ANOTHER GALIFoRNIA WoNDER.-Atter
Yo Semitic, Lake Tahoe That the latter
takes second rank to Yo Semitic Is not, |
believe, denied by any one who has made
the tour of all of California : scenic attrac-
tions, Tahoe is the gem of lakes, both in
size and attractive mountain surroundings
1t is the largest lake in the world, | be-
lieve, at the same elevation. 1t is walled
by mountains on every side, which rise to
the attitudes Of two thousand five hundred
to three thousand five hundred feet above
the lake. and eight thousand FIVE hundred
to ten thousand feet above the sea. 1t has
an average depth of one thousand six hun
dred and eighty feet, and in one place
two thousand foot line failed to reach
bottom. Its waters have three distinct
colors, which are caused by varying depth.
Near the shore, in most places the color IS
pure emerald; further out 1t Is as deep
and beautiful a blue as the Pacific or
Mediterranean can boast Of while in a
portion of Emerald Bay and toward the
center of the lake-the places of greatest
depth-it Is almost Of an inky hue. Its
water Is as pure as any in the world. 1t
is used by photographers without any dis
tlIlatioh' process through Whlcn CITY wa
ter has always to pass ere it can be used in
photography. Pure as ether, almost as
thin as air, sparkling in the sun like the
purest diamonds, cold as ice, always re-
fecting in its pure bosom forest whiskered
and-covered mountains, and marvelously
clear tinted clouds-placed in a region
which seems ever sacred to solitude and
contemplation, where can a more magnit
cent place be found for enjoyment, rest
and recreation, both Of body and mind
The equability of the climate around the
lake is most remarkable The thermome-
ter rarely rises above eighty degrees or
descends below fifty degrees during any
portion of the day or night seventy de-
grees, about the average summer tempera-
ture, which is just about the true mean for
full climate comfort. A linen shirt is not

Twenty-six miles of streets are so occu-
pied 1t must be remembered that for
three months after the fire very little new
work was done. The winter impeded
operations somewhat, but the work went
on. Over all this district the derricks
stand up like the masts of shipping. In
the West Division, where 500 buildings
were destroyed, there will be this season
erected as many permanent buildings and
blocks of brick. stone and iron as in any
previous season were built In all Chicago.
The Chicago Tribune, from which we
gather some of these facts, adds that the
workmen have refused to strike that the
ordinary business of the city has been
that the deposits in the
savings banks have increased, since April,
nearly two millions of dollars and that
at no time has money for commercial or
business purposes been so scarce. This is
a most wonderful statement, and it forms
a splendid Illustration of the energy and
vigor of the American character.-E1-

shows how little things sometimes decide
the destiny Of nations. 1t was at the

in embryo and striving to gain a standing

pushed the claims of the bantling with very
poor success at first
But Hamilton and Barnby were resolute
and persevering, and Ministers so far
yielded to their persuasions as TO send out
an agent charged with the responsibility
of reporting upon the condition and pros
poets of the country after a personal ex-
animation. The gentleman selected was
a fine, dashing young fellow named Elliot,

How TO MEET DEATH-I never feel
pity for man dying, only for survivors, if
there be such passionately deploring him.
You see the pleasures the undersigned pro-
poses to himself here in future years, a
sight Of the Alps, holiday on the Rhine,
a ride in the park, colloquy with pleas
ant friends of an evening. If it Is death
to part with these delights and pleasures
they are, and no mistake,) sure the mind
can conceive others afterward and know
one small philosopher who is quite ready
10 give up these pleasures, quite content
(after pang or two of separation from
dear friends here to put his hand into that
of the summoning angel, and say, Lead
on, o messenger of God our Father, to the
next place, whittier the divine goodness

