THE STANDARD ANIFEXPRESS. SMITH, MIKLE & CO,] T()l'( HfNG INCIDENT AT THE BATTLE OF CHICAMAUQA. Editors Atlanta Svn: When the dying words of the patient and good express great moral courage in the darkest hours of human trouble, they ought to be published for the honor of the dead and the good of the living. 1 1 is under this earnest conviction that I am induced to give a brief, but, I may add, a literal account of an inci dent that came under my own obser vation, amid the battle scenes of Chic simauga in 1864. Sqine three days after that memo rable event, in which so many thous ands were -lain by the contending ar mies. I was engaged with others in looking up the scattering wounded that had been overlooked by the am bulance corps, and was alone return ing to camps in tin* evening through a thin woodland, that gradually slop ed to the waters edge, when I suddenly came upon a wounded Soldier sitting agahist a large oak, whose majestic boughs were lifted far above the smaller trees that formed a beautiful grove around it. At that instant he was gazing so intently upon some ob ject in the west that he did not per ceive me, although I approached al most near enough to touch him. i paused and admired for a moment, for the tail, symmetrical form—wide forehead, and bright piercing eyes of the soldier, at once told me that there was something ennobling in bis char acter. As I stepped forward, he seiz ed my hand with a convulsive grasp, and with quivering lips of joy, ex claimed : “ 1 am truly glad, my friend, that God lias sent you at this auspicious hour; for 1 am mortally wounded, and 1 desire to tell someone, that I fought a good tight and have fell at my post. 1 was this minute gazing upon that setting sun for the last time; but’ere the morn, I shall be hold another, and brighter Hon, the Bon of God, who will shine throuph one eternal day for me.” As neither the expression of his countenance, nor the elevated tone of his voice, indicated anything likeap proaching death, I quickly examined his wounds, with a hope of finding some evidence to the contrary of his sad conclusion; but the passing of a large minnie ball through his entire body, was fob conclusive as to the fi nal result for me to hope to do more tor the dying man than to palliate his present suffering. Ho picking up his war-worn canteen and ragged haversack, that lay empty at his side, requested him to be pa tient whileT would go to tlus camps for bread, and to the river for water, | and I added that in the meantime I would notify the ambulance corps to have him borne to some more com fortable quarters before the chill dews of night should fall around him. “ No,” said the soldier, “ I cannot give my consent to deprive our al most perish iug soldiers of one morsel of bread, white they thus sniftering, yet press on to battle and to victory ; nor can I drink of that muddy stream whose waters are yet red with the gore of my fallen comrades, when I shall soon drink of that purer river upon whose vernal banks I shall sit, not as I do here to-day, in gory gar ments, beneath this barren oak, but in bright habiliments beneath the la den boughs of the Tree of Life, of; whose fruits I shall eat, and hunger ! no more.” “ And as to removing mo to some j more com sortable quarters, I am glad to inform you that ample arrange ments have already been made ; but my escorts from here will not be a i detachment of rough soldiery, who would carry me on torturing litters to some lonely hospital of pain and suf fering; but it will l>e a bright con voy of angels timt will bear me on ‘Flowery beds of Ease,’ to ‘an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.’ “ T fully appreciate your gooct In tentions, and must thank you for your generous spmpathy, but you can do nothing more for me at present, than to lay me down upon that grassy turf, and pillow my head upon this moss covered root.” This done, he handed me a card with his name beautifully written in his own hand, and requested me to write to his good wife to follow him, and bring with tier their lovely child, to that better world, where there are no more wars, parting and suffering. Assuring him that all that he re quested would be cheerfully done, I gave him my hand for a final adieu; and as 1 expressed the deepest regret on leaving him to suffer through the cold night alone, his whole counte nance suddenly lit up again with a radiant smile, while he exclaimed with a firm voice: “ You mistake, my friend. I am | not alone, and have not been since I| fell in the arms of my Redeemer here;, and as He is always good company, f would be pleased if you could only spare the time from the surviving I wounded to come and be with us at I iny final exit to-night.” Feeling deeply impressed with the ! rather novel manner of the invitation. 