TWENTY minutes IN ICE WATER
That Was the. Experianoe of John Bots;'
at CongreR4 Lake. n

Algentlenan o this city who re-
| turned from Cong gEass Lake, yesterday
gave a DEMocR NJ feporter an account
| of the serious ducking received by one
| of the workmen engaged in putting up
ice at that place, and which came un-
der his observation yesterday.
John Kroft, Of Cleveland, has gang
of wofkmen, numbering about twenty
harvesting ice at the lake. John Botz
was employed at ernarking Off the ice
into acakes, =, ready for cutting. The
marking Is done With the aid Of Horse
which draws plow-like contrivance
over the ice and makes an ihdention in
one direction, which, when marked
across, forms a square. This enables
the ice cutter to take out perfect cakes
of CONCEALED water. AS Botz was en-.
gagged in,this work, the ice began break.
| ing, and gave way, precipitating both
Botz and the horse into the water
The horse Immediately sank and dis.
appeared under the ice about ten, feet
II j Z :. ! Va IfI : ID
from the hole.i Botz screamed for help
and endeavoredatoa get out, but repeat
edly failed. Kroft, the boss, called to
his men for help In such a loud voice as
to attract the attention of some boys
skating half a mile distant. The men
responded, and after repeated attempts
and failures, succeeded in catching an
ice hook in BOtz's coat and hauled him
out more dead than alive. He had
sank the second time and was going
down the third time when he was pull
ed out. Ice had formed upon his hands
and face fully a quarter of an inch
thick, and his hands were mangled and
bleeding from cuts received in catching
at the ice for hold. t7-r.
After effecting the rescue of Botz, the
workmen turned their attention to the
horse, which could be seen struggling
under the ice. The men broke in a hole
and securing ropes and a strong plank
finally succeededin getting the Ice hook
fastened in the horses harness, and
slipping the plank under it, soon hauled
itout of its icy bath. Both man. and
beast were promptly given stimulants
and carefully attended to-. 6as 15..
gBotz had remained in the water fully
twenty minutes, and the horse was moi
rescued until it had been in some forty
minutes

BLACK LISTS.

A planter in Georgia who took
an active palt in the Civil War,
went to New York last summer TO
visit an old friend who had fought
on the other side. BY tact agree
mont, the subjects Of the war and
politics were carefully avoidcd be-
tween them.
One day, while they were visit
ing large library, the Librarian
remarked, "Iiere are some curl
Gus documents which may interest
you," and Laid before them three
pamphlets. One, published in
1873, was entitled "The Roll Of
Dishonor,'' and contained list Of
the prominent citizens of PhiIa-
deIphIa who, in the beginning Of
the Revolution, arrayed them
selves against their county.
The second, published in vir-
ginia ia 1859, was called GA
Black List, being the names of
those citizens of The Old Domin
ion who~ympatize with the mur-
darous Abolltionists. Let them
be markedlll Let them be ac-
cursed III
The third, pdblished in Phila-
delphia two years later, was head :
ed: "We have traitors among
us! A true and accurate list of
the Southern reoels now in the
city. Read Mark! Prepare Ven
geance!
The two grave, elderly friends
turned over these records of past
hate and enmity between them,
reddsning but silent. AT last,
looking up suddenly at each other
they burst into laughter, and
clasped hands cordially. The
personal hate and bitterness Of
the last war seemed as useless and
unjust TO tiem now, as the abuse
spent between the Tories and our
patriot forefathers.
Time had taught them that men
may differ upon great public
question, even upon a question Of
patriotism, as upon matters of re-
liglon, and yet remain, individual
ly, true honorable and worthy Of
friendship.
Each year that increases and
strengthens the business and So
cIal ties between the men of the
two sections teaches them thus les
son, and YIELDS the nation into
new and enduring harmony.

TWO MEN.

| knew two nelghbors, old Cali
fornians, who had about equal
fortunes. They were both old set
tiers, both rich and both much re-
spected. la that fearful year,
1852, when the dying and desti-
tute immigrants literally crawIed
on hands ami knees over the Sierra,
trying to reach the settiem ents
one of these men droye all lis cat
tie up to the mountains, bulchered
them and fed the starving. He
had his Mexicans pack all the
mules with -four, which at that
time cost almost It's weight in
gold, and push on night and day
over the mountains to meet the
strangers there and feed them, so
that they might have strength to
reach his ranch, where they could
have shelter and rest.
The other man, cold and eau
tious, saw his opportunity and
embraced it. He sat at home
and sold all his wheat and mules
and meat. and with the vast cp-
portunIties for turning money to
account in that now country, soon
becsme almost a prince IN for
tune.
But his generous neighbol died
beggar in Idaho, where he had
gone to try to make another for
tune. He literally had not money
enough to buy shroud; and as
he died among strangers by the
roadside, he was buried without
even SO much as a pine board
coffin. / saw his grave there
only laft year. Some one had set
up rough granite stone at the
head. And that is all. No name
not even a letter or a date.
Nothing. But that boulder was
fashioned by the hand of Almighty
God, and in the little seams and
dots and mossy scars that cover
it, we can read the rubric that
chronicles the secret virtues of
this lone dead man ON the snowy
mountains of Idaho.
The children of the "Prince'
ale In Paris. Upheld by his
colossal wealth, their lives seem
to embrace the universal world.
He is my frierd. He buys all
my books and reads every line
write. When he comes TO this
sketch he will understand it. And
he ought to understand too, that
all the respect, admiration and
love which the new land once gave
these two men. gathers around
and is buried beneath that moss
grown granite stone; and that ]
know, even with all his show OF
splendor. that his heart is as cold
and empty as that dead mans
hands. JOAQUIN MILLER.
