month of the
varied products of Pittsburg's fiorv
heal ted furnaces w ere wafted bv steam
ind current ;i.-00 miles toward the set
ting sun. Kindly showers thus washed
iwav iJO.OOO tons of freight fiom tho
railroads.
15ut tho magio wand which most po
tently transfoi ins tlio river-front of Pitts
burgh, which brings intense energy out
of apathy, which turns day to night and
silence into a Iiabcl of sounds, is tlio
sudden advent of a 'coal-boat' stage of
waler, i. c, anything over eight feet.
This occurs when both rivers, swelled by
rapid thaw or continued rains, send
down their quickened tides, so that both
freshets reach the Ohio at thu same time.
About the mouth of thu Monoiigahela,
or safely moored in its slack, water
pools,' tloat hundreds of groat clumsy
crafts that have the ill aught of a great
ocean steamer. Those aio laden deep
with millions of bushels of the wonder
fid bituminous coal and matchless coke
of Western Pennsylvania. The coal,
in glistening, irregular cubes, is fresh
from'ii liundrdcil collieries up tho beauti
ful .Mononguhelu alley, and tho coke.
in huge barges that hold l.'j,000 bushels
each, is the output of thu adjacent io
glims, where iiOOO coke ovens blacken
tho fair land and sky with tin ir dense
smoke In 18711 Cc',000,000 bushels of
coal and Il.oOO.OllO bushels of coke pass
ed through tho locks ol the .Monongahe
la, dependent lor lis going upon theea
price of Jupiter Pluviiis. These awkward-looking
boats, with their load of
carbon, mav have lain tints for month
while the puce ol their eargoes has
loubled in the far-off markets for which
thev weie loaded, and their owners aro
moved lo profanity, or pray lor the rain
to tloat olt their waiting cargoes.
Pittsburgh is the home of USD tow-
boats ol a pattern incomprehensible to
Kasloru eyes, for they do not 'tow,' but
push. Their homeliness is out weighted
by their bull-dog tenacity of puiposo,
when it comes to I heir legitimate busi
ness of harbor and long-tiip towing of
cumbersome fleets of coal-laden craft.
Theso are lashed in a solid licet, of
which tho steamer is tho hindmost hull.
In cost these craft range from tho per
fectly appointed monster representing
a fortune of i."l),0l)0 and the power of
1700 horses, down to the battered vet
eran that might biing S-',000. This
motley licet is huddled in port, each
boat ready and anxious to move the-o
coal craft over tho hundreds or thousands
of miles of tortuous Ohio or muddv Mi
sissippi. Their tires aro laid and their
boilers are filled, and when tho coal boat
stage comes at last it finds Pittsburgh
boats and their clews galvanized into in
tense action.
It may be that this long-expected rise
is an affair of a single day, or of forty
eight bonis' duration at best. The riv
ers of Pittsburgh risu and fall like
jack-iti-tho-box. Thero may be three feet
of w ater on Saturday, thirteen on Sun
day, and .Monday's siinsit will icdden

mouths of these ink -black t iiinols show
far up the greeii-wallod bill-sides. From
theso inky spots issue noisy cars that
rush down the "incline,'' bang ngainst
the "tipple," and discharge their contents
over sloping "sciocns" into the waiting
boat or barge, below. And back and
fol tli in theso gloomy pits stalk the for
loriiost of mules, solemn visaged, and
wearing a bandage over one eve in a way
suggestive of some subterranean differ
ence of opinion. Tho bandging is tlono
for the good of the boast, which, tin
bandaged, will "shy" over to one sido

but the drapery dose not add to hisbeau
ty in the least."
l'or half a century this undermining
of those everlasting bills has been going
on, until they rest their strata upon posts
or upon thousands of columns of coal in
the abandoned mines beneath. An acre
of coal, be it understood, means lL'0.000
bushels of the merchantable ai tide stored
in a "seam" four fiet tight inchesatluck.
A single ton -boat w ill take to New Or
leans, yiJOO miles away, the out put of

tation ol four cents per bushel. While
this work is going on along tho rivers

fields by rail at the rate ot 180,000,000
bushels per vear, and the supply is prac

From coal it is but a short step to

To the south-west of Pittsburgh thero
lies boundless beds of a peculiar soft
coal, in strata eleven feet thick, easily
mined, and generally easy of access.
This coal, slowly baked in groat ovens,
is the Connellsvillo coke of commerce,
ninety per cent, carbon a fuel that finds
its way to tlie blast furnaces of l.ako
Chainplain, on tlio east, and to tho smelt
ing furnaces of I'tali and Colorado on
the west. Five thousand coke ovens to
