Why so Abroad -when the Vailed States I» Full mt Unexplored Marvels?— tta Challln's Bevolntion la English History—Vincent's 700- Ton Nutcracker. New York, July 21.—It ^ia aa interesting conoideoce tbat in tbe bey-day of tbe season for travel, wben tbe world and his wife and even his poor relations are planning a roving campaign on tbis and perhaps several otber continents, or are already en route, the city of New Tork should hold within its confines two of the most famous travelers of this ceutury. That Paul Du Chaillu and Frank Vincent jr., are truthfully described in such a phrase cannot be doubted. It seems to become more tban an interesting coincidence when oae reflects that New York, tbe whirling centre ofthe most active literary, business and social life of the world to-day, is either the mother or tho foster-mother of nearly all those adventurous men who are ia the latter half of the nineteenth century following in the footsteps of Oaptain Cook, Mungo Park, Humboldt and th§ greatest travellers of former times. ■ Henry. M. Stanley claims, and is claimed by New York, as his domicile. Chaille Loug makes thb the base of supplies from whiob he sallies oat to lecture to tbe untraveled citizens of the interior. Prof. James Iiiecalton has just set out from this port with the most charming special commission any traveler ever had and bis home is not thirty miles away, in a suburb. Carl Louse, tbe Abyssinian lion-hunter, lives bere. David Kerr and Almont Barnes are practical Hew Yorkers So at heart %* Frank Cusbing, the Boston- ian, who found out Zululand. William T. Hornady, the last of the buffalo hunters and tbe delightful seeker out of big game and cold science ia tbe east, is often seen on Broadway and equips bere. There is travel ia the air tm Manhattan island— the genuine unrest of tba born traveller in the hearts of her children. And tbere are some fifty thousand travellers from elsewhere who stop here over night, day in and day oat. Paul B. Du Chaillu, one of tbe most successful and famous travellers of the century, the man to whom we owe the discovery and careful study of the man-monkeys aad dwarfs of Central Africa, ia a veteran New Yorker. This oity has been his home for twenty-fife years. He has been here on a brief visit to gratify the homesiokness which seizes him periodically sometimes oa the equator, sometimes inside the Artie circle. Wherever he is, once this nostalgia is ia possession of a brain but a moment before devoted to streatohing the confines of human knowledge and revealing new regions and aew beauties on tbe globe, iu a twinkling he posts away for New York, tiie centre of the earth and for the time being its most attractive spot to him I This was tbe occasion of his reappearance here. And that reappearance bas been the signal for a del age of boquets, dinner cards, and greetings of hand and heart. He has hosts of friends here, thia charming, unaffected, witty man of the world-^t world much bigger tban that of most of as—yet he won't go under aay roof ia all Gotham as guest or prince, as yoa like, bat that of bis old landlady of Twenty-third street, who never knows whether ber next letter wiil be from Ash- angoland or Siberia. Here is wbat the famous Da Chaillu says of his plans, Ua forthcoming .book of wbioh the American publio knows scarcely anything as yet, aad af that wonderful career of his which haa whiled away many a wrapt hour for American schoolboys as well as students, scholars and scientists: "Since you think the publie might be interested in learning more of my life and adventures tban bas beon printed, I will say that I was born ia New Orleans about 1845 of a Creole family. In tbese days tbe lovely aad still charming city of New Orleans was practically a French province. Everybody was French and everybody spoke |knd thought French. When tbe railroads began to come in all this was altered. There my boyhood aad youth were spent, globe-trotting being farther from my thoughts than heaven even. I went to Paris to school, as did so large a proportion of the better Cieole boys. There I saw something of the world and began to appreciate how big it was. Tbe French an born travelers far as the spirit of restlessness is concerned. I became infected returned to New Orleans and made my arrangements to start oat and go to the very lurtherest, least known and most interesting quarters of the globe ! "And this meant a great deal more in those days wben there are ao cabins and few railroads or steamboats. "I fitted ont my own little ship with my own money—I have always paid all my own expenses—and sailed from Now York for Africa. I was tben a little more than 18 years or age. Nobody knew or cared about me on my trip. I was gone three ot four yean. Tbere was no solicitude about my absence and ao special correspondent was sent to find me. I was unknown then, and I may say I am famous now. Yet for all my wanderings and strange scenes and my discoveries of strange people. I oan truthfully aay I never bad as good a time as in these days wben I was buried beyoud«r-the ken of civilization in equatorial Africa. I went where I pleased and did as I pleased. I was my own master, buoyant with youth, health and high spirits. "I am not old now. I am tiied, a little, by ye _rs of work OS my new book* bat I am not old. Yet the buoyant enjoyment of those firBt years of roving over the beart of Africa is gone. "1 