tTSOH A BTAIT COEEESPOXDEsrT.I
LONDON, July 11. A day or two ago I had
a long conversation with Harry Kellvathe
Yetcran ex-champion sculler. He is tbe
host ot si well-know-!, thouch not fashion
able, saloon or public house at Newcastle
on Tvne. and if his own statements are to be
credited, he is not doing extremely well.
Of course time has made many changes on
Kelly since he won the championship in
18G5, but he is still a good-looking and
vigorous man. He still has in his bar the
colors of Jimmy Hamill, our former Pitts
burg champion. The colors were, used by
Hamill when Kelly beat him the two races
on the Tyne. At each corner of the hand
kerchief are nine stars and the center is an
arch with a bis keystone, representing
Pennsylvania. Kelly likes to talk about
bis race with Hamill, but while he does not
like to speak very disparagingly of the de
parted Pittsburger's rowing, he gives one to
understand that in bis opinion Hamill was
a vert poor rower. Pictures of all the old-
timers and modern rowers adorn Kelly's
bar.
The old ex-champion,expressed himself at
, length about the rowing of his day and the
rowing now. He said to me: "Bowers are
sot a blooming bit better to-day than they
were years ago and rowing is not a bit bet
ter. People laugh at my saying tms, but
every race proves it. All tbe best rowers in
the world nave been on our waters lately
and they did no better than anybody else
Las done as lar as a matter of time is con
cerned. But what I want to argue is that
cad none of the modern rigging been on tbe
(call boats nowadays and only tho old style in
operation, why tne old-timers would have been
far ahead of the yonrp men of to-day. The old
fixed seats demanded strength and stamina,
and the old timers were possessed of these qual
ities. Of course I do not mean to say that tbe
new appliances in boats have not improved
them, but I mean that had the old rowers been
here to-day and the boats just as of old, the old
rowers would have been better than the rowers
of to-day. Why, there is only one man whom I
have seen who knows how to utilize a sliding
teat. All other scullers are handicapped by
them because they don't know how to use
them. Certainly Hanlan was a good rower, but
ho was very conceited and had a very bleu no
tion of himself and a very poor one of every
body else. All the cither rowers have been and
are overrated. O'Connor is certainly" an over
rated man and alwa8 has been."
ScnllinE in England.
Mr. Kelly went on to talk about sculling in
England, and really gave a very discouraging
picture as to its future. He did not hesitate to
say that there is only moderate material in
"Btock. but added that professional rowing in
England is not as reliable as it used to be. This
is perfectly true in England just as it is in the
United States. Fraud and crookedness have
ruined the sport In both countries, and the out
look for a revival of first-class Eculling in En
gland is very bad indeed. Bubear is out of the
country, and it would not have lost anything
had he never been in it, and in his absence
there is hardly a respectably fast sculler left.
It may be late in the day to sav anything
about O'Connor and Stansbury, but X have had
"tnthe past so cuich to say about sculling in
.Australia that my readers will, I think, pardon
me for a word or two. I only wish to point out
one thing, viz., that Stansbury's easy victory
conclusively shows that I was right in claiming
that he was the "most legitimate" champion.
Baseball Aflatrs.
Americans in England, of coarse, are not un
mindful of the existence of tbe baseball or
ganizations in the United States. I know that
I am cot, and I clutch Tee Dispatch with
avidity when it reaches here. Looking at this
unfortunate fight from a distance is qnite dif
ferent from looking at it when right in its
midst. lam not so sanguine about several
things cow that I deemed certainties several
weeks ago. According to tbe Information I
receive, aud that is my only guide, I don't
think that all of the clubs in the two big
Leagues will finish tbe season. Of course I
cannot speak definitely on this point, but I
can say positively that two or three clubs are
losing heavily and are ready to throw up the
sponge at any time. Two of these clubs are in
the old League and the other is in tbe new one.
However, aside from all this, will anybody tell
me what hope there is forthe Pittsburg League
Club next j ear if the conflict goes on? If it
does not go orrthe club will be swallowed up.
by the new League club, bocause. as far as
1 can understand matters, the latter has
decidedly the best of it. But Isn't it an
interesting thought to have Pittsburg repre
sented throughout the country with such a lot
of plavcrs as have been in tho Pittsburg Na
tional League team this season? Certainly I
admire the pluck of tbosewho have put up tbe
money for them, but what can there be said
about the management and general executive
.intelligence obthose who run tbe club; The
TJon Quixote minner in which the club has
been bandied qnght to sicken even the veriest
cranks. The entire existence of tbe club from
tbe commencement of the conflict has been a
mistake. The directors have only been doing
during the playing season what they should
hae done in the early spring and what this
paper advised them to do, viz, get their young
men to go away and make a team, that is, se
lect a team by testing them all. However, it is
useless to cry over spilt milk. This year's
lesson will undoubtedly be a set ere lesson to
rainy people. What the result will be I cannot
tell, but I still cling to my policy that 1 have
oft advocated, tbat is, to have the breach
healed up as soon as possible. Both com
batants are in tbe arena, and it is folly to bring
everything to utter destruction by a warfare
for which there is no reasonable necessity.
I will not be surprised if at the end
of the season consolidation of in
terests is effected. 1 don't mean
by a consolidation a league of 10 or 12 clubs.
