The Amended Bible;

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
According to statements, unofficial, but
apparently authentic, the revisers of the
New Testament have made alterations which
will excite some CONSERVATION and not q
little regret among all those who are fami-
liar with the authorized version. In the
Lords prayer, the concluding petition,
Deliver us from evil" is changed into
Deliver us from the evil one Ralf doz-
en- Of the most familiar texts in the New
Testament will disappear altogether. The
question "What shall it preft man if he
shall gain the whole world and lose his own
soul?' is metamorphosed into ''What doth
it profit a man to gain the whole world and
lose his own ife?" ''Hades' is substituted
for ''hell' in two we'll known passages. The
inscription on the altar to the. Unknown
God" will read ito an unknown Cod"
Apart from these textual alterations and
omissions, the revisers have abolished the
divisions into chapters and verses and print
ed the new version in paragraphs.

Nothing on Earth So Good.

Certainly strong opinion, said one of our
reporters to whom the following was detail
ed by Mr.. Henry Kaschop, with Mr.. Geo. E.
Miller, 41s Main St., this city: I suffered
so badly with Rheu,aatism in my leg last
winter, that ]. was unable to attend to my
work, being completely helpless. I heard
of St. Jacobs Oil and bought bottle; after
using which I felt greatly relieved. With
the use of the second bottle I was complete
lycured. Inmy estimation there is nothing
on earth SO good for Rheumatism as St. Ja-
cobs Oil. It acts like charm.

Ice Keeping.

There are three essentials for keeping ice,
to wit: l. A closet y- packed non conducting
substance surrounding the ice. 2. Perfect
drainage. at bottom without admitting air.
3. A free circulation of air over the top of
the upper packing OF covering. The non
conducting. substances most used are saw
dust, chatf, chopped straw, swamp moss
and spent tan. Sawdust is preferred, and
it should be ten or twelve inches thick be-
tween the board walls. If straw is used, it
should be cut Zip and packed between walls
eighteen or twenty inches apart. Fine clean
chatf answers good purpose.

Three Recipes to Cure COrns.

l.. Battle the corn with strong bolax
water; then shave it closely, but be careful
and do not make it bleed. Place over the
corn white felt corn plaster, and wear it
constantly until the corn has disappeared.
Every night and morning wet the small cav
ity over the corn land in the plaster with a
little borax water, or, if preferable, the
pulp of a lemon. The corn plaster can be
obtained at any druggists: 2. Keep the
feet clean by frequent additions of warm
water. and wear easy, soft boots or shoes.
Without the latter precauion, corns will
generally return even after they appear to
have been. perfectly removed: 8. After
soaking the feet in warm water for few
minutes pare the corns as close as possible
with sharp knife, taking care not to make
them bleed. Place upon the part affecteda
small, circular piece Of leather or buckskin,
spread with some emollient plaster and hav-
ing . hole in the center corresponding to
the size Of the corns. They may now be
touched with nitric acid, BY means of q
small glass rod or wood toothpick, due care
being taken not to- allow the liquid toscome
in contact with the neighboring parts. Re-

SAVED FROM ANsAYAIAKCAE.s =.

