TERRORS OF A SNOW SLIDE.
A GALLANT RRMCCF..
A Family Vliirlrd litrfrr nn A vnlnnrhr In
Netndi~lu DnrltncM nnd Terror.
I From tbe Car non Appeal.)
John Engolbright, who reached the
city, brought the now* of a gallant
roscui! of a family of six person* found
under a *now slide in Woodford's
Canyon. The scene of the snow slide
was on old deserted shinglo mill. Wood
ford's canyon is n deep and picturesque
gorge in tho mountains, live or six
miles long, and loads into Hope valley.
In the fall of last yoar a family, consist
ing of a man and his wife and four chil
dren, came over the mountains and
camped at tho old shingle mill in the
canyon. Tho season was very late, and
though repeatedly warned, the family,
deceived by the pleasant weather, con
tinued to remain. After tho first snow
the man, whoso namo was Maxwell,
came down to Woodford’s and made ar
rangements to havo two horses taken
care of during the winter. He said he
had no money to pay for tho food at the
timo, but would redeem them in the
spring. He also said that he made up
his mind to wiutcr in tho canyon, as he
hail provisions, and game was abundant
He was advised not to take tho risks, lint
ho said the placo lie was in was a strong
structure, and as it had given evidence
of standing n good many winters he
wonld risk it.
On Thursday then was a heavy fall of
snow in tho canyon, followed by a sunny
day on Friday. During tho day there
were several largo slides of snow from
the rocks which riso on the sides of tho
canyon, in some instances as high us <IOO
feet Heavy bodies of snow toppled
over from those heights, anil in their
descent carried away large masses of
rock, which felled the pines at tho hot
tom of the gorge. During the night
Mr. Mork, tho toll-gate keeper, heard
several of these slides, and the next day
the road up to the canyon was choked
with snow. On Sunday he went up to
tho shinglo mill on snow shoos, and
found that the place occupied by tho
family had been buried under the snow.
Tho slide had commenced on tho stoop
mountain side, about 200 yards up the
slope, and started n number of boulders
in its oourse. The track of the ava
lanche was marked with prostrate pines,
and the mnss of snow upon the log
stmoture lay packed hard to tho depth
of ten or fifteen feet. Hoeing ho could
do nothing, Merk returned to Wood
ford's and soon raised a force of n dozen
or twenty men, who went np with
shovels and picks and other appliances
to effect a rescue,
Tho snow was packed so hard that it
was almost like solid rock, and required
picks wielded by stout hands to loosen
it. By night they had reached tho logs
which formed part of tho stable, and
found that tho roof had been crushed in
by a boulder. By this time tho force
had been augmented, and, building a
rousing fire in the snow, they worked in
four shifts of Bix men each, each shift
working an hour. Woodford's Station
was drawn on for supplies, and with
plenty of food and stimulants, tho men
kept to their work. During a portion of
tho timo two shifts worked at separate
places.
At a little before 11 o'clock the work
men cleared away a place where they
reached one of the loga which formed a
portion of the wall of the stable. They
hammered on this with ail nxo and
waitod for an answering knock. While
they waited and listened with intense
interest, one of them vowed that ho
could hear faint taps from within, but
the others doubted. The log was again
struck with an axe, and this time there
came several distinct knocks, and the
outsiders broke into a cheer that made
the old canyon ring. Hy midnight they
had cut through the log, but it was hard
work, ns the snow was packed hard
about it, and the hole made was not over
a few inches wide at the towor end.
When tho edgo of the axe went through
they called at tho aperture, and were
answered by a voice: "For God's sake
push in something to eat; my children
are dying.” In a moment bread, meat
and a small flask of brandy were passed
through tho aperture, and the wearied
toilers iu tho snow sprang to the work
*nd made n fresh attack upon tho log
which imprisoned six people. They
cleared away the snow several feet above
and it was 3 o'clock in the morning bo
foro they cut through tho log, about six
feet above tho first out. Then came a
fear that the place between the two outs
would fall inward and crush the family.
The second hole, however, gave a better
chanoe of communication, and Maxwell
said that if they wonld get a candle in to
him bo would tell where the log would
fall. A candle was taken from a lantern
and given to him with matches tied to it.
In a few moments the glow of a light was
seen from the outside, and this light
ni ust have been very welcome to tho
Maxwell family, as they hail Ih'oii in total
darkness since Friday night, when the
avalanche struck the stable. He soon
called out to push the log forward, but it
was fast and required considerable pry
ing with crowbars before it yielded.
Those nearest the aperture followed
the log, and climbed through the open
ing with lanterns. There, in a space
about ten feet square, was Maxwell and
bis family. His wife was lying on a
mattress and some blankots, with 0 j
young child in her arms, and three j
others clinging to her and crying bitter- !
ly. When the lantern shone ou their
faces they put their hands to their eyes !
and turned away in fear. The woman !
was hardly able to move, and Maxwell,
who had kept a stout heart through all
the long days and nights of darkness,
gave out at this point, and cried like a
child.
Chester, the oldest boy, who is but 8
years of age, had worked with his father '
to get out, and was worn out with |
hunger and exhaustion. There were two j
loaves of bread within reaoh after the
roof of the stable fell in, and the little
follow refused to touch a morsel, giving
all to his mother and sisters. This war
all the mother, the baby, and the
two daughters—Mary and Callio— aged 4
and 6 years, rospeelively, bod to live
on since Friday afternoon, when they
took dinner, until about midnight on
Sunday. There was plenty of flour and
some game on the place, but the logs of
the roof, which were crushed in, cut off
all communication from these, although
Maxwell and his son had vainly endeav
ored to cut away through a three-foot
log with a jack-knife. The inmates of
tho terrible prison were taken in sleighs
to Woodford’s, where they were soon as
comfortable as warm fires, good provis
ions, nnd kind attention could make
them. Wtien Mr. Engelbright left for
Woodford's on Monday afternoon they
were all doing well, and were tho re
cipients of all tho attention that tho lit
tle oamp could bestow. Mr. Merk, the
honest old Gorman who keeps tho toll
gate, and who first found the Maxwell
family, is now tho biggest man in tho
canyon.