prefer now to sit down and have my cbampaegn—bear would be moro appropriate for authors and writers like ourselves perhaps—with my friends, or to writs at my books. I used to fray the bottoms of ay trousers. Now I wear oat the seat. "It was on that first trip tbat I discovered tbe gorillas, or man monkeys—fellows more manly even than oar own Crowley here in the Park -and aa ferocious as ten savages. And tbe cannibals, too, whose rites are aa horrid as anything tbe earlier navigators imagined and horrider than anything found in the South seas. The existance of these gorillas and candi- bals in Africa had been in dispute since the time of Herodotus. I was lucky, for I settled it beyond dispute. "A few years afterwards I fitted myself out again and started from New York to the unknown portions of tbe Dark Continent. New York bas been my bome ever since tbat first voyage. I came here, saw Old friends and made new ones, and went travelling again. "This time I was gone about two years aad I found the dwarfs, the little creatures of a race as distinct from ours aa were tbe giants of old—almost treated as food for fable and talked of the children as fit company for faries. Yet there the dwarfs are. "My next traveling was done ia the nortb. For six years I roamed through' tbe Artie circle and along Northern Siberia. I and my reindeers were at home anywhere, in any temperature. Forty-five below zero were nothing to me. That is the land for me. In spite of all the mysterious fascination of tbe topics give me nortb, 'the Land of the Midnight San.' "Yet I wasn't satisfied to uve up there always. I'm a queer chap about that. Every once and again I mast split ofi bome to Now York. I haven't been here tas three years nntil now, and I leave again at onoe. It makes me feel old (he doesn't teak it) to come back bere and see how things have changed in twenty-five years. I haven't any small vices, however—which means, 1 suppose, that I don't smoke—and I can still vault eighteen feet! . "But I am no longer a traveller. It does seem strange, as you say, that| once bitten by the gad ly of globe-trotting, I should be willing to settle down and sit at a desk and gi ind. Yet tbat is what I have been doing for eight years ; and it isn't really grinding—I had three secretaries to do that. I am trying to upset English history, and I believe I shall succeed." M. Da Chaillu talked as he packed his trunks. He is a man of medium height, of erect, active bearing, witb a smooth, polished dome to his head, yet youthful looking in the face, in spite of keen black eyes that have a vague suggestion in them of a thousand-and-one odd scenes they have looked upon, and of healthy tan, now to some extent fa.Ied out by recent confin- meut, iu Ua uufurrowed cheeks. He is a man of distinction, as should be one who bas fathomed the secrets of the heart of the Dark Continent and the Land of the Midnight Sun. FUANK VIHCENT ASD THE LAND OP TO-MOBROW. WhatDu Chaillu did for Africa and Vikingland, Frank Vincent, jr., bas done for Cambodia, Burmah and Siam, the land of the White Elephant and the Land of To-Morrow, the drowsy of South and Central America, where "Manana" is always the cry. Mr. Vincent is a handsome man as impetuous and adventuruos a traveler as even Da Chaillu himself. He, too, ia writiDg a book which is expected to make valuable additions to history, and he too, haa hosts of friends in this metropolis of travel to whom he returns periodically fora season of respite and refreshment. Mr. Vincent and M. Da Chailiu returned to tbis city recently at nearly the same time. But great travelers ara not gregarious. Each wants at least a continent to himself. Tbe explorer and historian of the Land of tha White Elephant Jives for a good part of his time peacefully at Tarry town, where bis father lived before him. He has just come back from a 76,000 mile tour ef the tropical aad mountain mysteries of the wilds of South and Central America, Mexico and the West Indies. Mr. Vincent is a clear-eyed and broad shouldered young man, as able and willing to put the world a nder hte feet as Atlas was to carry it oa _*M shoulders. The American press has before now printed some of Mr. Vincent's impressions ot life and particularly of his life in South America and Mexico. But the truth has uot been told. When asked about tbe latest wonders that have fallen under hia observant eye Mr. Vincent said : "My latest journey lasted three years and covered 75,000 miles. I visited every state and capital of Spanish and Portuguese America. The countries whioh, on the whole, I found most interesting were Brazil, Mexico, the Argentine Republic and Guatemala. Among the many novelties and oddities of the great circuitous tour from Mexico to St. Thomas and Yen- ozuvela, I might just mention my visit to Quito, that Piohineha, the loftiest active volcano in tbo world; ascending from the coast by railway 13,000 feet above the sea to Bolivia, and passing over Lake Titicaco, the highest steamer navigation on the globe. "The fiords of Chilli I found surpassed in grandeur and beauty those of Norway as much as the latter excel those of Alaska. After visiting the Fuegiana in their island homes, I called at globe's southernmost town of Punta Arenas, ia the Straits of Magellan. I had some years previously visited the most northerly town in the world—Hammerfest, in Norway. "Hunting wild fowl in the Falkland