THE Snow PROBLEM ON THE PACIFIC
RA1LRoAD.-It was reported last winter that
the sheds built by the Pacific Railroad Com
pany to protect their track from the deep
SHOWS Of the Sierra Nevada mountains, were
crushed by the weight Of snow that fell upon
them, and that some other method ofprotec-
ton would have to be devised. 1t seems,
however, by letter in the San Francisco
Bulletin, that this plan Of shielding the
track has not been abandoned. The compa-
ny are now engaged in erecting sheds over
the cuttings and other exposed points. They
are Of heavy timber framework, with point
ed gable roofs, and look as if they could
Withstand almost any pressure Of snow
Nearly forty miles Of the track will have to
be thus covered, and the quantity of timber
required will be enormous. Not less than
% saw mills, most Of them worked by steam,
are run night and day, employing nearly
1900 men, and yet they do not work up to
the needs of the company. In few weeks
% mills will be running It is estimated
that it will require no less than 800, 900 feet
of lumber to construct mile Of sheds. So
great is the demand, that the country on
both sides Of the track is being rapidly de-
nuded of it's forests.

A "Reminiscences Of Henry Clay.

The San Francisco Bulletin says: "a
distinguished citizen Of San Francisco, who

older States as long ago as l842, and who
was that year a messmate of Henry Clay IN
Washington, is in possession Of memoran-
dunn, in Mr.. Clay's writing, which curious
ly illustrates his neatness and precision in
the minor affairs of life. It is simply a pro-
gramme for the cook to follow, which was
written rapidly, of-hand, in very neat char
acters and endorsed, H. Clay's mem. for

Mrs. C. G. Clay and President johnson.

A correspondent of the Louisville Courier
gives the following anecdote of Mr.. john
son, which, he says, has never been in print,
and is too good to be lost
While G. G. Clay, of Alabama, WAS con-
fued at Fortress Monroe, Mrs Clay wrote
to gentleman of considerable national
prominence, requesting him to call upon the
president and learn if there existed any pos
sibility of obtaining the release of Mr. G.
upon bail, Or by the adoption of any other
expedient. Gen - approached Mr.. John
son upon the subject, but was speedily con-
WINGED that any exertion he might make
must be unavailing, and so advised Mrs.
Clay, urging her at the same time to visit
Washington city herself, as he was satisfied
that her personal solicitation would be more
efficacious in obtaining The accomplishment
of her wishes than the intervention of anv
third party. gt,
Mrs: Clay acted upon the suggestion,
went to the capital and acquainted the Pres
ident with the object of her visit Mr.. JOHN
son received her with great cordiality, lis
tened with the utmost attention to her state
ment, but expressed his great regret that it
was impossible for hun to take any steps
looking toward the relief of political prison
ers just at that time, but hoped that affairs
would soon be in such condition as would
enable him to liberate them all. The inter-
view closed by Mr.. johnson requesting Mrs.
clay to call frequently and pay him purely
social visit During one of the many visits
arising from this invitation, when the Presi-
dent appeared to have entirely forgotten the
cares of State in the delights of social enjoy
ment Mrs. G., suddenly pointing to a bust
Of Lincoln upon table near by, asked -
"Mr. President, whose bust is that ?"
fWhy, MIR. Lincoln's; don't you rccog-
nize it 2" a
"Well, Mr.: President; tell me-, Mr..
Lincoln living or was he killed 2" .-.v-
"Why dear, Of course he was assassinated
as every one knows. Why do you make so
singular an inquiry %
Simply because | wished to know what
ltve President was doing with a dead ones
Cabinet"
Mr.. johnson smiled, and leaning over to-
ward his fair interlocutor, said, t'Ah, my
child, I have lived long enough in the world
of politics to learn not to attempt to strike
till | get in striking distance ~ ...,..

