AN ADVENTURE IN THE ALPS.
I'UJ PERIL OF MOUNTAIN TRAVEL--A
A writer in the London Saturday
Review thus describes a recent per
ilous adventure in the Alps :
"An hour and a half atter the de
parture of our porters, we slowly
wended our way to the lake of Mar
gelin, which we skirted, and were
soon upon the ice. The middle of
the glacier war almost as smooth as
a ob.rriage road,.,cut here and there
by musical brooks produced by the
superficial ablation. To one of us
the scene opened out with the fresh
ness of a new revelation, as, previous
ly to this year, he had never been
I lit mong the Alps. To the other,
though not new, the region had lost
no trace of the interest with which
he first viewod it. We moved brisk
ly along the frozen incline, until, af
ter a couple of hours' march, we saw
a solitary human being standing on
the lateral moraine of the glacier,
near the point where we were to
quit it for the cave of the Faulberg.
At first this man excited no atten
tion. ire stood and watched us, but
did not move a step towards us, un
til finally oar curiosity was aroused
by observing that he was one of our
:wo men. The glacier here is always
cut by crevasses, which, while they
present no real difficulty, require
care. We approached our porter,
but he never moved; and when we
came up to him he looked stupid, and
did not speak until he was spoken to.
B. addressed !lint in the patois of
the place, and he answered in the
same patois.
His answer must have been more
than usually obscure, for our guide
misunderstood the most important
part of it. "My God 1" he exclaim
ed, turning to us, " Walters is kill
ed !" Walters was the guide at the
dEggischhorn, with whom, in the
prekent instance, we had nothing to
do. "so, not Walters," responded
the-man, "iris my comrade that is
killed." B.- leaked at him with a
wild, bewildered stare. "How kili
ed F" he exclaimed, "Smashed in a
crevasse," was the reply. We were
all so stunned that for some time we
did not quite seize the import of
the terrible statement. B. at length
tossed his arms in the air, exclaim
in g- , —"Jesu Maria I what am I. to do?"
With the swiftness that some ascribe
to dreams, we surrounded the fact
with imaginary adjuncts,one of which
was that the man bad been drawn
dead from the crevasse, and was
now a corpse in the cave of the
Faulberg; tor we took it for granted
that, ha►d he been still entombed, his
comrade would have run or called
for our assistance. Several times in
succession he affirmed that the miss
ing porter was certainly dead.
"How does he know that he is
dead ?" L. demanded ; "rien are
sometimes rendered senseless with
out being killecL" This question
was repeated in German, but met
with the same stolid affirmative re
sponse. "Where is he, then ?" we
asked. "There," replied the porter,
stretching his arm towards the gla
cier. "In the crevasse ?" A stupid
"Ja?" was the answer. It was with
difficulty that we quelled an impre
cation. "Lead the way to the cre
vesse, you blockhead," and ho led
the way.

We were soon beside a wide and
jagged cleft which resembled a kind
of come more than an ordinary fiss
ure The cleft had been spanned by
a snow bridge, now broken, and up
to the edge of which htfrnan foot
siteps could be traced.. The glacier
here was considerably torn, but
simple patience was the only thing
needed to unravel its complexity.—
This quality our porter lacked, and,
hoping to make shorter work of it,
he attempted to cross this bridge.
It gave way, and he went down
carrying an immense load of debris,
along with him. We looked into toe
hole, at one end of which was cut
short by darkness, while immediate
ly under tivi broken arch it was
crammed with snow and shattered
icicles. We saw nothing more.—
We listened with strained attention,
and from the depths of the glacier a
low moan seeped to issue. its rep

