Fleet of Sailing Vessels Imprisoned IN
the Ice on Long Island sound-Lake
Michigan Frozen from Shore to Shore
A Missing Steamer Heard From.
New YORK, Feb 19.-biany vessels bound
to sea went out yesterday morning, but
none of the small craft that are believed to
be lying off the coast awaiting fair weather,
were able to come in. Lower Bay down
to Sandy Hook is filled with float
ing Ice, and navigation is conducted
under great disadvantages. Off the
quarantine station the ice has frozen
almost solid. Steamers and sailing
vessels plying on the Sound have had
very rough experience during the past
forty-eight hours. A fleet of these vessels
lies helpless in the ice above He'll Gate
for distance of twenty-five miles. The
Captains of incoming vessels report
the water covered with ice foes all
this distance from shore to shore.
Many of the steam-tugs that ply the
harbor are doing lively business
in bringing supplies to these vessels
and diSposing of them at their own fig
ures. At nine o'clock a. m. yesterday, the
steamers Providence Stonington and
Waterbury passed City Island in company.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 19.-It is be-
lieved here that Lake Michigan is frozen
from shore to shore. AT one time last year
the lake was entirely frozen over. That
was the first time, however, in many years
that this has occurred. 1t requires an
extraordinary season of cold to effect this
result.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 19.-All doubt
in regard to the safety of the propeller
Michigan, missing for nine days, was set
at rest by telegram receieed by the
agent here last night from Grand Haven.
The dispatch announced that the
Michigan was imprisoned in heavy ice
seven miles off Saugatuck, twenty miles
south of Grand Haven. The boat is abun-
dainty supplied with fuel, and with milder
weather will easily free herself. Seventeen
of the crew walked ashore at Grand Haven
yesterday. They were sent ashore in order
to save provisions. One of the party, the
clerk, had his foot badly frozen during the

board in a circus. 1t may be worth the
price of admission to those who care
for it, but it has no title to fill up as
much space in local news as session
of the city council or an anniversary of
a charitable association. It is no mat
ter of local interest, except as any dis
play of professional dexterity may be.
Hardly man in any club claiming the
name of city belongs to the city by
birth or residence. One year he be-
longs to Detroit, another to Indianapo-
lis, another to Buffalo or Cleveland.
The whole body of professionals, and
that includes every player of any con-
siderable skill, is exactly like the "con-
dotiere' of the middle ages" who
hired themselves as soldiers to one
State or another as they were best paid,
and changed sides on any adequate in
ducement, and fought as well for the
second party as they had previously
fought against it. A city can feel no
local pride or interest in club thus, app
propriated to it, and there is no sense
in making stir about the formation of
a local club, or filling columns with its
circus feats.-Indtaadpo Journal.

Siberian Prisoners.

Escapes of political and other con-
victs from Western Siberia are more
frequent than is generally supposed,
but from Eastern Siberia. though often
attempted, they seldom succeed. Save
for conviets under sentence of penal
servitude, and actually imprisoned, it is
easy to elude the vigilance of the police
and get away from convict village or
settlement, but it is almost impossibla
to get out of the country. The immense
distances to be traversed, the terrible
climate, lack of money, the absolute
necessity of keeping to the high roads

BURIED DEEP IN SNOW.

Thirty Persons Supposed to Have Lost
Their Lives in Utah-Twelve Bodies Re-
covered.
SALT LAKE CITY, u. T., Feb. 19.-The
relief party which went from here to Alta,
the scene of Friday nights terrible snow
slide, returned to the city at late
hour Tuesday night. bringing the bodies of
twelve victims. Four of those at first re-
ported dead were rescued alive. They
are Andrew White, but little injured, who
was under the snow twelve hours; Fred
Cullinin, who was buried sixteen hours,
sustained someEinjury to his back; Mr..
Koist. who was ingulfed six hours, and Mr..
Ford. The body of one Chinaman was not
found. The bodies, sewed in blankets
were hauled down the canyon ON Sleds, one
of which carried the bodies of the four Bal
lou children, and another the remains of
Mrs. Ford and baby. The latter, on the night
of the terrible disaster, yainly begged of her
husband that she and her child be taken to
a place of safety, as she was sure slide
was coming. AT the inquest yesterday
nothing new was developed. The funeral
services will take place to-day. Five adults
and eight children are still in Alta in
constant danger from snowslides and a re-
lief party will go there to-day to
bring them to this city. SnOw-slides in the
vicinity of Alta are of daily occurrence.
One took place at Superior gulch Saturday,
and, it is believed, resulted in the death Of
three men who were working there. Two
men from neighboring camp went to
Superior gulch to see if all was right
there. The visitors got within sight of
the cabin and tunnel Just then they
saw "a slide start, and in an in
slant the cabin and tunnel were obliterated
by a sea of snow. The conclusion of the
slide was sufficient to hurl the terrified
witnesses to the ground, and they hurried
away. In the three slides of last Friday at
Alta it is believed thirty persons lost theig

