MISERABLE SNOW.

MISERABLE SNOW.
1T WV. LAMONT.
Sec the snow, the pitilcsssnow,
Driving and uhirling wherever you gol
Meeting the traveller wherever he turns,
Pelting his face, till the nsh almost bnrns /;
Flying and eddying every where,
Making the landscape dismal and drcar.
Nothing at all can compare, that We know,
With horrible, easily, dismal snow
Oh, tie dreary, miserable snow!
Making our spirits grow moody and low,
wetting our feet, if we chance to go out,
Keeping US housed 80 we can't get about.
Snow bound, and wanting to visit friend,
Patience herself, would her raven locks rendi
Nothing on earth, or the regions below,
Compares to the hateful, despisable snow.
See how il seeks out the chinks and the cracks,
Making us shudder, I: Ough little it rack',
Finding the smallest imaginable space,
Filling the room in its maddening race;
Under the doorways, windows and all,
Sweeping through chinks where knat couldn't
crawl.
ofall the vile plaques that old nature bestows,
There Is none to compare to the mise rable
SHOWS.
H. h. NJ
Would it were millions Of miles down below!
Here while we sit in fit Of the "blues,"
Longing and wanting to hear all the news,
Deeper and deeper it covers the ground,
Until at length we are really "snow bound"
Yet we are told with poetic glow,
There 10 something sublime in this horrible
tnowi
Poets have sung of the "beautiful snow,"
Making it jingle and rhyme to and fro,
Singing its beauties in strains so sublime,
Painting it grand az a tropical cline;
Sitting at ease on = we'll cushioned chair,
Fire burning brightly and pleasant the air,
Then they can write anything they don't
know,
conctrniaga fraud they dub beautiful snow.
Its grand othe rhymster, who sits by the FIRE
And thuubs to its beauties the strings Of his
Tyre;
Its grand to the rich at their own freside,
Who knows not a want but to have it supplied
Who can laugh at the storm as it passes along,
Ap1 au.war ia shriek nth a LIGHT hearted
song;
But a!as! to the poor, when the winter winds
blow,
There is little romance in the pitiless fnow.

The La crosse (Wis.) Sun thus de-
scribes the Kidding OF Camilla urso
and the performance generally in that
town -. The fiddler Urso more than
carved the fiddle. She dug sweet
morsels of music out OF it, all the way
from the wishbone to the part that
goes over the fence last. She made it
talk Norwegian, and squeezed little
notes out of it not bigger than cam
brio needle and as smooth as a book
agent. But the most agile flea catcher
was Sixteen fingered Jack, the sand
hill crane that had the disturbance
with the piano. We never knew what
the row was about, but when he went
up to the piano smiling and SHE'D his
castor into the ring anybody could see
that there was going to be trouble. He
spit on his hands, spared little and
suddenly landed stunning blow right
on the ivory, which staggered the
piano and caused an exclamation of
agony. First knockdown for Jack.
He paused moment and then began
putting on blows right and left in such
a cruel manner that the spectators
came near breaking into the ring.
Whenever a key showed its head he
mauled it."

MUsrANGs.-A Pacific Coast corral OF
mustangs, now in a Jersey meadow, is
described by reporter of the New York
Herald. They are being trained for .
three hundred mile race against time. A

are kept, some in sheds; others and the
greater portion of them, in the open air.

the corral was covered with hay and the
animals were eating greedily. The
beasts are of the real California STOCK
rough clad, clean limbed, and with me,
intelligent heads and wild eyes, over
which their names struggle. Their tails,
which. according to the account OF their
keepers, swept the ground when they left
the Pacific coast, are now short to de-
gree in consequence Of the long railway
JOURNEYS without food or water, when
the animals were reduced to chewing one
another's hair. In general build they
are notably fine, although tho uglisst
looking members of the drove are consld-
cred the best for speed. Upon the re-
porter's arrival the animals were just De-
ing ranged for exercise, and the scene
presented Was as unique as it was inter
esting. With dilating nostrils, bloodshot
ewes and nervous limbs, the mustangs
were shooting about the corral, nelghing
and paving the ground in their fright,
while the three ranchmen, mounted on
already broken steeds, prepared to lasso
such Of the drove as suited their fancy.
The scene was wild one, and It IS no
wonder that the country boys on the
other side OF the stout fence drew back
whenever one of the maddened animals
swept BY. The mustangs, which up to
their arrival here were quite wild. are
being broken in by threes. one of the
horsemen at present on hand assuming

