COMEDY.
The parted, with clasps of hands,
And kisses and burning tears.
They met, in a foreign land,
After some twenty years.
Met, as acquaintances meet,
Smilingly tranquil-eyed
Hot even the least little beat
Of the heart, upon either side!
They chatted of this and that,
The nothings that make up life;
She in a Gainsborough hat,
And he in black for his wife.
Ah, what a comedy this is!
Neither was hurt it appears;
She had forgotten his kisses,
And he had forgotten her tears.
( AMP ROYAL.
It was Robert Fairfax that first pro
posed starting for the frontier mining re
gion. Rendered desperato by an unlooked-for
domestic calamity, he felt that
he mast get away from all his old associ
ations or he shonld go mad.
Not being engaged in very lucrative
business myself, and having no "kith
nor kin" with whom to advise, I finally
allowed him to urge me into a promise
to go with him as soon as my small busi
ness accounts could be settled satisfac
torily; and so, a month after the subject
was first broached, we found ourselves
in New York with through tickets for the
West.
We took our own time prospecting
along the Rocky range from the Spanish
Peaks on to Dakota. This was about the
same time that the cities of Dead wood
and Custer were born among the Black
Hills.
Finally, one day -we came into the
claim of quite a number of miners. Their
tents were pitched in the mouth of a lit
tle canon where the "findings" gave
promise of "paying dirt."
We joined our fortunes to "Camp
Royal," and each in turn was cook and
general scrub. The boys were a rough
set, but Fairfax and myself in no wise
held aloof from them ; it wasn't safe to
do so in that wild region, for quite often
your enemies might prove to be those of
your own household.
Roving squads of Indians were often
seen lurking about the hills, but none
had showed any symptoms of molesting
us.
Infernal beggars, they hung around
the trains and camps all the way along
the Rockies. We noticed one small
party of traders that came into Laramie
a thievish set of half-breeds and
jockeys, always keeping their women,
like whipped dogs, away in the rear.
I know Fairfax and I had stretched
ourselves down by the fire in the bar
racks, when a low, wild cry startled us,
and looking up we saw a young Indian
girl flitting from the door. We ran out,
but she had vanished. Fairfax only got
a glimpse of her; I saw her distinctly.
It was a matter of great wonderment
what she could want of us. We men
tioned the subject several times and then
we forgot all about it.
My taciturn messmate, Fairfax, was
most unlike the fellow that I had known
in academy days. The calamity of
which I have spoken came to me second
hand; he never mentioned it.
They said he was doing a good busi
ness at the time he fell in love with an
opera dinger. They were married
Erivately and in haste, because he knew
ow violently his friends would oppose
the step. He lavished his time and
money upon the dazzling prima donna,
bnt his love-match soon came to a disas
trous end.
He endeavored to persuade her to
leave the stage and its unholy influences,
bnt adulation was her life. "New faces
and new conquests" was her motto, and
she laughed him to scorn.
His love, deep and sincere, caused him
to attempt to exercise a healthful author
ity over her. Alasl she fled the country
with an Italian tenor, wrecking the hopes
and ambitions of a gifted and scholarly
man.
Knowing this, I bore his silent misan
thropy with all the patience imagin
able. One day we went prospecting up the
canon. When we returned at night we
were astonished to see a little mustang,
or Indian pony, grazing near the camp.
Coming up, we were still further amazed
to behold a young squaw before the fire
broiling the meat and turning the hoe
cake, while the boys sat round with
smiling faces and a vague expectancy of
manner.
She was talking volubly with a half
breed, pouring.the soft aboriginal dialect
in an unbroken stream from her expres
sive mouth.
On our entrance she stopped her
speech, as suddenly as we stopped our
advance.
A woman in a camp in that wild place,
an alien from her kindred regardless of
any code of morality or religion and for
what purpose?
She took her place in "Camp Royal"
as the squaw takes hers in the wigwam of
her red master to drudge and toil, bnt
not a man in the mines would allow her
to bring a bucket of water, or break a
stick of wood. She was to these men
like a Druid priestess. Sometimes I
shuddered to think of the ending of this
affair. Refined social life cannot under
stand existence beyond the pale of civii
iiation. Every wild instinct and passion
here goes unleashed; and should this
young lioness fawn on one more
than on another, that man's doom was
sealed.
