Snow in the Sierra Nevadas-
Great Loss OfLife.

The following is an extract from a letter
written March 9th, on the top Of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, by one of the officers
in the employ Of the Pacific Railroad Com
panys
"FOT some weeks past I have been sta
toned in the Sierra Nevadas, in charge of
the engineering of some tunnels that are
being constructed very near the summit.
We are completely environed by snow. I
doubt if the oldest inhabitants of Califor-
MIA realized until lately the full extent of
the srow fall in those mountains.
"TEe widest stories have heard are no
eEaggeTations. My snow guage, a few
days ego, showed 10 feet 4 inches on a per-
feet level. have seen places near the wagon
road where it is piled up more than so feet.
Avafsnches, or snow slides, are frequent
and fatal. In one case camp of China
men was covered up, and seventeen of
them killed. At another time the snow
came down on camp of white men while
they were asleep. Eleven Of them were
buried fourteen hours, and afterward dug
out alive; three were killed. Many other,
though less extensive, accidents have Oc-
Cured. It seems strange to be surrounded
by this condition of things, when I know
that in five hours time may be in the
Sacramento valley where spring is in full
bloom, and wheat Is growing III the fields
waist high.

CPeup.

We copy an elaborate article on this
disease, which we commend to tLs
special consideration Of mothers. 1t
is from Hall's Journal of HEALTH and
may be read with advantage:
Group seldom comes en- suddenly
Generally it has at first no other symp<
toms than those Of the common cold,
but the very moment the child is seen
to carry its hands towards the throat
indicating discomfort there, it should
be considered an attack of Group, and
should be treated accordingly. When
a child is sick Of anything no physi-
| clan can tell where that sickness will
end. So it is with cold it may ap-
pear to be a very slight one indeed,
still It may end fatally in Group, putrid
sore throat, or diphtheria. The mo-
ment a mother observes crOupy symp-
toms in a child from two TO eight
years, the. especially crOupy age, she
should keep the child in her own room,
by her own side day and night, not al-
lowing it for moment to go outside
the door, keeping it comfortably warm,
| so shat no chillfness or draft ofair shall
come over it. Light food should be-
eaten, no meats or hot bread or berries,
The whole body, the feet especially,
should be kept warm all the time
Rubbing twenty drops Of sweet oil in
to the skin over the left breast patient.
| ly with the hand, two or three times,
or more. times, a day, often gives the
most marked relief in a cold, thus pre-
venting Group. Such a course prompt
I ly pursued will promptly cure almost
any cold child will take, and seldom
fails to ward off effectuaIly in a day or
two what would otherwise have been
fatal attack Of Group, with its ring
ling; kissing, barking sound, and its
uneasy, oppressive and labOred breath.
/ ing, none Of which can ever be mis-
taken When once heard. Many a
sweet child is lost thus; the parents
are aroused at dead of night with a
cough that suggests Group; but it seems
to pass off, and in the morning they
wake up with a feeling of thankful
Ideliverance from a bOding i'll. The
child runs about all day as if perfectly
well but the next night the symp-
! toms are more decided, and on the
next night the child dies; but this
would have been averted with great GER
tainty if from the first night the child
had been kept in a warm room, warm
ly clad, if the bowels had been kept
free, and noting had been eaten but
little toast with tea or cruel or stewed
fruits.

WHoGEsONENEss OF APPLEs.-Raw
mellow apples are digested in an hour
and half, while boiled cabbage re
quires five hours. The most heaIthfuI
dessert that can be placed on the table
is baked apple. If eaten frequently
at breakfast, with coarse bread and but
ter, without meat or flesh of any kind
it has an admirable effect on the gener.
al system, often removing constipation

The Toledo Blade thus illustrates
one of the difficulties to be encounter
ed by the Chivalry in securing the
votes of their late chattels:
GA Rebel lawyer of Richmond, Vir-
ginia, in an attempt to win the suf-
frages of the colored voters OF that vi
Ginage, affectionately assured them, in
a public speech, that 'he had colored
nanny when he was a child, and
that he loved the colored people, as
they must know But he didn't tell
them, nor was it necessary for the col
ored people to understand it, that, af-
ter bad run of Luck at faro, that very
'ma1my,' so beloved, was sod by
him to furnish the sinews of war for
another buck at the tiger. They are
laying it on too thick. The backs of
the audience addressed by the Rich
mond lawyer have not yet had time
to heal and every one of them had
either been upon the auctiOn-blOck or
seen his relatives there"

Of Booths diary, a Washington dis
patch says: The diary of Booth, con-
cerning which 80 much has been said
Of late, is asmaII pocket memorandum
book in which are entries concerning
a variety of subjects. It contains ac-
counts of expenses ; entries of social
visits, and statements Of various matt
tiers concerning his fight after the as
sassinatiUn. 1t contains a description
of his terrible condition, the Friday
subsequent to Mr.. Lincoln's death, be-
ing then, with a broken leg, alone and
an Outcast in the Potomac swan1ps ;
and this is evidently written in a per-
feet agony Of feeling. The missing
pages may have been torn out by
Booth on various occasions, or cut out
by some of the soldiers through whose
hands it passed, or, as Butler believes,
removed by some one in high execu-
tive circles.

