Wilton Farmers’ Club.
The 172d meeting of the Wilton
Farmers’ club was held at the residence
of Harvey Bed'lcnl. Quesuonl ‘VFarn;
Conveniences." The secretary distribut'r}
some garden seed sent to the club by .
S. Gold. The president, D. H. Van
Hooscar, opened the subject as follows:
AsI understand it, it is not all conveni-
ence that strictly pays in dollars and
cents, and I think we should. not be top
much confined to theiden “Will it pay
before we precurc many of these things
that willbe most convenient. Who can see
where we can get out of a carriage we
buy for, say $150 to $200, what we pay
forit. I-sus‘pect that my followers may
differ with me on this point and-”say we
should first see that it is likely to pay; but
I find that most of our members have
good carriages. Last week we were told
of the desirability of plenty of “house-
hold conveniences,” and I cannot see why
we should have less on the farm. If we
do this, the question is asked, “What
shall we do with our old tools, etc? I
board a man say in answer to this ques-
tion, run your cart over them. At the
time I couldn‘t see what he meant; but,
if we do this, that will end their use, and
we'll have to buy the improved unple-
incnts. We have come to a different era.
The machines that are put on the market
are well tried before they are put there,
and most of them are put in" the farmers’
hands for trial before they are sold. lie
need not be humbugged as much as in
years ago. 1 must say many of these new
implements will work better in our hands
than in our minds.
John Jackson—When I was a boy We
used to go early in the morning with a
scythe. What do we use now'? Vi e can
accomplish more now in an hour, than by
the old way, and how much euclcr. I
shall have to disagree with the president
somewhat. I say the word “pay” sounds
well in my cars, These long geared plows
are well enough in their place, but every
farmer should have a short beam, short
handle plow, woodcn beam. so that if the
lazy hired man lets it down it will not
break. First, to make it convenient, get
your farm rich, but keep the dollar in
sight. Don’t invest in commercial fertil-
izers. The poultry, as the secretary has
read, is a very great convenience. Many
times the housewife is at her wits‘ ends
to know what to have for dinner. But a
few eggs or a fowl supplicsihis want very
kindly.
Bedient—The first I shall look at and
wish ‘for would be water. This, well
supplied, is worth 81,000. Our cattle
want this as good and sweet as we do our-
selves, and if we could turn part of the
supply into a fish pond, it would-be very
handy to visit for a change. bringing in a
mess of fresh fish. Sheep are a blessing on
a form. I have noticed a farmer who
keeps sheep generally gets along well,
and the convenience of barb wire to keep
them in their pasture is appreciated by _
farmers. I would build my barn as near
to the house as was most convenient. I
wouldn’t go half a mile away to milk or
care for my cattle. I must speak of our
carts. They are generally very, much too
heavy and should be lighter for farm use.
These gunners are no farm convenience.
Small fruits—blackberries, strawberries,
etc., are a very fine farm convenience. .1
can agree with the president. We don’t
want to look, 100' much for the dollar.
Build tool houses enough so that those
things shall bet he brought into the house
to vex the” wife. .
.J.Dudley—Most of my talklis theoreti-
cal as I have but very few conveniences
old low barns, and, indeed. very incon—
venient. My idea of a model barn would
be, first, a good cellar under it, for roots,
etc. I would have water in the barn, and
protected against freezing, making it warm
so I could care for my cattle under cover,
and arranged so as to be most convenient.
I would build it seventy or eighty feet
long by forty wide, two-thirds of the
cellar above ground. Floorway, sixteen
feet, twelve or fourteen feet posts; Large
double doors opening inside, hung on
hinges; French roof, rack in the top for
horse fork. I think a man would live
longer if he had these conveniences.
George B. Gilbert—I would like all
these conveniences you speak of, but
would like somebody else to furnish the
money to pay for them. I can’t afford to
have the modern agricultural implements
to work my farm with. Go away with
your machinery to work a farm with!
This cultivator for raising corn with! I’ll
wager the corn on an acre that I’ll use the
plow against the cultivator. You can’t
raise corn without work. This riding
around the field don’t seem to be the way
to farm it. What is this theory against
practice ? The club, it seems, talks more
than they practice. I mean to do what I
say. This machinery is generally used
on the best front land, letting the back
land run to waste to briars and bushes.