One night I came into Camp Royal
early. I had a sudden attack of illness
and came out alone.
The girl was dressed in her gay Indian
toggery, the scarlet, spangled peticoat,
and embroidered moccasins, and with
strings of Jbeads around her shapely neck,
but her hair instead of hanging like a
black mane around her shoulders was
coiled around her small beautiful head,
and she wept as she sat with her face
buried in her hands.
When she heard me, she sprang to her
feet, with her cheeks flashed and her
eyes fairly blazing.
"Are you a spy Lennox?" she said, in
flexible and pure English.
I staggered to my bunk completely
astounded.
"Assuredly not; I did not dream of
this. Who are you?" .
"It does not matter. Let me trust my
secret in your hands?"
"You may, I have no interest to be
tray yon."
"Thank yon."
And catching a glimpse of some other
miner coming, who seemed to be mis
trustful that my sickness was feigned,
she instantly unbound her hair, and, was
giving me specimens of the unadultera
ted Indian dialect, when the man' was
near enough to hear.
After this I cautiously watched her
every moment. I longed to see the
stain washed from her pretty, oval face.
I was interested in her. I went deeper
than her present life, degraded as she
might be and evidently was. What fate
had reached her; or what anti-natal sur
roundings had robbed her of that inher
ent charm of womanhood a shrinking,
sensitive soul.
The miners were, on the whole, a
wild, lawless set; but she could drink
min'sW with thp strongest, and seldom
swayed in her walk. When her brilliant
eyes were glowing wnn mo mwi ui
hot liquor through the pulses of her
being, she could send a steady glance
along the barrel of the rifle and pierce
the target's center three times ont of
five. And at such times she would
dance a Mexican fandango with Joe of
Sante Fe, or leap from the ground upon
her mustang's back, and giving the shrill
yell of the Sioux, caricole over the level
plateau below Camp Royal with all the
lithe grace of the aboriginal.
They called her Siseree. She was
Joe's Siseree, and Jim's Siseree. and so
on; only Robert Fairfax and myself
never introduced her to drink, nor to go
off into her wild revels. I never saw
her speakingt o Fairfax as to the others,
and I did not wonder.for he never spoke
to her.
By and by alarming rumors reached us
of Indian depredations and massacres
among the miners. Small companies of
men were fleeing for their lives in all
directions. Should we be molested?
We dared not think of the atrocities that
occasional prospectors narrated, for our
,.!omi woo "nanninff ont" crandlv. There
V 1U1 U-I WW IM'J - O o w
certainly was everything to fear, and a
gloom hung over us.
One night 1 went to a spring lor
nnbr Kiuarpp inined me when a little
,-out from the camp. Her manner was
a - ... a
ntenseiy exciiea.
"T.onnny " ail a asii.i in hnr fair Enc-
lish, "manifest no surprise, don t seem
to notice anything, but glance up to the

U"
Mv cursory glance' revealed nothing.
I told her so.
"Pretend to stoop and pick this stone
f mm the natli. Take a lonarer view
away toward the Pilot Knobbs."
"Nothing.
"Yon would never be a scout. Two
little t.nfta likfi RftCfi-hmsh. have come
there to-night, at least, they were not
there yestere en.
"And?"
"They are Indian scouts watching the
camp."
"We must return and warn the boys."
"No hurrv." she said: "keeu on. Thev
won't disturb us for hours. I know
them."
"How long have you been with the
Indians?"
"Five months. They robbed the
atoff.1 rn nrhinh T wan cm'nc to Port,
uvug," O O
Laramie, and killed all the passengers
i . 1 1 t "1 1 1 :
uul mysen. x waa naveu uy ueuuiumg
the wife of the chief."
Here a fierce imprecation hissed from
between her teeth.
"I could not escape. I had no friends
to rescue me. I was married to him, but
the ceremony, consisting of singing and
dancing and shaking of hands, I did not
consider binding. I studied their
language and was to betray them if pos
sible. No opportunity offered, and I
feigned contentment until I threw them
off their guard. The night after I
looked into the barracks and saw you
and and your messmate. I found the
old chief's heart," and with hideous
meaning she tapped her breast, where
was discernible the hilt of a stilleto.
