A monkey can well afford te scorn the rel atively clumsy evolutions of the most skillful human brother acrobat In former days while narrating the events of this voyage, which I have dene some thousands of times, I used te say "we w haled." But I never whaled, never went in the beats, never pulled an ear. I had ether fish te fry In the galley, and new that I cemmence te realize what n conscience is, 1 mention this for truth's sake as well as te give variety te the story. We wcre bearded occasionally by a few Mexicans. There was ene melancholy looking Den Somo Semo Some bodr who deemed always in a chronic state of corn husk cigarette.

Thcse two Mexicans had enormous stowage for grub. They resembled the gulls. They also seemed unfathomable There was no filling them. What they did at tabic they did with nil their might, and when they finished, especially when eating by themselves, as they frequently did, thcre was literally nothing left "Nothing" in this case meant something. It meant in addition te bread, meat and potatoes, every scrap of but ter en the butter plate and every grain of BUgar in the sugar bewL I didn't take the hint the first time they ate with us, deeming the entire absence of butter nnd sugar nt the end of the repast te be owing te my placing a small amount en the tabic The second time they catne en beard I remedied this. Hut en inspection nftcr they had finished I found left only nn empty butter plate and sugar bowl. It was se at the third trial. Butter nnd sugar scorn te be regarded as delicacies by the natives of Ixwer California. Ner de they seem te comprehend the real mission nnd Impert of butter nnd bugar en the tabic They regarded both thcse articles us regular dishes, and scooped them In. On discovering this, after a consultation with the captain, I put them en allowance Thcse two men would have eaten up all our butter and sugar in four weeks. Hewever, it was ceiupaiativcly a slight tell they levied en us for carrying oil their whale oil, seal nnd nbalone. We wcre miles within their legal Iwundaries taking away the wealth of their waters. Twehe ether American whalers lay In Marguerita bay that season. It was prac tically an Invasion, only the Mexicans didn't seem te knew they were invaded, or didn't care if they did knew. Se long as they had plenty of butter nnd sugar en coming en beard nnd the blubber stripped carcasses which came onshore they Bccmcd satisfied. Thcse carcasses they cut open when stranded and ex tracted the fat nbeut the heart, which, en being fried out, would yield from ene te four barrels of oil and nbeut thrce miles of solid stench. They borrowed from us the vessels whcrewlth te boil this fat I was ordered te lean them all the pets, pans and kettles which could be spared from my culi nary laboratory. They never return thorn, nnd I was very glad they did net Ne amount of scouring would ever hnve rid them of the odor of de composed leviathan.

They seemed brilliant examples of contented peverty. The individual Mexican Is a mero independent being than the citizen of our own boasted "lndcendcnt" na tion. His wants are ten times lean. Some mercantile hopes way hang en tboseneras and Bcneritas. The few we saw wanted calicoes of gay nnd diverse patterns. The men will cat butter nnd sugar, but whether they will buy these articles remains te be proved. Perhaps furnlture sets of polished nnd painted horses' skulls might tempt seme of the , mero aDsuicue in me maucrei nouseneiu adornment te purchase, if putnta reason able rate Such are the conclusions drawn regarding the probabilities of trade with Mexico, at least the fragment of Mexico I saw from my galley. If we wanted any service of them they talked dollars nt n very high figure Hut they never abated. They showed no anxiety te tempt a bargain or an engagement They went en just as ever, full te the brim of genuine Bangfreld, eternally roll ing, lighting, and Giueking their cigar ettes, and looking us if they felt them selves a supeiler lace, nnd knew it all, and didn't want te knew nny mere, until we asked them teeat. Then they seemed In no hurry, but clambuicd lazily down the cabin stairs nnd lazily set te work te llnd the bottom of every dish en the table, including the sugar dish and but ter plate.