Here Mr. G. said he didn’t want anything
noted down. which closed his talk.
A. Jackson—I don’t agree with Mr. G. .
about com. I can plow over once and
cultivate thoroughly during the summer
and secure a, better crop than by plowing.
I tried it last year and was well satisfied
with my results. .I favor fiat culture.
J. Jackson—I wouldn't build a barn
such as Dudley suggests; wouldn’t put
all my stock in one place. They should
not be kept inside the barn at all, but in
sheds adjoining, where they could be
taken out easy in case of afire in the barn;
thirty by thirty feet with twenty feet
posts, no large girts.
The secretary talked in favor of high
barns and was surprised to hear that
Dudley’s idea of a model barn should be
so low—twenty feet posts. He advocated
the cultivator, improved plows, easy
springs for lumber wagons, which he
thought would transport at least one-fifth
more weight with the same strength and
less wear to the wagon, not because he
was agent for all these, but he knew them
to work well and save a vast amount of
labor. A part of man's time should be to-
studyhow he could make many things
more convenient.
Adjourned.
A Heroine of the War.
From the Inter-Ocean: I saw by lhe
Philadelphia papers the other day that the
Grand Army posts had given a reception
"f Mrs. R. M. Bonsai, and happening to
walk down street with Gen. Sheriden, I
asked him if he knew her. ‘Do I know
her P” he replied, with a surprised luck on
his face: “I should say I did. That
woman was worth a whole brigade of
<oldicrs and SCVC":ll batteries of artillery
down in the Winchester campaign, and
she was one of the genuine heroines of
the war."
"Tell me about her."
“Well, you see, I always believe in
fighting on information. Peoplesaid I was
reckless and daringmnd all lillit, and when
I happened to win a figlli'tlley said it was
Sheridcu’s luck. But I tell ‘you there
wasn’tllny luck about it. I never went
it blind. I always knew what 1 was
going to hit befol'cI made a strike, and
generally tried to strike at the right time.
“And down there in ’04,” continued the
General,"‘wbcn I lay before Winchester,
I wanted information of what was going
on in the enemy’s lines, and I wanted it
awful bad. I must have it, don’t you see;
but how I was going to get it [didn‘t
know. Crook was pretty well acquainted
in all that country, and one day I asked
him if he knew some one in Winchester
we could depend on. He said there was
alittlc Quaker girl in the town that he
thought was all right, and I concluded to
try her.
“There was an old darkcy who had a
garden patch about fifteen miles from my
headquarters, and he had a pass to go
into Winchester three or four times a
week with vegetables for the Confederate
oficers and town people. I had him
brought into my headquarters one night
and asked him if he knew thesehool
ma’am. He said he did, and then I asked
him if he could get a note to her without
giving llCl.‘ away; He said llc.conl.1; and
then Iswrole her a letter on tissue paper,
appealing [0 her loyalty, and requesting
her to give some information of what was
going on in the rebel camp.
“I wrapped the’ note up in tin foil in a
little wad, don’t you know, and made the
darkcy carry it in his mouth. The next
day he went to town within load of vege-
tables aud gave it to her."
“What was her name ?"
“Rebecca Wright was her name then,
but she is married now, and her husband’s
name is Bonsal."
“Did you get an answer?”
“Yes, the darkey brought me backs
rt ply, in which she gave me some very
impeltant information, and provided to
send me more from time to time. We
kept up a correspondence after that, and
I knew everything old Early was doing.
After a few weeks she sent the word that
Kershaw’s division of 8,000 or 10,000 men
had been detached and Was going to join
Lee’s army. As soon as I learned that he
was gone and was far enough off to pre-
vent his getting back. I made an attack
and captured Winchester."
“Did you find the girl when you got
into town i'"
“Indcchdid, and my report of that
battle was written in her school room.”
"Was she ever rewarded P” ,
"Well, Igot her a place in the Treasury
Department, and it was there she got
acquainted with her husband ; but, damn
it, I think she is entitled to a pension!”
The Woman With a Pistol.
