The Geneva correspondent of the London
Times sends the following account of the re-
cent catastrophe at Elm by which between
one hundred and fifty and two hundred lives
were lost
''Next to the rain the chief cause of the
terrible catastrophe which has overwhelmed
Elm is said to be injudcious quarrying for
slate, whereby the mountain was in part un-
dermined, and so rendered unsafe. Some
three years ago ominous signs Of danger
were observed, and the cantonal forest mas
ter Herr Seeli warned the proprietors of the
quarries that they were carrying on their ex-
caYations beyond the bounds of safety. The
work went on without interruption until last
Thursday, when the premonitions of disaster
became SO alarming that all the men were
withdrawn from the quarries; yet no one
seems to have thought the village was in dan
ger until Sunday afternoon, when, as the peo-
pie were coming from church, a quantity of
stones rolling from the Ischingel crushed sew
eral houses in Unterthal nearest the foot Of
the Alp. Ten minutes later came the great
catastrophe; a thunderous noise rent the
air, black dust-cloud overspread the valley,
and all was still. In those two or three sec
onds Unterthal had disappeared, and with it
were buried nearly every one of the unfortun-
ates, who few minutes previously were wor-
shipping in tho village church Scarcely
any, in fact, who on the first alarm crossed
the Sernft, either out of curiosity or fear to
lend helping hand to those whose houses
had been struck escaped, and they include
nearly all the manhood of the village. The
proprietor of the Elm Hotel was thrown by
the conclusion of sir from the iron bridge
over the Sernft into the stream and drowned
His brother, who had reached the Unterthal
side, was crushed beneath fragment of
rock. In one house there was a christening
party of fifteen persons, mostly kinsfolk, all
of whom, save the child's father, were killed !;
at one stroke he was bereft of family rela-
tiyes and estate. His house is gone, and his

fields are buried under the wreck of the
mountain. From the first, rescue though
energetically attempted, was seen TO be hope
less rocks and earth are piled over Unlcr-
thai to a height Of so feet, and the area COW
cred by the debris is computed at from six to
eight square miles. The statement that two
or three Of the victims had been taken from
the ruins alive has not been confirmed, and
the dead are mutilated beyond the possibility
Of recognition. II adds another pang TO the
grief Of the bereaved to know that even IL
their dead should be found they will be una
BILE TO claim them.
"a correspondent of the Neue Ziricher
Zeitung, who visited Elm on Tuesday de-
scribes the scene as weird wild and mean-
choly beyond the power of words to express
Above the rolling clouds which hung about
the skirts of the mountain rose the white
summit of the Plattenberg Every few min
utes a great fragment of rock thundered
down the side of the Tsehingler Alp Where
Unterthal had been was a mass of stones and
earth as high as the church steeple. great
part of the village on the other side of the
stream was under water, and the Sernf, forced
from its bed, was vainly dashing itself against
the distractions that barred its way. Through
driving rain men were carrying shapeess
bodies and laying them in the church. one of
the few buildings which have escaped de-
struction. A weeping woman was searching
among the ruins for some vestige of her lost
little ones, and an old man, whose wife, chill
dren, and grandchildren had all perished to-
gether, was wandering about needless of ev-
erything, praying that the rocks might crush
him also. But except these two the villagers,
fearing another earthslip, had fed"

The snake nIrcr FaII..

