places we could easily walk over the low
bushes, and also upon getting above the line
of tall trees it was found an easy matter to
travel over the belt of stunted, scrubby trees
which surrounds the mountain and marks
the limit of arb0rescent growth. These
trees are so thick that in summer they form
impenetrable barriers, compelling the pedes-
trian to keep to the railway track. or TO the
old Fdbyau bride path Farther on, the
rocks are for the most part covered with
snow, the creyiccs being filled so completely
that there are few Irregularities in the sur
face. In short the rough places are made
sm0Oth-in not few instances trife too
smooth-tOr the way Is at some points very
steep. In a few places the snow lies drIlted
over the railway, but along the line of high
tTcstle work at Jacobs Ladder, and for the
most part above the snow had blown from
the top, Sd that easy locomOtion was found
for some of Us over the slecpeTs. Before we
had reached the Waumbcck junction, a
slight snow squall struck US, and we could
see that there was a storm in the neighbor
hood Of the North. This, however, was ma
impedimcnt to cur onward progress As we
had ,ccaslOn to rest quite frequently, we had
ample opportunity 10 stop and admire the
glorious panorama which was gradually un-
folded behind us. After getting above Ja-
cob's Ladder we found thar he wind which
was blowing from the south or southwest,

A DUELLING INCIDENT.-An indiscreet
gentleman who had given offense to a
young lady in Louisville. Kentucky, a
few days since. was challenged by the
that-is-to-be husband of the insulted.
When the challenged party was reading
the invitation to go out and be shot, his
little daughter came up and said: Papa,
ma wants your The father then turned
to the challenge bearer and said, "this is
my little girl, whose happiness and educa-
ton and living would be taken from her
were to be killed. / have also wife and
baby whose welfare must look to. This
meeting, if fatal to me, would deprive
them of their only support. My opponent
is young man, without wife or children
or family, He has little to lose." The
challenge bearer was almost melted to
tears. The picture just drawn was true to
life, and he determined to return to his
principal and ask for compromise, The
latter was a high-toned chivalrous, Ken
lucky gentleman, whose heart ut once re-
sponded to the appeal for mercy. A COM
promise was effected. 1t was agreed that
the duel should be postponed till the first
party got married and became the father
of children. Then they will both be on an
equal footing and can test each others
courage,