islands proved and exciting sport. Bat I pushed on to the Argentine Republic, wbere, some 250 miles south of Buenos Ayers, is a remarkable rocking stone, a giant boulder weighing over 700 tons, and so nicely poised that It rocks in the wind and may be made to crack a walnut. Yet this rock is so firm that one of the old dictators, Rosas by name, once yoked 1,000 horses to it, but waa unable to displace it. The next piquant point of my travels was certainly Paraguay, where the women outnumber the men six to one, no fewer than 100,000 male Paraguayans have been eat off during the five years war with Brazil. "But the exploration of the great falls of tbe Iguassu was the most important and interesting event of my entire tour. The falls are situated hi the heart of the continent, upon the river of the same name, thirty miles from its junction with the Parana. They are aboat equally distant— say a thousand miles—southwesterly from Rio Janeiro and northwesterly from Buenos Ayres. My party consisted of thirteen Paraguayans, well-armed and well-provisioned. We made the journey partly upon the Iguassu in a great dag-out canoe and partly on foot through the primitive forest. Tbe river swarmed with alligators and great fish, some of them fifty pounds in weight. The woods were full of tigars, tapirs, wild pigs, deer, monkeys, partridges turkeys, squirrels, venomous snakes, and myriads of mosquitoes, gnats, butterflies, moths, ants, and other insect pests. "Tbe distriot is sparely settled with savage Indians, who have a disagreeable custom of shying poisoned arrows from behind trees at inquisitive strangers. Ia poling oar canoes up the river in a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit, two of my men were overcome by the heat and I had to wait a day for their recovery. So dense was the forest wa had actually to hew a tunnel for oar passage. "The first view of the great falls in tbeir solitary grandeur and beauty is perfectly overwhelming. You behold the 'Niagara of South Amerioa.' They have no such enormous volume of water as Niagara—what foils anywhere have—but they are fifty feet higher. They are separated by a great island somewhat like Goat Island. One fall, that on the Brazilian side of the river, is of a horseshoe shape and corresponds very well With the Canadian fall, while the other, oa the Argentine side, is a broad, straight sheet like the American fall. Tho first mentioned fall is about 2,000 feet ia width, the other 1,200 feet. Above the falls the river is about a mile in width, below them it is pressed between narrow walls of rock, and in its velocity raises with all the seething fury of the whirlpool rapids of Niagara. "From Rio Janeiro I took a thousand- mile tour into the interior, visiting the gold and diamond mines. Later I reached the great cataract of Paulo Afionzo in the San Francisco river, aad j ustly called the 'King of Rapids,' for it is by for the largest hi the world. In a distance of about a quarter of a pile it descends 250 feet by means of a series of gigantic tumultous cataracts. "Afterwards came to me the remarkable experienoe ofa two-thousand mile voyage up the sealike Amazon; another, also of great interest, up the Orinoco; a visit to the wonderful pitch lake of Trinidad a great, bottomless bed of asphaltum, a half mile in diameter, hard and cold on its borders, but soft and hot towards the middle. "Next there was a eall at the little island ot Curacoa, with its curious capital, whose gaily colored walls make it resemble a children's toy town. Tbe well- known and esteemed Curacoa liquor is made from small oranges or orange peel and cinnamon and cloves digested in comparatively weak spirits. The celebrated foils of Tequendama, near Bogota, the same heieht of 900 feet as tbe familiar BridalVeU foil ia the Yosemite vaUey. An excursion to the Tequendama and return tothe Carribbean sea and Aspin- wall completed one of the most toilsome ba)t interesting journeys I have ever made." Aad just bere a poiat was made tbat ought to come home to every American. When the secret places of tha old world have all been explored by adventurous Americans, wbat will be left for them to do? Where can they find a virgin field for tbe indulgence of their lust of travel, their desire for something new, their craze for virgin forests, untrodden canyons, un* navigated rivers? Why, where else, to be sure, than right on their owa North American continent and to an almost inconceivable degree in tiie limit of tbeir own United States ? Tbe whole country is already watching the result of the voyage two frontiersmen have jnst begun down the marvelous, and mysterious, magnificent canyon of the Colorado. Li Canyon Land who knows what mysteries may still lurk? Who knows the secrets of the three Tetons, the romance and reality of the Lone Cabin Mine, the contents of tbe air eaves of the Wind River Mountains? "What, ia yoar opinion,'*' was asked Mr. Vincent, "are the points of chief interest for globe-trotters on the American continent, and more particularly the almost unexplored nooks of North Ameriea and tbe United States?" "There are within the limits of the United States five great natural curiosities which, as sights and scenes, are unrivalled elsewhere throughout the world. These are Niagara Falls, the Yellowstone Park, tbe Yosemite Valley, the Grand Canyon | of the Colorado aud Mammoth Cave. With these five champion