The Chicago Inter-Occan's corres-

expedition writes as follows:
AMONG THE RUINS.
As we marched down the La Plata we
first struck the signs of the old forgot-
ten tribes that used to own this country,
and from that time clear down the San
Juan and up the Mancos we have never
been away from the ruins of their
houses. On the La Plata and Upper
San Juan Rivers they seem to have been

they seem to nave b<
generally built of adobe, or rather of a
kind of rough rubble masonry of cobble-
stones and adobe, and have now
crumbled away, leaving only a ring or
series of circular rings of dirt and cob-
ble-stones to mark their sites. We
found these remnants often in quite con-
siderable villages ranged on the low ter-
races which lino the river banks.
Around these rivers, and indeed scat-
tered over the whole country, we find
the greatest quantity of fragments of
crockery. Their genius for breaking
must have rivaled some of the imported
help of our Northern States, and even
then it would have required long gene-
rations to break so much. The frag-
ments are seldom bigger than the hand,
and range from that size down to the
smallest bits, and as I said are literally
scattered broadcast over the whole
region, being the thickest near the
rums. 1 have pieces which 1 picked up
on the high mesulamls more than fifteen
miles from any water, and then have
seen them as 1 rode along all the way
down to the river. The pottery is gen-
erally quite fancifully figured and
glazed, the last an art seemingly lost
now among the most civilized tribes of
the Southwest. The. lightness of the
pottery brings, of course, most of the
fragments to the surface of the ground
and into sight, but even if there were
not a single piece beneath the ground it
seems impossible that a people could
have had and broken in centuries so
much as we have seen within the last
three weeks. Aside from the pottery
there seems little noteworthy in the
remnants of this people along the La
Plata River, but as we descend the San
Juan and ascend the Mancos the ruins
constantly become more curious and un-
acco . itablc.
Between the San Juan, the Mancos,
and the La Plata there lies in a triangu-
lar shape an area of some 000 square
miles which does not contain a drop of
water. Within this area, and up those
long drv gulches which l have describ-
ed, we ton ad perched up on the blufls
their houses, without a drop of water
nearer than the river.
Win WERE THEY BUILT THERE?
It can be explained only in one of
two ways. Either there have been
great climatic changes here, or they
were used only in the winter when these
gulches contained some water and the
open plains were bleak and cold. 1
hardly know which is the most proba-
ble.
As we go down the San Juan we find
the character of the houses gradually
changes. Instead of cobble stones they
began to use the more convenient flat
and broken stones from the el ill's, and
emploved tin* adobe merely as annular
to cement them with,, or rather to lay
them in, making their walls often two
or more feet thick, partitioning them
inside to suit their fancy, and piercing
them with doors and windows. Down
here, too, we found our first
CAVE HOUSES,
where these people had assisted nature
in scooping out a hole in the soft sand-
stone of the river cliff, squared it up
either by digging out or wailing up the
rounded cornels of the cave: and then,
in many cases, plastering their home-
on the inside with adobe, they had
quite a comfortable and well protected
habitation. At one place in particular,
on the Sail Juan River, we found quite
an extensive village of this kind. Above
these cave houses the terraces were
pretty generally built upon, find ap-
parently at about the same time, the
foundations and broken walls -till
standing where they -tood hundred- of
year- ago. But here, as all the way
along this river and the La Plata ,* 1 see
little to indicate that the people were
either warlike or standing much on the
defensive: their home- were the natural
buildings of a people leading a pastoral
or an agricultural life in such a place,
and are curious more for the civiliza-
tion that they-how than for any other
reason.
A- we leave the broad valley of the
San Juan, and go up the Mancos, the
character of the ruins again changes.
For forty miles the Mancos cuts in a
canyon of a thousand feet or more, di-
rectly through the Mesa Verde. It wa-
nt about the entrance of this canyon
that we saw this change. At first it
was not marked. We saw more, of the
round watch towers (which appear in
places further down) and found them
more commandingly located, while the
houses, built in villages, were placed
at some position where access was easy
only from one direction. They were
not, in the lower canyon, usually
placed high, but more often tucked
away in tin* edges of the cliff two or
three hundred feet above the river bed.
