Advice TO Young Girls.
Scotch American Journal.

A lady of intelligence and observa-
ton remarks: Il wish | could i'm
press upon the minds of the girls that
the chief end of woman is not to marry
young" If girls could only be
brought to believe that the chances
for happy marriage were better after
% than before, there would be much
less misery in the world than there
now is. To be sure they might not
have so many opportunities to marry
as before, but as they do not need to
marry but one at time, it Is neces-
sary that one should be satisfactory
As girl grows older, if she thinks at
all, she certainly becomes more
capable of judging what would make
her happy than " hen younger. How
many girls of 20 would think of
marrying the man they would gladly
have married at 16? AT 80 a woman,
who is somewhat Independent and not
over anxious to marry, Is much hard
er TO please and more careful in her
choice than one al 20. There is good
reason for this. Her mind has i'm
proved with her years, and she now
looks beyond mere appearances IN
judging men. She is apt TO ask If
this man who is SO very polite in coz
papy is really kind hearted. Do his
polite actions sprisg from happy,
genial nature, or IS MS attractive de-

narries early the man who happens
to please her fancy, she learns to her
sorrow that, in nine cases out of ten

are widely different beings. Five

A FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
DENVER, Jan. 26-An Aspen special
to the Tribune Republican says: Mar.
row Pass has been the scene of fear
full loss of life during the recent
storm. The horrors of Thursday were
intensified by the developments of
yesterday which show the pass to be
a snow-bound tomb. Willis the men
were hunting yesterday, for the bod

avalanche further up the canon. The
avalanche struck the latter place at

but when the slide came down it snap

hurting them against the cabin and
crushing everything. Martin, Riley
and Aag. Goodwin had their backs
broken, and Riley was suffocated.
When the slide struck the timber it
divided, a part rushing across the

These men worked their way out at

ANOTHER MINE CAvE-IN.

ANOTHER NINE CAvE-IN.
SHENANDOAH, Pa. Jan. ga Sc
rious cave-in occurred under the bed
of the Shenandoah branch of the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad
Just south of this place this morning
about sixty feet of road bed sank full
ly two feet while coal train was
passing over it, and in a short time
afterwards the surface dropped into
the workings below, leaving a
hole upwards of seventy five feet
in diameter. A passenger tram con-
tanning nearly hundred persons had
passed over the place a few minutes
before. Traffic over the road is sus-
pended in consequence, and the col
lieries in this section are thrown idle.
1t will take several days to fill the
breach and put the road in repair.
THREE BODIES RECOVERED.
WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 26.-The
bodies of three victims of the explos-
ion in the Oriel shaft at Newburg,
West Virginia, which were found
yesterday, were brought to the surface
day, and after being viewed by TIE
coreners they were taken ia
charge by Undertaken Berbo. to be
prepared for burial. The funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon.
There uames are: Daniel Miller,
eager, whose station was at the bot
tom of the shaft; Isaiah Timmons,
and his son William Timmons, trap
per.
The bodies were terribly mangled
and were crushed beyond recognition.
The recovery OF the bodies proceeds
very slowl y on account of the many
difficulties that are encountered. So
far the exploring party has been
able to enter the main builking
only three or four hundred feet
work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible and they expect to reach the
point in the mine where the men are
supposed to have been working at the
time of the explosion and recover
more bodies by morning. Fears were
felt today that another explosion
might take place on account
of the accumulation of gas, but re-
pairs are being made to the ventilator
the shaft which will lesser
thisd anger. This morning
an exploring party OF eX-
perts, composed of James Little, of
Shawnee, Grant county; superintend-
ent Of the Big Vein mine, of the
Elkgarden region; G. H. Richardson,
superintendent of the CASTOR mine,
at Paramount; Robert Jack, superin-
tendent of the West Fairmont miRes,
and Superintendent Lawton, of the
Oriel mines, descended the shaft and
remain ed down for two hours Rich
arnson explored further than any one
that has yet been down. He reports
the place full of gas and in very
daE gerous condition. There is also
great danger of the pump, which has
thus far been keeping the mine clear
of water, breaking down, owing to
the debris at the bottom of the sue.
ton pipes Should this happen it will
greatly complicate matters.

IT is said that General Sheridan has
settled the fate of the Signal Service
Bureau by his testimony before the sen
ate Committee that has been investi-
eating It. Sheridan asserts that the
weather bureau has no business in the
army; that the army doesn't want it,
and that it ought to be transferred to
one OF the civil departments. General
Hazen is working tooth and nail to
maintain the bureau in it's present rela-
tions, but it is believed that his doom is
sealed.

THIS winter is the severest known
IN Europe for many years. Nearly
the entire continent is covered with
snow. L9bdJn has not seen so much
snow in fourteen years past, and the
suffering throughout the British ISL
ands is very great. The warehouses
are sadly overcro wded, and SO close is
the margin between poverty and in
dependence among the masses there
that the weather has caused tens Of
thousands to seek public charity, who
were supposed to be quite securely in
trenched from the wolf at the door.

day, in making a formal demand of
the attorney general for copies of all
the papers in his department relating

issue, and action on which will neces-
sarily establish a precedent. No ac-
ton was had on the general PROPOSE
