Maine Paving Most American Cities.

The OHtput of Maine graMite quarries for the last calendar year proves that the state has an important place in supplying paving stones for American cities. The value of the total granite product for the state was $1,551,036— $300,000 more than in 1893—and half of it was usod for paving the thoroughfares of municipalities, some far to the west and the south. This is according to the statistics in the forthcoming report of the United States geological survey in the department of stone products, prepared by Dr. William C. Day of Swarthmore college and Professor William A. Raborg. The total value of Stone products in the state for 1894 is $2,507,963.—Lewiston Journal.

THE GRAND CANYON.

EDITH SESSIONS TUPPER'S GLOWING DESCRIPTION OF IT. ...

She Says It Is the Most Stupendous Thing

on Eartli and Advises Americans to See

It Uefore Going Abroad—A Marvelous

Leap.

[Special Correspondence.]

FLAGSTAFF, A. T.. —I have seen the most stupendous thing on earth, the Grand canyon of the Colorado river.

It is, I suppose, the only scenery on the globe that does not disappoint. After you have staged 65 miles across the plains of Arizona you are naturally rather irritable and begin to reckon how many kinds of a fool yon are for quitting the comforts of a sleeping car and braving this wild, remote region. But when you leave the stage at the camp you hasten at once up the hill to calculate ?Ls quickly as possible the extent of your imbecility. Up through the odorous pine forest you trudge, and as you reach tho summit, suddenly, without any premonition, the earth yawns beneath you! You stand upon the brink of the bottomless pit. Terrible! An indescribable emotion seizes you. You wish to topple forward, to fling yourself into that afrful chaotic chasm. You recoil, step back and lift your eyes, and, lo, the gates of paradise seem swinging before you, and through them you sec the walls and ramparts and golden streets of a city not made with hands.

And that is just what the Grand canyon is—a combination of regions infernal and cclestiiSl. I aiu not going to try to describe it, for before its'" superhuman majestv^its splendor, its loveliness, words become" as sounding brass and as at inkling cymbal. I wisli only to say that as I stood there and looked at it first, Hooded with tho soft golden and VSoleC lights of sunset, I longed for a trumpet to send forth a clarion call over this vast country and to cry: "Stop, stop, Americans-! Do not go abroad! Look at your own country first. Come here and see what God has wrought."

How to Get There.

I wish in this letter to tell Americans something df the way to reach the Gnwtd canypn, what to expect in^tho way pf fura and entertainment, how to dress and to give a few other practical hints and facts regarding this vet almost unknown land. First, if you fancy that you can make the

trip on flowery beds of ease, live on truffles, mushrooms find quail, take Saratogas filled with expensive finery to flaunt before tho natives of Arizona, don't go—with a very laj'go capital D.

But if you love nature so well that for her sako you can endure certain discomforts and are prepared to rough it in order to look upon,a scene which \vill blazon ,'^nd burn its iimige into your memory forever and aye, which will niovo you if you have one little bit of soul in your body, then go—with a very large capital G. And go quickly, before the railroad, which tho great Santa Fe system is suro to build within the next few years, shall penetrate this tremendous wilderness and firing the world, the flesh and the other fellow to these sublime precincts.

For now one of its greatest charms is that it lies remote, alone in its awful grandeur, a thing apart from all tho world, wrapped in primeval silence, demanding due homage from tho pilgrims who travel from afar to kneel at its terrible shrine.

A Long Stage Ride.

