TOO MUCH SNOW.

Western Railway Tracks.
NEVADA CITY, Cal, Jan. 22.-Tele-
graphic communication is just restored
after two days interruption. There is
two feet of snow in the city and seven
feet on the neighboring hills. All
the bitches are blocked and citizens
are warned to husband water lest
the city reservoirs go dry. Provisions
are getting scarce and prices risin,,
rapidly. Freighters tried to get to Col.
fax for supplies, but after going few
miles were turned back by the deep
snow. Many families are out of flrewood
and none can be had at any
price. The churches remained
closed Sunday. The schools have
been closed and court adjourned
for the week. There has been no mail
communication with the lower country
since the 18th. Snow-shovelers are
working night and day on the roofs of
houses, in some instances getting $1.25
an hour. Despite these precautions
many buildings have been crushed
by the snow. among these Keller's
house, Margaret Longs house, two
Chinese laundries, several Chinese tene-
ment-houses, many barns and Tompkins
e. Sons store. The estimated loss to
the county by the suspension of travel,
business and mining and damage to
buildings will reach $500, 900.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 22. Although
the snow blockade continues on the
Central Pacific and on the California
and Oregon roads there is every pros
pect that it will be raised very soon.
At Cisco the country is covered to a
depth OF over ten feet on the level, and
in drifts the snow is three or four times
as deep.
At Dutch Flat on the western slope of
the Sierras there are seven feet of snow
on the level, two feet more than ever
before recorded. Wagon roads and
bitches are blocked and many
houses have been crushed by the snow,
but no lives have been lost. Snow
shoes are the only means of getting
any where. The damage to fruit trees
will be considerable. Should the snow
go off with rain the damage to the val
ley will be immense. On the Oregon
road the passenger trains bound to and
from Portland are still stuck in deep
SHOWS at Siskiyou range. The road is
blocked between Mott and Dunsmuir,
between Dunsmuir and Sims, and be-
tween Sims and Redding. Passengers
are on short rations. From Simson's
north to Edgewood the road is still
blocked
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-In Minnesota and
Dakota it is very cold. AT st. Vincent,
Mimi, it is 81 degrees below zero, and
at st. Paul the thermometer registers is
degrees below. 1t Is just the reverse in
North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. There it is 66 degrees above.
PENDLEToN, Ore, Jan. 22.-Ben Snipes,
the cattle king of Yakima, lost ., 900
head of cattle by the storm. He is still
losing 100 head daily. Other ranchmen
are suffering great losses.

Lieutenant Lane Howell, q. S. A.,
was a novel-reader when he was boy.
While his father was at Washington in
the Senate Lane and chum saved their
pennies and bought dime novels until
they had hundred OF single series.
These they catalogued into a library
and shelved the books in the loft of tho
big stable down at the end of the great
yard. The books were loaned out to
other novel-reading boys at three cents
each. With this income Lane and his
chum managed to add a lot of twenty
five-cent novelettes to tho library and
loaned them for ten cents each. When
Congress adjourned in the summer OF
1865 Senator Howell camo home and
soon discovered the library. He waited
for Lane and his chum to como in, and
when they arrived tho Senator locked
the door and gave them both taste Of
the virtue of the cane which he carried,
for he was lame and relied upon heavy
stick to aid his movements. The Ii.
brary, like that ancient one of Alex
andria, in Egypt, was burned. 1t has

FRENCH TIN SOLDIERS.
The Sardine Box Rivals of the Nuremberg
Toy Hordes.

Toy HordeS.
Nuremberg mobilizes a whole regi-
ment of soldiers, baggage and artillery
(Krupp model), included, at the same
price for which battalion of Chasseurs
d Antique is set on foot by the toy ar
senal of Marais. The situation is
gloomy; the French toy retires from ev-
cry position. But France will never be
annihilated. And if the depths of the
French tin soldiers soul were to be
sounded, there would be found below
the control which discipline exacts the
same glorious dreams of revenge which
animated the volunteers raised by Gam
BETA from the earth. The French tin
soldier looks to the east; he knows that
he is powerless to stop the invasion of
the German toy hordes-he is bound by
art. in the Frankfort treaty of peace
and he bides his time. But vengeance
is at hand, and this time also the first
signal for raising has been given at
Belleville by a Gambetta of the toy
world. Some years ago an idea
suggested itself to an obscure
workman of Belleville, an idea that
since then has engendered an army,
amply qualified were it question of
number alone, to realize the dream of
eternal peace, by keeping in check the
assembled armies OF Europe. He sets
on foot 5000, 900 soldiers year. These
soldiers are of humble origin, but so
was Napoleon. They sprung from old
sardine boxes. Relegated to the dust
hole, the sardine box S preserved from
destruction by the dust man, who sells
it to rag merchant in Belleville or in
Buttes Claumont, who in his turn dis
poses of it to a specialist, by whom it is
then prepared for the manufacturers.
The warriors are made from the bottom
of the box, the lid and sides are used
for guns, railway carriages, bicycles,
ETC., etc. All this may seem unimportant
at first sight, but the utilization of these
old sarSine boxes has resulted in the
foundation OF an enormous manufactory,
at which no less than 200 worlSmen are
employed. went there the other day,
and no one suspected me of being a
political correspondent, | was admitted
without difficulty to view the great
arsenal and it's 5000, 900 warriers.
The poor workman, out of whose head
the armed tin soldier sprung-via the
sardine box--is now rich man, and,
what is more, an eager and keen-sighted
patriot, who, in his sphere. deserves the
gratitude of his country. After retreat
ing for years, the French tin soldier
takes the offensive again-every year
the German spiked helmets retire from
positions conquered in French nurser-
les, and the time is not far distant when
the tri-color shall wave over the Berlin
toy shops-a slight revenge en- attend.