ly insecure. The last junction corn•
plate, he exclaimed, "Now let me
down !" Not until each of these
knots has been tested ; not an inch
Two of thorn gave way, and L.'s
waistcoat also proved too tender for
the strain. The debris was about 40
feet from the surface of the glacier,
but two prominences afford a kind of
tooting. B. was dropped down to
one of these; T. followed, being let
down by L.; he could not trust the
porter overhead. B. then descend
ed the remaining distance, and was
duly followed by .T. More could not
find room.
The shape and size of the cavity
were such as to produce a kind of
resonance, which rendered it difficult
to strike the precise spot from which
tht sound issued; but the moaning
continued, becoming to all appear
ance gradually feebler. Fearing to
wound the man, the debris was cau
tiously rooted away. it rang curi
ously as it fell into the adjacent gloom.
A layer two or three feet thick was
thus removed; and finally, from the
frozen mass, and so bloodless as to be
almost as white as the surrounding
snow, issued a single human hand.—
The fingers moved Hound it we
rooted and soon reached the knap
sack, which we cut away. With it
we regained our rope. The man's
head was laid bare, and our brandy
flask was immediately at his lips.—
He tried to.speak, hut was inarticu
late, his words jumbling themselves
to a dull moan. B.'s feelings got the
better of him at intervals; be wrought
like a hero, but at times be needed
guidance and stern admonition. The
arms once free, we passed the rope
underneath them, and sought to
draw the man out. But the ice frag
ments round him bad regulated so as
to form a solid ease. Thrice we es
sayed to draw him up, thrice we fail
ed ; he had literally to be hewn out
of the ice, and not until his last foot
was extricated were we able to lift
him. L. and the porter pulling
above, and we pushing him below,
the man was raised to the light of
day. L. then drew his friend out of
the pit, and B. followed. For an
hour we had been in the crevasse in
shirt sleeves—the porter had been in
it for two hours—and the dripping
ice had drenched us. 8., moreover,
had worked with the energy of mad
ness, and now the reaction came.—
He shook as if he would fall to pieces;
bat brandy and seine covering re
vived him.
The rescued man was helpless, un
able to stand, unable to utter an ar
ticulate sentence. B. proposed to
carry him down the glacier towards
home. Had this been attempted.
the man would have indubitably died
upon the ice. B. thought be could
carry him for two hours, but he un
derrated his own exhaustion, and
overrated the vitality of his riend.
'lt cannot be thought of—to the cave
of Faulberg, where we must tend
him as well as we can.' We got him
to the side of the glacier, and here B.
took him on his back; in ten minutes
he sank under his load. L. carried
a miscellaneous burden. It was now
our turn with the man, then again
B's,and thus helping each other we
reached the mountain wrot. The sun
ha.l set, and the crown of the Jung
frau was imbedded in amber light.—
Thinking that the Margelin See
might be reached before darkness,
we proposed starting in search of
help. The good B. would not hear
of it, and L.'s eye slightly glistened.
It is surprising how such au occasion
brings out a man's feeling. "God ,
bless you L, and now for the gla
cier" But ale anxiety to get quick
ly clear of the crevasses defeated its
own object. Thrice we found our
selves in difficulty, and the light was
visibly departing. The conviction
deepened that persistence would be
folly, and the most impressive mo
ment of our experienc was that on
which we stopped at the brink of a
profound fissure and looked upon the
mountains and the sky. The serenity
was perfect—not a cloud,not a breeze,
not a sound, while over the solemn I
West spread the last hues of sunset
We returned ; warm wine was giv
en to our patient, and all our dry
clothes were wrapped around him.
Hot water bottles were placed at his
feet and his back was briskly rubbed.
He continued to groan a long time,
but finally, both this and the tremb
ling ceased The anxious watcher
B. muttered, "He is dead I" We
leaned over his face and found him
breathing gently; we felt his pulse
—it was tranquilly beating. "Not
dead dear old Bile will be able to crawl
home with us in the morning?' The
prediction was justified by the event:
and two days afterwards we saw him
at Laax, minus a bit of his ear, with
a bruise .upon his cheek and a few
scars upon" his hand, bat without' a
broken bone or serious injury of any
kind. The self•denying manner in
which the second porter spent, the
night made us forget his ettipidiiy
it may have been stnpefnetion. If
we were to draw a moral from this

