14s fete fc 1 te horrible friend Jnst why I stopped Ja Panama oa my return from my trip to California is a mystery The quaint Spanish fashions of the old city interested roe and I found It difficult to tear myself a war When I was ready to leave my brief sojourn in the country had inspired me with so much confidence that 1 eagerly embraced the suggestion of my land lord to cross the isthmus on horseback Take it leisurely he said follow the old transit road It touches Tan eus points along the canal 1 on can Snake the journey in a couple of days and you will not mind spending a night In one of De Lessens Tillages Now the canal was a pet hobby of mine I was anxious to see bow it was progressing Besides I had an Amen can friend who was one of the contrae torM and 1 wanted to pay him a visit The next morning I mounted a gentle mustang furnished by my host and set out for Aspinwall the Atlantic port where I intended to take the steamer for New ork As I wished to reach the camp of my fnend Jackson by mid day I rode rapidly during the morn ing It was the least interesting part of my route and there was no inducement to tarry on the way I passed plantations of nee indigo and coffee llere and there a stray cotton field reminded me of home but the ma hogany colored laborers all of them stripped to the waist had such a sav age look tint 1 did not feel deposed to parley with them Cvcasionally I passed one of the dons as the large planters are called by their mongrel tenants and with thee gentlemen I fot along very well These Spanish entral Americans have all the haughty dignity of their Castdian ancestors mingled with a sweet courtesy to stran gers that is indescribably fascinating to a traveler in a strange land More than one planter engaged me in a brief conversation and pressed me to stop at his hacienda assuring me that all he had his servants and horses included were at mv disposal Know ing this to be simply the perfunctory politeness of the bpamard I declined thee invitations and kept straight on always followed by the parting words May all the saints go with ou At one place the road ran along in Fight of the canal for half a mile Here I saw a scene not to be matched any where on earth Enormous machines were at work excavating thousands of tons of dirt and countless wagons were employed removing the loose earth iiyriadsof workmen swarmed every where jabbering to each otherin all the tongues of the known world Among them were men from all the countries of Lurope Americans Afn cans Chinamen fl es Indians and Malays The fierce looks cast upon jne by these people alarmed me but I pretended to be a calm spectator of the animated cene One of the contrac tors was an Englishman and from him I learned that I would find Jack son about live miles farther on Are ou armed asked the English man I told him that I had a revolver iou will probably need it before you reach Apmwall said he Ion are passing through 30 000 of the bloodiest cutthroats that were ever Collected together After hearing this I had a great mind to return to 1 anama but the idea of being laughed at made me deride to push on sunung a determined business like look I put spurs to my mustang and amblid through the motley gangs laborers untdl had the satisfaction of lei ng them behind me For tunately I encountered no obstacle and Jack on i camp was made just in time for nner Here I felt safe Jackson was a double fisted fellow whose men were all Americans He was delighted to Bee me and gave me a capital nner Ihinng the to hours I pent with him I filled him with lots of news from the ttate and he on the other hand fid me a lot of onrterf ul th ngs about the canal He male no secret of con Viction that the enterprise would drag along years but as he was making bu hels of ne the de ay played int 1 hands I declined to stay all night with linn Jackson gave me some directi ns about my route and at my departure cmfidea to me a package coi

could not staud the temptat on lthout count ling the consc liiences I fastened the mustang to a sapling and undressed a hurry placing mv revolver under my clothes on the edge ot the wafer Then I plunged in and enjoyed a refreshing swim One thing annoyed me All along the way I had met with monkeys everywhere They were of all sizes end the interest they took in my movements araued me not a little Some times they chattered at me indignantly and shook their ts almost in mv ice At a wave of my hand however thev fled in precipitate terror As soon as 1 entered the lake the monkeys seemed to take fresh courage Tbey scrambled 4n droves and abused me to their hearts content Among them was one of a species that I had not seen before He was a ferocious looking monster fully file feet gh and muscular as a tar lefore 1 realized the a ttiation this long legged giant swooped down on my clothes and started with them for the woods For a moment I was absolutely paralyzed It was no joke to Tide to Aspinwall in a decent rig ibut I had no fancy for the role of Lady Go diva There was no time to lose The monkey had left my pistol and as soon as I could seize it I fired He gate a howl of rage and dropped even thing hut mv eoatv I hastily jumped into my recovered xments ana gave chase Jt was unless The fiendish thifT skurned up into the top of a tall cocoa tree and the twinkling of an eve put

