snow-,lidea IN utnh.

In summer, Cottonwood District
is the most delightful of cool re-
treats in winter, a lofty snow bank,
with here and there gray projec-
ton. In the winter sunshine it
would, but for the occasional
patches of timber, present pain
fully dazzling expanse of white;
and as it is, serious snow-blindness
is not uncommon. When a warm
south wind blows for day or two
there is greater danger Of snow
slides. In January, 1875, the snow
fell there without intermission for
eight days, filling the deepest
gulches, into which the few stray
animals plunged and floundeted
helplessly. In the circular noun
tain hollows, with a good growth Of
timber, the snow drifted from ten
to forty feet deep, leaving the
largest trees looking like mere
shrubs. Distant settlements we're
quite isolated, and the narrow
passes thereto stopped by snow.
However, in the best developed
mines work went on under-g ground,
all the side chambers and vacant
places being stacked full of ore as
fast as it was mined. In a few
more days the sun came out bright
and clear, and though the ther-
mometer rarely rises above the
freezing point during the first two
months of the year in the higher
camps, yet 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, avalanches 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 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 ava
lanche, but the snow poured in at
the doors and windows, and they
were frozen or smothered. Thirty
five lives were lost in Utah that
winter by snow-sl.des. Six men
were buried in one gulch a thou
sand feet under packed ice and
snow. Search for them was use
less. But at leugth the breath OF
June dissolved their snowy prison,
and the bodies were revealed, fresh
aud fair as if they had inst ceased
to breath.-J. II. Beadie, IN Har-
per's Magazine for October.

Strange Stories OF uigh-bOrn Loaf


In his endless speech for the

years Of vagabondage are no dis

the learned counsel, "there was the
famous Duke of Wharton, one of
the cleyerest, but. yet one of the
widest men of the last century.
After one of the widest and most
reckless careers, he chose to end his
life as a monk in a Spanish convent.
Then you may have heard Of the
astounding career Of Wortley Mon

ran away from home when a child

all to no effect. He went into a
foreign land, ultimately became a

wonderful and astonishing things,

Some newspapers are unable to under
stand how it should have made any differ
ence to Gen. Schenck whether his resigna-
ton was known before he left London or
not, since if diplomatic privilege protected
him while he held the embassadorship it
protected him equally, as everybody
knows, while going to and returning from
his post. The explanation is simple.
Writs against him we're already out, but
had not been served because the lawyers
raised doubts whether his was q case in
which diplomatic privilege did protect. II
he had publicly resigned, service would
certainly have been risked at once before
he could get out of reach. Even when he
