Lost in the Snow.

TUESDAY, the 23d of January, 1872,
will long be remembered by the people of
Northern Colorado. Snow covered the
ground, yet the weather was pleasant,
and the mountains stood out grandly in
the sunlight. On the afternoon of this
day, jeremiah Fisk left the Higley coal
mine with load of coal for his home in
Greeley. The distance is fourteen miles.
Two teams had gone before him, and
others were on their way to the NINE A
little after four O'Clock, when in sight of
town, he passed two of his neighbors cut
ting ice in lake seven miles northwest
of Greeley. The Cache la Poudre River
lay at the foot of the slope, about two
miles due south of HIM, and the road
leads almost directly down to the river,
and follows it to the town limits. Not
long after leaving the lake he heard a
noise like the roaring of great water
spout. Instinctively he turned toward
the mountains they were calm and beau
tiful as in the morning, but nOrthward,
where the Black Hills rise from the plains,
he saw vast wall of cloud approaching
with the speed of whirlwind. The roar
ing increased. At this moment the frozen
tidal-wave touched the foothills and
chased the sunbeams from the mountains
| like an avalanche. The horses rushed
forward in terror, and u second later they
were in darkness, the storm sweeping
over them with resistless fury. Snow,
finer than the finest -four, filled the
air so that it was impossible to see q
hundred feet in any direction. FISK
wrapt buffalo robe around his neck and
shoulders, and urged his trembling horses
on, but they could not keep the road, ant
in short time the plain was as trackles'
as the sea. After the horses had left the
beaten way they could scarcely walk, anC
it was not long before they refused tC
move. The darkness increased and thu
mercury was rapidly running down t.
zero.
No time must be lost. The traces
were unhitched, and, mounting tn,
strongest horse, Fisk attempted to urg
him forward; but he would not go. TheI
he led them for time, but finding tina
it took all his strength to keep the buffalo
robe from blowing away, he left the team
and pushed on before the wind, for tn
wind was his only compass. The storm
increased in violence every moment, an,
it soon became dark and intensely cold
In many places the snow was deep, ant
more than twenty times the strong MAJ

Useful Household Hints.

You know what a racket is caused,
even by the most careful hand, in supply
ing Goals to crate or stove, and how,
when the performance is undertaken by
Biddy, it becomes almost distracting. If
you don't remember, take notice the first
time you are i'll, or you have dear
patient In your care, or the baby is in
quiet slumber. Let some one bring on
her coal-scuttle or shovel and revive your
recollection. Well, the remedy / suggest
is to put the Goals (or coal?) in little
paper bags, each holding about a shovel
full. These can be laid quietly on the
fire, and, as the paper ignites, the Goals
will softly settle in place. You may fill
coal-scuttle or box with such parcels
ready for use. For a sick-room, a nur-
sery at night, or even for library, the
plan is admirable. Just try it. Besides,
it is so cleanly. If you don't choose to
provide yourself with paper-bags, you
can wrap the Goals in pieces of news
paper at your leisure and have them
ready for use when occasion requires.
Perhaps Biddy will kindly do it for you;
Or better still, the children, if the house
is so sunshined, will attend to the wrap
ping. 1t is very easily done.
Suggestion number two: Always have
in the house a piece of well-smoothed
joist (any kind of hard timber, such as
use-builders use), about twelve inches
long and twice as thick as a common
brick This, when needed, can be put
into the warm oven or laid on the range
or stove and heated, and it will be found
a most capital thing at night for warming
cold feet. 1t is surprising how very hot
such piece of wood will become with
out burning, and how very long it will
retain heat. AS it is quite light, it can
easily be held to any desired part of the
body; it is clean, does not scorch the
sheets, and, above all, it saves one from
the cold horror of llat-iron in the morn.
ing waking. The joist is never absolutely
cold if by an accident it falls out of bed,
| it doesn't alarm the entire household as q
falling iron would, and it can be applied
to the tenderest baby-feet without burn
ing them.
Suggestion number three: In ironing
| fine laces, don't use a flat-iron, The
weight tlattens all the beauty out of the
lace. Use the fiat blade of case-knife
warmed either at the gasjet or between
the bars of the CRATE. The knife heats
instantly, and when once you get the
knack of using it, it is far handler thar
an iron for the purpose named. or course
you must wipe the blade carefully aftel
each heating, and you must lake care no
to let it be too hot Lady travellers anC
those poor unfortanates who live il
boarding-houses will find this hint invalu
able, think.-Hearh and Home.

Vice-President COlfax Not Candidate

WARRINGTON CITI, rcDruary q, lotS'
MY DEAR SIR: have just read in the
Chicago Tribune of the 9TH the following
special dispatch from Indianapolis:
''The friends of Vice President Colfax,
in the State, appear to be making con-
certed effort for the Republican nomina-
tion for the Presidency"
do not know who is the author of this
telegram, but trust that you will allow
me space in your columns to say that no
such "effort" is being made anywhere by
my wish or authority Publicly and pri-
vately, in speeches and in letters, / have
invariably declared myself in favor of
President Grants denomination, as well
to those not friendly to it as to those who
were and have so written to every friend
in Indiana who asked my opinion. When
the ticket of "Grant and ColfaX' was
elected, in 1868, / determined there should
be no alienation between them, growing
out of the distribution of Presidential
patronage-in regard to which / resolved
not to obtrude-or from any lack of friend
ship or goodwill on my part. And | am
glad to state that this was most cordially
reciprocated by the President, 30 that
there has never been the slightest disturb
ance of our most desirable personal and
political relations. Nor can any discord
IN tne party De traceu 10 any real OF even
pretended antagonism between us. l feel
deeply the obligations am under to the
Republicans of Indiana and the nation foI
their long g-continued confidence, and
political duty to party, whose record fol-
the last ten years is the noblest ever made
by any party in any country or any age
induced me TO say that if the National
Convention deemed it wisest to renom
mate me for the office | now hold would
accept But my interest in the continued
ascendency of Republicanism is far great
er than any personal considerations, anC
if the Convention prefers some one elsC
for the Vice-Presidency land there art
many ADLER and worthier), no man in the
United States shall exceed me in the cor
diality and earnestness with which shal
support him. am not candidate fol
the Presidential nomination, being just al
decidedly as ever in favor of Presiden
Grants denomination, and hope our con
vention on the 22d will so declare unani
imously. | beg for the sake of harmony

MANY persons say that they have tried almost
every remedy that has been recommended for hu-
mors, and they are no better now than when they
commenced them, and they have no confidence in
anything that is advertised to cure Salt Rheum,
Eryspelas and all similar humors. We would say
TO these that there is now remedy that as yet has
never failed Of curing those diseases. IL acts upon
an entirely different principle from anything ever
offered for them; Il throws humor out OF the blood
through the skin, which is the only channel
through which the system can be entirely freed
from them II You WIN try IL, you will not say Of
this as you have by the others, FOR II will cure you.