That would be just as ruinous as the present
conflict. No sensible business man would ever
tbink about making a leagne of 10 or 12 clubs.
That question is an old one. of course, but kl
notice that it has been reproduced. There are
co many faults and defects in it that 1 would
tbe surprised to see it seriously entertained.
What I mean is that the two parties at present
contending will either put their interests to
gether in eight of the best cities or make an
arrangement by which each party could get
. eight cities that seemed about equal. Either
of these plans would be better than contending
the moststupld auarrel on record. I know of
so reasons against these two plans except sen
timental ones, and I have an idea that recent
experiences will have taught many people to
kno x that sentimentality does cot always make
baseball business successful.
While on tbe subject of baseball, let me say
a few words about the clubs. According to the
last tables of tbe clubs' standing received here,
1 see that Chicago, in the Players' League,
is tied with Pittsburg for fifth, place.
Wcll,now, this carries out a prediction ot mine
Very n ell so far. Justwhen the season com
menced, and we had an opportunity ot seeing
the Chicago cluD play, I predicted that the team
Wis cot destined to crown itself wita glory,
and tbat Pittsburg would beat it out. So far
ay words have come true, and I am still in
clined to think that tbe prediction -Bill te ful
filled at the end of the season. On paper tbe
Chicago team looked extraordinary, nidstly be
' cause every man in It was estimated on the
performance of his best work; buttkny of the
players were well on tbe wane last year, and
really the learn was one more of nanio than
anyttlng else. Pittsburg has disappointed me
to some extent, bnt I am informed that the
team has bad the usuil hard luck. The stand
ing of the two New York clubs ought to cause
New York patrons of the game to ri6e up and
declare themselves, last year uiat cnj iim
tne best club in the world, and this year it Is
away down the scale. So much for tbe battle.
The Brooklyn clubs, as expected, are doing
well, aud I'm glad tbat Cincinnati has come to
the front in the National League so Well.
English Bnscbnllr
Thcro is nothing i.ew to report about the
tjAmcricaa national game in this country, as far
KM 1 know. What I wrote last week may cave
bad a discouraging effect upon those who
hoped to have baseball in full swing on each
side of the Atlantic, but I cannot come to any
other conclusion tban what I have already
stated, viz., that baseball has no chance of suc
cess here. There is another feature that I wish
to mention. Those who have been and are try
ing to establish tbe game here bavo not taken
the best means of doing so. In advertising
tbe game they have spent their money and
labor among tbe "bloods" of society, while the
fact remains tbat tbe game is one entirely for
tbe working classes. If over it is a "go" in
England, it will be because the working classes
support it. Tne more wealthy classes will not.
This catering to tbo "bloods" his been a great
mistake, indeed, and it is snrprising tbat
Americans should act so. During the week I
have noticed that tbe leading sporting papers
have Ignored the game here, which goes to
show that when, a J ear or two ago, I said that
f here was great prejudice here against the
game. I was perfectly right. The London
Referee is about the only paper that I know
of tbat took an Interest in trying to get
an account of tbe opening games.
There is another element that will work, and is
working hard, against the introduction of tbe
game into England. The business people who
deal in sporting goods are watching Spalding
Bros, with a suspicious eye. The Britishers
don't want Spalding here with his reat sport
ing goods establishment, and if baseball is a
success he will come. Altogether there are
many clem en ts at work against the introduction
of the game here.
Slavin and SlcAulIOe.
There is quite a boom in boxing here Just
now, and last as was tho case in America a few
years ago money, and money only. Is the object.
There are some queer methods of business
among the Britishers, and it is difficult to tell
what is sound and what is cot sound. At tbe
time of writing there is a controversy going on
bctn een Slavin and JIcAuliffe. The former so
far has been hard to please, and although it
was understood that tbe two men were to fight
at tbe Pelican Club, Slavin refused to go
there, claiming tbat Lord Lonsdale ref used to
allow his, Slawn's, friends to.be present. Ihls,
to some extent, maybe true, but tbe correct
statement is that Lonsdale only claimed
the richt to refuse ' tbe admittance
of "all objectionable persons." But
it does seem strange that Slavin
should turn his back on the Pelican Club after
its members treated him so handsomely after
his fight with fcmith. I am persuaded, however,
that this trouble, like many others, has been
caused by the under-curreut wort of opposing
newspapers. There are two daily sporting
papers, and one of them is resorting to any
thing to get the patronage of bruisers and any
body else in tbat line. Doubtless tbe struggle
to be stakeholder for the proposed match has
had much to do with tbe hitch. But
there is every prospect that the two men will
box for S5.000 a side at tbe Armonde Club
down Walw orth Road. Tbat club has made a
good offer, which has been accepted by both
men, although while I am writing no articles
have been signed. A primary condition is that
the club put up 2.500 as a guarantee that Mc
Auliffe will get fair play. It, therefore, seems
tbat the contest will take place.
Last evening Billy Madden stated that Mr
Aulitfe would hghtfalavin at any place where
fair play wonld be guaranteed. As to the
probable result of a coutest between Slavin
and McAuliffe, I am of opinion, that all being
well, tbe American will win. Tbe conduct ot
tbe Australian in arranging tbe present con
test seems to bear out the statement made
by many authorities here to the effect that be
is not ot tbe game kind. I am in a position to
say tbat McAuliffe is a better boxer now than
he ever was. and be has had lots of experience
since be met Jackson. While this is true, no
doubt, I am cot going to say tbat be Is a really
hrst-clasj man until he proves it. He is a more
powerful man than Slavin and. from what X
can learn, is a better boxer. 'J he general opin
ion, as 1 have said, is that fclaviu is not a game
man. If this be true. McAuliffe will certainly
defeat him. At present blain is on a tour
throughout the provinces and is doing well.
