THE INJURED TOPOGRAPHER.

The Carson Valley News of Friday furnishes
the following particulars of an Academic one
of the Wheeler Expedition:
In our last issue we alluded indefinitely to
this painful accident Subsequently, through
the kindness of Lieutenant Macomb, we have
been placed in possession of full particulars of
the sad misfortune.
The accident occurred at 5 o'clock P. NJ ,
Thursday Sept 9th, on what is sometimes
called "Kings Peak, a eliminating point on
the Sierra, between the head waters of the
Carson and Clark's Fork on the Stanislaus
river. 1t is customary for surveying parties
to erect q monument on every prominent
peak they visit, and while engaged i'll erect
ing monument of this kind the accident &C.
Cured Mr. w. M. Cowles, Photographer,
in attempting to remove a small stone 0 use
in the monument, loosened the support of a
large boulder weighing, it is estimated 800
pounds Cowles was carried before it over a
preciptous ledge of rocks twenty feet in hight,
both going down together. The unfortunate
man had both legs literally crushed between
the knees and ankles, besides sustaining other
ugly cuts and bruises from the fall. The
other members of the party Immediately came
to his relief and did all in their power to
alleviate his suffering. That evening he was
Iaken distance of about half mile to
deserted sheep ranch, and cared for
as best they could. The next day he
was taken to Dumont's wood camp,
three miles from where the accident occurred,
and placed in spring wagon and taken to the
main camp of the party. The following day,
Saturday, the Sth, he was placed in a spring
wagon and brought to Genoa, a distance of
81 miles, arriving here at O'Clock A. NJ,
last Sunday morning.
We visited Mr. c. at his room at Raycrafts
Exchange yesterday and found him in good
spirits and quite comfortable considering his
late rough usage. The removal from the
place of The accident to Genoa was nearly
death; but he is fast recovering, and Dr.
Smith, his medical attendant, seems highly
pleased with the symptoms.

1t reads and thinks, analyses and reflects.
The present drift of thought is rationalistic,
hard, critical Simple declaration arouses its
resentments as discord causes pain to the
nice ear of the virtuoso. If Christian piety
is what its advocates claim it to be, it owes it
to itself so to shape its duties and its minis
trations as to first win the respectful atten-
ton of men whose reasons as well as their
emotions are worth appealing to. Let preach
ing become one of the fine arts, and the di-
mansions of that needles eye will, we are con-
fdent, begreatly enlarged.

THURLOW WEEDS CLAIM TO BE EN-
ROLLED A VETERAN OF 1912.

Hon Thorlow Weed responds to the re-
quest of the Utica Herald for the names OF
the survivors of the war of 1872 in Central
New York, in characteristic letter, from
which the following is an extract: Although
it is sixty-three years since l was resident
of Utica, | am inclined to claim enrolment
among her veterans. In February, 1913,
while at work in the printing Office of Seward
& Williams, volunteers were called for to re-
pell an expected attack on Sackett's Harbor
by the British army from Kingston. William
Williams, one of my employers, promptly re-
sponded to the call, and with his permission
joined the corps. Colonel Seward, revo-
lutionary officer and father of my employer,
commanded our company. We were hurried
to the frontier in sleighs, serving till the alarm
was over when we returned to Utica, and
were honorably discharged. In September of
the same year, Captain Thomas Skinner s
company of artillery was called out for six
months campaign. l was then working for
Thomas Walker, in the office of the Column
bian Gazette Thomas Clark, Mr.. Walker
foreman, belonged to Captain SINNERS COM
pany, but as he could not be spared, and did
not care to go, was accepted as his substi-
tute. Captain Skinner, then practical law
yer, not going, the command of the company
devolved upon Lieutenant Eels, halter of
Whitesboro. John B. Pease, subsequently
Sheriff of Oneida, was our Second Lieutenant.
Philo White, who is named as a Supervisor,
was sergeant in our company. 1 served
through that campaign and was honorably
discharged. l submit, therefore, the question,
whether or not | belong to the Volunteer
Corps of Oneida, to the judgment of her cit
liens.
My old friend, Theodore S. Paxton, though
not in our company, served. volunteer at
the same time and place.
served another campaign in 1914 as Quar-
termaster's Sergeant in Col. Mayors regiment,
and was last year recognized as a survivor of
the war of 1912 from Herkimer. l lose no
pportunity-and this seems fitting one-to
pay tribute of affection and gratitude to the
memories of William Williams and Thomas
Walker, who in December, 1912, when an
unknown boy walked into Utica seeking en-
ployment, not only "took him in" but be-
came his lifelong friends.

Snow AND LEAVES. Says the Reveille OF
Thursday:
The locust trees are still in full and verdant
leaf, and the sight of the snow falling on
them yesterday was something extraordinary
and unprecedented as to almost constitute a
phenomenon. Old residents recall the occur
renee of snow storms in Austin in early Sep
TENDER but nothing of the kind has before
happened since the locust trees were planted.
Trees in full leaf and dotted with snow flakes
is something which probably could be seen in
no other than a mountain country.

In CoUNc1L.-Sitters are called stove herd
ers, in Austin Of council of the same and
an Autumnal session of the Club, the Reveille
says:
The cold snap still continues and fires are
still necessary to comfort. All the saloons
had fires in their stoves last night, and the
stove-h erders crowded around them numer-
ously and snapped the lies incident TO such
reunions. In the Sazerac Lying Club, the
President, on calling the Club to order, made
few remarks touching the weather, and con-
graduated the members on the return of the
season when they could swap their lies and
spit tobacco juice on the stove in peace and
comfort, concluding as follows: "Talk about
cold weather; you ducks don't know no more
about cold weather than hog does about
salvation! Why, back in Wisconsin it's so
cold they have to wrap the stoves in blankets
to keep EN- from freezin'. Mr.. Secretary,
call the roll"

4 "REMINISCENCES OF THACKERAY.

was talking with a talented artist last
night who knew Thackeray well, and he gave
beautiful and glowing account of the famous
| artists suppers in Rome, in which the great
English author was always prominent. Thack-
cray loved these gatherings, and entered with
his whole soul into them, and was as jolly as
the widest student in the crowd. Amid
clouds of tobacco smoke and sparkling wine
the art students at Rome in those days spent
glorious time at their reunions. Every man
present had to sing song, tell story, make
a speech, or failing to do one of these, drink
bumper of salt water The ARTIST with
whom | was conversing was fortunate enough
to be at some of these gatherings. He said
Thackeray always carried his sketch-book
along, and drew such figures as struck him in
the gay crowd, and afterward illustrated his
books with them. When my informant rela-
ted this to me | at once called to mind one of
Thackeray's caricature illustrations in Pen
dennis, at the beginning of the chapter headed
Negotiations" where Major Pendennis goes
to see the gallant Costigan and the great
''Fotheringay. 1t Represents little fellow
of rotund figure dressed in long coat and
waistcoat, holding cooked hat in one hand
and roll of papers in the other, and wearing
upon his head the long flowing wig of the
days of the Georges. He stands in pacific
attitude on battlefield, between two armies
who, with bayonets at charge, glare 81 cech
other furiously. l say, when this gentlema l
told me this l called to mind the illustration,
and recognize in the main figure the face of
the artist who gave me this Renaissance of the
great author! At one of these artists re-
unions Thackeray had seen the jolly face and
heard the jolly voice of Jack Elder, and jot-
ted him down in that sketch book, emblazon- |
ed him on page of 'Pendennis" as "nego-
tiator," and handed him down to posterity in
a wig of orthodox size and fashion, White |
