The guide thought, and the drivers believed, that the storms would cease at 12M™., and we, of course, trusted to their judgment. But, instead, the storm grew fiercer, the snow fell more rapidly, and the Dorthwest gale increased In fury. Before night 50 much snow had failen that if it had lain as it fell tt would have been at least one fcot deep, but now it has been piled into drifts so that our poor mules stood with their feet nearly as high as the wagon tops, and the stove and fur- niture in our cook’s tent were completely hid- den from view. The night shut in upon us gloomy and awful. We bad two light canvas (ents, in each of which slept four men, with just blankets enough to keep them comfortable in ordinary Weather. But now we must provide for the guide, two drivers and a porte, who had usu- iy slept in the wagons, and as they were it siimly provided with clothing, we must share our stock with them. So into the larger tent we took them. There was Dut little sleep in the tent that night, for the cold was intense, ind the wind was so terrible in its effects thai we feared every moment the larger tent would fall, though we had strengthened it by poles and cords in every conceivable way. With the morning light it seemed as if all the spirits of the air were let loose, and all day long the storm roared with ever-increasing fury. The snow had so beaten in that when we awoke we found ourselves buried beneath it, and now we were obliged to gather all our bedding into the middle of the tent to keep it trom being wet through. No man could long endure the storm outside, and we stood huddled together from morning till night, stamping our feet to keep from suffering. Even then we could not, kee comfortable. For hours together we stood wit! our backs braced against the tent to keep it from giving way under the great weight of the snow and the terrific force of the gale. I know of no language which can be used to convey to any person iyexperienced in such a time any adequate conéption of the fury of the storm. During the second day we succeeded in Gigging our Httle stove out of the snow-drift, and, set- tng it at the entrance to our tent, we managed to keep a little fire through the rest of the day and the night. But our store of wood was very small, and there was no more to be had within we Enew not how many miles. The other tent’s company had no stove and no fire. During the second nicht of the storm tt was im- possible that ail should sleep at once, even if they could sleep despite the cold, for what with the stove on one side, and all our provisions, broveht in from the wagons, on the other, there Was not room for alltoliedown. Besides, it Was becessary to keep the fire going, test we might ail perish together. So we stood vending over the stove all night, two at a time, while the others tried to sleep. It was an awful night, To add to our anxiety, the guide and drivers declared that the horses ‘and mules were likely to perish, They were a pitifa! sight, indeed. Two of them had no blankets and the others were little better off. At times it was difficult to conceive that the creatures before us were horses, so literaliy covered were they with a coating of ice. After two days and two nights the storm cease. It Was how Sunday morning. We knew not where we were, and we doubted If the guide had more definite knowledge than we. Every Man was desperate. Some declared it danger- ous to attempt to move through the snow, and that our only safe course was to remain, aud, in case of necessity, uso the wagons for iuel and the horses for food. Others declared their pur- ose to Move at all hazards and without delay. Inally we determined to move. We threw away all luggage that could be dispensed with, and in grim silence started in che direction which we thougat would bring us to the nearest hut. It was difficult traveling through the drifted snow, and it was bitterly cold. But all day long we pushed on, never stopping to feeda horse, breaving through the drifts with our eS so that the teams could fotlow, till about 5p. m., when we came in sight of bay stacks, tn the vicinity of which we knew there must bea ranchman’s hut. I never saw a happler set of men than were these when it became certain that what we saw were hay stacks, and not the terlble sand bil!s which had so often deceived us dut-ng the day.

The New York correspondent of the Roches- ter Democrat writes: Now that the theaters are open for the season, 21 in number, including concerts, the question of applause is one of much iroportance. It is well Known that not only the players depend on their friends to Start these tlatcering expressions, but the man- agers also employ leaders to strike in at the Sensational occasions. It may be added that applause as a part of public performances fs as old as history itself. The Isthmian games were accompained by loud —_votifera- Uons, which were heard as far as the sea. From Greece the custom reached ome, and Seneca speaks of clapping the hands and waving robes. The Komans had three kinds of applause. One was the bombu: which resembled the loud buzzing of bees, ant Was made by the mouth and hands. The next was the imbrices, caused by beating on the sounding vessels placed in theaters for that purpose, and the third was the testa, which Was merely an increase on the last-mentioned. From the theater the custom passed natutaliy to thechureh, and, though this was censured by Augustine, it Was still common to greet a tine passage in a sermon by a demonstration. Some plous people carry out this very idea when they utter their fervent “amen,” as the preacher pours cut his eloquent and moving utterances, Some of the clergy are gratitied at such things, as it shows that the congregation §s listening. ‘but the custom is generally on the decline.