Two Prospectors Escape Terrible Death by
=; 'Cifnging TO- Slender Bushes.
From the Ieadville Democrat 2 ~
There are almost daily accounts received
IN this city of narrow escapes made by pros
pectors in the mountains from the terrible
snowslides, more frequent this year than
for many years previous, and Messrs. A.
Lafave and Walter Sterrock, who reached
this city yesterday, give graphic descrip-
ton Of their experience with one of the
white nonsterssweu worth relating in print.
|. These two gentlemen are interested" in
claims near the Mount Of the Holy Cross,
and last Tuesday, while they were on their
way, on snow shoes, from the Holy Cross
Mountain to Red Cliff, they were struck by
a snoWslide, under the following circum-
cipitous slope of French Mountain, which
is about 500 feet high, and when
about 800 feet from the top of the cliff,
which projects out from the summit of the
mountain, they heard the strange, fearful,
INDISPENSABLE sound which .foretells the
coming of the avalanche. They were short
distance apart when they heard the sound,
and without stopping to look up or waste a
moment in conjecture Lafave shouted to
Sterrock to grasp a bush protruding through
the snow, at the, sam moment clutching
with strong grip a sapling by which he was
standing. No man has ever yet described
an avalanche Of snow. No imagination has
ever conceived one. 1t is monstrous,
CHASTITY, terrible thing; literally death riding
on a pale horse sweeping all before it with
blind, swift rage. When these two men,
standing on five feet of snow and shudder-
ing with the awful fear which the bravest feel
in the presence Of impending death, grasp
ed the slender bushes on which they relied
to save them, they felt that they were in
the grasp of a power against which
human strength and cunning availed
but little and they closed their eyes
and bowed their heads to await the shock.
In an instant, like a bolt of tightening, the
avalanche was upon them and rolled in
great white waves over and around them.
They chung to the tough saplings with des-
perate: strength, completely submerged in
the snow, blinded and choking but know
ing that their lives depended upon the
strength of their grip. Their bodies were
swayed down the mountain and cruelty
anche, but they held to their anchorage and
in few seconds the great white wave pass
ed below them and left them stunned and
dazed, still holding to the bushes. The
snow swept on down the mountain like a
tidal wave, and when it reached the bottom,
piled up laye- upon layer, until there was a
huge mass of it lying there fifty feet in
thickness. When the two men were suffi
GENTLY recovered they proceeded to Red
Cliff, and yesterday Mr.. Lafave came to
Leadville where he described to the reporter
his perilous adventure and marrow escape.

LITTLE jake JONES.

How He Shocked His Dear old Grandmother in
Reading Recipe.
From the Detroit Free Press. -. ):
Old Mrs. Jones borrowed Mrs. Browns
recipe for making watermelon pickle the 9TH
er day, and, being hard of hearing, as she
couldn't see to read very well, she got her
grandson jake to read it for her. Jake took
the paper, like a duff ul child, and, holding
it upside down, commenced: :
"Takea green watermelon-".c
why, Jake ,ain't you mistaken? thought
the melon must be ripe"
"Oh, what's the matter wild yew! Gew ev-
er see watermelon that wusn't grean?'
"Cut the watermelon into four halves -
"But there amt only two halves to any
thing. I don't believe you are reading that,
jake" -. :.
well, you don't have to; anyway that's
what the reseet says. Then soak it in a
pint cup" 49,. :.
:"Oh, dear me! How in the world can YOU
put a watermelon in a pint cup?" sci
''Well, amt here to tell the whereases
and howfores. I'm just readin' the facts
and you can put in the filosofee to suit your
taste. After soakin the melon put it in q
skillet and fry it fur five days -.., u,
II wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such a
recipe as that?" said the: old lady; but Jake
kept on '.e.r o.-'
''Then put the watermelon in a.quart howl
and pour over one gallon Of vinegar, taking
care not to spill the vinegar"
''Id just like to know how you can pour
a gallon into quart bowl without splitting
any of it," but jake continued: ,., -, -.
''Then sift peck Of red pepper through
a milk strainer over the melon, and to one
cup of butter and the white and yolkes and
"a
hen that laid them, and four sticks. of Gin
namon drops and two tablespoonsful of
quinine and run it through coffee mill
and let it stand till it ferments, and then
put it in tin can and tie the can to a dogs
tail-tais will stir it up to the right consis-
tency-and then you can turn it off III crooks
and have it ready for use. Serve it cold

The Latest Thing Ont in Gloves.

FTOm Hafpefs BaZaf.
Tightly gloved hands, stiff and paral yzed,
as it were, in their kid castings, are no long
er modern, or considered elegant. The
peau de Suede glove reigns and triumphs,
to the exclusion of that of dress kid. For
mornings and afternoons, undressed kid
gloves of the natural or the medium color
are worn for dinners and soirees; they are
of light delicate tints, while for balls they
are white. In all circumstances they must
be very long, very loose, and without but
tons-three conditions essential at present
for elegance.

