A TAGU ADVENTURE.

Remarkable incident of the Most markable of Paul Boyton's Voyages.

«t

hl« Jlemor-

able 1'lout Through ibe Canyon ..L of Caiara*.

From the Philadelphia Times. Captain Paul Boyton, who is in this city, with his eyes open for an available watercourse in this locality whereon to paddle in his rubb armor, has figured in many thrilling adventures. Alone at night upon dark and freezing waters, uncertain as to his course, with not a star visible in the black vault above him, he has passed fearlessly through dangers that would cause one less lion-harted to quake with terror. His nomadic career has led him on many occasions in daring exploits, the mere mention of which is sufficient to 6end a shiver through the' listner—such, for instance, as making the risky passage of the shark-infested bay in Florida, or paddling from continent ito continent across the treacherous Straits of Gibraltar, Paul Boyton's stout spirit haR kept him undaunted by periU. and he has proven his bravery almost to foolhardiness.

Never but once has the brave voyager feared that the mantle of death was about to enfold him, and, curiously enough, this exception happened in sunny Spain. The adventure occurred in January, '77, is of considerable interest, and has never, so tl.e Captain says, been detailed in public print. In that year Boyton, who had descended the Tiber, Thames, Danube and other rivers, had been surfeited with ribbons, medals, and decorations, and was generally looked upon as a detningod, in the exuberance of his confidence declared that he would make the descent of the Tagus. "The ra»h stranger to float in his devil's dress down the Tagus!" cried the startled senoras, wtien the wonderful storv was whispered abuut. The terrible Tagus! He does not mean it. He would perish of cold. The furious waters would rend him in shreds against the sharp rocks. What manner of man is this mad young American?"

The public laughed at the idea. The American had the heart of a lion, but was as wise as the ostrich, that thinks to conceal itself from the hunter by burying its head in the sand. As well might he attempt to reach the bowels of the earth by passing, salamanderlike, through the fiery Vesuvius Did he ..know that the river sped as an army through a wild region ira'ight with peril, and that for hundreds qf miles it darted through frightful canyons? How many unlucky souls had launched their boats upon its fickle waters and had never again been seen in mortal form! Did not the mothers of Toledo awe their babes to s-lcep. with tales ol the mysterious river—ol its terrible demon, whose shrieks of inhuman laughter were of'en heard by belated shepherds in the midst ot the storms that on sultry summer nights broke over the Tagus? Surely El Captain would admit he haJ only been joking.

But the C.iptain had not been joking, and intimated very plainly that the person who would accuse him of such was what no Spaniard is called without clapping his hand on his dagger. Boyton had said he would descend the Tagus, and be there 100 falls or 10,000 goblins he would brave all and make the voyage or perish in attempting it. The maxim of death before dishonor found particular favor with the Spaniards, and in short order the current of popular opinion whi+lefd around, so that those that had used every effort to disuade the Captain from his undertaking suddenly became its warmest supporters. The remainder of this narrative is best told in Captain Boyton's words.

THE CAPTAIN'S STORY.

uOn

the 7th of January, 1S77/' he

6ars, "1 began my Journey down the Tagus. The weather was extremely cold and a dull leaden sky seemed to the shivering throng around me ominoug of my fate. With many adieus, I slowly paddled from the shore into the center ot the stream, which was shallow and narrow. The senoritas on the banks waved their bright colored scarfs, and I think I noticed some of them weeping. My joints were rather stiff from want of practice and to restore warmth to my body I rapidly increased the power of 6troke. Jagged 6tones were distributed with a rather prodigal hand, as I thought, in the course I was to take, and in my anxiety to keep my eyes on the dear friends" lining the shore, against these I several limes bumped my head with unpleasant velocity. Too soon a bend in the 6tream shut'out the group from vi.*w. Left to my own reflections I began to speculate on the chances of success or failure. 1 thought of my distant home, and a shiver crept through me as I seemed to see with startling distinctness my upturned body, pulseless and inanimate, tossed high on some baren rock by a treacherous rapid. I can not tell why rfiy mind ran on 6uch horrible ideas. Neither before nor since have I felt the same degree of doubt, fear, indecision, perplexity. In my little tender I carried the usual supply of precautionary articles. 1 had plenty of food—but of such a quality! In a water-tight bag were a piece of dried meat (it might havtbeen horse-flesh from its cohesivenesO, about three pounds of hard-tack as obstinate as a rock, and a dozen loaves of alleged bread, soaked to repalsivenes in rancid oil. As 1 banqueted 0.1 these dainties I consoled myself with the trite maxim that visitors to Rome shoulJ model their actions after the example ot that citj 'i inhabitants. •'The Tagus is, perhaps, the most remarkable river I ever navigated. 1 left Toledo, in Spain, and paddled down through that country and Portugal to the Atlantic Ocean, a distance of 850 miles. For over 700 miles it is not navigable for vessels, but wi*ds in an erratic and—to me—annoying manner through the most weird scenery that Spain pos sesses. Between Toledo and the ocean its descent is 3.600 feet.. At its source and for a short distance down the shores are lined with luxuriant trees and grasses, but soon these utterly disappear, giving way to arid and stony banks, which in turn"grow into precipitous mountain sides. For the first three days I paddled along satisfactorily, biitas'the number of days since I began my Journey increased mv troubles augmented Then tny

