A Comovillo, Cal., correspoiulont
writes as follows to The Acw lork bun:
For live or six years old l'cto Fergus
has boon the only resident of this
town. Ho was hero lirst and ho is
horo last. IIo saw tho mining camp
dovolop, orolute, and decline. It was
ho who welcomed all tho now-comora
and bade all tho outdoors good-b

tho place, but only his is tenanted
Tho others stand about as they wore
left by their last occupants. Soino of
them aro in wood condition, with win
dows and doors in place, but others
aro rickotv and tumblo-down.
Tho Comovillo fovor was violent,
and it soon faded away. Of tho twen
ty or thirty mines hero none have over
paid, and during all the tinio that
thoy were worked not enough bullion
was taken out of them to pay for tho
tobacco consumed in tho place, Roto
lor 'Us kept a boardinsr-housii, and it
was not his business to worry over tho
success of tho minors, lliey cunio
and went, anil as long as there was
one in town he had an open housn.
When everything in tho natiiro of
mining cea.sod, he still tarried and en
tertained an occasional prospoctor,
and whon oven tho prospectors coaseil
to conio this way lie remained, though
his "help" loft 'him ono by one until
ho was alone. He now manages to
mako his own living in some way,
and exists to a largo extent on his
faitli that there are great days in store
for Comovillo yet.
Walking through thodesorted camp
yesterday with this aged man, ho en
tertained a parly of tourists with a
running comment on tho history of
the place and on a few of tho more
important events in its career. Tho
day was a brilliant one. Tho sun
shone bright and warm, tho air was
delightfully soft, and the frowning
mountain poaks in tho distance made
iv picturesque background for tho
rambling and dilapidated village.
"Th's here place," tho old man said,
pointing to a woathor-boalcu shanty,
is where Tim Fuller lived. He came
in with 10,000 in cool cash and blow
it up in this very room playing faro.
)o you seo that hole ill tho board ?
Woll, that's where tho millet that
killed him went. It's in there now. I
guess. Ho didn't moan any harm, but
ho ran across a hard crowd one night,
and, being desperate, ho attemplod a
iittlo'shonanigan with tho cards. Just
as lo was raking oil' the pot in a poker
uamo a big Mexican pulled on lilin and
lot him have it. That was in busy
times, and nobody had any timo to
think about it niiieli. A long whiio
after that I got the idea that Tim
might have had a little 11101103' hidden
here, and the more 1 thought of it tho

search 1 found under a Hat stone a

though I've forgotten. 1 spent it all
long ago.
'Over horo in this long building
was where Tennessee Darker run a gin
mill and a uuiublinir house. He was
the best man that ever stood 111 this
town. He could light or shoot, but a
gun light is what, pleaded him best
He had many of them. One time the
whole town pitched on him, and he
got four bullets in his chest. He's up

town was u slim oung fellow named
Jomlinson. He had a little money and
could play a good lmuiio, and I am
borry to say he took up with a young
woman who was hero at the time. Uuo
day 11 lady, one of the kind that you

came up with a bewildered look on him,
and when his wife appealed to him to
back her up in her statements he had
the devil in him. 1 guess he protend

was a great mistake 011 his part for
the lady had a gun, and before any
body could think site had shot him and
herself, too. She fell right here, and
ho over here. That's her blood on tho
board. They aro both up here.

lie cleaned out every man at tho table,
and left between two days for fear the
boys would clean him out. Ho was a

with superstitious awe. Not ono of
them would ever play here after that,
because, though it was plain enough
that Joo hud lixed the cards, it was
thought that there was .some thing horo
that was very favorable to that kind

Sudden Deaths on tho Stage.
Tho fact that McCullotigh broko

incidents of similar character. Near

had won a "reputation in some of his
roles, fell dead while playing bo f 010 a

while playing Rosalind, was paralyzed,
and never, recovered. She had just
uttered the words "I'd kiss as ninny

voice was hushed, and was never again
heard In public. The once famous
comedian, Footo, was al.o paralyzed