His great stronghold is his length of reach, but
in McAuliffe he will meet a man with as long
arms as himself. Everything considered, it
seems to me at the time of writing McAuliffe
will be the victor.
Dixon and Wnllnce.
Long before this is read. Dispatch readers
will have learned of the result of the Dixon
and Wallace affair. The American won, and
probably we are all content with that result.
But to me tbe contest, if such it can be called,
was a very funny one, if I am permitted to use
that word. There was nothing remarkable
ic it save the fact that Wallace, who
is credited with being one of the gamest men
ever sent from Birmingham, showed scarcely
any gameness at all. It is too late to talk
abcut the details of the alleged contest, bnt I
have a tew words to Bay about tho subsequent
proceedings of the two bantams and their
friends. No sooner was tho affair over at the
Pelican Club tban they went into the provinces
and commenced an engagement boxing against
each other in the principal cities. Now I am
in a position to know that these engagements
were made before the Pelican Clnb affair came
off. This being so, there is any amount of
room for a little figurine. Wallace had a great
name here, and certainly a man who could de
feat him would be tbe kind of chap that every
body interested in boxing would like to see.
But if Wallace was defeated on his merits by
Dixun it only showi that tbe English standard
of boxing among "bantams" is below that in
America, because I hold that Dixon is cot tne
best man in America at his weight. At any
rate I am inclined to think that the English
standard is short of tbe American, because in
the various boxing resorts which I have visited
the performers have been far below what we
see ordinarily in America. This is somewhat
surprising, because there are hundreds of
young men stndying and practicing tbe "manly
art" nightly. Of course the American style
and the English style are very dissimilar, and
each has its good poluts. lhe little fellows,
however, seem to cling to that old-lashioncd
style of a low guard, and I am of tbe opinion
tbat tbe new style of American boxing is
superior to that.
Middle Welfibt Champions.
Bob Fitzsimmons, the Australian middle
weight champion, has just issued a challenge
here to fight any man in the world at middle
weight. He particularly mentioned the names
ot Wall, Pritchard and Alf Mitchell. The lat
ter has to-day replied to the challenge, and
states that he will fight tbe Australian for any
substantial purse that may be offered bv a
reputable club, and a bet of 1,000 on tbe out
side. Mitchell also adds tbat If Fitzsimmons
does not want to come to England be. Mitchell,
will take his expenses and tight at California.
Mitchell, I know, means business, and it is
really snrprising to me that he should be so
ready to accept tbe Australian's offer.
Mitchell is considered tbe worst middle weight
in the list I have jnt mentioned above, and if
the Australian champion cannot defeat him he
mayas well return borne at once. A man who
cannot defeat Alf Mitchell will have precious
little show against men like Wall, Goode and
and Pritchard, if the latter is in form. It is
likely, however, that Mitchell will journey to
America and meet Fitzsimmons tuere. The
Englishman has not much backing, and proba
bly when $1,000 Is put up for him there will be
little more behind him.
1 made an effort to secure a match for Fo
garty against Alf Mitchell, but failed. It is
useless nowadays to try and make a match un
til a big purse is offered, because "no purse, no
match." A good purse is the demand of every
body who wants to fight, and if tbat demand is
cot granted no stake money Is forthcoming.
Well, I think tbat a man like Fogarty would
have a good thing against Mitchell if a substan
tial purse were offered for them to fight for.
If Mitchell cets to America I expect to see him
meet more men than Fitzsimmons. even tbough
tho latter may defeat Mitchell. Tbe latter in
sists in calling himself tbe English champion,
and that reminds me that England is as full of
champions as America.
Tbo Prdpstrians.
A few days ago I had a tour among the
pedestrians, tbat is tbe sprinters and distance
runners, in the North of England. "There is
lots of money in England for a first-class half
mile or mile runner. When I say England I
ot course mean tbe United. Kingdom. I cannot
see bow runners of the ability of Priddy.
Nikirk and others could'not make money and
lots of it in a season here. I am not prepared
to tell all that I know about the respectire
abilities of various runners, bnt I am prepared
to say that if good niilcr or half-mller could do
very wclL Aud there is plenty of money where
this class of racing is to be found, viz., at Edin
burgh. Beside the purse there is all tbe book
ing tbat a contestant and bis party desire; lust
as much monev to get as at a Sheffield handi
cap. The American sprinters here for the ap
proaching handicap are all more or less lc
training and it is rumored that one of them
may be the winner. Pklnqle.

A SPEAIKED ANKLE AT THE CEATEE
rCOERESFONDENCE 'oT TBI DISPATCH. 1
City op Mexico, July 12. Mexico con
tains no sight grander or more inspiring
than that preseuted by the volcano Fopo
catnplet as it rears its snow-capped summit
to the heavens on a cloudless day. Bising
three aud a half miles above the sea level
and uearly two miles above this city, it
possesses advantages lor the sightseer held
by no other mountain peak iu North
America. L3st Thursday morning I left
this city lor Amecama, a pretty little town
of red-roofed houses 35 miles distant, situa
ted at the foot of tbe mountain and from
which the ascent is . usually made. Here
after an amount of parleying sufficient al
most, in length, at least, to have decided the
fate of a nation. I secured the guide, horses
and outfit necessary iu making the journey.
