Alpine Climbers.

Col. ForneY writes: Zone habit,
which is now grown into fashion, if
not passion, is that of climbing the
Alps. The man Or woman who gets
highest is instantly made famous. Al
pine clubs are organized all over the
Continent, composed of gentlemen and
ladies. | saw one of these Alpine fe-
males and she was a picture which it
would be impolite to call caricature /;
she wore mans hat, a short frock coat
with leathern belt; had small bag at
her side, gray pantal oons, and a pair of
boots reaching halfway up to her knees;
her gloves were gauntlets, and she held
in her right hand an Alpine stick with a
sharp poi Mt at one end and crook at the
other, the stick itself being literally
covered with the names, in black letters,
of the various elevations she had
assembled. Such an apparition in Phila-
delphia would excite more surprise than
an army of boomers, but it will be as
familiar in few weeks on the Rhine
and among the hills of Italy and the
glaciers of Switzerland as a miner in
California or a creole in New Orleans
A traveller DESTROYS of ascending these
mountains provides himself with a cos
tune of oil silk as the best protection
against the weather; also a belt and a
mountain pole. He must have guide
who is to carry the hayersack and to
share it's contents with the climber; he
must never lose sight of his guide. In
straining up the tremendous plains,
apart from other fatigues and dangers,
the face is the first to suffer, and so he
must be armed with bottle of glycer-
inc to prevent or subdue the excoriation.
There is an English lady at this hotel
who says the day after herself and friends
had come down from their visit to the
burning mountain an eruption took place
that filed large part of the valley with
liquid fire. Numerous excursions are
made every spring and summer, particu-
larly from England, composed of young
ladies and gentlemen, who enter upon
the work of climbing these vast ice
mountains with an avidity and an energy
worthy, think, of a better cause"

Birds and IciGIes.

Strange companions are birds and
lclcles, and rare contemporaries in the
garden, but both are now there; the birds
on Towering shrub bereft of leaves and
blossoms, and the icicles pendant on the
bare tWigs and tendrils of wisteria
vine. The birds chirp and twitter, and
the icicles glitter and sparkle. The
brown snowbirds in white vests flutter
around, and fly from one leafess tree to
another. The icicles only hang trans
parent and fairy-like as crystal eardrops
on the many lobes of the vine The last
years nest, far up among the branches
where in early summer the songsters
loved to dwell and sip honey from the
purple flowers, but now utterly forsaken.
The snowbirds do not visit it, and the
winters wind, with its frigid breath,
congeals still harder its icy decorations.
These icicle clusters on the wisteria
are as novel as they are beautiful, and
brilliant as flashing diamonds, rejecting
the morning sunshine or the pale light
of the full moon. But the birds, thought
less creatures, care no more for moon
light or shining icicles than they do for
Senatorial contests or the latest news by
telegraph. They are jolly set of we'll
TODD Chirpers, and look as comfortable
and careless as possible. Their coats of
brown feathers and vests of white down
vie in warmth and elegance with seal
skin sacques and Ulster overcoats.
We do wonder, however, where they
tarry these cold nights, and conjecture
whether they stand ON one foot, with
each tiny head under soft wing, and
long for rosy glow in the east, And
does the ad-and- butter" question
agitate their bird hearts by day? And
do they watch the melting icicles on the
southern side to catch drop of water
to moisten their pretty throats? But
we may. admire these winter visitors
without pity when we remember that
not sparrow falleth without the notice
of the Great Father, and enjoy undis
turbed this pleasant reminder of balmy
air, of arbutus and all the fresh verdure
of springs resurrection. = P1oOiderac'

Singular Combat.

The monkey inhabited large banyan
tree at Patna and was preparing to as
cend it when he perceived near the root
a large cobra. On every attempt to ap-
proach the trunk the snake reared its
crest to attack him; and as the monkey
moved to the other side the snake in
like manner shifted it's ground SO as al
ways to intercept it's advance to the tree.
The monkey ON this quickened its
movements. danced from side to side
and occasionally rushed directly at the
snake as if about TO seize it and kept it
in a continual state of action and alarm
for nearly two hours.
At length the cobra, apparently tired
out, lay stretched on the ground. The
monkey now walked leisurely before it,
watching it all the while with the utmost
vigilance and gradually lessening the
distance between them till he had ar
rived within reach by single bound,
when, springing on his enemy before it
had time to rear its head, he grasped it
firmly by the neck.
The snake instantly enveloped him in
it's folds, but the monkey retained his
uO1dj SclISu ullChUdG Pal u VI Luo L uluS
of an old pagoda at the foot of the tree),
and coolly set himself to work to rub
against it the head of the snake.
This operation was continued with the
most determined perseverance till he had
utterly destroyed ali vestige of the head,
reducing it to confused mass, when, dis
engaging himself from the inert folds,
he srrang up to his wonted roost in the
tree.
After this it can scarcely be questioned
that the monkey was perfectly aware of
the dangerous character of the snake,
and also knew well the seat of the
formidable power which his enemy pos
sessed and could in an instant put forth
in his destruction.
1t also proves that the larger animals,
unlike the smaller ones, are incapable of
being acted on by the power of fascina-
ton. A similar account is given of
colony of monkeys living in a banyan
tree on the Nerbudda.-IHe ParZ0r Nc

Singular MIshap to the Mails.