HOW HE GAVE UP HIS CIGAR.
I was travelling in a train of cars,
on the Iludson River Railroad, from
Albany to New York city. This
road is a very accommodating road,
for it has a smoking car attached
to every train. I found my way into
this Pandemonium, and lighting a
'fine Havana cigar," settled myself
back in the seat - for a comfortable
smoke. By one of those strange
fatalities which we can never ac
count for, my eyes rested upon a
piece of paper upon the floor, which
looked like a leaf torn from a book.
I stopped and picked it up. It was
a tract from the Anti-Tobacco Tract
Depository, and was headed "The
Pleasure and then the 'Ring." At
the extreme bottom of the page, in
the smallest, most modest, unassum
ing type imaginable, was the name
"Geo. Trask." I read the tract, and
then read the title page: " The
Pleasure and then the Sting."
In the meantime my cigar went
out, but the words in tile tract had
set me thinking , and the cigar was
thrown away. Now I will tell you
how I gave up smoking. I am
twenty-four years of age. I com
menced smoking when I was thir
teen. It never made me sick to
learn the vile habit, as it does most
boys. For eleven years I have
smoked. Several months ago my
digestive organs stopped the doing
of their proper functions, and I gave
up eating all kinds of (bed, except
the very plainest, supposing as was
really the case, that I had dyspepsia. '
I thought it was caused by eating
certain kinds 'of food. For more
than six months I have lived upon
the very plainest food, but without
much relief; and until the little
tract started me on the right path,
I had never dreamed that it was to
bacco which gave me all this pain
and trouble. I have smoked eleven
years, and could scarcely believe that
it was to commence hurting me now.
It is six weeks since I stopped
using tobacco. Never, since i threw
away the cigar in the smoking car,
have I put into my mouth either
pipe or cigar. The hot, burning
pain in my throat is gone, no filthy
taste is in my mouth every morning
before breakfast, as of old, and my
dyspepsia is dally growing to be a
thing of the past. Nothing would
induce me to return again to the use
of tobacco. I feel brighter and bet
ter than I have sinco childhood, and
can eat most any kind of food now.
For this blessing, God bless George
Trask.
Now I will tell you how I went to
work to break away from the toils
of the vile destroyer.
First, I went to the druggist's and,
procured a jar of Extract of Dande
lion. It is about the thickness of
dough. I kept it in my desk at the
office. Every time that I felt the
least inclination to smoke, I would
put a Fttnall lump of it into my mouth;
ftilla month I continued this prac
tice, and now seldom think of smok
ing', and only with a glad feeling of
having escaped its toils. I have in
duced my room mate to try the ex
periment. Ile has successfully prac
ticed it for three weeks.
BITE 01' A RATTLESNAKE MED
IN TWO HOURS,
The Petersburg Express publishes
the following from a reliable corres
pondent "A carpenter ; while en•
gaged a few days ago, in removing
some rotten timber near the ground,
was bitten by a rattles. ake. In a
few minutes his finger was swoollen
to four times its natural size, and the
streaks commenced running up his
band and wrist.
A deadly languor came over him
and his vision grew dim, clearly in
dicating that the subtle poison that
was coursing through his veins, was
rapidly approaching the citadel of
life. But a remedy was tried, merely
by way of experiment, which, to the
surprise of all present, acted like a
charm, the component parts of
which were onions, tobacco and salt,
of equal parts, made into's, poultice
and applied to the wound, and at the
same time a cord was bound tight
ly about the wrist. In two hours
afterwards he had so far recovered
as to be able to resume hici work. I
know an old negro who cured a boy
that had been bitten by a mad dog,
by the same application."

