THE SNOW FLOWER.
A Beautiful Bloom Which Grows From
and Returns to Snow.
From the New York Times. |
The great botanist, Authoskoif, in
IS7O, found in Siberia the ravishing
snow flower, the seeds of which he took
to St. Petersburg, and which flowered in
December in the presence of the Impe
rial family. This beautiful and impress
ive member of the floral kingdom is per
fectly white —leaves, stock and flower —
and it springs up to the height of 3 feet
in three days. The plant possesses only
three snow-white leaves and its flower;
buds, blossoms and fades in 24 hours. It
is in the shape of a star, about 4 inches
in diameter, and possesses petals of
great length. It exhales a slight and
delicate odor, but if touched by a warm
hand, both it and the leaves, and the
stock on which they rest dissolve in
stantly into a substance that seems al
most wholly puie snow.
It would appear, indeed, that it was a
kind of snow fungus, but it produces
seeds which can be transplanted, and
which when sown in the snow readily
produce flowers It thrives in the sem
piternal, snows of Siberia, and has all
the appearance of being composed of
snow and ice. It is frequently mentioned
in Russian, Tariar and Norse poetry, but
up to its actual discovery by a botanist of
high standing less than 20 years ago, its
existence had generally been considered
fabulous.
A Good one, if True, on Rev. Sain. Jones.

Sam. Jones paused in a discourse on
patience, at Omaha, the other night, and
said if there was one man present who
never had spoken a cross w r ord to his
wife, he would ask him to rise. By and
by a round-faced, good-natured man
stood up.
“Thank God,” said Sam, “there’s one
man who never spoke a cross word to his
wife.”
Everybody took a good look at the
paragon, when he broke the silence with
the remark: “I haven’t any wife. I’m
a bachelor.”

Special to the Coukant.]
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 26, ISB6.—This is
the day after Thanksgiving, and your
correspondent has many things to give
thanks for. In the first place, as is usual
on such days, many invitations came
pouring in for “Uncle Max” to dine with
them. What to do was the greatest puz
zle as I desired to accommodate all, and
to do the right toward the Courant’s
representative, and not insult anyone of
the “Turkey legation,” I tried to bring
to bear all powers within my grasp, held
a peace consultation which resulted in
my accepting the largest share ot turkey.
Aftu* I had it, I felt more than ever my
Inability to retain and govern it, and
what to do wiih it, was not the greatest
ourden, for I was willing to do most any
thing, but how to manage the weight of
responsibility almost broke me down. I,
however, marched through Turkey, took
possession of the most sightly and richest
portion of the outer edge oi his royal
highness, and by the time of my next
letter (No. 7) 1 will be able to tell your
many readers how I feel. One thing is
certain, It is a g> ol thing to have all you
need, but quite another thing to have all
you want, and 1 am suffering a little
upon the want part yesterday. Pxvanted
and I got it; to-day 1 have it, and 1 don’t
want it, and if I could only know that
your subscribers and readers fared as
well as the writer, 1 wuold again have
more to give thanks lor. Yet I hope and
pray you all had more than i, and that
“Thanksgiving” was at the door and
upon the table of every family in Carters
ville and Bartow county, and that justice
was fully done.
The people of Cartersville will rejoice
to hear that Rev. Sam Jones is beloved,
honored and revered by the people of
Omaha, and by his faithful, plain and
sympathetic words has won many thou
sands of friends and as many more souls
to Christ. This past week has been one
of greatest results, and Omaha is stirred
as she never was betore, and religion is on
a higher plane than when Rev. Sam
Jones came here. The only regret is that
he cannot remain longer.
Rev. Sam Jones preached the Thanks
giving sermon, at the exposition build
ing, to a congregation of over 4,000 peo
ple, and your correspondent never heard a
finer Thanksgiving discourse, and the
unanimous verdict was, “Omaha never
KMened to a greater or more powerful
sermon,” and praise came from the lips of
thousands as you passed them upon the
streets, wending their way home.
As your correspondent entered the ho
tel he met many commercial travelers who
had been at the meeting, and their gen
eral decision was, “they had heard the
greatest sermon in all their life.” From
this you may know that Rev. Sam Jones
is fast becoming the choice of the people,
and the wonder of thousands have here
tofore been, “Why can he draw such a
crowd day after day?” This question can
easily be answered, because he always
has so much sympathy for poor human
beings, and the truth is not concealed in
any of his thrusts. The people love the
truth, although at times it pricks them,
yet they admire a man who has the nerve
to stand up.and tell them, “Whatsoever
a man soweth that shall he also reap,”
which was his text for last night, and
was listened to by an immense audience
who, from the beginning to the end of
the discourse, sat spell-bound, drinking
in the truth as it fell from Mr. Jones’
lips. 3lr. Jones remains here until next
Monday when lie leaves tor home, going
over the Wabash line to St. Louis, thence
to Cincinnati over the Ohio and Missis
sippi road and thence to Cartersville over
the Cincinnati Southern and Western and
Atlantic roads, where he will take a
much needed ten days’ rest and then fill a
three days’ engagement—December 13th,
14th and loth at Toronto, Canada. De
cember 17th will find him at Brooklyn,
Xew York, holding forth in “Talmage’s
Tabernacle.” He then goes home for the
holidays, and the first week in January
he commences his labors in Boston.
Prof. Excell, the soloist, has been doing