Two days are required properly to mount to
tbe summit and return, but by making all
preparations on Thursday Ihoped to be able
to complete the entire journey on the fol
lotring dav. '
We were, indeed, an odd-looking group. J
The guide, a swarthy, Mexican, with two
steely black eyes, sat astride his little horse
with the air of an. Alexander sighing lor
more worlds to conquer. A tall, heavy
sombrero, whose color had been originally
black, but which the ill usage of a lengthy
existence had turned yellow, covered his
thick hair and almost concealed his face; a
pair of ill-fitting trousers, which bore so
many patches that it was impossible to tell
which was the original fabric, covered his
nether limbs: a shirt, which had not felt
water lor weeks, and a shoitcoat of the same
character as the trousers were hidden be
neath the bright red blanket, which was
closely wrapped about his shoulders. The
mozo wore the costume common to all of his
class, trousers and shirt of white cotton
cloth, a piece oi cowhide fastened with
straps across the instep beneath each foot,
and a battered straw sombrero upon his
head. t EQUIPPED FOE COLD WEATHER.
My own outfit waB more varied if less
picturesque than those of my companions.,
A heavy cap that once had boasted of'a
covering of fur rested unsteadily on my
head; my feet were tightly wrapped in cot
ton cloth swathings; a pair of wooletf mit
tens that felt comfortable in the cool morn
ing air protected my bands; two thick
blankets rested, one about my shoulders and
the other iu my saddle; a pair of smoked
eyeglasses sat astride my cose; a basket of
nourishing food was strapped about my
waist
The bell in the village church tower was
ringing the hour of 8 as we started on our
journey, the mozo running along with ease
at the feet of our horses. The summit of
the volcano was obscured behind huge banks
of fleecy clouds. For some little distance
we rode along a beaten track, stopping oc
casionally to pluck the hardy little flowers
that blossomed on the rocky ground. Now
and then we passed through stretches of
dense shrubbery and again through little
groves of cedars that grew so thickly as to
completely hide the sky from view. In a
little over" an hour we had reached Tlama
cas, a sulphur ranch, where the laborers in
the sulDbur works at the crater spend their
nights. Here we stopped for a short time.
to partake of some lood and to glance
hastily at the little town we had
left far below ns. "We were now 13,000 feet
above tbe sea level and the sharp, rare
air, added to the excitement of the scene,
was beginning to tell upou my breath. The
ascent, too, began to take on a more diffi
cult nature. Our horses had to make their
way along rough ledges and through deep
ravines where one false step would have
precipitated us hundreds of feet to the
rocks below. The only flower to be found
was a little wbite one with a dark yellow
centre that grew on dense thistled bushes.
The air grew colder, and I found one
blanket scarcely enough to keep me com
fortable. I AT THE SNOW LINE.
I was looking at my watch to find it close
on 11 o'clock, when, with au exclamation
from the guide, we emerged from the dense
bank ot clouds through which we had been
riding for some time and lound ourselves at
the snow line, with the summit of the moun
tain clothed in its eternal garb of white
glisteding brightly in the sun far above us.
Dismounting irom our horses, we gave them
into he care of tbe mozo. Then, taking
another bite from the lunch basket, glanc
ing at our outfits to see that everything was
right, and grasping firmly the sharp and
pointed staffs with which we were provided,
the guide and myselt started on loot through
the snow and ice for the crater.
We had not traversed 50 rods before I re
gretted that I bad uudertakenthe journey.
The cold, despite the sun above us,' was in
tense. It became very difficult for me to
breathe, and at every inspiration my chet
felt as it it would burst The snow lay al
most knee-deep upon its foundation of ice,
aud at every step it seemed almost impossi
ble for me to drag my heavily bandaged
feet forward another inch. The scene wus
wild and desolate in the extreme. Below
dense masses of gray clouds floated lazily
northward; above nothing but blue sky sur
rounded the glaring sun; above us on all
sides stretched uneven masses of snow. It
seemed as if Ve had ceased to be a part of
earth.
"We must hurryl" muttered the guide iu
Spanish, pointing to the sun, which now
stood directly above us. But how could a
fellow hurry when he was on the point of
dropping in his tracks from sheer exhaus
tion? I made a fierce effort, however, and
with a face that must have presented all the
aspects of a crushed ambition I trudged on
ward in the footprints of the guide, along
deep ravines, around gaunt bluffs and
through wild passes.
THE CEATEE AT LAST.
One hour two hours three hours that
seemed like as many ages passed by in this
manner. Only the knowledge that every
slep was bringing me nearer to the crater
kept me irom sicking, exhausted, in tbe
snow. Somehow I cannot recall accu
rately alter what appeared an interminably
long" way about a high ledge of ice and
snow we emerged upon the open, and I saw
we were within 10 rods of the crater. As I
did so I also noticed the guide slip, lose his
hold on his staff aud fallheavily to the
snow. I have since chided myself for my
thoughtlessness, but the moment was so
supreme that I neglected to go to the man's
aid. Like a flash every trace of exhaustion
lelt my body, and, as if propelled by elec
tric iorce, X darted forward to tbe peak.
