The snow-drifts pile the window-ledge, The frost is keen, the air is still: The lane that lies below the bill Is drifted even with the hedge; Gray skies, and dark trees shaken bare, Blue smoke that rises straight in air: And down the west a yellow glare Is driven like a wedge. -Frank Tooker in Sershasr.

THE CHEYENNE MASSACRE. Better a cave in the mountain's stern, A home in the swamp's morasses, Where the herds of buffalo never turn And foot of the deer ne'er passes: Better a death on the open plains Than life made weary by dungeon and chains. Out of the fort, in the cold, gray dawn, They rush for the forest cover; The steeds are mounted, the sabres drawn And heir dream of life1la Qvgr 4 For Murder rides on an army horse, And it writes its brand on each Cheyenne corse. Fraud in high places honor in few; Tue crime is the stn's upheaval; Poison will come to the surface anew And evil begets but evil; Words of hypocrisy may conceal, But they cannot remove the sores nor heal. -Boston Post.

OVER THE BANISTERS. Over the banisters bends a face, Dartingly sweet and beguiling; Somebody stands in careless grace, And watches the picture, smiling. The light burns dim in the hall below; Nobody sees her standing, Saying good-night again, soft and low, Halt way up to the landing. Nobody, only the eyes of brown, Tender and full of meaning, That smile on the fairest face in town. Over the banisters leaning.

Tired and sleepy, with drooping head, I wonder why she lingers, And when all the good-nights are said! Why, somebody holds her fingersHolds her fingers and draws her down, Suddenly growing bolder. Till her loose hair drops it masses brown Like a mantle over his shoulder. Over the banisters soft hands fair Brush his cheek like a feather; Bright brown tresses and dusky hair Meet and mingle together. There's a question asked, there's a swift casess; She has flown like a bird from the halway; But over the banisters drops a Yee That shall brighten the world for alray. -Ella Wheeler, in the Inter-Ocean.

JOHNNY SKAE. A PEN PICTURE OF THE MANIPULATOR OF SITERRA NEVADA. From the Portland (Oregon) Standard. JOnn usas, or name as ne is more familiarly called, who has lately brought himself into prominence by trying to perform an Atlas feat with the Sierra Nevada mine, is a perfect sample of the San Francisco stock gambler. He was born about thirty-eight years ago in Windsor, Canada, a small town opposite Detroit, Michigan.

Having studied telegraphy, he came to Sfn tained a position in the Western Union offlee, where, by keeping his wits about ken and his tongue tied, he soon learned to profit by the scraps of knowledge picked up about the office. Having made considerable money in stock speculations he invested largely in the Virginia City Water Company, and in 1867 was able travel in Europe with his two sisters, having aninsured income of $16,000 a year. He was always famous for his good luck, and while at Baden-Baden and Weisbaden, eclipsed the brother of the Sultan, in his heavy winning at rouge et noir and roulette. It was actually sad to see the poor men lose their last son on the turn of a card while this rich young man won at every play. He always has had a penchant for frappe wine and pretty actresses, but his love for the latter has somewhat subsided since his marriage and his payment of $10,000 to compromise a breach of promise suit with one of two sisters kpown years ago upon the California stage.

His never-failing good fortune mpde him reckless, and his recklessness made him a millionaire. He had worked" with the Flood O'Brien clique for a long time, and, it is said, was looked upon by them infallible in his prediotionu regarding the rise and fall of the ainlag stock barometer. He made a mistake, like Casar, and has been Almost slain for his ambition. He tried to "go is alone" in his unaceustomed to the great ocean of big schemes, and paradoxical as it tstsyeeund, would have been swapped badntot FiMod same to hisa Ielp us Cassias, ore I sink," and forthwith Flood "took him in out Of the wet." Johun. 8kaM 1s not an dusated man, in the naal sceeptatios of the term, but Is aharp-witted, a pleasant companlia, and as bright as a new dollar in all business atfairs.

He ii rather "loud in dress, but refined at heart, retiring in disposition, generous to his friends, and a perfect father to his sisters. He makes up his mind in a dash, and sad like the lightnlng, all the eIaotricltj at his commana, goes with the blow. 7he young stock speenlators in San Francisco look upon ram as their leader, and te lon safely say, knosing his quick perception and "serve," that if Jim Fisk ever has a rival on this coast As a keen-eyed eagle to closely watch the market and then swoop dewn from his broker olae and bear off millions, that man will be our friend Johnny Skae.

WARM fT WWTfl. SOME SEASONABLE ADVTICE ROM A L4ND THAT IS JUST NOW WANmEE TEAK THIS.

Btongeer take it, is, no doubt, am ness; but thousands this Od. plaint to whom eugee Ish obtainable onCe a week, who do not enjoy it even then, and'who find that, although walking produces an effect, it icone which does not last half an hour afteihe exercise has ceased. The obillinese recommences as they through tin- ball of their own hous14ad Ii an hour they are suffering almost ly as ever. Nevertheless, they have during the walk passed through an experience whioh, if they would only comprehend It, would pro them from one-half of the misery they compti of. They have not only walked, but they have walked wall clothed.