myself to the loss of my coat as Jackson money was in an in side pocket of my vest but the monkey showed a disposition to follow me After firing at him several times I gave Jt up Ills tough hide seemed bulletproof and there was no chance to kill nlm unless I hit him in the eye The declining sun warned me that it was time to seek shelter for the nigbtand I knew that in these tropical solitudes there was no twilight I saw no cul tlvatcd fields no houses no signs of the hacienda of Don Francisco Mendez The situation was growing senons Occasionally a stone weighing a pound Or two was hurled at me from some leafy covert and then the gigantic monkey would give a horrible laugh ana scamper away ne was a iiwuy looldnechaD in mvblue flannel coat but 1 was too mad to enjoy the comic aspect of the

saw a hort distance off in a clearing square adobe hut Hera was shelter and protection I was not much disappointed to find the hut uninhabited It was strongly built with no windows and one entrance from which the door had Ions since rotted away A step ladder led to a loft Ascending I found a small apartment dimly lighted by round holes to the wall which had evidently 8A3Z FRANCISCO CHRONICLE TyiTDXESDAY DECEMBER 15 18Sfc been used by sharpshooters at some revolutionary period In the history of the country My mind was made up in an instant I went back to my mustang and picketed him about a hundred yards from the hut in the bushes Then 1 returned to my fortress just as darkness closed in upon me and sought refuge in the loft puling up the ladder after me I was safe here even from the monkey and I lay down feeling a sense of perfect security It must have been late in the night when I heard something moving in the room under me Looking through the opening in the floor I could see noth ing I struck a match and by its flick enng flame recognized the monkey The wretch still wore my coat and in the dim uncertain light his appearance was more repulsive than ever I lay down again knowing that Uw beast could not get into the loft and commenced planning for his destruction in the morning I was satisfied that the animal belonged to a species of mountain apes of great strength and terrible ferocity Their cunning I had heard was almost human and thev did not scruple to attack men and rend them limb from limb I concluded when the morning light appeared to draw the brute attention and shoot him in one of his eyes Having settled on this plan I was about dropfing into a doze when I heard voices outside the hut I listened with alert ears If as jou sav Pedro lhat this American devil fs inside we should ambush him and shoot him when he comes out in the morning Now by all the saints Juan was the reph of Pedro vou are a cow ardly fool The American devil like all ms devils of countrymen has his eyes open and may get the drop on us I understood it all 1 recognized the voices Pedro and Juan had followed me all the wav from Jackson camp What to do was the question It wis hard to decide anl I waited further developments The two robbers converged low whispers and all that I could hear was their final agreement to rvuh in and overpower me onder what they will do with the monkey I said to my self with a thuckle 1 hear the mencan moving said Pedro It was the monkey The monster was walking in a circle all the me and the dead leaves that had drifted into the hut rustled under his feet There was another whispered con sulfation and the Mexicans ru hed into the room below The outlaws saw a huge dark form and made charge with their long mur derousknnes I heard two dull thuds and knew that Pedro and Juan had been dashed headline against the walls Mother of Jesus gasped Juan Knife him you son of atan Fool cried Pedro knife him yourself The robbers made another ru

cared for at a farmhouse near the scene of the disaster fell in love with each other and are now on their wedding trip There was a very trying period in a young bridegrooms life this week He had secured passage for himself and bride to Sew ork hy steamer They boarded the boat ana went to a stateroom and had just laid down their lighter baggage when it was discovered that something had been left behind The bridegroom rushed out turning the key in the lock from the outside from the force of bachelor habit and went np town with the key in his pocket When he got back it was to see the boat a hundred feet from the dock and his wife wildly waving her hand from the stateroom window The boat got some miles down the river before the imprisoned bride was able to communicate with an officer of the boat who unlocked her door with a nass key However the bridegroom caught a tram and was able to reach the Cromwell landing before the boat It an old adage about the coarse of true love SCENES IX CHINA Description of the Street and People of Cnlnene City Canton Correspondence Baltimore Son I did not see so much of Canton as I had wished the missionaries taking up most of my tune but a description of one Chinese street will give you a fair idea of their customs The streets are very narrow hardly more than six feet wide paved with large well worn flagstones houses built high but very irregular in a zig zag kind of fashion This I am told is tone so that evil spirits in passing from one house to another wul butt their heads against the houses The shops are small with entirely open fronts a host of sign banners and lanterns hanging from their upper windows hoping to shut out the sun thus giving the streets a dark dreary look The bulk of their cooking is done in front of their doors and fills the street with smoke I was in a butcher shop and on the first hook vou will hnd a skinned cat and beside it is a portion of a dog ou cau see at any time a number of rats some fresh others dried and salted so that the statement made in the San a little bef re I left home that Chinese do not eat such things does not reconcile it elf with the facts here It can be seen at almost any butcher shop and it is just as certain as you can fin bet i and mut tomn onr own markets Thetrets are literally jammed with pet pie coolies naked to their waists carry ng burdens swung across the

