"My destination was a camp situs- led lu the mountains some fifty miles distant from L s Augelos, and as my two troipers were thoroughly con versaot wi u tbe way, I gave myself uo concern about ibe route.

The. aspect cf the country grew wilder and more deo late, with not a trace of civilization on hillside or valley." An occasional-herd of '. wild cattle scampered from, my, pathway, and once I wa3 nearly thrown headlong from my saddle by the sudden swerv ing of Prince. A, sharp . snort, a trampling of bushes, and a huge grizzly bear troted oat from tbe na-. derbush, where the brute bad been lurking. With . ear9 pointed and nostrils distended, my steed required 00 urging to fly from tbe presence of the ieroeiouq brute. ' Deeper and deeper I plunged into the unknown country, while the sun rapidly slid ioT down the western Blope, admio ished me tbat bat a limited spaco of daylight remained s "Tbe prospect of campinff out with grizzlier lnrkiog in the neighborhood tor companions was 'anything but a consolation for a man already half worn out by worry; and excitement ; and to add, if possible, to my diecom fort, unmistakable evidence of a com ing storm was apparent Cliuds, dark and threaienin?, were rapidly mounting towaid the zenith, follow d by a deep mutter of thunder. "Cursiog my unlucky fate I drew rein, wiped the dim and oerspirati n from my forehead. As I did so my eyes were gladdened by the sight of a slight rift of smoke curling aud twisting es it rose ahore tbe tree tops. Spurring forward, the wel come savory odjr of venison greeted my nootrils. 4The next instant I stood ia tbe presence of a mountain eer, a trapper of true type, bnsily engaged in cookicg bis evening meal at a blnz'ng fire I received a cor dial welome," and after picketing Prince, I joined my companion with an appetite in no way affected by tbe predicament I was in. "I off-red tbe old trapper a round sum to pilot me to cmp, bnt the old fellow was bound to tbe "diggios," and too much time would be loft, he said, by leaving tbe trail. "However we compromised tbe matter by bis starting me in the right direction, adding the pleasing infor mation tbit five miles farther on I would come to a berdman's ranche, where I conld find shelter from tbe storm and a bed fir tbe night. " -Keep in tbe reg'lar trail stran ger, and don't go in any side canon?, for there's lots o' Greasers ab lot, 'n they'll gobble you np if yerdm't look sharp 'cause yer got a mighty fine horse and saddle tbere.' "Thanking bim for his advice I again Btruck out on my lonesome j iuroey, foil iwiug closely tbe numer ous distinguishing marks tbo moun taineer bad mentioned. "Tbe datkness increased rapidly, and urging my horse to a gallop I horried 00 ia hopes to gain tbe t-hel- ter of tbe herdsman's but before tbe full force of ibe etorm should swoop do' j op -n roe "Aliesdv a few preliminary palter ing drops adfnonihe! me that I bad but little lime to t-pare, while as vf casiunal gust of wind would roll up the dust in stifling clouds, compelling me to bow my bead to my burse's neck In vain I peered through the gloom, increasing every moment as tbe mist of the storm grew thicker aud thicker; no t-igns of a house could 1 ditiuguian. trees, under brush, rocks and fallen trees all 1 min ed op io one confused mass, while broad sheet of lightoing at intervals lit np with duzzliug brightness the gloomly scene, bringing out. eacb crevice in the rocks with painful clear ness only to bo plunged in darkaess the next instant tea times more pro found and perplexing. Th9 rain came down in torrents, drenching me tbrough and through. Prince, sink ing to bis fetlocks at eacb plunge, bore me bravely on, 1 knew not w hith er, for I had long since given him the rein, preferring to trust to bis instinct in preference to my limited knowl edge. "Drawing my cloak closely around me, I crouched close to tbe saddle to avoid being swept off by some pro jecting bough, and relapsing into a reverie bj no means complimentary to the country, allowed Prince to pick bia way as best he could. "Suddenly he stopped; at the next flash of lightning was revealed a rndely constructed house, surround ed by a species of fence, with here and there a strangling tree. 1 bad struck tbe herdsman's station at last, more by good luck of Prince's) in stinct than by any judgment ef my own, snd throwing my reins over a post I shouldered the saddlebags, rapped a: the door, and the next in Btant stood before a blazing fire cf V. ' huge logs in the spacious fire place, in the midst of which swan; a huge iron kettle "A Mexican with abaggy hair, fowling visage and crippled form bido me welcome, his voice sounding strangely harsh and discordant, an took a seat in an angle of the fire place. His companion was a woman, sad of face, h amble of mind, and not unprepossessing ia her general ap pearance. "Before the blazing fire my clothes were socn dried, aod having informed my companion wub tbe bushy head that! was soldier enronte to tbe ra 'Unteia camp, . I- excused myself irom partaking of the contents ot the cetue. prepared to stretch my tired lira be oa something, if no better una a bare board. "Mounting a rickety pair of steps mine noet pointed out a pile of straw as be held a lamina; torch above his head.. It was the best tbe wretched abode afforded, so while tbe fellow departed to look after Prince, piaceu tbe sadd.e-bags nnder my head, and in fire minutes was oblivi ous to everything transpiring about me. , , "I think I taut have been little oervons, for I started ep once with a shiver. The storm bad passed away. the moon smiled down upon me tbrough numerous chinks and crey ices in toe craxy old roof ; not '. a suuod could I hear save the gentle Sigbmg of tbe wind ss it swept through the trass, and feoling reassur ed 1 composed myself again to sleep. "I do not know bow long I slum bered, bat I was aroused by a very decided grip on my shoulder. "My eyes opened wide in astonish ment aa they tell npon tbe woman whom I bad met on my arrival. She was carefully shielding the rays of a pine torch, her loreuager resting warmngly upon her pale lips. " ' Arouse yourself, stranger ; yon are in a den ot tmevev sne said 10 a low, impressive voice. 'Depart quick ly, and trust to the mercy of the wolves and bears, for 1 promise you you 11 find none under this roof. Yon are not the first traveler wbo baa sought this abode wbo never again razed upou the light of day. Yoor doom was sealed when Juan beard tbe click of the coin in your saddle bags.