The Englishman, even if he lives in olties, understands out-door life; and if he walks out on a frosty day, walks out in thick, close-fitting boots, in a hat which warms his head, and in a coat which, being half an inch thick and made of wool, protects him as well as nature protects most animals. It is when he comes in doors that he dresses most foolishly. He has still to guard against a low thermometer, he loses the quickness of circulation produced by exercise, and he Is exposed to draughts he does not feel abroad; but be uncovers his head, uncovcovers his hands, partially uncovers his feet, and divests himself entirely of his out. door fleece. A sheep or a bear, which did the same thing In Its house or den, would die naturally enough of pulmonary disease.

No inhabitant of a country where cold is sharp enough or long continued enough to impart a self-defensive instinct, ever does anything of the kind, but keeps on as much of his out-door clothing as will keep up the sense of warmth. The Russian of the North, if he cannot thoroughly warm his house, kqeps on his sheepskin, as the Esquimaux ears his furs, as if it were the clothing natife intended him to wear. The Englisman alone divests himself of so many articlesbf dress that he feels chilly, and then runs, to the fire to warm his hands andteet to enjoy the high temperature which a fire in the grate diffuses for about five feet from the fender. Warm clothing in the house would protect him as completely as out of the house; but he thinks it nndigbitied to wear it, and prefers cowering over a fire to clothing himself reasonably, and being accused immediately of effeminacy or of coddliog himself. Women are exempt from this diffi culty, and, being aware of the peculiai beauty of shawls as drapery, wear when chilly extra elothing within the houpe without scruple but men, uatess old or able to plead weakness of the lungs, would not put a common silk skull oap-the ooat -ffective of all protections agalnstl -for the woild, and res4 impossible.

et cthing we warm them completely, and prevent all the chills of which they stand in such habityal dread. No defense against draughts is so perfect as a common silk handkerchief tied over the head, and a silk dress, or one of wash leather put on between the shirt and waistcoat, will keep the body more eq ally warm than agoodfire. A waddedL coat will enable the chilly man to sit and work anywhere indoors, and so will an ex. tra suit of thin flannel worn during the whole of the active day. Just let any one who doubts what we say try the very simple expedient, when the chill becomes unbearable, of putting on his dressing gown over his ordinary clothing, and in five minutes he will be perfectly comfortable and wo hleh notan ready for any work, while he will not suffer as he fancies le will, when he goes out of doors.

The popular notion upon that subject is a delusion. You are not stiengthened for out door life by shivering in doors, but rather weakened; habitual warmth, it not tuo great, being one of the best preservatives of human strength. chilly man might as well refuse blankets in bed because they would increase bis sense of cold when he got up, as refuse warm clotbing in doors because out of doors he would not be so sensible of his great coat. The object is not to be sensible of a pleasant difference, but to be and to remain and healthfully warm-to be. insensible, in fact, to ordinary diSeremodi of temperature.

From the New York Herald.

At the time of the death of the magician Robert Heller very general Interest was felt as to the disposition of his apparatus, some of which was unique and costly and largely of his own invention. When his will was published the following clause was found I have spent years of toil and much money ndg my tricks to their present state of etion, and I do not see why any one reap the reward of my life of labor." her, In spite of his physical always been a genial. generous and as his half-sister were left behim, this appeared very strange to his no little comment. made hythe press that it his list hours lle hart revoked the direction to deIlis apparatus. HELLER'S DEBTS.

Heller died in Philadelphia, leaving 964 debts for rent, stage hands and newsbills amounting in all to about $750. wa.a generally believed, however, that Beller was a very rich man, and no apsion was felt by his creditors until were met by a refusal to pay. Meanbefore Miss Heller could obtain poeof the apparatus the owner of the his hall where Heller had been lvoied on it, and declined to let it till his claim, at all events, was satisOther creditors, thinking that was idea, followed suit, and it was feared Apparatus meet be sold unless funds be raised to redeem them at once. A few days since Miss Heller and Dan" illgte went to Philadelphia and endeavto arrange with the owner of the ball, they were not prepared to pay in full their proposition was not at first accepted. After a while the friendly Interference of the landlord's lawyer was invoked and amicable adjustment was made.

Then the apparatus was -emoved and brought to this this city, the landlord offering no objection in the interest of the other creditors. In this connection it is of interest to know that although Mr. Heller made money fast he spent, loaned and lost it nearly as rapidly. He was also largely interested in stock speculations, and, unfortunately, lost much more than be made. Lookout, for Sheep and Wool.

The editor of the wool department of the Rural World writes The steady decline in the wool market during the past year has been unable to check the interest taken in sheep. A few years ago-after the war-the depression; in prices, although not so severe as now, caused a rush out of the business. Hun(keds of thousands of sheep were slaughterASfor their bides and tallow. Not so now na. To-day the average grades half merino bl fine or full blood merino and Soxony fleeces have declined 25 per cent.

