NeYada,s VALLEY of Death.

In the northeast corner of San Ber-
nardinO county, by the newly surveyed
line, partly, also, in the state of Nevada,
is region paralleled by few other spots
on The face of the earth. We say the
world is instinct with life. Here, if the
phraseolegy may be pardoned, is place
instinct with death. A huge basin, whose
rim is the ancient hills, stricken with the
barrenness of eternal desOlation, whose
bosom the blasted waste of the desert
treeless, shrubless and waterless, save a
few bitter pools like the lye of potash
water; surrounded by mountains that
tower thousands of feet above the sea
level, itself lying three u Ousand feet
above the sea. II is a very " Gehenna''-
place of death and bones. Birds do not
iV over it. Animals do not enter il.
Vegetation cannot exist in it. The broad
sands absorb the heat the bare mountains
reflect it, the unc3Ouded sun daily adds
TO it. Ninety degrees in the shade

hundred and forty degrees, that means

with madness, can endure 20 leDger,

swept mile after mile, on, ever on, over
the broad reach of the desert, bearing in
its black, whirliDg bosom-bisck as mid
night--dust, sand, alkali and death.
Sometimes murky clouds gather upon
the mountains above; then there is a
rush, a warning sigh of the winds. low
rumbling in the air; the hills culver,
the earth trembles, and a torrent, half
water, half mud, bounds from the hills,
leaps into the desert, plowiDg chasms
like river beds in loose sand. The clouds
scatter, the sun comes again, the eternal
thirst is not quenehed. The raging river
was only a dream. In the year 1849 q
party of emigrants entered the basin.
Day after day they toiled on, thiIsting,
dying. The pitiless mountain walled
them in no escape. One by one they
dropped and died. A few abandoned
every thing, scaled the mountains and
escaped. the others lie as they fell,
dried to mummies-nO birds even TO de-
YOUR their flesh; no beasts to prey upon
them. Wagon ties unrusted, gun bar
rels bright, unta>nished. Such is the
place. Mile after mile silence reigns;
siIence-and death. - Kennesaw Gazette.

MRS. HARDIN, who dwelt near Bijou
Basin, was left with her two children
just previous to the recent terrific snow
storm. The snow drifted and the wind
howled about her house. Her provisions
were nearly exhausted, and the fire was
dying out. The supply OF matches had
given out, and all the efforts of the
mother to infuse lie into the dying en-
bers in the stove proved fruitless. The
snow fell through the chimney and
smothered the fire, and, after an hours
effort to keep herself and the children
warm, the mother, brooding over the
possible result of the storm and wonder.
ing at her husbands long absence,
gathered her children in her arms and
ventured out into the storm, intending
to make an efFcrt to reach the house of
her father-in-law, which was three miles
distant. The next day her ifeless body
was found buried in the snow, cIasping
her two dead children.

Mr.. Collett's affairs. The group that sat
around him preserved decorous appear
ance of disinterestedness, and, the usual
preamble to the will having been listened
to with breathless attention, the man of
business resd the following, IN clear
voice:
"I bequeath to my niece, Emma
Briggs, Notwithstanding that she shocked
her family by marrying an Gilman, the
sum of s4, 600, being fully persuaded that
her lost dignity, if she could ever ind 1t
again, would do nothing to provide her
with food, or clothing, or shelter"
John Meade smiled and Peter Finch
ground his teeth, but in quite respect
able manner. The man of business went
on with his reading.
Having always had the opinion that
woman should be rendered a rational
and independent being--snd having duly
considered the fact that society practi-
cally denies her the right to earn her OWL
hving--I hereby bequeath to Mary SUIT
ton, the only child of my old friend,
Frederick Sutton, the sum of SI0, 600,
which will enable her TO marry or to
remain single as she may prefer"
John Meade gave prodigious start
upon hearing this, and Peter Finch
ground his teeth again, but in a manner
hardly perceptible. Both, however, by
a violent effort, kept silent. The man Of
business went on with his reading.
81 have paid some attention to the
character of my nephew, John Meade,
and have been grieved TO find him much
possessed with feeling of philanthropy
and with a general preference for what
ever is noble and true over what is base
and false. As these tendencies are by no
means such as can advance him in the
world, ! bequeath him the sum OF
10000, hoping that he will thus be
kept out of the woTkhouse, and be en-
bled TO paint his great historical picture,
which, as yet, he has only talked about"
Gas for my other nephew, Peter
Finch, he views all things ia so saga
cieus and selfish a way, and is so certain
to get on in life, that l should only insult
him by offering an aid which he does not
require yet, from his affectionste uncle,
and entirely as q testimony of admira-
ti0n for his mental acuteness, venture
to hope that he will accept a bequest of
S500 toward the completion of his ex-
tengive library of law books
How Peter Finch stormed and called
names, how John Meade broke into a
delirium of joy, how Mary Sutton cried
first and then laughed, and then laughed
and cried together; all these matters
shall not attempt to describe. Mary
Sutton is now Mrs. John Meade, and
her husband has actually begun TIE
great historical picture. Peter Finch
has taken to discounting bills and bring
ing actions on them, and drives about in
his brougham already.

1he Pleasure OF HANGING.

Some time since the American press
was discussing the question "Does it
hurt a man to hang him 81 The conclu-
sion arrived at seemed to be that hanging
was painless death. Now some of the
English magazines are speculating on the
sensation of a hanged person, and they
almost make out that hanging is rather a
pleasursble and desirable operation. One
person who was hung. to all intents and
purposes, and afterwards revived, de-
clared that he felt no pain, and his only
sensations were of fire before his eyes,
which changed first to black and then to
sky blue. These colors are even a source
of pleasure. A culprit who was revived
when almost dead, complained that,
having lost all pain in an instant, he had
been taken from a light of which the
charm defed description. Another crimi-
nal. who escaped through the breaking
of the halter, said that, alter a second or
two of suffering, light appeared. and
across it a most beautiful avenue of
trees" All sgree that the uneasiness is
quite momentary, that a pleasurable
leeling Immediately succeeds, that colors
of various hues start up before the eyes,
and that these having been gazed at for
limited space, the rest is oblivion.

AMONG the jewels presented by Lord
Roseberry to his wife, Miss Rothschild,
was the largest sapphire known. 1t was
brought to England sometime ago in its
rough state and for a long time remained
unstable as the dealers fancied they saw
in it flaw. At length one more cour-
ageoUs than the others purchased it for
1900, taking all the risk. On being
sent to the polisher it was found that the
defect was barely skin deep. Lord
Roseberry paid $4,000 for it, the same
price as the Duke of Westminster paid
some years ago for the largest known
turquoise. The sapphire is about the
size of large walnut; the turquoise, a
fatter stone, bas a somewhat larger
surface.