"And taking one of their mustangs, by
long, secret night travel followed your
trail. Ah! I became skillful in learning
their tricks and their arts, and now "
I waited for her to go on.
"The scouts up yonder may be looking
for me. The relatives of my deceased
husband may follow my trail, but the
camp must be warned."
She disappeared from my side before
others of the miners had seen her. On
my return I told them that Siseree had
seen Indian scouts on the hills. Our
camp was seriously alarmed, ana a
guard was posted that night, and the
next and the next, but not a moccasin
track was seen, nor the shadow of an
eagle feather. I began to doubt the evi
dence of my senses and Siseree's wisdom.
A week passed, and with it the scare of
the camp bad subsided. The "diggings
were rich, and we were planning the
sinking of a shaft. A treacherous un
concern fell over us. Only Siseree
abated neither her fears nor her vierils.
From midnight through the small hours
of the morning she moved out and in the
camp. Awaken at any time then, and
you would see her going out or coming
in, or crouching in the canvas doorway,
always witb Santa re Joes rule in hand
With this weapon she was most fa
miliar, and could hit the target at long
est range.
One night I was awakened by a cool,
firm hand being placed over my mouth
and Siseree s subdaed whisper:
"Lenox, don't get up creep over the
men; come outside.
She moved away, and dropping on her
hands and Knees at the doorwav, went
out with the lithe grace and stillness of
a lioness creeping on its prey.
I joined her, and again she whispered
"Take a sight by this tent stake up the
slope to the south of the canon. Now,
were those bushes there at sunset?
I was-ashamed to acknowledge that I
did not know.
"Well, now look another way for five
minutes, and then again take the bear
ings."
Ah, now I perceive the dark spots have
moved. They were not far from the camp
now.
It was a night, or early morning attack
that was meditated.
"Creep noiselessly in and awaken the
camp," she said. "Don't let them make
a sounU."
Bnt this could not be done with dis
patch. Aroused from a deep and dream
less sleep, with always some imprudent
ones in such a company, some sleepy ex
clamations were made, which precipi
tated the catastrophe. With their pecu
liar cry the savages were upon us.
In the first, faint glimmer of morning,
Camp Royal made a stand for its life.
Outnumbered, two to one, the struggle
was a futile, bat a desperate one. The
poor boys fell rapidly. At last, only
Robert Fairfax, myself, and Siseree were
left against the desperate odds.
A bullet aimed for Fairfax's breast was
saved from the mark by Siseree spring
ing before him and receiving it in her
own bosom.
"Fly! fly! to the canon!" she cried.
"Robert Fairfax no greater love
hath man than to give his life." She
fell forward dead. Involuntarily we
burst through the rear of Camp Royal,
and without a thought of reaching the
canon alive dashed away, pursued by the
ballets from the guns of the red devils
in pursuit. We did succeed, wounded
and bruised, in reaching a narrow, rocky
defile, where, turning at bay, we brought
down the first three devils in pursuit.
The rest halted, and then retreated. A
precipitous cliff above us and a gulf of
rock below, and only this narrow path to
the cavernous chamber where we were
secreted. We had only made a choice of
deaths. We knew the red devils would
wear us ont by starvation, if they dared
not approach along the narrow shelf of i
rock, bat instinct had, impelled us to
the movement, which sober judgment
would never have permitted.
Bat by one of those strange Provi
dences which are unaccountable, Mc
Nabe's corps, sent further gp the Hills
to protect the miners from Indian raids,
came upon our camp before noon. Sight
ing the cavalry from our eyrie, stiff and
smarting with wounds, we ventured
forth.
And Siseree, sinning and sinned
against, made atonement and redeemed
her womanhood at last, by a voluntary
sacrifice of her life for the man she
loved.
The Lobster Business.