trant equines AS ye: about dozen

major part only once. Next week the
practice of riding them blndfold against

has been that of accustomlnS them Sra-

There is prospect that both of the
great English Universities will send
crews to the Centennial regatta at
Philadelphia. The other day it ap-
peared that Oxford would send a crew
if Cambridge also sent one, and now
it seems that Cambridge is willing, if
one can be obtained. We trust there
will be no difficulty in the way of OBJ
tanning a crew, and that both universe
ties will be represented on the Schuyl-

Letter from WashfngtO ton.

Mr.. Editor: In my pocket Is dollar
in silver, twenty five-cent pieces and two
silver dimes. do not say this to boast
of my atfiuence-though that weakness
might not be altogether inexcusable on
my part-but as an Introductory preface
to saying that received these subsidiary
coins here in Washington. in the way of
"change." 1.-The glut of silver" is be-
ginning to make itself felt! When l say
to YOU that the coming hither as repre-
sentative of Nevada, OF the man who
stood uncrushed, yea! unbent under the
pressure of twenty millions of tottering
dollars, and held up the credit of the
Pacific States and
shook GOLD TwKNTIEs IN THE FACE OF
INITIATION
And dare it to do its worst; when tell
YOU that this little man, so full OF stlll
and patient courage and nerves OF steel
met these wise men of the East with his
steady eve and iron grip. there came
new thoughtfulness over them. and they
went away sorrowful.' And then when
Jones. with his massive strokes which
invited blows that he is waiting in vain
to receive. smote the Mock Lord OF Life
and Death, there was still moro breath
less pause, still more notable dumb
ness. This herculean speech, this most
mastery etfort-but I will not anticipate.
1t is too good for adjectives, too strong
for epithets. The Pacific States have
reason to be proud Of their Republican
Senators. The
TWO SPEECHES WHICH HAVE ATTRACTED
THE MOST ATTENTION
Here this winter are Jones argument
for the remonetiZing Of silver and Sar-
gents speech on the Chinese question.
There is vast quantity of Sargent S
yicor and depth OF research In this
speech. It is bold and philosophical,
and indicates an earnest searcher tor the
truth. You will soon receive It, and
recommend to you close perusal OF his
views upon the question Of expatrlatlon.
It is new and invites reflection.

him as a recreant Republican for bis

other than my own sentiments in this
matter.-[ Extracts from the Washington

THE EFFECT OF DEALING IN STOCKS.
A San Francisco correspondent OF the
New York World writes: l always
know when stocks arc down by the
quality Of my dinner, as the lady who
presides oyer my culinary affairs and
the of-all-work are both heavy
operators, and when things go badly
in California street the quality of my
hash is seriously affected. When
Mexican goes up my coffee is all right:
when it is down l have grounds for
complaint. When the evening paper
arrives it reaches me through the
kitchen with thumb-mark on the stock
report. l never think Of inviting
friend to dinner without inquiring
how the market is; if up, l have con-
tidence that all will be lovely: if other
wise, the civility is deferred. When
things are very bad l am likely to get
soup in my hair, for our Katy is OF
nervous temperament, and her hand.
like the market, is slightly "shaky.'
If casually remark that the mark et
closed little strong, l am less likely
to 20 forth with an odor Of onions
under my hat. Every servant-glrl IS
an operator in stocks, and some OF
them have money in the bank. l be-
lieve my cook can draw a heavier check
any day than 1 can, with certainty OF
it's being paid too-not always the case
with mine. The good old days when
fellow could take the chances on few
thousands in red have passed ana
gone. Our banks are very careful,
and the red ink market is not what it
once was. When you want money
they never have it; when you don't
which Is seldom, they are ready to ac-
commodate. 1t is a healthy condition
of affairs, 1 suppose-tor the banks.
