LETTER FROM THE IRISH SCHOLAR.

NEW CASTLE, GARFIELD CO., COLOA
February 20, 1890. %
Mr. John Httchimt :
MY DEAR FRIEND.— It is with feelings
% of pleasure and with thanks to you for
your kind remembrance ibat I received
your favor -f the 3d Inst. I am happy
to hear that some of my old friends in
dear old and never-to-he-forgotten Johns
town arc not oblivious of me ; to one and
all of these you will convey my kind re
gards.
I will now endeavor to give you a syn
opsis of my journey nnd location in these
wild regions of the far west- I left Johns
town on Friday, December 21st at 8:30 l*.
., my first objective point being Pitts
burgh, whence I booked for St. Louis;
my half-exhausted funds being insuffi
cient to bear me any farther. Here I was
detained for two days, when I was fortu
nate enougli to hear that till emigrant
board wus established there forwarding
emigrants westward but not east. I
made application and succeeded in get
• ting a pass to Denver and $5 in cash to
boot. A daughter of mine resides in that
city, whose husband is employed on the
cable cars. I stayed there a couple of
days to recruit myself after a tedious
aud uninteresting journey of four days
and as many ni dits of actual travel. This
daughter, who has no family, presented
me a silver watch that cost $37.
I once more tcsumed my journey, hav
ing yet 280 miles ahead of me ; and after
a stay of a dy or two in Leadville, final
ly reached my destination here on the 2d
ult. My son-in-law and son, who are in
partnership ranching, reside five miles
from the town of New Castle in a moun
tain gorge, surrounded by lofty and pre
cipitous offshoots of the Rocky Mountain
chain, whose summits are buried in
clouds, attaining an elevation of 13,000
feet.
We led a romantic life of perfect seclu
sion from the outer world, an excelleut
abode for a hermit, isolated from civiliza
tion or the consolation of religion—an
other picture of Robinson Crusoe in his
desert island. These mountains abound
in vast herds of deer, elk and antelope.
It is nothing to meet 1,000 in a herd.
Beasts of prey are numerous, mountain
lions, bears, and coyotes, a species of
wolf which go in flocks, whose ravages
among tlie ranks of calves aud foals are
most terrible in winter. Hunters are eu
gaged in shooting them. These hunters
get a bounty of $lO for a lion aud $5 fora
coyote. We have a regular armament
here, consisting of two repeating rifles,
cupuble of discharging 100 shots per
minute, two seven shooiers (revolvers)
and a double barrel shot gun of which I
make use.
Though ranchiDg is a nomadic and dis
agreeable occupation in the w inter, the
whole life of the cowboy being spent in
the saddle, yet it is a lucrative employ
* mint, as stock increases with surprising
fecundity, my people having got over
150 calves for the Just six months. My
soii-in law, who is engaged in this busi
ness tor the last seven years, Ims realized
$30,000, and states that he will not quit
till he accumulates sloo,ooo,when lie will
get into business ; aud as he is now fully
stocked, it will not tu'.c him many years
to attain the result. Exclusive of his
cuttle l.e has about 100 horses ; his cou
* joined stock and that of my sou is very
little short of 1,000 head of cattle. Here
is where Mosby could make a fortune by
dealing in horses, and he could locale a
ranch at very little expense..
Though at such an altitude it is mys
terious what r. salubrity is in the atmos
phere. I have not yet seen a morning
'since my advent here t..at I could not go
out in my shirt, sleeves and remain for
tours in tiic free air without feeling cold.
Invalids are sent here under medical ad
vice for the recuperation of their health.
The Colorado boiling springs are only
fifteen miles from here, emitting jets of
hot water at a temperature of 212 degrees
Fahrenheit, like the geysers of Iceland.
I believe the infernal regions are not far
from here, and I have to correct an error,
so previ.lcnt in the East, that the cowboys
are a pack of demons. No such thing. I
have come in coutact with several, this
house of my son-in-law being a kiud of
headquarters of theirs, where they claim
a night's lodging without formality as a
matter of course after their tedious
journeys of several days iu the mountains. I
1 find them jolly, agreeable fellows, devil- j
* may-care like, and generous to a fault, (
sharing their last dollar and the remnants j
of their food with their brethren. They j
are most grotesque in their appearance, j
their apparel consisting of a broad-leafed \
white hut, a tight fitting short body coat, I
with moccasins or red leather leggings j
reaching above the hips. Thus attired, I
with a repeating rifle and a pair of
blaukcts slung across the shoulders and a
seven shooter in a scabbard slung to the
side, they are formidable enemies to en
* counter, if provoked ; otherwise they are
peaceable and unoffending. They ride
their horses without shoes and climb
mountains scarcely accessible to goats.
