TWICE BURIED. Half way from Leadville to the plaiiiH half way, and by a new trail running away into the sonthwest and down along the canyon of the "lotto ; half way only, and my horse worn, my food gone, and night clone at haud. Night in February death, cold. I wrapped my blanket yet closer aliont my shoulders and urged my stoed for ward through the gloaming. " Curse my luck !" I muttered. " Ex oept for Black Dan's threat I would have gone by the stage in comfort. And yet, to have braved his gang would have hMn certain destruction ! I'll warrant they've ambushed the night coach, in tending to catch me. But I've slipped them this time, and Uncle Sam has the proof that he wants at last. Three days more, my rascals, and you'll jump these mountains or wear handcuffs, if I reach Pueblo alive 1 " I shook Charlie's reins to' liasten his speed, and whistled ulieerily to Don, my great St. Bernard. I "We must reach Johnson's ranch on the Platte, old friends, or sleep out, and it's too cold for that," I muttered. I was returning from a search for cer tain desjferadoes wanted in the courts at Pueblo. The cutthroats had hidden in the mining camps about Leadville, and my search had been a long one. Finding them at last, however, and the proof of their crimes with them, I was alwmt to return and make arrangements for their arrest, when by some unknown means they learned who I was, and I fled. Fled, pursued by the wrath of the worst man between the Gunnison and Denver Black Dan. Had he found me my life would not have leen worth the toss of a card. J must reach the settle ments quickly and return with a foreo in order to capture my game, arid that without delay. In the gloaming of the morning I had begun my perilous horseback journey ; in the gloaming of the evening I was continuing it No soul had met me along the wagon trail, and I believed that I had tricked my enemies. The blackness of the canyon crept up, the narrow trail ran down, and among great masses of bowlders, across patches of snow, and again along the bare earth. I followed with watchful eye the indis tinct path until, ustat the verge of the . last steep descent that should carry me into-the river gulch itself, I halted for a moment to rest my weary horse. " Only a little further, Charlie," said I, dismounting and patting his drooping head; "a couple of miles more, and well strike supper and a bed. You've done well, old boy, and saved mth " A sudden fierce growl from my dog, as he sprung. toward the shadow of the pines behind me, a single lance of light, ringing report, and, without a moan, I threw my hands quivering into the air, whirled heavily away from my horse, and fell. Black Dan had found me ! Slowiy, and with great pain, conscious ness returned consciousness, for my brain wa still alive, but not personality, lor of my body I knew nothing. What had happened? Laboriously my mind traveled through ! tha miata of death that still surrounded ii Wowly one idea followed another nntil at last came the knowledge that I sought I had been waylaid and shot. Tea, I remembered now! Remem Iwred the cry of my dog, the ring of a rifle, the sheet of flame, the blow ol uie 'ball, and then nothingness ! I had been shot and was dead ! And yet not dead, for pain revived, snd dead men feel no pain; I was shot, but not dead. And so came at last the consciousness of matter: I still lived. I sought to rise, but I could not, for 1 was bound ; bound hand and feet, arms and legs, body, neck and head, fingers, lips and eyelids, even ; bound, yet not with cords ! Where was I? What6 the trouble? Nearer and still nearer came the truth, as I groaned in spirit sand strug gled to.gain knowledge of myself ; near er and still nearer, until, with a mighty effort, throwing off all lethargy, I made one desperate attempt to rise; tnen me damp ?3r of new-broken earth filled my nostrils, the weight of newly-turned earth pressed upon my heart, the clirg ir.8 bonds of newly-dug earth bound me. and with a wiiacryui uvV. -pairl recognized my situahon-I was 'Toi't.t faint at first-life was too -but lav simply deadened, crushed hrthelcmddng "J mv wr stunned fuTroSngdsup 'tnd down, fTaht madness and of desire pledge rrtorofmydog and lapped m vvaUx' morn- . li wSh moans I dragged my g oaw"--. th.ir narrtfw oeo. and crept tremblingly down the little trail .toward the river, the blood oozing from the rifle wounds in my head, my eyes wild and fierce, my heart panting,' my life half gone. As I thought Black Dan most have followed and ambushed me, . then, sup posing me slain, he had the grace to seek to bury me. It was owing to his haste or his carelessness that my dog had been able to paw the loose dirt from my grave and save me. If I. could reach John son's ranch I might live ; if not I had been saved but to die a second time; for a fierce storm was brewing Along the mountain tops above my head. My horse was 1 gone, my rifle, pistols and knife, gone ; only the dog remained, and, faithful to the last, followed as X slowy and painfully trod the Oeaoentug bail toward the river. j , Suddenly, amid a wild roar j of wind and creaking of tree and whirljof freez ing finow, the storm burst, arid in its fury swept me from my feet, aid rolled me, crying and shouting, far down the canyon side, until a great bowlder caught . and held me. Then it raged on. Fierce and relentless the wild wind tore through the wilder forest, pitiless and cold the snow fell, and except I had dragged my broken, bruised body into a crevasse of the rock-ledge before me I had died where I laid. Then even blacker than ever fell the storm, and raged un ceasingly through all the slow hours of the day, until night came a second time to cast its pall upon the scene. And as the darkness crept up from the east, my last friend, my dog, who all day had laid at my feet, deserted me, speeding away through the shadows and snow. I was alone. And so, faint, wounded, cold, despair ing, as the moments grew life flickered, and when at last midnight broke my lamp went out. Again I lay uncon scious. All night the gale continued, and not until the dawn of the second day did it cease, when the newly-fallen snow lay deep and white over all. Within the crevasse of the rock, shelt ered from the touch of the cold white death and yet beneath it, I lay motion less ; above me the storm had spread a shroud so thick that no ray of light pen etrated to my tomb. Half-frozen, in a dreamless, painless sleep, the forerunner of a swift-coming rest, a mere wreck of a man, I was stretched upon a rock, and the glint of the sunshine among the pines or the tread of the wild beasts of the forest overhead mattered naught to me. ! ' Wh''-i my eyes opened they beheld nothintr.! when my hands wore out stretched they touched only the stone r.nd the 'snow, when my tongue cried out no ear listened. Again I was in terallied, and this time by an enemy more f relentless Cnn Black Dan even, by hands . more . i and pitiless than his. Fate and the storms of the mount ain had combined against me. I was buried a second time, but now with death for a companion I T knpvt that, I could not escape, and tlie very thought quieted me. There was no struggle, no moaning, no agony ; only a dull recklessness and want of care for life that betokened the depth .of my despair. I was dying. Slowly ; the moments passed. My thoughts were few and simple thoughts of fire and wood, thoughts of home and friends and comfort, thoughts of things warm and bright, but even these were f ading and my mind was wearily wrap ping itself in the cloak of annihilation, and mv body was fast sinking toward inanition ; when a bit of snow fell upon my upturned face. Had it been fire it could not have aroused me more quickly. The neit instant more fell, and still more, and then light began to gleam, and I heard the hurrying scrape of feet mingled with low whining. Don had returned and was digging me out. The revulsion of feeling was terrific ; a moment before I had laid passive in a tomb, longing for death ; now 1 fought and tore at the loosening snow line a madman, wild with the thought of life. Nearer and nearer came me resciuug feet, deeper grew the pile of snow be neath me, brighter the light above. The whining was mingled with growls now. Don liad friends to aid him. The bar rier was but three feet thick two one, it was trone ! and, even as I breathed the free air of heaven and my heart leaped within me and my lips uttered a clad cry. a dozen pairs ol great nouo eves buried into mine, a dozen gaunt forms crouched before me gnashing their gleaming fangs I had been res cued by a pack of mountain wolves. For a single instant I surveyed my .m.is. T w1i wounded and un armed : they strong, hungry and fero cious, a dozen to one, and then wiin a yell I sprung into their midst . It was the act of a madman, but I was mad. Death should tear me limb from limb now, and, with bare hands, I clutched at the first gray monster before me, and, grasped his shaggy throat as with hands of steel, seeking to throttle him. 1 Then the entire' pack with demoniacal bowls hurled themselves upon me. . The struggle was short I felt the hot breath of the brutes in my face, their red meuths yawned upon me ; their strong claws tore my buckskin Bhirt ; their teeth snapped, when suddenly a great white something was hurled from the back of snow above into the midst of the melee. A half-dozen dark forms fol lowed. Wild shouts, mingled with pis tol shots) and the heavy blows, broke upon my ears, the red blood of my as sailants dyed the spotless snow ; their My trusty dog had found the ranch, and ! arousing the men by his strange actions they had followed him in the early morning to where I was bidden, arriving at the spot just in the supreme moment of need. I was saved, and five days days later confronted Black Dan before the bar of the Criminal Court in Pueblo, and had the satisfaction of hearing sen tence passed upon him, while he trem bled as he stared at, the man whom he had buried among the peaks of the Bockys.