Built like swallows’ nests under the
overhanging rock, 1 myself was skepti-
cal about their defensive character, and
laid their location to the laziness of
their builders, who, as 1 supposed, had
ef them all. Clear up in the top es-
carpment of the cliff, a measured 9(H)
feet above the river, were these build-
ings, placed in villages, in single
houses, and in little groups, according
to the length of the shelf on which they
stood. No possible access from above,
no possible access from below, except-
ing some single narrow path where they
had made their steps and carried up
their water and their food. They were
so high that even in this clear air it re-
quired the closest looking with the
naked eye to distinguish them at all,
and then only as mere specks upon the
cliff, while only with the glass could
their forms and arrangement be at all
distinctly made out.
We climbed the cliff in three places
and found them built and fastened on
with wonderful dexterity. To liken
them to swallows’ nests is the best do
scription I can give of their attachment
and appearance. The shelves are sel-
dom more than ten feet wide and often-
er less, and even this narrow ledge is
not entirely flat, but rounded over on
the outer edge. But narrow, rounded,
as they are, on these shelves they build
their houses, starting from the back
side and building out toward the outer
face, anxious to get every inch of width
they can, till finally they get the outer
wall (as is shown in one of Mr. Jack-
son’s photographs) standing clear on
the rounded outer-shelf edge, requiring
probably in some cases an artificial
means of passing round outside.
The construction of these houses is
much superior to those below, the
stones being quite carefully hewn and
laid ill a strong adobe mortar and bond-
ed in a quite mechanical way. in two
cases in this canyon we found the houses
to be two stories high, and would prob-
ably have found more, of them to be so
if closely visited, as there arc doubtless
a great number which we did not not
see. Indeed, there is one of the can-
yon houses quite authentically reported
further north, built in three stories.
Much protected from the weather by
tlu> overhanging cliffs and further pre-
served by the exceeding dryness of this
climate, these cliff houses show a won-
derful state of preservation, looking
sometimes as fresh as if but a few years
built, the mortar even being still to a
degree clean and whole. 1 should hard-
ly believe they could have attained the
;ige awarded them, hut that they seem
indisputably to date back so far that a
century or two is of small moment.
We shall, I understand, strike, more of
both tins and other kinds as we pass
south and west, but none, I dare say,
more curious than these cliff houses,
and none which can contain more hid-
den history.
SPEC!'RATIONS AM) TRADITIONS.
Knowing little about them except
what 1 have seen, 1 will not pretend to
theorize concerning them, or give any
estimate as to their origin or age. The
popular theory puts them back about
800 years—a date based, quite likely,
on an old Ute tradition running back
about that time. The Utes now hold
the country, and have held it for a long
series of generations. Their tradition
tells of an ancient peoplo living in the
ruins of the South, that they lived in
houses made of stone, and were much
richer and less warlike than the Indians
of the North. That the Ute- made war
upon this people, and drove them from
the valleys to the tabic lands; then,
again, when they got stronger, attack-
ed them and dispersed them, and that
after that they took refuge in the deep,
close canyons, and built these houses in
the cliffs and lived in them till, few and
scattered, they faded out.
At tin' same time, the Utes say, the
Moquis of to-day are of the same peo-
ple, which doubtless i- the ea.-c. Such
a tradition may not be worth much,
I but, like all traditions, it has probably
I some foundation upon fact. The indi-
cations are very strong 1 hat they arc
the same people who once lived in peace
in• tin* La Plata and San Juan, more
later forced to hide in the high cliffs of
the Mancos canyon; and it is also pret-
ty certain that all the lower ruins are of
a very ancient date. Ruins and people
of a curious kind, and showing a cu-
rious civilization, exist from here clear
down to Mexico, and though a great
deal lias long been known of them in
scientific circles, they have only lately
become much popularly written on.
The curious ways they have, and have
had long ago, arc full of interest, and
even in the ones that we have seen, go
a long way toward repaying us for our
travels in the horrid country where they
are found.

Luck Was With llim.