HOW INDIANS MOVE.

| They Take Their Wigwams with Them
How They Dine - Not an Appointing
Sight.
Harry's papa is an officer in the army,
so Harry lives in a fort out on the
plains. He sees great many queer
sights. One day he saw some Indians
moving. Indians live in wigwams, and
do not have any furniture. They do
not move from one wigwan to another.
They move wigwam and all from place
to place. They do not have any
wagons, so they have to carry their
things on the backs of horses. The In
dians rode on horses, with the pap
pooses on their backs and the half
grown children sitting before or behind
them. The skins and blankets belong
ing to the wigwams were tied up, and
the bundles were fastened to the backs
of pack-horses. The lodge-poles were
tied to the sides of the horses, so that
one end of them dragged on the ground.
The Indians stopped few hours not q
great distance from the fort, so Hal
went out with the soldiers to see them.
They were friendly Indians; that is,
they were friendly just then. Perhaps
the next time they would see them the
Indians would be ready to fight about
something. Hal thought at first that it
would be great fun to live like Indians;
but he soon changed his mind. When
he saw still more of them he was very
certain he would not like it. He was
sure he would not like to sleep among
such dirty skins and blankets, or to eat
such food as they did.
The moving party Hal went to see
We're cooking their dinner. They had
built fires on the ground. They cooked
their meat on sticks over the fire, and
stewed good many queer things in
large earthen pots.
One of the officers told Hal that the
Indians were very fond of stewed pup
pies. Hal did not know whether to be-
lieve that or not. The Indians all
helped themselves out of the same dish.
They seemed to think it quite right to
dip their fingers in and fish out the piece
they liked best
Some of the little Indians were almost
pretty. There was one came up to Hal
and looked him over. He was inter-
ested in his clothes. After awhile he
went away and brought two large
feathers for Hal to put in his hat. Hal
stuck them in and laughed. The lit
tie Indian laughed, too; but they could
not talk to each other, for neither could
what the other said. The
Indians stayed near the fort until after
dinner; then they moved off toward
their home.-Our Little Ones.

A COMMON SCoLD.
The 'New York HeraId' on the Failure
to Confirm the Nicaraguan Treaty.

The ssNew York Herald" on the Failure
to Confirm the Nicaraguan Treaty.
The New York Herald has shown it
self capable of taking q high and indie
pendent position and giving wise
counsel, and we are the more surprised
and saddened, that it should have so
far parted from its philosophy as to
imagine that President Cleveland s
Administration is a failure before 1t be-
gins. simply because the Nicaraguan
treaty, an ill-vised and ill-timed affair,
has just suffered defeat in the Senate.
We can not believe that journal
which advances so calmly. if not grand
ly, amid the shocks and strains of great
public questions that are constantly re-
curing, could be so disturbed as the
Herald has shown itself to be, were the
consideration pure concern for the well
fare of the Democratic party and the
prosperity of the country. 1t has stood
many such disappointments with sweet
resignation. 1t has seen its counsels
disregarded and commented up
on the fact with only the mild
est and most courteous murmurs. What
then is the exciting cause of all this
present fuss and fury over question
that at least half of the people in the
country have not looked upon with APP
proval? Mr.. Bayard seems to be the
target of the Heratd's anathemas, and
the inspiration of it's gloomiest prophe-
cies. We should even infer that it sup
posed that Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Blaine
were in league to ruin the country and
destroy Democratic chances four years
hence. 1t says: ''It is notorious fact
that Mr.. Blaine has used every influence
and artifice at his command to defeat
these treaties. Why? Because he
knows that thereby he stabs the Demo-
cratic party, and even before Mr..
Cleveland enters the White House pre-
pares the way for Republican triumph
in 1888. And Mr. Bayard acts as the
assistant of Mr.. Blaine, and persuades
and bulldozes timid and ignorant
Democrats to follow him into this
pit prepared by the willy enemy
of the Democrats" 1t also exhorts
the incoming President to lift up
his voice against the faulty of
which Mr.. Bayard is the head and
front, for if the Democratic party is go
ing to accept the latter's leadership, it
may as well make up its mind to defeat
and disgrace from the beginning. These
are extravagant and somewhat reckless
terms; but in asking the President-elecs
to take step that would be manifestfy

| never to be effaced.
..Younr PEOPLES minds and hearts
are very like the soft mass; and the
thoughts they think, the persons they
associate with, the books they read. are
all doing something towards making
footprints. If evil, impure images
walk often through the young mind and
heart with wrong, untrue ideas about
life and it's duties, these things Will
surely leave their ugly prints growing
firmer and firmer, deeper and deeper
until they can never be effaced. And so
again, right, sweet, loving thoughts and
endeavors will as surely leave their
marks too. Then ought we not TO pe
very careful about the marks we are
making as we go through life? careful
about things that may seem very trivial
in our daily lives; and | know OF moth