What a pistol in the hands of a deter-
mined woman may do was well illustrated
in the Almy tragedy in New York recent-
ly. Of rcccnt years more 'women are
learning to shoot than is popularly
supposed. It is encouraging to know that
the percentage of those who shoot them»
selves is not larger than was to be expect-
ed. Supposc women generally knew how
to shoot. Ladies in the country and in
lonely farmhouses could keep their little
revolvers lying handy to protect them-
selvcs from tramps and other unwelcome
visitors. The impudcnt tramp who
should suddenly see the barrel of a shiny
shortly find business elsewhere. He
would conclude that even an Lcmpty
stomach was preferable to a perforated
one. A little while agoafat, lazy, grimy
trump did thus enter the kitchen of one
of these ladies who knew how to shoot.
He asked for pie. Nothing less than pie
would do. The lady‘mildly remarked
that she had none. She was alone in her
case, and the rascal advanced threatening-
ly. Madame snatched a pistol from a
- sideboard and turned it on him witha
gentle smile. The tramp backed out,
muttering words not to be printed. and
like Satan he went his way and was seen
.no more. There was another woman too
—a pretty-young lady who handled a
pistol. Agentle dude came lo call on
her. He wore an utterly fashionable and
fine now bat, andhe bct her this new hat
that he would put it up for a mark and
she could not hit it. The lady banged
away until the dudc’s hat was a sight to
behold. He made no more wagers with
the young lady. If it was known for
a fact that women would shoot, what
man would dare ,to trifle with their af-
fections? It would be a warning-off to
mashers and a caution to husbands who
stayed Olit nights. '
Henry Walla-son.
Baltimore Herald.“ When the war
ended Henry Wattcrson assumed the
editorship of the Nashville Banner, aftcr
which he wont to Louisville to edit the
Journal, which, consolidated with the
Courier, he has made known as the
Courichournal all over the country. It
is wonderful what an amount of work
he dbcs, considering his eyesight is so
poor. During the first three months in
which he took charge of the Louisville
Journal he says he did not average four
hours sleep in the twenty-four, and until
late years, if not now, it has been his
custom to overlook the forms of the paper
in early morning before it goes to press.
His eyesight is such that all of his read-
ing of papers has to be done for him, and
when he writes at night he always uses
an amanuensis. As to writing, there is
nothing on the paper that he cannot do
well. He started into journalism as a
musical and dramatic critic, and his ex-
cellence as a paragraphcr and cditcrial
writer is known everywhere. Socially,
Henry Watterson is a pleasant fellow.
He likes good champagne and, like all
Kentuckians, is not an adverse to Ken
tucky bourbon and draw poker. In an
interview once he said: “There is only
one worse poker player than myself in
the world, and he has lately joined, the
church.” He is married and has a family,
and he would be rich if he cared anything
for money. But he does not. He spends
as fast as he makes. He uses his means
generously and to the personal comfort of
himself and friends.

A Hard Slap at a Humornl.
“I notice in the papers,’ remarked the
editor-in-chief to the funny man, “an
assertion to the effect that the wives of
American humorists arc'invalids."
"ch," replied the funny man ; “I have
seen it, blit it is not a fact. My wife is
in good health.”
“SoIshould suppose," responded the
cditor.’ "If the wives of all American
humorists areinvaiids, your wife ought
to be enjoying exceedingly good health.—

How Magnaies Smoke.
Chicago Inter-Ocean : Gcncra‘ Gram,
for example, who is the grclllcst minkcr
of the age. uses his cigar as if he enjoyed
if._ He cuts off the tip with his pockcl-
knife, and, once lighted, the cigar never
leaves his lips until the the gets so close
to his muslaclle as to singc ii, and then
he sticks it on it wooden toothpick and
hangs on ilnlil the last whiff can be
drawn. He is a connoisseur in tobacco,
and always smokes a medium strength
cigar, which be imports himself from
Havana. fIc smokes slowly and delib-
erately, with lhe greatest enjoyment, and
believes that to knock off the ashes
spoils the flavor of a cigar. He does not
use a great many a day, although he is
constantly smoking. A box of fifty will
last him a week or ten days. General
Sherman’s habits are the very reverse.
