Somehow the camp was down on
Wash. He had given away loads of
money, but always after a fashion of his
own. When old Doe. Selby was knocked
ont by the leading saloon-keeper, and
nearly died in the snow, Wash took him
np, learned his history, and sent enough
money to his family East to educate his
ehtldren. That was well enough, but
he told the saloon-keeper that he "ought
ter be hong;" and in the present crisis
the old fellow waa not idle in advising
people to let that fool Missourian alone.
There had been some who would have
stood by Wash in a different fashion,
and "seen him through" to their last
dollar or last drop of blood. . But none
of them were left in the old camp; they
were scattered over the Pacific Coast
from Panamint to Cassiar; sane of them
lay silent undnr pine-tree slabs on the
hills west of the river.
Wash's hair grew gray and thin. He
stooped lower and lower. Deep lines
were graven in his face, and his eyes be
came fierce and terrible. Men met him
in the gulches trapping game, or down
in the streams with his fish-nets, and
passed him by without" a word. Pros
pectors, climbing over the hills, heard
the sound of bis pick as he toiled in bis
tunnel, and laughed him to scorn. "Be

It was an afternoon in October. The
saloon-keeper sat on the bench by his
door reading a newspaper. He heard a
noise at the head of the street; the vil
lage boys were shouting: "Here comes
the crazy Missourian miner." Wash.

The Sad Story of a California Min
ing Camp.
' Ophlr was the most prosperous min
ing camp on the western slope of the
Sierra, and Wash Bonner was the most
prosperous miner it contained. His
claim, the "Blue Juniata," was paying
enormously, and Wash had become very
popular; for he gave away his money aa
Seat as be made it Wash was a tall.
good-humored Missourian, lean, light
laired and sleepy. No one gave him
credit for much energy or ambition, and
the accident by which he had stumbled
npon his claim when the camp was first
nettled was told far and wide as a
fit "fool luck."
It happened thia way: The oamp be
gan as a placer camp, and all the
"olalms" along the stream or on the
flat were taken up, when Wash, a tall
greenhorn of a new-comer, drifted in
without a dollar to his name, and stood
watching the sailor company of run a
ways from ships in San Francisco bay.
as they took out their "ounce to the
man" from the best washings in the
camp.
"What are you lookibg at, young tel
low?" said the captain of the company.
"Why don't you stake out a claim?"
, "All taken," said Wash, slowly.
1 "Go up on the top of the hill by them
eaks, said the man, winking at his
comrades. "More there than here."
Wash borrowed a pick, went to the
laoe indicated, and in an hour devel
oped the most famous mine of the dis
trict It was a curious pooket-mine in
a loose, broken formation; and though
very one rushed to the place and
Staked out the whole hillside, no other
claim ever paid a tenth part as much as
the "Blue Juniata."
In the course of time, as the region
became settled and men with families
came in. Wash fell in love with the
pretty daughter of a farmer in the Sac
ramento valley. He reviewed the past,
nunareo. toousana aoiiars had come
ut of his mine, and he had nothing left
to show for it He resolved that if the
gin wouio. nave nim ne would never
waste another cent He went to the
claim, struck a "pocket," and took out
more than a thousand dollars, the larg
est yield of a single day in the history
of the mine. Then he quit work, went
to the town, "spruced himself up," drove
down Into the valley, called on the girl,
proposed, and was accepted.
"Jennie," said Wash, "you've got to
take me, ef you want me, jest as if I
hadn't any mine, an' wasn't worth a
picayune."
"I do," said Jennie: "its you I care for
for, wash."
A month later they were married, and
began housekeeping in a little house of
white pine, built near the mine. Then
Wash began the regular development of
ftis claim.
For six months he kept up courage,
though not a dollar had come from it in
an mat time, rney uvea on what was
left of the thousand dollars after the
wedding expenses were taken out
Then, one day. Wash said: "Jennie,
the boys think the old mine is played
ut; but I don't I'll never give it up
While I live. I'll find a bigger pocket
In that mountain-aide than any man
ever yet struck in California."
) He olimbed the hill and began work
n a tunnel whfch should strike the
jbroken, gold-bearing ledges at a lower
point than he had yet reached.
Months more passed over the heads of
. the miner and his wife. One after an
. other their friends deserted them; their
credit gave out, and they lived on game,
fish and berries, so that the little money
they had could all be spent for blasting
powder. Every morning at daybreak
Wash, gaunt and silent, went to his
work; every night at dark be stumbled
home to his cabin.
"Jennie," he said, "I know there is
' gold there. We will find it soon. I
. never before "worked a month in the old
mine' without taking out something.
. This dead-lock baa lasted more than a
year. It can't last always. I will find
the lead again, and then we will let the
to him:
"Evening, Mr. Riley."
"I can't do any thing for you."
"Mr. Riley, listen to me. I hain't a

