"OUR UNKNOWN WONDERS.

Clack Canon In the Summit of the Big Horn Mount Ainu—Where It la, and g*', What It In Like.

Over the hills and far away, sixty or seventy miles beyond Fort Custer, M.

f"T.,

and to the southwest mother earth has two enormous pashea in her face. "Tea miles beyond old Fort Smith, with 5te well kept cemetery, wherein repose the bones of a gallant band of regulars 'who fell victims to the Sioux in 1867, •these gashes meet at a somewhat acute angle, and beyond their convergence spreads and winds the valley of

Big: Horn. Of the longer of these wounds in the countenance of the world a good deal has been written,and "Sor years tfye B?g Horn canon has 3been regarded ni -one of the wonders of a wonderful region. But of canons the "West a plethora, and the more ffltriking marvels of the adjacent Yellowstone Park have claimed attention to the exclusion of other topographical ^phenomena. Striking, even grand, in any land, however, would be that oth'«rgaSh'which joins the" Big Horn and is known in the vicinity as the Black «anon. Crow and Siotwc have known and, of settletrappers and

the mighty fi-.sufe "for vears, -course, rumors of it reached the settlements through the hardy trappe hunters of the later sixties. 'Hardy

and utterly devoid of fei must those same trappers havo been, for Black «anon yawns where, up to 1871 or 1872, the fiercest of fierce Indians could be iound—or would find the intruder—at almost any day in th* year. To General Sheridan and party belong the honors of first exploration, which occurred in 1871, during one of the long plain and mountain trips of that otRHW»»\

and it is understood that ho gave tbe gash the name it bears. Black canon is reft in the very summit of the Big Horn mountains, and vawns for a somewhat tortuous length of thirty miles, stretchingfrom its junction with the canon, through which the Waters of the liig Horn river force thoir way, southeastward into Wyoming,and aalniost to the boundaries of the National Park. It has never been thoroughly .explored, but, except at the southernial st extremity, maintains a nearly uniform depth of 2,000 feet. As Westerners well know, mountains in theso jmrts are treeless and rise to the snow jine or bevond in gr.idual and rounded slopes. There is not the slighest indication of tho Black canon until one reaches its very verge, and the effect of the contrast between its densely-wood-ed sides, whoro "tho tall pines, like funeral plumes/' wave to and fro and sing ceaselessly, and the treeless acclivities behind is an unique as can be inuigined. Well is it named "Black," for tiie.se same pines, massed as they are with naught but the denser foliage displayed, give an air of Erobus itself to tho whole huge tissurc. Bringing into moro marked eft'ect the sonlbernoss of the greater portion of the canon 4vre huge white cliffs, perfectly porpeniicular, and with their sheer height of more than a third of a mile towering

He would be a queer American who, Rooking down into this chasm, did not feel an immediate and irresistible desire to penetrate tho depths and look op. To accomplish this is arduous, but neither difficult nor dangerous. Two or three miles south of the debouching of tho Big Horn canon

A

bridle path

leads to the bottom of the Black. It is partly a bed of a stream which depends upon tho rainy season for its flow and partly a track made by bears, elk or deer, terraced as it were in tho very eido of the steepness. From the entrance to the deep wood to the bottom 4latoau is about a mile and three-quar-ters by this path, and over all but a half-mile it is possible to ride. Steep AS

the side of a ho so in almost every part, but winding sufficiently to allow tho line of direction to be maintained Within one's base a careful horse can make good progress until more than halfway down. Then must his rider ^dismount, for what was steep before becomes precipitous now, and the footway, instead of being hard and even, is •covered with sand, earth, loose stones and other detritus from the towering

Isides above. Both horse and rider must »lide and as in the middle of the steepest part the path bends round a large rock, at an acute angle, while to the light yawns a precipico hundreds of feot in depth, one has the elation which comes of semi-danger after he has passed this evil half-mile and remounts for the last and comparatively easy halfmile of descent, with the complacency of him who has encountered and overcome obstacles. Yet it isn't really very dangerous, since the loose earth helps to hold one back, and a number of army ladies have made the descent in |erfect iiafety, but with more or less «dauiago to habiliments.

Once landed on the perfectly level surface at the bottom of the big canon, the explorer finds that the sides do not xneel at the bottom, as they seemed to 4o when looked at from above, but aro separated by from a few hundred feet to a quarter of a mile. The huge bare vails of rocks are even more impressive when seen from below, and seem to be like the battlements of some huge eastle erected by Titans and wortbv of defense by the Olympian gods.

