There were many ascents of Mont; Blano organised for Saturday, August 9th, (wrote a Chamounix correspondent), and at eight o'clock in the morning a Chamoniard who makes a business of enabling visitors to watch the climbers through a powerful telescope for a few centimes was scanning the mountain previous to adjusting his insirument when he was amazed to see two men running at full speed down the steep snow slope'of the mountain. It was not long before the leader fell headlong into a croviisse, and within a few minutes the second disappeared into another crevasse; The alarm was given, and the chief guide promptly organised a number of relief expeditions, the first of which left Chamou nix within half an hour. But an hour before this it was known by three parties ascending Mont Blanc that the amateurs of the hapless caravan had perished. These parties slept at the Grande Mulcts on Wed nesday, and resumed the climb at four on Saturday. By seven they had reached the summit of the Grand Plateau. There they met M. Blanc, the Boneval guide, and Culet, the porter, who accompanied the Frenchmen. M. Blanc was badly frost bitten about the ears and hands. He tola them all that had happened. The porter, whose head was wrapped in a handkerchief, was too ill to speak. His foet and hands were frost-bitten. No one seemed to think that he needed more assistance than cognac or coffee, after bestowing whioh they continued their way to the summit of Mont Blanc. One'of the parties found the bodies of the young Frenchmen, both_ of them in their twenties. They were lying in the Dome dv Gouter, within 150 metres of the Vallot Observatory. The bodies were carried down to near the Coin dv Dome, an hour and a half below the Grand Plateau hut The party were unable to reach the Grande Mulcts owing to a huge intervening crevasse. The remains were eventually re covered by Chamounix guides. Meantime other guides had reached the crevasses down which M. Blanc and the porter had been precipitated, and volunteers were lowered with ropes. The crevasse where the porter met his fate is. broad at the top, but narrow towards the bottom; where the sides join. The porter fell in head first, tvnd needless to say death niusfc have been instantaneous. Blano escaped miraculously. Though he had a sheer drop 1 of 34 metres, he was almost uninjured save on the head, which was cut by falling chips of ice. He was imprisoned for six hours in ice before he was rescued.

Blanc returned to Chamounix on August 10th. He is a short, robust young fellow, about twenty-six. In nn interview with Reuters correspondent, he said that their party left the Grande Mulcts at noon on August 8. The weather was fine, with a few clouds. He had previously made many ascents withM. H. Mauduitand Staehling. Both were excellent climbers, but were self willed and disinclined to follow professional advice. He himself had previously ascended_ Mont Blanc eight or ten times. No sooner had the party reached the Petit Plateau than a blinding snowstorm began. He counselled lvlm-i. but Mauduit and Stosh liug perrfistel that tha Vallot Observatory was conveniently close, and that they could take sholier there. The storm increased with stih violence that by four o'clock they were uuwMo to stand on their feet. The observatory was invisible owing to the snow, although ns a matter of fact it was comparatively close at hand. The only course now was to burrow in the snow. This was done, and the four huddled to gether for ten hours, sharing their last drop Ox cognac, until two o'clock, when M, Stseljling died. Within ten minutes M. Maudin, who had evidently been b?ccming weaker and weaker, also breathed his hist. He had just strength enough to whisper the word " adieu." It was four o'clock before the storm abated. M. Blanc and the porter then attempted to to find their way down. After he had de scribed thtir meeting with the other parties M.Blanc -v\as asked how it was possible seeing he knew the mountain thoroughly, that he could have rushed blindly into a crevasse which could have peen easily skirt ed by the merest neophyte. He replied, I " My comrade and myself were so exhaust ed by the hardship of the night and over come by our tenible experiences that we were re:-il!y madmen for the time being. I had not the slightest idea where I was gt.iuir. All I knew.was that I wanted to fly from what ha<l liiippened, and I had to t;ike what si-nned the shortest way.

News has been recaiv'-d From Stanton, in the Adhere Pass, dated ths Bth August, of two further Alpine futilities. A visitor named Kueck, from Darnbirn, fell from the western peak, adjoining Mount Leoh, in the Tannberg, as he was looking for edel weiss. While similarly engaged in the Vennathal a farm hand named Waldner feU over a precipice.

Great Marksmanship.

The honour a'corded to the man who hits, the bull's eye more "often than his comrades does not come to the man with an unsteady hand and a weak, eye. Let us compare. The merit of words lays in hitthiK the mark, and this sort of shooting only conies from the man with a straight tongue. Thus it is that the testimony of Mr°Johu McjColl, 12 Caledonia street, Paddington, Sydney, may come as a bles sing to all who have-unsteady hands and weak eyes, and in the competition of the world all men may be equal. There is no mistaking She truth here; "It is with great pleasure that T send you this letter to inform you of the great benefits I have derived from ths use of Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills.

He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thank 3to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits.
