Winter on the Silver Mountains.
Virginia (NcyD Enterprise.

Mount Davidson yesterday wore IL
frosty old pow. Winter got up on the
peak and danced n jig. TO see the tall
pillars of snow chasing each other about
on the rocky apex of the mountain was
a reminder Of old times-of some of the
wild Winters Of former years. The top
of the mountain seems to be taken pos
session of by the winds as q playground.
There they halt on their long journey
eastward, form themselves into eddies
and waltz about for hours. The mantles
of light, dry snow in which they wrap
themselves ut these times enable us to
make out their forms. We see them
start on the crest of the mountain as
mere whirling specks, rising soon, like
the demon released from the ar by the
Oriental fisherman, till they tower far
towards the heavens, when they are
scooped up by winds that are rushing
post-haste to the far east and are car
ried along and showered down over the
town. In this way the winds and old
Mount Davidson frequently treat us TO
tirst-cass snow-storm when there Is
not cloud in the heavens. These
whirling snow-spOuts on the crest OF the
mountain present more beautiful APP
pearancc when the setting sun is behind
them. They are then so brightly light
ed up that they seem no longer snow,
but pillars of tire-whirl-winds of fame,
such as may be supposed to sweep over
the fiery plains of Old Sol himself

A STRIKING illustration of the use of
the telephone in case of emergency
was furnished by the recent terrible
diaster to the Moody and Sankey ex-
cursion train on the Shore Line road.
The first news came in the shape of a
dispatch to the Western Union Tele-
graph Office in Hartford from Taritfvllle,
stating that fearful accident had hap
pened at that place, and asking that rs
many surgeons rs could be obtained be
sent out ut once. The operator at Hart
ford Immediately telegraphed to lsac
d. Smiths Capitolavenue drug store,
with which the office is connected 10y
telephone, and the night clerk was
awakened and told what was wanted.
The drug store is connected by telephone
so that twenty one different physicians
could be summoned, which was done,
and at the same time the clerk "tele-
phoned" to livery stable for an express
wagon, into. which, on its, arrival, was
packed bandages, morphine, chloroform
and whatever was thought would be
needed. Meanwhile tbs doctors, as in,
structed went down to the Hartford de.
pot. Superintendent J. Il. McManus,
of the Hartford. Providence and Fish
kill road, had also been aroused, none
of the Connecticut Western people be
ing handy, and he had at once gone tG
work and cotton out an engine and
some vrecking cars, which he had al
ready on the arrival of the physicians
Extra passenger cars were also added
the bandages, drugs, &c, were taken
aboard, and about dozen doctors, ano
started for Tarrtlyille.

Hunter for the murder Of Armstrong,
the music printer, Hunter himself, took
the witness stand. He testified that
up to June l, 1875. he was Armstrong;
silent partner and had s5, 900 invested
in the business; that he at first only
intended to take out a policy Of life
insurance on Armstrong for $4,000,
but Armstrong persuaded him to make
it $26, 900 giving as reason theat if he
(Armstrong) were to die all his cred
itors would come in and his family
would suffer, Armstrong also offering to
pay part Of the premiums. Hunter
denied altogether having anything to

DRIFTING OUT TO SEA.

Original poem read by John B. Cook at tn
open meeting Of the M. s. r. A., on Frida,
evening, June 21st, 1879.
Compass gone, and reckoning lost.
Jib and mainsail torn;
On Life's ocean wildly tossed,
Swiftly onward borne.
Keeling under laundering shocks,
Whipped inhumanly, %
Driving on to treacherous rocks,
Drifting out to sea.
Plunging headlong through the gale
Swept by ruins breath;
Beat by rain, and snow, and hall,
Plunging down to death.
In the arms Of rolling mountains
Rocking helplessly,
Trembling at the storms loud shouting,
Drifting out to sea. +.
Dragging anchor, swapping hauser,
On to danger sweep:
As the shrieking storm grows h0arser
O'er the boiling deep.
HeadlOlg flung against the sky,
Straining fearfully,
To destruction drawing nigh,
Drifting out to sea.
Goaded on by wrathful billows,
Hurrying onward fast,
Timbers snapped like brittle willows,
Swamped and lost at last
And along the barren shore,
Rottening crafts will be,
They will cross our PROV no more
Drifting out to sea. ...4
Rum, as helmsman, did false steering,
Rum the hauser broke, |1'I
Rum deserted the breaker nearing,
Rum false soundings spoke,
Rum espied the storm arising,
Rum said onward fee,
And BY. devilish false surmising
Drifted out to sea.
Brother shun him as your pilot,
He will do you harm,
He Is worse than robber pirate,
He will seek the storm,
On to sunkel rocks he'll drive you
Master sore is he,
Every coming day will find you
Drifting out to sea.