Mr. M J. Maxwell,the Sam Jones choir
ister, has won many friends in Omaha.
He is looking healthy and happy,after the
arduous duties of the three weeks’ cam
paign.
The city of Omaha has many things to
commend it. It certainly has been blessed
by nature, and can boast of being a “city
upon a hill,” with the rich low lands of
the Missouri Valley added. Many fine
and extensive business buildings have
recently been finished and many more
are being built, which will be occupied
by banks, wholesale merchants, hotels,
and the retail trade in general. The
many hill tops are well built up with
residences, and still the demand is for
more Omaha can well be said to be on
a boom in this one respect and is appre
ciated.
As to the morality, the least I say will
be the best for Omaha. Suffice it to say,
she has some of the best people I ever
met, and some of the grandest Christian
workers in America. With all this, they
have 180 licensed saloons, which paj
each SI,OOO per yt ar for the privilege of
debauching tlie fathers, husbands, sons
and brothers of this beautiful city, to
gether with not a few wives, daughters
and sisters. With these 180 saloons open
seven days in the week, is it hard to con
ceive what might follow? Certainly they
need Mr. Jones, and his presence ha3
done the people good and has strengthened
the Christian faith, put new courage into
the Church members, opened the eyes of
sleepy and careless inhabitants, and new
life reigns in many a house in which be
fore was confusion. Being thus aroused,
they are now moving upon the mayor of
Omaha to enforce the Sunday law, with
a fair prospect of once more seeing this
citv observe the Sabbath and keep it
holy. I had an interview with one of
Omaha’s most influential citizens, and
remarked: “How about the wickedness
of your city that I hear so much about?”
He answered: “I am extremely sorry to
admit that we have the most wicked city
in the United States, but thank God she
is now so warmed up by this revival work
we can see the necessity for reform, and
you may expebt to hear of the continu
tion of this good, and the Omaha of the
future will not be the Omaha of the
past.” ,
“How about your gambling places .
“My God! I am sorry you mentioned
that, for it is a disgrace to us all to know
we have the worst gambling hells in
prominent citizen, talking
this morning in my presence, said : “This
is the worst city in the world; it was
conceived in sin and born in iniquitr. I
have lived here twenty-five years, have
been in all the religious movements
within that time, and never before have
I known Omaha to be so thoroughly
aroused, and much good done in revival
work as has been done by Rev. Sam
Jones. We shall ever be thankful to the
Almighty forsendiug him to us.”