Tgpnat ' deo-ofei-sariry depend upon expensive viands ; but it &ot depend upon thought and care and skill in the preparation of the cheapest dishes. I can imagine a young couple with a very limited income enter taining two or three friends most pleas antly, if only the hostess and her cook perhaps her maid-of-all-work would take counsel together and market wise ly, and then devise and carry out a dainty menu consisting of soup, fish, meat and pastry. Excellent soup can be made from ox-cheek, and the tender meat eaten afterward with haricot beans and gravy a tootKsome dish. I think one reason of the coarse, unsatisfactory dinners we often see in middle-cla.ss houses is the false notion that " made dishes," as they are called, are expen sive, and that the most economical food is " srood plain roast and boiled." " This is quite a mistake, and either arises from or leads to an amount of careless lazi ness in our kitchens that is unknown in the humblest French establishment, where the first business of the day is to go to market to choose suitable materi als for the day's consumption, and net to shirk all responsibility by ordering a leg of mutton or a sirloin of beef, weigh ing about ten or twelve pounds, and which of course is expensive. A clever housekeeper soon finds out that tho cheaper cuts of good meat make dishes as dainty and nice, when properly treated, as the most expensive ; but they won't cook themselves, or permit of being put down to the fire and then left till they are roasted. They must be delicately and carefully prepared, and GEN.