we can pass, | know. but [ have no fear
about what is to come, any more than my
children need fear that the love of their
father should fail them. [ thought myself
a dead man once, and protest the notion
gave no disquiet about myself,-at least,
the philosophy is more comfortable than
that which is tinctured with brimstone.-
The New York Nal tells the following
nice little dog story " An apothecary in
Mass, has a Scotch terrier
which had the singular fortune, good or
bad, to be brought up in a family of kit
tens, and he retains such an affection fo7
his early playmates that he seizes every
kitten he can find and tenderly carries it
home As they are generally claimed or
sent back, he is engaged in continued
effort to accumulate family Of kittens to
make his home happy"

too thin, nor is an ordinary wooden suit
granitic sand surround the shores of the
lake on all sides, mud and tule are un-
known. The lake is thirty-fve miles long
and about fifteen miles wide. La fact, if
California had nothing but Lake Tahoe,
she could still justly claim to be rich in
scenery. The mountains surrounding the
lake are nearly studded with pine and
cedar, tamarack being the most attractive
and graceful Of the trees. An endless
variety Of shrubs and underground, and
mountain flowers of varied colors and deli
cate and tiny shapes, carpet the mountain
sides or bespangle the meadow slopes near
the water. Deep snow now lies on the
summit of the mountains, which, with the
pure azure clouds above, give the impress
sion, when looked up to, of midwinter
Four varieties Of trout are found in the
lake-the silver, black, red and cross
breed-and despite the wholesale and
brutal destruction of the fish as they 20
up the rivers to spawn, no angler need
fear of meeting with complete success in
fishing, especially if he shakes sleep from
his eyes at dawn, and his line is down in
deep water when the sun Is bidding good
morning to the tops of the mountains, and
opening the days silvery splendor with
preparatory flood of soft yellow light All
kinds of row and sail boats are found on
the lake, 50 that the triple recreation of
fishing, rowing and sailing may be all
enjoyed The water is so clear that ten
cent piece may be seen on the bottom at a
depth of seyenty-fye feet. The angler can
sit on the wharf or IN a boat, watch every
motion Of the fish as they nibble at the
bait, and finally get caught on the hook.
Minnows swarm near the shores, and
children fish for and easily catch them by
the dozen. la this amusement they take
a far more absorbing delight than in the
muck Of mud pies, the climbing Of fences,
or the stoning of cats-Corr@poadeatI

Dyin', parson, did you say
Well, I 'spose it must De so;
Anyways, amt got much
To keep me here below.
I'm glad it warnt twelve year ago
The good Lords very kind
I'd made a hard die Of 1t then,
To leave so much behind.

4 fine-stocked farm and big barn full,
And a home from trubble free.
An thar was IEoU, my poor old gal,

No man was ever hitched like me
To a mate more kind and dear.
And thar was Fred, my brave, good boy,
with grit all thru and thru;
And darter Nellie, pure and bright
As stars in Heavens blue.
But long come on that cus-ed wal
And smashed things a-heap;
When big men sowed the seeds OF hell
Which poor men had TO reap

TIE New CmcAGo-It IS now about
ten months since Chicago was destroyed
by fire. Already the city is on its feet
again. 1t will be remembered that 98.500
people we're left homeless. OF these, 75,-
500 lived in 1890 buildings in the North
Division, where 1470 acres were burned
over and every house consumed. Now we
are told that dwellings for seventy thou
sand people have been ercted in that di-
vision. In the South Division, where the
theaters, stores and warehouses were de-
stroyed, and where $500 buildings were
burned on $50 acres, the ground Is nearly
covered, and the buildings now completed
and those under construction outnumber,
as they will exceed in style, value, and So
lidity, the buildings which were de-
stroyed by fire in the same district

GLAu>roNE's DELIGHT AT THE SETTLE
MEN p, as well as the peculiarities cf his
oratory.-the resonant and finely balanced
pcriods,-are illustrated by his remarks
at the Lord Mayors banquet About a
year ago this hall was adorned by the
presence Of most distinguished company
NOT less distinguished than that which
Is now collected under your auspices-and
among them were various representatives
of the diplomatic body-one especially to
whose address we must look back with
peculiar interest at this time-I mean the
well known and eminent representative Of
the United States, Gen Schenek. In the
speech which that distinguished gentle
man then delivered, with an eloquence
which he shares in no small degree with
his countrymen, who are as largely pos
sessed Of the gift of orat ory, if not more
largely, than any nation of Europe-in
that speech he congratulated his own
country, and he congratulated US on the
conclusion of the treaty of Washington
and l for my part, had the agreeable duty
OF echoing, in the name of my country, the
sentiments of satisfaction and of good