1 readily assented, and fully Intended to return early ; but unexpected bus iness at the camps detained me until a very late hour. It was midnight, yes, solemn, silent midnight, when the full-orbed moon had reached her highest place in the heavens, and the ghost-like shadows of the thin skirting clouds that were moving to the west, passed in slow and solemn procession at my feet, and over the ghastly dead that yet lay un buried along my dewy pathway. I paused a moment to listen amid the solemn surroundings, but could hear nothing hut the rumbling waters of the river and the hurried shrieks of nighthawks that were assembling from adjacent forests, to hold high carnival over the carnage of battle. I could but think how many widows and orphans that perhaps* then lay dreaming of the fond return of the sleeping dead around, who would awake no more to the joys of friends and home. While thus sadly musing, 1 neared the spa' where I had left the wound ed so er, and beheld through the dim light his noble form yet lying as 1 had rest it. I must confess that I approached with a slow and cautious tread of awe, for I felt that if angels ever visited suffering humanity on earth, that they were then encircled around the hallowed spot, where my deep rever ence foi the spiritual would not allow me to rudely invade. 1 stepped forward and touched his cold hand, but it returned not the re sponsive grasp that had welcomed me before. I stooped low and spoke, but no answer came from the silent lips that were sealed in death. The cold sweat had mingled with the dews of night upon his noble brow; and the full blue eyes that had flashed so elo quently in life, were now half-bleared and up-turned in the pale, starry light, as if the restless spirit, wearied with the sufferings of earth bad been lust, wistfully looking out from these mortal windows to the heavenly world, into which it had then flown to its eternal rest. In this triumphant death, unsur passed among the most renowned of earth, has Charles Wooding, an hum- F nvate m me service orTns"coun try, left a bright example of Christian faith and. fortitude that ought not on ly to be written on paper, but indelibly engraved upon lasting stone, that the living ofother ages might read how nobly it is possible for a patriot sol dier and Christian to die amid the most embarrassing circumstances that can possibly surround human life. Tbavis. The cutlery works at West Meriden Ct., cover an area of several acres and employ a force of nearly three hun dred people. A TRUE TALE. THE FROZEN HEART; OR, JURIES AND INJURIES. CHAPTER I—UNBEQUITTED HOVE. ’Twas leap year. Olivia D’Errin ger sat on an elegant fanteuU adorned with tl*e family cnevaux-de-frise a poniard, or, on a field (/ides, with the chaste motto “pmez a moi. ’’ Our heroine was sad. I ler life was blight ed by a union to one who could not understand and sympathize with her finer nature. Hhesighed for an af finity. Thcdoof bell fang. She looked up listlessly at the entraoe of a manly form. It was that of her family phy sician, I)r. Pillsbury. A strange magnetic chord thrilled at his ap proach. Here was a being whom she could love. Or hate! “ Madame, I called to inquire after my patient, my friend, D’Erringer.” Olivia drew herself up to her full height, and flashed an elegant glance. “ Kir, cans't minister to a mind dis eased ?” “ I beg your pardon, but ” Bhe interrupted him with a mean ing gesture; then, melting in all womanly tenderness, she fell upon his neck and said : “Doctor Pillsbury, dear Doctor Pillsbury, I know what you would say. ’Tis enough. You love me. I am thine.” “ Rut, madame, 1 assure you— think for a moment—my friend, D’Erringer ” She touched a bell. An obsequi ous servant appeared. Olivia open ed her secretaire, took out a vial and handed it to the servant with a sig nificant gesture in the direction of the invalid’s chamber. CHAPTER II —SCORNED! Olivia awaited in silence the me ! nial’s return. He came and said | with a bow: “ Madame, ’tis done.” “ Enough. Inform the undertaker” Tumbling to her guest, with a winning