The Snow Sheds Of the Union Pacific.

A correspondent Of the \. Y OoSeTrer
says: with two and sometimes three
engines, our heavy train now divided into
two sections, climbed up the giant wall of
the Sierra Nevada. We passed through
the magnificent scenery Of Shady Run,
Blue Canyon and Giant and Emigrant Gaps
In running one hundred and seventy miles
we have climbed nearly seven thousand
feet, sometimes over very steep grade's
Before we reached the Summit snow sheds
began to appear, and soon became practi-
caly continuous 1t was the month Of
MAY, and the mountains were still covered
deep with snow. We rode through forty
miles ef these wooden tunnels, from whose
windows we could now and then catch
glances OF wild wastes of snow covered
mountains, and at other times of forests of
pine and fur trees. Without these sheds 1t
would be impossible to operate the road IN
winter. They are built in the most thor
ough manner, often upon soGd foundations
of masonry, are separated by iron plates
into sections, to guard against spread OF
fire. There are automatic electric fire
alarms in one of the longest sheds, and an
engine with a tank close at hand Is kept
ready to food any section that should
catch on fire. The sheds are patrolled and
guarded in a careful manner. Such atten-
tion is due not only to the passenger and
freight traffic which the road conducts, but
to the value of the sheds, which average
from eight 10 twelve thousand dollars per
mile. Several miles, where bridges and
ana precipices made the construction diff
cult, cost as much as thirty thousand dol
lars per mile

THE or : & n
The Young Lawyer.


The average young lawyer can learn
good deal from the autobiography OF Ben
ismin F. Butler. Buffers success at ey-
cry point was the result Of indefatigable
industry. When he had case involving
any disease Of the mind or body he studied
it until the expert physicians could spring
nothing new on him. If it involved a
knowledge of some department OF meehan-
les, Butler would master that, His sue
cess lay in his immense capacity for work.
He never depended upon his native bril-
liancy. Butler had case once against
steam ship company for damages, wherein
the crew became afflicted with scurvy on
account of the failure of the ships officers
to furnish sufficient quantity of vegeta-
bic food. And he studied the tubJect oil
scurvey until he knew more about IL than
perhaps any physician then in America
This knowledge preserved his army from
that disease more than once, when he De-
came General, and it was in like manner
that he became possessed of the knowledge
bQaL lIt6u NcN AibLA NA4S
of yellow fever, and sayed his command
during the winter he occupied that city.
A young lawyer should not be afraid 'i
work. He should remember that reputa-
ton is everything to him, and if occasion
requires he should be prepared to do
hundred dollars worth of work for a fifty
cent fee at any time, remembering that
the other 500 so is well invested in knowl-
Q ge and reputation. He should be care :
ful to avoid the disease known as big
head. He will sometimes discover that he
has some decision or point of law fresh IN
his mind that some old lawyer has forgot
ten. But he should not therefore hatteI
himself that lie knows more than this same
old lawyer The young lawyer should be
content to saw wood until an opportunity
offers to distinguish himself, then jump IN
with resolute though modest courage, and
win. Success is the only thing that sue
ceeds in this country, and success to be
permanent must be built upon the solid
foundation of honesty and industry