From the "Lobster at Home," an il
lustrated article by W. H. Bishop, in
Scribner', we quote as follows:
"The factory opens at one end of the
wharf, close to the water. Two men
bring in the squirming loads on a
stretcher and dump the mass into cop
pers for boiling. At intervals the cov
ers are hoisted by ropes and pulleys, and
dense clouds of steam arise, through
which we catch vistas of men, women
and children at work. Two men ap
proach the coppers with stretcher and
scoop-nets, and throw rapid scoopfuls,
done to a scarlet, backward over their
shoulders. The scarlet hue is seen in all
quarters on the steaming stretcher, in
the great heaps on the tables, in scat
tered individuals on the floor, in a large
pile of shells and refuse seen through
the open door,, and in an ox-cart-load
of the same refuse, farther off which is
being taken away for use as a fertilizer.
The boiled lobster is separated, on long
tables, into his consistent parts. The
meat of the many-jointed tailis thrust oat
with a punch. A functionary called a
'cracker' frees that of the claws by a
couple of deft cuts with a cleaver, and
the connecting arms are passed on to
be picked out with a fork by the girls.
In another department the meat is
placed in the cans. The first girl puts
in roughly a suitable selection of the
several parts. The next weighs it, and
adds or subtracts enough to complete
the exact amount desired (one or two
pounds) . The next forces down the con
tents with a stamp invented especially
for the purpose. The next puts in a tin
cover with blows of a little hammar.
Then a tray is filled rapidly with the cans
and they are carried to the solderers,who
seal them up tight except for minute
openings in the covers, and put them in
another tray, which, by means of a pulley-tackle,
is then plunged in bath cal
dronsin order that the cansfmaybe boiled
till the air is expelled through the min
ute openings. Then they are sealed up
and boiled again for several hours,
when the process of cooking is then com
plete.
Chocorna.
I cannot call .Chooorua, a beautiful
mountain, yet of all of the White Moun
tain peaks it is the most individual
Nothing can be more striking than the
way it presents itself here. Fast locked
in the embrace of encircling hills, a
lovely little lake volumptuously reposes
at the foot of .the mountain. Patriarchal
pines, lofty and dignified, advance into
it from the lovely shores. Its charming
seclusion, its rare combination of laugh
ing water and impassive old mountains,
above all, the striking contrast between
its chaste beauty and the wierd, huge
ribbed thing rising above, awaken a va
riety of sensations. The mountain at
tracts and at the same time repels you
It is passing strange. Two sentiments
struggle here for mastery admiration
and repulsion. For the first time in his
life the spectator ieels an antipathy for a
creation of inanimate nature. Chocoru
suggests some fabled prodigy of the old
mythology a headless Centaur sprung
from the foul womb of earth. The lake
seems another Andromeda exposed to a
monster.
The whole upper zone of the mountain
seems smitten by palsy. Except in the
hollows between the inferior summits
nothing grew, nothing relieved the wide
spread desolation. Beyond us, scarred
and riven by lightning, rose the enor
mous, conical oraig which gives to Choco-
rua its hignly distinctive character
Many years ago this region was devas
tated by fire. In the night old Choco
ru a lighted his fiery torch, and stood in
the midst of his own funeral pyre. The
red glare, overspreading the sky, put out
the stars. A brilliant circle of light,
twenty miles in extent, surrounded the
mountain like a halo; while, underneath,
an immense tongue of forked flame
licked the red summit with devouring
haste. In the morning, a few charred
trunks, still erect, were all that remained
of the original forest. Harper's Maga
zine. A Leaf from Confederate History.
The Norfolk Landmark prints a com
munication from a former officer of the
Confederate army, giving particulars of
a plot, originating with Governor Wise,
of Virginia, in January, 1861, for the
.capture of Fortress Monroe, while the
question of the State seceding was pen
ding in the State Legislature. The
writer induced three orderly sergeants
attached to the garrison of the fort and
others to place proper men on guard at
certain points prepared to surrender.
They, however, declined to act unless
the demand for the surrender was made
by the authority of the State of Virginia
and free passports guaranteed to them to
pass through the State, witb protection
during the some. Governor Letcher was
consulted, but he declined to make the
demand for surrender on the part of the
State unless authorized by the Legisla
ture, and as this could not be obtained
without making the plot public, the
project was abandoned. The writer says
that at least one-fourth of the garrison
had joined the sworn organization to
surrender the fort.
Paper Blankets.