Ii.

course wound through a continued series of carhyons, whosegloo-ny walls were in places so high and steep that they almost met and nearly hid the sunlight from the yawning chasm beneath. Towards night it required no great stretch of fancy for me to imagine that I was being swiftly carried along through a mysterious subterranean passage. The river was studded with boulders, hurled from the mountain tops by fearful &torms, and often as I was bowled along under the pressure of the roaring wind and rushing current I was thrown against one of these obstacles and my senses nearly shaken from me. "To increase my peril the river was full of falls and rapids of unusual valence. In places a shallow current would dart toward the rockv nrtountainside and then turn at a sharp angle and merge into a deep and peaceful sheet of water. I blessed these havens, for they afforded me a chance of taking a much needed rest. Looking into the clear depth?, I could see hideous fish darting about, but the bottom was a fathomhess pit. Words are wanting to picture the loneliness of my situation. For ten days I saw not a shrub, not a blade of grass, not a single sign of man's abode. Mv diet was nauseating and 1 felt with alarm that I was losing my strength. "One day, it was the twelfth of my journfey, as I was floating on the bosom of sort of a. lake, suddenly I was plunged head-first over a fall and struck with such force against the precipitous wall of the canyon that I lost con sciousnes6. Ilappiiy my rubber suit saved me from what would have been otherwise a certain death. I recovered my senses after an interval, I know not how lontf) and, with a prayer on my lips, was about to resume my voyage, when to mv horror I fourd that tny tender was lost! It had been sucked into a whirlpoo1, probably, and the current was rappidlv bearing me away from the scene. I was nearly frantic. My tender was gone, my hopes were blasted, my life was not worth a straw! The contents of the little float were at that moment as precious to tne as all the wealth that a king could bestow.

TERRIFIED MOUMTAINLTERS "I paddled on for several hours, trusting to find a way out of the river. If I could only find a sheperd generous enough to share with me his frugal meal I was saved. But my hopes were vain Incumbered bv my rubber armor, with waning strength and tremuluos moveMints I made many futile attemps climb the slippery mountain sides, but in every case I tumbled back into the river exhausted. For three days I was ushered on. 1 know not how, by the impetnou* waters. I was ravenous with hunger, rav limbs quivered like aspens, a chill sweat oozed nil over my body, and my brain wai delirous. I swore like a mad man. heaped maledictions upon the Tagus, and at times sang wild snatches of song. To this day I can not account for the superhuman strength given me during those seventy-two hours of agony. The howling of wolves and the hooting of owls during the nights heightened the somber current of my reflections, On the morning of the third day, just after daylight I entered the canyon of Casaras. 1 swallowed a pint or two of water and stood upright in my rubber suit. I listened for he tinkling of a bell,or some other sound that would give token of a habitation. Nothing broke the bilence but the distant fall of waters. As I sank back in the river, in despair, to my jov I thoujjht I satv a dun veil of smoke coming over the edge of the high plateau and falling on the water. My heart beat rapidly as 1 paddled on for five minutes in the direction of the smoke. At last I saw the b'uish haze arising from behind a gigantic rock. With accelerated 6teps I lett the river and clambered along the rocky bank. Several times I slipped and fell, receiving numerous btuUes. "I was compelled to make many detours to reach the plateau, but finally reached it almost dead from fatigue. I peered around the edge of the large rock that I had observed and saw the fire which caused the smoke. A large pot was suspended from a tripod over a fire kindled with sticks and matted grass. The pot contained what I now believe to have been a mess hardly fit for dogs, but which I then judged from the greasy odor to be hardly second to a dish of the gods. Two men, in active conversation, stood near the fire, with their backs toward me, ahd one of them stirred the savory mess while he talked. They were dressed in the garb of mountaineers and were most probably shepherds. Both were clothed in faded garments, but all the colors of the rainbow were there, more or less ob scured by the dirt ot years. My hunger was keen, so I introduced myself without th? tedious ceremonials so highly appreciated in Spanish society. I inflated my dress, and, standing forth in full view, let my paddle fall to the ground. Startled by the noise, the men turned about ana gazed at me in snperstitious terror.