His father, a native of Montgainer y - County.

He is, therefore, a tittle more than 56 years of age. HIS KABLT IjIFB Was passed at Norriatown, Pennsylvania, and he was educated at the academy in that place. He was a studious, thought ful boy, whose selection to read the Dec laration of Independence one Fourth of July, when he was 15 years of age, was one of his , first honors. , With that ancestry it was almost impossible that the youth should look forward to any but a military career, and the next yenr he was appointed to the Military Academy of West Point HIS CLASS-KATES 1CEXICAN WAR. He took his high rank as a scholar, graduating number eighteen in his class. Among his fellow cadets were U. S. Grant. Geo. B. McOlellan. John F. Rey nolds (killed at Gettysburg), J. L. Reno (Killed at outn mountain;, ciituwue, Wm. B. Franklin, " Baldy " Smith, both of whom have been present at Cincinnati, and Lonarstreet. "Stonewall" Jackson, and the two Hills. In he Mexican War he was conspicuous for gallantry at San Antonin, Contreras, Cherubusco, Molino del Rey and the assault and capture of the City of Mexico. His first brevet was given iiim August 20, 1847, for "gal lantry and meritorious conduct at Con trerasand Cherubusco." JTHK OUTBREAK. OF THE REBELLION. For the next ten years he served as quartermaster and adjutant in the West, in the Indian war in Florida,' the Utah Expedition and at the outbreak of the Rebellion was stationed at Los Angeles. When Sumter was fired upon, Southern California was infused with Southern sympathies, but in spite of the unpopu larity, Hancock, by public speecnes and example, applied himself to sustaining and spreading Union sentiments.- His services were of great value in preserving California to the Union.

TUB TF.KRLM.I.K STRAIN ON TIIR EN GINEER. When people read about, or ride upon, extraordinarily- ost trains they seldom think of the severe strain and excite ment to which the bravo men who run the engines are subjected, lo sit m a passenger coach and glide over a smooth track is a very different thing from standing on the shaking footboard, with hand on the lever, straining eyes and earn to detect a possible, danger, every nerve tense and every thought centered on the safe accomplishment of the jour ney upon which so many lives depend. What such a labor means is shown to some degree in a recent dispatch an nouncing the death, at the early age of 39. of William Phillips, the engineer who ran the celebrated Jarrett Palmer train from Jersey City to Pittsburgh, a distance of 443 miles, without a stop. The dispatch says: "Mr. Phillips has been sick for nearly a year past, his ill ness dating really from the time when he undertook the task of running the Jarrett t Palmer tram. He accom plished the feat in less than schedule time, but the strain on his system was so severe that he never recovered from it. He continued on duty, and was called upon invariably when a trusty man was required, but his health grew more precarious, and he was finally com pelled to relinquish his position.

On the express request of Me- Cli'lliin he was commissioned Brigiulier- Genoral and assiirned to the division of the Armv of the Potomac under com mand of " Baldy " Smith and took up his headquarters at Chain Bridge.

In November, 1867, he was ordered to assinue command of the Fifth Military District, with headquarters at New Or leans He at once issued his famous "Geseral Order No. 40" to the people of Lontyana and Texas: Gen. Hancock infortied them that he took command in aocorlance with the orders he had re ceive! from the headquarters of Jtlie army, but that he did not propose to rule tiem by military orders at all. He conoritulated the people of the South west 4iat peace and quiet reigned among them. To best preserve that state of thingf he proposed to let the civil author ities execute tne civil laws, narue re gai deo as only necessary to destroy op positioi to lawful authoritiy, but when peace vas established and wneu tne civu authorities were ready and willing to perfoiu their duties the military jower should cense to lead and tne civu anumi istraticn should resume its natural and rightfil conditions. He declared him kp1 Kiiemnlv impressed with the belief that tie great principles oi tne Ameri can lierty were the lawful inheritance of the vhole people, and snoiua iorever conthue to be. He declared that the right of trial by jury, habeas corpus, liberty of the press, freedom of speech, the natural rights of person and ot prop erty should be preserved. He believed that ftee institutions being essential to the prosperity and happiness of the peo ple were themselves tne strongest in ducements to peace and order. He de clared that the icivil authorities and tribunals should have the consideration of, and jurisdiction over, crimes and of fenses, and should be supported in the exercise of that jurisdiction.