A cry of Joy escaped my lips when I
reached a point where I could look down
into the yawping crater and felt tbat I had
successinlly scaled this giant of nature.
Then I pulled my revolver and fired the
five shots rapidly into the air. Not con
tent with this display of enthusiasm I drew
from my pocket a small American flag and
waved it wildly above my head as the deaf
ening echoes from tbe pistol shots reverber
ated among the surrounding peaks.
Not until my arm was thoroughly tired
did I turn to gaze upon the scene abont
The sun was partially hidden from the
view by light, fleecy clouas; tbe earth was
completely obscured by dense masses of
dark, threatening clouds that were being
rapidly whirled northward by a rising
wind. Heavy peals of thunder that shook
the ground where I stood followed brilliant
flashes of lightning. Everything indicated
a fierce storm.
THE GUIDE HAD NOT RISEN.
At this juncture I turned to my guideand
found him lying where he had fallen. He
moaned faintly and turned his eyes pain-
fnllv tin to mine. A brief examination
showed that he had sprained his left ankle'
and was unable to stand. Here was a pretty
fix: On the summit ot Popocatepetl with a
storm coming on and my guide unable to
move. It would have been useless for me
to have attempted a descent even had I been
cowardly enough to desert the injured man.
I should have lost ray way and perished in
some deep ravine. There was but one course
open to us. We must stick it out where we
were. With some of the cotton swathings
on my feet I tightly bound the guide's ankle
and composed him to rest and shelter from the
wind that grew fiercer every moment. Un
able to discover any source of rescue or re
lief I set about to spend the night where we
were, making the guide as comfortable as
possible on his cold bed.
Meanwhile the storm had grown in inten
sity. The liglitningflashes were more fre
quent and more brilliant; the peals of thun
der were deafening; black masses of clouds
rolled up faster and faster from the south
until even we were enveloped in their upper
film; the sun was hidden from sight and the
air grew quite dark; the wind shrieked and
whistled about our little nook of refuge as
though bent on sweeping us away. Then
little flakes of snow whirled rapidly by and
were succeeded by larger and larger ones
that came faster and faster until we were in
the midst of a blinding snow storm.
A COVERING OF SNOW.
After a time, however, I became accus
tomed to the condition of things, and heed
ing the ad vice of my guide I sat down near
bim and allowed the tailing snv to make a
covering over us, which served to keep out
some ot the cold. The feeling of utter deso
lation and loneliness that took possession of
me as night closed jn, it will be impossible
ever to forget The storm, happily, was of
short duration, but was succeeded by the
most intense stillness. Exhausted as I was
after the exertions of the day, I did not
close my eyes once, but all through thnt
long, cold night I anxiously awaited the
coming morn. My guide, however, slept
long and peacefully and only when the first
faint streaks of dawn showed themselves in
the east did he stir restlessly and ask lor a
cordial.
"When it became lieht enontrh for me to
'move about in safety I once more sought the
edge or the crater and looked toward the
east Like a great ball of dazzling gold
the sun was slowly rising above the horizon.
As it lighted up the earth I turned to be
hold the scene spread out below me. What
I saw was worth a score of times the suffer
ing I had endnred during the preceding
night. Not a single cloud obscured my
view. The blue heaven hung over us like a
great canopy. Bight under us were the red
roofs of Amecameca, and in its narrow
streets moved human figures that looked
like dwarfs. A little beyond the two white
towers of the chapels on the sacred mount
sent forth a summons to prayers that we
could not hear. Still farther Deyond lay
little villages waking into life. A freight
train making its way through the valleys
looked like a great serpent. Yet farther
away Lake Texcoco shone like a polished
mirror of silver, ana beyond that, 40 miles
away, the City of Mexico was spread out,
distinguished only by the extent of ground
it covered.
THE MORNING SCENE.
Looking in another direction we saw Ix
taccihuatl, Popocatepetl's younger brother,
rearing its giant head almost to a level with
us, together with the other cloud-piercing
peaks tbat look down upon Mexico's capi
tal. Little towns made specks of white upon
the green mat which lay below. We could
almost imagine that away off to the east and
the west we could see the waters of the Gulf
and the Pacific lapping sand'- shores;'but,
alas, tbe shortcomings of human eyes al
lowed us only to imagine.
I must have stood lor au hour in wrapt
contemplation of this scene before I was
suddenly brought to a sense of my sur
roundings by a touch upou the shoulder and
the voice ot my guide, saying: "We can go
down now, senor."
He had hobbled to my side, prepared to
make the descent. At first I was unwilling
that he should try, thinking that our mozo,
alarmed at our absence, would notify the
villagers. An empty lunch basket and vio
lent chills that passed through my body
finally convinced me that we had better try
to descend, and we were soon picking our
way down the snowy mountain side. In
three hours we were again at the snow line,
where we found our horses wandering impa
tiently about and our mozo sound asleep un
der a clump of brown bushes. Three more
hours later we were riding into Amecameca.

Summer Complaint.
During tbe summer of 1882 my little girl,
2 years of age, was taken seriously ill with
summer complaint, so common to children
of that age, aud after being treated by a
physician and getting no better, I took from
my shelves a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhea Bemedy. She lelt
relieved alter the first dose, and in three
days she was entirely well.