A Massachusetts paper says that a
drunken man actually drove a hor.-e and
wagon at 11 o’clock of a recent evening,
on the Boston and Albany Railroad
track from Spencer, three miles, to
East, Brookfield, without harm, beyond
dropping bis groceries and boot boxes
by tho.way. He crossed numerous cat-
tle-guards , and finally ran his wagon
down a bank, and roused up Agent
Adams to help him out of the predica-
ment. lie dodged all the night freight
and owl passenger trains, and avers
that one of them “turned out for him.”
—A can of powder exploded in a burn-
ing building at Ann Arbor, Mich., inju-
ring some 30persons who were near by.
artesian well, and uisfed for that purpose
a derrick, consisting of three pieces of
timber fastened together at the top, in
the shape of a tripod. This derrick
was fastened by means of a heavy log
chain wound around the timbers at the
top, attached to which was an auger for
the purpose of boring the well, which
was turned by horsepower. The first
portion of the well, for a distance of
twenty feet, had been carefully bricked
up, iuul the boring continued from
there. The diameter of the well is
thirteen inches, and on Monday night
the auger had penetrated a distance of
125 feet.
The next morning a gas chamber was
penetrated, and upon the removal of
the auger the wooden tubingtfchot out of
the well, immediately followed by a
stream of gas, wafer, mud, and stones
that rose to a distance of nearly two
hundred feet in the air, while the ground
shook as if an earthquake had convulsed
it. Stones weighing from ten to twenty
pounds were projected in the air and
fell in all directions, some of them
crashing through the roof of Mr. Hahn’s
house and barn, and compelling his
family to seek another habitation. The
heavy log chain binding the derrick was
cut by the Hying missiles into a dozen
pieces, and the farm, upon which a
stone could not have been found pre-
vious to this phenomenon, was literally
covered with large and small ones.
The velocity of this discharge con-
tinued for eight or ten hours without in-
termission , when the monster was found
to have spent his fury, and the stream
and noise gradually subsided. The
crops of Mr. Ilahn were completely de-
stroyed by the falling debris and the
streams of water which ran in all direc-
tions. Many people visited the well,
and many are still coming, and Mr.
Halm, to* restore as nearly as possible
his loss, has inclosed the well within a
rail fence, and charges the moderate
sum of five cents for the satisfaction of
individual curiosity. The water, still
bubbling, may be seen at a great depth
by the aid of a mirror, which reflects
the sun's rays into its depths.—Chicujo

Babies and Dirt.
A writer in the Metropolitan says:
We once asked an old Winnebago
squaw how it was that she cured her
sick family by simply covering them
every da\ with fresh earth, leavingonly
a breathing spot for their noses, and
lie said: “Earth our mother. Earth
make she, and earth take good care to
make -die papooses strong; squaw-moth-
■r make she papooses sick; earth-moth-
t make sh papooses well again. She
can’t tell white squaw am more.” Now
this poor Indian woman was wise “ac-
cording to her lights. ” \\ it bout know-
ing why, she saw that the earth was a
friend'to her children, and therefore
gave them to its healing embrace. If
the motile)* be fortunate enough to live
in the country, site has the cure for
many of her children's ills quite at hand.
Encourage baby to play in the fresh
earth, preparing it properly for its en-
joyment and cure, with as careful an
eve to the comfort of the little thing as
you would if it were to take any other
sort of a bath. If it has no old dresses,
make it a suit of cheap print, tie upon
its head a light cap, that will protect its
eyes from discomfort and give it freedom
to delve in the warm, soft earth, where
the sunshine can comfort and invigorate
it. If it is a city child, and circum-
stances forbid a trip to the country for
tlw sake of the weak convalescent, have
a -ami-heap made on the warn) side of
vour yard. Instinct will teach it to dig,
and Jigging hardens the muscles and
gives strength to the hones, while from
the heart of the earth rises a subtle and
strong power of healing tlqit we can
neither explain nor understand for our-
selves, though wc have both seen and
fell its potency.
A Dog’s Funeral.
