UNPUBLISHED HISTORY.

Material wealth, history has shown,
as a luxury that the nations Of the
earth have enjoyed by turns, while
others, through food, pestilence or the
ravages of war, at the same period,
were plunged 10 AFFECT poverty and
misfortune.
Has not the hand of time crushed
the gorgeous palaces of ancient Rome
and Venice, leveling too Thebes' one
hundred gates and the suspended
gardens of Babylon, enshrouding the
memories of those splendors in robes
stained with crimes the recital of
which brings the blush of shame to
the check of virtuous humanity?
While the reader passes swiftly
with feelings of disgust over
those records which speak of the tur-
pitudes ofpast generations, he pauses
to admire the recital of deeds of he
roism and self-sacrifce and the exhi-
bition Of those virtueslwhich lift man
kind above the beast Of prey.
Thus it is that those nations are
richest, whose history commentaries
the most instances of deeds of pa
triotic vaIor and acts of magnanimi-
ty, which appeal to the minds and
hearts of their youths.
For the reason that noblesSe obijge,
is it wise to preserve and keep sacred
glorious records that have been and
can only be won through deeds Illus
trated by self abnegation and admira-
BILE devotion to duty and country,
Who can rightfully contend that
under a system of government such
as ours, where each State vies with
it's sisters in the race for power and
greatness, that for reasons OF policy
glorious memories should be effacea
and hidden from the knowledge OF
coming generations?
We therefore believe that every
proof of a peoples valor and virtues
whether displayed in success or mis-
fortune, should be held up that it
might be emblazoned on the evcrlgst-
ing pillars of fame.
1t was but few days ago, that we
received from our gallant C0mrade,
Lieut. Colonel Henry d. Monier, OF
the 10th Regiment Of Louisiana Vol
unteers, command that followed the
fortunes and shared the trials and
priyations Of the noble army of North
ern Virginia, the two General Orders
reproduced below which commence
rate the vaior of Louisiana's soldiers,
in the glowing and heart-dictated
words Of their commanders, Generals
John B. Gordon and C. A. Evans.
These were never, that we know
of, shown in the public prints. They
were treasured almost as priceless
gems by the brave veteran who
through kindness allows us to present
them to our readers.

The Arctic Winter.

Lieutenant Schwatka, the Arctic ex-
plorer, gives some interesting facts in
regard to the character and duration of
the Arctic winter. He says:
''The generally received opinion that
the Arctic winter, especially in the
higher ATTITUDES, is long, dreary one
of perfect opaque darkness is not strict
ly correct. In latitude eighty-three de-
grees twenty minutes twenty seconds
North. the highest point ever reached
by man. there are four hours and for
ty-two minutes of twilight on Deem
Der %, the shortest day in the year in
the Northern Hemisphere. In latitude
eighty-two degrees twenty-seven min
utes North, the highest point where
white men have wintered, there
are six hours and two min
utes in the shortest day, and 1923 geo.
graphical miles from that point must
yet be attained before the true Plutonic
zone, or that one in which there is no
twilight whatsoever, even upon the
shortest dav of the year, can be said to
have been entered by man. of course,
about the beginning and ending of this
twilight it is very feeble and easily ex-
tinguished by even the slightest mists;
but nevertheless. it exists, and is very
appreciable on clear cold days, or
nights. properly speaking. The North
Pole itself is only shrouded in perfect
blackness from November l3 to January

OF uniformly varying twilight. the Pole
has about 1873 days of continuous day
light, 100 days of varying twilight and
seventy-seven of perfect inky darkness

a typical year. During the period of q
little over four days the sun shines con.

In the Home Of the Rather.