Black canon is not so inaccessible as to make a journey thereto either tedious or tiresome, and in the near future it will be a place of favorite resort with sight-seers. Then will come the utilitarian, and the puff, whirr and buzz of the steam sawmill, turning into '^first clear" those mighty millions of pines, will usurp the stillness and frighten away forever the speckled denizens of the "crystal creek.—SL Paul Pioneer Press.

Dab^MebsndNaegar. A

The above species of Nile craft have occasionally been referred to in cable dispatches, so that a description of them by a correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph does not come amiss, tie writes as follows: A dahabieh is a vessel which may be 60 feet or 100 feet in length and 12 feet or 20 feet in breadth. She may have one or two masts, but the foremast, with its long lateen sail, is its main dependence for speed in sailing. "A well-appointpd dahabieh is completely "decked over, and has state-rooms rich in paint, gilt moulding^ curtains, mosquito-nets, and marble baths, etc. The nuggar, at its best, scarcely even attains the dignity of savage-brother relationship to the dahabieh. It is an open boat, from 80 to 40 feet long and 15 to 20 feet wide. Everything about it is of native make and fashion, from the rough-hewn, knotty, cross-grained mimosa or 6ont-wood timbers and planks to the date-palm fibre ropes. The beams are gnarled saplings, for it apDears impossible for any other tree than the date-palm to grow straight in this country. A few crooked planks fore and ait to stand upon enable tue crew to work ihe boat. hen you wish to pass to stem or stern across the intervening chasm*, you havo to spring from beam to beam like a cat, or crawl around by the gunvale. Often the outside plan king looks as short, criss-cross, and patchy as a chess-board, except that the pieces fail to fit together and the joints are open and gaping enough to thrust your shut hand into the nuggar's sides. The water is kept out by bits of skin and caulking ot' mud and cotton. As you make the journey up the Nile by nuggar the chink of the cau king-iron continually resounds in your ears, and when the craft is straining and quivering in the leaping water amid the cataracts the "clink-thud," "clink-thud" becomes as gruesome as tho fog-horn on board ship in the English Channel. Tho nuggar has very little shear, or rise, fore and aft. She usually is 7 or 8 l'eet deep. Her flat and round build enables her to skim over the troubled river, so that with a load of eight to ten tons she draws something less than four feet. The helm is a frame of rough planks as big as a church door, and the tiller a fourteen feet log. The lateen sail is often as bir as a dahabieh's, but it is always old and of elaborate patchwork cotton rags from castaway garments, covering and binding hundreds of rents and tears.

vli jp Musio and Insanity. J'-' V.'W"' The theory of tho close connection between music and insanity was never more closely established than in the recent case of Mr! Bertram Bolter of this city, who was an inmate of a private asylum here for ten years. At the expiration of that term he suddenly recovered his reason, and was able to

fe

ive a perfectly lucid account of how had lost it. In 1878 Mr. B. lived next door to a boy who was learning to play the piano. The lad was an ardent young musician, and one night played "Come, Birdie, Come," 1S9 times in succession in order to learn it properly. Mr. Bolter was found on the floor of his bedroom next day, devouring a Eureka hair-mattress, and a raving maniac. On recovering his reason he told the abovo facts to his keeper, who, forgetting that hearing the tune again might agitate his patient, said thoughtlessly: "Why, that's rather a pretty tune, I always thought. Goes something like this, don't itP" and he whistled the first four bars plaintively. "How's thatP" he said. "Is that like itP" But the queiy was in vain. His jaw had fallen, and Mr. Bolter was dead.—ban Francisco News-Letter.

A Conscientious uror.

Several years ago The Evening Bulletin was sued for libel for its discussion of the marble work in the public buildings. It proved every point that it had made, and the jury evinced ita belief of the fact by finding for the

He was a colored gentleman, and he obstinately held out for a long time against the verdict, and his stubborn argument was: "Ef you's gwine to gib the plaintiffs anything, gib 'um sumfin what's wurf sumfin. The eleven argued the case with him for an hour or so,, without getting any other response from him, until at last it oo eured to one of the jurymen to ask him what he would consider as "wurf sumfin" in the way of damages. "Well," said the intelligent colored getAlcman, "Gib um sum tin wurf sumfin. Gib um a dollah. enny howl" He was finally persuaded that a cent was the regular form for such a verdict, but he probably still holds to the oonvie that the damages ought to have win sumfia."—Pktiartelfikia BuleUtu

The* Way in Which the Boats are Hauled1 Through the Rapid*,

ceased to take

{ooking

cataracts. Lord Wolseley and several of his staff rode out this morning to Bab-el-Kebir with the object of seeing one novel appliance tested. Before their arrival there Col. Butler had succeeded in getting the first whaler hauled through by the'tiid of most primitive gear.