Do Crows Know When Sunday (nines 1
A large number of crows were forag
ing for food quite close to the bouse of
a farmer residing in a town near Hart
ford, Ot. They wore unusually bold, as
though hunger had driven them to for
get their usual shyness and distrust of
their natural enemies—man. Two of
them lit closo to tho hack door and
picked up the crumbs with a seeming nn
surniieo of their safety not easily ac
counted for. The farmer was telling a
neighbor about the tameness of the
birds and the latter remarked, "Yon
won't see them so foolhardy to-morrow.”
"Why not to-morrow as xvell rs to
day?” xvna tho answer. "Because to-day
is Sunday, nnd those crows know it,
They know that one day in every seven
they are not popped at hy hoys and
men. They can count, crows can, aud
they know that on tho seventh day they
are exempt from persecution." “I)o you
believe stioh stuff rs that?” "Of course
I do. I used to live near a swamp,
where thousands of crows made their
roosting place, and early in the morning
they used to start tor the mountains for
their food. And I was often out with
my gun trying to got a shot at them.
Week-days they beat shy of me, and I
could seldom got a shot at them; but on
Sunday morning it was different. Then
they would fly loxv down and close to my
house, their wings almost flapping the
ridge-boards of liouso aud barns. Do
crows know when it is Sunday? Of
course they do.”
The Wealthiest Man.
At tho beginning of every year, says
a newspaper correspondent, Air. W. H.
Vanderbilt, of New York, makes it nn
invariable custom to take a careful in
ventory of his immense property. His
strong-lwixes are then opened, their con
tents counted, and from tho total the
profit for the year is reckoned. In
January, 1883, he told an intimate friend,
who had dined with him that day, that
he was worth $194,000,000.
"I believe I am.” said Mr. Vander
bilt, "the richest man in the world. In
England, the Duke of Westminster is
said to t>e worth 8200,000,000 bnt it is
mostly in lands aud houses. It does uot
yield him two per cent. A year from
now I shall be worth more than $200,-
000,000, and will havo an income equal
to six per cent, on that amount.”
LiTTT.r Frank, aged five, was not
awake when the rest of the family went
down to breakfast the other morning.
Just os the meal was finished, he made
his appearance at the dining-room door.
Ills mother rallied him upon lus tardi
ness. and he replied, rather shamefaced
ly, “I guess t slept myself over.”
A Woman Soldier’s Pension Claim.
A singular story is with
two bills offered in the House by Repre
sentative Cutehcon, of Michigan. One
provides for the removal of the charge of
desertion from the record of Franklin
Thompson, of a Michigan regiment, And
the other grants a pension to Sarah
Emma E. Heolyc, alias Franklin Thomp
bod, of tho same regiment. At tho out
break of the war Mias Scelye, as she saw
regiment after regiment hurrying South
ward, bad a growing desire to go to the
front herself. She wanted to go ss a
nurse, but, after thinking it over, enmo
to tho conclusion that it would bo better
to put ou a man's uniform and go to the
war as a private in a Detroit regiment.
So she did. Sho went with tho regi
ment to Washington. Sho went into
camp with it. She went to Bull Run
with it, carrying her musket nnd her
accoutrements like a man. After tho
battle of Bull Run sho found herself
separated from her regiment, betwceD
tho Federal and Confederate lines.
Through the night she trudged toward
Washington, where she arrived twenty
four hours’ behind her frionds. Sho
then went with them to Fredericksburg,
and afterward through the Peninsula
campaign. Everywhere sho marched
and fought nnd lived like n man. It be
gun to tell upon her health, however, so
she had herself transferred to one of tho
Western armies. Hero, after a timo,
she lieeamo a mail carrier, first for the
regiment, then for the brigade, and then
for the division. While performing the
duties she fell ill, and was ordered to the
hospital. There she felt stiro her sex
would be discovered. Accordingly she
determined not to go to the hospital.
Tho only way out was to desert. After
ward, in her own clothes and under her
own namo, sho returned to the army ns
a nurse and cared for her lato comrades
to the end of the war. Now she is mar
ried, and lives in lowa. Of course, the
charge of desertion still stands against
her. Sho wants it removed, and then
she wants a pension for physical dis
abilities, winch slio says she incurred in
the army,
Five Cents n Day. ,
The cumulative power of money is a
fact very generally known, hut not gen
erally appreciated. There are few men
living at the age of 75, hanging on to
existence by somo slender employment,
or pensioners, it may lie, on the Iwnuty
of kindred or friends, but might, hy ex
ercising the smallest particle of thrift,
rigidly adhered to ill tile past, have set
aside a respectable sum xvliieii wonld ma
terially help them to maintain their in
dependence in their old age. Lot us take
the small and insignificant sum of 5
cents, which wc dnily pay to linvo our
hoots blackened, to rido in a car the dis
tance we nre aide to walk, or to procure
a had cigar we are better without, and
seo what its value is in the course of
years. Wo will suppose a boy of 15, hy
blackening his own boots, or saving his
ear-faro, or going without his cherished
cigarette, put* by 5 cents a day; in ono
year he sivoa $18.25, which being
banked bears interest at the rate of sper
cent, per annum, compounded hi
yearly. On this tinsis, when our thrifty
youth readies the ago of 65, having s"t
his 6 oent* tier day religiously aside dur
ing 50 years, the result is surprising.
He has accumulated no less a sum than
$3,893.17. A scrutiny of tho process of
this result is interesting. At the ago of
30 onr hero hail 8395; at- 40, $877; at 50,
$1,607; at 60, $2,962. After 15 years
saving, bis annnal interest more than
equals his original principal; in 26 years
it is more than double; in 35 years it ia
four times aa much; in 45 years it Is
eight times as much, aud the last year’s
interest is SB6, or ten and a half times as
much ils tho annual amount he put* by.
Tho actual cash amount saved in 50
years is $912.50, tho difference between
that and the grand total of $3,893.17
viz., $2,980.67, is accumulated interest.
What a magnificent premium for tho
minimum of thrift that can be well rep
resented in figures 1