The "PorrER1Nan INVESTIGATION.

The "PoTTERING" INvEsrIaATIoN.-
Before the Potter committee yesterday,
the examination of Mrs. Jenks was con-
tinued at some length, to the amuse-
ment O.. the committee and the specta-
tors. Mrs. jerks was as sarcastic as on
Saturday, ani took as much pains to
say smart things and create laugh.
She was, however, brought down to the
point of almost confessing that she wrote
the letter to Weber and Anderson, to
which Mr.. Sherman's name was attach
ed, declining to answer when asked If
she dictated it 'to her pen." Mr.. H.
". Boynton, Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, was the only
other witness examined besides Mrs.
Jenks. Mr.. Boynton was called to tes-
tify in reference to conversation be-
tween the President and him last year
with reference to the appointment Of
Anderson as consul TO Funchal, the
purport of which was that Anderson g
appointment had been made on account
of his services to the republican party.
In the course of his testimony Mr.. Beyn-
ton took offense at the loud manner in
which Gen. Butler addressed his ques
tions to him, and called him rowdy.
Gen. Butler excused himself by saying
that he had spoken in loud tone at
the request Of the witness. ~ F

UsURY IN PENNsYLvAN1A.-The Pitts.
burg Commercial says the somewhat
surprising fact has just transpired there
that the usury bill which was pending
before the last session of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature, and was supposed to
have been defeated, was actually pass
ed upon reconsideration. The bill, as
it Low stands, restricts the rate to 6
per cent, and makes its provisions
apply to all banking corporations in the
State, thus attacking the specially
chartered organizations, who, Of course,
will claim their vested rights. 1t is
hardly to be expected that such law
will stand the test of legal examination,
but its effects will be no less mischiev-
GUS and annoying.

THE Paris EXPOSITION And $S5. 900.
The bill now pending in both branches of
the Legislature, is styled, a bill providing for
the representation Of Minnesota products at
the Paris Exposition, and appropriates:
$4,000 for this purpose. It specifies the
products under general classification
the principal item consists of the seven Com
missioners, to be called, "French Worlds
Fair Commissioners" and it also provides
that the Governor shall nominate an honor
airy Commissioner, in addition, to be APP
pointed by the President, whose expenses
are to be limited to 81 200. The seven are
to have no pay except their actual expenses.
Everybody knows what actual expenses
means. These actual expenses will amount
to about 81, 800 each at the lowest calcula-
ton. The seven "French Worlds Fair
Managers" at this rate, will cost $1O,5OO,
and the additional 81, 200 for the "honorary
individual will make the sum total $11,7OO
as the cost of exhibiting themselves and
$13, 300 of other stuff.
But whether it is intended that the Seven
and the Honorary shall all go to Paris or
not, the whole scheme should be abandoned.
The taxpayers of Minnesota cannot afford
to pay $4,000 for poetic sentiment. The
people who 60 to Paris are not the people
who e1nigrate to the United States, and
every one knows that France is not an emil
grating country. The money, if expended
at all, should be expended in some practical
immigration plan.
According to the official reports to the
Legislature, it cost $1,138,511 to carry
on the State government for 1877
and the State debt has increased
from $25O,O0O, the original limit
to $572,1O8 Add the total county, city and
town debt, as nearly as ascertained, and We
have a grand total Of $5,363,419. Now with
this exhibit, can the tax paying people of this
State afford to pay 1926, 900 for fancy ex-
hibition at Paris? An appropriation Of
$4,000 would be amply sufficient, and the
expediency of any, under the circumstances
is extremely doubtful.
Should England 60 to war with Russia, il
would most likely plunge the Continent o.
Europe into hostihties-where then would
be the Paris exposition? We make no fac
tious opposition, but in the interests of tn
State and of taxpayers we protest agains
the bill before the Legislature, and on thei
behalf ask that it be indefinitely postponed
Let whatever can be afforded be used in Sc
curing immigration in our own country
