Circumstances too plainly declared my guilt. I knew they lied. “As much under the glance of his eye as before the muzzle of his pistol, the cowardly clamorers drew back. Perhaps they were not sufficiently numerous to feel the full effect of that mysterious reflex influence which makes a. crowd of men so much the worse, and at times so much better, than any one of them singly. “It was not sympathy that actuated my protector. His heart was as hard as his office; but he represented the majesty of the law, and took a sort of grim pride 1n the position. “ As the proofs of my guilt, one after another, came to light, low mutterings gradually grew into a. clamor of ven- geance ; and but for the firmness of one man~t§xe officer who had me in charge -â€"I would doubtless have paid the penalty of my supposed offence on the spot. " What I said I know not. My con- fusion was taken as additional evidence. And when, at length, I did command language to give an intelligible state- ment, it was received with sneers and incredulity. “A search of the premises was im- mediately instituted. The watch was found in the drawer in. which I had placed it, and was identified as the property 01 the murdered man. His horse, too, was found in my stable, for the animal I had just put there was none other. I recognized him myself when I saw him in the light. “ My friend, with whom I had so lately set out in company, had been found murdered and robbed near the spot at which I, but I alone, knew we had separated. I was the last person known to be with him, and I was now arrested on suspicion of his murder. “ I was too much stupified at first to ask what it all meant. I dld so at last, and the explanation cameâ€"it was ter- rible. ' “ As I approached the house a crowd of men on horseback dashed up, and I was commanded, in no gentle tone-s, to stand! In another moment I was in the clutches of those who claimed me as their “prisoner.” I took the precauticn of putting the stranger’s watch in a. drawer in which I kept my own valuables. I found the horse as I had left him, and gave him the food which he was now sufficiently cooled to be allowed to eat; but his master was nowhere to be seen. “At the end of half an hour, my guest not returning, I went again to the stable, thinking he might have his Way found thither to give person .1 attention to the wants of his horse. Before going out, from mere force of habitwfor we were as yet uninfested out in the back- woods by either thieves or poli~emen-â€"- “On re-entering the house I found the stranger was not there. His absence excited no surprise; he would doubtless soon return. It «as a little singular, however, that he should lime left his watch lying on the table. “Offering him a. seat I went to look after his horse. The poor animal, as well as I could see by starlight, seemed to have been hardly used. His panting sides bore witness to mercilsss riding; and a tremuious shrinking at the sl‘ght- (-st touch, being a token of ro:cnt fright. “Though a stranger, his face seemed not unfamiliar. He was probably one of the men I had seen at the land ofiice, a place at that time much frequented. “ I was about retiring to bed on the night of mv return when asummons without Called me to the door. A stranger asked shelter for himself and his horse for the night. I invited him in. “ Exacting a promise that In: would not delay his visit longer than neces- sary, and having given minute direct. ions as to the rcute I continued my way homeward, while he turned back. He readiiy consented, and we set out together. we had not ridden many miles, when George suddenly recollected a commission he had undertaken for a. friend, which would require his attend- ancr‘ at a, public land sale on the follow- ing clay. “ He had brought; with him, he said, a sum of money which he desired to in- vest in land, on which it was his pur- pose to settle. I expressed a. strong wish to have him for a. neighbor, and gave him a. cordial invitation to accom- pany me home, giving it as my belief that he could nowhere make a. better selection than in that vicinity. “ At the land office, which was some sixty nules off, I met my old fz‘lend, George C He, too, had come to seek his fortune in the new country; and we were both delighted with the meeting. , -_ V-~--vu-v.

The prisoner was tried and convicted at a subsequent session, and at the last moment confessed his crime on the scaffold. “ My ‘udgment, as yours in the case before us leads to but one conclusion, that of the pisoner’s guilt; but not less confident and apparently unerring was the judgment that falsely pronounced my own.’ “ 'lhe real culprit, none other, it 1s needless to say, than he who had sought and abused my hospitality, had been mortally wounded in a. recent aflray 111 a distant city, but had lived long enough to make a. disclosure, which had been laid before the aovex nor barely 1n time to save me from a. shameful death, and condemn me to a cheerless and burden some life. This is my experience. “ The words, “full and free pardon,” were first to strike my preoccupied senses. They affected the bystanders more than myself. Yet; so it was 3 I was pardoned for an offence I had never committed. “The door of my cell opened, and the sheriff and his attendants entered. He held in his hand a. paper. It was doubtless my death~warrant. He began to read it. My thoughts were busied elsewhere. “ Death, hoWever unwelcome the shape, was now a portal beyond which I could see one angel waiting to receive me. I heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and nerved myself to meet the: expected summons. “She for whom I had gone to pre- pare a, home had already found one 1:: heaven. The tidings of my calamity had broken her heart. She alone, of all the world, believed me innocent; and she had died with a. prayer upon her lips that the truth might be brought to light. All this I had heard, and it had soothed as with sweet incense my troubled spirit. “I had so long stood face to face with death, had so accustomed my self to look upon it as only a momentary pang, that I no longer felt solicitous save that my, memory should one day be vindicated. “ On the. morning ofthe day fixed for carrying out the sentence I felt measur- ably resigned. “What I suffered in the interval before the day appointed for my exeâ€" cution few can imagine. “It may be hard for the condemned cr-m2na1 to meet death it is still harde: for him who is innocent. “AS little impresswn was made by the words of the judge which followed it, and his solemn invocation that God might have that mercy upon me which man was too just to vodchsafe, sounded like the hollowest of hollow mockeries. . “The absence of the. jury was very brief. To their verdict I paid but little- heed. It was a singlé hideous word, but I had long anticipated it, and it made no unpression. Extent of Britain’s Empire.

