The fact that "Fortune is a tickle goddess" was nevermore aptly illus trated than in thc career of Ex-Sena tor H. A. W. Tabor, of Colorado. A farmer, a stone mason, a small grocery keeper, a great mine owner, a multi millionaire and proprietor of great blocks of buildings in Denver, the possessor and builder of one of the finest opera houses in thc world. Lieutenant Governor of Colorado, United States Senator, and now a poor man once more, delving in the dirt for another fortune among the golden hills of Cripple Creek-this, in a paragraph, is the history of a man who has re ceived more flattery and more criticism, more favors and flaunts of fortune than fall to the lot of most men. The other day a brief telegram from Denver was published to the effect that the last piece of property owned by Ex Senator had been sold under the ham mer to satisfy a mortgage for $800,000, thus closing one of the pages in a strange, evcutful history. November 26, 1830, this man of varied fortune was born, and on the 26th of November. 1896, he found himself, at thc age of 66, as bereft of earthly possessions as upon the day of his berth, notwithstanding thc fact that less than ten years ago his for tune was rated at over $6,000,000. When Tabor was rich and prosperous he was fond of recalliug the dcys of poverty and labor through which he had passed, and the following facts arc a condensation of his history as he related it to me, seated in his private office iu thc Tabor Grand Opera House before adversity bad overtakeu him : In 1859 Tabor came to Denver, leaving a farm in Kansas and a seat in the Kansas Legislature. Ile stayed in Denver through the wiutcr, and early iu thc spring of 1860. with two friends, drove a yoke of oxen attached to a rickety old wagon out of thc city en route to California Gulch, the present site of Leadville. Rumors of the finding of gold in the gulch had reached Denver, and thus early in his career Tabor began his search for the yellow metal. The oxen were ex perienced travellers, having trudged all tho way across the plains from the Missouri River to the foot of the front raDge of the Rocky Mountains the season before, but it must be confess ed that there was a great lack of style about the turnout. It is a curious coincidence that in making this journey more than thirty six years ago Tabor must have passed directly over thc rich gold fields of Cripple Creek, ignorant of their pres ence, where to-day he is beginning life over again in search of gold. The difficulties of that journey were many; often the grade was so steep that the wagon had to be held back from a tumbling descent by fastening a big pine log behind it to serve as a brake ; often after a day's toilsome march camp was made in sight of the smoke from the fires of the previous night. Filled with experience of this kind it took just six weeks to make the journey from Denver to California Gulch, the party arriving at their des tination in April. Thc snow was from three to five feet deep, and there wasn't more than fifty men in the camp. It did not take very long, however, to change these conditions, and by the middle of July there were 10,000 men at work prospecting and washing gold. In recalling those carly days in the gulch, Mr. Tabor said : ';Tbe eyeryday life of a miner is not very interesting. He digs in the gravel, he throws into the sluice, he forks out the boulders, he 'cleans up' to see how much gold he has secured day after day, week after week, month after month. There isn't any romance in any kind of hard work. The romance is always in results. The preliminaries aro always prosaic. It is sufficient for me to say, therefore, that I worked hard, and at the end of the season found that I had cleared $5,000. That isn't much money now adays, and very often since then I have cleared ten times that amount in less than half thc time, but never have I felt so happy as over that little pile of dust dug out of the gravel of California Gulch in the summer of 1S60. The next summer I worked my claim, and in two seasons made $15, 000." After this Tabor moved to Buck skin Joe, a booming mining camp then, a wilderness now, where he opened a store of general merchandise and was made postmaster. There he stayed for several years. Then, when the Printer Boy minc was discovered at California Gulch, he moved his store over to the old camp, and was made postmaster there. Then for nearly twenty years Tabor jogged along, meeting with moderate pros perity. Thousands of times, as he says, he walked over Fryer Hill, and never thought it worth while "to stick a pick into it," when within twenty seven feet of the surface lay the crest of a silver deposit worth millions of dollars. Every season he "-rrub-staked" men to prospect for him and them selves, and every season was "out" just that much, for they never fouud anything. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with mining terms it may he said that to "grub-stake" a pros pector is to furnish him with food free of cost for a share in any mines that he may discover. But on the 15th of April. 