With shrieks of fear they swiftly turned about and scampered off at the top of their speed. Then I went over to the pot and ravenously devoured its halfcooked contents, "scorching my throat and spilling half the food. I never saw mv impromptu host after, nor did I care to see them, in fact. Atter my repast I disrobed of mv armor, and stretching at full length on the sward, wa* soon slumbering. When I awoke I hiJ my rubbercovering, and walked lor a few miles, when I came to a farm house and managed to buy another lot ol greasy bread and ind gtslible hard-tack. From this point to its mouth the river was navigable, and I never more was troubled about food. On the eighteenth day I arrived at my journey end. I was met by the Governor of Casaras his suite and many ladies and and gentlemen who bad anxiously been expecting me. The whole party jde on gayly caparisoned mules to the castle of the Governor, where I received a royal wel come and rested for )a fortnight. Thus ended my navigation of the Tagus, the first and only time that a man had ever descended that terrrible river from its source to its mouth. Perhaps, after many days, the 6tory will be told in whispers among the Spanish peasantry of how, once upon a time, while two mountaineers of Casaras were cooking their morning meal, the devil appeared to them in a horrible form, horns, hoof and tail, surrounded by fire, and caused them to flee for their lives."*

THE xEKKE HAUTIS WEEKLY GAZETTE.

Rend ThW N_

(Hartford Courant.)

Some thirty years ago the New York and New lla\4^i railroad had just begun running on a single track. One afternoon a country boy of about fifteen was standing near the track at a cross-road half wav between Stamford and Darien. He heard a train coming from the latter station just as a New York train came in sight in the opposite direction. He ran to the track and, waving his hat, caught the attention of the engineer, and by his earnest manner and his pointing in the opposite direction, convinced him that a train Mas coming around the bend. He instantly applied the brakes and stopped his train just in time to escape a disastrous collision.

The railroad company expressed its gratitude at the time by the present of a valuable silver cup and a life pass over the road. But this was not all a year or two later the boy was taken into the employ o( the company and instructed in mechanical engineering, for which he exhibited ability. lie was an industrious worker, honest, intelligent and ambitious, and rose to a responsible and lucrative position with the company.

He settled in New Haven, where his worth was recognized, and he was chosen to a number af honorable offices, all which he filled with the same honesty ar.d efficiency. Then the Stamford manufacturing company, one of the largest and most profitable concerns in the stale, sought his services, and here too he continued his successful career. To-day he is a director and general superintendent of this establishment, is a director of the Yale national bank of New Haven, is interested in half a dozen or more profitable manufactories, and is one of the most prominent and respected, as he is one of the best, cit izens ol the Elm City and of the state.

He represents the city at present in the general assembly, his name being John H. Leeds, and his native modesty will probably cause him to object to this brief sketch which is written because the lesson

teaches is a valuably one.

One of Lincoln's Parable*. [Washington Cor. Boston Journal.] A Rabbi of a Jewish Synagogue at Baltimore, who was here often during the war, says very correctly that it w.-.s Lincoln's nature to argue a point, but tha* when persons would come into him with complaints he often gave them his views in a short and comprehensive parable.

He would often thus unravel an intricate and knotty question by his keen and incisive wit as for instance:

Some Western gentleman called at the White House, and harangued Mr. Lincoln in an excited manner about the omissions and commissions of the Administration. He heard them with his usual patience and finally said: "Gentlemen, suppose all the property you were worth was in gold, and you had put it into the hands of Blondin to carryacross the Niagara Falls on a tight rope, would you shake the rope while he was passing over it, or keep shouting to him, 'Blondin, stoop a little more,' 'Go a little faster?' No, I am sure you would not. You would hold your breath as well as your tongue, and keep your hands off until he was safely over. Now the Government is in the same condition, and is carrying across a stormy ocean a great burden untold treasures are in its hands it is doing the best it can don't badger it keep quiet, and it will get you 6afely

Grow Beautiful. [Selected.]'

Human beings may outgrow disease and become healthy by proper attention to the laws of their physical constitution.

By moderate daily exercise and suitable food, any person who has no hereditary disease may become strong in limb and muscle. But is there any process by which people may grow beautiful

Live as we may, age dims the lustre of the eye, and pales the flush of the cheek, while crow feet and furrows and wrinkles and lost teeth, and gray hairs, and bald heads, and tottering limbs, and limpen feet, most sadly mar the human form divine. But while this is true, dim as the eye is, and pallid and sunken as may be the face of beauty, and frail and feeble that once 6trong, erect and symmetrical form, the immortal soul just fledging its wings for Heaven, may look out through those faded windows as beautiful as a dewdrop on a summer's morning, as melting as the tears that glisten in affection's eye— by growing kindly, by cultivating sympathy with all human kind, by cherishing forbearance towards the follies and foibles of our race, and feeding day by day on that love of God and man which lifts us from the brute and makes us akin to •ngels.

Clerical FM1IIN

[Knickerbocker Letter.]

The children of New York clergymen rarely follow the profession of their fathers. This is peculiarly true of the Fifth avenue preachers. Garden Spring, the former pastor of Brick church, left a family of sons, not one of whom sought the ministry. James W.Alexander, another Fifth avenue divine, left three sons, two of whom are in the Equitable Life Insurance company, and a third is a college professor. The most striking exception to this rule is found, in the Tyngs. Stephen H. Tyng, sr., had three sons in the ministry. The oldest, Dudley, who was a man of remarkable talent, died earlv. The second, who bears his father's name, is the highly esteemed rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, and the third, M«iris also in the nainfaiy.