I guess you'll feel tired of my narra
tive before you get through, so 1 will con
clud by requesting you will be kind '
enough to send- me a few papers occa- '
sionally, as we have very little other en
joyment here but the pleasure of reading |
a book or a newspaper when we can get I
one. Drink,is out ot the question, being
so distant from town and so infernally
dear that a man can't afford to buy it. Ale
is fifteen cents a glass, and whisky :
twenty cents. I must send by express to
Johnstown for half a gallon when I get 1
richer. lam glad you are under my old
and best of friends, Paul. I have writ-
; ten to him, but as yet got no reply. Write
1 soon and send all the news of tbc day.
Your sincere friend,
PATRICK SULLIVAN,
One of tbe cowboys of the Block Moun
tains of Colorado.
' P. B.—l am beginning to enjoy this
' primitive life. When acclimatized and
naturalized Ihey Veil me I am likely to en
joy it better. P* S.
A Valuable Kmtorariiient.
The New York Tribune after speaking
of another work on the Johnstown flood
says the following : •' The Story of Johns
town " is the title of another and more
ambitious volume, prepared by J. J. Mc-
Lauren, editor of the Ilarrisburir Tele
gram, and published by James M. Place,
Ilarrisburg. It is illustrated by a num
ber of well-known nrtists from original
designs, sketches and photographs.
Mr. Me Lauren has done justice to
a story theme, The pathos and
the awfuiness of the catastrophe
are fully emphasized, as a'so the
brighter phases which succeeded, when
ali the world comes to the relief of the
suffering survivors. This narrative in
cludes a full list of the dead nnd a mass
of interesting details relating to their
families. It must become an invaluable
work of reference and record lo all who
were connected, directly or indirectly,
with the great flood. The volume is
handsomely p-inted and bound and is a
credit to the author, illustrators and pub
lisher.

Indianapolis Journal.
Some few weeks ago Robert Fisher, a
prominent farmer of Spencer county, died,
and now his heirs are searching for SOO,-
000 in Spencer county bonds which are
missing. It seems that Mr. Fisher had, sev
eral months previous to his death, buried
a jur in the cellar containing the bonds,
and had not confided the secret of his
buried treasure to any one save his
brother, James Fisher. The day after
the funeral Mr. Fisher went to the home
of his broteer and told his sister-in-law of
the county orders buried in the cellar,
aud they went together to look for them.
They found the jar buried, as the dead
man described to his brother, but, much
to their surprise it was empty. Of course
it is not Known whether the county orders
were stolen or the jld gentleman, after
telling his brother where they were
buried, had concluded to move them. At
any rate, they are missing, and the most
diligent search of the premises has failed
to develop auy clue to their whereabouts.
I'-iuuraeney Trains.
Emergency trains are a new feature of
the Pennsylvania Railroad management.
Whenever any one or a number of travel
ers cannot wait for a regular train an ex
tra one is started out at a great speed, the
frequency and cost being regulated only
by the willingness to pay for the extra
ordinary service. Before an emergency
train is started out every station on the
divisions of the road over which the train
is to run, and every signal opera tor,must
be notified of it, the number of locomo
tives given, the time on which it is run,
and every train in the path of \he emer
gency train is notified at the Ltsl station
it reaches that such a train is on the
road, and if it is an urgent case all regu
lar trains must keep out of its way. All
this is accomplished by the free use of the
telegraph, and in a very few minutes.

ICA'S SHORE.
j George L. Ktliuer Writes of a Royal
i Frenchman Who Wa* a Urate Soldier
| on the Federal Side During the Civil
! War 111 Ihe United state*.
i | Copyright, 1800.]
