Grants Goodness.

While General Grant, then lien.
tenant, was courting the lady whom he
married. there occurred an event to
which he never reverted without a
shudder. A writer in the Midland
Monthly, describing an adventure
which the young lieutenant and Miss
D mt met with, says:
While the water is high in the Mis-.
sissippi the swift current abrades she
banks, a,d they frequently "cave in"
for several yards or rods at time.
In.early spring, in one OF their at.
ternoon explorations, Lieutenant Grant
aud the young lady were riding along
the bank of the river, passing from
one covs or valley to the mouth OF
another. Miss Dent was nearest the
water. The land was but few feet
above the surface Of the turbulent
stream.
Suddenly Miss Dents horse began
to sink. The earth had given way In.
der his hind feet. Grants horse vas
close beside hers. In an instant he
saw that her horse was sinking into
the awful abyss!
Grants cool head and splendid
horsemanship here had opportunity
to display themselves. Quick s.s q
flash he leaned over, threw his right
arm around Miss Dents waist, and
drew he. to him as her horse disap.
peared in the seethiny and mu;ky
eddy that moment later boiled and
surged in angry tumult over the place
where hank and horse had vanished
from sight.
1t was frightful moment.
Fortunately the earth parted be.
tween the two animals, leaving Ora ats
horse OIL solid ground. Lifting and
firmly holding Miss Dent, and apply.
ing the spur to his horse, he was on
safe ground in q moment; then he
gently lowered her to the earth--all
this without word from "the silent
man." or scream or murmur from
her.
As he hastened back to rescue her
horse SHE stood holding the bride OF
his, outwardly as composed as if moth
ing had happened.
Her horse had disappeared. Grant
followed down stream and hailed a
boatmau in o skiff, who found the
horse swimming several hundred yards
below, amid driftwoed and debris.
He landed the animal st place where
it could climb the bank, and it wal
soon on safe ground, none the worse
for the fright and the bath.

He wac borne along with and under

the snow, and lodged against the side
of the gulch much farther down.
Above him the snow was packed hard.
Andreas did not know how deep it was
in reality it was about four feet
deep above his head-but he did not
know that it was so hard that he could
scarcely move muscle.
Andreas quickly began 20 experience
difficulty in breathing. Luckily he
had been carried along by the avail
anche in s.n upright position; he had
thrown up his hands in an effort to
save himself, and his left arm had re-
mained in that position-thrust up
ward. By working it from side to
side in the hard packed snow, he made
small opening up into looser snow
in which there semed to De some air |;
at any rate, he could br cath enough
to save himself from slffocation at
present.
He knew, however, that he could
not live in such place long. He
struggled and pushed, and tried to
enlarge the opening made by his left
arm, picking pieces of snow from
about hia body with his right hand
and working them into the opening.
But he would certainly have grown
discouraged, after he had worked
vainly thus for half an hour or more,
if he had not heard q scratching and
burrowing sound above his head. He
knew by this that his faithful dogs had
escaped the avalanche, had found the
place where he was overwhelmed, and
were digging him out.
This gave him strength for new
efforts. Now he bent all his own en-
deavors, not to getting out-he left
the dogs to uncover him-but to get.
ting air enough to keep him alive un-
til the dogs should succeed in digging
down through the hard snow. He
worked his LETT arm upward and about,
and as the dogs dug downward, he
soon succeeded in getting little hole
through 20 the air.
For an hour and half he and the
dogs were at work, and at the end OF
that time he succeeded in dragging
himself out upon the side of the excava.
tion the dogs had made. There, more
desd thar alive, be took deep draugtts
of the mountain air till these revivsd
him, and he was able to go on his way.

Under an Avalanche.

An extraordinary escape from death
was lately recorded by g. newspaper OF
Mountain Home, Idaho, mining town
high up among the mountains, where
ayulanches of the most fearful descrip-
ton are not infrequent. On the first
day of last December citizen OF
Mountain Home, Frank Andrees by
name. started at an early hour IN the
morning to go from mine to black
smith shop, some distance away on the
side of the mountain. With him were
his two big dogs, which are in part OF
ST. Bernard blood.
The dogs we're gambolling about IN
the snow some distance from their
master when great snowslide, which
the warmth of the sun had dislodged
some two hundred feet up the mount
ain, descended upon Anaress with such
velocity that thefe waa no escaping
from it.