goods and worked in the mine together
this month. Jennie's held the drill
whileldruvit I can't get a pound of
powder, but the holes are all set in the
face, ready. Something tells me that
this time it will touch gold. I can feel
it just ahead. I ve felt it all along;
but now it's right thar, within reach of
one more blast 1 tell you, Kiley, 1
know it's thar."
'You're crazy, Wash."
"Riley, you've got money. Give me
one keg of powder, an' I'll make you a j
riohman. I'llI've you half we take out
You don't know how I've worked this
year. I've hammered from daylight te
dark, gone hungry and slept cold, an'
fell down in a dead faint time and time
over. Put your hand thar!" He siezed
the saloon-keeper's hand and held it on
his breast The man felt Wash's heart
sway several inches, as if it had torn
loose from its place, and its wild, loud
throbbing was like the beating of a
mighty engine. l"Thar," said Wash,
"you see I ain't for long. That mine's
for my wife. She's stayed with it and
with me. I ought to have dropped it
and put my pride down long ago, but
now it s too late. Riley, will you Jet me
have the powder?" '
"No."
Wash looked at his old enemy and
turned away. He had already tried
others, the store-keeper, the hotel-
owner and every miner he could find.
They thought it was foolishness and
worse. There had been many thines
said about that crazy Wash who mar
ried a young woman and made her
work like a slave in his worthless claim,
and some of them were flung out at him
that afternoon.
"I tell you. Wash," said one, "the in
sane asylum is the place for you, and
the boys will have to get you there and
send your wife home."
So far astray does the judgment of
men and of communities sometimos
wander! No one in all that camp un
derstood the proud, unyielding soul that
had set itself to wrestle with Nature
and her secret The afternoon wore on
into night, and night into morning, and
morning, noon and afternoon built up
another day. Wash did not come back.
Some boys climbed the hill and went
into the tunnel. There lay Wash, dead,
at the further end of the drift bis pick
in his hand. He had gone back to break
his own way into the treasure-house, but
his heart had burst in the midst of a
giant stroke, and he had fallen across
his own weapon. There his wife had
found him, and she, too, weak and sick
and heart-broken, lay in a faint over his
body.
Ophir Camp woke with a start to some
dim sense of its crime. Tender hands
carried Wash ard his wife out of the
tunnel, and did all that could be done
for the poor woman.
A dozen men went back into the tun
nel from which they had taken the dead
man, and looked at the place where his
last faltering shock had glanced on the
flinty rock.

The miners drew close together,

a little a few of them went back to the
tunnel and secured Wash's pickaxe,
which had been left leaning against
the walL j .
"We can't bury tbem here, now,"
said one; the mine will be worked
again. They must lie on the hillside,
where all his old friends of twenty years

Meanwhile they were talking in low
tones, .when suddenly, a miner, who

pickaxe, which hardly another man in
camp could have handled, gave a cry of
surprise. In a little flaw in

any other man in the mountains. That's

Wash had no relatives. His wife's
brother came up and took possession of
the claim which the miners bad pro
tected against all intruders. In a few
weeks it became generally understood
in the region that the ; wealth of the
"Blue Juniata's last and greatest
pocket" was estimated by conservative
miners at a quarter of a million. It
waa. managed with consummate skill,
and one of the finest blocks of build
ings in San Francisco was erected by
the shrewd, selfish man of affairs who
had once refused to help "that crazy
Missourian brother-in-law" of his. The
hidden gold of the "Blue Juniata
pocket" went abroad in the world,
blessing or cursing according to the
natures of the men who held it; the
miner and his wife lay in the red hill

of the river, their struggle past
But from the day that Wash fell dead
in his tunnel a blight seemed to fall on
the little camp of Ophir. Mine after
mine gave out; miner after miner moved
away. A land-slide swept off the cabin
where Wash had lived, and though, as
I have said, the "Blue Juniata" yielded
all that was expeoted, and even more,
and founded one of the great Pacific
coast fortunes, none of its treasures
brought happiness to those who worked
it To-day the camp is deserted, and
its very name a memory. The broken
flumes rot on the hillsides and the
grizzly sleeps in the ancient tunnel
where the Missourian sank dead in his
last wrestle with fate. This is the
story of the last strike at Ophir.

