MANS Encounter with the snow

We arose as usual on the morning of the
last day of April and looked cheerfully
out at the window The milk of human
kindness Immediately souered throughout
our whole system, and we went and sat
down by the stove and tried TO think Of
something appropriate to say but found
our resources of language utterly made
quate to the occasion. After a good deal
of thought we remembered the remark
that Edgar A. Poe said the Inhabitants of
those cheerful regions in close proximity

Pym went, invariably made on seeing any
white substance. 1t was "Tekeli,li-li. "
AS we didn't understand its precise mean

profanity were satisfied with it for o mo-
ment, but it didn't last long, and after one
more look at the place where ought to ap-
pear the face of nature, we gave il up and
preserved grim silence, 1t being i'm
peratively necessary for us TO go out, we
finally made up our mind to it and opened
the outer door. The girl sad the snow
which was piled up against it and which
fell in when it was opened, footed up just
two bushels and peck by actual meas
urement conducted by me, personally, and
was OF more than the average specific
gravity.
We got the snow shovel and just before
noon succeeded in finishing a very good
tunnel from said door to connection with
the line laid out and plowed out by the
civic authorities to serve as sidewalk.

A Temperance Lecture.

The death yesterday of young man named
Powers, from drinking some poisonous stuff
sold under the guise of liquor, shows the
necessity that exists for some law to prevent
the sdulteration of liquors practised by low
rumseners in this city. In France the police
protect the public from the fraudulent prao-
tices Of traders, and there is no reason
why something should not be done in this
city to check this evil. Tho poor are tho
chief sufferers, and it is only when some
startling incident Like the case of Powers 90
ours that public attention is drawn to tho
dangerous practices of INSCRIPTIONS men,
who do not hesitate to destroy even life for
sake of slight additional profit. 1t is to be
regretted that good deal of obscurity hangs
round the present case. There is a much
uncertainty as to where Powers and his
sister, who also suffers from the effect Of tho
poisonous stuff, were given the drink which
destroyed one life and endangers q second;
but if our police we're worthy Of the name
there could be no difficulty in procuring am
pie evidence against the guilty parties. It il
a pity that the philanthropists who waste their
energies in endeavoring to save worthless cus
from the executioner do not turn their atten-
ton to the protection of human beings, and
endeavor to suppress the system Of adultera-
ton which robs the poor Of their means and

The Brady salvage Case.

Judge Cadwalader has awarded salvage to
Captain Brady for having taken charge of the
steamship Pennsylvania after the first and
second officers had been lost. The Judge de-
cided that the service rendered was clearly sal
wage service, and entitled the Captain to re-
ward. He, however, blamed Captain
Brady's subsequent conduct in retain
ing command of the ship at the
request of the passengers, who, the
Judge says, had no rights in the matter.
This may be excellent law, but if so it is an in
stance where law and sense come into col
lision. In q trying moment the surviving
officers of the Pennsylvania showed want of
nerve and presence of mind. Had it not
been for the prompt action of Captain Brady
in taking command when the decks were left
without an officer and the ship abandoned to
the fury of the storm, it is probable both
ship and passengers might have gone to the
bottom. When the danger was passed the
third officer wished to resume command, but
the passengers requested Captain Brady to
bring the ship into port, as they had no con-
fidence in the ships officer Their lives were
at stake, which they naturally supposed gave
them some interest and right in the selection
of a captain. Judge Cadwalader, however, de-
cides against this theory The law says the
lives of people who go to sea in ships are of
no consequence. Shipowners must be pro-
tected from salvage claims at whatever risk to
the lives of mere passengers