The table lands of the Lackawanna
Valley lie several hundred feet above
this village, although only few miles
distant. Some time ago the old tannery
and excelsior mill in that neighborhood
discontinued operations, and these
heights have since grown up with a
thick covering of scrub oak. pine and
chestnut. which renders travel through
them exceedingly difficult. The farms
of the residents of the valley jut up
against the heights. One of the we'll
known tillers of the soil of that region
is Christopher Columbus Smith, famil-
iarly known as ''Clum'' Smith. He has
a celebrated dog, nlcknamed Old Abe,
that has won renown as hunter of
both woodchucks and rattlesnakes.
Mr.. Smith is very proud of dog with
these dual accomplishments, and en-
courages him at every opportunity in
his expeditions. One day this week
''Clum'' heard Old Abe barking among
the rocks on the farm of his leighbor,
P. D. Turner. Seeing that gentleman
he exclaimed:
''That tarnal dorg is after wood
chuck agin: let's 60 and git him out"
Agricultural operations were at once
suspended, and both men started for
the ledge, behind which the dog con-
tinued to bark. AS they approached the
spot peculiar whizzing sound, like the
noise produced by buzz saw, fell upon
their ears.
'.Hullo - Clum exclaimed; II guess
we'll hev some rattler grease instead of
the roast"
Coming into position to view the
space beneath the ledge, the men saw
four large rattlesnakes coiled up at the
entrance, while Old Abe. a few feet
distant. was waking the echoes with his
baying. Clum took in the fine con-
dition of the snakes at glance, and be-
gan a mental calculation as to the best
method to be employed to secure the
prizes without allowing them to bite
themselves and destroy their value.
Seeing boy down in the valley, he
called to him to 90 after the gun in the
house. While his errand was being
executed, the two men; with the aid of
forked sticks, dragged out three of the
snakes and turned them over to the
dog, which killed them. On the arrival
of the gun the head of the fourth was
blown off. A fifth and sixth RATHER
appeared and were disposed of. Deep
down under the rock the music of other
rattlers was heard, and the men con-
Guided to follow up the noise. With
strong prizes they tugged at the huge
rocks, and as they worked other snakes,
large and small, came to view. These
were killed by Old Abe and the boy.
AS they got further down a knot of
snakes was uncovered. whose proper
lions fairly staggered the hunters.
Then was begun an indiscriminate
slaughter. The men with gun and
sticks, the boy with pieces of rock. and
Old Abe with his teeth, continued the
fight until not RATHER remained alive.
A count revealed seventy-one dead
snakes, and the largest being eight feet
in length.
THAT dorg is the tarnalest snake
critter out said Clum as he inspected
the heap of reptiles. which still con-
tinued to twist and turn: "but it isn't
every day he's got the opportunity to
whip his weig bit of the varmints.

Chinese Printers in Truckee.

The Truckee Lumber Company has a
printing office of its own in little room
off from the box factory, but instead of
printing newspapers or letter-heads, or
wedding cards, it prints boards, and is
run by two Chinese pressmen-one who
feeds the pine slabs and the other who
piles them in heaps after they tumble
out of the press. The boards are laid
on table SO as to press against little

a zinc plate is fastened, upon which is
cut the design to be printed. The lower

resting on rubber springs an inch thick.

Even if she meets with the rebuff of q
deat-and-dumb neighbor, she need not
feel heart-brOken; she is right, and the
silent one is wrong.
In seeking introductions for ourselves
while we need not be shy of making a
first visit or asking for an introduction.
if there be no blot on our 'scutcheon,"
we should not advocate "push." There
are instincts in the humblest under
standing which will tell us where to
draw the line. If a person is socially
more prominent than ourselves, more
distinguished in any way, we should
not be violently anxious to take the
first step. We should wait until some
happy chance has brought us together,
for we must be as firm in our self
respect as our neighbor is in her ex-
alted position. Wealth has very little
power in this land to give a person an ex-
ciusively fashionable position. Character
old family, breeding, culture-all must
help. An aristocrat who is such by
virtue of an old and honored name is a
power in the newest society as in The
oldest; but it is 3 shadowy power-felt
rather than described. Education is
always power; and there is third
power, known in large cities. composed
of those who have wealth, position and
considerable cruelty; who are known as
the fashionable set; who can form a
sort of alliance, offensive and defensive:
who eau give balls and parties and keep
other people out; who are too much
courted. feared, and dreaded. If those
who desire an introduction to this cir
Gle strives too much. they will be sure
to be snubbed. for this circle lives by
