MUNCUAUSEN OUTDONE.-A Cal
itornia paper gives a rather hard-to
believe story of the depth of snow
on the Sierra Nevada mountains il
February and March, by describing
the visit ola merchant named Adams
from the valley to the mining town
Of Meadow Lake, to the top of the
mountains:
He procured a pair of snow shoes.
and took the tracks Of some who had
gone over the day before. After
some hours of hard travel he arrived
where the town should be, but not a
house was visible. While he was
looking around. a man suddenly
came up out of the snow. like q mer-
maid out of the sea. Adams asked
the man if he gould tell him where
Meadow Lake was, not knowing as
yet whether the object before him
was man or spirit. "Why." said
the fellow. d" you are right on the
place" Adams asked him if he
could tell him where the store of
Adams & John was. "Oh, Yes!
come along" A few shoves on a
pair of snow shoes soon brought
them TO a round hole in the snow.
and Adams was told that that was
the hole which led to the store
There were stairs made in the snow
like a spiral way, twisting several
times around the hole in making the
descent. Finally he arrived at the
bottom. and was astonished to find
his friends there; happy and gay,
and ready to vouch for the country
being one of the richest ever diScov-
cred. From the store they went over
thetown through tunnels. Every one
seemed to be contented with his lot.
The citizens seldom go to the top of
the snow, except when there is new
snow shoe race, at which time the
whole town turns out.

Southern Destitution-Reiief from Congress.
The prompt action Of Congress in passing
joint resolution appropriating one million
dollars for the relief Of the people in the
South, loyal and disloyal alike, will be cor
daily approved throughout the whole country.
1t is not merely want in its ordinary forms that
exists at the South; it is starvation. The oper-
ations of private charity are too slow for the
present emergency. The relief must be instant;
for it is now case Of life and death in most Of
the Southern States. The appropriation Of a
million by Congress, then, comes in good time,
and we trust that there will be no delay or un-
necessary machinery in expending it. Apart
from the question of humanity involved in the
measure, it is an excellent stroke of policy,
which will 60 great way to show even the
most stubborn minds in the South that Con-
gress is not disposed to treat them with that
harshness which some Of the leaders and news
papers represent.
