MAJOR OSBORNE, of the New Haven
Register, now among the White Mountains
gives quite notion of the steep grade Of
the pony road up Mount Washington in this
anecdote; A hartford friend, whose hui
NOR it would be difficult to Hyde A. P)
under any circumstances, was coming down
the decliyity, with every indication that he
was about to slide over the horses neck.
Looking back, the guide hailed him, All
right up there, Mr.. H?' Perhaps so, was
the reply, it all depends on the tenacity of
the animals tail fit wavers an inch, I'm
over the precipice "
THE Inlparcial, a newspaper of Madrid,
says that the American Minister has not
sent any note to the Spanish Government
pointing out the probability of the recogni-
zion Of the Cuban insurgents by Gen. Grant
under the pressure of public opinion; but
that what General Sickles has said is this
that the ilibusters have made immense
progress in gaining American sympathy,
and they DO not relax their Efforts to obtain
recognition for the Cubans. Well, this is
something; but we expect soon to hear that
General Sickles has been speaking little
closer to the main question, and to some
purpose.
On Saturday shocking accident occurred
near Bucyrus, Ohio. As an eastward bound
train on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railway was approaching the sta
ton, an elderly lady and gentleman, whose
names our informant could not ascertain,
attempted to drive across tie track. The
vehicle was struck BY the engine and shiy-
cred to atoms. The lady was instantly kill
ed, and the gentleman was frightfully man
gled He was alive when taken up, but it
was thought impossible for him to live ma
ny hours. No blame was attached to the
officers Of the train, as the proper signals I
were given before reaching the crossing.
TENDERNESS. may talk, says Net
tleton, of the best means of doing good, but /
after all, the greatest difficulty lies in doing
it in proper spirit. Speaking the truth in |
love, in meekness instructing those that op-
pose themselves with the meekness and
gentleness of Christ | have known anx-
ious sinners drop the subject Of religion in
consequence of preacher addressing them
in angry tones. Il never was fit, says
Payson, ''to say word to a sinner, except /
when [ had a broken heart myself, when | .
was subdued and melted into tenderness,
and felt as though had just received par
don to my own soul, and when my heart
was full of tenderness.
How LONG DID TIE MINERS LvE?-A
great many opinions have been given on the I
probable length of time which the imprison-
ed men lived after the fire in the shaft broke F.
out at nine o'clock Monday morning at
Avondale Some people believed the ques-
ton was entirely set at rest by the finding Of
several dinner and water cans full from
which fact it was inferred death resulted be- /.
fore twelve clock, noon, the time when the
men are accustomed to take their dinner. /
This theory is plausible enough; but then it
is by no means hard TO believe that when
the miners discovered the dreadful nature of /
their situation a thought Of Giancr and din
ner cans fed from their minds; and had they /
lived for twenty-four hours it is not unrea-
sonable to think the same indifference to /
food would have continued Anybody who
has been amid the dangers Oft battlefield /
will readily recognize this feeling.
TIGHT SHOES. The most casual observer
cannot fail to notice the contortions of many /
young ladies when promenading the streets,
caused by the pain they suffer from wearing
tight shoes. The waist they may squeeze, j
and in time will get used to the compression,
but the feet are fitted with delicate machin- /
cry that win not bear being bound too tight
ly, without retaliating by causing proper
tional suffering. When young lady is gin
gerly walking with sort of higgle-depiggle- I
dy motion, as though she were perpetually /
about to take a scat, and as often changing I
her mind, she is generally supposed to be
suffering from a severe stread Of Grecian /
Bend, but in fully half the instances noticed
there viii be look of intense pain on the I
face, the reflection of the torture suffered By /
trying to appear to have small feet The /
best remedy is to let such folks keep so do
ing, as ina short time the wearer Of tight 4
boots viii be blest with crop Of eorns, the
tenderness of which will certainly change
the opinions Of the wearer as to the propri-
ETY. Of having the feet comfortably clad
TERRIBLE CoNDTToN OF SpAIN.-The I
correspondent of the Pal Nall Gazette, who /
writes from Barcelona, declares that the
Spaniards are utterly disgusted with their
system of justice, aud win remedy it, if no |
other remedyis obtainable, by Lynch law.
Even criminal justice is corrupt, men ling
