The White Mountains in Winter.

A correspondent OF the Boston Transcript
writes from North Conway, under date of
the 10th inst:
''Of course the oldest inhabitant' hardly
remembers a winter of such mildness as
this. 1t has. in fact, been a most remarka-
BILE one, but not unprecedented. Snow
storms have been plenty, but have almost
invariably terminated with rain, skimming
the snow over with q thin coating of ice,
thus preventing the drifting by the north
west winds There has been an average of
eighteen inches on the grolud since the
first of December, and capital sleighing
and shedding it has made, too. Occasion
ally the mercury has gone below zero, on
bright sparkling, frosty mornings, and
when all nature was glittering in the first
light of the coming sun, it seemed a type
of the perfection of the New England
winter climate in its joyous and most ex-
hilerating form.
''Since February came in, the mercury
has indicated eighteen below. Maple trees
were tapped during the month of January,
and the sap ran as freely as it does ordina-
rily in March and April. Sometimes when
the rains were heavy and the succeeding
cold sharp, what q wonderful coasting-
ground was formed on every hillside One
could run about everywhere on the polished
icy floor.
"Ot course, the mountains are grand in
heir winter dress, quite as much so
as In summer, and offer at times even more
striking and beautiful pictures. The sun
rises and sunsets are especially fine. and IL
Is worth journey here to see the lofty
SUBMITS flushing with crimson and purple
and gold.
''But must pause to record an event
that has sent grief and mourning to every
family In this valley. Many of the sum-
mer visitors here will remember with plea
sure their relations with the physician of
the place-Dr. Dame. They will remem.
Der his gentlemsnly bearing and modest.
retiring manner, his clear Judgment and
easily won sympathy, and will learn with
regret his sudden death. 1t is indeed al
most surprising to find now what q hold
he had upon the affections of the inhabi-
tants of this valley, and yet not surprising
when We come to discover how nobly he
had earned that love. During period of
fifteen years he has practised within a
range of twenty-five to thirty miles, being
the only physician for that largo extent of
territory"

" Oh, mother. said little Bennie.

Some beautiful night before Christmas,
When am grown-up man,

For I'll own grand balloon.

Then III walk with the angel-children
In the starry gardens bright;
Stars are their flowers; I'll ask for some
Just budding into light
The lovely one will hand me a moon
From on the cloudy bars,
And the sngel-children joyously pluck
cluster Of wakening stars.

You will wonder to see

It's chastened light shall spread.
And little star from every bough
Its twinkling beams shall shed.
" Wen call crowd Of children then
To come and feast their eyes
On the glorious things, the while tell
OF my journey to the skies.
" But I'll say. These stars are less bright thar

Because they were plucked too soon.
And you scarce would guess Of the glory there
By this pale worn-out moon.

CAPTURE OF 800 WHALKs.-The Lerwick
correspondent of the Scotsman, writing on
the 11th, says:
Gas some fishermen in the neighborhood
of Scalloway were going to the sea this
morning, they fell in with some whales,
which they endeavored to drive to land.
They were soon joined by some boats be-
longing to the West Isles, and in short
time they succeeded in driving the whales
to the East Voc of Scalloway, where nearly
800 were captured before dark. Il was ex-
pected that the whole would be shot or
driven ashore before morning, the moon
light being favorable The property where
they were stranded belo., to Mr.. Hay.
The place is well adapted 20 the capture of
whales, but it is very unusual for any to ap-
pear there, and also unusual for whales to
be seen at this time of year; butt is fortu-
nate for the poor people in the district that
they have come"

CHINESE AS DIseovERERs.-Th visits of
the Northmen to the American continent
have long been a subject of controversy
and speculation, but now Mr.. j. Hauley,
Chinese interpreter in San Francisco, at
tributes the discovery of America to the
Celestials, finds resemblance between the
inhabitants of Central aud South America
and the Chinese, and traces a similarity in
the religion of the Aztecs and Buddhism.
He says the discovery by the Chinese was
first made !, 40c years ago, the land being
called Fosany; and that 500 years ago some
Buddhist priests visited the country and
carried back to China the news that they
had found Buddhist idols and religious
writings John Chinaman has been long
time in taking anything like possession of
bis own. and he may find some difficulty
now in effacing from most peoples minds
the well impressed formula that Columbus
discovered America

