Early in January, 1854, / left Red Wing in
company with S. j. Willard John Day, and
Albert Olson for u place fourteen miles dis
tant, near where Vasa Church now stands,
for the purpose of cutting all h2uling logs
preparatory for our settlement at that
point the following spring. 1t was n clear.
beautiful day, with the thermometer 20
degs. above zero. We had n span of good
horses, sleigh partly loaded with lumber,
forage, and provisions for few days,
We arrived at the spot just before dark,
and camped i'll a ravine well sheltered with
timber. After making ourselves comfort
able with good supper, and a blazing log
fire, all four laid down to sleep on bed
made on the snow, with thin layer of hay
on top of some boards and were well wrapped
up in blankets During the night the tenn
perature changed to c terrible cold, the
Thermometer falling to 45 dcgs. below zero
as we learned afterward. Had we known
this and kept our fire burning, there would,
of course, have been no danger. But being
terry comfortable we all fell asleep early in
che night and were unsconcious of the dan
ger we were in until awakened by the pain
of intense cold, and then we were already SO
overcome with the cold that we lacked
power or energy to get up or even to move
Comparing notes afterward we found that
all had experienced II like sensation,
namely--hrst, an acute pain, like the point
of a needlein every pore, but free from alE
mental anxiety, except a dull conception of
something wrong and desire to get up, but
without sufficient energy to do so. This feel
ing, however, did not last long, and sub
sided gradually into one of quiet rest and
satisfaction until consciousness ceased al
together, and without any struggle or pain
either bodily or mental We had all reached
that stage when, by an accident, the arm
and bare hand of Mr.. Day, who lay on the OUT
side, fell in the snow. This started the cir
culation in his body, and gave him such in
tense pain that he quickly aroused himself
and got on his feet, and Of course we were
all saved. IL took a long time before we.
could use our limbs sufficiently TO rebuild the
fire, and during that time we suffered mucn
more pain than we had before | am satisfied
from that experience that person perishing
in that way has a very easy death, because
he sinks gradually into stupor, which
blunts his sensibility both to physical pain,
and mental agony long before life becomes
extinct. Minneapolis Tribune

Mrs Fernandez, Of New York, is the priv

supply Of stage children. She lately ex-
pressed the opinion that baby is the most
important factor in stage belongings 1t is

that will not cry, and good babies are ex-
tremely rare therefore they bring good

commands $40 week if only to be C rlied

to keep up the supply, for the reason that
baby doesn't long remain baby
Mrs Fernandez is one Of the most
motherly and lovable Of women, and her
family of hundred or more children cling
to her with beautiful affection She said to
an inquirer last week that persons not in
the business can have little or no idea how
good and tractable the children of the stage
are. They are far easier to teach than men
and women; they do not complain, and they
create no disagreeable scenes Their kind
ness and sympathy is noteworthy. when

The TeIe graphs lightning Arrester."
To the uninitiated it is a great puzzle how
the dangers Of lightning are averted where
there are so many conductors Of electricity
as in q telegraph Office. More than 1000
different wires come into the Western Union
building, and run more or less directly to the
desks Of the operators. Even when less
electric attractions are wanting, most people
confess to certain feeling of insecurity
when the clements rage andEake NJ terribly
ing flashes Of forked fury. Nearly half the
operators are young women, and they may
be expected to share the general sentiments
of their sex concerning this uncertain and
wicked looking force. But science has pro-
vided an answer to this, as well as to almost
all other puzzles which stand in the way of
human progress.
Every wire, as it enters tie building,
passes through the bottom Of a long narrow
board, and then again through il at the TOP.
This board is a lightning arrester. II the
current is heavy, its first effect is to deprive
Of it Of much Of its force. Should even this
fail TO deprive the current Of its fatal power,
and it passes on to the top OF the board, it
touches a spring which drops instantly and
shuts Of all connection with the operating
room. The spring is called the plush mag
net, and beyond it no oyercharge of light
ming, whether proceeding from storm or
from contact with other wires, can possibly
60 Absolute security from outside cleo
trical influences is thus insured. The wires
proceed directly from the street to the
switchboard in the operating room, where
they are stopped. The wires attached to the
machines in the room all run to this board,
and connections are established there with
the through lines.-New York Tribune.