OF, not to advert in mind to that which has
since occurred. Over the sky which was
then 50 calm and bright there came six
months ago a cloud, and that cloud did at
one time appear as if it were charged with
elements not only Of difficulty but even Of
danger. | rejoice and am thankful TO be
aware that at the moment when | now
speak it has passed away from the horizon
and that all the pleasant recOllections and
all the bright hopes which were associated
with the conclusion of the treaty Of Wash
ington have revived In their full vigor and
integrity. We have now to watch at
Geneva not the painful and anxious phases
of 4 diplomatic controversy, but the
peaceful-I might almost say plOddlng-
progress of something more like q civil
suit between parties equally desirous to
submit their particular wills and views to
the higher authority Of public law, impair
tally administered for their own good and
the good of humanity. Two years ago,
when Lord Granville took the seals of the
foreign office, he was greeted, on the as
sumption OF his arduous duties, by the
assurance that at no time had there been
a more remarkable diminution of the diff
cult and arduous business in that depart
ment. We have seen what has occurred
in the interval. But, so far as we are
concerned, it Is indeed a cause of profound
thankfulness to remember that for US that
condition Of tranquility now again pre-
walls, and that now again we are enabled
emp hatically to say that we have not a
cause Of quarrel or of difficulty with any
nation on the face Of the globe.

a No VEL BRIDGE-The railroad bridge,
which Is TO extend across the harbor of
San Francisco from the mainland to Goat
Island. and to which the citizens have
been SO strongly opposed, is to be some
what of an architectural novelty, 1t Is
to run through an immense tube of boiler
iron, which supports itself in the water
by its own buoyancy, and is held some
thirty feet below the surface by compli-
Gated system of anchors, cables and buoys.
The tube is twenty feet in diameter, and
Is strengthened by au internal frame work
of iron beams. The principal problem
with the engineer was how TO have the
buoyaney of the tube equal to the weight
of train Of cars % as to acquire the mimi
mum of anchorage or support. Should the
bridge prove a success, submarine railroad
tubes may become quite common, as they
may be used where regular tunnels would
be impracticable or at least very expen-
sive.

We offered them reconciliation in 1860
They had only to submit quietly to an cleo
ton, under the Constitution by majority
of the American people. We offered them
a reconciliation in 1868. They had only to
let men live in peace in their dwellings.
The speaker closed with a few words upon
the idea that now the late rebels should offer
as an inducement for reconciliation that the
always loyal men of the nation vote for their
candidate for the Presidency.

Drinking wine Is q habit So IS drinking
spirits, ale, cider, coffee and water. The
last IS thought a necessity, but to drink
much is a habit. These people never
perspire as much as those who drink more.
The more that Is drunk the more water
passes away or the system would suffer.
IS it IS the strain that affects it. The skin,
the kidneys, bowelsand lungs area all drawn
up. The result IS, as may naturally be
expected, exhaustion. For this reason the
man who drinks much water, particularly
during the summer and in the hottest wea-
ther, Is less able to endure fatigue. The
water Is of DO benefit TO him-that is, the
excess. 1t must pass away and this re-
quires an effort of the system, which is the
sweating process. Had he not used the
excess of water he would not have perspir-
ed so-it would not have been there for
the system to expel. 1t IS habit to
drink water so much, a false thirst Is ere
ated. We should drink only what Is need
ed. the habit Of drinking more viii soon
be overcome and the person will feel much
stronger and more capable of bearing IA
tigue. In winter, little fluid Is needed
beyond what our food furnishes in summer,
some, but not much-Country Gentzemzn IN.
