Ice Yachts

Ice yachts cost from $15 to 81 900
each. When I mention the $15
boats, refer to those of our school
boy days, built of refuse boards,
with three-shilling skate runners,
using bent nails that the carpenters
had thrown away. What q contrast
to the ice yacht of the present day,
exquisitely shaped and lined, with
hull constructed of alternate strips
of hard wood, wire rigging, A No. 1
duck for sails, brass cleats. and
blocks, full sets of colors, splendid
spars, booms, bowspr't, polished
steel runners, nickel plated orna-
ments, buffalo robes, etc. The time
made by ice yachts is simply wonder
full. A mile minute is an every day
occurrence when the wind is in good
condition and the wind blows. In
the Winter of 1866 the ice yacht
Sno,ut7ake ran nine miles north, from
Newburg dock in 8 minutes! When
the ice is in good condition, and the
wind blows heavily, railroad trains
cannot compete with ice-packets in
point ofspeed. Time and again have
they run up alongside of trains on the
Hudson River Railroad, and beaten
them easily. On Jan. 10, 1871, the
Zp,yr, Icicle, both Foughkeepsie
ce-yachts, raced for two miles with
the Chicago express, the fastest train
on the Hudson River Railroad, and
at the end of two miles, had to wait
for the train to come up. Many
would suppose that great danger ex-
listed in consequence of the vessels
going with such lightning velocity.
Such is not the case, as nothing but
extreme carelessness, on the part of
the helmsman results in injuries.
With a light breeze the craft will
not carry over two persons to ad-
vantage. In heavy blow, however.
they will hold six or eight. In fact,
during the prevalence of heavy
wind, it is necessary to carry as many
in order to keep the vessel down.
upon the ice. What is meant by
keeping them down is. that unless
sufficient weight rests forward, the
windward runner will leave the ice,
and rise often to an angle of As de-
grees. This only occurs when .
sudden flaw of wind strikes the craft.
In such q case, although the helms
man does not lose control Of thew
sci, he is compelled to bring up in
the winds eye, or nearly so to get
her down again.-Brentono's Mo'sth-

The Frozen Truth.

Ever since the cold snap the Wash.
hoe and Piute Indians have been
selling jack rabbits in astonishing
quantities at figures which have ruled
considerably below their usual mar
ket prices. Bill Jackson, who has
been out hunting and prospecting
for week or ten days past, tells a
remarkable story in connection with
the bountiful supply of rabbits
which the Indians are furnishing.
A few days ago he visited Kings
Canyon, and there he asserts be
found acles of jack rabbits frozen
stiff On the ground. Rather than
shoulder the responsibility OF the re-
markable statement, the appeal
gives the yarn in Jackson's own
words:
"You see, the cold snap drove the
rabbits into the canyons out of the
wind. One moonlight night I came
across n drove of over 500 making
for the canyon. They were all hud-
died together, getting as much
warmth as possible from each others
bodies. The drove were packed
together as close as the threads of a
three-ply carpet, and as they moved
along they looked like big army
blanket drawn over the ground.
They passed close by me, and when
I fired into the drove with a shotgun,
eight or ten dropped, but the bal
ance closed right up and passed
on as before. I didn't think at the
time exactly what was up, but few
days ago 1 was up in Kings canyon,
and there I saw sight which was
the most uncommonest thing l ever
glued my eyes to. There wd the
of email huddled
together in a bunch, and packed
like sardincs, and every blasted one
of 'em froze stiff as a wedge. I
turned up the edge of the mass
with my gun, and broke off slice
with dozen in all stuck together.
Presently some Indians came along
and began to yell. They concluded
they'd struck meat bonanza, and
been,luggin' OF the rabbits
ever since. That's the reason rab-
bits are 50 cheap around the town.
Why, out in the brush you can find
whole gangs of 'em standin' on their
hind legs frozen stiff. I shot u
single one the other day 'sposin' he
was alive"
Other hunters report thousands OF
frozen jack-rabbits in Carson Valley
although none have as yet viewed
the astonishing sights described by
jackson. Hank Monk corroborates
Jackson's yarn, but says that the
present crisis in the affairs of the
jack -rabbits isn't to be compared
with the general destruction OF the
animals in 1869. He asserts that
"every darned rabbit on earth was
frozen stiff" Yesterday Hank had
more to say about rabbits: That's
all true what Jackson says, but he
hasn't told half. Yesterday seed
hundreds of them rabbits thawin'
out. 1t is fact. Whenever the
sun hit 'em hard they'd timber up,
give themselves q shake and skip
away for the sagebrush. Little gin
and sugar? Guess l Will.

ClrlzENsHIp OF WoMEN.-A CORE
spondent inquiries how women can
become citizens of the United States.
The Naturalization Law seems to
haye been devised for men only. 1t
nowhere provides that woman may
apply to be na,uraliZed, and there
may be room to doubt whether the
genera. rule that the masculine in
cludes the feminine applies to the
pronouu che" and the noun
man," az used under the head of
naturalization in the Revised Stat
ures. Wo do not remember ever
hearing Of the naturalization OF a
woman in San Francisco. The law
provides that the naturalization OF
the father carries with it that OF his
minor children residing in this coun-
try at the time; but no mention is
made of his wife, mother, adult
daughter, sister or other female re-
lativo residing with linn. Neither
do we find any provision that an alien
woman, by marrying all American
citizen and taking up her abode with
him in our country, becomes a citl-
zen. These matters have been neg
lected because women have seldom
been admitted to vote or hold office
but as they now may hold some Off
ces, such as teacher, clerk, deputy,
copyist and school superintendent,
the Federal law should be amended
in u liberal sense, SO as to confer
citizenship upon every white wo-
man who has taken up her permanent
residence in the United States, and
whose nearest male relative, such as
husband, son, father, brother, OF
brother-in-law, is citizen. Every
woman born in the Uuited States
is citizen, and as the inheritance