shows we easily lead all lands. Nowhere on earth is there {^region of equal size containing so great a variety of natural wonders and beauties as onr famous National Park 1a Wyoming. The Grand Canyon of tiie Colorado is less explored and less accessible, but to my mind it is the most sublime sight in North America. Think of a vast rent in the earth 300 miles in length, 15 miles in width and 7,000 feet in depth ! Tbere are in this profound gorge rocky cliffs as massive as the giant domes of Yosemite and mountain peaks aa lofty as Mount Washington. The stream at the bottom looks from the rim of the plateau like a tiny brook, bat it is actually a raging torrent 3,000 feet in width. The nearest approach to the most stupendous portion of the Grand Canyon is Flagstaff, a small town on the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, whence the journey of seventy-five miles maybe made on horseback or ia a mountain wagon. Provisions aud tents mast be taken." "What do you consider the most interesting parts of other countries for the explorer and traveller ?" "Perhaps, roughly speaking, Central Asia and Central Africa present the most fertile fields. Though setting aside the vast polar regions, at the north 500 miles in diameter aad at the south nearly 1,000, as wholly beyond the scope of ordinary exploration of travel, there are still remaining unknown immense sections in northern and southern Sonth America, in Borneo, New Guinea, New Britain, and Solomon's Group. "I don't know of any more interesting or important foreign exploration than tbat of northern South America. "For the daring explorer northwestern Africa furnishes a fascinating prospect. "For ths simple traveller, however, who perhaps woald like a greater certainty of returning to 'tell his tale,' I would suggest my own prime favorites, whioh are Egypt, India, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Italy and the United States." And that Mr. Vincent returns to tell a most interesting tale there is no doubt. He bas been travelling eleven years, and has traversed a distance of 265,000 miles. His success as a writer is quite as gratifying as that of M. Du Chaillu. Tbey are both bachelors and men of tbe world— both students, and not curiosity seekers. Mr. Vincent is now bard at work on tiie great literary work of his life as M. Da Chaillu has been on his. Mr. Vincent is tall, dark-haired, grey-eyed. His 1% moustache bristles with energy. He is slender in figure and pleasing in manner. His father founded a well-known dry goods house here, and the sou grew up to read Captain Cook, Peter Pindar, Marco Polo and Mungo Park, and then to scorn second-hand travel and start oat for himself. John Paul Bobocx. THE DEFENSE. Nehemiah Strong, a zealous and faithful Quaker, was smitten with the "western fever" some years since, and finally removed to the regions where 'squatter sovereignty' was being experimented upon. But squatter or any sovereignty, troubled Nehemiah but little. He was a man true to his creed. Wherever his lot might be cast, there would he live ia peace and quiet with his fellow men. The proper location was soon found, and when Nehemiah bad made a clearing and built a log house. He was monarch of all that he surveyed and staked. Bat Strong was not allowed to remain long in peaceable possession. Bolder and more evil men lived ia tbese western regions than he had ever before met, and iu the absence of any very positive or very available fow, they did not hesitate to take the management into their owa hands. A few reckless jould thus, by combining for a common purpose rule a great number of more timid or more respectable people, driving them from their houses, or dealing with them as they would. Strong, notwithstanding his blameless life aud gentle religion, did aot loog escape these vultures of the west. His home attracted the notice of a desperado named Bob Bellows, who determined to possess it, in as much as it would be much easier than building a house for himself, or perhaps driving away a more determined man. Besides, Ae honest Quaker had not forgotten wheat, potatoes, corn and other provisions for a comfortable winter, which season was now ap proaching, though still quite distant. Accordingly, one day, Bob Bellows, armed to tbe teeth and looking especially ferocious, rode to tbe cabin and inquired for the owner. The Quaker chanced to be inside at the moment and quietly an- swered the summons. "Does thee wish to see me ?" bs asked, gaziug upon the intruder with some degree of alarm, notwithstanding his peaceful nature. 'Wal, yes,' growled the ruffian. 1 thought I'd ride over and see what in the old boy you'd goqe and set yoar house on my land for I That's all I wanted ter see yer fer P • 'Thee is mistaken,' returned Nehemiah. 'This land belong solely to me, one Nehemiah Strong, thy humble servant.' 'You lie 1' was tbe rejoiner, this is my land, and now as yer shanty is stuck on here, jest in the place where I was goin' to put my own, I'll be easy with yer, aad say nothin' about the law if ye'll just get oat of here and be beyond sight aud heariii' to-morrow morning. What d'ye say to that?' 'Verily, I believe thee a villian I* returned Nehemiah, finding that he was not to be immediately eaten np or run through. This is my home, and the home of my family; yet thee seek to torn me from it, and leave myself and family to starve. Nay, I cannot constrain myself to depart thus. Thee has no right nor title here to my knowledge. If tbee has produce it and I will depart freely.' 