F ABOUT SWEET ODOR
Ave of Taj St side, ass
wmju Bee Loved fev
From the verv earliest area man has
loved sweet odors. fi"'the Bible we
ead of the burning of incense on the
Altera, and the very word perfumery
(under which head we mar include all
delicate fumes or sraellj) comes from
the Latin fumut, smoke or vapor.
A he early Egyptians knew the use of
the still, and adopted it to the separa
tion of the odorous principle from fra
grant plants, but the most anoient odors
were drawn from natural gums, such as
camphor, myrrh and cinnamon.
bweet odors are of three kinds the
floral, the aromal and the balsamic.
The first group includes all those de
rived from sweet-smelling flowers and
plants; the second, those derived from
musks and resins; the third, those de
rived from leaves and gums. The otto,
or essential oil of perfumes, is obtained
in three several ways distilliatitn.
maceration and enflourage.
In distillation, the odorous principle
is purified and separated from the
grosser parts by evaporation and subse
quent condensation. An essential oil,
or otto, thus procured from orange flow
ers bears in commerce to this day the
name of Keroll, named after and dat
ing from time of the Emperor Nero.
In maceration, the primary substance
is softened by pounding, and then dis
solved by steeping in liquid, usually al
coholic In enflourage, the odors are extracted
by immersing the flowers or plants in
grease. The fat absorbs the odors, and
to remove it the fat is placed in alcohol;
the odor then leaves the fat and enters
into the spirit, which thus becomes
scented.
In the manufacture of perfumes art
has improved on nature, and the per
fumer must be a good chemist Such
odors as Jockey Club, West End, Mille
fleur and a host of others have no
counterpart in garden or grove.
Indian lemon grass likewise gives
"extract of verbena." With the rose as
a foundation, and a dash of verbena,
the perfume of the delicate and fleeting
"sweet-brier" is obtained.
Of the animal substances, ambergris,
the secretion of the spermaoeta whale,
gives mellowness and permanency to
mixtures. Civet a secretion of the Afri
can and Indian cat, has an odor harm
onizing with floral compounds.
Musk is found in the small pocket or
pouch of the musk deer of China, Ton
quin and Thibet It is so powerful,
aromatic and persistent, that one part
of musk will scent more than 8,000
parts of inodorous powder. .
Of the spice series, caraway and nut
meg are largely used, and cloves enter
into many perfumes with high-sounding
names. Cinnamon or cassia is
largely used. Cinnamon or cassia is
the bark of a tree. Cassia comes from
China, the true cinnamon from Ceylon,
and the two odorous grasses are natives
of India; one is known as the "lemon
grass," from which all our "extract of
verbena" and "verbena water" are
made, a little addition of lemon essence
making the counterfeit complete.
Golden Days.
DEPLORABLE BUT TRUE.
"Boys," said one, -I'll never forget
that I told Wash he couldn't have any
more powder, not if he died in his tun
nel. We'll set off them last blast-holes
jest as he wanted, and then we'll bury
him in here where he dropped."
There was plenty of blasting-powder
now to be had for the asking, and in a
few minutes more the face of the drift
was ready for the blast the fires set
and lighted, word had got around the
camp, and every man was gathered at
the mouth of the tunnel. A few women
were in the old cabin caring for the
dying wife. A long silence followed
the lighting of the fuses, and suddenly
the dull noise of the shock and the fall
of heavier masses of rocks than usual
startled the miners outside.
They ran into the tunnel with their
lights. The blast had opened a wide
path into an irregular cavern, gleaming
with gold. Above, below and on all
sides was the shining, precious metal.

