A Sncwba:l Boomerang.
lNeva. la letter.

Two miners living on Alum creek
went up to the mountain above their
cabin last week to set some stakes.
After their work was done one of them
made SNOWFALL and threw it at the
other, who returned the fire. One OF
the balls lodged ON slope more than q
mile long directly above their cabin.
The sun was sh n ng brightly and the
snow was soft. Fer second the ball
rested where it fell, and then it began
to roll, increasing. in bulk as it went.
Presently the ball, OF ce held in mans
hand, grew to the size of q hogs
head, and when q furious momen-
tum had been gained it burst into
several pieces, each of which continued
rolling until strip of ground 100 feet
wide was cleared of snow. In the r
descent these huge snowballs picked
up rocks and earth until, merging in
one immense mass, the avalanche, bear
ing down giant trees and stumps, struck
the cabin of the men who started it
and carried it away as easily as if it had
becn made of paper. Everything in
the path of the slide was swept to the
bed Of the strea and buriel fifty feet
deep III snow. The miners watched
the havoc they had wrought, and, after
examining the spot whore once their
cabin stood, they started for Hawthorne
for q tent and blankets.

Another Lincoln story.
New York Times.


Here is new Lincoln story, properly
authenticated, suitable for publication
about this time, as the old almanac,
used to h We it.: just after the publi-
cation of Secretary Chases exceedingly
able tire asury report in 1868, and when
the secretary was known to have the
presidential bee buzzing in his bonnet,
q jealous friend Of the president went
to him Uincoln) with suggestion that
Mr.. Chase should be looked after; lie
was using his power as secretary of the
treasury to further his own ambitious
schemes. Lincoln laughed shrewdly,
and brought out the inevitable story of
which he was reminded.
An Illinois farmer, tilling few acres
of land and employing only one poor
old horse, was plowing one day, while
his son regarded the operation from the
nearest fence. Suddenly the old, spirit
less horse pricked up his ears and
started briskly onward in the furrow,
almost dragging the old man at the
plow-tail around the land. The lad
surveyed the unusual sight from the
fence, the old man having hard work
to keep up as the horse went flying
around, and then he cried out: Say.
dad, why don't you brush Off that gad-
fly on old Dobbin's back?" As he Lew
past the old man replied: Il never saw
Dobbin doing SO we'll before. Let the
gad-hy be-" How Lincoln made the
application any man can tell. And if
there are any high officials so troubled
with the presidential gad-Ay that they
are doing unusually we'll, it were pity
to disturb them now.

4 WOnans Ready Wit.

Speaking Of Washington reminds me
of story heard the other dav about
a lady, the wife of an ex-Cnited States
minister, who is made the heroine OF
most OF the stories of eccentricitv that
amuse society. The lady was in Lon
don last year, and We heard much of
her from the other side. OF course she
wished to attend one of her majesty 6
drawing rooms, and she found little
difficulty In obtain ng an invitation.
One Of tie pecnl l.arities of this lady is
her manner of dressing She wears
what she likes, AMI never seems to
think whether it IS appropriate or not.
AS every one knows, no one is allowed
to appear before the queen except in
a dress with train 1t used to be that
a low neck was required, bat that is
not absolutely necessary now. To the
surprise OF every one Mrs. - ar
rived at court in o short dress, with Q
.-ad shawl thrown care essly over her
arm. The eyeglasses of the aristocracy
were at once leveled upon her. That
sort of attention, however, never gives
her any discontinue.
But she was flying in the face of
court etiquette, and tie American
minister was called upon. He i'm
mediately sent one of his Sc .retaries to
expostulate with Mrs. -, and urged
her to return to her lodgings. Not
she. There was no social bull that
she could not take b.. the horns. No
little thing such a' the wat of q train
was going to drive her out after she
once got to court. In the twinkling of
an eye, and before the whole drawing
room, she took the shawl from her arm,
shook it out at full length and pinned
the ends to her shoulders; and then,
with careless glance at her impro-
vised train, she took the arm of the
secretary and sailed into the royal
presence, not the slightest bit disturbed
by the peculiarly of her drapery.
Possibly the queen did not notice it,
for ones back is never turned to
royalty. If she had, l think her sense
of humor would have overcome her an
uOyauce,

mrs. J0hn Jacob .Astor.
New York Letter to Troy Times.l

New York Letter tn Troy Times.
The illness Of this much esteemed
woman, though not of dangerous
character. is sufficient to awaken some
apprehensions in Fifth avenue circles.
The family occupies spacious. but
pla n looking house, whose brick front
presents q marked contrast with the
marble palaces which abound in that
center Of wealth and fashion. John
Jacob. however, is a plain man and had
sufficient independence to indicate this
by his style Of building. The family
lives in handsome but not lavish style,
aud there are probably fifty families in
the avenue that spend more money
during the course OF the year. The
only noticeable extravaganza is Mrs.
Astor's diamonds. She has o passion
for precious stones, in which she has
invested TO the extent Of $3.50, 600; but
they are good property and can at any
time DO turned into cash.
Mrs. Astor, whose maiden name was
Gibbs, was married under the very
shadow OF death-the original John
jacob having passed away about the
time OF his grandson's wedding. Mrs.
Astor has displayed q benevolent dis
position, her ia, orite charity being the
Children's Aid society. She has sent a
larger number Of street children west
than any other of our philanthropists.
This. indeed. has been her favorite
charity. Her son, Waldorf, is a clear
headed business man, and now holds
the important position Of minister to
Rome. Ho is now very desirous to re-
turn, since the feeble health of his
parents requires his presence. Some
wears ngo his father gave him power
Of attorney to control the immense es-
tate. AMI this also makes his absence
Objectionable. Hence his resignation
and rcippcarance in this city is q mat
ter ofexpectat:on.

Z hnsgcs In the Name Niagara.


Tho name niagara has passed through
many photographed changes in the last
40 years. In 1857 it was written Onia-
goragh. In 1856 Gov. Dongan appeared
uncertain about it and spelled it Ohni-
agcro. Olyagara, and Onyagro. The
French in 1858 to 1909 wrote it Mia
guro. Onyagare, Onvagra, and Oney-
gra. Philip Livingston wrote in 1920
to 1870 Octiasra. Jagera, and Yagerah !;
and Schuyler and Livingston, commits
sioners Of Indian affairs, wrote in 720
On.ayerae, Ochiagara, etc. In 1721 it
was written On agora, Oniagara and,
accidentally, probably. Niagara, as at
present. Lieut.. Lindsay wrote it Nj
agara in l75l. So did Capt. De Lam
ccy (son Of Gov. Do Lancey), who was
an officer in the English army that cap
tured Fort Niagara from the Fyerch in
1859. These pioneers may. however,
be excused in view of the fact as will
bc attcsted by postmasters-that some
letter writers of to-day seem quite as un-
decided about the photography of this
world wide familiar name.

It was considered a penal offense In those

and damnation would be their portion unless
they really believed every word in the Bible
words many Of them could not spell, much
less understand. There was a large slave

about sixty negroes They were as ignorant,
