A NiglrfIntl,e snow

The narrow gauge road beyond
the divide WAS severely bloctiadcd
b TIC storm on Thursday night
and Friday morning, and the re
turn trip of Frank Hodges train,
Friday, consumed nearly eighteen

came through, we gather the follow.
ing particulars:
Tho train left Colorado Springs
at $40 Friday morning, having
been delayed ON the downward trip
By snow drifts in the cuts beyond
tie divide. Col. Borsl, division
aapcrintcdcnt. was on board, and
,clegraphcd fjr an extra engine TO
meet the train rs soon rs possible
A force Of track hands armed with
shovels accompanied the train. and
by dint of active and pcrsiSten;
shovclling, about nineteen miles
was accomplished before dark
when it was found necessary to
sound a retreat for tho purpose of
securing water for the gallant lit
tie engine. B 1t for this mishap the
train might have gained the sum
nit of the divide in an hour or two
at farthcst, but the ferco wind, that
never ceased to blow, dri!ted snow
back into the cuts again, and tn,

4 California Pier.

The Central Pacific Railroad has erect
ed at Oakland, on the east side of San
Francisco Bay, wharf, II, 900 feet long,
running out to a depth of "A feet at low
tide, and of 81 feet at high tide, having
twelve railroad tracks upon its last l,oOC
feet, wide carriage way, passenger
depot and railroad offices, warehouses,
and outside storage for 10000 tons OF
grain or other merchandise, and three

space for five of the largest steamers or
clippers afloat The extreme end of the
main wharf is only three miles from the
foot of Second street, where freight is
landed in San Francisco, and is less than
two and half miles from the foot of
Pacific street, where passengers are set
down. The piles used, where the water
deepens, are Go feet long, and are AZ to

An Old Outlet to Lake Superior.

Prof. Winchell, of Michigan Univer
sity, has charge of the State Geological
Survey also, and in his report says:
In connection with post-tertiary phe-
nomena, have to call your attention to
the discovery of an outlet of Lake Supe
rior, through the valley of the Au Train
and Whitetsh rivers, into Litle Bay dc
Nocquet and Green Bay of Lake Michi-
gan A deep and buff lined valley, most
ly with a limestone bottom, extends
across the interval between Lake Supe-
rior and Little Bay de Nocquet, and the
summit elevation between the two lakes
is inconsiderable. 1t may easily be
that this elevation is such as to justify
the project of Il ship canal across the di-
vide, with the view of shortening the
voyage between the ports on Lake Su-
perior and those on Lake Michigan.
The Au Train river, from its mouth for
the distance of ten miles, has a current
of four miles an hour The stream is
thirty to seventyfve feet in width, and
one half to four feet in depth. Ten
miles up it becomes walled in between
cliffs of sandstone, and here is . fall of
forty feet Two miles above this is all
other fall of ninety-fve feet from the
summit level of the divide between the
two lakes The facilities for lockage are
such that l think the State should at
least place itself in possession of official
information respecting this route ; and |
should be glad to be instructed to incur
the moderate expense of running line
of levels over it from lake to lake.

me ON the shoulder.

Roche has often been to my rooms, and

"Bravop' cries Miss Linton, clanping
her hands. "Now ] know ; you went
t1iere with Crumms."
"Went where 2" asks Roche, in surprise,
"To the Domvilles'," she answers. "Mr.
Herbert was there with Orumms waiting.
Now, weren't you ~ she asks turning to
me.
So, driven up in corner, at last make
my confession.
"What fun y she says. "Wou't Augh

Except when you took me Tor II waiter,

ma of course | don't know; if she did
laugh at her, Mrs Linton must have taken
it very good -naturedly, for when go up
stairs after supper, she calls me Mr.
Waiter" and the name sticks TO me the
rest of the evening. Just as we all are
leaving, she comes to me and invites me to
party.at her house in the following week.
"How shall come, Miss Linton ~ ]
ask, rs | put on her cloak 'as waiter OF
guest ~
"ln the capacity you think suits you
best,n she answers. Then she adds more
softly, I'VE shall be glad to see you ID
either"
There is n further note in my dairy
something about Miss Linton-which per-
haps it will be as well to let remain
private. But about two years afterward,
and not so very long ago, there was we'd
ding breakfast given at the Domvilles'.
Crumms was there to wait, and Crumms,
feelings had overpowered him, and required
soothing. From being usually calm,
Crumms became unusually excited, and
was with difficulty prevented from solemn
ly blessing the happy couple and making a
speech to the effect that the Joyous occa
sion was brought about by him taking the
bridegroom out waiting on a certain day.

AN INCIDENT similar to one which has
frequently been introduced in fiction and
on the stage with excellent effect occurr-
ed in real life the other day. a lawyer
in Providence r. l., was, on behalf of
the rightfui heirs OF. an estate, contesting
a will which he believed to have been
forged His clients were confident Of
the justice of their claims but the in
strrlment was apparently all correct, and
the prospect Of setting it aside looked
very dubious. The pretended will was
written under the date of 1850, and bore
the stamp, a. p. Co.-Superfine." No
paper but that of the Agawam Company
of Mittineague bears this mark. The
lawyer conceived the idea of writing to
the officials of the Agawam Company for
information in regard to the paper. and
had the satisfaction of learning that
their first paper with that stamp was
made and sold in 1cG0, which proved that
the fraudulent win must have been writ
ten at least five years after its date. OF
course this discovery settled the matter.
