Avalanches Produced by RAILWAYS.

operations in st. Gothard is u lawsuit
instituted by the Inhabitants Of the
adjacent valleys. They sue the fed
eral government for damages caused
by the great increase of avalanches
which constantly thunder down the
mountain side, produced it is pre-
sumed by the explosions Of dynamite
more than by the vibrations Of pass
ing trains in the lower tunnels Of the
railway, Many witnesses, who have
lived in the neighborhood since the
early part of the century, will swear
to the greatly augmented number and
force of the avalanchcs that now con-
stantly sweep destruction down the
mountain. The first hearing of this
novel case was lately heard before the
federal judges assembled at Bellin-
IONA. We believe there is no instance
in this country of an avalanche pro-
duced by railway service.

a Peculiar Request.

A Christiania newspaper, which does
not give itself up to the comic element,
relates that q Danish lawyer named
Nikolson bequcathed the whole of his
property TO trustees to be employed in
the purchase of bicycles for the use of
children attending school, and part of
the money is to go toward paying u
teacher to train the boys in bicycle
riding. The validity of the will has
been disputed by the sons of the tcsta-
tor.who refuse to acknowledge it. so
that it is still question of doubt
whether the children will reap the
benefit of the strange bequcst. That
the testator was sincere enough, and
that he recognized in the wheel untold
blessings which might have escaped
the observation of minds of less
acumen, the concluding portion of the
will should go to prove. 1t says: 81

Arizona Roads.

Outside the larger towns public
road making in Arizona, where prairie
and mountain trails are the only wagon
routes, has not advanced beyond the
wheel tracks of primitive times. For
the most part little shoveling is the
only work that has been done, and
that only at the crossings of gullies
and where the trail lies through
canons. In the outskirts of towns ir-
rigating bitches frequently cross the
road, and their overfows and wash
outs, which occur more or less fire.
quently, may cut dangerous gullics in
the highway or conceal it in wide
shallow lake. Wooden bridges and
culverts have been tried on much
travelled trails, but they are apt to dis
appear, as the native Mexican popula-
ton regard them as providential gifts
to remove for their own private pur-
pose. Where the road skirts the edge
of gullies rains and floods often under
mine the sides, which, falling Off in
sections, leave sheer wall, it may be,
IL or 20 feet high BY successive
slouchings the trail is cncroached on
in places and detour must be made.
Thus n stage ride in broken country
is likely to be exciting to the point of
apprehension, even with an expert
enced driver who knows the route and
the probabilities of its shiftings.

Mountain Lion and Deor.

An interesting incident Of wild beast
life was witnessed by a hunter in
Asotin county, Washington, recently.
A deer came bounding down the steep
side of a bare, rocky hill on the edge
of the Snake river, just above the
mouth Of the t;randc Ronde. closely
followed by big mountain lion. The
buck plunged hcadlong into the
river and swan for dear life
toward the farther shore The
big cat stopped short at the waters
edge, put its paw angrily but gingerly
into the water, and then drew back and
watched the deer gain the opposite
bank in safety and disappear in the
woods. Witha disappointed snarl the
lion bounded away.

Congressman Bundy is not stranger

was called the Iron King of Ohio, and

save when he was his own client.
After serving two terms he was de-
feated in 1874 by John l.. Vance of
Gallipolis The old man was badly
broken up by this defeat, because it
was n defeat of principles which he
held dear. He had stood up for the
rights of the colored men and had sup
ported. from conviction. the civil
rights bill. His course caused his de-
feat, and he always yearned for vindi-