'Look ye, you old robber, hissed the desperado, *I have a claim here. I sar- vayed this land near ten years ago and made my marks. If yoa have cut them down it'll be all the wass for ye. Pve plenty of witnesses who know about it, and I needn't tell thee 'tis a bad scrape tew be guilty of cuttin' away your neighbors' landmarks. How, I shall be here to-morrow morin,' and If ye know when yer well off, you'd better not be bere at the same time 1' With this unmistakable threat the outlaw turned and rode away, leaving tbe Quaker in no enviable frame ot wind. We may bave stated before although it may be quite as well to say here, that Strong's family consisted of his wife and two daughters, with a son, Mark, about 12 years of age. Tbe daughters, hearty, buxom girls of 22 and 20 years each, named respectively Rath and Naomi, were full of natural life and decision, quite unlike what the daughters of a meek Quaker woald naturally become. They, with tbe mother, a middle-aged gentlewoman, who strove bard to live aa the tennets of her faith required, gathering about the husband and father. The latter sank upon a chair, seeming quite discouraged and disheartened by the event which had jist occurred. 'Verily I know aot what course to pursue,' he mourned. 'I can't afford to leave this house and the growing crops smiling upou us with promise of sustenance for the winter. I fear this villain is a rascal of atter dye, who wiB aot hesitate at bloodshed. It may be well to go, yet I must remain for a time.' An anxious night was passed, and very early tbe next morning all hands were astir. The sisters had been engaged in conclusion daring tbe night and when they descended from the loft, Rath drew her father aside. 'What will thou do, father, in case those bad men oome?' she asked. 'Verily, I know not,' ko replied, 'I have studied upon the matter all night, but my mind is far from being fixed. If they insist upon it, I suppose we shall be obliged to flee, onr religion doth not allow us to fight with carnal weapons.' 'Let us manage that, father,' the girl insisted. 'Truly we cannot fight, for we bave no worldly weapon, bnt I much think if we are aot sadly mistaken we can induce these outlaws to go tbeir own way.' 'I pray that thou may est, my daughter,' tbe father returned, 'though I know not how women can persuade such fearful beings.' 'But thou wilt leave the matter to Naomi aud myself if they come.' .Tes, daughter,'was the reluctant as. sent, thee oan have thy way; bat I pray thee do nothing rashly. The maiden went her way well satisfied, and in a short time had a vigorous kettle over the fire containing a small quantity of water. Wheu this was brought to a boil more was added until the kettle was nearly fall. 'Surely, Ruth, thou dost not intend to wash to-day,' the mother remarked, see. ing these preparations. 'Never mind, mother, was the signi- cant reply. 'Naomi and I may need to do a little washing, but I shall not disturb thee.' The youug ladies were quite accustomed to having their own way, so no demur was made, although an attack from the outlaws was every minute expected. The morning meal was eaten witb devotional fear, and almost before the table bad been cleared, Bob Bellows, accompanied by five oi six rascals like unto himself, rode up to the door. 'Come!' he shouted, from his horse 'get out of here in quick time. I told yon to be gone before I came.' Nehemiah Strong rose to his feet and approached the door, hot was pulled back by Ruth, who said: 'Stay there, father. Thee promised that sister and I might meet these vagabonds ofthe earth and deal witb them/ 'But it is not fit ' ba commenced to say. The brave girl, however, waited for no - answer, bat springing to the door, she said : 'This is our home, and truly we will not be driven from it save in a legal manner. We would never resist officers of the law, and if tbey come in duo form we will obey them, Imt such as tbou art we neither fear nor obey.' 'By my soul, little Quakeress,' the rascal cried, 'you've a heap of life in yonr delicate body, and I don't mind if yoa stay. But the rest mast tramp 1 Come, git out of this, or we will throw ye oat.' 'We shall not go, neither shall we be thrown out,' returned Ruth. 'We do not fight witb carnal weapons, for such is not ear faith, but if yoa meddle with us jou will speedily find yourselves in hot water.' •Come on, fellers,' said Bob as he sprang from his horse. 'See if one of these pr. yin' girls kin fight on their knees as well as we can afoot.' With a hoarse laugh the marauders sprang from their animals, and, when they had been fastened to tbe Quaker's garden fence they tnrned to the dwelling. But the door wa*k fastened against them. 'No danger from bullets, boys,' tbe the leader laughed 'so we'll bave some fun. Plenty of wood here to make a ram of. Sam yoa get a stick, while I persuade 'era to open tbe door for us.' In accordance with this plan, a small log was raised by four of the men, while Bob grasped tbe door aud shook it violently. 'Open,' he said, witt many oaths and disgusting language, whiob we have bo right to record; 'open, or it'll be the wuss for ye. We'll break the door down, and ye'll find a nest of roarfo* w ild cats in yer late peaceful home. Yea, verily ye will.' Bat bis words brought ao response, and presently the men bearing the log approached. •Smash her down,'he growled. 