Instead of Being a Friend, Woman Is
Woman's Worst Enemy.
Woman is the sweetest creature the
Lord has ever made, but it has yet
to be proved that she is woman's
best friend. It is 1 a harsh
thing to say, but it is a fact neverthe
less, that women do not love one
another. Their sympathies go out to
the feathered tribe, the dumb animals,
the heathen, and pagan, the prisoner of
justice, and the male tippler, the festive
tramp, the fashionable roue, the van
quished slugger, and the hero of the
stage and society, but no compassion is
wasted on ti e young girl struggling for
footing, the dependent wiil'jw or the
wretched woman who could succeed in
saving herself if only given a little en
couragement and assistance.
Women with tender hearts and ample
means will do church work, scatter
tracts, keep the cash in an exchange or
white ribbon restaurant, stand in a
"Jacobs well" or a bazar and sell trappe
sweets and fancy goods all day long
for sweet charity. Yet these same
ladies, if appealed to, will refuse a let
ter, testimonial or guarantee of good
will which means bread to the suppli
cant A dozen pretty, plausible and po
lite excuses are given for declining the
favor, but pecuniary help is not offered
either, and the applicant goes off in de
spair and does the best she can, which
is often far from good. I
Ask any girl in the mill, the cloak
factory, the muslin factory, the dress

dustry where a forewoman is employed,
and she will tell you she detests the
woman she has to work for. !
I asked a ribbon weaver why this was
so. i
"Because she nags; because she is al
ways a looking for something she can
pick at; because she never has a kind
word to say to a girl, no matter how
hard she tries to please her; because she
carries tales to the boss and because she
will keep back work from the girls she
doesn't like and give the best paying

"While all England," says a writer

pleasant to reflect that his great pre
oecessor in African exploration, Sir
Richard Burton, is lying very danger
ously ill, neglected and alone in Lon

his own way the elder traveler accom
pushed even more remarkable feats
than the hero of the hour. His romantio
pilgrimage to Mecca and Elahcdinch in
the disguise of a Moslem devotee, his
journey through Berberah to the sacred
city of llarah, where no other infidel
foot has ever trodden, were but prelim
inaries to the great achievement of his
life, the discovery of Lake Tanganyika.
This discovery paved the way for all
that has been done in Central Africa,

Captain Burton would undoubtedly
have reaped much of the honor which
has gone to others."

Devlee of Disappointed Europeans to Re
turn Home.
r.very one is aware tnat were la an
export trade in cattle between this
country and Europe, but very few out
side of those personally interested in
the business have a just conception of
its real magnitude. Every week in the
year from three to five cattle steamers,
with from eight hundred head of live
cattle upwards, leave the port of New
York alone.
These vessels carry in addition to
their ordinary crew about fifty odd men
whose sole duty it is to attend to the
stock in transit. About half of these
are regular cattle-men used to the care
of animals, and the other half are men
who for one cause or other are desirous
to leave "the land of the free and the
home of the brave" for the effete monarchy-ridden
countries of Europe they
came from. So anxious are they to get
away that they willingly ship as help
ers, receiving no other reward for from
twelve to fourteen days' hard work
than their grub and their passage over.
From time to time "ads" appear in the
daily papers calling for these men, and
as a rule the applicants are away in ex
cess of the demand.
The offices where they are shipped
are mainly on Greenwich street, near
the Battery. Here the other day a
News reporter had an interesting con
versation with one of the principal
agents for procuring this inexpensive
kind of help for the cattle bosses.
"You want to know," he said, "what
kind of men want to work their passage
home in cattle ships. Well, almost all
kinds and conditions of men. We have
applications from young English clerks
who have found that they have brought
their goods to an over-stocked market,
and whose money Is all gone; mechan
ics who have been out of work so long
that they are in the same condition, and
youngsters who have run away from re
spectable homes in the old country and
are returning, having squandered their
substance in riotous living, to the old
man.
We ship quite a lot of laborers, too.
and quite a number of these men hart
money enough to pay their passage and
ahip with us simply to save it. Nearly
all of this class return, as they only go
on the cattle boats that they may have
the more to spend when they visit their
friends on the other side. We like to
get them, too, as they are harder work
era than broken-down clerks and high-
toned mechanics."
Sometimes," he continued, after
pause, "we ship actors. I don t mean
regular actors, but variety actors. About
two months ago I shipped a party of
four minstrels who had got erred of
swinging around the dime museums,
and had made np their minds to try the
English musio hails. They were the
life of the ship on the passage over, and
the cattle foreman told me on his re
turn that they were moreover the best
workers in his crew." M. Y. Sunday