A NEGLECTED STUDY.
The Public Schoals 'With All Their
Excellencies Sadly Fail
IN INCULCATING GOOD' MANNERS.
Directors and Superintendents, at Fanlt
Bather Than Teachers. -
MODERN BAEBAKIASS TOO flUMEEODS
IWMTTEN VOn TIIE DISPATCH.
"Manners are of more importance tban
laws," says Burke. "The laws touch us
here and there, and now and then, but man
ners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or
purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine,
and give form and color to our lives."
. In criticising our public schools an in
telligent observer remarked tbat while the
teachers faithfully and untiringly crammed
their pupils with rules of arithmetic' and
grammar, geographical names and details,
and any amount of stufi", for the most of
which tdey would have no use in after life,
they yet most certainly failed to teach them
manners upon which so much of the comlort
and happiness of society depend. As a
study of the law of kindness, .the teaching
of gentleness, benevolence and consideration
'for others are not subjects upon which their
pupils are to be examined tne teacners per
haps sadly neglect what is of vastly more
importance in alter life than the contents of
text books. Some teachers do dothing for
which they are not paid. If the laws of
politeness were on the schedule, they would
reduce the maxims of Franklin, and Ches
terfield, and Bacon, and Wbately to practical
use, and have their pupils as proficient in
what has been called "benevolence in
trifles" an they are iu penmanship, in draw
ing, in problems in arithmetic, in rules of
grammar or in the latest hobby of the school
superintendent, iwho is everlastingly getting
up some "fad" to keep the teachers going.
GROUND FOK THE CRITICISM.
This critic of the public school has some
ground, it may be said, to go upon. The
teachers have so much to do to keep up with
the demands of their superiors, they are so
kept upon the rack of competition and com
parison they are so "'rushed" to make high
percentages in all examination studies, that
they have little or no time " to give to the
teaching of good manners and morals. John
nie Jones may be as rough and uncouth as
a Hottentot, but he can be managed so a's to
make a fair examination paper, even if he
steals tbe most ol it from his next neighbor.
Annie Smith may be as hateful as she can
be, but if she makes a high percentage when
the "Mogul" comes around to examine the
class the teacher will give her no end of
praise, even though she may be surly, and
snarly, and suanny, as if she had "never
heard of a rale of good behavior.
Teachers ate but human beings. With
an eye to their own interests they do that
which will most advance their own salaries
and secure stability in their places. If the
directors and superior officers should make
it incumbent upon them to teach tbe rules
of good manners it would be done, but, un
fortunately, many of the directors do not
know what good manners are themselves.
Some of them are so deficient in this respect
that it would be almost flattery to call them
boors. They treat the teachers in their em
ploy with such larrogance, rudeness and
harshness'as should rule them out of the
pale of respectable society, thus showing
that good manners have been left out of
their "raising" and education.
A CASE IN POINT.
In one public school not 100 miles away,
the only fault found with the teachr-when
she was "dropped," so ai to mate room
for a favored candidate was that she had
instructed her boy to lift their hats to her
when they met her on the street, as is the
custom with gentlemen. The school di
rectors thought this was inconsistent with
the principles of trje republic. But while
this particular ward illustrates the ignor
ance of its school directors, another neigh
boring school gives example of enlighten
ment The principal of this ward preaches
the gospel of cleanliness, the doctrine of
what is good and true, and with education
enforces such morals and manners as will
make the pupils fit tor any position in so
ciety they may be callled upon to fill.
However poor they may be they are urged
and encouraged to be clean and neat High
marks are given for blackened shoes and
general tidiness. Every incentive is pre
sented for them to put their best foot fore
most as to proper conduct and polite man
ners. Hardly Lord Chesterfield himself
could be more solicitous on tbe subject of
social usages. He says: "The immoral
man who invades another's property is
justly hanged for it, and the man who by
nis ill manners invades and disturbs the
quiet and comfort of life should by common
consent be banished from good society."
THE MODERN HOGS.
If children were properly trained in this
respect "the hogs" of dailv life would soon
be lessened in number. With a few lessons
upon good manners we might have the rail
road hog trained down to some degree of de
cency. If he could be shown how utterly
obnoxious he is when he chews tobaeco, and
fills the corner in a seat with a pool of to
bacco juice to ruin a lady's dress with its
hltb, he would likely be careful to do bis
chewing where he had a sewer on hand. If
he could know what a disgusting object
he is when he blows bis nose
with Tiis fineers rather than with
an Allen 6. Thurman bandana, it is quite
likely he would use the latter. If he could
realize what a spectacle of selfishness be
presents when he buries his head in a paper
and pretends to be wholly absorbed in it,
when a tired mother comes in with a baby,
he even lor appearance sake wonld lie
I polite enough 'to yield his seat if need be.
xi muse wuuw uauucis upuu me roaa maKe
them disagreeable to their fellow creatures,
could be classed as bogs and pnt in a hog
car by themselves, there would be mission
ary work done for them without a doubt,
but as it is they label themselves as hogs by
their behavior and excite the wrath of those
whose pleasure they destroy.
Mark the hogs on Fifth avenue as amok
ing their villainous cigars they nuff the
sickening fumes into every woman's face.
