I'VWKR THE ICE.
The Alpine Hunter** Hlraenlona Es
cape.
Translated /ram the German.1
There was no braver guide, or a more skillful
banter that ever set foot upon the Matterhorn,
or crawled, oyer the glaciers of Monte Eosa,
than Ulric Peterson. He was a man of immense
strength and great daring, and had often tracked
the wilderness of snow, when those who followed
^ the same calling willingly remained in their cot
tages in the well-protected villages. He laughed
at bis companions when they talked of danger,
and made right of the fears of his good wife,
when she trembled at the howlings of the fierce
winds, or of the avalancho of snow that now and
then swept down with irresistible force upon
the little chalets. With well-spiked shoes, a
stoat alpenstock, confidence in himself, and a
firm and fervent trust in God, he avowed that
a man was as safe upon the topmost cliffs of
the cloud-pierced Matterhorn, as in the brook-
A, threaded valley of Tonxmanches. But the timid
heart of woxnfllnhood could not look upon the
mater in the same light, although her trust in
Ihc good Lord was equally strong; and so, when
she saw him take down his trusty rifle, powder-
horn, and heavily-shod iron staff, one morning,
the chug to him, and begged that ho would not
go upon the mountains. “There is every sign
of a storm,” ahe said. “Ton know how terrible
they ere. We have food enough in the cottage.
Do stay at home with the little ones.”
•• That would I, wife,” was the reply, “if I
had not seen an ibex as I was coming home yes
terday evening. He was a stout old fellow, with
hnge horns, and I fancied he was almost laugh
ing at mo aa 1 crept around the cliff upon winch
he was standing.”
“ But, Ulric, think of tbe storm that is cer
tainly coming.'
“ I have been in many an one and care noth
ing for them. I love the free whistling of the
wind upon the mountain tops, and the whirling
of the feathery snow. So, good wife, get me
something to eat I must be off before the day
■lawns.”
With a heavy sigh, the woman did aa he had
requested; and with his fond kiss still lingering
upon her lips, she saw him climb the mountain
side until a torn in the path hid him from her
view. Then she sank upon her knees, by tho
liedside of her still slumbering children, and
committed him into the keeping of that God
who had thus far preserved him in the midst of
every danger. Mean timo Ulric hastened on
ward with a light foot. It was still dark in the
valley; tint far above him, ho could aee the
white peak glittering in the dim light of the
morning, and the fast paling stars. Higher and
higher he climbed, and soon the sun arose, shod-
■ling its rays of rosy gold upon the icy piles and
making them flash as if lmilded of myriad dia
monds. To a stranger it would have been a
dazzling sight; to tho bravo hunter it had lost
something of its charm by familiarity, and be
pressed onward and upward. The rood grew
more rongh and difficult. He was obliged to
pick his war, to clamber up steep crags; but at
last he reached the edge of a largo glazier. He
sat down and rested for a little time, satisfied
his hunger, examined his shoes and tho point of
bis alpenstock, and again set bravely forth,
leaping tho yawning chasms, and guarding
against the treacherous cracks.
A wall of polished Ice arose before him, and
he knew that ho wonld have to scale it before be
could get within shot of the coveted game.
With great difficulty it was accomplished; and
■ finding the tracks of the ibex, he followed them
|» until suddenly turning a ragged point ho found
himself within easy shot, and in an instant the
report of his rifle had awakened the echoes of
the moan tains. With tho “thud” of tho bullet
the lieast sprang forward, but its tail was drop
ped, its hoad hanging heavily down, its gait
slow and step uncertain, lie knew that the
whining lead hod reached its mark; that the
animal would soon die, and he paused to reload
his rifle before he followed him. “I will sur
prise my good wife,” bethought, “by returning
sooner than she expected, and I will have a
hearty langh at the cowards who dared not Ven
ture from their snug cottages for fear of a
storm.”
With a smile upon his lips, he hastened to
where tho ibex was lying, and raised it in his
arms. Then, with a cry of horror, he felt his
footing give way; and hunter and game were
swallowed up in a ere vase of almost unfathom
able depth. Tho thin covering of ice had been
suflleintly strong to bear the weighted tho beeet;
but that of Ulric added had shivered it as if it
had been an egg-shell.
