are instructed in all the duties of naval

Ravens i'm Alaska.

The Alaska raven is q tine-looking
bird, as large as turkey, and, upon
closer acquaintance, real handsome
fellow, says the San Francisco ChrOn-
icte. His coat is indeed black, but of
black glossier and richer than silk
and softer than velvet, while in a semi
shade the feathers are tinged with that
peculiar color so often seen on we'll
preserved blue-black bronze. 1t is very
funny TO see those birds holding, as it
were. conclave. Ten or a dozen
alight on the ground and walk to the
meeting place with a stately, erect
step, t-eir every movement cool and
assured.
Then an old bird steps gravely into
the middle, and the meeting begins
with a series of cultural and harsh
croaks, which gradually swell in vol
ume until the entire lot of birds have
joined in the debate. Along comes a
dog, and for him they scatter, resum-
ing their positions when he passes, un-
til the meeting again terminates, and
then fly off to the beach and hills.
These birds are seldom killed, unless
it be by some sailor in pure wanton-
ness III YOU examine the bills of these
ravens. the peculiar construction is re-
markable. They are a combination of
chisel, scissors, dagger, and gimlet.
The bill forms an important factor in
the ravens existence, for he has to dig
on the beach for clans, bore the hard
shell by repeated chopping, and again
in pure mischief he will tear and break
anything that his bright and unerring
eye lights upon.
The natives from Yukatat Bay.
through the network of islands as far
rs British Columbia. have an ancient
legend that the raven was the bird
that brought light from darkness when
the world was created. On this ac-
count they venerate it, and the totem
of the raven is regarded as denoting
the most illustrious descended family.

WINTER LINGERING.
A BLINDING SNOW STORM RAGING
ON THE PLAINS
Railroads Blockaded Between the Rocky
Mountains and the Missouri River.
Live Stock Suffering.

KANSAS Cry, March 25.-Dispatches
from Kansas state that the worst snow
storm of the season is raging throughout
that state. The railroads are all badly
blocked. The country from eastern
Kansas to Denver is covered with snow,
ranging from five inches at Junction
City, to twelve inches at Hayes City. In
Colorado there is foot and a half. A
severe wind storm is whirling the snow
into great drifts and the railroad tracks
arc 0i1uppuuxinrs isorzsr- eanAss~-S Saporal
trains on the central branch of the Mig
souri, Pacific are layed up between sta
tions in SNOW drifts. A Frisco passen-
ger train is stuck in drift near Bent
ley, and near Ellsworth Union Pacific
train is fast. Unless extremely cold
weather follows, it is not thought the
crops will be injured, but the scarcity of
feed will make it severe on stock.
OMAHA, Neb., March 25.-The storm
which prevailed today was general
throughout Nebraska. Dispatches from
all over the state indicate that the snow
fall covers the largest area of any storm
of the winter. In the regions visited by
drought last summer the snow was es-
pecially heavy. Holdredge telegraphs
that the snow is from two to
four feet deep, and McCook,
Broken Bow, Chadron and other
points send similar reports. The storm
has done little, if any, damage. Trains
are but slightly interfered with, owing
to the fact that the snow is not accom-
panied by wind, and it is too wet to
drift. 1t is in the nature of blessing to
portions of the state. The weather is
cloudy, not cold, and there are prospects
for more snow or rain.
DENVER, March 25.-Snow, particu-
larly along the lines of the Kansas Pa
cific and Santa Fe routes, is extremely
heavy, and the train service is badly de-
laved. The snowfall throughout the
state is from six to twelve inches and
drifting. ~
WICHITA, Kan, March 2b.-Captain
John Hudson, an extensive cattle

his assistants, for not having kept up
with their work. The clerks we're al
lowed fifteen days pay, and told fatty
that II it did not suit them, the work
could be done by others for that sum.
These proceedings put the senate in
bad humor, and several resolutions to

summarily squelched. An exception
was made in the case OF the sergeant

treasury by the attaches, who on one
pretext or another, desired extra pay
for services. Most of them were allowed
from three to ten days. pay.
The senate tonight passed concur
rent resolution allowing the legislators