I The cable news from Lisbon to the ef
fect that Count de Paris, a Bourbon heir
to the French throne, who is doubly ex
iled by the Anglo-Portuguese broil, may
visit America recalls the very unique
career of one who, born a monarch, lias
been at once the friend and tiie victim
of democratic principles. He is the head
of the house of Bourbon-Orleans, and
whilst so honored hv the French Legit
imists in the third Napoleon's time, lie'
fought hravclv for the perpetuity of the
American republic. The French Repub
licans banished him in his boyhood,
1848, and again four years ago, for his
accident of birth, and now the Republi
can demonstrations in Portugal threaten
his peace in his temporary asylum thero
J and also compromise his relations with
I England, where he has passed the most
| of his exile in an established home at
| Tunbridgo Wells.
As an able and candid historian of the
civil war, Count de Paris will lie known
to military students and readers prob
ably better than any contemporary wri
ter on the war, but many fireside tales
will be found embellished with accounts
of his personal deeds and adventures
when lie wore the Yankee blue. Ameri
can boys, be they ever so democratic,
lose no chance to run after a real prince,
just to have a look at royalty if no more.
Princes have cut great figures in the
world's history, as all boys know, and
for want of a home production we are
compelled to look
jgtjpb \ to foreigners for
iaSjXi-' \ specimens. The

COL'NT DE PARIS. ' iai ' P ut on l ' le
American uni
form to serve as aids-de-cainp to McClel
lan, created a stir in tlio breasts of the
enthusiastic hoys of 'Ol, who, above all
things, wanted to go to war in good com
pany.
The writer first saw the princes dis
tinctly at the front on the peninsula in
the spring of 1862. My regiment was
not in the Yorktown and Williamsburg
campaign, having served in detached
operations under Gen. Franklin on the
York river, and joined the body of the
main army half way up the peninsula
toward Richmond on the 15th of May.
That evening MeClellan and stall passed
our camp in full war harness, having
just come in from the battlefield at Will
iamsburg, and knowing of the presence
in the cavalcade of the royal personages
I set out to gratify native curiosity, fully
expecting to find some strawberry mark
in the. way of outward insignia to tell me
when highness was in view. There was
none. Tlio commander and his aids
were dressed in plain blue regulation
style.
One Prince de Joinville, the uncle and
counselor to the soldier princes, who
rode with headquarters, was in civilian
costume and but slightly distinguishable
in dress from any of the civilians of the
staiL The others, Louis Philippe d'Or
leans, ('unite de Paris, and Robert d'Or
leuns. Due de Chartres, were in the uni
form of their rank, which was that of
captain. Viewed closely, as I afterward
found opportunity to see them, they had
an unmislakablo foreign air, not to say
un unusual one for men in their position.
They were Self possessed anil easy man
nered, and were earnest and active, with
out betraying anxiety or eagerness. These
characteristics, together with their cus
tom of having separate quarters and
mess, and of being mirfli together when
the army was quietly in camp, and being
uttended by a personal suite wearing a
peculiar dress, soon made tlio members
of the party distinguishable under all
circumstances.
During the movements of the Seven
Days' battles circumstances threw me
very close to the royal group off by itself
at the general headquarters, when the
princes and MeClellan were in consulta
tion, as it after- /fS 9 *

ago, was a noble WAR TIME.
looking soldier. Ilis full, smoothly crop
ped beard added to the manliness of his
appearance. Tlio Duke de Chartres, his
brother, was a beardless boy of 20 and
could be very impulsive and boyish un
der provocation.
At this time he had drawn himself away
from his companions to indulge in a fit
of sulks because the decision that the
princes leave the army at once spoiled an
adventure lie had on foot that very night
—a cavalry dash which ho purposed to
iead into tlio Confederate lines. The rec
ord made by each in the campaign was a
soldierly one, but the count distinguished
himself by gravity of bearing combined
with unflinching bravery rather than by
brilliancy of exploit. His life even then
had been full of pathos.
When lie was 10 years old his widowed
mother took him before the French
chamber of deputies the day his grand
father's (Louis Philippe) throne was
burned in the public square outside the
royal palace and the monarchy over
thrown, to have him declared king of
France. The national guard, whicli had
been summoned to sustain the tottering
monarch, had answered with the slogan
of the revolutionists, "Viva la reforme!"