'They are stubborn as , or they are goin' to play some trick on us.' The bearer* of the battering ram now approached, and Bob, after giving the door two or three not very geutle kicks, indicated the place wbere the blow should be given. But even while the log was poised, and almost ready to desccud, the valiant leader ofthe gang gave a fearful howl, and sank upon the ground, crawling away like a huge spider, and accompanying every movemeut with a groan. 'Why, Bob, wbat ails yer ?' demanded one of his followers, iu surprise Before any answer could be given, however, the questioner executed a like movement, and with very little less adieu hasteued from the vicinity, closely followed by all the others. To explain the cause of their discomfiture, we must return to the interior of the house. When Ruth closed and barred the door the plan she had in mind was soon made adparent. Noami had been to the loft and now returned with an eugiae which had been used in watering the garden during the summer months, io fact, within a few days. It was very simple in design, being merely a hollow cylinder, fitted witb a piston, the whole forming no more nor less thau a large squirt gun. Tbis tbe sisters had put in perfect working order the night previous, wben tbey would otherwise have been sleeping, so that it was now all ready for ase. It required bat a fow moments to fill the cavity with the boiling water, aad when it was forcibly ejected by the indignant maiden's arms, landing upou the persou and clothing of Bob Bellows, it ia easy to forsee that the recipient did as the Quakeress had affirmed, 'find himself in bot water.' Hot was he alone, for before the alarm had fully been taken every one of tbe others had received a sprinkling, which at suoh short range did most effective service. It was some time before tbe riders ventured to return and unhitch their horses, bat tills they finally did, and galloped away as though some fiend was in pursuit of then. 'Verily the spirit constrained me to laugh, yes, to laugh heartily,'the fatber remarked as he beheld the ignoble flight. 'But, my Ruth, I verily fear tbee hath awakened this man's undying ire, and tbat we may sutler iu turn.' 'No matter, father; we need not borrow trouble. They are disposed of for the present, and something seems to tell me they will not be back.' Tben as she recollected the uncouth manner in which tbey had hastened away, she gave herself up to a hearty laugh, in wbich aB present joined. For many weeks Nehemiah Strong held himself ia r adiness to vacate tbe home he had found and bis daughters defended, but they were not called upon to do so. No doubt Bob Bellows would have faced a cabin full of men, bat the novel and determined opposition of the young ladies had the efiect of deterring him from making his appearance ever after.

As Quick As Thought. Farmer Strongarm, splitting rails to fence his latest purchased ten acres, raised his axe in the air for a powerful blow. The day was warm, but the farmer minded it little. He bad labored thus year in, year out, from boyhood to vigorous old age. He had beon more thrifty than his neighbors, and no year passed when he did not increase somewhat the extent of his farm, or purchase some valuable farming implement, wbile his herds and flocks grew steadily. He was a wealthy man, but idle he could not be, and if for nothing else than tbe mere enjoyment of hard work, he must split rails, as he had done forty years ago. Children he had none, for he had been too busy getting land to thiM*. of taking a wife. The whole oounty envied bim, but a more sunless life than his was never lived by choice. He never gave anything away, not as much as a crumb to the birds ; and his bank account grew, as his other possessions did, faster than he dared or cared to acknowledge. He raised bis axe. At that moment a robin, bearing in its beak a fat worm, flew past the farmer, and made for its nest in tbe old tree. Now Former Strongarm had seen thousands of robins in his time without a second thought; bat this one set at work in bis mind a swift train of recollections, ln Nature's lexicon bird stand for thoughts, and with good reason. The free air is their element; they come, we know not whence, and go, we know not whither, like a flash of ligbt. There is no ead to their variety, no limit to their beauty of plumage aad of song. Farmer Strongarm noticing the robin's flight, was reminded of something that happened sixty years before. He had been tbe eldest of a numerous family, and a prime favorite with his father. One morning as they wore at week together in the field, a robin had flown by, just as now, freighted with a plump worm. "See," his fatber had said, "that bird is doing what aB the rest of God's world is doing, working hard for somebody else." Through the long past the farmer heard with the marvelous ear of memory, his father's voice again. He was a kind father, and had spent his life delving for his children with not a tithe of the success that had been attained by his eldest son, measuring by lands and dollars. But by the guage of good deeds and helpful woids, Sow vastly greater had been his accomplishment. He was never too tired of an evening to tell just one more story, or play one last game of romps ; never too sound asleep of nights to get op and grope