SATURDAY. MARCH $, 1878.

THE great storm which recently swept
over Minnesota, carrying with it such
fearful loss of life, was of a very remark
able and unusual character. 1t is de-
scribed as a snow hurricane Of more than
fifty hours continuance, and its advent
was as sudden as it was fearful in charac-
ter. Tuesday, the 7th was q mild and
loevly day. The warm and pleasant
weather tempted tho farmers forth to the
villages for household supplies, or to the
woods for fuel. The children were at
school, the mothers were at home, alone
in their roughly-built cottages of wood.
While the people were thus engaged,
utterly unprepared for any severity of
weather, in an instant, ''as if a man had
clapped his hands," a binding snow
storm fell upon the land, accompanied by
a furious, freezing wind. The tempera-
ture fell, in some cases, from forty degrees
above zero to twenty, thirty or forty de-
grees below. The absent husbands and
fathers, knowing what the hurricane
BODIED, leaped into their sleighs and set
out for home. But the snow was of al
most impalpable fneness, coming in
binding clouds, and soon the prairie roads
were obliterated, and all who were abroad
were bewidered and lost theirway. The
storm continued from Tuesday to Thurs
day, and when at last the storm ceased,
the most appalling scenes were revealed.
Hundreds of farmers were frozen stiff on
their way home, some not hundred
yards away from their own doors. Little
children fastening homo from school
were frozen on the way, and found locked
in each others arms. Whole families of
children were frozen and starved to death
beside their mothers, while, out on the
prairies, their fathers lay stiff beneath the
snow. A sleighing party of twelve young
people were entombed in the snow, and
all persisted. So dense was the curtain of
snow that people lost their way between
their own doors and their woodpie, and
were frozen to death. Many made mar
row escapes, some preserving their lives
by burrowing in the snow, whore they
remained without food for a day or more.
Minnesota has been ravaged by the saw
age Indians, and it has been desolated by
| forest fires, but this fearful storm seems
to have been a more terrible visitation
than any which has hitherto befallen tho
settlers in that new land.

A QUESTION OF GRAMMAR.-A search
or after truth writes 10 ask us which is
grammatically correct, TO say "the house
is building" or "the house is being built"
"the street is paving" or ''the street is
being paved 2" There is a wide diversity
of opinion upon this subject; but we in
cline TO favor sis being built" for the
following reasons: Suppose you wish 10
express another kind of an idea, would
you say, for instance, Johnny is spank
ing," or johnny is being spanked ?"
The difference to you may seem immateri-
al, but il may be matter of considerable
importance 10 Johnny; and it is probable
that IL any choice were given him, he
would suddenly select the former alter
native. You say again that the "mis-
sionary is eating" Certainly this ex-
presses very different and much pleas
anter idea than the form "the missionary
is being eaten" and the sensation is very
different for the missionary too. We
have consulted several missionaries about
it, and they all seemed TO think that the
two things are somehow not the same, no
matter what tho grammaria1s say. .-Hnd-

To YOUNG LADIES. - In marrying
make your own match. Do not marry
any one to get rid Of him, or to oblige
him, or to save him. The man who
would go to destruction without you
would quite likely go with you, and per
haps drag you along also. Do not marry
in haste, lest you repent at leisure. Dc
not marry for home and living, when
by burning up your corsets and rolling
up your sleeves, and taking care Of your
health, you can be strong enough to earn
your own living and provide O homo for
yourself. Do not let aunts, or fathers, or
mothers sell you for money or position
into bondage, tears and life-l long misery
which you alone must endure. Do moi
place yourself habitually in the company
Of any sutor till you have decided the
question of marriage /; human wills arc
weak, and people often become bewidered
and do not know their mind till it is toe
late. Get away from their influence,
settle your head and make up your mind
alone. A promise may be made in an
hour of half delirious ecstacy, which
must be redeemed through years of sor.
row, toll and pain. Do not look too high
unless you wish companion who will
dcspise you. Beware of insane blood
unless you wish your children to fiji youl
life with sorrow and close their own with
suicide. Do not marry hastily, contrary
TO the wishes Of parents, guardians, and
friends you may refuse TO marry at theil
bidding, but you have no right to rush
hastily into welded life against theil
counsel. Wait-a few months may make
you thank heaven for their restraint and
care. Love can wait; that which canno,
wait is something of q very different
character. Do not imagine that because
two persons are miserable when apart
they will live happily together. The OPP
posite is more usually true. The "hap-
py" is in the heart. Those who are hap
py when separated will be happier when
united.-Rev. John Wilson.