of four wives, and about 300 other

one hundred white and black ser

They narrowly escaped with their
lives. All the costly furniture, val

fell a prey to the flames. The total

AN INSTANCE OF MERCANTILE IN
TEGRITY.
The Boston Journal records the foffow
ing: "About twenty years ago a young
man named Thomas Hardy, of South
Danvers, in this State, meeting with mis
fortune in business , determined to leave
his native town ai.d seek his fortune in the
West, with the flrra resolve that if Provi
dence smiled upon his efforts he would re
turn and pay his debts to the uttermost
farthing. After struggling fora long time
at the West, with varied success, he pro
ceeded to California about six years ago,
and there accumulated a handsome for
tune. Having thus accomplished his de
sires, Le recently returned to South Dan
vers for the purpose of cancelling the
claims of his old creditors. This he did
in full, paying both principal and interest,
amounting to 25,000 dollars. While
doing business in South Danvers he had
a partner, whose share of the debts of the
firm he has liquidated, as well as his
own. Not satisfied with this, he made a
number of generous gifts, and on M-onday
evening gave a splendid entertainment to
his old friends and associates. Such in
cidents as this are an honor to human na
ture, and furnish a• bright example for
young merchants and business men to
imitate."
HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS.
If the covers of sofas and chairs are
dirty, they may be cleansed without being
removed, by first washing them over with a
flannel, then before they are dry, sponge
them over with a strong solution of salt
and water, in vt hick a small quantity of
gall has been mixed. The windows of
the root:: should be open so as to secure•a
perfect drying, and the colors and
freshness of the article will thus be re
stored. Floor-cloths may be cleaned
with a mixture of magnesia, only milk
warm, followed by warm water in the
seine manner that carpets are cleansed.—
They should be rubbed with dry flaun el
till the polish is restored. This is a pro
cess much to be preferred to that of rub
bing the cloth with wax, whieh leaves it
sticky and liable to retain the dust and
dirt for a long time. Very hot water
should never be used in cleaning floorcloth,
as it brings off the paint. Cleaning mir•
rors and polished steel articles is an easy
operation, when rightly understood. The
greatest care should be taken in cleaning
a mirror to use only the softest articles,
lest the glass should be scratched. It
should first be dusted with a leather
brush, then washed over with a sponge
dipped in spirits to remove the fly-spots
after this it should be dusted with the
powder blue in a thin muslin bag, and
finely polished with an old silk handker
chief. Polished steel articles, if rub
bed every morning with leather, will
not become dull or rusty ; but if rust has
been suffered to gather, it must be imme
diately removed by covering the steel
with sweet oil, and allowing it to remain
on for two or three days; then sprinkle
it over will-. finely powdered unelacked•
lime, and rub it with polishing leather.
POMPEII HAS REVEALED NEW SE
CRETS.
A late letter from Naples says
that five fresh roams have been laid
open in that part of the buried city
which has been uncovered this year,
not far from the Forum. Ainong the
articles discovered in these rooms
were a number of pieces of bread,
which must have been wrapped up
in a napkin, the tissue of which is
still in a perfect state of preserva
tion.
There has been also found a pretty
Beal, baying for its motto the words
"Ani Which M. Fiorelli, the
inspector of the excavations, consid
ers an abbreviation of a proper
name--"Anicelus Modestus." 31.. Fe
lix Padiglione, the artist who is re
producing Pompeii, in cork, at one
hundred' of its natural size, has just
added considerably to that work,
which travellers may see in the
small museum of odds and ends at the
ruins.
A New Draft Fraud
A Washington special says :—ln
many cases it is understood that able
bodied men presented to the Board of
Enrollment, and accepted, are re
placed before they arrive at the gen
eral rendezvous, by feeble men ans
wering the same name, unfit for mili
tary ditty. To guard against this
trick the Provost Marshals will here
after be held responsible for the de
livery of the identical men passed
and accepted at the rendezvous.
Fashionable Wedding
A fashionable Redding came off at