Combing wools have fallen off during the year 36 per cent. Still, the interest gains in the flocks over all other productive industries. A Missouri man writes "My sheep have paid me well, while my--cattle- have paid me nothing." The attention of capitalists is more and more called to investments in sheep. The cause of all this confidence in the futqre of sheep has to be the solid foundation of the market. So long as people are born naked, so long will wool be used for clothing.

The market is solid and seems likely to stay so. Until there is more general employment for the masses who buy woolen goods, there is no prospect of better prices for woolen goods or wool. It requires good sheep, good handling, to make the growing of wool profitable. With these two combired, wool-growing is better, safer, and faster than cattle, horses, or hogs, on cheap land or on best land. A gentleman in Bureau county, Illinois, on land worth 980 per acre, and grand his 25 Cotswold ewes were Atbe best paying stock on his faros His were nearest the barn, receiving his best care, while the short-horns were taken in tnestalk-feld, with the thermometer 100 qel6 zero.

He liad per acre, sheep were the very best stock to keep. At no time since the war are men without experience or a knowledge of the sheep basiness investing so largely in sheep. Not knowing the price of wool, one would suppose the market was buoyant from the zeal in the business. Among some the fear has existed that the business would be overdone, but how can such be the case while we import nafrly as munch as we grow? Our population Is increasing faster than our wool Suppose our wool crop was to be more than we needed. American enterprise would make our wools excel theworld-in -quality and excellence.

It. is not very long since that the mere possibility Gf the existence of such a thing as the telephone of to-day was to be scouted. Now an ordinary telephone is not considered anything unusual by any one.

But there is a telephonic apparatus now in operation between the office of the Fire Alarm Telegraph, presided over by Mr. B. F. Blackall, and his residence at No. 42 North Union Street, that puts anything before exhibited a little in the shade.

It is an improvement on the transmitting instrument of the Bell telephone, and its principal novel feature consists in the connecting of the apparatus with a battery. The air piece is thutsawe as in the ordinary telephone. A detailed description of Natoeaaemnnlgaetd.w Blackili meetlit neiasidy to -dad eat gentleman holding the ear piece to his head, while Mr. Blackall was walking about the room talking in his ordinary tone of voice to his daughter Minnie at his residence fully a mile away. TLe mouth piece was againsatha wall and some feet away from the speaker.

In a moment the reporter was given the ear piece and Mr. Blackall went into another room, at least thirty feet away from the mouth piece, and spoke in a tone of voice very slightly raised. The answer came as promptly and distinctly as possible, and showed that his message must have been heard with perfect ease. All this notwithstanding that the mouth of the transmitter was pointed in the opposite direction from Mr. Blackall, the sound having to strike the opposite wall and rebound, as it were, at least twelve feet, making forty-two feet in all.

Afterward Miss Blackall played on her piano in another room, some 25 or 30 feet from the instrument. Then she whispered into the telephone with surprisingly distinct results. Taking all in all the new improvement is the most wonderful in use so Express. Goetss Gone to Sleep. From the Omaha, Republican.

Perhaps nothing in our geology is more novel and interesting than the extinct geysers and hot springs of our State. We associate the presence of such phenomena with the Yeolewstone region. But there was a period which closed in geologically reoent times, after having lasted for countless centuries, when geysers and hot springs were among the most common phenomena of the plains of Nebraska, Kansas and Dahota. The marks of their former presence are feond occasionally along the Niobrara, on the Upper Loup, and especially along the valley of the Republican and its tributaries. In 1868 I found some extinct tubes of geysers on the Bazile and between that stream and the north fork of the Elkborn.

In the summer of 1874, while examining a section of country between the Platte and Frenchman's Fork, I occasionally came across depqpits of geyserite near and along the latter river. Afterward I observed them between the Beaver and the Republicn, and along the latter river to the wet line of the State. I have reqently had a conversation with Frank )i.

Recently a York street family entertained a number of friends, and among the guests was a Nicholas street young man with mis. chief in his eye, and who had a penchant for practical joking. There was also in the party a BSssex street merchant who boasted during the evening of being able to put the strongest mind In the room under the influence of mesmerism. It occurred to the Nicholas street young man that he could have a jolly time, and his eye twinkled and a smile beamed over his face as he announced himself ready for the sacrifice. The merchant commenced the operation, and in less than two minutes concluded that heehad Nicholas street young man nd' He was allowed.

thik so, for his subject performed all sorts of ludicrous tricks at his suggestion, much to the amusement of the company. Half an hour later the merchant considered that it was time to restore the young man to his senses, but he soon discovered that he was powerless to perform chat act, and to all appearances had lost control of his-subject. When he had been under the influence for an hour the merchant began to get scared, and so did the company, who looked upon the affair as a genuine transaction. Finally a doctor was sent for, but before he arrived the young man had kissed all the young ladies in the room and scattered the company around in every direction. When the doctor arrived at the house he had fully recovered, and it was not until to-day that the cat was let out of the bag.