among prominent yachtsmen and naval officers of high rank Although none of the plans have yet been put into definite shape or any particular one decided upon as the best it is quite probable that some measures will be adopted this winter by the yachtsmen with that object in view A great manyjracht owners are anxious for better recognition from the Government which will give them a certain rank and status apart from their social positions as the owners of big and costly yachts They are desirous of being placed on a footing analagous to that of the British yachts a gieat many ot whom are members

a secret room entered in two wavsbv a dot from the street and by a slender ron stairca from the room ov erhead It is always kept dark so that no one can easily dist ngu sh the little slits in it that

summons another member of the fm ily from up stairs This saloon keeper is a German and is worth floO 000 He savs he would not be worth more than half that except for this caution His bar enders know that they are watched and how they are watched but can never teli when any one is in the mys ten us box or when it is empty All the modern tell tale devices arc in use in this saloon but the proprietor has lit le faith in them He as that smart bartenders can beat any machine that was ever invented He says that the trouble is not that bartenders are any more dishonest than other men but

other went back a short distance to the house of Charley Hutchison to get a gun but found no one at home and so returned to the place where the deer was noticed Brown then proposed that they try to jcatch the deer and Willis kept lighting and burning matches attracting the deer a atten tion until Brown slipped np and grabbed the deer by the horn and ear and then Willis assisted in throwing the deer down and holding it and they cut its throat with a dull pocket knife Tbey brought it to Benton and sold it out the next day The deer had only one horn and jt had two spikes on it It weighed sixty

Gannetts lately published presents strongly one aspect of its subject the slaughter of innocent birds and the suffering of their unfledged young left to stat ve in the nest Statistics are constantly meetmg eves guided by an interest in the subject that make the view still more appall ing It is stated on good authority that one firm buys from S00 000 to 1 000 000 small American birds every year gulls tern onoles crows blackbirds bobolinks snipe larks and spar rows being greatly in demand because they are cheap Let ns note three things here First the amount of beauty melody and happiness struck out of the world second that most of these birds are useful to mankind as destroyers of the insect foes of vegetation and third that they are cheap this wanton ravage brought no great gain to the spoilers It is a low estimate of a bird work to say each one destroys 200 insects ev ery day then putting th purchase if the firm just mentioned at only M0 000 they would destroy 100 000 OuO in one day and in our Northern summer say from May through vej tember about 0 days they would tree our fields and gardens our shade and fruit trees of 15 000 000 000 This countless host of insect foes left to propagate and to not over the vege able world that women and girls may ear birds in the hats No onder that all gardenersand farm ers are telling tlus year that never were insects so overpowering Wecanfancv the last shriek of the poor murdered creatures to sav hill your cater pillars your bags and beetles jour selves and how pow erless we are to doit These figures immense as they are are infinitely below the truth fhev relate to the stock i one firm and to fire months of the year but the birds migrate and live and feed somewhere the year round Then there is the deatn of a young brood and frequently the lack of a sect nd brood and cer tamly an awful thinning out of the feathered tribe It is calculated that it will take 100 years three generations of man to restore the numbers to what they were before tins slaughter Then there is the evil effect upon the gunners boys many of them allow ed by tneir parent to spend their time in this way Tune pent in destruc ive idleness instead of productive industry callous mdilfcr ence to suffering when the heart might be trained from ch ldhood to love of beauty and tender interest in all harm less anl beautiful life This indiffer ence will grow in some into brutality love of prize fights dog fights cock fights and will unfailingly show itself in the famUy in the treatment of wife and children The girls who wear wmg3 and birds in their hats are not alwaj to be ac eused of cruelty and selfish disregard of the needs of the world but thought less they certiinly are Just set the facts before them and they will look back with sorrow on their past and re solve that henceforth no bird shall lose its life for their adornment CLOCK BICKET SHOPS Gambling Machines Inmolested by the Chicago Police Chicago fcews And now
