Winter In Utah-Buried Beneath the
snow.

A correspondent, writing from Salt Lake
City about the recent great snow storm in
Utah territory, thus describes mountain
scenes: Vast gulches were filled level with
snow, into which the few stray animals
plunged and floundered helplcssly; in the
circular mountain hollows, with a good
growth of timber, the snow drifted from
ten to forty feet deep, leaving the largest
trees to look like mere shrubs, and on the
bare slopes the snow collected in dangerous
drifts. All the ore wagons had to stop run
ming, and hundreds of men and teams stood
idle. In few instances distant settlements
were quite isolated and the narrow passes
thereto stopped by the snow. However, in
the best developed mines, work went on
underground, all the side chambers and
vacant places being stacked full OF ore as
fast as it was mined In few more days
the sun came out bright and clear, and
the whole population of the mining
towns turned out with oxen and
drays, breaking roads and trails
through the snow. Though the thermome-
ter rarely rises above the freezing point
during the first two months of the year in
the higher camps, vet the warmth seems to
have been sufficient to loosen the snow not
yet tightly packed; and in every place
where the slope was great and the timber
not sufficient to bind it, ayalanches of
from one to hundred acres came thunder
ing into the canons, sweeping all before
them. One of the largest swept off that
part of Alta City little Cottonwood) lying
on the slope. Six persons were killed out
right, either crushed by the timber of their
own cabins or smothered in the snow, and
many more were buried five Or six hours,
until relief parties dug them out One
woman was found sitting upright in her
cabin with a babe in her arms, both dead.
The cabin had withstood the avalanche, but
the snow poured in at the doors and win
dows, and they were frozen or smothered.
Six men and their teams on Big Cotton
wood were caught in gulch so deep that
hundreds of feet of snow rest upon them,
and all hope is abandoned of getting out
their bodies before April or May. In all,
seventeen persons lost their lives in the ca
mons, and a few more were injured. Verify
man carries on but feeble contest with
nature in those awful mountain goIges.

WAR IN BAIsNUM'S HAPPY
FAMILY.
A Leopard Kills the Biach FaM,""r
and PARTLY rc.on,.',.

Two lions. two leopards and tame
black panther have for some months hr'n
kept in one cage in Barnum's liippodiuHic.
The lions are separated from their com
panons through the night by iron bars,
but in the day time the bars are withdrawn
and the animals form ''happy family.
No sooner were the bars taken out
Wednesday morning than the leopard made
spring for the pantheTs throat. The
panther was young, but his muscles were
like iron and his SKIN as thick as sole
leather, and he struck the leopard blow
with one of his fore paws that laid him
sprawling on the floor of the cage. In an
instant the leopard was on his feet again,
and the animals stood face to face. For
fully a minute they glared and growled,
and then, with shock that nearly turned
the cage on its side, they met again, each
trying to grasp the other by the throat.
The employees of the Hippodrome, at
tracted by the noise of the conflict, tried,
with bars and spears, to separate the COM
batants. but without avail. Seasoned
spears were snapped in two like straws, and
even the keeper of the animals dared not
approach the cage. The leopard, with al
unexpected spring, fixed himself upon the
panther's back, and, taking the loose skin
on the back of the latter.s neck b.stMGep
the side of the cage that bent the thick iron
bars nearly double. For minute there
was great danger that all the beasts in the
cage would escape. The top of the cage
was broken and the floor was split. But
the battle was oyer; for the panther, with
out a sound, struck the floor of the cage
lifeless. But the leopard was not satisfied
with the death of his antagonist. No soon
er was he convinced that he could approach
with safety than, Selling the panther's
head between his fore paws he gave him q
tearing with the sharp claws of his hind
feet that nearly stripped the skin from his
body. Then he began with his teeth, and
before the employees could interfere nearly
half of the dead panther had been eaten by
the leopard. When at length a sufficient
force had been collected around the cage
the keeper who had tanned the panther en-,
tered the den. There upon the floor lay
his Ipets silky black skin, almost entire
His body, not yet cold, quivered, and his
eyes glared. The leopard crouched in 9
corner of the cage, satisfied with his meal
The iron bars were soon replaced, and the
leopard prevented from doing further mis-
chief.

SHALL THE PLEDGE BE RE-
DEEMED.

