Climbing an UnexpIOred Mountain.

Hazard Stevens, in the November
Atlantic, giver this startling account of
his ascent of Mount Rainier:
-Four hundred yards of this progress
brought us to where the rock joined
the overhanging edge of the vast neve
or snow-feld that descended from the
dome of the mountain and was from
time to time, as pressed forward and
downward, breaking off in immense
masses, which fell with noise as of
thunder into the great canyon on our
left. The junction of rock and ice af-
forded our only line of ascent. It was
an almost perpendicular gutter, but
here our lce-axe came into play, and
by cutting steps in the ice and awaiting
ourselves of every crevice or projecting
point of the rock, we slowly worked
our way up two hundred yards higher.
Failing stones were continually coming
down, both from the rock on our right
and from the ice in front, as it melted
and relaxed it hold upon them. Mr..
Van Trump was hit by small one, and
another struck his staff from his
hands. Abandoning the rock, then, at
the earliest practicable point, we as
cended directly up eice, cutting steps
for a short distance, until we reached
ice SO corrugated, or drawn up in sharp
pinnacles, as to afford a foothold. These
folds or pinnacles were about two or
three feet high, and half as thick, and
stood close together. It was like a
very violent chop sea, only the waves
were sharper. Up this safe footing we
climbed rapidly, the side Of the noun
tain becoming less and less steep, and
the ice waves smaller and more regu
lar, and, after ascending about there
hundred yards, stood fairly upon the
broad dome of mighty Takhoma. It
rose before us like broad, gently swell
ing headland of dazzling white, topped
with black, where the rocky summit
projected above the meve. Ascending
diagonally towards the left, we continu-
ed our course. The snow was hard and
firm under foot, crisp and light for an
inch or two, but solidifed into ice foot
OF less beneath the surface. The whole
field was covered with the ice-waves, al
ready described, and intersected by q
number of crevasses which we crossed at
narrow places without difficulty. About
half way up the slope, we encountered
one from eight to twenty feet wide and
Of profound depth. The most beauti-
full vivid emerald green color seemed
to fill the abyss, the reflection of the
bright sunlight from side to side Of it's
pure ice walls. The upper side Or wall
OF the crevasse was some twelve feet
above the lower, and in places over
hung it, as though the snow field on the
lower side had bodily settled down a
dozen feet. Throwing blight of the
rope around a projecting pinnacle on
the upper side, we climbed up, hand
over hand, and thus effected a cross
ing. We were now obliged to travel
slowly, with frevuent rests. In that
rare atmosphere, after taking seventy
or eighty steps, our breath would be
gone, our muscles grew tired and
strained, and we experienced all the
sensations of extreme fatigue. An in
stants pause, however, was sufficient
to recover strength and breath, and we
would start again.

An Old Cure for Rheumatism.

Reading (Pa.) Eagle

At the time of my visit to Baxter,
Ark, a court of Judge Lynch was in
full session, just outside the town. The
culprit, a young man of 81, was proven
guilty of demonstrating. The jury
the sentenced him to be hanged
forthwith. The rope was procured,
and he was mounted on the rear of a
wagon under the branches of black
oak. Everything was ready for his
death, when a phllanthropic man of be-
nign appearance-he was stranger in
that acknowledgement to pray ir
secret with the prisoner. A vote was
taken, and he was allowed ten minutes
to work on the soul of the doomed
man. It was the most fortunate grant
the young man ever received. When
in the midst Of an earnest supplication
to the Throne of Grace, three of the
prisoners comrades entered the crowd.
tumbled the praying man over, and
gave the young man two loaded revolv-
ers. The four desperadoes broke for

ing into the crowd. So quick were the
movements of the desperadoes that the
members of the sanguine court we're
taken by surprise, and before they re-
covered the horse-thieves had a good
start. There was mounting of steeds in
hot haste, profanity and pistol-shots in
profusion. The outlaws had She fleet

persed sadly to their homes, intending
to make surer work of the next culprit.

go with the Democratic party. And
every young man within the sound of
my voice, do not tie your bright and
shining prospects to that old corpse OF
Democracy. You will get tired of
dragging it around, and won't you get
tired of smelling it. Applause and
laughter. Don't cast your first vote
for the men that were the
enemies of your country. Don't
cast your first vote for the Democratic
party that was glad when the Union
army was defeated, and whose cheeks
blossomed with JOY when the old flag
was trailed in the disaster upon the
field of battle. Remember, my friends.
that that party did every mean thing it
could, every dishonest, every treason
able thing it could. Recollect that thai
party did all it could to divide this
Nation, to destroy this country.
Recollect that the Democratic party did
that when your brothers, your fathers,
your chlvalric sons were fighting, bleed
ing, suffering, dying, upon the fields of
the South. Recollect that this Demo
cratic party was false to the Nation
when your husbands, your fathers,
your brothers, and your chivalric
sons were lying in the hos
pitfalls of pain dreaming bro
ken dreams of home, and seeing
fever pictures of the ones they loved.
Recollect that the Democratic party was
false to the nation when your husbands,

about to take advantage of the bankrupt

to honor me by reading this article. It

Ono of the prevailing evils of the
American people is said to be the want
of sociability, and here in lola this is
especially the case. At this time We have
no intention of writing moral essay on
this subject other than to advise that We
make new departure and be more 30
ciable. And it would be . splendid time
to inaugurate this reform by joining
with the school children in their pic mic

themselves, and the invitation is extend

do likewise. Fill your baskets with pro-
visions and spend the day in the grove.

An experiment in farming is being
tried by J. D. Simms, which, it success
full, is of great importance to persons op-
ening farms on the prairies. Early last
spring he broke and sub-soiled some forty
acres Of prairie sod. The breaking pillow
rs run to the depth of three inches and
was followed by another pillow running
four or five inches deep and throwing
the loose dirt upon the sod. The ground
was then planted in corn, which is grow
ing nicely and gives promise Of an abun-
dant yield. This is new departure in
breaking prairie, and is worthy the at.
tention of our farmers.

Usually our town il very quiet and
there is no need Of the marshal or police
to preserve order, but last Saturday ev.
ening was an exception to this general
rule. During the entertainment given
by the Peak family at the Masonic hall
the audience was continually annoyed
and insulted BY the boisterous conduct
Of several boys and young men. A few
arrests and punishment BY fine or i'm
prisonment for such conduct would
doubtless do much toward keeping down
rowdyism at public gatherings.