The Bardstown (Ky.) Jb.rabl i- cred-
ited with the following remarkable
story: “A curious incident of the sa-
gacity and imitative habits of dogs came
to our knowledge a day or two ago. Wc
warn our readers to be prepared for an
almost incredible story, but it can be
substantiated by affidavits from several
persons of the highest standing, mem-
bers of the family in which it occurred ,
some of whom are .ladies. Previous to
the war (iov. Charles A. W icklittc was
an extensive slave-owner, and each one
of his negroes owned one or more dogs.
In 18d!) one of these dogs, a spaniel,
manifested symptoms of hydrophobia,
and was shot by Judge IVickliffe, the
(inventor's son. Immediately after the
shooting all the clogs on the place col-
lected around tin* body of their dead
companion, and, after prolonged howl-
ing, prepared for a funeral. ‘Old Bull,’
the largest and fiercest dog, took the
body in his mouth and started for the
woods south of the Governor's resi-
dence. The other dogs formed into a
regular procession, and in single file
followed the body to the woods. I hey
selected a tree just outside of the fence,
and at the foot of it dug a grave, in
i which ‘Old Bull’ deposited the body,
! and all the dogs joined in covering with
j earth the remains. After thegrave had
| been filled all united in more howling,
which was kept up some ten or fifteen
minutes, when they dispersed.”

[from the Toledo Blade, Aug. 14.)
We rtarrowly escaped lia* a Myra
Clark Gaines case in our *?itl a short
time ago, in which property valued at
nearly $1,000,000 was Evolved, and
which had for important factors in the
case the troublesome questions of lawful
marriage and legitimacy of children,
that always prove such intricate and
costly problems to settle when a lapse
of time has made it difficult to directly
establish the status of the relations of
various parties. By singular good for-
tune, and the address and perseverance
of two young lawyers of our city, the
case of which we speak was brought to
a satisfactory termination, but had
not a peculiarly happy conjunction of
circumstances favored this result, the
consequences would have been disas-
trous, and involved long and tedious
litigation.
But to the story. Among those who
upheld our flag upon the ocean in the
second war with Great Britain, was a
certain Captain of a privateer, named
George L. Ford. What vessel he com-
manded and what services he rendered
during the struggle are not material to
this narration. They were probably not
very brilliant, as his name does not ap-
pear conspicuously in the annals of that
war. Suffice it to say that he was cap-
tured by the enemy, and suffered a
term of imprisonment at Plymouth,
England. He was released from im-
prisonment at the conclusion of the war,
and returned to his home in Baltimore,
where his wife was. It seems that lie
had a glimmering idea of the future
prosperity of this section of the country,
for lie came out here and pre-empted
land, and in 1821 he received a patent
for 155 acres, located in what is now
the Fifth Ward of this city. It is
known as llivcr Tract No. 6, and lies
between Western Avenue and South
Street.
In due time the gallant privateersman
was gat herd to his fathers, and the pro-
perty descended to his only daughter,
Emeline Ford, who, in 183*5, conveyed
it to one Randall Wilcox' fora small con-
sideration. A year later Mr. Wilcox
conveyed the land to Benjamin I. W;tde,
afterwards United Slates Senator from
Ohio. Wade and Ids grantees retain
possession of a large portion of the land
yet.
In 1873 these possessors of the land
were startled from the sense of security
bv the information that the descendants
of the brothers and sisters of Captain
Georire L. Ford had laid claim to the
tract and were altout to ask tin* court -

is still vigorous, bodily, being engaged
in chopping wood in fvont of the house
when the lawyers came up. She
proved to be the sister of Lovey Bus-
kert, was present at the time the latter
was married to Captain Ford, and after
her brother-in-law returned from Eng-
land she lived with him and her sister
for a period of nine years, until she
herself yielded to the amorous solicita-
tions of a young Marylander, and be-
came his blushing bride.
When the old lady found out that her
testimony was of importance, she felt
that her opportunity had come, and she
should make a ten-strike for a reward.
She consulted a pompous ignorant old
Squire, the oracle of the neighborhood,
and he too became inflated with the
magnitude of the occasion, and advised
her to demand a considerable sum of
money as a reward for her testimony,
and he attended her at her next
interview with the attorneys, to See that
they did not overreach her.
