a depends upon his being well shod.
Therefore the Swiss guides wear
heavy shoes with sharp spikes in the
coles.
On o bright July morning fam
Gus scientist Of England started
with two gentlemen to ascend the
the Piz Morteratsch, q steep and
lofty snow clad mountain in Switz-
erlsnd. Though experienced noun
tAineers, they took with them Jenni,
the boldest guide in that district.
After reaching the summit of the
Horteratsch, they started back, and
soon arrived at a steep slope cover
cd with thin snow. They were lash
together with q strong rope, which
was tied to each mans waist.
"Keep carefully in my steps, gen.
1emen," said Jenni, "for false step
might start the snow and send US
down in an avalanche"
He had scarcely spoken when the
whole field of snow began to slide
down the icy mountain side, carry
ing the unfortunate climbers with
J. at terrible pace. A sleeper
slope was before them, and at the
end of it precipice. The three
foremost men were almost buried in
the whirling snow. Below them
were the jaws of death. Everything
depends on getting foothold. Jenni
shouted loudly, "IIalt! haiti" and
with desperate energy drove the
iron spikes of his shoes into the firm
ice beneath the moving snow.
Within a few rods Of the preci-
pice Jenni got hold with his feet,
and was able to bring the party all
up standing, when two seconds more
would have swept them into the
ohasm.
This breadth escape shows
the value of being we'll shod when
in dangerous places. Life is full
Of dangerous places, especially for
the young. No boy is prepared
for periIous climbing unless he is
well shod with Christian principles.
Sometimes temptation ices the track
under him, and then he must plant
his feet down with an iron heel, or
he is gone.
A poor boy of my acquaintance
signed a pledge never to taste liqu.
or. One day his rio employer in
vited him to dinner. There was
wine on the table, but the lad was
not ashamed to say, "No, l thank
you, sir; l never touch it," Then
came on rich pudding, which he
tasted, and finding that there was
brandy in it. he quietly laid the
tasted morsel back on his plate.
The employer discovered that the
boy had pluck enough to stand by
his convictions, and he will never
be afraid to trust him. He is sure
footed boy.
God knows what steep places lie
before us. He has provided the
shoes of iron and brass for us to
put on. They are truth, and hon
esty, and faith, and courage, and
prayer.
A clear conscience will keep the
head cool. And up.along the hard
road there is sign board on which
is written, in large letters, Gle that
walketh uprightly, walketh surely

Guttteau Indicted.

grand jury having seen additiodal wit
Oe5ses concluded the Guitteau case, and
voted unanimously q true bill, but did
DOT report at once to court. Some believe
that Gui:teau wi be arraigned before the
court adjourns today to thwsrt any in

mac depot, on or about the End of July,
1881. There is absolute reticenee In re-
gard to the arrangement of the assassin
in open court. As much as possible the
public will be deceived as to the time, SO
that a disorderly crowd may be pre-
vented from assem- bling on the road from
the jail and in the court room. Guitteau
becomes more and more demoreIized
each day. He is not reconciled to the
fact that Mr.. Scoville will be his only
Counsel. At frat no scornfHlly rejected
him as Of toe little reputation, but he ap-
pears very anxious now that he should
come. He says ne is willing to submit
10 any line Of defense selected, although
ne scouts the idea that he is really in
sane.

The President.

New York, 4.-The President was so
absorbed in finishing his private business
that he did not drive out as he had in
tended, but confined himself to his study
In order thst all preparations for his de-
psrtHre might be arranged by tonight.
Tomorrow afternoon he will take the
train for Washington, SO that all specu.
lations as to his connection with the state
convention will be set at rest. The Pres
ident, tomorrow, will proceed directly
from his residence to Desbrossss street
ferry, and will take the Pennsylvania
Railroad, at jersey City. He will be
escorted to the depot by Police Commis-
siener French only, as he is desirieus of
leaving as quietly as possible. It is not
likely that he will return to the city after
the extra session of the Senate, but will
remain at the White House.
Relative to the rumored understanding
between the President and ex-senator
Conkling in regard to the state conven-
ton, by which the latter should arrive
in this city. After the departure Of the
President, it was stated, the Telegram
says, in most positive terms, this evening,
by one of the Presidents confidential ad-
visers, that COnkling will not come to the

Base Ball.

Yale Defeats Dartmouth by Score OF
On account of the threatening weather and
the annual examinations the attendance at
the game yesterday afternoon was quite light
AS the Dartmouth team was saving its
strength for the Princeton game at Princeton
to-day, the substitute pitcher and catcher
were presented.
Yale won the toss and sent Dartmouth to
the bat and run was scored on errors.
The Dartmouth men were unable to hit
Hutchinson and secured but five base hits dur
ing the game. The fielding of the Yale nine
was excellent, excepting that of Ives, who
made three errors and had seven passed balls,
thus letting in most of the runs of the Dart
mouth nine. In the fourth and fifth innings
Yale merely toyed with the Dartmouth pitcher,
and they even struck at every ball pitched in
order to get the side out as quickly as posi-
BILE. After five innings had been played, and
there was no further danger that the game
would not count as a game, the men braced
and worked. The playing of Camp, Hopkins
and Walden was excellent, also that of Rund-
lett and Cushman. AS Amherst defeated
Princeton by score of o to yesterday, the
prospect brightens of Yale gaining the covet-
ed championship, but she has two games to
play as yet with the strong nine of Amherst
Following is the complete score:
