Railways in the West are preparing
to build immense snowsheds OF con-
crete this summer. wherever there is
any possibility of a repetition of the
recent disastrous snowslides on lines
in the West, when trains were swept
from their tracks, killing scores CT
passengers" said Henry Gruber, an en-
gineer of the Northern Pacific Railway,
according to, the Washington Post.
THE Northern Pacific has many dam
gerous passes in the Cascade and
Rocky mountains. where snowslides
are a constant menace in winter to
the passenger traffic. There are many
similar danger spots along the line of
the Canadian Pacific. At most of these
places the railways have long wooden
snowsheds. but these have not proved
effective in preventing accidents. In
many cases ayalanches and immense
snowslides have swept these structures
completely away, though they were
built of the most massive timbers that
could be obtained
THE roads haYe learned that wooden
structures won't do, so this summer
all these snowsheds are to be replaced
with great concrete structures, which
will be built so strong and enduring
that even a cyclone would not be able
to bulge them. People in the East
who have never seen one of the snow
storms of the Rocky mountains have
no idea of the immense mass of snow
that covers everything, and they cam
not conceive of the violence of an av-
alanche."

New York Farms.

A farm in central New York.
bought a few years ago for SIS an
acre, produced two years later a crop
of peas worth more than $50 an acre.
This incident, considered in commune
tion with the fact that many farms
can be bought for even less than the
value of the buildings standing on the
land. is used in a, bulletin by Com
missioner Pearson of the state agri-
cultural department to indicate the
possibilities of agriculture in New
York
This publication also gives the value
of crops in this state for a period
of 40 years, showing that New York
is the fourth state in agricultural i'm
portance. A significant feature of the
statistics is that while in 1875 New
York raised 35,0oo.o00 bushels OF POI
tatoes, valued at Sl0,9S5,l79, last year
it produced 34.s5o.o0o bushels, valued
at s26,13S 900. Similarly increased

Pembertop,s scheme.

About this time an intercepted dis
patch from Johnston to Pemberton in
formed me that Johnston intended TO
make a determined attack upon us, in
order to relieve the garrison of
Vicksburg. ] knew the garrison
would make no formidable effort to
relieve itself The picket lines were
so close to each other-where there
was space enough between the lines
TO post pickets-that the men could
converse. On the 21st of June | was
informed, through this means, that
Pcmberton was preparing to escape
by crossing TO the Louisiana side un-
der cover of night; that he had en-
ployed workmen in making boats for
that purpose; that the men had been
canvassed to ascertain if they wouli
make an assault on the Yankees to
eat their way out; that they had re
fused, and had almost mutinied be-
cause their commander would not
surrender and relieve their suffer
ings. and had only been pacified by
the assurance that boats enough
would be finished in a week to carry
them all over. The rebel pickets also
said that houses in the city had been
pulled down 10 get material to build
these boats with. Afterward this
story was verified. On entering the
city we find large number of rude
w constructed boats.
All necessary steps were at once
taken to render such an attempt
abortive Our pickets were doubled;
Admiral Porter was informed, so that
the river might be more closely watch
ed; material was collected on the
west bank of the river with which
to light it up if the attempt was
made; and batteries were established
along the levee crossing the peninsu-
la on the Louisiana side. Had the at
tempt been made, the garrison of
Yicksburg would have been drowned,
or made prisoners ON the Louisiana
side. General Richard Taylor was ex-
pected on the west bank to cooperate
in this movement, / believe, but he
did not come, nor could he have done
so with a force sufficient to be of ser

COMBINED CRIME AND ART.
Burglar and FOrger Who Managed
10 Keep Up Air OF RespectabiIity.

10 Keep Up Air of RespectabiIity.
! 1t is alleged that Herr May (the
German philanthropist and author re-
Gently proved to have been a burglar
and bandit in early life). in addition
to the improving literature of which
ne was the acknowledged author. also
published anonymously a series of
cheap and detrimental fiction, in which
/ his experiences as a bandit were util-
lied. In other respects. however, he
appears to have wholly forsaken his
wicked ways.
IL this is so, and il would be kinder
| to give him the benefit of any doubt,
the case only bears a partial resem-
| blance TO that of the celebrated Charles
Peace. the London Standard says.
That now notorious burglar was &C
lively practicing his real profession
when he was known TO the sedatest So
ciety of Peckham as a well-to-do and
cultured gentleman of impeccable ante
cedents.
Peace was a past master in the art
| of imposture and had the markings of
brigand in him. if he never got the
| chance of following the more adventur-
Gus and perhaps more picturesque
branches of crime. He. too, managed
! to establish some reputation for piety
by his partially for sacred music. His
| house was crammed with musical in
struments, but he never allowed any
thing else to be played.
Another criminal who managed to
impose on his friends and acquaint-
ances was Thomas Wainwright. who
was certainly forger and probably a
prisoner, but who had been fashion
able writer and critic and was the
| friend of Charles Lamb, Talfourd and
De Quincy. 1.-THE kind. hght-hearted
| Wainwright" as Ella called him, was
thoroughgoing and heartless scoun-
drel and the offenses for which he was
sentenced to transportation for life
were only incidents in a long career
of wrongdoing. Whether he really

tunate Miss Abercromby. urging in -ex-
tenuation that she had very thick
ankles. may be doubted, but quite
| enough has been proved to his dis
credit. At the same time it is improb.
| able that he would ever, like Herr
Karl May, has returned to respectable
ity. even if the opportunity had been
| allowed him.
Another and less known man of let
| tiers who combined literature with
crime was George harrington. trans
| ported to Botany Bay to pocket pick
| ing in 1890. He did recover his char
acter, became high constable of Para
malta and was much thought of in
official circles for his good conduct.
His literary fame rests mainly on the
often quoted description of the true
patriots: BE it understood. we left
our country for our country's good.