For two or three miles above Shoshone
Falls the river flows through immense chasms
with walls ON either side hundreds of feet
high. The river is full OF rapids for miles,
the descent being 30 great At the upper
Shoshone Falls, known as Twin or Little
Falls, the river is divided by an island, and
the two streams rush over the precipice and
fall into the pool 175 feet below. As viewed
from the bluffs, hundreds of feet above, the
sight is grand, and from below there is still
more TO admire and to awe the visitor.
Somo four or five miles down the river and we
come to the great falls, where the entire
river descends in one sheet 2l0 feet. We
remember roaming around Niagara Falls, the
rapids and other places of interest for several
days once, and with all that there is to ad-
mire and excite our wonder, there is as
much, if not more, to interest the visitor to
this portion of Snake River, and should this
place be connected by railway with the out
side world, this will become a great resort
for travellers. Some thirty or forty miles
further down stream is Solomon Falls ex-
tending quite a distance. The greatest of
these falls is only about twenty feet, but the
forms and the great number of the falls aud
cascades make it very beautiful. But short
distance above these falls is the most remark
able sight we have ever seen. In the high
bluffs along the river there issue numerous
Bitae hBAlhBbi NhS Va NhASh Ahh OhtA
the rocks and are lashed to silvery streams
and spray in their descent. The first of these
pours over a cliff in semicircular form and
falls over 200 feet As seen from the oppo-
site side of the river it is very beautiful.
Further down the river is a much grRnder
sight. stream Of water, equal to that of a
small river, pours out of the bank and falls
over the rocks in silvery streams Of almost
every conceivable shape and form, while the
spaces between are lined with green moss
and shrubs; so that it presents an appear
ance Of an immense grotto. These falls COW
er q space of over 100 feet in height and sew
eral hundred feet in width. Further down
the stream for over one mile other similar
springs issue, and each possesses its own fea-
lures of beauty Where this vast body of
water comes from is a question that will
probably never be solved. Lost River enters
the Snake River Valley at point up stream
over 100 miles distant and there sinks out of
sight in the lava. Other streams along the
western and northern border of this vast lava
plain for a distance of nearly 200 miles come
in from the mountains and sink. These uni
ted streams would probably furnish as much
water as pours out of these springs but no
single one of these streams would supply any
of the larger springs; SO it is only specula-
ton to assume that the source of supply
comes from any particular stream. Omaha

hObts
Ere pales In heaven the morning star,
bird, the loneliest Of its kind,
Hears Dawn's faint football from afar
While all It's mates are dumb and blind.
IL Is a wee, sad-colored thing,
As shy and secret as a maid,
That, ere In choir the robins sing,
Pipes its own name like one afraid.
II seems pain-prompted to repeat
The story Of some ancient Ill;
But Ph0bel Ph0bcl sadly sweet,
Is all 1t says, and then is still.
It calls and listens: Earth aud sky,
flushed by the pathos Of its fate,
Listen: no whisper Of reply
Comes from Its doOm-dissevered mate.
Phobe It calls and calls again;
And ovid, could be but have heard,
Had hung legendary pain
About the memory Of the bird;
A pain articulate so long
In penance Of some moldered crime
Whose ghost still flies the Furies' thong
Down the waste solitudes Of Time;
waif Of the young worlds wonder-hour,
When gods found mortal maidens fair,
And will malign was Joined with power
loves kindly laws to overbear.
Like Progne, did it feel the stress
And coil Of the prevailing words
Close round its being and compress
Mans ampler nature TO birds2
One only memory left Of all
The motley crowd Of vanished scenes,
Her's-aud vain impulse to recall
By repetition what It means.
Phobe is all It has to say
In plaintive cadence DER and DER,
Like children that have lost their way,
And know their names but nothing more.
Is It type, since Natures Tyre
Vibrates to every note in man,
OF that Unsuitable desire,
Meant to be so, since life began7
/, in strange lands at gray Of dawn,
Wakeful, have heard that fruitless plant,
Through Memory's chambers deep withdrawn,
Renew its iterations faint.
So nighl yet from remotest years
II seems TO draw its magic, rife
With longings unappeased and tears
Drawn from the very source Of life.

A CAPABLE NEoRo.-The story of s. A.
Butler, as given in the Southern Workman,
reads like a romance. He is a negro reared
in the United States, being the son of a
preacher in Washington. He was educated
in Paris and became master of the French,
German and Italian languages. Attracting
Anson Burlingame's attention, he made him
his private secretary when he was appointed
minister to China Not long after Butler
left the service of the embassy and held po-
sitions in one of the great American trading
houses, and later with the Shanghai naviga-
tion company. Finally the steamers of the
company were bought by a number of Chi
nese merchants, who took Butler into their
employ and gave him full authority to reor-
ganize the steam service as he thought best
Butler fully vindcated the confidence re-
posed in him, and managed the affairs of the
company SO judiciously that at the end of two
years it had gained a net profit of 81, ,OOO,-
600, with every indication of heavy dividends
in the future. The company now owns
thirty-six steamers, and is becoming a form
idable rival of European steamship owners,
with whom is destined to arise a vigorous
struggle for supremacy on the Pacific. But
Ter is the moving spirit in all the enterprises
of the company, and his career, as a whole,
furnishes a splendid commentary on the
possibilities of the African race when similar
advantages are extended to them as are en-
joyed by the whites.