CUTTING GLASS WITH SCISSORS

CUTTING GLASS WITH SCISSORS
Many persons may not be aware
that glass can be cut under water,
with great ease, to almost any shape,
by simply using pair of shears or
strong scissors. In order to insure
success two points must be attended
to-frst and most important, the
glass must be kept level in the water
while the scissors are applied; and,
secondly, to avoid risk, it is better
to begin the cutting by taking off
small pieces at the corners and along
the edges, and SO reduce the shape
gradually to that required, as if any
attempt is made to cut the glass oil
at once to the shape as we should
cut q piece of cardboard, it will
most likely break where it is not
wanted. Some kinds of glass cut
much better than others, the softer
glasses being the best for this pur-
pose. The scissors need not be at all
sharp, as their action does not ap-
pear to depend on the state of the
edge presented to the glass. When
tho operation goes on we'll the glass
breaks away from the scissors in
small pieces in straight line with
the blades. This method of cutting
glass has often been OF service when
diamond has not been at hand,
for cutting ovals and segments, and
though the edges are not so smooth
as might be desired for some pur-
poses, yet it will answer in a great
many cases. The two hints given
above, if strictly followed, will in
sure success.

To Unmarried Ladies.

The following items of advice to
ladies remaining i'll state OF single
blessedness are extracted from the
manuscrip! of an old dowager:
If you have blue eyes, lanquish.
If black eyes, affect spirit.
If you have pretty feet, wear short
petticoats.
If YOU are the least doubtful as to
that point wear. them long.
If you have good teeth, don't for
get to laugh now and then.
If you have bad ones, you must
only simper.
While you are young, sit with
your face to the lighs
When you are little advanced,
sit with your back to the window.
If you have bad voice. always
speak in low tone.
Ii at is acknowledges that you
have 'iine voice, never speak in
high tone.
Ii you dance we'll, dance seldom.
If you dance i'll, never dance at
0u.H -En.AFfE ~ 3 90 'stt '+ .sA
II you sing we'll, make no puerile
excuses. ssss% t,gs~.
If you sing indifferently, hesitate
not a moment when you are asked,
for few persons are competent judges
of singing, but every one is sensible
of desire to please.
If in conversation you think per-
son wrong, rather hint at a differ
ence of opinion, than to offer con-
tradiction.
1t is always in your power to make
a friend by smiles; what folly to
make enemies by frowns.
When you have an opportunity to
praise, do it with all your heart.
When you are forced to blame, do
it with reluctance.
If you are envious of another wo-
man, never show it but by allowing
her every good quality and perfec-
ton except those which she really
possesses.
IF YOU wish to let the world know
that you are in love with a particular
man, treat him with formality, and
every one else with ease and free
dom.
If you are disposed to be pettish
or insolent, it is better to exercise
your i'll hunlor on Your dog, your
cat, Your servent. than on your
friend.
II you would preserve beauty, rise
early.
If you would preserve esteem, be
! gentle.
If you would obtain power, be
condescending.
If you would be happy, endeavol
to promote the happiness of others.

The Oregon Steam Navigation Co.

On the 5th instant, the directors
of the Oregon Steam Navigation Co.
elected the following officers for the
ensuing year: President, H. Vii
lard; Vice-President, j. N. Dolph;
General superintendent, George j.
Ainsworth; Secretary, G.. H. An
drews; Treasurer. Theodore Wy
giant. Mr.. Willard, the President,
came to Oregon and assumed the
management of tha East-Side rail-
road, at q time when there existed
q general dissatisfaction among the
people. Since that time there has
been but little cause of complaint and
the public wants been supplied. 1t
is to be hoped that he will equally
as satisfactorily conduct tleN- nffaifs
of the more extensive company of
which he has just been elected Pres
ident. The other officers are all cit
liens of Oregon, and are men much
esteemed. The Superintendent, Mr..
George j. Ainsworth, has held his
present position for some time, and
is the right man for the place, while
the selection of Mr.. Wygant is SIM
ply reward for a most faithful and
honorable officer.
A contemporary in alluding to the
retirement of Capt. j. G. Ainsworth,
who has been from its inception the
controlling spirit of the company,
says:
For mors than a quarter of q CEN
tury, Captain Ainsworth has been
actively engaged in steamboating in
Oreeon-tirst as master of tho Lot
Whicomb, launched at Milwaukee
on Dec. 25th, 1856; afterwards of
various other boats, until 1861, when,
upon the organization of the Oregon
Steam Navigation Company, he be-
como its President, which position
he has filed uninterruptedly until
wishing to retire from the cares of
active business, lie rendered his res
ignation. AS q servant of the pub
lie, Capt. Ainsworth has hidden his
final adieu, and we think it can be
said, without any fear of contradic-
ton, that he has discharged his du-
ties faithfully and well.
1t will usually be found that only
those achieve success, who deserve
success, and time will show that the
! policy OF Capt. Ainsworth and his
associates has been liberal and con-
siderate. 1t is worthy of remark
that the bearing of Capt. Ainswortl
towards his host OF employees has
always been kind and courteous.
