IN the mountains. The trail from my
cabin is difficult one for a horse to
travel and the ladies at times feared that
they could not stand the hardships
climbing steep places, over fallen and
under standing timber, but they strug-
gled bravely on and were rewar ded
about 2 p. IN. by signt of the great ice
berg.
After lunch Miss Clark suggested that
we climb up to ona OF the large snow
banks about quarter OF a mile above
the lake. Some of the party were from
the state of Illinois and unused to seeing
snow on the 2oth of August and snow
balling match was soon in progress al d
the doctors face received a thoroug h
washing. The afternoon was spent
snow balling and coasting, using fat
rocks for toboggans, until We were all
soaking wet and it was time to start on
the downward trail. It was 9 o'clock
when we reach edsthe cabin, leaving Ice
berg lake in the eternal solituGes of its
lofty granite fortress.
Tired. and hungry, yet full of life born
of mountain air and sceniry, supper was
soon dispatched, the disnes washed and
! the party was soon sound asleep, the
ladies in tent and the men in the
cabin, which was much warmer and
safer from attacks OF wild beasts.
The next morning we saddled up and
started for Mr.. Wilbur's, where buckle
berries grow the size # grapes and are as
thick as mosquitoes in spring Here is
where the Bulls Head mine is and that
day we ate our dinner at tho tunnel.
Berry picking aud eating was the order
that afternoon and in the evening the

eur of the mountain scenery, but duty

With signs of regret, but glowing health

Hughes and Sullivan Bound Over

At Shelby last Saturday, John T.
Hughes and John Sullivap were ex-
amined on charge of grand larceny, in
connection with the shipment of horses
from Baltic on Jan. 18th. The evidence
introduced was practically according to
the statement of the case as published
in last weeks ACANTHA and was of such
nature that in the absepce Of an ex-
pldnation OF their conduct, their being
held forstrial by jury was inevitable. 1t
appears that j. r. Stevenson who is also
implicated, was the business man Of the
combination and the breezy manner in
which he induced various people to sign
as shippers and witnesses on the stock
on,racts is something wonderful It is
claimed, particularly oa the part of
Hughes, who has hitherto bnrne Il good
reputation, that ne is the victim OF
Stevenson's smooth tongue and was led
to believe that everything was on the
square. That there were others i'm
plicatei is generally believed, for so far
no one but Sullivan has beea connected
with colralling the horses and it is con-
sidered impossible that one man could
drive such mixed bunch of horses
across the frozen creeks from the range
where they were gathered. Whoever
the parties wore, who gathered the
horses, their impartiality is apparent
from a perusal OF the list OF stock, whch
IS pQ5lishe1 in another part of this issue.

New York, Feb. 3.-G. B, Clark. an
ex member of parliment and a Boer
sym pathizer, arrived here today on the
steamship Minneapolis Mr.. Clark
showed himself to be wholly sympathetic
with the Beers, as he said they were
making a very brave struggle and would
never be conquered. He said:
''If the British should be victorious
and establish their rule over the Beers,
the latter would never acknowledge that
rule. II England should conquer she
would have another Ireland upon her
hands. The dispositions of the people
preclude their giving up the struggle"
Mr. Clark said he came here solely on
business.

sI.oo A YEAR.
Be Observant.

A child may know more than phil
osopher about some things. A little
girl entered the study of Mezeral, the
celebrated historian, and asked him
for coal of FIRE.
"But you haven't brought shov.
el, he said.
81 don't need any" was the reply.
And then, very much to his aston
ishment, she filed her hand with ashes,
and put the live coal on top. No
doubt the learned man knew that
ashes were bad conductor Of heat,
but he had never seen the fact veri-
fed in such a practical manner.
Two boys of my acquaintance one
morning took walk with naturalist.
"Do you notice anything peculiar
in the movement of these wasps2" he
asked, as he pointed to a puddle IN
the middle of the road.
Nothing, except they seem to come
and go, replied one of the boys.
The other was less prompt in his re-
ply, but he had observed to some pur-
pose.
Il notice they fly away in pairs,
be said. Zone has little pellet Of
mud, the other nothing, Are there
drones among wssps, as among bees2'
Both were alike busy, and each
went away with a burden" replied
the naturalist, The one you thought
a do nothing, had mouthful of water.
They reach their nest together; the
one deposits his pellet Of mud, tho
other elects the water upon it, which
makes it of the consistency Of mortar.
Then they paddle it upon the nest,and
fy away for more materials.
You see, one boy observed little,
and the other a good deal more, while
the naturalist had something to tell
them that surprised them very much.
Boys, be observant. Cultivate the
faculty. Look keenly. Glance at a
shop window as you pass it, and then
try how many things YOU can recall
that you noticed in it.

Autumn Glee.

'Tis all myth that autumn grieves,
For watch the rain amid the leaves:
With silver fingers dimly seen
1t makes each leaf a tombourine,
And swings and leaps with elm mirth
To kiss the brow of mother earth
Or, laughing, mid the trembling grass,
I, mods greeting as you pass.
Oh hear the rain amid the leaves
'Tis all myth that autumn grieves!
'Tis all a myth that autumn grieves,
For list the wind among the sheaYes;
Far sweeter than the breath of May,
Or storied scents Of old Cathay.
1t blends the perfumes rare and good
OF spicy pine and hickory wood;
And with a voice as gay as rhyme
II prates of rihed mint and thyme
Obi scent the wind among the sheaves-
'Tis all a myth that autumn grieves!
'Tis all a myth that autumn grieves-
Behold the wondrous web she weaves
By viewing hands her thread is spun
OF evening vapors shyly won.
Across the grass from side to side
myriad unseen shuttles glide
Throughout the night. till on the height
Aurora leads the laggard light;
Behold the wondrous web she weayes-
'Tis all a myth that autumn grieves.

Where She Differed from Paul.

A Scotch clergyman called upon a
parishioner not long since, an old
woman who was not blessed with
many virtues, but who possessed a
varied assortment Of vices. He took the
latter as text for a sermon and spoke
to her at considerable length upon the
subject, concluding with some extracts
from one Of 81. Paul's epistles. which
he felt to be apropos. She didn't
speak for several minutes after he
had finished, and he thought be had
made an impression upon her at last.
He was mistaken, however, for she
suddenly turned around with the re-
mark: "Humph That's just where
Paul and l have differed these ten
years" The argument was not con-
tinued.

"Come, come" urged the lawyer
"I demand an answer to my question. +"
Still no answer from the witness.

turning to the court, II think am

"Wby not?''

"No."
"Then there is no use questioning

So they called the next witness.