Such reasons for estab lishing military commission would wipe civil government and law and liberty from the face of the earth. He showed with clearness that if he set aside the laws enacted for the people of the States lately in rebellion, which laws were not in conflict with the Con stitution and acts of Congress, there would no longer exist any rignts of per son and property, and he demonstrated the absurdity of a military commission to establish wills, deeds, successions, or to settle any of the thousand .questions which arise tietween men, for the solution of which laws and courts were established and for dealing' with which military commissions were utterly in capable. He finally showed from the statistics that neither crime nor disloyal offenses were on the increase under the operation of "Order So. 40," but the contrary was pmresslv true. During his entire adminstration of this en-wit and embarrassiner trust, all his official acts were based on the principle enunciated bv him. that " The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpu, tne i;iwrt.v of the uress. the freedom of speech, the natural rights of persons and all rights of property, snouia pe pre served."

Happy is lie who from all the fret and turmoil andiworry of life has learned the lesson of taking tlie shady side of the Btreet nay, more, of seeking streets of which both sides are shady.

Governor Pease, of TexaB, a provis ional Governor, took exception to this order; declared that Hancock had power to punish offenders, either by military commissions or civil tribunals, as he should deem best; that the people were still in reliellion, and regarded the re construction legislation of Congress aa unconstitutional, and the emancipation of their slaves and their own disfranchise ment as an insult and aa oppression. He demanded that General Hancock should set aside local tribunals and enforce pen alties by military com mission. But the soldier replied to the civilian immediately and directly.

Country folks are in general so fully occupied with affairs that they have no time to discover how lonesome they really are. So far as this js concerned we think it is a misfortune. We are too busy1. We work too hard. We take few or no holidays. We read and think too -little, and do not spend sufficient time in social culture. There is no reason why those who plow the soil or " whose talk is of bullock " should not experience the refinements which are the result of formal social life. In busi ness, at bargains, in pursuit of dollars, , t l tt. :.. no man is seen at nn oesi. xie m thorney, spiney, with his back up as a porcupine might be at his business. Let one doff his working-clothes and enter a room full of neighbors men, women, young men and maidens and he is a man of another kind. He naturally falls into the way of an intuitive kind ness, .which is really the trui-st iolite ness ; the doing to his companion what he Bh'ould do to him. He " lets hims. ll out" to please, and, after an evening spent in social converse, he retires with manvrouRh corners and asperities toned down. For a few days that innnnce remains. It would le permanent if it could be reinforced now and then, and the good results would be most agree able and useful.

AN INTELLIGENT DOS. Kower, the most intelligent dog in Connecticut, 1 as fallen a victim to pois oned meat His master, Mr. Disbrbw, of Bridgeport, used to converse wun lim freelv. and the dog, looking up with intense gn.vity, always understood what was said to him. At the word of com mand he would go down stairs and close or open the door, or climb upon a cer tain chair and place his paw upon a cer tain article named. He would some times make i flight failure at the first trial, and woidd then appear deeply abashed, but on the second or third at tempt he invariably suooeeded. In uus respect he differed from the ordinary trick-doc. as few of the acts which the dog sometimes performed at his master's orders, for the benefit of visitors, bad ever been rehearsed. As an illustration of what the animal would do, Mr. Dis brow, at a friend's suggestion, told him once to go to the news-room and get nis morning paper. The dog had never been sent on the errand before, but, for all tliat, executed it faithfully. He sub sequently fell out of the habit, but at the word of command, about two weeks ago, went to the news-room and got the paper again, although he had not done the errand for the previous four months. This was another of the incidents re lated by Mr. Disbrow of the dog's clev erness : ' " Mr. Terry usually had charge of Rover when I was absent," said he, j " but lately a lady friend down Mam street, who knew I wa. going away, pro posed that the dog should come down to her house and stay until I returned. I ageeed, and the next two nights Rover went down there and stayed, although be never did such a thing before or since." Rover seemed to feel his su periority over the rest of the dog crea tion, as he generally trotted try other dogs on the street without offering to make their acquaintance, or accepting their attentions. EARLY MARRIAGE. Of course young people ought to mar ry early, and build up a home together. The idea that a man must be wealthy be fore he weds fills the community with fortune-seeking bachelors and unhappy spinsters ; it endangers virtue, destroys true economy and design, and the beneficent intentions of the home. It promote vice, idleness, inefficiency and imbecility among female, who seem, frofff an unsympathetic outset thencefor ward, to expect to be taken np by fort une and pawuvely sustained, and without any concern on their part It is thus that a man finds it difficult to obtain a helpmeet Ix Atlanta subscription are Issing ' made to a fund of $20,000 to build female college there.