Mark the hogs as they stand loafing on the
corners, spitting all around Hntil the side
walk is a mass of filth for women's dresses
to trail through. Mark the hogs who throw
banana peelings on the pavements with no
thought of those who may suffer by their
carelessness. Mark the hogs who gape and
stare and swear and swagger upon our pub
lic streets to the annoyance of passers-by
with such obliviousness of decency and
courtesx tbat no one can fail tojetthem
down as constituting the scum of the earth,
as livers in the slums who think it manly to
"do as they darn please."
FKOSI A MORAL STANDPOINT.
Dr. Johnson has said a man has no more
right to say an uncivil thing than to act
one; no more right to say a rude thing to
another than to knock 'him down. But
how many there are who are harsh, dicta
torial, brutal in speech where they possess a
tyrant's power. A boss over a pipe line
gang of Italians jaws and swears and rips
and tears, but he gets no better work out of
them, or as much for that matter as if he
were pleasaner in his manners and regard
ed them as men (like unto himself It is
just as easy to be civil and say soft words,
and is vastly more prudent By harsh man
ners men ' make enemies, and even ditch
diggers are susceptible to insnlts, and liable
to resent injuries when occasion offers.
In some of our stores the clerks might
benefit much by a study of good manners.
Some of them are so glum, so sour, so indis
posed to be obliging that customers hate to
deal with them. These clerks clip their
words so short that it is easv to see they
don't propose to waste any. They seem to
look at shoppers as their natural foes and
give them as little attention as possible. If
some of the proprietors who know the value
of courtesy and good manners, could know
how deficient some of their employes are in
such respect they wonld make short work of
"firing" them. Clerks, of course, have their
vexations and troubles, as have all people
.that on earth do dwell, but they should be
made to understand that business is busi
ness, and tbat sngar catches flies better than
vinegar
MONEY MADE HIS MANNEES.
Many merchants and business men are
lacking in good manners, although they
must know that politeness and agreeable
nesi are strong cards in their play for suc
cess. A spectacle not so rare or unusual as
it ought to be was presented but a few days
ago, that showed off the nature and charac
ter of the man in his native roughness. In
his deferential bearing toward a woman of
wealth, it seemed as if he would be willing
to Hck the ground under her feet, while to a
plain unknown customer, ne was as curt and
short as if she were endeavoniig to steal the
goods instead of paying for them in solid
dollars. He did not know a "chiel was
there amang them taking notes," but his
exhibition ot how money mads his manners
was sufficient to keep two people out of his
shop forevermore herealter.
It has been claimed that in private schools
good manners are more strongly and care
fully inculcated than in those supported by
the State; but until it can be shown that
there is less of selfishness, less of rudeness,
less of meanness, among those educated in
such schools, the argument is not sound.
They may exhibit more of the "decent drap
pery" of society, but behind the scenes the
sham is easily to be seen. If the schools
whether public or private do not tend to
the establishment of "sweeter manners
purer laws" they have fallen short of their
highest calling. What Burke says should
be remembered: ''All tbe possible charities
of life ought to be cultivated, and where we
can neither be brethren nor friends, let us be
kind neighbors and pleasant acquaint
ances." Bessie Bramble.
WHAT PENNSYLVANIA DUNKARDS
Bar of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholern and
Diarrhea Remedy.
An Excellent Medicine. We used
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea
Bemedy for dysentery and diarrhea, and
will say that it proved itself to be an ex
cellent medicine. Bev. Adam Baker,
Shady Grove, Franklin county, Pa.
A Good Medicine. You can say to
your patrons that I have tried Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Bemedy
for diarrhea and colic, and that I would
recommend it as a good medicine. Geo. W.
B kicker, Eeedeysville, Wasl"Dfiton
county, Md.
Prompt Belief in Three Cases. I
was attacked with an acute pain in the
stomach and bowels some time last August.
I took a small dose of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhea Bemedy, and was
eased so much that I was induced to repeat
the dose, and was entirely relieved iu less
than fifteen minutes. I had a similar attack
last winter, and at once took a small dose
and was promptly relieved. I confess that
I never took any medicine tbat afforded such
immediate relief. It was also used by my
son in what he thought to be cramp in tbe
stomach. It also relieved him. I believe it
to be an excellent remedy for cramp colic,
cholera morbus or any pain in tbe stomach
and bowels. G. B. BRUMBAUGH, James
Creek, Huntington county, Pa.
Used With the Best Besults. As
my son was frequently afflicted with diar
rhea, I induced hitu to give Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Bemedy a
trial, and am glad to say with the best re
sults. It gave him prompt relief in every
instance. I take pleasure in recommending
it to others similarly afflicted, and I will use
all my influence in making known its mer
its. Daniel B. Klein, Bethel, Berks
county. Pa.
From Somerset, Pa. I have used
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea
Bemedy in my family with good results. I
also gave some to one of my neighbors, who
used it with good results. Urias D.
Bbaucher, Somerset, Somerset county,
Pa.
Cholera Morbus Cured. We bave
used Chamberlaiu's Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhea Bemedy on several occasions. Once on
a boy for cholera morbus. It gave relief in
20 minutes. I believe it is a good medicine
and sbonld he in every home. Solomon
E. Dorer, Johnstown, Pa.
How to Save Doctor Bills. I have
used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhea Bemedy in my family several times for
summer complaint and it has never failed.