Down, down. Hunter and ibex, through the
debris of snow and ice, lying there for a thou
sand yean. Ho fancied that botton wonld never
be reached. The most profound darkness en
veloped him; his bands could clutch nothing
but dampness—but chilling flakes. Fortunately
tbe carcass of tho Iwast was beneath him. Yet,
for all that safeguard, he lay for a long timo in
sensible. When consciousness returned, anoth
er day had dawned, and its golden glories bad
found their way even to tho bottom of the
yawning gravo in which he was lying. Ho
thought upon tho utter helplessness of his situa
tion; that he must perish from cold and hunger;
of tho lingering tortures ha wonld be forced to
endure, before death came to put an end to his
misery; and overy nerve in his body quivered
with horror. He looked around to see if there
were not same possible chance of escape. On
either side smooth ioe walls arose emitting a
bluish steel glitter. He felt that ho was buried
alive! “O, God! Why was I not instantly
killed I” ho exclaimed, in the agony of despair,
and then ns better thoughts swayed him, he
thanked the Almighty, with whom nothing is
impossible, for his safety thus far, and prayed
to Him for guidance and deliverance.
His next thought was of his gun. When it
was found that he did not return, his neighbors
would certainly search for him, and by firing
the gun ho could attract their attention. Vain
hope! Search as he wonld, he could find noth
ing of it Even if he had discovered it, it wonld
have been useless, for his powder-born was gone
as well. Over and over be turned the snow—
down deep be dug into it, until his hands burned
like fire, and great drops perspiration rolled
from his forehead, until his arms grew stiff and
sore, and he was forcod to give up the useless
labor from sheer exhaustion. With his back
against the frozen prison walls, he looked aloft,
and saw the great vulture, sailing upon its i m
tnense and tireless wings, around the mouth of
the chasm;_ and the strong man shuddered, as
he shook liis fist defiantly, and murmured, with
his hoarse voice, “Tour timo hasnot come yet!"
Ho thought also of his. happy home, and of his
dear wife and children, and then, naturally, for
he was faint and hungry, he thought of the food
his wife had prepared for him. Having eaten
of the bread and goats' milk cheese, and drank
of the little 1 Kittle of wine (which, strange to
aay, had remained unbroken,) he reasoned that
it ’ would be cowardly to thus lie down and
die, without an effort: and he remembered
the goodness of God, and once more fer
vently implored His help. Then a bold idea
came*to him. Why might he not cut his way
through the solid ice! He had a hatchet such
as his class never travel without. Ah! but he
was forgetful that the walls might be hundreds
of feet thick—that they were of excessive hard
ness and would soon render blunt both hatchet
and knife. The bright hope that had been bom
within him was darkened by no such shadow.
For the time being he knew that he was safe.
He was accustomed to tho cold, was warmly clad,
could 086 tlie skin of the ibex, in case of need,
and its flesh would drive away the wolves of
starvation for many a day. A brief rest and he
began the task, and toiled faithfully until dark
ness forced him to stop. A night of uneasy rest,
a bresakfast of the raw flesh of the ibex, and he
resumed his labors. Another day of toil, and he
again stretched himself upon the akin cf the
beast, wrapping it around him as much as was
possible, and slept long and heavily, although
there had been a sodden fall in the temperature,
and it was now excessively cold.
For four days he toiled thus, his only food
the raw and frozen flesh of the ibex; for lata
nights he slept within the hole he had cut away
in the thick ice-walls, closing np the entrance,
and thus obtaining partial shelter from the chill
ing blasts. And once he heard the firing of guns
and hiaheart beat wildly within him. He dropped
his dulled hatchet, crawled to the centre of the
chasm, and shouted with all bis remaining
strength—shouted until his strained voice was
reduced to the very ghost of a hoarse whisper.
He knew.that his friends were in search of him-
imagined he oould hear his name called; could
do nothing to attract their attention; and, as
the firing grew fainter and farther end farther
away, flung himself down, weeping and wring
ing his hands. The last plank to which he had
clung had been shivered I His neighbors and
friends bad come—and gone. They would never
search that part of the mountain again, hone
would ever know of his fate. He was buried in
an icy tomb until the last tramp should sound,
and hot flashes of flame dissolve the frost-work
around him.
With his mind trembling upon the verge of
m adness, overpowered by sorrow, crushed by
bitter agony, be fell back insensible, and lay for
a long time upon tbe cold, damp snow, that
soon must be his winding sheet. The black vul
ture flapped its wings alKive him, and In' knew
nothing of it. Bnt, after some hours, tbe hun
ter's consciousness returned, though he was far
too mnch crushed, in body and soul to resume
his labors. He crept into the little cavern he
had excavated (would it not be to him a tomb ?),
and gave passionate vent to his griefs. For
many weary hours nothing passed his lips; and
with aching head and fevered brain, with trem
bling limbs and convulsive sobs, he prayed for
deliverance, if by no other hand, at least the
skeleton one of death.