(Oepyrlehted, JsbS, by the Auther. Vtt AVINd finished my own tribula tiens and theso I fed as a sea cook, I resolved te go the mines. I went By beat and stage I get ever the 200 miles Intervening 'twlxt San Fran Fran ciseo and the "diggings." I had friends en Hawkins' Bar, en the Tuolumne rlver, In Tuolum Tuelum Tuolum ne county. Thither I went When I "struck" Hawkins' in 1838 it was en Its last legs. Still it boasted a stere and a dozen houses. Gelden hopes wcre Btlll nnchercd in the bed of the river. Expenslve river claims wcre then be ing worked from lied Mountain down te French Bar. But n premature rain and consequent freshet swept the river that season from end te end with the Ixmeni of destruction, nnd sent for the winter the miners back te their two dollar per day bank diggings. It was nt Hawkins' that I had first 'buckled te the mines." My first "Inick ling," however, was in the capacity of a meat peddler. 1 1ccame the agent of a firm of butchers up en the mountain for distributing their tough steaks te the Hawkins' Bar miners. Through the in strumentality of a herse, ever whose back was (dung a coupleof huge pan niers, I continued the agency for n w eek. Then ene morning the herse kicked up his heels and ran nwny. As he ran, at every kick a raw nnd bloody steak would lly out of the boxes, Hash in the brilliant morning sunshine, nnd then fall iu the line red dust of the mountain trail. I fol lowed hard after, gathering up thcse steaks as they fell, and when the burden lecame tee heavy I piled them up by the roadalde In little heaps of dusty, very dusty meat At last, dusty, perspiring nnd distressed beyend measure, I man aged te catch that villainous herse. Fer he, after having ejected nearly the whole lead of meat, concluded te step nnd be caught. I leaded the panniers again with the dusty, carnivorous deposits, led the herse down the steep trail te the river, then muddy and of a rich coffee color from up country mining sedlment Herein I washed my steaks, rinsed them as well JidiJMKHfttilU&VinTtr, Iwwiw then the custom, hung up picce nftcr piece in the gauze curtained meat safes ut the miners' cabins. I think Hawkins' get its share of grit that day in Its beef. Shortly after ward I went out of the beefsteak distribu ting bureau. Then I went Inte the scrvlce of the man who kept the Bar store, saloon and liearding house. I was eiraud ley, bar keeper, bookkeeper, woedchoppcr, as sistant cook nnd general maid of all work; and possibly worthlessness. One day the storekeeper's horse, packed with miners' supplies, was given Inte my rharge te lead thrce miles up the liver te tlie camp of the Split Heck river claim. The lead was strapped te a "cress-jack" saddle. It consisted mostly of Heur, potatoes, bacon nnd n demijohn of whisky. I was advised by the mer chant, en netting out, net te let that herse get ahead of me If he did it was prophesied that he would run away, "suie pep." But I had net geno forty reds from the stere when the beast made a rush, get ahead of me, tere the leading halter out of my grasp and set off along tlurnaTrow-meuntaiirtrall at the rate of twenty knots per hour. I followed en a run of about ten knots per hour. Hcnce the distance between us seen increased. As he ran, the motion burst the bag of Heur, ditto the potatoes, nnd then the w hisky demijohn broke It was a line sight .Tlie flour rese in the nlr like n wliite cloud nbove the horse, out of and abe e w hlch Hew potatoes, and the w hele w as interspersed with jets of whisky. It looked Hue a snow squall tra cling en horseback. When the animal had spilt nil the Heur, all the potatoes and all the whisky, he slewed up and allowed him pelf te te caught Ills mission was ac complished. I found remaining the sad dle and the empty potato back. The trail was wliite w ith flour for n inile, aud se it remained for months after ward. I led the animal back te the store. My heart w.is heavy and his lead was light. Tlie storekeeper gae mu Ids blessing. I did net thereafter lemaiu long in tlie service of that transportation bureau. After this I borrowed a locker and stilted te washing seme lhcr bank gravtl. It took me seeral days te be be bo cemo iu any degree skilled in the use of the locker. I had no teacher, and was obliged te beceme acquainted with nil its peculiarities by myself. First I 6et it en a dead level. As it had no "fall" the san'd would net run out But the hard est work of all w as te dip and .xur water from the dipper en the gravel iu the biote with ene hand nnd rock the cradle, with the ether. Tliere wns n constant tendency en the part of the hand and arm employed in pouring te go through tlie motion of rocking, and ice er:a. The hand and nrm that rocked were mero inclined (e go through the motion of pouring. I seemed cut up in two individuals, between whom existed a troublebemoand peiplexing difference