SEATTLE. Oct. l0.-The special ccr
respondent of the Post Intelligeucer
at Skaguay, writes under date of Sep
tember 30. as fhllOws:
"An Indian packer who has jnst ar
rived from Luke Ltndemanp reports
that two feet nf snow fell at Lakes
Lindemann and Bennett, and the dis
tress and suffering there are intense.
Most of the people at the lakes live in
tents, and many have made no pro-
vision for getting away this season.
They haye not built cabins for them
selves, aud the Indian says that with
so much snow on the ground, which
will in all probability remain, there
will be intense suffering before the
people are housed in shacks or cabins.
The winter SHOWS have begun to fall
on the pass, and there are yet hundreds
of men scattered along the trail be-
tween Sheep camp and the lake. AS
is we'll known, travelling over the pass
in one of those snow storms, which
frequently lasts one or two weeks, is
impossible. and when this fact is con-
sidered, it is easy to imagine the awful
condition which confronts the gold
seekers. There are grave fears that
many will perish on the tail before
they can reach Lake Lindemann.
Late reports from the lake are that
ice is rapidly forming, and all indica-
tions point to an unusually early and
severe winter"

PASSING OF THE WATCHDOG.
Peacocks Supplanting Towser as tn
Household Protector.


"The place of a watchdog on the farm
or country place" said States Attorney
Mcclure the other day, in making some
observations about mad dogs, reports
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat, might
be very well taken by peacocks and
guinea fowls. long since adopted pea
cocks alone to guard my place, and
nothing can come around the premises
night or day without causing an alarm
from them. They are more watchfu.
than any dog ever owned. My expert
ence with guineas has not been so eX.
tensive, but 1 believe they are also
sure to give an alarm, or rather good
many alarms, if any strange man OF
beast should venture near them by
night or day. Perhaps the days of the
watchdog would be numbered If it were
generally known how well peacocks
and guinea fowls would take his place.
Then, certainly, with fewer dogs there
would not be so many cases of hydro
phobia."
The statement of Mr.. Mcclure as to
the watchfulness of peacocks was borne
out by numerous Howard county farm
ers, among the number being County
Commissioners Hess, Dorsey and Smith,
and Mr.. James L. Hobbs, who superin-
tends the farming operations of Sem
ator German. Mr.. Hobbs stated that he
long ago discovered what excellent pro.
lection peacocks afford about a place,
and down on the senator's farm he al
ways keeps six or eight of them TO
guard the premises. So it appears that
peacocks are useful as well as orna-
mental.

An Artist,a Story.

A celebrated artist tells a stsry OF
VOW, when he was playing with pencil
md paper, he suddenly began to draw
portrait of face that he seeped TO
remember. But he never discovered the
original until when, on a visit to coun-
try house, he discovered the face among

family. On inquiry, he found that his
grandfather had once been engaged to
be married to the girl, but had been
obliged to give her up on the pressure
of her relatives.

