LUCKY BILLY.-The New York Tri-
dune says that the disaster of the Cen
rai America forms the fourth remarka-
bic escape that Billy Birch, of the San
Francisco Minstrels, has had from the
jaws of death. When he was a child
he fell from canal boat at the foot of
Morris street, and was dragged from the
water, apparently dead, by means of a
boat-hook. In 1912 lie was IN the Sta
ten Island ferry boat Sunbeam, when
her upper deck fell in undar the weight
of five hundred people, killing several
persons and manning and badly wound
ing others He was under the deck
when it fell. In 1850 he was a passen-
ger in the steamer Ohio from New Or
leans to New York, when she received
such injuries that all the passengers
were compelled to work the pumps for
several days to save her

- The Nevada Journd complains
of the delay experienced in the recep-
ton Of telegraphic news from the Bay,
and says it is caused by the greediness
Of one or two presses in Sacramento
The evil effects of this selfish monopoly
are widely felt. On the first intimation
of the important news brought last week
by the steamship PANAMA, we made rea-
dy to give it Immediately to our citi-
zens. Tire telegraph WIS in good work
ing order, but we could get no news
The monopolies at Sacramento must be
satisfied first. For nearly four hours
our door was besieged by eager, anxious
ctizens,-many of whom had friends on
the lost steamer. and could but impa-
tiently brook such needless suspense
waiting to know the worst of the woeful
story. We hope there will be no more
occasion for such complaiut.-Placer-

THE SILENCE OF AN ARCTIC NIGHT
The following eloquent description of
the silence Of an Arctic night occurs in
DIR. Hays lecture on the Arctic Regions.
We have, at least upon one occasion,
when eight or nine miles underground
il the Mammoth Cave, seemed to fcrl
the darkness, but we never imagined
that other negative attribute Of nature,
silence, could be so intense as to be heard.
Yet the Doctors description makes this
strange parody a reality. He says:
The moonlights of this period fwinter}
are the most grand and impressive of
anything | had ever witnessed. The
clearness of the air, the white surface of
the snow and ice give an effect monoto-
nous and cherries, but truly grand
But there is ncac element which makes
this mid-winter moonlight seem almost
terrible in itsimpressivencss-itiss ilence.
| have often, to escape the trying mo-
notony of shipboard life, gone off six or
eight miles into the interior in search of
novelty, and in order that | might be
alone. There, seated upon a rock or
snow-hank, | look around me and see a
great uneven country. rocky hills and
glaciers covered with snow, mvliads of
crystal gems sparkling in the light of
the pale moon, which shoots its rays
down through the crisp air, making ii as
light as day. look seaward and see a
long plain of ice, melting into the hori-
zon, dotted all over with huge towering
bergs-nothing more. All nature is in
the repose of death. | am too far from
the shore to hear the crunching of the
tables as they rise and fall laziIy with
the tide, or the roar like distant thunder
as some huge crack opens through the
heavy foes. There is oanilnal TO cross
my path, no tree among whose stiff
branches the wind can sigh aud moan.
There is no song Of bird to enliven the
scene, no wild beast to howl. | stand
there alone, the only preventative of
Gods living world-the only being that
has life or can move. Every sound that
l hear, every motion that | see, is made
by myself. | hear nothing but the pull
sations of my own heart, my own foot
steps, or now and then, possibly, in the
distance, the deep rumbling of a falling
snow-bank. The sensation Clutter lone
illness and isolation creep over me. My
heart beats as it rushes the blood thro'
the sensitive organization Of the ear l
am oppressed as with discordant sounds
Silence has ceased to be negative; it
has become ste'nly positive. hear,
see and feel it. Its presence is unen-
durable. | spring to my feet, plant
them heavily in the snow to drown its
presence, and | rush back to the vessel
glad even to find refuge in its dull, dull
life Of horrid inactivity.
