Colorado rjloneer now living la known for tome accomplishment of early davs. The deeds of tlie old set tler during tne pam twenty years 01 his life, no matter Jhow startling tuey rnav have been, aru regarded as with out Interest alike by his companion of early frontier time and ine puunc gen erally. Each pioneer made some sort of a lasting record while the stage coach was In Its prime and the wagon train supplied the necessaries of life to the iniiuuuams in una state. To Farley Christ belongs the dlstlnc tlon of having traveled more miles be hind a freight wagon than any other citizen of Colorado. At least no one has ever appeared with figures that exceed those claimed by Mr. Christ. and the distance covered by him Is ureater than the circumference of the earth bv several thousand miles. Mr.Christ was born in i'ottaviiie, i'a., but us ho Is a prepossessing bachelor, and still hopeful, he declined to state even approximately when the event r - toot: niuce. He was old enough, however, after serving an apprenticeship lu a store at Kcnuyliuil Haven, a lew nines ueiow bis native town, to start West in 1858, Ho was in search of health, and lie wus abundantly rewarded, for to-day he la halo ana hearty and well pos sessed of vouthful viuor. Without Having any deunite desti nation In view. Mr. Christ reached Plaltsinouth, Neb., a few weeks after departing from Pennsylvania. Here he remained several months, and in 1859, during tho Pike's Peak excite ment, he decided to see the Bocky mountains. jjm ne inoutrur. ne couiu make the ex tenses of the trip lighter by hauling Into the country a load of freight.

He encountered numerous bunds of Indians, but they were friendly and no trouble was exper fenced, Buflalo and antelope were as numerous as the herds of cattle now are. fceting tnat ins -money was to be made in freighting, Mr. Christ Hume d lately started buck to I'lattsmouth and covered the distance in twenty live days. The proms or tliollrst load were in vested in another wagon and a stock of corn meal. The meal cost SO cents per hundred and sold for $11 In Den ver, clearing 54,000 for Mr. Christ. Four or five trips in succession were made wltu no startling incidents, but each one was finuucially successful. iiut In courso or time the Indians became troublesome ant it was a com mon occurrence to find murdered men along the trail. At Plumb creek he came across twelve men who had been murdered by the Indians. "I was always lucky with the In dians," said Mr. Christ In speaking of nis various exploits. "xuring my forty trips across the plains I never had any trouble with them, and I never carried a gun. I have been in the same neighborhood,with Weight ier wno were mneu.

I would not let my men show any signs of resistance and the chief signalled that we were not to be injured. I invited them all into catnp and made a 'feast' as they called it. After the 'feast,' according to Indian custom, all took seats lu a circle and tne nine wus started. "The Indians remained in camp all night, and in the morning I made them anotner least' anu started on During one of my winter trips I came across a band of Indians with nothing on but blauKets.

I was making a return trip with three other men and had several hundred dollars in gold. A hand of guerrillas came down on us one morning. As good luck would have It.

The guerrillas "held up my companions llrtt.uud while, (be operation was going on I slipped my purse Into the grease box and hadn't a dollar in sight when tiiey reauneu me." The advent of railroads did away with "freighting." and Mr. Christ took una claim on Box Elder creek, twentv miles east of this city, where lin now resides. He does his own cooking and has a reputation all over the country for baiting oiu lasu loned "flan lacks." He Is generous to a fault and popular with all who know him.

What an Eminent Railroader Thinks Reading ropulnr Truins. Those who havo used the Boyal Blue Line between Philadelphia and New York well know that that lino Is deeorvedly ccrcdited as being the Unost piece of rail road In the country ; that its coaches are tho most magnificent, and that its trains are run more smoothly and are the fastest the world. iTo those, however, who have never used the lo al Bluo Line, th following abstract from a letter written by an eminent railroad authority to a gentle man connectod with tbo Beading Bailroad System, will doubtless prove Interesting. After tho usual formal groetings, the letter reads: "I havo just taken my ftrstrideon tho Beading, having com,e over from Now York this morning on your 11.30 a. m. Boyal Blue Line train, and I cannot re frain from congratulating you on being connected with so superb a railroad, "Wo made mile after mile in just CO seconds, and the train ran as smoothly as though not exceeding ton milos per hour. The ap pointments wore first-clasB, and I never had a better dinner or one hotter served on any dining car." , Commendation from tho source whence this came must havo been particularly gratifying to the Bcadir g Bailroad officials. It has alwr.js been the aim of the present Beading management',to provide the very bost for its patrons, and the servico on the Boyal Bluo Line, as well as on other por tions of the System, is conclusive evidenco of success in that diroition. Tbat the dis criminating public appreciate these efforts, and recognize the fact tbat tho Boyal Bluo Line trains are as advertised, tho finest, fastest and safest in the world, is evidencod by the constantly increasing business that line.

Paius, Aug. 12. The report that Ed ward Parker Deacon, now undergoing a year's imprisonment for the shooting of M. Abeille, had received and rejected a proposal from tho iTencu government to the effect that be would be set freo if he would leavo France at once, is con firmed. The idea in making such an offer was to prevent the trial of the Deacon divorce suit taking place in franco. J. no suit la sot for Sept. !28. The French authorities are much dis appointed at the refusal, as their object has boon, if possible, to prevent the trial of Deacon's Bult against his wife for dl vorco, and the exposure to the world of the additional evldenoe going to show her guilty of misconduct with H. AboiUe. Tbey would like to expel Deacon from the country after bis term of imprison ment, but, as they have no ground for auch notion, it is feared that it might call forth a remonstrance on tho part of the American Legation. Therefore the attempt was mode to induce Deacon him self to go as a condition or being liberated, guapeoted Murderers DUcharged. Piiilaoxlpiiia, Aug. 12.