Neptune is the evening star after the 4th, when he isin opposition. Though too distant be seen with the naked eye, he is in excellent sition for telescopic observation. Mercury is evening star till the 23d when he is in inferior conjunction with the sun and passing to his western side joins the morning stars. His maovements during the early part of the month demands special attention. He reaches his east- ern song toa or most distant point from the sun on the 4th, and ts favorably situated for be- ing seen as evening star than he will be for the rest of the year. The best time to look for him 1s on the 4th, soon after sunset. Venus and the crescent will help to point out his positlon, which is about one degree, or twice the diameter of the sun, south of Venus. The moon ts in close conjunction both Venus and Mercury on the 4th. being, When at her nearest point, only seven- teen minutes south of Venus, and forty-nine minutes north of Mercury. The difficulty in sera, Ara planet les in not knowing where to Jook, but with Venus andthe moon to point the way, a caretul observor may hope to be re- warded with a sight well worth watching for, a brilliant white star, shining with a light resemb- ling Sirius, and yet so hard to find that astrono- mers like Tycho Brahe and Copernicus have died without the sight. It must be remembered Uhat Mereury may be found one degree south of Venus, between her and the horizon, and the moon wiil be between the two planets, Mercury will set about an hour after the sun, the moon and Venus within » few minutes of each other about a quarter after 6 o'clock. If the weather be unpropitious on the 4th, the planet may be fourd for a few days before or after. © Jupiter is evening star, and though shining with royal grace as he mounts grandly to the zenith, presents no new ese te rceptibie diminution. The great spot still lights his disc with its ruddy hue, and, though he has passed perihelion, believers in the ageney of the planets in producing solar commotion will see evidence of a retreating pall In the battalions of snow-flakes that in mid-October over- whelmed the West and blockaded the trains With snow-drifts ten feet high; in the terrific sea that raged on the Western dakes; in the wu- seasonabte severity of Canadian snow storms; in the shocks of earthquake on the Spanish peninsula; and in the irightfal warfare of the elements In Buenos Ayres that caused the death of more than a million of catile in mid- September. Jupiter fs now more tnan an hour above the horizon at sunset, and sets shorily after 4 o’ciock In the moraing; at tne end of the month about 2. Venus is evening star and will be Heeplosen | to behold in the southwest throughout November. ‘Venus and Ji te are so situated tn regard to each other that they form the most attactive feature of the sky In the early eventng.

At the same time, and, before any other ~tars are visible, Jupiter rises slowly in the east gor- geously briillant avafnst the dark backgrouad of the sky. As Venus sinks towards the horizon Jupiter mounts towards the zenith, and the Planetary play may be watched for an hour. Jupiter 1s now the more brilliant, but hts lustre is waning, and he will soon be eclipsed by the radiant queen of the stars, who before many moons have waxed and waned, will reign with- out arival. Venus now scts about a quarter after 6: al the end of the month, abont a qua» ter before 7, more than two hours after the sun. Mars 1s morning star, but there 1s lithle to commend him to otice during the oath, as he rises and sets so neatly at the same time with the sun. He rises now a littie before halt past six, preceding the sun only a few minutes; At the close of the month about a quarter after 6, nearly an hour before the sun.

Thus it will be seen that the November nights will be full of interesting planetary incidents. The evening of the 4th will be Specially noteworthy. A fascinating picture will be painted on the early evening sky, The two-days-old crescent moon, the radiant Venus and swift-footed Mercury may all be seen if the clouds do not conceal the celestial canvas. At the same time Mercury reaches his most distant point from the sun, and Nepture reaches his opposition when’ he 1s most favorably situated for telescopic observation, Jupiter and Venus will be delightful to watch, as one advances and the other recedes over the celestialroad, The clear and crisp November nights are inspiring to star-gazers, for besides the aspects of the planetary — brotherhood, so ersonal in interest to the dwellers oa this ittie planet, the sky is alive with clustering constellations, including some of the most radiant stars that twinkle in the northera concave.—Providence Journal, 31st. ‘The Colored Man’s Telegram. {Easton (Md ) Star.)