I can recommend it as a safe remedy that
will save doctor bills and money B. B.
BowsER.Bolivar, Westmoreland county,Pa.
Diarrhea Cured by One Dose. My
wife had an attack of diarrhea ior several
days, when she took a dose of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Bemedy, and
the resnlt was it stopped immediately.
Cyrus S. Bomberger, Lebanon, Pa.
A Severe Attack of Diarrhea
Cured. Last summer during harvest time
a man by the name of Mackay (who is himself
a medicine agent for a cholera and diarrhea
lemedy) took a very severe attack of diar
rhea while here. We had no other suitable
medicine in the house, so he said he would
try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhea Bemedy.' After taking one dose, he
felt great relief and after taking three doses,
according to the directions, he was entirely
cured and has had no attack since. He says
it is the most pleasant medicine to take and
did him more good tban anything he had
ever before tried. We can recommend it as
being a very good remedy for 'diarrhea.
Henry Beelman, Dillsburg, York
county, Pa.
Cramp Colic Cured, and Perhaps a
Life Sated. A neighbor woman was af
flicted with cramp colic. My wife thought
it would cost her life. She gave the woman
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea
Bemedy according to directions and it gave
perlect satisfaction. I do heartily recom
mend it to do all it is recommended to do,
and feel thankful for the good it has done.
Joseph Berkey, Hillsboro, Somerset
county, Pa.
A Good Opinion. Last fall I was
taken with a kind of summer complaint ac
companied by a wonderful diarrhea. Soon
after my wife's sister, who lives with us,
was taken in the same way. We used al
most everything without benefit. Then I
said let us try Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera
and Diarrhea Bemedy, which we did, and
that cured us right away. I think much of
it, as it did forme what it was recommended
to- John Hertzleb, Bethel, Berks Co.,
Jt
Voe Pain in the Stomach. We made
use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhea Bemedy on two occasions lor pain
in the stomach. Besult satisfactory in a
very short time after taking the medicine.
I hesitate not in giving my opinion in
favor of the medicine. At least it has done
all claimed for it as far as we have tried it.
E. D. Book, Blain, Perry county, Pa.
One of the Best. I have used Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea
Bemedy for diarrhea, colic and cramp in
the stomach. I have never used any medi
cine with better or more satisfactory results.
I consider it one of the best ever used in our
family. Jacob Conner, Boyer's Ford,
Montgomery county, Pa.
It Never Fails My wife is snbject to
cramp in the stomach. She has tried Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Bem
edy, and that is her medicine now for a
speedy relief. It never fails. S. S. Beaver,

The Monongahela is raeingthls summer more
than ever before in Its history: not with an cry,
tnrbnlent waters, bnt In a social way. It is
qnite the proper tnlng now to go np to Mor
gantown on one of the lovely steamers tbat ply
between Pittsbnrg and that point, and it Is a
very enjoyable trip.
For those who cannot afford either time or
money for an extended vacation or outing, a
journey up to tbe headwaters bas many com
mendable f eatnres, inasmuch as it requires but
S6 hours rrom the time Pittsburg disappears in
the distance as tbe packet steams gaily away
until it looms upon tne vision again on tbe re
turn trip. And tbe scenery fhrongh which tbe
tonrist passes is such as to excite continual ad
miration, especially between Geneva and Iilor
gantown. Comnnrej 'With the Most Plctnresqne.
The popularity of the jaunt however, is not
confined to people limited in time and money,
but extends to all classes, including many who
are perfectly familar with the beauties of all
the famed rivers of the old country and of the
Hudson, whose sacred banks, by the way, are
being so rapidly desecrated by the advent of
mammoth structures in stone tbat partake in
design and appearance of tbe newly-made
aristocracy of their owners, and throw
into the minority the few real bine
blooded residents tbat have, until late years,
claimed the vicinity of the famous waters
as their own exclusive property. But traveled
or nntraveled they all enjoy tbe trip and its
attendant scenery and river breezes, and re
turn to the city greatly invigorated.
Among tbe many who navetbus far this
season enjoyed the pleasures of the short
jaunt are Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Scott, who left
the city with their little family party on the
Adam Jacobs tbe Thursday before the Fourth,
and just as the last firecrackers were fizzing at
12 o'clock Friday nigbt retained to tbe wharf,
having spent as they say, a most delightful
Fourth of July.
Jolly Folks on River and Shore.
"There was a party of teachers on that trip,"
said Mrs. Scott, "whose merriment and gaiety
was of tbe contagious order tbat provoked
audible smiles from everyone'aboard and added
wonderfully to tbe good cheer of the occasion.
And the fishing camps all gave the gaily deco
rated steamer salutes of fireworks and
national songs, thereby making tbe jour
ney one ot continual delight beside
that afforded by tbe ever-changing circuitous
route of the river on wbAse banks good-natured
rivalry must exist between tbe tall,
grand, magnificent trees that claim them as
tbeir borne and from opposite sides of tbo river
mingle their shadows in thecenterof thepretty
waters.
"The moonlight was perfect," continued Mrs.
Scott, in relating and numerating tbe pleasures
of tbe excursion. "Captain Coxe was kindness
Itself, and altogether everything was so very
enjoyable tbat we are going to take the trip
again in the full moon in August."
