OFFERED TO COMPROMISE.
Deacon Bodkin Settles a yexed
Question.

Boston GlobeJ
Deacon Bodkin's eldest daughter Miranda,
has been passing her usual summer vacation
at her fathers house, accompanied by her
youngest hope, lad of q months. Among
other useful appendages which Miriam la
brought with her was baby carriage. Dur
ing the summer the deacon has been very
solicitous concerning the carriage. He has
driven away an unknown number of the
neighbors' children who came into the yard
to swing in the famous hammock chair and
ended by playing with the carriage.
"Chilen," he was constantly shouting, "let
that air carriage aloneI- You'll break it
next, until the deacon's solicitude for the
safety of that baby-cariage became a
proverb in the neighborhood.
At the rear of the deacon's yard stands a
small building where he keeps his tools, and
where lie does odd jobs on rainy days. Here
he made an asylum for the carriage, and he
was, at times, greatly vexed that Miranda
did not always take care to put it in the
shop when it was not in use.
1T can't possibly come to any harm if you
will put it i'll the shop when you are done

During the past few days of rain the dea-
con has been quite busy in the shop, making
DUOtJacks TO throw at cats and other neceS-
sary articles The other day he desired
strip of beard which lay across the rafters
and he Climbed upon n ladder TO take it down.
The deacon is not as good at climbing as he
once was, and the ladder was a little un-
steady.
Il guess Tcan get it," said the deacon, ,as he
looked up at the board just above his reach
"Ef 1 only jest had piece of paper to stand
on I'd fetch it y
Just at that moment the ladder slipped at
the foot, 1urched, the deacon graspef frantic
ally at the empty air, and before he could
ejaculaUe "Bless my soul" lie alighted full
and plump upon the baby carriage
The deacon was just gathering himself to-
gether and emerging from the wreck of the
carriage when Samantha appeared In the
doorway.

The Ellensburg Loealizer has the
following correspondence from Ruby
City of recent date: There is a
party from Spokane Falls looking
fol place or q LOT here at Salmon
city to start a paper. l do not know
what success he had, what encnur-
agement he received. Salmon city
has doubled its population in six
weeks. Lots that sold for So a

Kingsbury and Henry Stone, of
North Yakima, were up to Salmon
city with a petition for mail route
from North Yakima to Salmon city,
by the way of Priest Rapids and
Grab creek, through Waterville, and
also to establish fast freight line as

HINpOO PILGRIMS.
Scenes at AlIahabad at the Time of the
Annual Pilgrimage.

Scenes at AlIaI,ahad at the Time of the
Annual Pilgrimage.
Allahabad is the holy place of the
Hindoos, the city of God. Its halo of
sanctiiy arises from its location at the
union of the Jumna and the Ganges,
the two sacred streams of India. The
tongue of sandy land at the junction
is the hallowed spot, and here myriads
of the devout resort, like pilgrims to
Jordan, to purify the soul by bathing
and prayer. This custom takes the
form of an annual festival, lasting q
month, when the lowland at the con-
iluence becomes q vast encampment.
AS the Hindoo religion works on cash
basis, these occasions are embraced for
purposes of gain as well as of worship.
Owners OF various portable shrines hold
forth their efficacy; Brahmins read the
Shasters in return for pious offerings;
the makers of gods are present TO sell
their wares, and groups of Nautch girls
find IN abundant harvest. Traders
erect booths or bazars, and the traffic
in merchandise reminds one of the
great Russian fair of Mini NoygoTod.
TttIl iHclith year, NHch oufiiVi
enters q certain sign of the zodiac. oc-
ours the great Mela, as the pilgrimage
is called, when the concourse some-
times reaches millions. The last took
place in 1882 The holy mendicants al
ways attend the Mela in great num-
bers, begging or eXacting food and
money from the great masses. Under
the prctense of sanctity they almost dis
pense with clothing, allow their hair
and beard TO grow wild and twist coil
of gray rope about their heads, or else
wear nothing, while they smear face,
breast and limbs with ashes from the
funeral pyres, relieved with daubs of
ocher and vermillion. During Mela
they iniiict a variety of tortures upon
themselves. One, for example, will
bury himself in the ground until only
his nose and mouth are exposed, and
feign to remain several days without
eating-getting up in the night, like
the knave he is, and stealing the ma
terial for a hearty meai.--Boston

The Tacoma correspondent of the
P0St-IHteiigeReer of Tuesday says:
Word was received in this city yester
day that the passengers who left on the
6 a. N train for Portland walked across
the Colum bia river on the ice. The
river. it is understood, is frozen over
sold and no craft nf any kind can navi-
gate Its waters. The train due here
at 6:30 last night did not get in until
midnight. Fears are entertained that
the slides on the Oregon Railway &
Navigation road, which have occurred
repeatedly, will again put stop to
travel along thai road. The railroad,
rs is well known, runs below a high
precipice and when a slide occurs not
only does the snow come down on the
tract but a vast amount of sand and
gravel with it. 1t is impossible for the
snow plnws TO get away with the debris,
and it frequently happens that traius
are DELAYED for weeks while men with
picks aud shoyels clear away the snow
and gravel. Tue recent storm has
again shut off communication with
Eastern Washington via the switchback
and 1t IS feared a week or more may
elapse before any through trains get
through. Bnt one train each way is the
service at present between the Sound
and Portland. Numbers one and two
which are the switcbback trains. havin
been abandoned. A mixed train will be
run to Weston eight miles this side of
the tunnel each day.