Rider Haggard in com- Eosite to tell of ms wonders. «Sam Francisco -mmguu The survey was ended, but the wonders of the trip were not over, Col. Allen discov- ered a. waterway hitherto unexplored in the delta of the Colorado, on which he traveled to within fifteen miles of Yuma. without entering the main Colorado. He finally reached the mz‘tin river by Carter’s River. Just a. few yards from the north side of the lake are the streams of milk. Several springs of boiling water are there, and from two of them flow ‘large streams of milky whiteness which color the soil as they course along. A hasty examination in- dicated that lime in solution colors the writer. To the touch the water feels oily. To the taste it is warm, salty, and bitter. In calm weather the surface of the water is covered from three to six inches with an ash-like substance. Millions of bubbles agitate the center, and sometimes the boil- ing makes waves that break blackly against the shore. The black pigment in the water does not discolor the skin. With six of his men Col. Allen viewed the lake of ink, the waters of which are covered by sulphur and iron. With- in three or four inches of the bank the stygian water lies not quietly, but fretted as though anxious to be clear. N ear the banks the water is ten feet deep and the temperature is 110°. Ten yards from the shore the bottom is far beyond the reach of the explorer’s line. The heat increases tOWards the center of the black pool, the thermometer registering | PAC! 150°. The warning was headed, but the expior- ers went far enough to take photographic views. Then they returned to Lake J ulul- lee and thence to Major Lake, the beauty of which tempted them to remain. With great caution was the approach made to the Great Chief and Gianta volca- noes. The sulphur-like crust would break beneath the weight of man and jets of stream shoot menacingly along his trousers, as though giving a. warning that the blast furnaces of the demons is no place for a. man to tread. From the shores of this beautiful lake may be watched the volcanoes, some silent and inactive, others at times violently ac- tive. At no time during the day or night are all the volcanoes at rest. First one, with a. sudden reur and a burst of smoke, shoots high into the air volumes of mud, rock, and a. rod mineral. Then others an- swer with a resounding detonation, and again a. dozen unite in a chorus of weird and appalling sounds and a. spectacle of glory. But another change, equally remarkable, is attributed to the violent. earthquakes during last July. This change is an in- crease in the area of the lake. It was five miles long and half a mile wide. It is twenty five miles long and LWuuty miles wide, and the depth is greatly increased. The earthquake and the change from salt; to fresh water have nearly cleared the lake of fish. ' _ The change from salt to frvsuh is attribut- ejl to the great overflow <1 the Colorado River last year. \Vhen the surveyors reached Lake Julul- lee another sulrprlse startled them. The Waters of the 19.1 .{e formerly were salt; now they were pure and fresh, and during a part of the survey in the arid regions twenty Indians were constantly employed carrying water from the lake over rugged neaks fer the use of the surv e) ors a vast. bed of nitrc of great, purity. This deposit is easily accessible from tide water and the value is incalculable. 'Near the sulphur mountain were found thousands of acres of deposit, of alum, and two miles north of the alum was discovered \Vhile near Lhig luminougpeak no smok- ing was permitted and no matches were lighted, for a. single span-k would set. on fire the whole mountain and send a cloud smoke heavenwwd that would do for a, signal to the people of Mars.

The cone that sends back the sun‘s blazing rays in their own hue is about 150 feet high. The sides are not: smooth, great bowldcz-s of clear sul- phur, tons in weigllb, resting on othsrs. With his party of sixteen men in four bouts he left Yuma. Sept. 1'2, and 111 four days, two of which _were spent on the Col- cmdo and two on Hardy’s Colorado, a. branch of the main river, reached Lake M ejor, where the survey began. out scones, seaweed, and sulphur. The exact information comes from Col. D. K. Allen, editor of the Arizona. Seminal, a. civil engineer, who was commissioned by the Mexican Governn‘ienb to make a. survey of the concession to Senator Gonzales of about. 200,000 acres 0t mineral, timber, agricultural and grazing land in Lower California. The truthful relation of careful investiga- tion is more marvelous than the strange stories of the Indians who have told tales of the wenders of the land where one vol- cano becomes silent and 100 new ones send out; scones, seaweed, and sulphur. The lake of ink, the streams of milk, and the mountains of sulphur have been meas- urgd and explored.