about for a drink of water for the thirsty little throats; never too much in a hurry of morning to take into his own bed tbe childish feet that oame pattering over the oold floor, and rub them warm. He never grudged the growing circle of plates atthe table, nor looked askance when they came tban more onoe to be filled. He knew fonr to lend, hoping for nothing again : to cheer, instead of chide. Even when his eldest son, a wayward boy, had chafed at home restraints, and longed for a battle witb tto world, be bad only sighed thoughtfully, and shaken his head with a kind and questionable look in his fatherly •yet. The boys did not appreciate his home, and left it oae morning early, without saying good-bye; aad pushing west- ward, by dint of grit and labor won his fortune. The same selfishness that had tempted him to thus wantonly desert those who held him dear kept him from ever returning to them, lest, perchance, they might claim something of his substance to eke out their own. So they had died ; tto good old father, tto tireless, faithful mother ; and the brothers and sisters had one by one grown up, married, aud prospered or not, as their energy aud opportunities determined. Where they were now. Farmer Strongarm neither know aor cared. Wait an instant 1 That moment when the axe was poised was to the eye tot brief ; in thoughts it held it might have been a life-time. Pictures of chilhood came crowding together, with all the more distinctness because they had never beon recalled before. In fancy the farmer saw once more the old homestead, half hid amongst tbe trees, with its moss-covered walls and its weather-beaten roof; within the evening- lamp burned brightly, and shone bravely on scenes of peace and love. There was father, spectacles on nose, conning Poor Richard's Almanac for weather prophecies; there was mother in her ample apron, darning the boys' stockings—and what great boles she found in tbem I There were brothers and sisters, tbis one studying his lesson, aad that one whittling out a kite ; others playing checkers or jack- straws, the baby sleeping sweetly in his cradle; and about all the halo of affection. In that same room, how often had he sat upou hie father's knee, and heard most marveleons stories about giants aad faiiies, the travels of Siabad, and tbe wonderful lamp of Aladdin. How often had his I mother with willing hands pat up his luncheon, and kissing him fondly, sent him ofl to school. AB the old home-life oame back to him in tto twinkling of an eye. i And how waa it with them n >w ? Where | were the brothers and sister., be had played with? And why had he chosca i * be so solitary, to labor for himself alone, when even tto robins, obedient to their universal rule, made in their joy to work for others? His axe decended but where it struck it stayed.' The farmer sat down upon the log he had been splittiug, and resting his chin upon his hands, thought loug and earnestly. The next day and the next, and many afterwards, saw changes in him, that the neighborhood found it hard to account for. The men who worked for him had more time to breathe, and began to be surprised witb invitations to take things from the garden home to their families. The boys who year after year had looked witb longing eyes at tiie cherries which overloaded this fortunate farmer'f_£rees, but who knew hia too well to think of tresspassing, ceald hardly believe their own ears, when he asked them to jumpover the fence and help themselves. Even the stray dogs, that had always by common consent given tbe farm a wide berth, made it a regular calling place, being sure of a hospitable reception. Greatest wonder of all, when Fall came, the former packed his gripsack, and weut off on a vacation I But imagine tho consternation of the good neighbors when to came back again accompanied by tbree youngsters whom ho proudly introduced as his sons by adoption, oat who really were kinfolk that he had turned ap in a vigorous search for "somebody to work fort' And now dawned at the farm a new day, an order of things so difierent from tbe old, that those who tod known Farmer Strongarm for half a century shook tbeir heads doubtfully, and guessed that be was not altogether right in the head. This was not, however, the opinion of good, old Doctor Hugeheart, who rubbed his hands together at every new bit ot gossip, and laughed in gleeful approval at the reckless generosity, that seemed at this late day to have developed in the old farmer's character. "Aad I" cried the doctor, "last week he cancelled the mortgage on Widow Weed's little farm; this week he gave away every turkey ia the place, to serve as Christmas dinners for families that couldn't afford to buy, and next v.'eek every boy in tbe borougb is to come up to his farm for a New Year frolic, just to please those adopted sous of his 1 And this, you say, is a sign tbe old man is not in his right mind ? I tell you, he never was in bis right mind until now, that's my opinion 1" Well, that opinion found favor in the community, for whereas there bad been nothing but envy and ill-feeling against the rich farmer ia the old days, now every one had a smile and a good word for him, and many a blessing was asked for him by grateful hearts, whose needs he had been able to see and to supply. Indeed, so pi onounced became the publio sebtiment in his favor, that one evening a goodly number of his neighbors, headed by a big bass drum, borrowed from the nearest village, maiched boldly ia at his front door, and presented him with au unabridged dictionary, "as containing,"their spokesman remarked, "tto fittest language to express their high appreciation of his public spirited character." Farmer Strongarm was no orator, and he was taken by surprise ; bat he did hini- telf and his country credit in the eloquence of his reply. "My friends," he said, "I am glad to have you think I deserve the kindness. 