Our Mines,

The outlook for the future of Cherry
Creek is brighter to-day than at any
time since the District was discovered.
When spring fairly opens, and work
i'm the varions mines in the district
resumed, we shall hear but little of
our miners going off to Arizona, New
Mexico aud other remote sections in
search of what we have at home.
Old miners in this district well know
that there r now within n radius of
three miles, in the mineral belt back
of Cherry Creek six or eight as good
mines as TO be found anywhere In the
State, which n little capital would
i'm "A short time convert into bullion
producing properties. As our mines

aud richness, and the veins every
where are true assures. We think
that our district has passed is stag
nant period, and heneeforth, for
years to come, she will be on the ris-
ing scale. In a month or SO every
idle mar in our town, who wants
work, will be employed. We are
sanguine that this camp il just enter
ing upon an era of presently which,
while IL may not prove SO dazzling
as some of the camps in this State that
have passed away, will be far more
permanent.

Mrs. Anderson, and a two story build
ing owned by Il. +. Hardesty. We

THE COURT HOUSE CLIQUE.
How They RcveI in Luxury at the
COunty's Expense.

An indignant taxpayer from this
end of the county, who, a few days
ago returned from Hamilton, called
at the NEWS office yesterday and in a
fervid and graphic manner related
how luxuriously the streformp SER
wants of the county spend the dull
winter days and nights in the COM
Portable brick mansion, which stands
at the base of the snow-crowned dome
of Treasure Hill. He said ..They
have converted the Courthouse into
fashionable parlors of amusement.
The jury-room has been fitted up as
a billiard hall, a costly and elegant
table put in, a fine chandelier hung
up, rich and rare paintings adorn the
walls, a heavy Brussels carpet has
been laid down, and the place fitted
in such luxuriant style as only those
who are born to rule could wish for
and designp-and, said our visitor
''they were making arrangements to
tit up a private saloon in the Court
room, something after the style of the
fashionable select c~lnb-rooms in the
large cities. They mean to live wi hin
themselves, and for all the benefit
they confer on Hamilton the Court
house may as well be In the moon.n
Here our narrator heaved "A sigh, as if

THAT RAILROAD.
How to Draw the Bill so as to Pro-
tect the Taxpayers.

EDIToR News: The amendments proposed
to the Eureka and Colorado Railroad bill are
intended to relieve the taxpayers of the
county from any additional burden or rise in
taxation on account of the railroad. That
intention can be carried into effect by sections
properly drawn and embodied in the bill.
If the bonds TO be given by the county for
each %seventy-fve miles of road will be by the
bill conditioned to be paid out of the taxes
derived from and created by the railroad and
out of no other tax or fund or property of the
county, and such bonds are issued so condi-
toned, then the taxpayers need not be under
apprehension that payment of the bonds can
be enforced in any other way than the bond
specifies and declares.
If it be true that it Is only the wish of the
ineorporators to relieve the company from
taxation until 10000 0 worth of county bonds
will have been cancelled and used up in the
payment of the taxes levied on the road, the
county 10 ses nothing on one hand, except a
revenue from the taxes of the company until
the bonds are exhausted but on the other
hand there Is paid up stock to be given for
the bonds, and the benefits which are to be
derived from a railroad in the increase of
population and trade.
II the incorporators are sincere in the de-
sign which is set forth in their behalf to use
the county bonds only for tho payment of
taxes, and If the people are fearful that the
lending of the credit of the county on the
plan proposed may be but a snare. then the
direct relieving Of the company from taxation
hy anaatunanf for N liuaffod nao,har &c vaoea
would avoid the necessity of the issuing of
any bonds and more simply accomplish what
is required.
As there may be some technical difficulties
in the way of such direct action, one plan at
least may be suggested to satisfactorily ac-
eomplish the end proposed, namely, that the
taxes levied on the company's property shall
be paid by it in paid up stock of the company,
at its market value. dollar for dollar, each
year. Ifthe stock is Il cipher, a certain value
or price might be named at which the county
should rate the stock so taken in payment for
tho taxes.
II, in addition to the stock, which the COM
pany would set aside for the purpose, the
$4,000 of paid up capital stock are given TO
the county, for a right of way over iis terri
tory, it would be no doubt satisfactory, but
that no question Of value should be raised
than that of par. This plan of paying the
railroad tax. if adopted, would save the ex-
pensc Of issuing bonds aEd the trouble of
signing and taking care of them, cancelling
or uncancelling; would do away with the
making of a sinking fund, and the making of
the legal enaetmcnls necessary to guard the
county from imposition. or being liable in any
other way than by the amendments proposed.
No faith of the State shoald be pledged in
connection with the subject, either to fore
stall or impede legislation.