A fire burning in a paper stove is the
latest novelty. Paper is used to make
carriage wheels, chimney pots, flour bar
rels and tiles, and last, bnt not least,
blankets.
Attention has frequently been called
to the value of ordinary sheets of paper
as a substitute for bedclothes, or, at
least, as an addition to bed clothes.
The idea seems to have suggested the
fabrication of "blankets" from this cheap
material.
The fact that they are not as durable
as the genuine article, is in their favor,
as, in the case of the very poor, where
the same bedding is used for years, a
very cheap material that will last only
a comparatively short time must be bet
ter than durable articles that are rarely
or never washed.
If blankets were made of paper as
tough and flexible as that which is manu
factured in China and Japan, they would
last perh aps two winters, and if pasted
on cotton cloth, probably longer.
Buskin says that "cheap dress bought
for cheapness' sake and costly dress
bought for costliness sake are both
abominations."
V ebster's Visit to queen Victoria.
August 5, 1839. After the introduc
tion of the Dukes (it being considered
etiquette to do so), we left our names
on the visiting list of the different
members of the royal family on Friday
last, instead of leaving a card, which is
never done in this case. The porter at
the gate produces the visiting hpok,
which is handed in the carriage, to which
we added our names.
Mr. and Mrs. Webster are to-day to
have the honor of dinning with her
majesty. Julia and myself have re
ceived a royal command to appear at a
small party at the palace afterward.
Mr. Rogers has been sitting with us
and we enjoyed for an hour his delight
ful conversation. Declining an invita
tion from the Dowager Lady Charie
ville, and punctually at three o'clock,
the hour named, Julia and myself left
our lodging for Buckingham Palace.
Alone and unattended, except, of
course, by our footman, we approached
the royal residence, guarded about the
porticos by "Yeoman of the Guard."
We entered and ascended the grand and
stately marble staircase with no other
companions than its numerous attend
ants ranged on each side, even to the
door of the mirrored saloon where her
majesty was. Mr. Webster and Mr.
Charles Murry were awaiting our ar
rival at the doorway. The Lord
Chamberlain instantly advanced and
signified briefly that it was the queen's
pleasure we should immediately ap
proach the royal presence and make our
devoirs. This we did in the best way
we wet able, the Queen in the most
gracious manner acknowledging our
courtesies, and pronouncing in a loud
and distinct voice our separate names.
I soon perceived by certain emotions
that something was about to occur.
Lady Forbes and others, who were near
me at the doorway, instantly retreated
"en face" into the adjoining room and
formed a line on each side. Through
this the Lord Chamberlain appeared,
backing forward, followed by others in
office about the household. Soon the
Queen appeared, and from the opposite
gallery, into which he had backed, ap
peared the royal family, inoluding the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and
Princess Augusta. Theyg advanced,
placed themselves in line, and her maj
esty embraced them all, kissing each.
She then passed on, saluting others
stationed each side, and entered ..the
dancing room. The throne room was
the dancing room; the Queen commenced
the first with the hereditary Duke of
Saxe Weimar. Her majesty was dressed
with great simplicity, in a white tulle
over white satin, trimmed with pink
roses, and pink roses in her hair, and a
diamond necklace looped behind in the
braids of her hair, and a diamond fien
iere. Mrs. Webster appeared to have
enjoyed the royal dinner. Two bands
were playing in adjoining apart
ments. The Queen was first helped
on all occasions. At the close
of the dinner the Queen's health
was drank, all standing, she alone sitting
and bowing all around during the cere
mony. Mr. Webster had a long con
versation with her majesty, and thought
her intelligent and agreeable. She is
also said to be energetic and with a de
cided will of her own. On a recent oc
casion she thus replied to Lords Mel
bourne and Palmerston, who were urging
her on some point to which she was
averse:
"What is the use of being a queen if
one cannot do as one likes ?"
Her majesty appeared to highly enjoy
the dance, and was ready with her little
foot forward to commence the first mo
ment the music sounded. As the Prin
cess Victoria, she was celebrated for her
charming singing with the pianoforte,
but as queen these accomplishments are
considered as undignified, and her voice
is now heard on,ly in the privacy of her
own closet, and never in the drawing
rooms of the Palace, as formerly. Mrs.