TWO TRAINS PASS ON THE SAME
TRACK.
Chicago Herald.]
“Talkin’ ’bout peculiar railway acci
dents,” said an old braketnan with two
mashed, crooked hands and a weather
beaten face; “talkin’ ’bout peculiar rail
way smash-ups, let me tell you ’bout one
I seen when a youngster. It was ’bout
twenty year ago, an’ created heaps of
excitement at the time, though I s’pose
most folks has forgotten it by this lime.
But I haiu’t. Mighty good reason why
I shouldn’t forgit it —I was there, I was,
an’ pretty nigh g>>t done up.
“It was down on the old Erie road, iu
Y"ork State. I was a track-walker, an’
one dark night \va out on my section
near Hornellsville. I had just reached a
straight, level place ’tween two curves
an’ cuts when I looked up an’ saw the
headlight of ‘a train coinin’ toward me.
Tnat was all ’cause that train was
expected. It was the pay-ear runnin’
b ack to Xev\ T Y"ork, and L could see that
she was a-eomin’ like lightuin’. .Tost
then l turned an’ looked iu t’other di
rection, an’ by the great horn spoon
there was another headlight, just coinin’
round into the straight—a wild ingine
runnin’ back to Hornellsville.au’ makin’
sixty mile an hour, if he was movin’
at all.”
“What did I do? I’m a-comiu’ to
that. My first idea was to run, so’s to
git as far a way’s possible when they struck
each other. But I hain’t no coward.
I’ve alius been noted for ray bravery and
my veracity, and it’s the truth I’m tell
ing ye when I say that I made up my
mind to prevent that wreck if I could do
it by riskin’ my own liie. Well, sir, I
bad no sooner thought ot it than I began
to act. I seized a sleeper that was lyin’
’long side the track there an’ placed it
right acro-s the rails. While 1w as doin’
this —an’ 1 did it quicker’n I kin tell you
about it—it seemed that both ingines was
on to me, an’ then a-screamin’ like mad.
I had just barely got the sleeper laid
when th. wild engine rushed up, an’ al
most hit me as I drew back. Then I
shut my eyes an, droppel into the
ditch.
“Guess I must o’laiu there ten minutes
or such a matter, when one o’ the rail
road men came and tugged at me an’
told me to git up—everything was all
right an’ nobody hurt.”
“ saved us from an awful wreck,’
he said. Git up, old fellow; you’re a
hero.”
“ S-saved you from a wreck!’ I gasp
ed ; ‘h-liow did it happen ?’ ”
“Why, that tie you put on the track
was just the stuff, ole feller, just be
stuff. Our wild ingine got to it just the
lore the pay-ear did, and when we struck
it we went flyin’ into the air, clear over
the top o’ the pay-ear and her ingine.
Every wheel took the rails on t’other side,
an’we run half a mile ’fore we could
stop her.’
“I rubbed my eyes and stared at him
“ ‘Oh, you don’t believe me,’ he says;
‘but 100k —there stood the ingines and
you kin see for yourself. The wild in
gine is between Hornellsville an’ the
pay-car.’
“I looked an’ saw that it was true. In
placin’ that tie on the track I had done
better than I had any idea on. My in
tention was to throw one o’ the ingines
from the track so that only one of ’em
would be wrecked, but I hope never to
see a railroad agin in my life if that wild
ingine didn’t jump over t’other one an’
light on her feet like a cat. I had solved
the problem how to make two trains pass
each other on the same track.”
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
The Daily Routine of His Life--What He
Eats and How He Sleeps and Works.
Lippincott’s Magazine.]
President Cleveland rises at *l% o’clock,
dresses and shaves himself,and is ready for
breakfast at 8. lie breakfasts en farnille,
and finishes his repast in less than thirty
minutes. His breakfast usually consists
of oatmeal, beefsteak, coffee, hot cakes,
and eggs. He is very fond of fruit, and
eats freely of it. He leaves the breakfast
table and go< s directly to his office and
begins work, without any exercise what
ever, writing letters and looking over pa
pers until 10 o’clock, when the callers be
gin to arrive. He then has a seiege of a
couple of hours with the statesmen an
office seekers, which lasts until
o’clock, when he is ready for his lun
cheon. He eats this in less than fifteen
minutes, and, like his every day break
fasts and dinners, it is eaten in the private
dining room, and the whole family sit
down together. President Cleveland’s
lunch consists of bread and butter, cold
meats, a liule fruit and a cup of tea.
After he has eaten it he goes directly
back to his office andVorks steadily until
4. At this time he goes out to drive, in
company with his private secretary, Col.
Lament. He returns in time for dinner,
which is ready at 7 o’clock. lie does not
dress for dinner in the conventional style,
except when he has guests who will ap
pear in evening dress. His private din
ners are plain. Wine is served only when
there are guests present who are accus
tomed to drinking wine with their meals.
He is not so fond of beer as has been re
ported by the newspapers, the total
White House consumption of the past
year being not more than two dozen bot
tles.- The President’s daily dinner con
sists of five or six courses; first there is
soup, then lish, then a roast, followed by
game, dessert, fruit, and, after dinner,
coffee He does not sit long at table, and
immediat-ly on leaving it he goes up into
the corridors of the second story of the
White House and smokes a cigar, after
which he goes back to his work. Presi
dent Cleveland never smokes in his office,
and the only smoking he does is this
solitary post-prandial cigar. He goes to
bed about midnight, and faffs to sleep as
soon as his head touches the pillow. His
system is such that six or seven hours’
sleep is sufficient for fyim.
Newspaper Law.
Any person who has taken a paper reg
ularly from the postoffice—whether di
rected to his name or another’s or wheth
er he is a subscriber or not —is responsi
ble for the payment.
The courts have decided that refusing
to take newspapers or periodicals from
the postoffice or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima-facie evi
dence of intentional fraud.
If any person orders his paper discon
tinued, he must pay all arrearages or the
publisher can continue to send until pay
ment is made, and collect the whole
amount. An action for fraud can be in
stituted againt any person, whether he is
responsible in a financial way or not,
who refuses to pay his subscription.