It was rayless, sunless, starless darkness in the
ice cavern, when the springs of his life again
became capable of action. He was ravenously
hungry and arose to satisfy hia hunger with a
portion of the ibex he had left remaining Ontside
m the chasm. He felt around, but could dis
cover no outlet. Had he been frozen in—shut
out from God’s blessed sunshine forever?
Nothing bnt smooth ice met bis burning and
blistered fingers. Then, after an hour’s search,
he found a soft spot, and instantly solved the
mystery. Ho knew there most have been a
heavy fall of snow in the night, and that it had
drifted into and blocked np the opening, and
with the strength of despair he soon dug through.
It was still snowing heavily; tbe flakes fell like
great feathers around, and be drew the rem
nant of tho carcass of the ibex into the cave,
and made another rude meal And thus re
freshed, a new hope was Lorn within him, and
y iin the ice walls resounded with tho blows of
his little hatchet Bnt it was slow work, and
mnch of tho timo was taken up in clearing the
chips from tho little grotto.
A week passed—a week of the most severe
toil and terrible anxiety—and yet ho was not
disheartened. His trust in God had returned;
and live for bis wife and dependent children
k* |.t alive bis often sinking heart. II.- was yet
in hopes of reaching tho upper air—of seeing
his dear ones again. But even as he was think
ing thus, with something of his old time cheer
fulness, a new anxiety took possession of and
nearly overpowered him. The carcass of the
ibex, that had been the innocent cause of all his
trouble, was picked almost to the hones.
With dire starvation staring him in the face,
he bowed bis bead and wept liko a child. Star
vation, that is dreadful, even in thought! Star
vation, that has in it more of honorthan a thou
sand other deaths! He oould almost see it si
lently approaching and for a time despair alone
had possession of him. Then his trust in the
Supreme Being returned and he oommitted him
self unto His holy keeping. “Heavenly Father,”
ho murmured, from between his parched and
blackened lips, “it is Thy hand that has sus
tained mo so far—has sustained me from all
danger. Thou givest food to the young ravens
and markest-even the fall of the tiny sparrow.
None bnt Thou can hear or help me. Hear my
prayer I Save me, O God I Save me I”
Something of sweet consolation came with
the utterance of tho words, and he laid down to
sleep more tranquilly than ho hod done for many
previous nights. Yet, jit was only to be awaken
ed by a new fear. It needed no seer to tell him
that the roas, or hot south wind, was sweeping
over the glaciers and snow-fields of the high
Alps; and that the rain was falling in torrents,
and tho enormous blocks of ice melting, as by
tho touch of fit*. The cavern he had dug with
inflnito labor was almost breast-deep with water,
and it was lushing in with all the swiftness of a
mountain torrent. Instantly ho was wet to the
skin, and stood almost paralyzed with terror.
Then he breasted his way ont of tho chasm, but
it was only to return again as quickly as pos
sible. Never caternct raged more fiercely than
the surging water there. Catting little niches
in the ice-wall, ho climbed beyond the reach of
tho water, and tremblingly awaited his fate.
The waves roso rapidly, higher and higher. He
had climbed until hia head rested against tho top
of the little cave—could go no farther. And
yet, the waves rolled upward around him They
reached his waist—surged higher to his breast—
crept to his throat, and despite all his efforts,
iohed worshippers, even as the voice of the good
priest was repeating, God is everywhere with
me; sad everywhere, even in the most threaten
ing dangers his voice speaks to me in tones of
comfort, and aays : “Call upon me in the day
of trouble, and I will deliver thee, and thou
shalt glorify me!"■—staggering toward the alter,
to kneel at it, bnt fell fainting into the arms of
his wife, who again nursed him to health
strength and manhood.
The Arkansas Horror.

fuuua.
From tbe Memphis Poet. 71st.]
The four colored militiamen, named Tm. Por
ter, Monroe Allen, Hector Acton and William
Beeee, connected with the force stationed at
Marian, Crittenden county Arkansas, who per
petrated the fiendish and beastly crime of rape,
upon several women living in the' vicinity of the
camp, were arrainged before a court martial on
the 18th inst., and were convicted of the alleged
charges, and shot by order. of the Court on the
following day, between 4 and .1 o'clock in the
afternoon. ;MH«I g
The court martial which convicted the parties
consisted of the following named officers :
Lieut. Col. Wain. President; Lieut. Haynes,
Judge Advocate; Capt. Taylor, Capt. Osterwald,
Lieut. Campbell, Lient. Wendlard, Lieut. Spears,
Lieut. Lee, Lient. Goff and Lient. Nichols, col
on-/!.