He smokes quite as constantly as General
Grant, but uses five cigars to Grant’s one,
and he isn't particular about the quality.
He knowsa good cigar when he tastes
it, but is indifferent whether he has a
Whr-cling sloga or a Reina Victoria in
his moulh. He smokes us if it was a
disagreeable duty ti: be performed as
rapidly as possible, cbcwa the end that is
in his mouth, and bites it of! in chunks,
so that his cigar is consumed at one end
as fast as it is at the other. .
Grant always talks with a cigar in his
mouth; Sherman never does. He lays it
down somewhere when he stat is to make
a remark, forgets where he put it and
lights afresh one when he has finished
what he wanted to say. The result is
that his desk or the furniture around the
room in which’he happens to be smoking
is usually loadcd wilh several half-con-
sumcd stubs. At his headquarters when
he was in Washington it was generally
the case that these clubs were to be found
in cvcry room that he frequented and the
slafi ofiiccis ealltd lhcm "Sherman’s old
soldiers."
The general is an abscnl-mindrd indi
vidual, and his carelessness of the foxms
of etiquette is the lcsult of preoccupation
rather than indifference to propriety. He
has frequently been known to borrow a
cigar to get a lighl, and flit-n lhl-ow the
other man's cigar away without regard to
consequences. He enjoys a quiet smoke
but can 't do anything else while he has a
. cigar in his month without losing his fire.
He breathes through his nose, and unless
he pays strict attention lo the business of
smoking his cigar goes\out every other
minute. The result is that the carpet
around his desk and the cuspador beside
him is usually strewn with half-burned '
matches, for be generally needs a full
box of them for every cigar he smokes.
I called his attention to lhc'fact the other
day, and be said: “Yes, that’s the only
extravagance I am guilty of. Somehow
I never could keep my cigar lighted,
and if I had a dollar for every match I
have wasted I would by as rich as Van-
derbilt."
It is interesting to see Grant and Sheri-
dan smoke together, the one as if he came
by it naturally, and the other as if he
enjoyed it, but didn’t know how to do it
. very well. Grant never rclights a cigar,
but if he had Shelidan’s habit he would
use up a box of fifty in an hour. General
Butler always takes what is called a "cold
smoke.” He never lights a cigar, bu
always carries one with the wrong end in
his mouth thrust way down his throdl '
until only an inch or so is visible. He
doesn’t chew il, but rolls his tongue
around the tobacco as if he enjoyed the
taste. When he dictates letters or speech-
es or briefs to his rtenographer he keeps
his cigar in his mouth, tips his chair back,
puts his feet on the table.and shuts his eyes.
When he finishes the dictation,” he wants
the notes written out at once, he goes to
sleep until the stenographer has finished
writing, when he wakes up, signs his
name, and goes about other buainess. He
has the happy facility that is also attribu-
ted to De Lesseps, the famous French cn-
ginecr, of going to sleep whenever he
desires to, regardless of time, place or
circumstances. Sleep with him is as
much a matter of will power as writing
or walking or talking, and it is ,said that
he can wake himself up whenever he
wants to. He looks albis watch, finds
that he has fifteen minutes unoccupied,
shuts his cycs,‘zakcs-a snooze and wakes
up at the end of the time as promptly as
if he had an alarm clock beside him.
Logan smokes by spells. For weeks he
will not light a cigar, and then he will
smoke constantly.’ During the period of
abstinence he usually carries a cigar in
his pocket and gnaws off a chunk to chew
when he feels like smoking. He likes a
pipe better than a cigar, and owns several
handsome meerschaums, but Mrs Logan
doesn’t like that sort of thing, and the
general never uses them when she is about.
J udge David Davis is an habitual smok-
er, but always uses a. five-cent cigar.
Whether it is a vitiated taste or a measure
of economy is not known, but it is a fact,
I asked a cigar man at the Capitol to-day
what sort of tobacco tho statesmen used.
He said the southern men usually bought
cheap cigars, as did the country members
from the northern states, but the city
members used expensive ones.

What Fashion Goats.
From the “Farmers' Daughter:” Fashion
kills more women than toil and sorrow.
