AnecdOte of Thackery.

A writer in Frazers Magazine tells
good anecdote of Thackeray, who was al
ways at one time a welcome guest at the
house Of Lady Ashburton, who was some
what free with her tongue and opinion Of
others.
Something that the saucy hostess said
offended her guest, and he not only de-
clined her invitations, but spoke Of her
with discourtesy. Some months after,
when his angry feelings had died out.
he received from Lady Ashburton card
of invitation to dinner. He returned it
with pen-and-ink drawing on the back.
representing himself kneeling at her feet
with his hair all aaame from the hot Goals
she was vigorously pouring On his head
out of an ornamental brazier. The hu-
morous expression Of contrition was fol-
lowed by complete reconciliation.
The satirlst and the lady continued a
warm friendship.

How Pottridge Spoiled His Luck.

Mr.. Thomas Pottridge, of Smallbor-
ough, had been renowned for, his con-
stant run of luck, 80 that at the age Of
forty he was reckoned the "warmest"
man therc-an alderman who had been
tu ice mayor of his city, church warden
and u very popular character among the
fair sex by reason Of his being bach
clor. One or two things more only were
wanted to complete his appiness-name-
ly, a good wife, a nice little estate in the
country, and the honor of knighthood.
Mr.. Pottridgc wished to become Sir
Thomas Pottridgc. Having long cher
ishcd this idea. and resolved, indeed, that
he would not propose for the hand of
pretty Miss Lucy Dott, the bankers
daughter, until he could make her lady
ship, Mr.. Pottrldgc ended by
thinking that he could best Sc
cure his object by causing him
self to be reelected mayor, and arran-
ing if possible that II. r. H. the Prince
of Wales should pay visit to Small
borough during the term of his Office.
Intent upon this scheme, Mr.. Pottridgc
came up to town to call upon Lord Bea-
consfeld. Lord Beacons&eld hearkened
kindly to the, grocers prayer. Small
borough was about to inaugurate some
public baths, the first establishment of
the kind ever seen IN the town, and moth
ing could be more suitable than that the
heir to the Throne should preside over
the ceremonial. Truly" said tho Pre-
mier politely, when he had heard the
Alderman speak, "thc cleanliness of the
people must always be a matter of inter-
csting concern to those who arc brought
into relations with them. l shall be
happy to take her majesty's commands
on Observation-Disclosures proposal
which you have lald before me-"
IF you can manage it my lord,
should be glad if the visit could take
place sometime after the 9th of Novem-
Der next, for shall be mayor then and
able to sec that the reception given is a
proper one
"Ah, quite so!' answered Lord Bea-
consfeld. dropping his eyeglass. for he
had studied MI. Pottridgc through, and
knew the man by heart.
Leaving Whitehall, Mr.. Pottridge
sauntered to wards Regent street, and as
he Walked along life seemed rosy to him
because Of Miss Dott. He began to stare
into the shop windows, adniring pretty
things which he was tempted to buy for
his love. He was turning over this fancy
and fumbling wistfully at the pocket
where his check-book lay when suddenly
he beheld through the window a curious
sight; An elegantly dressed lady was
seated at the counter examining pieces Of
Brussels lace. The sshopman averted his
head for an instant and she deftlys whipp-
cd up ayard Of the costly texture and
transferred it to her pocket. The shop
man spread a number of square fat bog
es containing cambria .handkerchiets and
once more turned away. Again the
lady's deft hand went to work and a
couple of handkerchiefs found their way
under her cloak.
"Now that woman must have capa
cious pockets" soliloquized the aston

A STRANGE RESCUE.