Fun FOR THE PAR1oR.-The Richmond
Wing says that a new and prolific source Of
amusement has just been introduced in that
city. It consists in making kaleidoscope
of the lid of a piano, and is easily DONE
That part of the lid which folds over the
keys is turned back to an angle, and prop
ped at the centre with book of correspon-
ding inclination 50 that the polished plane
Of the piano, the inclined lid and book, will
together form the figure Of a triangle. The
piano cover is then thrown over the lid, and
the kaleidoscope is made. Any object held
at one end will, when viewed from the 9TH
end, present itself in a variety Of fantastic
positions and shapes. The effect is curious
and diverting, and may be heightened by a
rotary motion of the object looked at. A
bouquet, piece ofembroidery, or anything
Of the kind can be used A candle must be
placed on stand near the end ofthe piano,
at which the objects are shown, but the can
die is not visible through the triangle

New FACTS FOR DEMOCRATS. Presi-
Dental election Of 1864, Mr.. Lincoln, by
suppressng the soldiers vote cast for Gen
eral Mcclellan and by throwing into the
Western States several thousand New Eng
land soldiers who voted for him, (most Of
them voting five Or six times, managed to
obtain a majority on the popular vote of
AL, 1881. ae l7@a
At the last general elections in the same
States the Republican majority was only 49,
$40, including Illinois and Indiana, which
have not held general election since the
fall Of 1865. and crediting Ohio with Re
publican majority of 1888, which was OBJ
tanned by the republican candidate for Gov
ernor, though at the same election the Dem
ocrats defeated negro suffrage by $4,000
majority and elected a majority Of the mem
bers of the Legislature
In 1864 the change Of 205,641 votes
would have elected General Mcclellan over
Mr.. Lincoln; in 1868 it requires the change
Of but 23,456 votes to give to Horatio
Seymour the electoral votes of the States
which were carried by Mr.. Lincoln
In the face Of these figures is not the cleo
ton Of Seymour and Bair as certain as Is

BLIND AN old man, whose sight was
defective and who had to use glasses, was
reading newspaper on the train between
Wheeling, Va, and Washington, a few days
ago. When the cars reached the first tun-
mel the quick disappearance of the light
caused him to look up. Taking offhis spec
tacles and wiping them, he replaced them
and again tried to read. Perceiving that
all was still dark, he dropped both paper and
spectacles, exclaiming in loud voice, my
God. I'm blind, Pm blindn p This aroused
the passengers, and it was long time be-
fore he could be convinced what was the
matter. On coming again to sight he
thanked God fervently for his sight.

astonisbment to find himself recognized.
Thereupon the ferryman drew from his
pocket and commenced counting out gold
pieces:
II have made five hundred dollars by fer
rying passengers; here are three hundred Of
them for you. You can pay me when you
are flush, or if that don't happen, all right.
When I was little boy and my mother a
poor widow, many time did your father

SMILE AND BE COMMENTED.

The world grows old, and men grow cold,
To each while seeking treasure,
And what with want, and cares and toll
We scarce have time for pleasure;
But never mind, that is a loss
Not much to be lamented; rl
Life rolls gaily, if we will
But smile and be contented.
If we are poor, and would be rich,
1t will not be by pining;
No; steady hearts and hopeful minds
Are lifes bright silvery lining.
There's never a man that dared to hope
Hath of his choice repented;
The happiest souls on earth are those
Who smile and be contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
And fortune bids us sorrow,
From hope we may a blessing read,
And consolation borrow.
If thorns may rise and roses bloom,
1t cannot be prevented
So make the best of>life you can,
And smile and be eontented.

Fasting Fasting has been frequently
recommended and practised as a means Of
removing incipient diseases, and Of restoring
the body to its customary healthful sensation.
Howard, the celebrated philanthropist, used
to fast one day in the week. Franklin for a
period did the same. Napoleon, when he
felt his system unstrung, suspended his
wonted repast, and took exercise on horse
back. The list of distinguished names might,
if necessary, be increased but why adduce
authority in favor of practice which the in
stinct Of the brute creation leads them to
adopt whenever they are sick ? Happily for
them they have no meddling prompters in
the shape of well-meaning friends to force
stomach already enfeebled, and loathing its
customary food. to digest this or that delica-
cy-soup, jelly, custard, chocolate, and the
like. ~ p Cd. t ~ 81