“THIS WAV' HOW.”
A Laughable Aecount of a School Teach
er’* Examination, But of Course It
Isn’t True.
A late issue of the Omaha, Neb., Bee
contains the following ludicrous
of an alleged examination of a school
teacher in Cumming, Ga.:
The public school system of Georgia is
an impoverished institution. It contracts
with its teachers for a term of sixty-five
days at five cents per day per capita, and
settles with them at about sixty-five cents
on the dollar. The teacher must accept
this or persuade the kind-hearted patron
to pay the remainder. Any one enjoying
the ludicrous can spend a healthfu’ naif
hour at certain of these of these examina
tions, especiallj’ when the commissioner,
as in this case, possesses a natural vein
of humor. The applicant was a man of
about forty, with a cheap cast of feature
and a body half as broad as long. He
said he didu’t claim to know all—wasn’t
a graduate, etc., but he did know enough
to teach them heathen down at Shake
Hag, cause he’d teached there four years,
and they didn’t know nothin yit. The
official said he’d ask a few primary ques
tions, and began with:
“What’s a letter?”
“A thing creeked sometimes and somer
times ’taint.”
“What is a syllable?”
“Hits a word split in two.”
“How many parts of speech?”
“Three—coarse, fine and superfine.”
“What’B a verb?”
“Hit’s suthin’ that tackles onto sutliin’,
or shows that suthin’ tackles onto hit.”
“What is reading?”
“Hits talk fivm h hook.”
“How do you teach reading?”
“Sometimes by coaxin’ and sometimes
by a board.”
“What is geography?”
“Haiu’t no classes in that.”
“But you might have. How would you
teach it?”
“By askin’ ’em questions.”
“What are the fundamental rules of
arithmetic?”
“Funda what?”
“Fundamental rules.”
“Don’t know him.”
“I had no reference to an individual.
I meant tiie principal rules of arithme
lic.”
“You mean the way how?”
“Yes.”
“Can’t jis’ remember.” •
Tiiisof course is an exceptional subject
of ignorance, but the public school
teachers in the Georgia backwoods are
not proverbial for their much learning.
There are some good schools, however,
and this county has two or three of a
higher grade. The high school here is
presided over by a clever young lawyer—
a Georgian and of cultivated taste.
IN THE MOON.
How tlie Earth Looks From Pale Lunar,.
When It Is Night In that Silvery Orb.
At last, however, night sets in. Grate
ful it comes after the sun has gathered
up his shining rays and gone to his
rest. All at once we are plunged into
comparative obscuri y, for again there is
no twilight to stay the steps of depart
ing day.
At one stride comes the dark. But
looking up into the sky we behold a vast
orb which pours down a milder and
more beneficent splendor than the great
lord of the system. It is such a moon, as
we terrestrials cannot boast, for it is no
less than thirteen times as large and
luminous as our own. There it hangs in
the firmanent without apparent change
of place, as if “fixed in its everlasting
seat.” But not without a change of
surface. For this great globe is a paint
ed panorama and turning around majes
tically on its axis, presents its oceans and
continents in grand succession. As Eu
rope and Africa, locking the Mediter
ranean in their embrace, roll to the
right, the Atlantic oilers its waters to
view, then the two Americas, with
their huge forests and vast prairies, pass
under inspection. Then the great basin
of the Pacific, lit up with the island
fires, meets the gazer’s eye, and as this
glides over the scene, the eastern rim of
Asia, the upper portion of Australia
glide into sight. The Indian Ocean and
afterwards the Arabian Sea, spread them
selves out in their subdued splendor, and
thus in four and twenty hours “the great
rotundity we tread” turns his pictured
countenance to the moon and grandly
repays the listening lunarians, repeat
ing, to the best of his ability, the story
of his birth.
Nor is the sky less marvelous in an
other respect, for the absence of any at
mospheric diffusion of light permits the
constellations to shine out with a dis
tinctness never paralleled on earth. They
glitter like diamond points set in a firma
ment of ebony. Stars and clusters which
we by the naked eye flock into
view and crowd the lunar heavens.