In the latter part of November, 1875,
three miners, named Mccoy, McCarty
and Mcdonald Gan odd mixture of Macs),
left the small mining town of White Oaks,
Navada, and started on a prospecting tour
among the mountains.
1t was not the most favorable season of
the year, tor it was late enough to expect
heavy falls of snow; but the miners were
somewhat excited over an account brought
them by a friendly Indian, of silver in
dications in the mountains. In fact, he
proved the genuineness Of his representa-
tions by showing some of the genuine
metal itself. Jim, as the red skin was
called, was known to be sober and trust
worthy; and, as he offered to guide his
friends to the spot, the offer was gladly
accepted.
They started with single 6eu,ro or
donkey, that was laden down with mln-
ing tools, powder and provisions. until
little more than the long ears were visi-
blc.. The men were accustomed to walk
ing, and they went afoot
On the third day, when they were close
upon their destination, singular acci-
dent befell Jim, the guide. He raised
bis rifle to shoot deer, when, Just as he
pulled the trigger, the foot of the Indian
slipped, and he rolled down prccipice
fully fifty feet high. By the time his
friends could reach him and lift him up,
he was dead.
This sad occurrence threw gloom over
the miners, and Mccoy, with the not
natural superstition Of the people, regard
cd 1t as an ill omen, and advocated re-
turn as soon as they could bury the re-
mains of their late comarade.
Mccoy, however was overruled by the
others, who thought it would be throwing
away an opportunity which might never
present itself again, as other miners would
be apt to discover and claim the lead.
Mccoy called their attention to the alarm
ing appearances of the weather. It had
been chilly and raw from the hour they
started; the sky was overcast, and there
was every promise of a coming storm.
But the other two Macs were deter
mined to push ahead, and the objector
consented to keep their company: That
night they camped at what they called
DEVILS Canon such sulphurous nam es
being in high favor In the mining countries
McCarty insisted that the broken ac-
count given by the Indian, Jim, located
the silver lead in canon, and they CON
cluded that this must be the one. & They
sat q long time around their campfire
specializing upon the riches which they
expected totgather during the next few
days, and building air-castles with all the
enjoyment of q lot Of schoolboys when
they attempt to pierce the great future.
At an early hour the miners were astir,
struck into the canon, all looking about
them for the expected indications.

They were only rod or two from shell
ter, but the snow was upon them before
they reached it. But the avalanche as it
may be called, did not fall at once; it be-
gan like torrent, rushing through a
bank, growing more massive, alarming
and stupenduous each second. Thus it
was the miners succeeded in plunging
into the cabin, head first, just in time.
The frightened men had barely oppor-
tunity to crawl into their prison, when
down came the main body of the avalanche
composed Of snow, ice, trees, earth, and
boulders, burying the party under depth
of forty feet.
The projecting rock and strong poles
saved the party from being crushed to
death. Some OF the supports gave way
unoer the enormous pressure, but con
siderable space was left in which the poor
fellows could move about.
It was dark as midnight, and as the
miners found they were all there unharm-
ed, they concluded they would be smoth-
cred to death, for it seemed that it would
take but a short time to use up all the air
at their command.
But this fear fortunately was unfound-
ed. There were crevices all along the
sides which admitted all the atmosphere
they needed; and, encouraged by the GER
talnty that imminent death was not i'm
pending, they began to dig out their pro-
visions. The regular supply was about
exhausted, and they were Immensely re-
licved when they brought out the carcass
of the mule.
The broken poles and supports fur
nlshed all the fuel they needed Tor cook
ing, which was the only necessity for fire.
There is warmth in snow, and it is we'll
known that animals have lived for weeks
securely protected from the wintry blasts
sweeping over the wastes above What
ever the Imprisoned miners suffered from,
it was sure not to be from cold.
The next natural proceeding was to at
tempt to dig their way out. With the
long poles at their command they delved
in different directions, but it was impos-
siblc to make any satisfactory progress.
They dreaded, IN case they worked any
distance from the shelter Of the rock, the
disturbance thus created would bring
down the thousands of tons above their
heads, and destroy them instantly and ut
terly as the Alpine avalanche overwhelms
the traveller. ->. ..-g- = s,..r. -.
They could barely distinguish the fad
ing out of the faint light at the crevices,
by which they knew when night had
come. -..4.~,
They tolled cautiously, and once, when
Mccoy had ventured a little too far, q

sound warned them of what was coming,

In the United States Senate, yester-
day, House bill to authorize the issue of
deposit in aid of the refunding of the
public debt was passed, with an amend
ment making the rate of interest on the
certificates four per cent. instead of three

the War Department. The resolution
of Mr.. Davis of West Va, was passed ,
instructing the committee on agriculture
to consider what can or ought to be done
by the general government to better ad-
vance, encourage and foster agricultural
interests.
In the House, motion to suspend the
rules and pass the bill repeating the law