1878. Tabor "grub staked" Rische and Hook. They began to dig on Fryer Hill, and all the old miners laughed at them. They dug away, and at the depth of twenty-seven feet struck silver ore that ran 200 ounces to the ton. They called their minc the Little Pittsburg. This was the foundation of Tabor's fortune. In less than a mouth after the discovery he paid Hook $90,060 for his share of the mine, and in three months more he paid Rische $262,000 for his third, thus becoming sole owner of the Little Pittsburg, one of the greatest mines ever discovered at Leadville, from which he received more than $1.000, 000. Tabor was now a bonanza king; he was more than that, he was a public spirited, open-handed citizen. He built a linc opera house for hoadville at a cost of over $50,000. Thou he built the Tabor bluck in Denver and had chiselled on the keystone of the arch over thc entrance thc two words, "Dies l auste.-?," for those were indeed bappy days. Thu block was- worth nearly half a million dollars. Then he erected in Denver thc Tabor (?rand Opera House, second only in beauty to thc grand opera house of Paris, and costing $900,0(10. For ten years everything went well with Tabor, lie was rated as worth $0,000.000. Ile became ambitious for political honors. He poured out money like water to accomplish his cuds. Ho was always betrayed by those who pretended to bc his friends. He was given thc Lieutenant Governorship, which ho didn't want. Then he en tered thc race fur United Stales Sena tor and wu., chosen for a tenn, made vacant by the death of thc iucumbcut. He wa? Senator for tinco or four months. Aft>;r his return from Washington he began tn invest in real estate. Tie loaded up with Chicago property and got thc worst of the bargain. Ile invested in mines in New Mexico, Arizona and old Mexico. They were failures. Ile borrowed vast sums. Ile mortgaged his Tabor block and his grand opera house. The panic of '93 finished the work begun by injudicious investments, lie fought foreclosure, but in vain. The sheriff took pos session of all the property he had. His wife gave up her diamonds, and but a few days ago the last fragment of property was taken from him. Now he ''digs in the gravel. There isn't any romance in any kind of hard work. The preliminaries arc always prosaic. Thc romance is always in results." Gen. Joe Johnston's Story. Perhaps thc most touching incident arising in connection with thc war that I now recall caine to my notice on a railway train which also bore as a passenger thc very pretty youug wife of a soldier who, by daring bravery, had secured promotion from thc ranks to a Confederate captaincy. The wife was a Pennsylvania girl, whom he had met while visiting in the north, had married and taken her to his southern home just before thc break ing out of the war. Ile was one of the first to enlist in thc Confederate army; and to devote himself more completely to thc cause he sent his wife, at the first boom of the guns at Fort Sumter, back to her parents in Pennsylvania, to remain till thc great struggle was ended. Now, in 1866, five years ofter their separation, she was on her way South to rejoin her husband and place in his amis their four-year-old daughter whom he had never seen. It was not long beforo all thc passengers on our car knew the story, and there was not a man among us who did not feel a tenderness for and a protecting inter est in both. There never was a wo man whose heart was more full of love and joy. She could do nothing but talk of thc captaiu, and wonder if he had changed so that she could not re cognize him, or if he would not be able tp-recogui?c her. Then she would fall to wondering if he would know his little daughter if he met her in the street by her resemblance to him self, which, as he had never laid eyes on her, did not seem probable. Throughout that long day's ride wc all entered heartily into that dear little woman's hopes, fears, doubtsand joys, and shared them to such an extent that we were quite as anxious to see the captain as she was. Wc reached our journey's end, and before the train had fairly stopped a tall, elegantly-proportioned fellow of 27 came bounding into our car. The little woman gave such a scream of joy as I can never forget, and in less time than I can tell it, was standing in thc car aisle clasped in the young soldier's manly arms, and tears of joy unutterable coursed down two beauti ful young faces as their lips met. For my own part, my own eyes were so full of blinding moisture that I could see nothing, when the proud and happy young wife and mother led her 'hus band for the first time to the place where their littlechild lay sleeping. Springfield Repitblican. A Cautions Widder. Dark had just settled over the Ozarks when thc writer rode up to a shanty and dismounting rapped on the door. A woman soon made her appearance and in a harsh voice asked what was wanted. "Can I get lodgings for the night, ,ma'am ?" "Who be ye?" "A traveler on his way to Jones ville." "All alone ?" "Yes/' "Ride up alcctle clusserand lemme see what sort of a lookin' critter yo' are. Might be better, and might be wuss. Ar' ye a married man ?" "Yes'm." "That settles it !

It's five miles to the next shanty, and it's a dark night and goin to rain purty soon, but a woman has got to look out fur herself out yere." "Why, ma'am, I hope you arc not afraid of me ?"

Ye kin see thc fix, stranger ?" "Yes, andi will ride on. I shouldn't want to come between you and your chance." "That's good of ye, sir.