of opinion as te their lespecthe duties and functions. Such n conflict, te nil in tents nnd purposes, of two dilTerent minds inside of and acting en ene body, shook it up fearfully and tere it all te pieces. I was us a house, divided ngainst itself and could net stand. However, at last the physical nnd men tal elements thus warring with each ether inside, of me made up their differ ences, and the left hand rocked the cra dle peacefully while the tight hand j .en red harmoniously, and the result was ubeut $1.50 per day. Soen ufter 1 found my first milling partner. He wandered te the Bar, a melancholy looking man, with thrce dogs accompanying, and was always in a chronic state of red ban danna and nose w iplng. He and I joined forces and w ent up the river U "crevice" among the rocks near the Split Reck claim. He had all the skill, all the ex. perlence nnd all the dogs, and 1 nil the general Iguoraiice ami incapacity. I deemed It a great udantage te have thus secured a real "old iniunr" for a nartimr ftZIB - VrVku sT iii a tsf Mm?, f 9M,' lSf t te and felt (hat such a man must turn up geld. We built ourselves a rude brash house en a shelf of the iccky ledge in a can yon whose sides sloped at an angle of forty-flve degrees. Even this shelf was netlereL It pitched toward the river, and there was se little of it that during the night's repose our )gs stuck out of the house entrance We were obliged te "check" all our supply of previsions in their respective packages te prevent them from rolling out of our wigwams erer the brink and into the Tuolumne If a potato get loose it ran like a "thing possessed" erer the rocks and down into the muddy, raging current We wcre obliged te peg ourselves at night while sleeping te prevent a like catastrophe It was a permanent and laborious exist ence at an angle of forty-five Te stand erect for any length of time was very tiresome More frequently, like Neb uchadnessar, we lived en all fours. "Crerlclag" did net prove very profit able. By day the bare rocks beceme heated by the sun te a blistering ca pacity. With pick and sledge nnd crowbar and bent bits of hoop iron we pried and pounded and scraped, and scraped and pounded and pried all the het day long, or clse wcre doubled up in nil sorts of back aching, back breaking, body Urlng positions, drawing up nt arm's length from seme deeper "pothole" orcrevlco spoonful after spoonful of yellow meld. It did held considerable geld, and heavy geld tee. But it took se long te get the meld. Tills was in the latter part of September, The tettnlnatlen of the dry season was reached, The first rain came. It came at night It drizzled through our brush house. It sent tiny streams down the rocky mountains, nnd seme of thcse streams found their way under us. We had lain and endured the rain from above dripping en our faces and wetting our clothes. In theso times one's day suit served for n nightgown. But when the aqueous enemy undermined our position we had te turn out It blew a gale. Hew the wind howled and tere up the canyon! We tried te kindle n Are. Match after match was blown out. Finally a blaze was attained. Then the rains descended heavier than ever nnd put it out. The chief misery was, we could net at night find our wny out of the canyon te any place of shelter. Ner could we walk at nil te keep warm. There was "standing room only." All about us were the steeply inclined rocks, melded into evcry Irregularity of Bha.ic. We wcie obliged all through the night te "stand nnd take it" as it came, shiver ing in our thin summer clothing. With daylight we made our way te the camp of the Split IJeckcts. They gave us seme gin. It was common gin very common gin but the comfertiblo and seething remembrance of that gin after such it night exists for me een unto this day. I wero n black cloth cap. The rain had washed out the dye, and this dye had coursed eer my brew and checks in tiny rivulets of jet I noticed that I seemed te !h mero than a usual object of intciiist te theso nbeut me, and wondered, until n friend ad vised me te consult a mirror.

Edward Fauer, editor of The Terente" Mail (Independent), is net n dangereutJy laige or nggiesshe being; but he has either caused, or been the innocent means of causing, the higgcet uproar in recent Canadian journalism. The pub lic part of it began w ith a charge of treason ngainst Mr. Taner by The To Te Te eoneo Kmpire (government organ), nnd has geno en te a pi I'henal suit ngainst The Einpire by Mrr Fairer, and criminal proceedings ngaiiiht the editor, David Criighten.

I This cuiht-d much talk, and directly denials were iu order. Senater Delph, of Oregon, came first with a denial (which was telegraphed te The Terente Mail) of an alleged interview between him and Editor Farrer, but te another concspendent hels alleged te hne ad mitted that the editor hadgiu'n tliem much information.