Starting from this point, the course | Of so-called educational development up to a recent period has been natural, logical, and— common-place. There have been just three steps to it—memorizing. examinations, pro- fams—the last two, the latest educational hobbies bullt upon the traditional foundation | of the first. The way in which these led from one on to the next is obvious enough. In the first place, time out of mind, all knowledge was, educa- | tionally speaking, looked upon a3 a vast acca- mulation of facts, rules and definitions, aud the grand aim and object of teaching was to tin- part as many as possible of these to the youth. ful mind, ‘The way to impart was to cause them to be laborionsiy committed to memory. | ‘Thus the teacher sat in hl3 cha'r, a sort of lone | fisherman on the shore ef the great ocean of things known, and he hooked up out of it now | a rule, and now a fact, and then again a defint- ton, and he gave them to the children, and Saw that they swailowed them whether they | liked them or not, and whether they were nourished by them or not. But in proces3 of | time It became apparent to the more obsevving | that the knowledge thus imparted was not re: | tained, and the examination was then devised | aS a means of assuring the purveyor of | knowledge that the facts, rules and deilaitions | imparted were held, 80 to speak, on_the intct- lectual stomach for at least a reasonable period. ‘The examination, however, as It was organly and gradually ramified Into a fully develops whole, almost necessariiy called the program into existence. The world of knowledge was too large, there were too many facts and rules and definitions for the teache well as for the taught; and so, for the protectioa of the former, It became necessary to stake out from the wide domain, by certain metes and bounds, the districts within which he was to search for the hidden treasures. Anything obtained or to be obtained outside was not to count. The pro- gtam was thus a relief tothe teacher, clearly | marking as it did the limits within which the cramming process was to be carried on. it mad his work possible. The development of the sy tem was then complete. Under these circumstances, education being reduced to a little raore than a mechanical pro- cess of cramming, with periodical nerve trials to ascertain the degree of retention, the average child not unnaturally felt toward his school | and what was there required of him very muca | as a learned dog or monkey may be supposed to feel toward his task-master. Accordingly, the sickening dislike of school, and of things caught at school, is with the majority of those emanci- pated from it almost the strongest association | connected with early life. | Pugilism Then and Now. (New York Btar.] Prize-fighting, like every thing else in this age | of improvement, has advanced greatly over the | f'edge-hammer style of the generation that has ee away. The old-fashioned piize-fighters, ike Yankee Sullivan, Tom Hyer, John Morris: sey, and men of their stamp, depended, in a | great measure, upon the amount of strengih and endurance they possessed tor success in the | arena bounded by the ropes. A battle was a | series of hard blows, given and taken without Ninechiog, and the conflict was often one of great length. All this is alicred at the present Gime, andthe young members of the P. k. who are now taking the places of the old-timers are given more to sclentific sparring. A reporter for the Star dropped tn at Harry Hill’s Theater last ee and found the “veleran” busily engaged looking after the comforis of bis guests. After a tew moments Harry and the reporver were seated at a table, and the reporter asked Mr. Hill’s opinion of the prize ring of the present day. “Well, there's been a big change, my boy, said Harry, looking thoughtfully retrospect “A big change, there ain’t no denying that.” “In what manner has it changed?” inquired the reporter. many ways.

Come in my picture gallery and see,” and the veteran led the re- porter to a room whose walis were decorated ‘with pictures of gentlemen whose costume con- sisted of a pair or breeches and a pair of shoes, and who were all drawn in an attitude that betokened that they were not members of the Soclety of Friends. ; * Look you here,” sald Harry, tapping a ple- ture of an old English prize-figuter, ** oes ‘see what a position this here man ts fn.

The young "uns have the science, you know, and they get themselves up artistic-itke. The position is much more “Has there been any improvement ia the ap- pllances of the prize ring?” “ I can’t say as there has; things Is about the same as they always was. The only change that I can think of is that they make the gloves longer and tighter than they used to.” “Are the same methods adopted in training for fights as were used years azo?” “Just the same, There as been very little if any change in that respect in the last twenty- five or thirty years.” - Just at this moment Jimmy Kelly came in.

He has taken part in twelve patties within the last six years, and bears as souvenirs of these friendiy meetings a broken ear, a broken nose and a broken it, although there is very little evidence to show it. The re- porter asked Kelly’s opinion of the prize ring of to-day. “Why, it’s far better than ever it was. The old chaps didn’t know anything about science; they just knocked one another about, but the young. men of to-day who are prize-fighters are ali sctence.” “Then you ea the re generation is su- rior to that of the past?