Some naval officers, who are naturally a little jealous that a work essentially in their own line has not been intrusted to them, did not hesitate to predict disaster as the only possible result of such a bold enterprise. Col. Butler, firmly relying on a vast experience in river navigation, was ready to stake his* reputation on the venture, and events have proved that the faith in himself was not misplaced. Comparatively few men were employed in the labor of hauling* and they had nothing but short towing ropes to depend on. Stout spars had been hung by ropes from rocks, so that they just touched the rushing stream and acted as fenders but these would have been of small use to save the boat from destruction if once the swift current and turbulent whirlpools had swept her out of hand. No such mishap occurred, fortunately, and we were informed- that the whole labor of taking her from the foot of the foaming rapid into smooth water and safety occupied less than a quarter of an hour.

What Lord Wolseley witnessed was a much more elaborate, but even less prolonged, operation. For this Commander Hamroil, chief executive officer of the naval detatchment, had been intrusted with all responsibility. Across the head of the cataract he had caused to bo rigged a stout guiding rope, from which blocks an'd tackle were suspended. Through one of these ran a line that was attached to the boat at one end, and hauled at by men on shore at the other. Through the second block a "pennant" rope ran, and was made fast to rocks on the opposite side, with a block for slacking off at the proper moment. Light guy-ropes lor keeping the boat's head steadily up-stream completed tho equipment. The whaler was brought into smooth water at the foot of the torrent, and there kept until everything was ready, with her crew of four hundred Nubians on board.

One naval officer wished to go in her, but was induced to abandon the experiment by Lord Wolseley's request. At a signal from Commander Hammel the men began to haul the -light boat shot athward the rapid—was caught by a whirling eddy and stopped as if struck by a resistless blow, then darted across to tho opposite side, then out into midstream again, where water poured over her bows enough to have swamped any but a very steady craft. Then there was another strain on the ropes,' she slowly glided out of the rush of water, the pennant was slacked off, and in ten minutes from tho start she was hauled into a secure haven.

Both experiments having proved eminently successful, there would seem to be nothing now to stop the rapid transit of boats through this the most difficult of all cataracts north of Dongola. As twcnty'or thirty boats can easily be taken by portage every day, and at least an equal number hauled through Bab-el-Kebir, the labor of getting all up to Sarrasneed not occupy more than a fortnight. If for native labor that of English soldiers could be substituted the"work might still be more rapidly performed. As a native officer put it, he "only wants a little beef at the end of the hawsen" to get the nine hundred whalers through in a week.,

FROM THE CORPORAL. From the Marine Barracks, Pensacola, Florida, Corporal Ben. Barger writes of the benefits of Brown's Iron Bitters in that malarious region. Hesaya: "I have used several bottles and must say I am greatly benefited by using it. Several of my comrades uee Brown's Iron, think it is the greatest thing on earth This kind of testimony comes from all quarters concerning Brown's Iron Bitters—the best tonic.

The First Bank.

It is one of the most remarkable of phenomena that the first bank ever established won a success unequaled in later times. The Bank of Venice had its origin in 1171, from a forced public loan, raised to fit out a fleet, and is the first appearance of a public funded debt. Every citizen was obliged to contribute the one-hundredth part of his possessions. The persons assessed were then organized as a Chamber of Loans for their common protection and for tho rece pt of the yearly interest of four per centum. Subsequently its creditors were permitted to transfer their claims in wnole or in part The government, finding that these transfers were in demand, reduced the rates of interest until no interest was paid. Afterward it sold cash inscriptions of credit on its books. Those inscriptions cost gold, but were not convertible into gold. As a matter of fact, although termed a bank, its issues were government paucr, and its business was carried on solely for the benefit of the public treasury. This bank Is still one of the foremost financial institutions in the World. For 200 years the Bank of Venice stood alone.

At the secession of the confederation in 1861, and with the muster of confederate troops, the entire male portion of the Small neighborhood enlisted. Before he went to the army Jes-e visited^ promised each Rebecca. The lovers other that they would never wed until the country had been saved, and a democratic administration restored. During the bitter years of conflict that followed Rebecca heard but once or twice from Jesse. One letter tqjd her that he had been shot' and mortally wounded on the battlefield of Manassas. She had no hope of ever seeing him again. One bright sunshiny morning, near the close ot the war,

Jesse returned

Alter the last column of figures in the official count had been added up and the democratic majority was announced 1,147, Jesse and Rebecca began their preparations to seal a contract that had stood inviolate for tweniy-three years. To duly celebrate the occasion it was agreed to ma)io a U'ip to Louisville and solemnize the nuptials while there.