Mariners 011 tlio Great Lakes.
Boys, yo who' want to run away and
don a pair of llowing trousers and bo
conio troo and easy sailors, pirates or
captain, givo ear. This ideal picturo
of tlio wheelman is all mist. I didn't
notice in tho pilot-house a siuglo novel
or a lazy back-chair. But I did uotioo
that if a wheelman was wanted, tho
mate did not scruplo to rouse linn out
of his bunk, even at 1 o'clock in tlio
morning, no matter if it was very cold
ou the outside; and 1 also noticed thai;
the man said nothing about "Yes, sir,
I'll bo there in a minute," or "wait till
1 Huisli this nap." He camo rlghtout,
and taking his partner's place, hold it
for six weary hours amid a silence that
would chill ono. So mv boy, whon
you pack up your possessions In a red
handkerchief and steal out of thob.tok
window of a dark night to run away
to tho lnkos to become rich and fa
mous, liko "Billlo, the Boy Whalor or
the King of the Quarter Deck," don't
try wheeling.
Cabin boy? Tho lake steamers car
ry no cabin boys; the cook is tho best
they can atl'ord in this line. But then
thero are tho sailors, tho mon witli
pretty blue blouses, with anchors tit
the shoulders, they who wear jaunty
hats oyer one ear, "lav out 011 the
yard-arm," who sloop in hammocks,
anil who sing:
1 hiii a jolly tnr, am I,
An free ns 11 11 1 icuu bird.
Thoro aro those men, surely? No,
my son; on the great lakes those noblo
men are scarcer than mountains in the
Sahara dosort. Tho re mav be n few
sailors of this stamp 011 tho stage, but
that's the only place you'll llnd '0111.
The lakes are sadly doticlont. Those
who correspond nearest to sailors ou ti
steamship are tho deck-hands, who
nre 11 sorry lot. All the dook-hands I
over saw looked pretty much aliko
nu old pair ot troupers, one suspender,
nu old lint aud 11 alurt. And as for
work 1 hate to say so- but the cap
tain or mate never seemed quite cou
teutod unjesi Le had (huao ideal fol-
lows sticking their hand in tar-buckota
or paint-pote, or making them scrapo
down masts, tnr down rigging or such
liko inviting tasks. Tho dock-hands
of tho lakes are coal-heavers and cargo-
handlers, and aro, as a rule, driven to
work and watched liko children, who
soldom keep a placoovor ono trip, and
who havo been known to como nboard
a steamer, cat a couplo ol hearty
meals and then run away.
But thero arc tho matos? Correct,
thero aro. Matos aro mon who havo
sailed years and years, and who, for
being steady and principled, havo
been rewarded with a placo of impor
tance, to bo sure, but one having in it
all tho todiotis work of a deck-hand
and the responsibility of a captain. A
mate, beside standing watch, has tho
immediate supervision of this moan,
tedious work aforesaid, and in manv
cases its porformanco also.
But, after all, it is tiic captain of tho
lake vessel who fares tho hardest. Ho
must ho up, day or night, conning
through the rivers and wherever thero
is Iho least difficult navigation. Ho
has sometimes to bo up lifty hours on
a watch. Ho has to seo out every
piece of bad weather if it lasts a day or
a week. 1 nts is part ot ins responsi
bility. I hen, perhaps, he has twonty
odd " lives on his hands, a $250,000
steamship and a valuablo 2,000-tou-
cargo. Or if ho has a tow ho
may have the caro of a hundred lives
and a iiiillioii-odd dollars of properly.
uesiuos, no niusi Keep track ot tho in
ternal workings of his ship, and if any
one has a tendency to shirk duty ho
must know it. So occasionally lio will
need lend a helping hand in painting
and scrubbing, especially if his men
are awkward or clumsy or nood direc
tions. On all stoaniers captains, no
matter what their ngo or dignity, aro
called tho "old man" or tho "skip
per." So, my boy, any timo you got dis-
saiisneu wiui inroo moais a day and a
homo that compels you to -split tho

tle red haiidkorchiet and start tor tho
lakes: but don t blame 1110 if you re

desiro to attack a wood-pile two hours
evorv morning by way ot amusement.