All of the prisoners, on being called upon to an
swer to.the charges against them, pleaded guilty
with the exception of William Bedae, who {dead
not guilty, but who was, daring the examination
of the case, proven guilty by the evidence of
his own witness.
The vote of the court in deciding the case of
all the parties was unanimous for conviction.
Upon the close of the trial the criminals were
confined in tho guard-house and were allowed
the company of the oolored chaplains oonnected
with the force, who administered religions con
solation to their troubled minds till the time ar
rived for their execution, which was formally
announced to tbe prisoners a half hour previous
to their «lAa>h,
■The intervening moments between the an
nouncement and the time they were shot were
of dreadful agony and wailings, mingled with
cries to the officers to abate their punishment,
and prayers to the Giver of their Uvea for par
don and mercy. Their piteous and load cries
rent the sir, and were heard thronghont tho
neighborhood, sending a chill of horror to alL
The men and officers of the garrison were, how
ever, unanimous in their condemnation of the
outrage, and not a word of remonstrance, or an
intimation of resistance to the execution of the
sentenco of the court, was heard. On the con
trary, it was feared by tbe officers, from the ex
cited feelings of the privates, (particularly of
those in tbe same company of the criminals);
that previous to the promulgation of the order
• f th. court martial, they w<mM break through
til.- 1 •: .re and deal out veugeance themselves to
the prisoners who hod so cruelly disgraced them.
A few minutes previous to the execution, the
prisoners were led ont from the barricade a
short distance, where their ooffins were laid side
by side, s few feet apartj and oach tied to a
stake driven in the ground at the end of the
coffins, with their backs to the same. Forty
men, all colored, and selected from every com
pany, tinder command of Lieutenant Gregory,
colored, were detailed to shoot the criminals.—
They were drawn up into two ranks. At the
command of the officer, the front rank leveled
th. p ;n* at the m<-n and fired, the fatal shots
killing them instantly. A squad of men were
then detailed to place tho bodies in their ooffins
and bury them.
The affair was witnessed by the entire militia
force, with the exception of several scouting
parties.
Two of the nnfortnnate victims of the beastly
lost, which led them to perpetrate the crime of
rapo and to suffer its just penalty, were young
men ulajut sixteen or seventeen years of age,
and in their ignorance, were not aware of the
enormity of the crime. The other two were men
of sufficient age and reason to know what they
began to trickle into his mouth. In another
moment, in another moment he would be stran- 1
sled by them : bis hold would be tom away, and
hia body dashed hither and thither against the
sharp points of tho ioe. “O, God! Save me!
save mo!” burst from him in the terrible agony
of the instant—the moment of time that lay
between him and death.
A noise like thunder—a shivering crash—re-
soended through the chasm. It appeared as if
the very foundations of the world were tottering
beneath him. Now, indeed, ho felt that his end
had come. No! Terror was instantly changed
to rapture. The water rushed out of the cavern
with tho most amazing velocity; he could de
scend and stand upon the bottom without fear.
How this had been accomplished, ho was forced
to wait until tho morning light to determine ;
and with the first beams he saw a great fissure
had been opened, through which the imprisoned
waters hadfonnd their nay to the valley below.
This unlooked-for preservation again inspired
him with confidence—rendered more firm his
trust in God. Through that tunnel he saw a
way to freedom. It was small, to be sure, but
ho conld enlarge it, and ho worked diligently,
until hia strength utterly failed. The ibex was
entirely devoured. He had split the bones and
sacked out the marrow; had gnawed them'over
and over again to appease his hunger. Fortwo
days he baa not tasted a morsel of food. The
hatchet slipped from his hand when he endeav
ored to strike a blow, and be was forced to stand
on the undertaking. There was nothing left
him now bnt to die. *
Another day passed, and no help came. He
lay crouched in a comer wishing that the end
would come, and that swiftly. His eyes were
already filmed and his heart beat faintly. Then
a strange noise aroused him. He looked aloft
and saw a chamois vainly striving to defend it
self from the attack of two old vultures that were
striking at it with wing and beak. It was an un
equal contest, and, at length, the animal, driven
to desperation, attempted to leap the broad
chasm. The effort was a noble one, but it failed
of success. The chamois missed its footing and
fell, bruised and helpless, at the very foot of
the starving man. In an instant his knife was
plunged into its throat, and the warm blood was
drained by his eager lips. This gave him new
life, and he renewed his labor. It was almost a
herculean task. More than once he fell fainting
beside it Bnt hope was very strong within him.