A Mixed Snake Story.
In North Caroiiua there is a reptile
knowu as the joint snake. When at
tacked it flies into pieces, each piece
taking euro of itself. A darkey attacked
one of them the other day and to his
utter amazement it broke all np, each
section jumping off m a different direc
tion. In the oourse of an hour he re
turned that way and was utterly amazed i
agspn to see it all together except the j
tail-piece. After waiting a few minutes i
he saw the tail coming up to join the 1
body, taking sharp, quick little jerks.
It rams nearer and nearer, nntil within
a few inches of the three-quarter snake,
when it gave a sudden jump and hitched
on in its proper place with a fuss resem
bling the popping of a cap. The darkey
knocked it to pieces several times, and
each time it came together again. He j
carried his amusement too far, however, i
in throwing the tail part of the snake ;
across the creek, just to see, ho said,
“how long it would take it to catch up;"
but it never caught lip. The snake,
with its three joints, was carried to the
house, where anew tail is beginning to
grow to replace the lost one. A gentle
man who knows much about this singu
lar species says a head will grow on the
detached trunk, and there will be two
snakes instead of one.

Newport ?”
Edith—" Yes, indeed, I was in every
hunt. Oh ! it’s glorious—the prancing
steeds, the baying honnds, the exhilar

fields and fences, and tire rush to be iu
at the death and get the brush. Oh I
how I wish you could have been along.”

The woman who seeks relief from pain by
the free use of alcoholic stimulant* and nar
cotic drugs finds what ahe seeks only so far as
sensibility is destroyed or temporarily suspen
ded. No cure was ever w rought by such means,
and the longer they are employed the more
hopeless the case becomes. Leave chloral,
morphia and belladonna alone, and use Mrs.
Pinkham s Vegetable Compound.
