Narrow Ehh|>( from locherg.
While our siiijis were lying qmetly
at the foot of this immense and won
derful creation of ice, it happened that
the bergs immediately to the 6eaward
«• us voimnenoed whirling along in
« •i.-iis, acted upon either by
nets of the tide caused by
quiet avalanche at some short dist
ance away, or else by a vast bodily
pressure outward from the glacier it
self. However that may bo, our dan
ger was imminent. The wind was
blowing strongly, so we double-reefed
t he topsoils, cast off and made sail.—
The only passage of egress was be
tween two gigautic bergs that towered
loftily above our mastheads. These
were fust closing together; wo had to
run the gauntlet, and notone moment
too soon; in fact, ten seconds later
and I believe we should all have per
ished, and the ship have been smashed
into pieces. It was u sight to he once
seen and ever to bo remembered. Kir
James Boss, standing near the men
at the helm, directing by the motion
of his bnud, perfectly self-possessed,
more handsome nud noble-looking in
his i hen cool and commanding atti
tilde than over, every eye fixed upon
him, or painfully watching the clos'
ing distance between the majestic nr
J ili i s of a fearful doom. Our very
breath was held ns each and all
s •emed to await the inevitable fiat of
Uie angel of destruction. Moments
b> enme Lonrtf as tho vessel's 1 length
forged through. Crash, crush 1 not
wir i, not a movement. Tho lofty gi
auts bad closod upon our quarters,
tbrowed one of our boats inboard on
i In deck, crushing her nud her davits
th.-ship,'checked, staggered for one
moment; the noise of her rushing
through the water reverberated up
the sides of tho bergH, when, just as
we expected to bo overborne and thing
into eternity, our noble vessel, that
sveiucd to share in the exquisite ten
sum of the moment, slipped through
clear of the splendid masses, that, ios'
ing all their terror, now commanded
our admiration, with full liberty of
breathing action resumed. Life was
before us aguin. Tho very ship was
endeared to her drew from that mo
inont. Did she not st em almost
allure our joy and relief when, tit-
were, passing through dentil's icy
grip, sho so nobly plunged again into
char hater? But a fresh scono had
nriscu before our eyes. Countless ice
bergs of enormous magnitude bnd
gathered round in all directions,
obliging us again to yield obedience
to their sway, unable to thread our
way to tho opon son. Most fortnnato
Jy tho mysterious commotion in the
water had ceased, and these colossal
monuments of arctic solitude had be
come motionless. We looked up to
their summits with n mixed feeling of
wonder and awe, and, gazing among
tho tortuous passages formed by tho
accidental variety of their positions,
were fully impressed with the certain
ty that no such mighty display of
marvelous panorama would ever ngain
confront our astonished souses.—

He Couldn’t Believe It,
“Where am I?” asked Henry Slat
er, ns he balanced before the desk
and looked around him.
“You are in court for being drunk,”
replied His Honor.
"Well, did I ever! Is this a court ?’’
“It is."
“And I was drunk ?”
"You were.”
“Great lauds! Tho idea! When
did I get drunk?"
“Last night.”
-Is it possible! What did 1 get
drunk on?"
“Beer, I think, by your looks."
“Lands alive! And wbntdidl do?"
“Yon lay down on the sidewalk."
“Do toll'. It doesu't seem possible !
Am I am iu Detroit?
“You are.”
“Great snakes! Well, who'll a
thought it ? Then this is a court?"
“Ye-."
“S ikes to gracious ! but I can hard
ly believe it!- Why, I never got drunk
in my life before, anil this is the first
time I was ever a prisoner. Will you
fine me?”
“Yes, five dollars.”
“Horns, spoons and saltpeter!
Well, if this won’t be news to the old
woman! Here’s your money, Judge,
and if you would let me sit down here
a spell to find out who I am, aud
where I am, I’d be powerfully obleged
to you. Well, did I ever i The old
woman won’t believe it, and the boys
will think I’ve turned ont a crank —
Drank—arrested—fined $5 00! Land

Arkansas Gazette.
Miss President, fellow women and
male trash generally: I am here to
day for the purpose of discussin wim-
min’s rights, re-cussing her wrongs
and cussing the men.
I believe tho sexes were created
perfectly equal, with the women a lit
tle more equal than rne.n
I also believe tbut the world to-day
would have been huppier if man hud
never oxbisted.
As a success tntui is a failure, and I
bless my stars that, my mother was a
woman. [Applause. |
I not only maintain the principles,
but maintain n shiftless husband be
sides.
They say tbut man was created first.
Well, spose he was. Ain’t first ex
periments always failures ? •
Jf I waa.a betting man I would bet
$2 50 they are.
Tho only decent thing about him
was a rib, and that went to make
something better. [Applause
And then they threw into our faces
about taking an npple. T’ll bet five
dollars Adam boosted her up tho tree
aud only gave her the core.
And what did he do when he was
found out? True to his masenliu
instincts, ho sneaked behind Eve’s
Grecian bend, and said: “’Twusn't
mp; ’twas her," aud the woman has
had to father everything menu, and
motiicifit too.
What we want is ballot, aud the
ballot we are bound to have, if we
have to let down our back Lair and

District Attorney Corkhill denies
the report that lie lias decided to have
autopsy made upon tho laxly of
Guitciui after the hanging in order to
set at rest forever the question of his
insanity. “1 never have expressed
any doubts as to hi» sanity, ” says Air.
Corkhill; "my connection with the
trial is over. I have nothing further,
to do with tho man, either ns to the
hanging or as to the disposition of
the body.. If such an exaroinaiion is
made, it will be without any reference
to the question of determining his
sanity. Some eminent inodicaj men
have written to mo suggesting sttch n
course should be taken, and the only
reply 1 have made is that I have no
nutfril over Giiitoau alive or dead. I
have’never made a suggestion that he
should be made the subject of uu au
topsy.”

George was a good boy. He was
always willing to take good advice.—
The teacher told him one day that he
should nvoid the appearance of evil.
George remembered this. When he
stole farmer Clover's apples that night
lie saved all the cores and dropped
them in front of Dick Blatherskite's
yard. Dick was a bad boy nnd got
puuisbed for stealing farmer Clover’s
apples, but George avoided the ap
pearance of evil. He ate the apples.
The good me always rewarded iu this
world aud the bnd punished.
A lecturer was once iu a dilemma
which he iyill probably never forget.
While talking ubout art he ventured
the assertion: “Art can never improve
nature!” At that moment some one
tho audience cried out in a gruff
voice: “Can’t he? Well; tbcD, how
do you think you would look without
your wig ?” .' .
“What made the mule kick you ?”
they asked of a gentleman who had
been Hying through the roof of a bam.