Obedience to fashion is a greater trans-
gression of the laws of woman’s nature. a
greater injury to her physical and mental
constitution than poverty and neglect.
The slave woman at her tasks will live and
grow old and see two or three generations
of her mistresses fade and pass away ; the
washerwoman, with scores a ray of hops .
to cheer her in her toil, will live to see
fashionable sisters die all around her; the
kitchen maid is hearty and strong when
her lady has to be nursed like a sick baby.
It is a sad truth that fashion-pampered
women are almost worthless for all the
ends of human life; they have but little
force of character; they have still less
power of mentalvwill and quite as little
physical energy; they live for no great
purpose in life; they accomplish no wor-
thy ends. They are only doll forms in
he hands of millincrs and servants, to be
dressed to order and fed to order. If
they rear children, servants and nurses do
all except give them birth, and when
reared what are they ? What do they
ever amount to but weak scions of the
old stock ? Who ever heard of the fash—
ionable woman’s child ever exhibiting any
virtue or pom-r of mind for which it
became eminent? Read the biographies
of our great and good men and women.
Not one of them had a fashionable mother.
They nearly all sprang frOm a strong-
minded woman. who had about as little to
do with fashion as with changing clouds.

A New Story of itty Amines.
A new story is told of Artemus' Ward,
when traveling on a slow-going southern
road soon after the war. When the con-
ductor was punching his ticket Artemus
remarked: ' “Does this railroad company.
allow passengers to give it advice, if they
do solo a respectful manner ?” The con-
ductor replied” in gruff tones that be
guessed so. "Well," Artcmus went on,
"it occurred to me it would be well to
detach the cow-catcher from the front of
the engine and hitch it to the rear of the
train. For you see we are not liable. to
overtake a cow, but what's to prevent a
cow strolling into this car and bitiugs
Cost of Living Abroad.
Philadelphia .I’rcss: “There is no wily
in which you can get more for rixnwx'fl
or less for a guinea than in London."
This is what Richard Rush, l m: Aim I'umii
diplomatic representative or Emflfl' d.
said away back in the twenties. 'l‘h-su-
words are as true tu-day us they um:
when the shrewd, observant American
gave utterance lo them. Bread lo-day is
cheaper inLondon than in New York,
Paris. Vienna, Berlin or Brussels. You
can get a suit of clothes made to measure
from real Scotch tweed for $15, fashion-
ably cut and well finished. Hundreds of
tailors will be glad to take your measure,
and furnish a well-fitting suit of common,
but still a fair material, for $10. I can
buy ready-made shoes for $2.50 every bit
as good as I can purchase in New York
for $5,whilc for that sum 1 can get as
good a pair of hand sewn “understand-
ings” as I wish to wear. A good silk list
may be bought for $3,aud a Derby of the
latest fashion for a trifle over $2. Shirts
and underwear are less than twothirds
the price asked for them in New York,
and the gloves I wear cost me 75 cents a
pair. and 1 have never yet found them to
split or tear. Ladies’ attire is proportion-
ately cheap. Houses or rooms may be
had within two-and one-half miles of the
heart of thccity, with gardens four times
as large as the area the residence stands
on, for a rental of $150 to $200 per
annum; a return fare by rail to the city
costing. from six to eight cents daily.
Vegelablea are about half the price they
are in the States. Butter is five cents a
pound cheaper, and meat only is a dear
commodity. Not nearly so much dearer
though as is generally supposed. Yester-
day I bought a leg of excellent mutton for
twenty cents per pound, and for plimc,
joints of first the butchers arc’asking
twenty-four cents per pound. Then,
again, fish is Iridiculously cheap. I read
in an Exetcr paper that herring were sold
in that town one day last week at the rate
of twenty-four for three cents" and that
sprats were rutailed at two cents per
quart.
But Mr. Bush was right about the pur-
chasing power Of the guinea as he was in
his estimates of the liberal (quivalent
obtainable fonthc nimble Sixpence. In
the west end of London the most extor-
tionate prices are asked by the tradesmen.