1 kuow there was a time when you wouldn't 'a thought of doing it. But things are different now, and its of a robin and a worm." Then he told them the story that we have beard already, and continued : "Well, friends, I was like a worm my. self, a worm that has grubbed along all his life in the dirt, aad never looked up; but tbat robin, when he lifted that worm, lifted me at tbe same time, and he hadn't settled on his tree before I had thought my whole life over again. I'll be bound he hadn't more than finished feeding that worm to his little ones before I had made up my mind that the robin's, and not the worm's example was the one I was going to follow from that time on. Yes, friends," he continued, looking around with a kindly smile, "I'd been working for myself fifty years and more, and a hard master I had ; lately, I've been working for somebody else, for everybody else that I cau think of, in fact; and you can believe me, I wouldn't swap situations with the President himselfv—ffaftrwl Grubb. LOG-HOUSE3 Not Sa Dncomfortoule as They Appear te tte, ASSSK JUS. To those who have never had a practices! experience of a life in the lowly edifice depicted below, it may appear that the discomforts would he of endless variety and of huge dimensions. Thoso Wt__ i wbo have erected their household godj* in them can testify that life is quite endurable under proper circumstances. 1} is altogether a question of the "circumstances," however, and those which were in use in tho State of Ohio when tho "log houses" were the fashion were not calculated to arouse any considerable amount of hankering after them. The above out is a correct copy of one re-erected in the grand park of the Centennial Exposition, and which has a history particularly interesting at this time. It was built during the early part of the century in Indiana, and was occupied by Oaa. William Henry Harrison during the campaign in which occurred the famous battle of Tippecanoe. It was used in the famous "log-cabin and hard-cider campaign" of 1840, when the General was elected President of the United States, and is in an excellent state of preservation. This is a typical log-cabin of the primitive variety. Another is erected on the opposite side of the park, which indicates the influence of esthetics, and that Indians were not quite so numerous or officious fo their attentions as in the neighborhood where the other was built. The logs of which it was built wero hewn square, and some attempt at symmetry was made. The chimneys of both cabins are a faithful reproduction of one of the forms ia vogue ia pioneer times, when the quarrying of stone for the purpose was considered "too much work tat a shilling.'' These rude structures mark one limit of the time which has elapsed since the settlement of the Ohio Valley and Central States, while the magnificent buildings of the Centennial Exposition mark the other; er, to express it figuratively, 1788 to 1888. MRS. CALEB WOR-iv, Tlie First White Woman Born In Cincinnati. Still Llvlnc. Mrs. Caleb Worley was born ln Fort Washington, located at the corner of Third and Ludlow streets, Cincinnati, of which a true reproduction may be seen in the Pioneer Department of tbe Centennial Exhibition, on May 11,1796. Hi-r father, George Adams, was a cousin of Daniel Boone. He was a Xew Englauder, and a soldier in the war of the Revolution, and was mustered out at its close, either in Virginia or North Caroliha, the records being uncertain on this point. When Daniel Boone made his second visit to Kentucky Mr. Adams accompanied him and chose it for his homo, remaining there until a number of settlements wero started. He was married about this time. Being commissioned a Major ia the army, he was detailed for Fort Washington, and, with his wife and two boys, came to what is now Cincinnati. During his stay here Mrs. Worley was born. Subquently Major Adams left the service, and entered a tract of land six miles below Dayton, near tho present site of the town of Carlton, Upon the breaking out of the war of 1812 he again resumed service as a soldier, and was badly wounded during thA defeat of Gen. Harmar, receiving seveft bullets through the body. At thp close of the war he moved to what i$ uort known as Darke County. While there his daughter married Caleb Worley, in the year 1816. Mr. Worley and hts wife remained there for a time, but in 1823 they removed to Covington, ln Miami County, at which place she still resides. Although over ninety ydkfs of age, Mrl Worley enjoys tolerably good health, although troubled with nervousness, which has prevented her attendance at the Pioneer meetings in Cincinnati. Not only is Mrs. Worley the first female child born ia tills city, but she ia said to bv the oldest living native of the State, and tlje oldest member of the Christlaa Church, at whose services she is ay regular an attendant as is possible for one of her advanced age.
