Aud without waititiK for tho koatler to run tho eiirtiuo out, old Mutt bncketl her on to tho turn tnhle, whery tho wiper swung her around, and then we bunked down to tlm ollloes, where four trinity men aiwu hud tho aqtmro oufo un der the coal. A few minute litter w were coupled onto n half dozeu empty freight ana and a caboose, : "There' your order!" criwl Jimmy O't'omior, tho conductor, alloying up the yellow ulieeta of Uiwnu pnptT.

I Before we rtjiicbed the outtikirU of the town the ruin begun to come down in a perfect deluge.

Eight mill's down wo run past n smnll atnlion where a freight train was Bide trucked. It hrtil perhaps a dozen cura. Junt before we reiMihod It I saw a ruaru dart in between two of tho curs to wscnpe the headlight. I thought him oithor a trainman or a trump, but have since changed mytnlnd. We wero half way down tho llnvor anok griido, with a Mtralglit stroUdt of truck and n long curve before tut, when Mutt looked iicroHa and Hitidl "I'm afraid tho little pimtobourd was only a scare.

It had Junt colli" uu t of cut. On of the bum waa on lire, tha fl.uue training back half a car length, and nutting through tlia air like a meteor. "Khe'a four ntilna behind," aaid old Malt, "nnd coming four fwt to our one, If we can get amend tho curve there' how of her Jumping." And then liegati tlmt terrible ride. Ha hookml 67 tip to tlm Drat notch and tlu'ii oh.i the throttle. With aeveu car t- hliid tu we allot down the grade of 173 feet to Ilia mile. Wity-wevon ant low in her frame, but itery low joint rung hr Udl for an eighth of mile. Hhe jumped and twnyed aud threatened to li-av the rati. The wind (blinked around ua Ilka a thotiiiaud detuona and tha rain poured agaiuitt the window lu a prrfnet tmam. "Tberv'a danger ahead and death ba bind," luuitrd the old engilionr. "If llm rain baweuaa bowlder and drop it on the trnek" 1 ahutldervd. Tliere waa tha blaated piun that marked the curve. The nest m'otul we machet it For a mtmiont 1 thought it waaall over. Then 67 righted. There waa a aharp jerk. We forged ahead Iat-r, and our evven cor cleared the Mad trnd and Went down the bluff Willi a craith that waa heard high above the alarm, leaving a clnta track for the runaway bvhiud that wa coming a wift aud aure aa death. If the runaway got around Uie curve, llw pruliabiliUn were ttiat we would be knix knd from tlin track into the river. We were vwy near to the bottom now, whete the roadlted foliowtvl the river, and the eiitriner were cautioned not to run over liftmu milea wr hour. lint order were not reaped! that uigbt We were making thirty in ilea jwr hour when a flaah of bgbttiing allowed mo that dark itring of cart coining around Um curve.

Almtit a quarter of an inch atiove the hitter, fasten to the Interior sides of the box a piece of wire gtnw having wide minhee. Now procure some flue while sand, pass It through a hulr sieve, and witsh it tlior oughly In water, In order to remove i very particle. of foreign imiltor.

Add tothesand, while hot, a melted mixture of stearic acid and spcnutuxnl In the proportions of six grains of each to one pound of sand. Htlr thoroughly, und when the sand Is cool enough rub It betweeu the bands, lu order that every grain may lie coated with the fatty matter. PIiipo a layer of the prepared sand lu the bottom of tho box nnd carefully ar range there on tho plant to be dried. Then carefully cover tho plant with a thlil layer of sand, and, having placed a sheet of paper ou top of the box, place tho latter in a stove or oven heiitotl to a temperature of ubotit 1W degrees. The desiccation takes place very rapidly. Whoti It is supposed that It Is tlntshcti, remove the bottom of the box, when the sand will pass through the wire gauze, and the plant will remain upon the latter. - Brush tho plant with a badger anil preserve it as will lie direct ed below. The prepared sand adheres but slightly to tho plants and Is alwayi easily removed.

Grant, many of thehi being articles given to him by forclgu klugs aud ruler while on his trip arouud tho world. We also went through the museum of the Smith stui htit Institution, which contain ctilloctlou of rocks and minerals from the different suites and also from tor- eign countries. At twelve o'clock we returned to the capltol building, where we spent the rest of the day listening to speeches j by the members of the house. We took dinner with con gressman from Michigan. There Ua restaurant iu the building for the use of the members. The next day wo left Washington by boat for the home of George Washing ton. We had a very delightful ride down the river for sixteen nuiea. On the way down we panned Fort Wash ington, which was usvd during the Revolutionary War. As we reached the home of Washington, the bell on the boalbcguu tolling. We drat visited the bonne and were shown the various rooms. The one where he died still contains the old betlstead aud covers used by blm, as also does the room lu which Mrs. Washington died. From the house we visited the flower gardeu, which eonUiua some very choice plants. From here we went to the vault lu which his body was laid to rest Looking iu the vault could Ut seen tho marble caskets of Mrs. aud Mr, Washington . We endeavored to get a stone from tho inside of the vault, but the old negro would, not allow It. We picked up a few stones ami shells from Uie farm of Washing ton ua souvenirs of the trip. There U a most beautiful view from this place, as it is on a hill overlooking the Potoiimo river. One can see for miles up and down the river. I pur chased a picture of the house, one of the room lu which he died, and one of the tomb. On returnlug fromMt, Vernou we weut to the mouumeut erected In honor of Washington. It ia built of the finest stone, and Is 555 feet high. We were taken to the top by an elevator. From here we had a tine view of the city. We loft Wash ington last night at t:-0, and stopped over night at Baltimore, Md, After reaching Baltimore, aud finding a hotel to stop at, we took a walk up the biiHlness street We passed through several markets that beat any market I ever saw tu Sau Francisco. We wt re almost uuablo to flud our way back to thc.hotel, as we got confused Iu the directions. We left Baltimore thia luornlugand reached Phlladephia at hulf-pust one. . We will visit old Independence Hall this morning, and then go onto New York city. We expect to be In New York city, and see the corner stone for the Grant monument laid.