Aod she pointed to Borne dark stains on the rough floor. 'That was a miner, a wanderer like yourself, lost ou tbe bull, aud be was slain with as little mercy as you would mete out to a serpent 'Money!

Yoar horse is at the gate. Follow the trail down tbe cannon, turn to tbe left, and may the saints protect yon. I can do no more.' "Well, now, gentlemen, it did not take me long to pick my way down tbe ladder, out into tbe air, aod with bound gam tbe saddle. Tbe old rookery loomed up in tbe moonlight, silent, dark and foreboding, and I could not repress a sb adder as I thought of tbe narrow escape I bad experienced. "With considerable satis action I noted a glow ot light in tbe east, and streaks of luminous color radiated rapidly over the horizjn as I swung down the canon. A peculiar pricking np of the ears ou Prince's part attracted my atten tion, and, thinking it might indicate the presence of a grizzly, I halted to reconnoi ra. Tbe faint grinding of gravel beneath aa advancing troop of horses' teet fell distinctly npon my ear. 1 be gang wbom Juan bad gone in quest of were undoubtedly return ing, spurred on by the hope tbat a golden harvest awaited them. "Qdietly I rode to one side, drew Prince np in a clamp of trees, and withdrawing my revolver, awaited their coming. "At a brisk gallop tbey passed by, eight as villainous looking greasers as ever cheated tbe gallows out of its just dues. Joan was in their midst,! talking and gesticulating as he dis- canted, probably upon tbe contents of my saddle-bags. "Little did the rascals dream of the actual amount 1 did have, or I am afraid there might have been a differ ent sequel to tbe adventure. "I waited a reasonable length of time, tbe sound of tbe horses' tramp ling died away, and then clapping spurs to Prince's sides, I dabed down tbe gaily at a brisk pace. "1 had not gone far, however, when a loud shoot rang out on tbe still morning air. Somewhat surprised, I glanced over my shoulder, and tbere came the whole crew, beaded by J,uo, bareheaded, riding in advance. By some route unknown to me, they bad cut off a portion of the distance, aod being splendidly mounted, 1 felt a little apprehensive. "I was well armed, but firearms were of no nse witn Prince, untrained as be was. Had not the fellows seen very plainly that the high spirit of my horse would not allow me to shoot from his back they never woulu have dared to attack aa American, wbom tbey fear and bate. "My revolver and sword were no match for their vicious looking knives and that terrible weapon in the bands of an expert, the lariat. ' "1 might I have tried conclusions, tor my blood was np, bnt I consider ed that I had no right to risk ia tbe slightest the funds intrusted to my care by the Government, so sinking the spurs into Prince's flanks away I went, with the greasers in hot pur suit "The endnrance of Spanish horses being almost proverbial. I made np my mind tbat the race wonld be one of life or death. The infernal specie weighed down my cbsrger terribly the odds were greatly sgamst me. "I cast off my cloak, cot tbe blank et adrift, threw away tbe rmall band valise (my companion tor years), then followed my sword, seabbard and belt, ho til I bad nothing left bnt my sad dle bags and revolver. Coatless and hatless I rodo, the foam flyiig from Prince's flanks, and. tbe greaser, with long continued yells, urged their horse3 into a wild, frantic gallop, while tbe occasional sharp 8hih in close oroximity to my ears proved tbat tbey were gaioing slightly, and testing the length of the hriats, which were but a few feet too short for ef fective work. "How loog that race extended it more tLan 1 know, but I can assure yon it seemed te me as if it would never bring succor to my flagging steed. To have saved my life 1 pre sume I would have cat the saddle bags adrift, and I conld not have held out bat a little while longer at best. The terrible jolting, excitement aod nervous condition of my entire sys tem w8 operating against me. My hand weak and trembling, strange noises buzzed in my ears, while my temple throbbed as ii they would burst. Particles of light danced be fore my eyes, a cold perspiration broke out on my forehead, and 1 tel. that tbe eod was not tar off. "A jingling of steel, a Bhout, a doz en confused forms flitted before me, the report of a rifle, and I knew no more. "It was late in tbe afternoon when I was fully myself, and ascertained that 1 had ridden almost into3 the arms of a detachment of cavalry Bent out to look after me. By some means my coming had been anticipated, and, knowing the large amount of money I had with me, tbe officer in charge became alasmed when I was over due. "They arrived in the nick ct time, for tbev told me I was reeling in the saddle and Prince was sadly ueed up. "The gro&sers were captured to a man, and were swung off unceremon iously from the nearest tree, where they were left for the birds of prey W finish. "The back track was taken for the purpose of sesreniog the old boose, bnt only the smoking and charred ruins remained. Not a trace of tbe kind female could I discover, and whether she fell a victim of suspicion to the veogeance of the gang, or her self set fire to the crime-stained rook ery, aud effected her escape to parts unknown, remafos a mystery.

