The Great Glacier in Alaska.

Thirty miles distant from Fort
Wrangle. on the Stickoen river, is the
great glacier. which the Indians regard
as a person6cation of a mighty ice
god, who has issued from his mountain
home, invested with a power before
which all nature bows in submission.
It's first appearance is that of a
mountain instead of a stream of ice;
and yet it is between two mountains
about three thousand feet high The
face of it at the base is five miles in
extent, and from five hundred to a
thousand feet in almost perpendicular
height, while the length of it is at
least forty miles. After one has
tramped through the wet bushes, and
over the millions Of tons of rocks and
gravel which it has pressed down, he
is ready to believe all he has heard of
this wonderful curiosity.
One can hear the deep, swift current
of water flowing through it. 1t is
described as sight of most imposing
grandeur, to be witnessed rather than
described. Into the river from the
opposite side flows a stream of hot
water from an immense boiling spring.
The legend runs that while pushing
his way through the canyon, the ice
god looked upon the domains of the
river god, and after conflict with
that deity, conquered him and spanned
the rivers breadth so completely that
the river god was forced to crawl
underneath. The Indians then sent
their medcine-man to learn how this
could be avoided. Tue answer came
that if a noble chief and fair maiden
would offer themselves as sacrifice
by taking passage under the long
winding ice-arch, his anger would be
appeased and the river be allowed tC
60 on its way undisturbed. The two
were found, the fatal journey was
made, and the ice has never agaiI
attempted to cross the river.

Kansas Manufacturing.

Empora Republican.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad shops at Topeka have just
turded out a complete passenger train,
every article of which, includes locomo-
tive, tender, baggage, postal cars and
passenger coaches, from the heaviest
work TO the most elaborate finish, in
cluding the very lanterns used by the
train hands, and excepting only the
paper wheels Of the baggage cars, was
manufactured entirely in Topeka. The
locomotive is named the William b.
Strong 1t has 18x2S inch cylinders
and SO inch drivers, and cost 1888,
against $4,000 charged for eastern
makes. The taygage cars, of which
twentyfour were built, cost 50 574 each,
the nine postal cars cost $3,7l4 each.
and the passenger coaches $4,000 each.
This experiment not only demonstrates
that the Topeka shops of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road have the
skill and facilities necessary for first
class locomotive and car work, but
that they can turn such work out
cheaper than the company can buy it
for III the eastern market. Kansas
manufactures are all right when the
necessary capital is used to carry them
On with.

Rochester Express: A certain news
paper man in the city was called upon
recently by telephone by man whose
wife had but just died. and given the
particulars from which he was to
write an obituary. Among the ques-
tions asked the soTrOwing widower
was this: "Was she well up to the time
she was taken sick?" 1t was enough
to make the corpse itself smile.
Steuben Republican: Noah Web
ster was a celebrated author. He was
quick and ready writer. and in one
OF his inspired moments he dashed OF
a dictionary. He took it to several
publishers, but they SHE'D at it, saying
the style was dull, tu1gid, dry, hard
and uninteresting, and besides that he
used too many big words. But at last
Noah succeeded, and the immortal
work is in daily Use, propping up babies
at the dinner table.
A pair of venerable twins held
family reception In Nashua, N. H., last
week. 1t was their eightieth birthday;
they have both been married twice,
both are now widowers. both are in
vigorous health, and both enter upon
another decade in the cheerful expecta-
tion Of living to the end of it. Among
the friends who called to congratulate
them was their brother, Samuel Ritchie
of Nashua, who is 50 years old.

a Little Too Bad.

Chicago Inter Ocean
1t is related of fan absent-minded
young lady that, having been duly mar
ried, she started off on her bridal tour.
The party stopped at Western City.
SO far SO good. Some time in the night
there came succession OF terrified
shrieks from the room occupied by the
bride and groom, and the clerks, port
ers and employees generally rushed up
stairs, only to meet a frantic female
figure, clad in white, fleeing in desper-
ate haste from her apartment, crying:
"Oh there's man in my rOOmp
The clerk rushed in and found the
groom half disrobed standing in the
middle Of the floor, one boot on and
the other in his hand, the picture of
amazement. He explained that he had
just come up stairs, and was in the act
of undressing (his wife had previously
retiredD when she suddenly awoke with
a shrek and fed.
"What was the matter?' asked the
clerk.
"Damfnc," said the husband.
Just then the bride, enveloped in u
huge bed dspread, procured for her by
the chambermaid, came back, looking
very red and foolish, and in half min
ute she explained the mystery by say
ing.
"Oh. Fred, forgot l was married,
and when l awOke, / was so fright
ened."

What the People Regret.

been an honorable and faithful soldier,
who had served his country and done
good service in war and peace; and yet
this court martial has dishonOrably dis
charged him from the army, thereby
aflixing a stigma of disgrace upon him ;
has stripped him of all pay and allow
ances due to or coming due to him,
and has sentenced him to eight years
of hard labor among the convicts of
the Albany penitentiary, and for what ?
For shooting at the miserable assassin,
Guiteau; for doing what every other
patriotic man would like to have done
for doing what would have been done
by the people themselves if the coward
ly assassin had not been protected by
police and soldiers from a righteous
retributiOn. There was no regret that
the old soldier shot at him, put there
was regret that he missed him.

Barnurn.

Says Gath: thought it looked like
second childhood, last night, when l
took my children to Barnum's circus
on the opening night, to see there
Grant and COnkling and Sickles, all
sitting together, looking at the horses,
while every one of them was an infer
ior parsonage. in the eyes of those
10000 to $4,000 people, to old Barnum
himself, who stepped into the ring.
after a grand bareback act, with his
head Of curly hair growing tloury with
time, thanked the audience for the
patronage he had received from them
for forty years. What politician has
lasted like old Barnum? And he is
no more of humbug than most Of
them.