Two weeks from to-day, the republicans
surrender the control of the lower house OF
Congress to the democracy With that
surrender passes the power to enact laws
enunciating and enforcing the distinctive
principles CT the party. Whether that loss
shall be temporary or permanent depends
solely upon the decision Of the voters of
the country. But that decision will be
based upon the acts of republican senators
and representatives, except in so far as it
may be modified, perhaps to a large extent,
by the wisdom or policy of the opposition.
1t is not, however, wise policy to rely for
success, or found our hopes thereof, upon
the mistakes or folly of the democracy 1t
is true that they have, when they have
achieved temporary power by our errors,
lost their advantage by their blundcrs, by
installing the temper of the people by
whose acts or neglect power was placed
within their reach. 1t is true, also, their
every success has resulted in large advan-
tage to the republican party, in that it has
hope for, in the way OF reform, economy
and good government, outside of the re-
publican organization. 1t is true, more
over, that the experience of the country,
since November, has been, to use that
threadbare expression, that the democrats
arestil like the Bourbons, learning nothing,
forgetting nothing. They have, to be sure,
demonstrated this in their every act, We
need but instance the several senatorial
elections, and the filibustelng course of
democratic representatives on the floor of
the house relative to evil rights. But is it
well to RELY solely on these acts, OF possible
or probable southern Sutrages, for success.
Can we afford to go before the people with
merely negative record Can we, when
tainted with unfulflled promises and I'M
redeemed pledges, content ourself with the
retort, no matter how true it may be, "you
are another? Yet we take it, we shall be
somewhat in that condition unlc.s wise use
is made of the next twelve days.
Several questions remain to be acted
upon, all fraught with good or i'll to the
country and party. We might refer to the
deficiency of the revenue bill. the question
of polygamy, Louisiana and Arkansas af-
fairs, and many others, but We hardly
think that these can he called distinctive
party measures. Men can and do differ
in reference to these, although il
is hardly possible to understand now there
can be an honest difference of opinion re.
lative to some of them. But parties, and
members of the same party, do differ and
so long as men claim to be sincere in their
views, they should be equally ready to ac-
knowledge the sincerity of those who diff
fer from them. Both caunot be right, but
there is said to be always two sides to q
question. But there is one question upon
which there IS no division OF opinion
among republicans. In 1872, baslng the
statement upon professed opinions, there
was no difference between parties. We
refer to civil rights-that is, equality be
fore the law, and equal and exact justice

Important railroad Meeting.

A meeting of railroad managers was held
at the Leland Hotel, Springfield, H.,
which was attended by all those interested
in forming through fast line between
Kansas City, New York, Boston and inter-
mediate points. The meeting was entirely
harmonious, and resulted in making up a
faster schedule of time, for a daily train
both ways, than has ever been before at
tempted in the West, and will undoubtedly
revolutionize the passenger travel between
the far West and the Atlantic. The entire
train will run from Kansas City TO To.
ledo GOO niles without change, with
through sleeping cars attached for Roches-
ter, N. Y, and Cincinnati, o., and will re
turn in the same order. The roads over
which this train is to run, are II. & ST..
joe, Toledo, Wabash e Western, and
their connections, and the LIST of March
was designated as the day on which it is to
be inaugurated. The time from Kansas
City to New York was fixed at 4S hours,
and Boston SO hours, being 10 hours faster
than the Chicago route, and four hours
faster than via st. Louis.

to all, regardless of race, color or previous
condition of servitude We say that there
is no difference of opinion among republi-
cans on this subject, although we fully I'M
derstand that the "nephew Of his uncle
Judge, General, President Settle has re-
nounced the party on account of the pas
sage of the civil rights bill by the house.
Such exceptions only prove the rule. What
meant the three days struggle in the house.
the change of the rules, the final passage
of the bill by an unanimous republican
VOTE and what means the Philadelphia
platform, If it is not that the republican
party is unit on this question Were
all these acts, declarations and votes
simply buncombe Was the struggle in
the house simply test of physical en-
durance? Tue principle of civil rights
is conceded to be right, but some ques.
ton its policy. But is it not always good
policy to do exactly right, or as near right
as possible? Whether civil rights shall
be added to the list of unredeemed pledges
is for the republican majority of the house
to determine. They have the power to as
sure it by the passage of the senate bill.
The principle of the house and senate bills
| is the same, the difference being that the
senate bill includes the privileges of public
schools and public cemeteries. 1t places
the whole country in precisely the same
situation that Vermont has occupied fol
years. We, of Vermont, have nothing &c
