saved bv one Match.

The most trivial circumstance some
times changes the entire currentof man 5
life. and often the live. of men are saved
by the mereSt chance.
Two gentlemen in this city know how
true this is. as one Of them was saved
from a horrible death by match. The
circumstance. as related by themselves,
happened in the following manner:
One summer they concluded to devote
the whole of their attention prospecting,
and started with pack animals for section
of country i'm Garfield county that was at the
time creating considerable comment among
mining men. They left the city at the be
ginning of summer well-equipped with all
the necessGries required by prospect0rs
The scene of action was reached without
incident WORTHY Of any special mention
except perhaps the loss Of one Of their
pack animals, which was drowned on the
Grand river while fording.
Several good prospects were. struck and
the work done on them. 1t was now the
middle Of October, and they concluded that
it was time to return home. The Jacks
were packed and they started across the
country for home, The route that they
laid out took them over the fiat tops. as It
was the nearest road to Leadvllle.
The third day ont they saw that storm
was brewing. and. not wishing to be
cfnuht on the fat tops. they rushed their
animal, through. but night came before
they reached "a valley. and they were
obliged 10 camp on the high ground.
Eyerything was made snug for the night.
and. wishing that the storm would blow
over. they wrapped themselves in their
blanket. and laid down to rest. About
midnight they were awakened from their
sIeep IN the bowling Of 1.-THE wind. which
whi.tled throught the trees under which they
canped The heaven, We're black, and the
tw9 men knew that the storm would soon

started out in search Of their animals in
the face Of the awful blizzard determined
TO leave the country at all hazards. Their
progress was slow. as the snow had drlfted
heavily, and when they came 20 where
they had turned their horses loose the pre-
vIouS evening the animals had left,
When the storm started the stock started
before it, and 10y the time the prospectorS
reached where they should have been the
animals We're some miles away, The men
kept on trailing them, and when evening
was approaching they We're nearly played
out and made up their minds TO camp. 1t
was a long and weary tramp, and when
half the distance was travelled they had to
give 1t up and made camp for the night
under a Sheltering pine tree.
One of the men was completely played
out and could not 90 step farther, and,
although II was bitterly cold when the spot
to camp was selected, he stretched himself
cut ON the ground thoroughly exhausted
and cared not whether he died or lived
His companion, being stronger. started to
get some wood together, and encouraged
his companion with cheering words He
knew that if he did not get FIRE started
pretty soon his partner would freeze TO
iTewood cut some shavings, and have
everything IN readiness to start the fire,
put his hand in his pocket, when, 10 his
horror the match-safe was gone.
Every pocket was searched, but not a
match could he find. He ritled the pockets
OF his friend with the same result The
realization of the awful position he was
placed in struck him. and he knew that
withou; IA fire certain death stared his COM
panion in the face if not himself. Once
more he searched, and, to his Joy. found
one solitary match in his vest pocket. The
wind was still blowing and snow drifting
Would he succeed in kndling the fire was
the question he asked himself.
Under fallen log he found some dry,
withered grass and twirs. which ne care
fully put in his hat ne whitfield some
more shayings, procured more small tWjgs,
and, with prayer on his lips, Bnelt down,
Int the match, applied it to the grass, saw
it suddenly blaze up and as suddenly &c
out; but before it did one of the shavipgs
had ignited. the flame extended to the rest
and to the twigs.
When they blazed up he knew they were
saved. Logs We're piled ON, and the hardy
prospector turned his attention TO his
friend, whom he lifted up and carried to
tie fire. The warmth soon revived him,
and all that dreary night the two sat be-
fore the fire every now and again throw
ing a fresh log on, afraid to sleep for fear
of being frozen. When morning came the
storm had passed, and they started out
after their stock, which. fortunately for
Them they found not far from their I'M
proyised cabin On returning to their
first camp they enjoyed a substantial meal,
and after bucking snow "a whole after
noon they succeeded in getting off the fiat
tops.
Their awful experience they never viii
forget. and they are firmly convinced that
a match saved their lives. -Leadyile Her

tells us how this distinction was gained.
The empress asked for il for the artist. but
the request could not be granted The
cross had never been given 10 woman,
and the ministers protested against pre-
cedent. But the empress hided her time
till the following year, when, during the
absence of the emperor in Algeria, she
acted as regent One morning a servant
entered Rosa Bonheur's studio with the
announcement that the empress was below.
In another minute She was i'm the studio
borrowing a pin from one of her ladies.
The empress then kissed the artist who.

of Honor pinned on her breast

A LONG DELAYED FORTUNE.

Colonel Eeaps the Reward of In
v~estlnents Made Years Ago.
Col. r. Bruce Ricketts,, of Ricketts,
famous battery at Gettysburg, has jumped
from poverty to great wealth. After the
war Col. Ricketts, bought $4,000 acres of
wood land on a mountain near Wilkes
barre for q mere long. To-day he sold
10000 acres of it to an English syndicate for
S2S an acre, which makes him a millionaire.
When Col. Ricketts, returned from the war
he at once began to buy up unsettled lands
in Luzerne and adjoining counties. He
predicted that the day would come when
tbese lands would be valuable, but the day
of fortune was so long in coming that he
was tempted several. times to sell his pos
ession for what he could get. Upon one
occasion he was SO poor that he could not
pay the taxes. Col. 3. X. Jamison, of
Philadelphia, then came to his assistance
and the military man aud the Philadelphia
banker have worked together, as Col. jam
ison was of the same opinion Us 20.
Ricketts, that the day would come when
the timber on the land would he in big
demand ard must necessarily bring a big
price.