At 2:55 yesterday afternoon Jesse Small and Rebecca \Voodson arrived in tho fjity.

"Nagging" as An Art.

1

The female nagger is the exact counterpart of the male bully. The household bully of the ordinary variety maj be described as one who is maniacally intolerant of household defects in small things, who has a ludicrously inflated notion of what is due to him as tht bread-winner and center pillar of the establishment, and who has never seriously attempted tho discipline of controlling his more disagreeable humors Mean and contemptible as, from the point of view of the social moralist, this creature is, he is not probably the cause of as much positive discomfort, and even misery, as his equivalent oi superior, in petticoats. Men worry and fidget, and occasionally rap out violent words with ill-conditioned vehemence, and, in the judgment of feminine critics, generally demean themselves as brutes. But if nagging as a fine art is to be studied, women alone can illustrate it in its perfection. The first thing to be said about this delightful little feminine idiosyncrasy is that it is not so much a momentary failing of temper as an inborn trait of disposition. The lady who nags in the most accomplished and the most aggressive fashion never give way to violence, and is famous for the ease and evenness of her spirit. She is tranquility and dignity personified. If her manner is ever criticised, she remarks with perfect truth that she has done nothing, said nothing, and that she only wishes to be left alone. But articulate speech is quite unnecessary for the most trying attacks which the nagger can made. A certain little laugh, the slightest of noises which accompanies the process of clearing the throat, a look, or persistent silence may be quite enough. To nag effectually, there must be a distinct kind of "raw established, and, when this has been done, it will depend almost exclusively upon the artistic aptitude of the nagger whether enough cayenne pepper is rubbed into the sensitive part. Nagging, in other words, must be relative. '1 he lady who nags must know when, and whether she can render the existence of her victim a temporary burden by speech or silence. —Harpers Bazar.

Discussion of the

metric reform, says the report, has digressed so that the chief benefits it promises are in danger of being lost sight of. Besides being a system (which our unrelated old weights and measures notoriously are not) the mettrie system is decimal, and has the same advantage as our decimal money, which was adopted by act of congress a century as:o, but which was brought into complete use by our people only after years of annoyance from conflicting coinages and reckonings—suoh an annoyance as inevitably accompanies the introduction of any improvement. Let us now adopt the meter, gram, and liter, to complete the process of decimalization. If, excepting the temporary inconvenience and expense of a change, there is any reason why we should adhere to the yard, pound, and gallons, then let us for the samo reason return to our heriditary pounds sterling, shillings, and pence, and not stultify ourselves by acting inconsistently in the two similar cases. There ought to be a correspondence between our coinage system and our weights and measures for the sake of convenience. *. That decimal subdivision of weights and measuros. is destined to prevail here is a plain inference from the fact that decimals of the old units are perpetually being used, in spite of (heir incongruity with the old established subdivisions.

Surveyors have Used decimals of the acrcvand decimals of the furlong (the chain still

used

on United States public

land surveys as well as in England and her colonies) and they now use decimals of tho loot in measuring land and in measuring vessels for tonnage. Decimals of the ipch are used by machinists, on guaging-rods for casks, to oxpress size of wires and shet't-motais, etc. Some mills use decimals of the hour and astronomers use decimals ot tho day, hour, and minute. The British authorities provide standard small weights, which are decimals of tho ounce and the grain. Yet tho awkward relation of those decimals to the other recognized subdivisions is always making trouble. Mitch more acceptable,, then, must be decimals which are themselves the standard subdivisions, and which harmoniao with all parts ol a complete system they are to be had by adopting the metric units.— Springfield Republican.

Chinese Wash Names I

The names one sees scattered ovor the town projecting on shingles from the Chinese laundries are not ihe names of the proprietors, as many suppose, but of the laundries. They try to get a high sounding title, just as people in the country do with anew hotel or other enterprise. "Sam Wah" means the three harmonics, which is the leading idea of Buddhism—heaven, earth and man. "Sam Lee" means the threefold profit. "Van Le or Li" (they vary in the spelling according to the district they come from) means profit a thousand fold. "I pun van li means "I for capital, 10,000 for profit" "Hop Li" means harmony and profit. Few, if any, of the Chinamen in the eastern cities have any name. They are of the Vagrant class, the lowest of the low. A Chinaman of any prominence, even an artisan, changes his name three limes. He receives a name from his father as an infant, he gets a book name when ho goes to school and be receives bis true and official name when he marries%