New Tricks Performed by the Lately
Arrived Troupe Of Japanese Jug.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
The Royal Satsuma troupe of Japanese
artists made their Introductory bow to
San Francisco audience last night The
fame of this company, as acrobats, Jug
glers, and equilibrists attracted large au-
diepcs to the theatre. The performance
opened with contortion and ab-bending
by plump little fellow, about years OF
age, whose grace. agility and good nature
fairly captured the house. Then cams the
tub and ladder tricks. with little s'All
Right" as tho principal feature. A
skillfui prestidigitator swallowed q
pipe while it was lighted, or at
tempted to make the audience
believe he accomplished the feat, and SUBJ
sequently drew it from his clothes. He
also performed interesting tricks with eggs,
tops. ribbons, DC. The most startling trick
in this line was the pretended swallowing
of needles, one by one, and then drawing
them from the mouth on o long string.
This was the only act where solos on the
barbarous Japanese fiddle were introduced,
and after the novelty of this sound wears
off it can well be spared. The slack rope
and wire acts were performed very accept
ably by the young woman, who succeeded
in putting on dress without the aid of an
umbrella in balancing. In the hanging
pole trick slender lad displayed skill
and strength to remarkable de-
gree, and set the laws of gravitation at
defiance with the utmost equanimity. The
Oriental Hercules has jaws that would prove
a sure fortune to hotel runner. A man.
moth tub with a small boy standing upon
the rim, is placed near him, forming load
that two men find difficulty in managing
when he stoops down, sezies the tub with
his teeth, and raises it high in the air. In
the closing scene, little girl, apparently
five years Of age, is placed upon the pin
nacle of a series of blocks. having barely
room to stand. She bends q crab, puts
her head between her feet, toward the
audience, and her clothes are SO arranged
that they give her the appearance of q but
terhy. Take it all in all, the entertainment
is novel and interesting. and merits sue
cess.

doctors of that region round about She
was obliged to take to her bed at once, and
in an instance, as it were, became reduced
to almost a skeleton. What little flesh did
remain with her, became ivid and cadiver-
GUS. For seven long years she never rose
from that bed once. Her disease created
peculiar appetite. She ate but very
little and seemed to receive
the most of her sustenance from a
hot pot of milk, boil.d at midnight, each
night. Her husband, who was q patient
creature, used to get up every night, win

years. and boil that pct of milk and give
it to her. One night, the last time he had
to do it, he got up to boil the pot of milk
and was just in the act of raking out the
smothered turf to blow it up into the nee

death, he crawled Huder the bed and spilled
the milk over the floor. He remained un-
der the bed until morning. when he crawl

of his imps.
At first he was afraid to look at the bed,
lest he should see his wife lying there
strangled by the fiend, but he did muster
courage, and look when, wonderful to re-

get that pot of hot milk on that evsntful
night broke the spell and the fairy was

FEMALE lNTEMPERANCE IN LoSDoS.-A
London coroner gives sad account of the
doings of English ladies of the higher
classes. At a recent inquest he declared
that downright intempersnce was one of
their common and bese ting vices. he
knew, he said numberiess instances where
these ladies never sat down to dinner, in
their own houses or elsewhere, until they
had brought themselves to a state Of almost
inebrie,v hy frequent drams during the day.
Some. he said. resorted to ether or eau de
Coloons. or supiry new chemical stimulants.
while other, brought themselves up to
company lark by means of the sherry de.
-canter or brandy bettls. These are hard
things to say, but the coroner did not mlnce
the matter at all, aud said that the evil had
assumed such magnitude that it was time
for somebody to speak out OF course his
boldness has brought all the hornets of the
press about his head, but il is TO be feared
that there is too much truth in his state
ments.

The Dedham Patriot says that marriage
once took place at Canton. Mass, under
the following circumstances: The bride
groom, when quite a small boy. ran away
from his parents, who lived in Lower Can
ada. In process of time the father died.
the mother married again. and the fruits of
tliis union were several daughters. The
daughters grew up, and the parents having
no means to support them, they went to
work in factories. One strayed to Canton
factory. where, by a fortuitous circumstance
the runaway happened to be at work. lie
soon became acquainted with this girl, and
before full history of each others origin
was developed married her. In few days
il was ascertained that they both had one
mother. This, of course, greatly confused
both parties. from which arose strong con-
scientious scruples as TO the propristy of
brother and sister living together in state
of matrimony; and upon mature considera-
tion they resolved mutually to dissolve
their connection as man and wife.