You leave tho railroad at Flagstaff, A. T., a typically rough frontier town. If possible, get away at once to the canyon, for the only hotel in tho town is an impossible place for cleanly people. Moreover, yon cai) eat nothing which 4s set before you. This place is noted for its very bad cooking. In many of the roughest mining camps of Colorado I have 'had much better fare. Mr. Thurber, who runs t|ie stages to the canyon, is an accommodating man and will send tourists on any hour they wish to go, although the guidebooks advertise tho stages as running but threo times a week. While I was there a New York man came into tho camp at 2 a. m., having been sent by special delivery -from Flagstaff. So thero is no reason why you should stop and suffer in tho town. The stage ride is one of 70 miles. There are three relays of horses, on the route, and a stop is made midway at Cedar Ranch for dinner. The first and last stages of the journey are very pleasant, as the trail winds through grand forests of pino unincumbered with any underbrush. For miles on cither side you can look far down long' aisles of green flooded with golden sunshine. The two middle stages are not so agreeable, as you drive over tjiose endless 'Arizona mosas through clouds of blinding dust. It's not warm, though. I expected to bo grilled alive, but lp July, crossing thestf plains, I wore a tHira jacket and had a heavy wool robe across my lap and was none too warm.

The lriver.

Fortunate indeed will you bo if jjpu get tho box seat with Robert Ferguson, drivep. Ferguson, a handsome brawny ScotchAmerican, has wintered for seven years down in the canyon. He knows every nook and corner of it, every bit of light and shade. Ho understands its every mood, he tells you in wonderfully beautiful language just how it looks after a thunderstorm when the silver mists are lifting from its hiddon charms as a -lovely woman slowly lifts her veil, or how the moonlight touches its crags and pinnacles, bringing out its contours with new attraction, or how the sunrise floods it with a light that never was on sea or land. Ferguson is the man who filled out Powell's pack trgin for his flrist explorations of the canyon, and he tells you many interesting stories of tho daring explorer. He lets you. drive, t«o, arid shows you how to handle the four-in-hand and enlightens you as to the tricks of jibe letulers'and in every way helps to make ihp tedlous'jonrneypaSs quickly. He's a sharacter, is Ferguson—typic&lly 'Western,Whole souled, breezy, chivalrous, a rOUgh

Sir Walter Raleigh who puts his corduroy jacket under your feet for a footstool. When you reach the camp, you fafl into the hands, not of the Philistines, but the Tolfrees and "Ming." The Tolfrees are California folks who come to the cayyon every summer to take care of the wayfarers, and "Ming" is the Celestial who does the cooking. Now, remember, you are 75 miles from a railroad. Every vegetable, every steak, every egg is brought that distance by stage. But when you sit down to a beautifully clean table in the dining tent and eat a d'eliciously cooked, appetizing meal, daintily served you by two blond Hebes, the pretty Tolfree girls, you rub your eyes and wonder whether you are awake.

Tho bods, too, are excellent, Clean and comfortable, and as lying in your tent you listen to the never ending soughing of the wind through tho pines you think that wild and woolly Arizona is not a half bad placo after all. You will leave that camp regretfully—peaceful, restful place that it is!—and more than once will you think of "Ming's" cooking—those delicious pies, that cake, tlioso flapjacks'

John Uanee"s I*eril.

All the way from Albuquerque you have been hearing about John Ilajice. Hance has lived at the camp for 13 years. He owns two trails into the canyon, has apeak named for him and is possibly the most distinguished citizen in that sparsely settled locality. But perhaps his chief claim to consideration arises from the fact that he is undoubtedly tho fthiyn-pioii .American fakir. Whether it is because ho has lived alone so much, sometimes not hearing the sound of a human voice among those awful solitudes for six months and has fallen into thefhabit of inventing yr -H-s to pass tho time I know not, but certainly .Munchausen must, hang his head before John Hance. I was- warned before I went to the camp, "Bo sure and get him to toll you the story of his horse's jumping over into the canyon." So whtio we sat in his daintily swept and freshly scrubbed log cabin, hanging on the rim of the canyon likean eagle's liest to a tree, after much entertaining conversation I said, "Captain, what 'was tho. greatest peril you were overexposed to'?" "Waal," ho said promptly, "I reckon •'twas wlv-'i) my boss jumped right clean over tho precipice and fell over 3,000'feet, with me on his back." "Dear me," I said, "'and you lived?" "Why, yes! 'Tain't so easy ter kill John Hance. I reckon I hain't sense enough tor git killed. My hossjrot scared at same mountain sheep and droje 'em right over into fhocanyoii I seen lie was a-goin after 'em, and I ses, 'Now, John, hang on,' and I jest give him the whip and spur and over wo weut& Now, mind ye, while he Was a-fallin I was a-ridin, and jest before wo struck the bottom of the canyon I jumped off, and so saved my life. Ho went on and was dashed to pieces."