This complicated matters. Though
the woman’s evidence was all import-
ant to the settlement of the ease, yet it.
would never do to pay the sum she
asked. The attorney saw that the way
to their object was through the Squire,
lie was adroitly approached, flattered
as to his intimate and extensive knowl-
edge of the law, and his ability general-
ly. Then his opinion was deffereutially
requested on several points of the case,
and it was not long until the old gentle-
man was completely won over, and ad-
vised his client to comply with the law-
yer's requests and make her affidavit.
Her recollection of the events of her
early life was excellent, and her testi-
mony in regard to the paternity and
birth of Emeline Ford, was full and
complete, covering all tin* disputed
points in the case. She was present at
her sister’s marriage with ( aptain Ford,
and recollected the latter’s return from
England, and remembered that Emeline
Ford was born in Baltimore the year
following—in 1815. She. corroborated
her testimony by tin* production of an
old Bible, which contained the family
register, and gave the dates as stated.
This was eminently -ati-farbuT as far
as it went, but number little discrepan-
cy insinuated itself and threatened trou-
ble. Emeline Ford wa- born in 1*15,

The ease of the claimants was -up
ported by allegations:
1. T hat Captain Ford was never le-
gally married to the mother of Emeline
Ford, the girl from whom the present
possessors bold their title.
2. That Captain Ford was a prisoner
in England at the time of the birth ot
Emeline Ford, and tor so long a time
previous to that event as to preclude
the possibility of hi- being her father.
These were serious matters for the peo-
ple who had their money invested in the
property, and they resolved upon instant
action.' The matter seemed to present
almost insurmountable obstacles at the
outset. There were no grounds to hope
for a discovery of the proofs of tin* mar-
riage at this late day, at a lapse of more
than sixty years from the date of the
consummation of the same, but it was
resolved to make the effort, ami last
year Messrs. J. II. Doyle and I . J.
McDonnell were dispatched to Balti-
more, Mil., to begin the search.
Their first essay was a search of the
marriage licenses among the dusty old
tomes in tin* Court-house records. Be-
ginning with those of 1872, they pa-
tiently waded backward through ap-
parently interminable lists of names of
those who had been given in marriage,
until under date of July, 1812, they
were rewarded by finding the record of
a license i-siied to George L. Ford and
Lovey Buskert. This was a hopeful be-
| ginning, indeed. A memorandum op-
posite The record stated that the parties
had been directed to Rev. Joseph G.
Bend us a proper person to solemnize
marriages.
A visit to the Mercantile Library was
next made, and after delving around in ;
tin: old Directories on its shelves, it;
j was found that the Rev. Joseph G.
Bend was, in 1*12, the rector of St .
! Paul's Parish Church, at the corner of
j Saratoga and Charles streets. Repair-
! ill" thither, access was gained to the
! old registers of the parish, and success
number two was gained when an entry
was discovered to the effect that the
ceremony of marriage between George
L. Ford and Lovey Buskert was per-
formed by Rev. Joseph G. Bend, July
12, 1812. Procuring a certified copy of
this fact from tin* Parish Clerk, tin
next step was to demonstrate that the
daughter Emeline was legitimately be-
gotten.
It was necessary to find some traces
of Emeline. Another patient investiga-
tion of the list of marriage licenses re-
vealed the fact that in 183l> sin* was
married to one Landrum II. Diets.
Recourse was again had to the direc-
tories, and Mr. Deets was traced down
through a number of years, and found
to bo still living in Baltimore. A visit
to his house did not find him at home,
lmt a sister was there who knew some-
thing of the. family history, and she di-
rected the party of inquirers to where a
sister of Lovey Ford's resided, at some
distance from Baltimore, in that infe-
was
the time when Emeline Fori! had con-
veyed t he land.
Thus, u( the end of four years" of la-
borious and at time- ex. iting pursuit of
the very slender clews with which they
had started out, Mes-rs. Doyle & Mc-
Donnell found themselves in possession
of every fact which wa- important to
their ease. They returned home tri-
umphant, and immediately began a suit:
to quiet title and perpetuate testimony.
Their opponents responded to the suit,
but w Itm they saw* the array of testimo-
nv opp<tt-ed to their claims they yielded
without a struggle.