The DgmOcratic Party,

Harper's Weekly gives its opinion
of the Democratic party in the follow.
ing vigorous manner:
"The Democratic party is not able
to understand that there has been a
revolution. Stupid as the Bourbons
and infatuated as the Jacobites, it de-
votes all its energy to decorating the
body and Initiating thelung ola corpse.
Instead of watching the course of the
revolution in public sentiment and the
national condition, and sagaciously
adapting itself to the change, it hopes
to rescue a shred of State sovereignty
and at least a single slave whip from
the rushing current. 1t is merely the
Tory party Of the old revolution, with
out its intelligence or excuse. Nasby
ridicules it amidst the roaring laughter
of the country, and its Southern mas
ters reject it as a worn-out tool"

GooD SENSE IN THE SUUTH.-The
Meridian (Miss.) Chronicel gives the
following advice:
If we accept these provisions, not as
measures Of oppression and punish
ment, but as the inevitable results OF
the war, that the negroes shall have
the same political rights as the whites,
we may soon obtain representation in
Congress, and much will have been
done to relieve our people from the
dreadful consequences of the late re-
bell;On.
The endeavOr to evade these enact
ments by those who are now eligible
to vote, suIlenly refusing to register,
and deluding themselves with appeals
to the Supreme Court, may not only
signalIy fail to accomplish the desired
end, but will assuredIy increase the
number of disfranchised, bring upon
the country harsheT measures, and
most likely terminate in a general
confscation of Southern property.

A DUEL AND a FERCE.-A singu-
lar duel has just taken place at Berlin
between a ajourneyman siIversmith and
another artisan. The arms selected
were a bottle of sulphuric acid. The
arrangement was, that whichever of
the two adversaries threw the lowest
with dice should swallow the contents
of the fatal vial. Chance favored the
silversmith, who Immediately poured
out a glass of the liquor and handed it
to his adversary who unhesitatingIy
drank off the liquid, but to the aston
ishment cf his antagonist, instead of
falling seuseless, smacked his lips and
asked for another glass. The seconds
had acted on the sensible idea of sub
stitutihg arrack for the corrosive fluid.
It is hardly necessary to say that the
affair terminated in a reconciliation.

Observation-Disclosures months
ago the proposition of impartial suf.
frage was submitted to the people Of
Connecticut, and voted down by a
majority of over 5000. The cam
paign just closed was fought squarely
on that principle. The Republicans
were committed to it, from General
Hawley down to the humblest candi-
date for a county officer. The result
is a popular verdict against general
suffrage by less than a thousand. Five
thousand who voted against negro suf
frage in October, 1865, voted for can
didates pledged in favor Of it in April,
1867. The Democracy can put that
fact in their pipes and smoke it. Gin.

Alexander Lachane, living about thirty
miles below Quebec, has been arrested for
inhuman treatment of his child, a dumb
cripple six years old. The child Ia girl)
died lately and the cOroner's investigation
showed that its death was accelerated If
not caused by the orders of Lachane, who
habitually kicked it out of his sight, and
beat its mother for giving il food. During
the inquest the prisoner got into a warm
discussion with those present, maintaining
his right, if not to kill the child, at least TO
break ali it's bones if he saw fit to do so,
W 'EoUt the right Of molestation by any
person. The rOor little atom of humanity
was always kept out Of sight, in a box
slowed away under bed in the small, i'll
ventilated hOvel of its brutal parent and
whenever the father on coming home found
the starving child out of the black hole he
had allotted to it, he was in the habit of at
once kicking the box and its dumb inmate
under the bed out Of sight again.

the voting folks in his neighborhood
1t was a gay time, and in the course OF
the evening the boys and girls played

chanced that the son of the planter, a
nice, modest fellow, had to claim for
felt Of SOME Of the girls, but was over

John," said the planter, ,'fand kiss some

4 singular love affair has recently
occurred at Portland, Me. A lady 0.
very superior personal attractions, and
the wife of man of means had the
misfortune to fall violently in love
with a young man who is the ''soul o1
homer" and mighty good looking al
the same time. She was so carried
away by her passion as to almost Who'll
ly disregard the laws of proprietyj she
constantly placed herself in his way,
and finally secured an introduction,
but all without avail. Her advances
could not call forth the slightest re-
sponse. His GOODNESS only increased
her ardor, and she fairly haunted him.
Her husband finally became aware OF
the position of affairs, and as he loved
his wife devotedly, determined, instead
of treating her as she well deserved, to
win her from her singular attachment.
Their separation was the first move
ment to be secured. AS his business
would not permit of his leaving, over
lures were made to the honest, good
looking chap, who recently left that
city with $1,000 in greenbacks, as a
consideration for vacating.

Our cotemporary Kerr, of the Cler-
mont Sun, who ought, in justice to his
natural disposition, to spell his name
Cur, is snarling terribly and constantly
these times, in great alarm lest the Ie-
gal restriction shall be taken of, and
the colored men will become his
equals. We do confess that we think
his fears are based on good grounds,
for there would be danger, not only Of
their becoming his equals, but his su-
periors, if they have but half a chance.