WASITIXOTOX, January 10.-In the disturbed condition of affairs in thc Southern States which followed thc war a commission was sent out by President Johnson to investigate mut ters, (and of which Gen. J. S. Fuller ton, of the Chickamauga Park com mission, is now almost thc only survi vor,) found in every Southern hotel they visited Gen. Robert E. Lee's portraits displayed in the post of hon or in the office. Thc only partial ex ception wa:* Vicksburg, where thc portrait of Lee on the right was flank ed by that of U. S. Grant on the left. Yesterday this incident was recalled by a remarkable rencontre which oc curred in the Speaker's room at thc capitol. Col. Fred. D. Grant, of New York, son ol' the great Union general, and Lieut.-Gen. S. J). Lee, of Mississippi, one of thc Confederate leaders, met for a common purpose. Grant and Lee arc herc both advocating thc per petuation of thc battlefield on which Grant won his greatest laurels as a strategist and a fighting soldier. Grant represented thc Army of thc Tennessee and Gen. Lee represented the Confederate Veteran Association. They are the leaders of a commission having for its object the purchase of the country surrounding Vicksburg, to be held by thc Federal Government in perpetuity, so that future genera tions may sec how thc great Federal general manoeuvred to capture the Gibraltar of the Confederacy. The park commission, represented by Grant and Lee. appeared before the committee on rules, consisting of Speaker Peed and Messrs. Hender son and Dalzell, to plead that a day may bc set aside for the consideration of the'bill making an appropriation for the preliminary work of survcyirg and marking the lines of battle. As the bill carries an appropriation Speak er Recd would not make a positive an swer, ?laying that thc matter could not bc considered alone in its senti mental side. Baltic of thc Wilderness. The losses wore found to be: Killed 2, 246, wounded 12,037, missing 3,383, total 17,000 The damago indicted upon the enemy is not known, but as ho was the assaulting party as often as tho Union army there is reason to believe that tho two sides wera about equal. Taking 21 hours as, the time actually occuph f in fighting, and counting the casulties In both armies, it will be found that on that bloody field every minuto recorded the loss of 2"> men. As th? staff officers threw themselves upon tho ground that night sleep come 'o them without coaxing. They had been on the move sinco dawn, galloping over bad roads, struggling about through forest openings, jumping rivulet3, wading swamps, helping to rally troops, dodging bullets and searching for commanding officers in ell sorts of unknown places. Their horses had been crippled and they themselves were well-nigh exhausted. For the ?mall part I had been able to per form in the engagement the General re commended me for the brevet rank of. mpjor in the regular army, "for gallant and meritorious services." His recom mendation was approved by the President. This promotion was especially gratifying for tho reason that it was conferred for conduct in the first battle in which I had served under the command of the General in-Chief. There were features of the battle which have never been matched in the annals of warfare. For two days nearly 200,000 veteran troops had struggled in a death grapple, confronted at each step with al most every obstacle by which nature could bar their path, and groping their way through a tangled forest, the impen etrable gloom of which could be likened only to the shadow of death. The under growth utayed their progress, the upper growth shut out the light of heaven. Officers could rarely 6ee their troops for any considerable distance, for stmke cloudea tho vision and a heavy sky ob scured the sun. Directions were ascer tained and lines established by means of the pocket compass, and a change of posi tion often presentod an operation more like a problem of ocean navigation than a question of military maneuvers. It was the senso of sound and of touch rather than the eenso of s:;ght which guided the movemeots. It was a battle fought with the oar, and not with the eye. All circumstances seemed to combine to make the scene one of unutterable horror. At times the wind howled through the tree-tops, mingling its moans with the groans of the dying, and heavy branches were cut off by the fire of the artillery, and fell crashing upon the heads of tho men, adding a new terror to battle. ForeBt fires raged ; ammunition trains exploded ; the dead were roasted in the conflagration ; the wounded, roused by its hot breath, dragged themselves along with their torn and mangled limbs, in the mad energy of despair, to escape tho rav ages of the flames; and every bush seemed hung with shreds of blood-stained cloth ing. It was as though Christian men had turned to fiends, and hell itself had usurped the place of earth.- (Jmerni Horace Porter in Century. - According to the Kew York Journal, the up to date young woman is now wear ing a dagger. Not for the purpose of stabbing her lover, however, out merely to add to the picturesqueness of her ap parel. The dagger is large as ornamouts go, and her favorite way to wear it is thrust through the drapery of her gown at the corsage. When worn with evening gowns, the hilt of the daggar should gleam with precious stones. With these costly daggers the blade ?B generally of gold, and tho hilt studded with diamonds and sapphires or diamonds and emeralds. Daggers for evening wear are also most effective with the hilt entirely covered with fire opals. - They had a livelv time of it in the town of Dycuaburg, Ky., last Wednes day. On the Saturday night previous fifty masked men called at the country home of Rev. William Fox, a Baptist minister, and ordered him to come out. He was charged with paying too much attention to married women. Instead of coming out of the door, he jumped out of a window and fled to a dense forest. The mob fired upon him Beveral times; but he escaped unhurt. When Fox's parish ioners heard of the affair, they threatened to burn the town, and the town author ities at oncoputon a large force of guards. The matter is not yet settled. - General Rawlings onco dined with a man who partook of wino rather freely. Finally the latter said, speaking of some body, "Oh, that mine enemy would write a book !"