The streets were full of barricades, and
when the deputies were about to an
nounce a regency, with tlio 10-year-old
lad as sovereign, the mob broke into the
hall, and the mother of the princes fled
with them to save their lives. A few
weeks later the general assembly of re
publican France passed a decree of per
petual exile against the Orleans family
and confiscated its estates. The count
was educated partly in Germany and
partly in England, where the Orleans
family found an asylum after the ban
ishment. Before coming to America in
1861 lie traveled through the east.
After leaving the Union army in 1862,
the soldier prince returned to England,
and during tiie Franco-Prussian war was
BEFORE THE DEPUTIES,
very active in the relief of Frencli sol
diers. His brother, the duke, served in
the French ranks under an assumed
name and won high honor. The decree
of banishment was abrogated in 1871,
and soon afterward the Orleans estates
were restored to the family and the
count took up liis residence in Paris. At
this time he found a rival to Legitimist
favor in the person of Count de Cliam
bord,grandson of Charles X, the monarch
who was forced to abdicate the French
throne in 1830. Four years ago the
princes were again banished and the
count took up liis residence at Tun
bridge Wells, near London.
Soon after his return to France, in
1871, Count de Paris began the work of
compiling liis history of the civil war in
America, a labor for which his vast re
sources, liis leisure, his scholarly attain
ments anil his personal experience quali
fied him. The work, now three-fourths
completed, is an impartial narrative re
markably well wrought out as to detaiLi
anil abounding in frank military criti
cisms. The hook is accepted as an au
thority l>y American soldiers.
A couple of years ago the chapter on
Gettysburg was reprinted in English in
a separate volume. Probably the most
interesting portion of the work for the
general reader is the analysis of the
causes of tli" war and the comment upon
tlio state of the country at the several
stages of the conflict. His account of the
condition of tlio American nation at the
outbreak of the war is a candid and ex
haustivf study vf the northern and south
ern people, their peculiaritiesof tempera
ment. b lief and institutions. His Euro
pean origin and education, together with
liis idiiin.-t boundless knowledge of all
civilized pi "pk s, acquired in extensive
travels hi; ore coming to America, gave a
zest for his subject which ho indulged to
the utmost, and lie handles the Yankee
and tlio lire-eater, tlio aboli ionist and
the slave owner, the statesman, the poli
tician, the backwoodsman and the
simple citizen alike as some new
and wonderful specimen worthy of a
special classification. He speaks openly
of the virtues and the faults of both
sides, and finds the conflict one that was
inevitable. Coining down to the out
break of hostilities lie finds tlio two sec
tions. wholly untrained to arms, sud
denly thrown into tiie turmoil of civil
war, and he proceeds to trace the prog
ess of the divided nation under tlio new
conditions, tlio raising of armies, the
gathering of means, the preservation of
local peace and order, and finally the
grand detail and science of the battle
field. His nearness to MeClellan during
the period when the Army of the Potomac
was formed and throughout its first cam
paign and liis experience and observa
tion behind the scenes at Washington
during tlio first winter of the war gave a
first hand knowledge of things that
sharpened both wit and pen, and he
wrote with the earnestness of an actor,
and yet from a distance so remote that
the candor of an impartial witness is ap
parent at all times.
Tlio name of Count de Paris appears
among the honorary members of the
Society of the Army of the Potomac,
and ho was tlio choice of nearly all the
members of tlio committee on the Gettys
burg reunion of 1888 for orator of the
occasion. Gen. Butlor opposed it on tho
ground that an American citizen should
speak at that time. During tiio troubles
of 1880, when tlio Orleans princes were
placed under republican ban for the sec
ond time, several veteran associations
passed resolutions of sympathy with the
count, referring to the bond of fraternity
between them on account of'their com
mon services in the Union army. Re
sponding to those in .the usual formal
way, an interchange of letters brought
to his attention tho Grand Array of the
Republic, and ho expressed a desire to
join that order.
On receipt of fuller data, however, he
found that tlio taking of tho oath pledg
ing allegiance to the United Slates was a
bar to his membership. President Lin
coln permitted the princes to serve in
tlio army without'taking the oath. In
meeting the questions of tho times since
he reached manhood tho head of the
House of Orleans lias shown marked
liberal tendencies.
