Pixies Peak in Winter,

Mr.. Ramsdell, correspondent of the
New York Tribune, recently interview
ed the signal officer on Pixies Peak, Mr..
Brown, and obtained the following in
formation:
This deSolate station, which in the
best weather in summer requires a day
to reach, is wholly cut off from the
world for sever months in the year.
Fairly in November the men house
themselves. They lay in provisions to
last them until April or May; salt pork,
corncd beef, canned vegetables, lard.
flour and groceries. They also keep
fresh meat, beef and mutton, by bury
ing it iii the snow. Wood at Sl7 Il cord
is also laid in, in bountiful supply. Dur
III" these seven months not Il human
face do they see. They can neither get
down to the living world, nor can the
living world get up to them. Half the
world may be drowned and the other
halt burned for aught they know. Coun-
tries may change, war may have blot
ted out geographical boundaries. If the
telegraph wire works faithfully, which
it does not always in that atmosphere, Il
scrap of news is occasionally obtained.
But at best it is a dreary, dead, profit
less. thanklcss lite.
..One of the most remarkable pheno-
mcna seen on the Peak" said Mr.:
Brown, in Il later conversation, sis the
electric storm. These storms generally
begin with hail, and last from half an
hour to tour hours. The whole atmos-
phere is full OF electricity. Sheets of
fire are everywhere seen. Sparks crack

and fill The buffalo robes and the bed

the windows. and up from the floor. 1t
seems as though You are in a battery.
If YOU 90 out doors cloud of electricity
rests On the whole Peak; it comes from
the rocks, The clouds are full of it. The
Lightning plays below in fearful inten-
sity. The electricity is diffused through
the atmosphere. and is everywhere in
the cabin. Ones hair literally stands on
end, and even the furs in the cabin are
stiff with it. At first one is greatly ter

The Wolf and the Lamb.
BY BRET HARTR.

\ wolf, one day drinking from q rum
ming stream observed a lamb also drink
inc from the same stream at some dis
lance from him.
Il have yet to learn" said the wolf,
addressing the lamb with dignitied Sc
verify, what right you have to muddy
the stream from which | am drinking"
Your premises are incorrect, replied
the lamb with bland pOliteness, 'fOr if
YOU will take the trouble to examine the
current critically. you will observe that
1t flows from yOu to me and that any
disturbance of sediment here, would be,
50 tar as You are concerned, entirely To-
cal"
POSSIBLY ynu are right, returned the
wolf, -'but if | am not mistaken, you
are the person who. two years ago, used
some influence against me ut the prima-
RIGS"
impossible" replied the lamb, "two
years ago | vas not BORN
"Ah, WELL added the wolf, compOs-
eddy, Il am wrong again. But it must
convince every Intelligent person who
has listened to this conversation, that |
am altogether insane, and, consequently,
not responsible for my actions"
With this remark, he at once dispatch
ed the lamb. and was triumphantly &C.
quilted.

The number of calamities which
have lately befallen the world by the
understandable forces Of nature have
been both numerous and remarkable.
Twice has Chicago been almost des-
troyed by fire, and Boston has suffer-
cd once by the same fearful scourge.
Large districts of country in the
North have been d~esolated by noun
tain fires, while much larger in the
South have been laid waste by over
flows. More terrible storms and
whlrlwinds have been known this
summer than ever before in the same
length of time, while earthquakes
have held high carnival. Foreign pa
pers are filled with the accounts of
floods in France and England, while
a p~opulous city III South America
has just been leveled by a violent
earthquake shock. Returning to our
own land, we find portions Of it al
most ruined by plaques of insects,
each contemplate in itself, but. when
united in the vast armies that are
sometimes seen. more terrible than
regiments Of hostile troops. What
ever be the cause, it is certain that
the disturbances OF nature,the effects
of which we see, are becoming much
more frequent and active than has
ever before been known. To what
they will lead-whether they are due
20 planetary ~equinoxes, or some 9TH
er cause-whether they will increase
in intensity or diminish in violence
are questions which the public would
like very well to have solved.-Globe-

A CARPET ShOM.

pets and curtains a! the Bon Marche. French
| taste, that most subtle and identifying quail.

it is impossible for any one not familiar with
that peculiar gift to imagine what pretty
affair that carpet opening was. The main ell.
trace to the store was dr.ped with rich fes-
toons of striped Karaman cloth in gay colors.
p-stairs various departments had been
cleared out to make way for the new display.
the visitor had the pleasure of inspecting
two miniature drawing-rooms, curtained, car
peted, and furnished la mode, but differing
from ordinary drawing rooms in this respect
you could buy any of their contents that
pleased you.
The carpets and rugs, in their soft, rich
blended hues, were extremely beautiful. the
former varying in price from $40 to $500.
while some of the largest sizsd rugs were as
low as S. each. The warm-hued heavy cur
tans We're hung in every direction, adding
richness and beauty to the scene. Embroid-

scarlet grounds, wrought with gold thread
and gold colored silks, were among the novel
ties exhibited Then there We're squares
of Chinese embroidered satin for sofa cushion
covers, and oblong pieces of gold brocaded
Oriental stuff to cover small tables, and
other brilliant and picturesque articles.