Irresistible Logic.
Two little boys of the street stood near
a fruit and candy stand in front of the
board of trade building. They had ten
cents between them.
“Let’s buy some lemonade,” said one
of the lads.
“Yaw; let’s buy candy,” replied the
other.
“Oh,” exclaimed the first speaker,
“lemonade is much nicer’n candy. It’s
cold and then, besides, there’s the lemon.
Yum, yum, yum.”
“Yes,” replied his companion, “but 10
cents’ worth of candy will last two hours,
and then there’s the taste.”
The philosopher’s logic was irresistible
and the candy was purchased.”— Chicago

There are now fifteen convict camps in

shall be visited by the principal keeper
of the penitentiary, or his assistant, once
a month, and by the principal physician
three times a year. To make these visits
the officers named must travel over fifty
thousand miles by rail and a considerable
distance by buggies or hacks. Only one
of the officers has a railroad pa<, and
that can be used only between two points
on one railroad. If the General a-'em
bly does not appropriate a sufficient sum
to meet the expense of making the visits
to the camps, and the governor refuses to
draw upon the penitentiary fund for that
purpose, the visits cannot be made. It
is thought that the senate \vill take steps
to amend the general appropriation set,
so that the sum set apart to meet the ex

The reduction of internal revenue and the

Medicines, no doubt has largely benefltted the
consumers, as well as relieving the burden of

per dozen has been added to increase the size of
the 1 Kittles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the "5-eent