During the cotton famine which raged
in tho mill districts of England in con
sequence jf the blockade of southern
ports bv ur war measures, lie made a
study of tlie systems of organized aid
for the suffering workmen, and pub
lished an article entitled "Christmas
Week in Lancashire," describing the
social conditions of that time. This was
published in 'I he Revue des Deux Mondes
over the name of Eugene Forcade, as
the imperial government would not per
mit it to appear over his proper title.
Continuing this line of investigation, the
count published, in 1860, a work entitled
"Trades Unions in England."
In a chapter of this work he gave his
rievvs upon the function of government,
advocating the broadest political liberty,
an entirely free press and the unlimited
right to form associations, to meet and
discuss political, social and economical
questions in the clear light of open day.
This he considered the best means of
preventing those explosions of popular
passion which have so often shaken
Europe. Repression, he thinks, drives
men into secret combinations and fosters
passionate hatred. Extreme views, if ex
pressed, could be corrected. He favors
profit sharing with employees.
In other writings, public and private,
since his return to Europe, the count
has discussed Germany and France.
Germany, he declared, must become a
colonial and a naval power, and to satis
fy its new ambition seek to gain control
of Holland. In a private letter written
during the Franco-Prussian war he said
that France had "to fear two dangers:
Anarchy and Ctesarism. Whatever gov
ernment will preserve us from them will
ho the one we should take and keep, be
it republic or monarchy."
The count is an officer of the territorial
army of France, and performs his duties
whenever he is permitted to reside in
France. Ilis country estates* are on the
coast of Normandy, near Dieppe.

When Jules Verne wrote his "Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," in
which Capt. Nemo navigates in his won
derful boat under the surface of the wa
ter, every one regarded it as a splendid
piece of imagination, but few, if any, sup
posed such a boat practicable. This, how
ever, is an age in which the imaginative
writer finds it difficult to keep ahead of
reality. Lieut. Peral, of the Spanish
navy, has built, a boat which closely re
sembles the cigar shaped submarine ves
sel whose picture appears in the volume
written bv Jules Verne.
It was about fivo years ago that Lieut.
Peral conceived his idea, but kept his

The Peral is a torpedo boat and
fitted with pomplete torpedo gear. The
steerage apparatus is in a conning tower
in the middle in which the helmsman
obtains a view of all about by means of
reflecting mirrors. What the internal
machinery is is kept secret.
Several tests bavo been made, in one
of which the Peral went down like a
whale and remained under water forty
five minutes, attaining a speed of "dx

" Not so bad as that, I hope ; at nil
events you didn't go that way you are
looking far too happy and hearty."
" Thank goodness, no ! or rather thank
Vinegar Hitters. Do you remerancr that
day I saw you last, when you recommend
ed that remedy to me so persistently, and
1w is first vex'd and then half convinced."
I remember it perfectly, and you
needn't say another word upon the sub
ject ; your looks tell me that you took the
medicine."
"No doubt of it: everybody remarks
upon my improved looks and temper; but
1 must really tell you all about it. I got
the old style, as you recommended, and
didn't mind the bitter taste at all. I fin.
ished the bottle iu about two weeks, and
was greatly improved, so much so that
I determined to change off and try the
new style.
" Well, how did you like it?"
" You told me your wife preferred tb
new style, 1 believe; well, 1 must say lngre
with her. I like the old style very much
but the new is a finer, smoother, more ex
pensive preparatic n."
" I believe it is; in fact, 1 have heatd
to, and 1 wonder the McDonald Drug
Company sell it for the same price they
do the o.d style, because it is really avety
ostly preparation."
" well, Unit dusn't conccru lis. Who
was it said that people fancied lliemselve
pious sometimes when they were on!
bilious? No matter! I was "only going to
say that I believe people often seem wicked
when it is only their liver, or their stom
ach, or some other cantankerous organ of
the body so out of order the\ couldn't be
good if they tried."
"And if all t >o miserable dyspepsia,
and victims of biliousness, headache and
the thousand and one ills that flesh is heir
to would only take Vinegar Hitters, what
j a happy world this would be ! "
"1 should recommend the new stylo."
" I never go back on the old fjtyle."
" Well, they can nay their money and
take their cltoice for both kinds work ad
mirahiy."