All these figures are perfectlv absurd, and everybody knows that they are of no value whatever, except to raise a few dollars for the Com monwealth at tbe expense of muub veracity on the part of a good many peopie. 1- or instance, wnen the Com missioners of Crawford and Warren counties certified that tbere were no watches in those counties, they must have known absolutely they were certifying to a falso statement, for it seems impossible tbat three men could be elected county commission ers in those counties who did noto'vn watches themselves.

Anoiber aod a greater difficulty, lay ia the neces si ly 'of proving the practicability of the enterprise, and mis M de Les seps claims to have done to tbe ea tire satisfaction ot all concernsd. Af ter carefully studying the ground be finds that tbere is only a mountain five kilometers long to be pierced tu unite tbe two streams of the Rio Chagens and the Bio Grande, which fall respectfully ia tte Atlantic and Pacific. The isthmus of Panama at this point only measures saveatj tbree kilometers acro.-s aud cannot be compared to the Isthmus of Sunz which measures 102, and where the workers had no water, uo lodging, and nothing bat a burning desert to rest upon. The American difficulty M. de Lesseps says, has been over come, and America accepts the canal, as does Francw, koowing it to be fur the good ot humanity and tbe civili zation of the world. Writing in Fijaro on the vexed question of a dissolution, M. Mag nard remarks tbat it seems to bo de sired by M. Gambetts, but not by M. Grevy. M.

A very goaaral pmisapreheasioa seems to eiis: among the mechanic's apprentices as to their duty and the object uf their apprenticeship Xine out of ten consider, that tne entire novitiate is to acquire a knw!edge of tbe use of the tools of their trade and facility ia their bandleiog, aad that with this acquirement their trade is learned and their apprenticeship ended. Thus we have so many me chanics, who, instead of being mas ters ot their trades, have their trades for their masters. Tbe mechanic who can nse his tools only nnder the directions of a boss or overseer, has not attained to tbe mastery of his business, and noless Le does he will be. all his life long, a slave to the contingencies of mechanical demand. It is not to be supposed tbat every mechanic can be a boss.ba: it is com petent for every mechanic to be qual ified by his acquired knowledge for tbe position, even if he does posess the necessary natural capabilities to be a leader and director. Xot every skillful workman can manige the af fairs cf a shop or direct a body cf men, bat be understands, as well as those who can, what is necissarj to be done. Tbe trarket always with rare exceptions and under peculiar circumstances Is glutted with un skilled labor, but it is seldom, except wnen busiues generly is utterly pros trated, that a really skillful workman cannot procure remunerative employ ment. Such men are always ia de mand when tbere is work to be done. Aa employer prefers aa intiliigent wc-rkm.it to tbe most pai.itakiag and faithful leborer who is but an anima te 1 machine. The day's labor should not he re garded by the workman simply as a task and the hoars spent in tbe shop as so many infractions of hia general liberty. If he feeia an interest in his work the toil will be a pleasure acd the shop he considered a school. This interest can be created and fostered by persistent efTort to understand the fAy of a job s well a9 to know the hov). All mechanical manipulations are founded on strictly scientific prin ciples, a knowledge of which may be obtained from text books and man uals, and the poaession cf which will give aa interest to what otherwise would be but a monotonous ami wcarysome drudgery. This knowl edge will incite to improvement aod may lead to invention. A workman who is fertile in expedients, who is ready in emergencies, quick at sug gestion, and apt at understanding present requirement, is invaluable ia j any concern. He cannot long occupy : a merely subordinate position 'and j rank among the drudges. Tbere is scarcely anw mechanical business in which a knowledge of drawiog and geometry will not be valuable ; there are few to which chemistry is not allied ; a knowledge of arithmetic is useful, aad nat ural philosophy, as applied to the science of mechanics, is a great aid to success in mechanical operations. All these may be acquired by the mechanic by his own efforts snd tie aid of textbooks. A conductor on a Colorado railroad coolly Ehot acd killed a man who would neither get eff tbe car ccr pay fare.
