How Snow Avalanches are Formed in
the Rocky Mountains.

A Nevada paper, speaking of the ava
lanches of snow which have been so de-
structive of life and property this winter,
says: The purely sliding avalanches, OF
snow slides, are such as occur in dry or
merely moist snow, while the rolling
avalanches take place when the snow is
wet or sufficiently moist to form into
balls by rolling. The avalanches that
occurred in Virginia City were of the
genuine rolling description-the kind
most dreaded and most destructive in
the valleys of the Alps. A very small
beginning when the snow is in the prop
Ell condition may end in q destructive
avalanche. A ball of snow no larger
than mans head, started high up on
the side Of Mount Davidson might have
swept away several houses at the foot of
the mountain. The fearful force of the
avalanche was shown here when one
broke into house and killed two men,
and another demolished two houses and
buried five persons, who were rescued
with much difficulty. A further illustra-
ton of the terrible force and destructive
powers Of the avalanche is to be found in
the fact that twenty eight Cinnamon
We're killed by one that fell near Genoa.
AS we have said, a small ball of snow
started high up on the slope of Mount
Davidson would result in genuine ava
lanche. In rolling distance of fifty
yards in the moist snow the small ball OF
snow would become four or five feet in
diameter, when it would burst and each
piece of it would an instant after form 6
ball Of large size these in turn woult
explode as soon as they had acquired {
certain weight and velocity, and a mo
ment after there would be hundreds ant
thousands of these balls in motion, al
bounding down the steep side of tn
mountain.
While hundreds of these are explodin,
OF just forming, other hundreds are O
full size and are picking up rocks, dir
andall manner of rubbish, which become
involved in the grand downward rush

WHAT DOES IT MATER.
BY VIM. ANDREW sIeoURNEY.


1t matters little where was born,
Or II my parents were rich or poor;
Whether they shrank at the cold worlds
scorn, ah H
Or walked in the pritle OF wealth secure;
But utwhether live an honest man.
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch
tell you, my brother, plain as can,
1t matters much!
1t matters little how long stay
In a world OF sorrow, sin and care;
Whether In youth am allied away,
Or live till my bones of flesh are bare;
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch,
On the faded cheek of my fellow-man,
II matters much!
It matters little where be my grave,
0ron the land. or on the sea,
BY purling brook, meath stormy wave,
II matters little or naught to me;
But whether the angel OF death comes
down s..V
And marks my brow with his loving
touch,
As one that shall wear the victor's crown,
Itmatters much!

Importance of N Single Vote.

A correspondent of an exchange paper
gives the following remarkable examples
of the importance of a single vote:
We have all, at some time or other,
realized the Importance of a single vote.
The following instances have fallen under
my notice. One vote in the city of New
York, returned Republican member to
the Assembly, which made maj Ority in
the Legislature of that State for Thomas
Jefferson, and give him the vote of New
York, without which he could not have
been elected The whole policy of the
United States during the Jefferson and
Madison administration, a period of
sixteen years, hung on that one vote. One
vote elected Marcus Morton, Governor of
Massachusetts,, in an aggregate popular
vote of 10000 One vote elected
William Allen, in the ChillicOthe district,
to Congress, in the year 1884, and one
vote subsequently made him United
States Senator for six years afterwards.
The following case of this kind, is still
more remarkable: In 1880, Dan Stone,
of Cincinnati, was a candidate for the
State Legislature. Walking up Main
Street, on the morning of his election, he
overlook an acquaintance going to the
polls, who intended to vote the opposition
ticket. Stone solicited his vote. eve are
old friends, said he, "and know you will
show friend mark of kindness" Party
spirit was then comparatively quiet. The
voter replied, ''Well, Dan, you are pretty
clever fellow, 1 don't care if do" That
vote elected Stone, and gave a majority
of one in the Legislature, which made
Thomas Ewing United States Senator.
Mr.. Ewing's vote on the question of
confirming Martin Van Buren, as Minister
Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, enabled
the Vice-President to give his casting
vote against it, and called Mr.. Van
Buren, home. That recall made Mr. Van
Buren, first Vice President, and determin-
ed the general policy of the country for
four years. One vote accomplished all
this.

The Penalty of silence

In prisons for women absolute silence
forms portion of the punishment. Any
infraction of this enforced dumbness is
severely punished. Even during recrea-
ton, which is merely a promenade in the
yard, il is forbidden to the prisoners to
communicate with each other. The
greatest favor that can be conferred on
them is to restore to them, if but for a
moment, their liberty of speech yet it
is said, that they rarely fail to abuse the
privilege.
As an instance, it is related that when
NJ. Baille, the director of the most i'm
portant of the French prisons, was, in
1868, invited to the fetes at Compiegne,
he was questioned by the empress re-
speeding certain details relative 10 the
regulations of the establishment of which
he was the director On learning the
rule of enforced silence the empress said,
pityingly: ''Poor women! that is a
severe punishment. | desire that your
soiourn here and my conversation with
you should be of some service to them,
and request you to permit your prison
ers to converse freely for twenty-fOur
hours" OfcOurse M. Baille was obliged
to give orders to that effect. At once a
number of private conversations were
organized. But one hour later the con-
versations were changed into arguments.
Cries and screams succeeded, heads grew
hot and all these unhappy creatures,
habituated to silence, became drunken
with their own words like usually sober
man whom one glass of wine intoxicates.
They disputed, they quarreled, they
struck each other, they flung the earthen
vessels at each others head. 1t became
necessary 10 summon the turkeys, and
they were saluted with cries of "Vive
la Republique." "That we have been
permitted to talk" the prisoners had
said among each other, sis a sign that
great events have taken place-the en-
pire must have been overturned and the
republic proclaimed. Let us salute this
new revolution" 1t was hard to per-
suade them Napoleon III still occupied
the throne of France, and that it was to
the Intervention of the empress that they
owed the favor which they had just
abused.

We are permitted to copy the follow
ing as to the situation in Mississippi
from a private letter of the 9th ultimo

and for many years prominent in the

experience and abilities are now denied
to his State because the carpet-bag gov.
eminent has retired the class to which he
belongs from every sphere of usefulness
"Ames is organizing and arming the ne
gro militia. Our people openly charge
that his object is TO provoke conflict with
the whites with the hope of influencing the
election. He refuses to accept white VOL
unteers unless they be his own creatures.
and he has commissioned as officers noto-
rious negro cut-throats. The white people
will have no trouble if they possibly can
avoid it."
In connection with this matter the re-
lation between the negro and bis CARPET

larger presentations being made, he sits

He generally chooses some verse from

solemn occasions; and invariably adapts
his address to the circumstances and the