Fifteen dollars for a pair Of trousers and
$35 for a coat and vest arc by.no means
exceptional pliccs,.und there are plenty
of knights of lhe shears who would charge
$60 fOrasuitcf evening dress that one
could readily match at a city tailor’s for
$25. I know several "snipe" first are'
glad to array customers in all the glory
of “claw-hummer” coat, low cut vest and
pants cu suit for 315. London boarding
houses ale an abomination and a snare.
One can get infinitely better accommoda-
tion and food in Philadelphia, Baltimore
or Boston for $5 per week than can be
procured in London for double the money.
Railway traveling, too, is much more ex-
pensive in England than in America.
Even the third class is, I think, quite as
expensive as the uniform fare charged in
the States, and to make a journey of a
few hundred miles in a first-class carriage
will cost at least fifty per cent. more than
in covering alike distance of ground in
'thc States, journeying in luxurious ease
in a Pullman car.
.
What is Being Worn.
“ There is a strong infusion of common
sense in the new fashions for men," said
a well known tailor yesterday. “There
is no longer that absurd tendency to run
to extremes in every direction which for
the last year or two has marked lhem.’_'
A few enquiries; among other tailors
elicitcd similar responses. As to cut,
lhcy said, that trousers will be a little
but with more material in them than
formerly. Waistcoats are hardly changed
in cut. As to costs the frockmoat will
have ils skirts a trifle longer, ,while the
“cutaway” of either four or five buttons
will have noloulsideipockets save that on
the breast, and will be a little longer.
The sack coat will be 'liltle altered, but
in this as in all coats the buttons will be
plncéd closer than licrctofOre.gfIt is in
evening dress that the most radical change
has been madc. The shiny broadcloth of
of to-day. Dress suits are now out to fit
the figurcglikczna glove, and the material
is some one of the many varieties of black
diagonal or dull surfaced thin cloth. The
waistcoat is white, cut extremely low,
and the opening is rounded instead of V
shaped. Spring‘overcoats are made of
the many differenthhades of English cork-
screws or French cassimercs. The best
tailors no longer produce the short gar-
ment which allowed Lthe tails of the
undercoat to behen. The materials used
for morning suits are either self-color or
checks and stripes of quiet and unobtru-
' sive appearance.
The old~fashioned plaited shirt front for
evening dress is taking the place of, to
some extent, the plain stiff front. The
reign of the single stud is nearly over,
and three small studs are now worn by
many, though some persons maybe :eacn
with four. The scarf ‘worn ,with the
frock coat Or four-buttoned cutaway is
the plain folded scarf of dark color,
patternless and with a small pin. The
sailor’s knot is also worn, but it is
considered “bad form” to insert a pin of
any kind in it. Collars are still high
though the American makers do not run
to the extremes of their English rivals.
A high collar, meeting in front with the
corners turned down is the latest fashion.
The white evening tie is rather narrow
and tied in astrictly horizontal and formal
bow.
wear are appearing in the shirtmaker’s
windows. For some inexplicable reason
to the colored body. Gloves are gradual-
ly creeping into general use in the even-
ing, after their long banishment. The
heads of cases and umbrellasare no longer
an extravagant in design'as before, and
the most fashibnable head is either a plain
gold cap or a natural stick with the small
excrescenccs of the wood tipped with the
precious metal. '_'hc spring style in silk
hats has been seen for some weeks. The
general shape is a dec'dcd alteration from
that of twelve months ago. The brim is
lighter and with scarcely any curl. The

Panama’s Ditch of Death. '
Five thousand laborers have died in
three months on the Panama canal. This
is the report of Captain Wiltbank, who
returned to Philadelphia the other day
from the canal, where he had been super-
vising the work of a dredge a year past.
"Money is plenty," he says. “There is
only one thing more common than cash,
and that is death. Men die like leaves in
autumn. Only the Italians appear to
live. The dead are disposed of without
ceremony—no shallow grave, no prayers
—and all is in a moment forgotten. There
are now 15,000 laborers at work on the
canal, mostly negroes from Jamaica and
the French West Indies. These negroes
are brought over in droves as fast as those
at woflr die, and I venture to say that not
two-thirds of the 15,000 laborers now at
work will be alive a year from now. Five
thousand died during the past three
months. but the large pay tempts them to
passenger ?”