All this without a blush or tremor of tho eyelids. TherdSvas silence for the space of half a minute, and tber, while the Harvard professor who was with mo looked sadly at the floor, I :itl, "New,'captain, I know just as well as you that lam a tenderfoot, but you can't expect me to believe that yarn."

Ktronj Proof.

"I never tall no storie. I can't prove," replied John Hanco oi.'Arizona. "Come" here, mom." And le:u! ng mo to the doorway of his cabin he pointed down 13,000 feet into tho canyon. "Right down there, do you see that white sppl? Yes.? Waal, the-nrs-. tho bones of that fhar critter a-bleaohin." "Most remarkable theory in physics," mused the Harvard professor as we walked buck to camp. "The horse falling, you notice, ahd llan,ce wis riding. Astounding!" And he shook his head gravely. Subsequent-- investigation proved "that them bones a-bleachin" were tho remains of a pack horse belonging to a cowboy. John evidently found "them bones" and wove his delightful Httlo story around them.

Hanco takes people down'thc trails into the canyon and charges for his pack horse and his company §12 a day for each person, which of course is not exorbitant when you consider the entertainment he provides. It is a frightfully rough trip for a lady and seldom undertaken. A woman must ride astride going down. She should provide herself with equestrian tights, hiafccloth gaitbrsor leggings, thick shoes one or two sizes too large for her feet and a very short skirt. A loose blouse of silk or some wash fabric and a hat which shades the face are absolutely necessary. An Alpine stick will bo found useful on the return if one wearies of tho horse and wishes to walk awhilo. Men should provide themselves with high boots such as tho miners wear o^-leather leggings coming to tho lcnces. Never go into tho canyon without whisky and amnibnia^ in caso of rattlers. The best plan t©'follow in visiting the bottom of tho canyon'is to go down one day, stay all night at Haiice's winter dabin and return the next morning. The viow at night looking up tho canyon walls is indescribably magnificent.

Into the Gorge.

It is an event when tho little procession leaves the camp to take the trail down into the awful gorge. First goes tho great Hanco himself, scolding because so few are riding horses. Then you- come, feeling like a scarecrow and assuredlylooking like one. The pack horse, laden with provisions, blankets, etc., brings up tho rear. Everybody comes out of the tents to wish you good'by and good luck. Tho dflg,'barks, "Ming"*waves a towel of farewell, tho pines- shut out the friendly camp from your sight, and you begin your descent into the unearthly chasm. Seven thousand feet down lies'the river, and to reach it yoh must rido^ix miles.

Two hundred milqs -away you see a mountain peak in Utah, and the canyotj itsolf stretches before you, one vast, gigantic rent in the earth's crust, miles from rim to rim. And out of this tremendous ghsh rise temples, py^mrids, domes, castles, cathedrals, towers, ramparts, fortifications, hugo monoliths and obelisks and spires, hobgoblin and elfish faces and shapes, streets and boulevards of ruined cities hurled together aS if the hand which had caused this chaos had flung them from him in righteous wrath. And, brooding above all, the softest, bluest sky, the most glorious sunlight, the fleeciest of clouds. The wholo superb panorama is suffused with soft violet and crimson light. The coloring of tho cliffs ranges from palest pink to deepest red, with bands iffcbrown, gray, white, yellow and blue. Coloring, shape, size, vastucss, beauty, sjurround and overwhelm you. You aro crushed with your own insignificance. You are transported to the very portals of paradise.
