WY Our Spring is Backward
SIXTY HOURS AMONG IcEBERGs.

The captains of the various transatlantic
steamers which have arrived in New York
| in the last week reports that the quantities
OF field ice and large icebergs encountered
| on the banks of Newfoundland this season
surpasses anything experiencedi heretofore,
and large number of sailing vessels have
been seen in the ice.helds, surrounded by
icebergs. 1t is believed that many of these
vessels will either be crushed or meet with
serious damage. Following the loss of the
Belgian steamer, Helvetia, on April 80 off
Cape Breton, the steamer Critic, which ar-
rived from Leith on Tuesday night, had
serious experience. Captain w. II. Lord
gave the following PARTICULARS
cat daylight ON March 6, in latitude As
north AZ west, we found solid wall of
packed ice interrupting our progress and
extending as far as we could see in west
northwest and east-southeast direction.
All day long we tried to escape t. the
southwark but were unsuccessful. Tue
icebergs increased in number with an alti-
tude of from 200 to 800 feet, and assuming
the dimentons of large islands.
"There was also dense fog which made
it difficult to thread our way around the
bergs; and not withstanding the utmost
caution, we got into the outer edge of
an immense field of ice. Night
coming on and it being imprudent to
keep under way, we decided to stop where
we were till daylight. 1t was necessary to
keep the vessel moving ahead or astern
through the night to avoid contact with
the bergs which were running against each
other all night. The following day was a
counterpart of the first. At times there
were openings and, attempting to work
through thsm we found ourselves closed in
again. We lid the melancholy saisfle-
tion of having as u companion in our
troubles the steamer Caspian. To give an
idea of the number of icebergs floating
around, we passed or--in little over an
hour, and at one time | counted flty-two
from the deck. We were sixty hours in
getting clear of the ice. The huge masses
of ice that we passed presented the most
| grotesque shapes imaginable, without be-
| ing beautiful to look at in our unpleasant
situation. We must have passed several
hundred icebergs before we got clear OF
themin latitude "A north, longitude 40 20
west | have never known the ice to be so
| thick and to cover so large an area

WHAT MR. MUNSoN PROPOSES To DO
The Portland Globe says that during the
national eucampment Mr.. Munson has ar
ranged to have one undred ex-soldierS In
his pay who are to keep up constant pa
troll of the liquor infested localities of
Portland, ostensibly as sight seeing visitors
but really in the capacity of spoilers in
search of eliminating information against
the balm vendors Should liquor be offered
them they are 10 purchase and warrant
will st once be issued against the luekless
seller Should none be offered, suspicious
places are to be ysitedkand liquor called
for by the ex-soldiers, who will, in case
they succeed in purchasing any, have the
places promptly raided. By this means II
is hoped that drought of Unprecedented
severity will reign in Portland during thu
fourth week Of June.

OVERCOME By EMOTION San Anto-
Mo darkey was on trial Tor stealing money
from house on Soledad street. Julian Van
Slyck, the attorney for prisoner, in his adj
dress to the jury said
Gentlemen, my client is poor man.
He was driven by hunger aud want to take
the small sum OF money. All that he
wanted WAS sufficient money to buy bread,
for il is in evidence that he did not take
the pocketbook containing $500 that was
in the same bureau drawer. Ii he was
professional thief he would certainly have
taken the pocketbook.
The eloquent attorney for The accused
was interrupted by the couvulsiye signs Of
his client.
WHY do you weep" asked Judge Moo
man, who was on the bench.
"Bekase didn't see dat ar pocketbook
in de bureau drawer WAS the reply.
Everybody laughed except Van Slyck,

Do you know why Kerosene barrels are
painted blue? No, listen. During loug
voyage or a long journey by rail, some-
times bali barrel would leak through the
pores of the wood and evaporate. So some
sharp fellow began to study someway of
preventing such loss. He first painted the
barrel blue on the outside and then filled it
with water and allowed 1t to stand until II
had soaked up all it would. Then the oil
was put In. The water kept the oil from
soaking into the wood, and the paint on
the outside kept the water from coming
out. He got patent on bis discovery and
now he sits in his office and draws his roy
atty of one cent on every barrel made to
hold kerosene oil for shipment.

About the madest set of people | have

was capable If doing the subject ,me de-
gree of n.tce At the price asked they
propori rs. a. = however the book is
plenty large unless the matter could be i'm,
proved. There are PIC pages in the book,
divided into eight chapters. Three oil these
|eght chapters are taken almost word Tor
word from the columns OF the REPORTER,
while other papers in the state have con.
trlbuted literally to other portions of the
work. Now l would not deprecate the
vllue of these extracts if they had be- IN
nestly credited as such but they are fling
in as t ough the work of the author, who
at the close of the volume says he is "un-
der obligation" to these papers. l should
say he was. These extracts were hurried
|y written on short notice and without
time to look up many facts essential to
making an accurate history of a man who
has occupied as prominent position as has
| the subjects of the book. The book is
nothing short of buIlesque on the life of
Governor Coburn. A school boy could
nave got out more creditabe work on a
weeks notice. Gov. Coburn should have
ms life written by some one who will not
make any such a hotch of it as Mr.. Will

HAS Miss CLEVELAND LEFT THE WHITE
HoUsE?-Miss Cleveand's return to resume
her place as mistress of the White House
is not likely for some time, even # she re-
turns at all. Her views regarding the use
of wines and liquors are said not to be the
presidents views. While she did not seri-
ously obj ect to wine at official dinners, she
stood for strict temperance on all other oc
casions. / his, it is understood, was the
understanding between Miss Cleveland and
her brother on her coming into the White
House. To it she iDflexibly adheres, and
departures from 1t are said to be the raa-
sons for her taking a long Through, which
may become permanent Miss Cleveland
was said to have left Washington to make
purchases in New York, leaving the infer
ence that she would return at no distant
day The inference is believed to be mis-
leading, as she has gone to her former res
idence, at Hollow Patent, In Oneida county