When Mont resumed his journey next
day the air was raw and chilly; a. Slate-
colored cloud closed om- the foot hills.
and a mild but exasperating drizzle Per'
vaded the plain as he left it and. began
to ascend the ufldulations which here
seem like a ground swell, and, higher
up, break into the tumultuous waves of
the Sierra.
M011“ 9113th on impatiently, riding
when the trail was easy, and leading his
loaded steed where the way was steep
and rough. Both horse and man werein
haste to get home. Mont grew feverish
and apprehensiva as he saw the snow
beginning to fall heavily, while he was
only yet on his second day from Nye's
ranch; and when he camped that night
in the manzanita bushes it was with 31' out
difficulty that he could kindle a, fire. But
'he found a partly screened spot, where
the snow sifted lightly in, and he could
camp in comparatiVe comfort. Jim was
relieved of his load and tied in a clump
of trees, which Sheltered him, and Mont
slept as best he could, and this was not
sleeping well. His feet were sore with the
chafing of a. rough pair of new boots, put
on when he left the trading post, and now
soaked with melting snow.‘
Next day, after Jim had browsed
among the bushes and Mont had swal-
lowed a little hot coffee, they struggled
on together, though the horse was now
obliged to wade in a. deep mass of snow,
and Mont desperately kept, up by his
side.
Passing laboriously through the round
valley where he had made the first
night’s camp, Mont entered the rocky
jaws of Scotchman’s valley. The day
was well advanced, but the sky was
dark with storm: Overhead the air- was
thick as with a. drifting whirl of snow.
The black green trees by the trail were
half hidden and loaded with snow. All
trace of the route had vanished from the
ground, and only a few landmarks, which
Mont’s practiced eye had noted as he
rode down the trail, served to show the
way in which he should go. There was
the high, steep southern wall of the can-
yon, andthere were the cabins on the
bench belowthe upper edge. Poor Mont
noted in the, blinding storm the blue
cmoke curling from the chimneys of the
cabins, and he longed to be by the cheer-
ful fireside which he pictured to him-
self was within. Like showers of
feathers, moist and large, the flakes fell,
and continually. Mont’s feet were wet,
sore and lame. Once and again he
paused in his struggles and eyed the
dismal sight around him, half wondering
if he should ever get through. The
hapless horse panted beneath his burden,
groaning as his master dragged him on
through the drifts. Once Mont with
numb fingers, unbound the thongs that
tied part of the load, then, passionately
crying aloud, “No ! no ! I can't lone
these provisions !” he made them fast
again and labored onward.
He was now well up the canyon. J list
Opposite him were the cabins, and as he
looked up at them the air began to clear.
The snow fell only in scattering flakes
' and the clouds showed signs of breaking
away. Before him, however, the way
looked even more hopeless than when it
had been concealed by the falling storm,
Behind a few ragged, fading tracks
gled on in the drift.
Suddenly, a low and far off moan broke
on the utter stillness of the air. Mont,
scared and half delirious with excitement
and fatigue, looked up toward the
southern wall of the defile. The moun-
tain top seemed to be unloosed and fall-
ing over into the valley. The whole side
of the ridge appeared broken off, and as
it glided swiftly down, Mont noted, with
fascinated minuteness of observation,
that a broad brown furrow showed be-
hind it where the earth was laid bare.
Down rushed the mighty avalanche.
The whole defile seemed to shut up like
the covers of a. book. In a twinkling the
as with a. wet sponge. The pallid mass
swept on with a roar, its huge arms flying
up toward the skies. It was nbt so much
a wall of snow as a. resistleas torrent,broad
and deep. The young man stood still,
and his heart ceased to beat; yet he
stood and gazed, unable to flee,as the
avalanche thundered down from bench
to bench, struck the bottom of the can-
yon,a.nd spread out ina confused mass
of whiteness. In an instant, horse and
man vanished in a waste of snow. The
narrow valley was filled, and. only here
and there, where an uprooted tree or a
fragment of a. wrecked cabin showed
above the surface, was there anything to
break the utter desolation.—St.‘Nicho-
las.

In the year 1800 Latour d’Anvei-gne a

battle. He had joined the French army
in place of his son, and constantly re~

his conduct that he was named “the first