He Made Friends in the Forest with the
Life Around Him.
The mice which haunted my house
we're not the common ones which are
said to have been introduced into the
country, but wild native kind not
found in the village. l sent one to u
distinguished naturalist, and it inter-
ested him very much. When 1 was
building, one of these had its nest un-
derneath the house, and before 1 had
laid the second floor and swept out the
shavings would come out regularly at
lunch time and pick up the crumbs az
my feet. 1t probably had never seen d
man before; and it soon became quite
familiar and would run over my shoes
and up my clothes. 1t could readily
ascend the sides of the room by short
impulses, like a squirrel, which it re-
scmbled in its motions.
At length, as 1 leaned, with my elbow
en- the bench one day, it ran up my
clothes, and along my sleeve, and round
and around the paper which held my
dinner, while l kept the latter close
and lodged and played at bo-peep. with
it; and when at last held still piece
of cheese between my thumbs and finger,
it came and nibbled it, sitting in my
hand, and afterward cleaned its face
and paws like fly, and walked away
A phoebe soon built in my shed, and
a robin for protection in a pine which
grew against the house. In June the
partridge, which is SO shy bird, led
her brood past my windows from the
woods in the rear to the front of my
house, clucking and calling to then,
like hen, and in all her behavior prov
ing herself the hen OF the woods. The
young suddenly disperse on your ap-
preach at signal from the mother, as
If whirlwiDd has swept them away,
and they so exactly resemble the dried
leaves and twigs that many n traveller
has placed his foot in the midst of n
brood and heard the whlr of the old bird
as she flew off, and her anxious calls
and mewing, or seen her trail her wings
to attract his attention, without sus-
oecting their rneighborhocd. The parent
will sometimes roll and spin round be-
fore you in such a dishabille that you
cannot for few moments detect what
kind of creature it is.
The young squat still and fat, often
running their heads under leaf and
mind only their mothers r'sdirections given
from distance. nor will your approch
make them run again and betray them
selves, have held them in my open
hand, and still their only care, obedient
to their mother and their instinct, was
to squat there without fear or trem-
bling. So perfect is this instinct that
once, when 1 laid them on the leaves
again, and one accidentally fell on its
side, it was found with the rest in ex
actly the same position ten minutes
afterward. The remarkable adult, yet
innocent, expression of their open and
serene eyes Is very memorable. All in
telligence seems reflected in them. They
suggest not merely the purity of in
fancy, but a wisdom clarified by eX-
perience. Such an eye was not born
when the bird was, but is coeval with
the sky 1t reflects. The woods do not
yield another such gem.-Thoreau's

BUSINESS MEN DINE.
Fourth Annual Banquet of tho CONNER
cIal Club,

cIaI Club.
PORTLAND, Or, Oct, 10.-The
fourth annual dinner of the CONNER.
cial Club, given last night at the
rooms of that organization, on the
eighth floor of the Chamber of Com
merce building, was the most repre-
sentative aud successful of the series
given. Civic, military and naval
branches of the general government
were we'll represented, and on behalf
of the state, three members OF the Ore
gon congressional delegation were
present. The guests were' seated at
1880, and from that hour until after
midnight, mirth and eloquence, wit
and good feeling prevailed.
The fourth annual meeting of the.
Commercial Club was the most impor-
tant in its history. The organization,
through indefatigable efforts on the
part of it's officers and members, has
passed through the crucial period of
business depression and hard times,
and now, with a promising future, is
well equipped to enter upon a success
full and important career. The organ
ization is essentially commercial
one. In its membership are to be
found all the leading business men of
the city, and these are supplemented
by good array of those in professional
life who exert themselves in common
interest for Portland's good.
General Charles F. Beebe. president
of the club, presided at the dinner last
night, and otficiated as postmaster,
ably assisted by mem mbers OF the re-
ception committee.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A ai-patch tt
the i'r,pr"e from London says:
The british governments answer tC
; the proposal OF the United States and
France for rbimeJaltsmDy international al
, agreement will probably be ready
within a fortnight. Possibly it will
be delivered earlier, as there is evi'
dence that the ministry is disturbed by
over the monetary question in the
press and wishes to put an end to it.
Two months ago they were strongly
disposed to make such concessions to
the United States and France as would
have enabled these powers to convoke
a monetary conference. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach obtained from the gov
ernor of the bank of England a quail
fed assent to the conversion into silver
of one-fifth of the reserve for the re-
denption of note issues.
The Indian government was also
consulted respecting the expediency
of opening the mints to the free coin
age of silver If the answer to that
propo 'ition had been as favorable as
the reply of the governor of the bank
of England on the minor point of a
larger use of silver in the reserves,
Senator Wolcott's mission would have
been completely successful in opening
the way for new session of the con-
ference. That answer has not yet
been officially revealed, but it has
been received in London, and is be-
lieved IN diplomatic circles to be un-
favorable to the reopening of the In
dian mintS.

The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated OF in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tian era. Some degree of geological in
formation is displayed in the book of
Job, several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowl-
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated of by Aristotle,
Pliny, and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an exact
science until the present century. :