Still, he would have utterly failed not had Heav
en assisted him.
Again, the fonn was busy-et its work of de
struction ; again, the windows of heaven were
opened; and “the rains descended, and the
floods came," and accomplished more in a single
night than his banJa could have done in months.
"With the morning light he crawled through the
now large tunnel; but when he reached the ont
end, found to his horror, that he was on the top
of a mighty precipice. Hia blood boiled; his
brain seemed on fire; his heart beat aa if it
would break through ribs and flesh. He was. if
possible, more desperately imprisoned than be
fore. How was he to get down? Through his
bewildered mind suddenly flashed the thought
of the skins of the ibex and the chamois, and he
was not long in making a rope of them. He
then cut a deep hole in the ice, drove down hi«
alpenstock, fastened one end to it, and swinging
himself off, reached the bottom in safety.
With a cry of joy and a prayer of thankful-
neat, he hastened along the well-known path:
and when the belief the little chapel, that reared
its gilded cross in the Matter valley, was tolling
for the evening prayers, he staggered like a
drunken man into the very midst of the aston-

Nouthern Intercut.
From the Rome Commercial. J
For tho past three years tho Press of tho
South have unitodly advised fanners to touch
light on cotton, as the danger of the South rest
ed in not producing her own bread-stuff. So
far our farmers have not made a speciality of
cotton, and up to this time the South is in a
healthy condition. Tbe present price of cotton,
we fear, will cause many of our planters to for
get the rule that has worked so well for the past
three years, and enter largely in the planting of
cotton. Cherokee, Georgia, is in a healthy con
dition. We have bread and meat in abundance,
and thousands of bushels to supply other sec
tions. Oar cotton crop was a good one, and the
present prices place our farmers in a good con
dition, so much so that the surplus cash on hand
will go far toward relieving the country from
debt.
The true policy of our farmers lies in deep
plowing, planting no more than they can culti
vate and manure well, and working the grain
crop especially. Plant no more cotton than yon
can easily cultivate without neglecting your
grain crop. By pursuing this policy you may
may not get rich in one year, bnt success will
eventually crown your efforts, and your lands
will be more valuable than now.
Lands in the valley of Virginia are now selling
at f&>0 per acre. Tbe lands of Cherokee, Geor
gia, can be brought to the same high state of
cultivation, and be equally as valuable.
The following paragraph from the Charleston
News is sensible, and we commend it to our
readers:
“ But the lessons of this year and the years
which have preceded it, will be worse than
thrown away, if the high prices induce our
planters to make cotton their king and not their
slave. The first labor, the first thought, the
first pains should be given to wheat, com and
provisions; and then, and not before might the
reign of cotton begin. We should have the best
seed, so as to improve the staple; fertilizers
should be used freely, so as to increase the yield
per acre; no more land should be planted than
can be cultivated regularly and well And a
cottpn crop made in this manner will repeat the
lesson of 1888, and realize for us far more money
than a larger yield atlower prices, with millions

There is, we repeat, but one safe plan:
Plenty of provisions first and next a moderate

this policy, they will grow rich; if they do not,

PHOSPHATE. I bought of yon last sprinr, bag been
very tavorable. I used (200) two hundred pounds
upon 00 three-fourths of an acre, third year's new
(round, applying it in the drill, rowi^three feet apart,
sixteen Inches In the drill, on which I had five thou
sand seven hundred stalks of cotton. From this. I
gathered 11324) eighteen hundred and twenty-four
pounds of cotton. Tho last of August, the worm com
milted great ravages ill i!, destroying sll of the Isle
crop, llad it not been for the worm I should bars
madsat least one-third more on the land. I can cheer
fully recommend it to Planters as a Fertiliser for cot

Moxaos Couxtt. Ga.. Jan. 4.1800.
Mr. Geo. Duffdale, Baltimore, Md. •
Dux Biz—I made an experiment upon Cotton the
past season with Baugh’s Raw-Bone Phosphate. I
used it at the rite of only One Hundred Pounds Per
Acre, applying it in the row with the seed, and the
yield of cotton from land to which the Phosphate wm
applied, was One Hundred Per Cent, greater than
from land on which no firtiliasr wm used: the differ
ence being to great that I could tee to the very row
where I stopped dropping the Phosphate.
I can. with confidence, recommend Baugh’s Raw-
Bone Phosphate as being a reliable and satisfactory
article.
