there arose the most terrific gale they
had yet experienced on the Arctic

hither and thither by the tempest and

came on, one of inky darkness, and the
wind threw heavy foes together, and
crash after crash of ice breaking over
their own foe warned the men death
was near to them. No man knew at
what minute the foe might break up
and the water engulf them.
The first faint light of dawn showed
that little remained of the foe on which
they were. The sea washed another
foe close to them. Closer it came, and
at last at the word the men succeeded
in getting upon it. The storm slowly
subsidized and they again landed at

Temperance Items.

DURING the prevalence of cholera in
India two bodies of troops were sta
toned close together. One, of a
hundred men, practiced total absti-
nence, and the other, of three hundred
men drank as usual. OF the former
group only one was attacked and recov-
cred, OF the latter thirty died.
AN eminent physician says: "When
taken only or chiefly with food and as
constituents of general free living, fer
mented liquors, beer or wine contribute
to the production of an abundance OF
-assimilated, overheated blood, which
either finds vent in eruptions of the sur
face, or as local hemorrhages, or causes
vertigo, stupor, bilious attacks, govt,
gravel and dyspepsia.
IN Munich, where the average
amount of beer consumed is greater
than anywhere else in the world, being,
in 1882. 432 litres to the individual, l. is
found that the average weight of the
heart is greater than elsewhere. The
London Lancet, which makes this state

habitual consumption of large quanti-
ties of beer tends to this. effect

WITHIN THE SOUL.

o, struggling heart and clouded soul, --
Whisper to me the final goal
OF all thy hopes Is it just to stand
On some high point of Fame fair land?
To look, with the pride of self-content,
On the lower plane of lives still spent
In vain attempts to raise above
Their harder lot? Full well we love !
The summit air of praise deserved.
But millions strive who arc not nerved
To lofts courage by loud applause.
Canst thou then see some righteous cause
Why thou shoudst be exempt from ills
That others suffer? Sorrow kills
Only the weak. The brave endure,
And find for every woe cure
In prayerful patience and active faith.
Be not dismayed! No power but death
Can check the onward steps oil those
Who strive for heights of calm repose
Within the soul And we do hope
That far beyond our earthly scope
Lies hills of peace that Life cOnceals;
TRANSPORTED mounts that Death reveals.
o, learn to know the just decree
OF Nature and of Destiny;
And though they hold thee long in thrall,
Thoult Heavenward climb in spite of all.

An Aboriginal Dwelling.

A short time ago there was discovered
i'll marsh at Schussenreid, in Wurtem-
burg, well-preserved hut of the age
of stone. The flooring and a part OF
the walls were intact, and, as appeared
from a careful admeasurement, had
formed, when complete, a rectangle ten
meters long, and seven meters wide.
The hut was divided into two compart-
mentS, communicating with each other
by foot bridge, made of three grders.
The single door, looking toward the
south, was a meter wide, and opened
into a room $50 meters long and four
meters wide. In one corner lay a
heap of stones, which had apparently
formed the fireplace. This room
was the kitchen, " the living
room," and probably night refuge for
the cattle in cold weather. The second
room, which had no opening outside,
measured $50 meters long and five
meters wide, and was, no doubt, used
as the family bed-chamber. The floors
of both rooms were formed of round
logs and the walls of split logs. This,
be it remembered, was hut of the
stone age. 1t may be safely presumed
that the lake dwellings of the bronze
age were large in size and less primitive
IN their arrangements. At both periods
the platforms supporting the houses
communicated with the shore by means
of a bridge (probably removable at
pleasure) and with the water by lad
ders. These ladders, as appears from
an example found at Chavannes, were
made of a single stang, with holes for
the slaves which protruded on either
side.- Contemporary ReCieW. ..g,

Washington Irving Steals His Own
Apples.

Speaking of his liking ~ look at
workingmen,' says an old friend Of
Washington Irving, reminds me of an
other good story which he used to tell
with great enjOyment-no one can tell
this story as he used to. One day when
he was building the extension to Sum
nyside, as he strolled about watching
the carpenters, he happened to pick up
an apple that had been blown from a
tree. The next moment he fels his arm
tugged, and turning, saw ragged lit
tie urchin-one of half dozen who had
come in to pick up the chips left by the
workmen- looking up into his face.
''' Say, mister, says the little chap,
lust you come with me and I'll show
you where to get some good APP
pies; but mind you don't let the old
man know meaning Mr.. Irving him
self.
"'Well, Mr.. Irving used to say, tell
ing the story, the little scamp brought
me to the very best tree in my orchard
and there we filled our pockets together
and ate our fill of my very best apples.
We got on very well together, and
believe it's the only case l ever heard
OF where man participated in the
robbery of his own orchard. - Chris

clearer and brighter than that they have

they attribute TO the absence Of alkal in

Thirteen passenger cars started from

bean detained, set out on a run TO catch
Il, but Il was already going very fast
and his only hope was to catch it at the
slow.up at First street. He had nearly
reached the rear car, when the brakeman
turned the switch and the train started
for good. He gave lively spurt
and actually swung himself and valise

What the End VIII be OF the Muir.
derer JOY.

The well.known express messenger

arrived In the city on Friday. II will
be remembered that he was tho .messen

In 1882. which was robbed by Joy al
Gage, N. M. and Engineer Webster
murdered.
Since that time Tom has been actively
engaged In bringing Joy to justice, but
% far. notwithstanding his escape from
the Silver City jail and his return with
the loss OF q leg by the posse which pur.
susd him, IL has been impossible to OBJ
tain trial for him In Grant county, al.
though tho Grand Jury indicted him on
charges ON robbery and murder.
Two Juries were imphneled during a
year, but II was impossible to obtain one
to try the case. In the last jury i'm.
pansled last month. questions by the at
torneys and Judge Bristol as TO their
knowledge Of the case and prejudice,
when every juror replied, with
due respect 10 your Honor the
lawyers and everyone present. we
would like 10 hang Mr.. Joy
from the Court House." This was at
Silver City, Grant county, N NJ, and a
county nearly as large as Southern Cal.

answer.
Last March new county was organ.
lied In New Mexico, known as Sierra
county, taking u portion of Grant
county, from Lake Valley north to the
line, and part of Dona Ana county.
This 10 the place where the third trial of
Joy, will take place, at the county seat,
on November 10th next. From informa.
tion received concerning tho newly or
ganised county, 1t looks as II IL was
hardly strong enough to hold the mur.
dsrer for trial, and that he will shortly
meet his just deserts at the hands Of