WARM COVERING FOR Cold NIoHTs.
A correspondent writes: On cold nights
when l have not sufficient bedding ovec
me, especially at hotels, where we cannot
always get just what we want, adopt a
very simple plan. Let me recommend
it 10 others. Throw off one or two of the
top covers from the bed, then get two or
three newspapers Zone very large one will
do) and spread them on The bed, and re-
place the cover. The result will be
warm and comfortable night, without
any perceptible increase in the weight of
bedding. Again, for cold ride on
boat, coach, or long walk against the
wind, place spread newspaper over your
chest before you button up your overcoat,
and you will not become chilled through.
Nothing can be cheaper, and, as far as it
goes, nothing more efficient.

THE TELL TALE DIAMOND.
Lenf from u Detectives Life.

| On the night OF January 10th, 19-, tho
Clifton Bank was entered by burglars,
who made good their escape with thirty
thousand dollars in their possession. As
soon rs the robbery became known, | re-
paired to the bank and sought the presi-
dent, to whom | presented my creden-
tials, and made known my intention OF
commencing work at one. The old gem
tleman readily aoquiesced, and together
we passed into the main office where sew
eral spruce looking young men were
scratching away as unconcernedly as if
they had not been engaged in an ami
mated discussion OF the robbery only n
minute before. / glanced at them sharp
ly, but saw nothing suspicious in their
looks, and concluded il would be waste
Of time to question them.
/ examined the lock OF the door OPEN
ing upon the street, and found it had not
been tampered with, although the first
arrived had found the door ajar. / next
turned my attention to a door opening
upon the rear, and found it securely lock-
ed, in which condition it had been, so the
president assured me, since the night be-
fore.
Who has charge of the key Of this
door?" l inquired.
"Mr. NJ, the cashier, has one, and
our jantor the other"
Can either of these gentlemen be
summoned?"
"Yes, both If needs be. Here, War
rem, run around to Mr.. Ms and tell
him that | wish to see him Immediately"
The clerk addressed was about to obey,
when sudden thought struck me and |
called him back.
"You need not trouble Mr.. NJ;
but if the janitor can be found ask him to
step down for a minute or two"
In less that two minutes the clerk re-
turned with the janitor-a broad-shoul-
dered Irishman, whose answers TO my
questions were given in such straight
forward manner that / at once exoner-
ated him from all blame.
"You lock up after the clerks have
gone home, do you not ?" / inquired,
looking the man in the eyes.
Yes, sometimes does, an sometimes
/ DOESN'T" was the laconic answer.

"When' Mr.. N worruks lato o.

"Did you lock up last night7"
"Yis, sir. fwats more, tried every dure

"At what time did you lock that door,"
and pointed toward the front entrance.
"Well, as near as can recollect, half

"Are you sure you shot the bolt into

"Aye! could swear that l locked
that dure an left IL locked"
"How about the windows7 Did you
fasten them as well7"
"Yis, livery wan ov thim."
"Very good sir. You may go now If

"Now then, Mr.. j, with your per-

Against the curtained pane, beloved,
The snow boats thick and fast.

Is telling OF the past
And in the old familiar chair,
Beside the heart h-fre's glow,

You loved so long ago.
All, often since the Springs, beloved,
Have bloomed above your rest,

Itself within my breast
As children, in the cheorloss days
When Winter darkly lowers,
Retrace the gardens sodden ways.
And talk of last years flowers.

Do you look back to me beloved,
From out your happy sphere,
And doom me false, that can be

And heart-break docs not kill.

The Daily Arens,

Colfax is not lawyer. But Colfax has
studied the well-known leading case in
bailment, in which, the borrower of a ket-
tie being sued for returning it in a cracked
condition, put in several defences: !.
That he never had the kettle. .. That twas
broken when he took it. 3. That it was
whole when he returned it. Upon this
what Mr.. Colfax pleases to call his de-
fence" is founded Only in the case of
Colfax the defences were not put in stimuli
taneously but successfully and by way of
rebuttal to successive instruments of evil
dence. First, Colfax last summer told
his neighbors that he never had the stock !;
then, the stock having been proven upon
him, he never had the money and then,
the money having been proven upon him,
he got it from dead man and tore up the
dead mans letter. His defence is Dor