A very singular accident occurred to
the Newburg IN. " Matchmaker which
was thrown from the Hudson River Rail
road night express train at Fishkill Land
ing few nights ago. This train, which
leaves New York at eleven o'clock D. m,
makes no stops between Peekskin and
Poughkeepsie, but carries the matter de-
posted in the New York postofice after
business hours of each day. Much of
this is bank and equally valuable CORE
spondence. On the night in question
this train passed Fishkill Landing at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour. The mail
agent tossed the bags for Newburg out
of his car when opposite the depot at the
same instant that freight train passed
in the opposite direction, and the bags
were lodged on the pilot of the freight
engine and between the wheels and axles
of some of the cars in the train behind
it. When the trains had passed the
depot-master at Fishkill Landing went
out to the track to secure the mail-bags,
as is his custom, but finding no sign of
them supposed no mail had been thrown
out there. Early the next morning a
railway employe named David Van Bus
kirk walked from the Landing to the next
station south and found the track literally
streWn with letters, papers, and other
mail-matter. He gathered about forty of
the least injured articles, and later in the
morning, with companion, walked
further down the track until the last of
the debris was reached In all, these two
persons gathered eighty letters and other
articles that had been mailed Among
them were letters from the Importers
and Traders National Bank, the Ninth
National Bank and the Irving Qrvington)
National Bank, one of these containing
partially destroyed check for $3.50.
Several articles in packages, such as a
child's sacque of Berlin wool, and num-
Der Of silk handkerchiefs, all more or
less mutilated, were also found on the
track. Neither the bags nor any portion
of them were secured, and it is supposed
they were carried along with the train
All the matter that was found by the two
men who walked over the field of demoli-
ton first was sent to Postmaster Earring
ton at Newburg. Mr.. Farrington's re-
port to the New York postoffice relates
these circumstances and concludes with
the statement that, although there were
| thousands Of dollars worth of checks
and valuables in the mail, so far as has
| been ascertained nothing had been lost.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate of the Forty fourth Congress
met in special session at noon on the 9Th,
the President presiding. The Presiden-
tial proclamation was read and the new Sen
ators sworn in. Mr.. Morton offered resolu-
OCCASIONALLY recognizing Kellogg as Gov
ernor of Louisiana; declaring Pinchback to
be legally entitled to a seat in the Senate
from that State. The committee appointed
to wait on the President reported that he
would send in a communication on the Sth,
and the Senate adjourned to that date
In the Senate, on the 8th, the Pinchback
resolutions were taken up. Mr.. Morton argued
that on their face his credentials were cor
rect, and that the Senate had no alternative
but to admit him as Senator from Louisi-
ana. After a short executive session the
Senate adjourned.
In the Senate, on the 9th, Senator Ferry, of
Michigan, was elected President pro tenn. of
the Senate by vote of 80 to % for Senator
Thurman, of Chic. The standing committees
were announced, after which Mr.. Morton con-
Guided his remarks on the Pinchback resolu-
tions, and Mr.. Merrimon, of North Carolina,
replied thereto. An executive session was
held, after which adjournment
In the Senate, on the 10th, Mr.. Merrimon
concluded his speech on the Pinchback reso-
luton, after which Mr.. McCreery secured the
floor, but yielded to motion for executive
session, after which the Senate adjourned.
In the Senate, on the 18th, considerable
discussion arose on the proposition to send a
committee to the Indian Territory during
the recess, but the whole subject was finally
tabled-39 to %. The Senate then went into
executive session and soon after adjourned

The Capital of the German Empire.

A correspondent Of the New York
World writes: No capital has advanced
SO much in Importance during the last
ten years as Berlin. A quarter of cen
fury ago it had very humdrum' pro-
vincial air compared with Paris, London
Vienna, and contained few more than
100000 people. Now its population is
rapidly nearing million, and it is thor
oughly metropolitan. Berlin is said to
derive its name from Berle, which, in
the language of the earliest settlers,
meant an uncultivated plain. A misera-
BILE situation was the ground on which
this great city stands to build upon, and
it is one which in these days no one
would think Of selecting-a dead flat
rendering effective drainage only posi-
ble by the application of millions OF
money and the best engineering skill,
with a wretched little ditch of river
meandering through it. 1t may be hoped
that if the new bill be made law it will
lead to many reforms in the city, which
stands urgently in need of them. Although
house accommodation has of late been
considerably increased-539 houses hav-
ing been built in the year 1872-3-there
is still deficiency of room, and the poor
are often packed in terribly close quar-
tiers, which naturally tends to aggravate
the filth and immortality prevailing. The
expense of living in Berlin has of late
become so great that members OF the
civil service, commercial clerks and
others with small fixed incomes have
terribly hard struggle to make both