smile, she said: “ Dear Doctor Pillsbury, the upas tree of our happiness is fallen. Be mine.” Doctor Pillsbury was confounded for a moment; then replied: “ There is my wife.” Olivia frowned darkly, i “ Man, are there no divorce j courts ?” she hissed rather than spoke. “ But my children !” he feebly re- I monstrateb. Olivia smiled scornfully. “And you cull yourself a doctor,” she said contemptuously. “ But,” urged theuufeeling wretch, here is some misconception. I do not-—” “Hat then you love another?” “ I must confess that ” “Enough!” she shrieked, “Vile dissembler, you would crush ajoving bosom! You would trifle with a gentle heart!” She drew a condens ed navy of elegant workmanship. “ 1 go to an early grave, but not un avenged! Die, villain!” He died. CHAPTER III—VILLAINY BAFFLED. A coroner’s jury sat on the two sets of remains. They brought in a verdict of murder against Olivia. She smiled calmly and with quiet womanly tact invited the jury to lunch. She waited on them with outward composure, but with an aching heart. The obsequious servant waited on them also. Then the martyr went to her dun geon. The jury died that day of a pecu liar disease. Unfeeling calumny pointed the finger of suspicion at our heroine. CHAP. IV —INNOCENCE TRIUMPHS. A miscreant Who had read the newspapers was expelled from the jury box. A double-dyed wretch, who could not tell black from white, was also put out. Three dark and bloody desperadoes who pleaded guilty of common seri.se, were also excluded. Twelve sympathetic idiots, duly proved to know nothing of the case, and to be incapable of forming an opinion about anything were select ed. A bully for the defence. A “ chivalrous gentleman” for the prosecution. A martyr in the dock. An owl on the bench. Two rival doctors testifying ns to the cause of demise. A lunacy commissioner, to prove that crime was insanity, as he always treated insanity as a crime. An audience to correspond. Some money. Result—a verdict of justified ec centricity. The crowd cheered. Olivia fainted. She had fourteen offers of marri age, sixty engagements to lecture be fore leaving the dock. Her counsel called next day with his bill. •X- ***** * The bar passed resolutions of re spect to his memory. CHAPTER V—THE FROZEN HEART. But Olivia is unhappy. She feels a void in lie.t life—an unfulfilled mis sion. The widow of the false Doctor Pillsbury is gone; she fieri with her offspring to a distant land. Olivia would revenge her wrong, but cannot. Iler heart is frozen. MORAL. Never put off a murder. THE GREAT MYSTERY. The body is to die. No one who E asses that charmed boundary comes ack to tell. The imagination visits the land of shadows—sent out from some window of the soul over life’s restlees waters—but wings its way back without a Jive leaf in its beak as a token of merging life beyond the closely blending horizon. The great sun comes, goes in the heavens, yet breathes no secret of tlie etherial wil kerness. The crescent moon cleaves her nightly passage across the upper deep, but tosses overboard no signals. The sentinal stars challenge each other as they walk their nightly round, but we catch no syllable of their countersign which gives pass age to the heavenly music. Between this and the other life there is a great gulf fixed, across which neither" foot nor eye can travel. The gentle friend whose eyes were closed in their last long sleep, long years ago, died with rapture in her wonder-stricken eyes, a smile of ineffable joy upon her lips, and hands folded over a triumphant heart; but her lips were past speech, and intimated nothing of the vision that euthralled her. SUNSHINEAND SLEEP. Sleepless people—and there many in America—should court the sun. The very worst soporific is lauda num, and the very best, sunshine. Thefore, it is very plain that poor sleepers should pass as many hours as possible in sunshines, and as few as possible in tlie shade. Many woineu tlie maity in, uud yet they tlo not know it. 1 hey shut the sunshine out of their houses and out of their hearts, they wear veils, they carry parasols, they do all possible ito keep off the subtlest aud yet most potent influence which is intended to give them strength and beauty and cheer fulness. Is it not time to change all this and so get color and roses in your Eale cheeks, strength in our weak acks, and courage in our timid souls ? The women of America are pale and delicate; they may be bloomy and strong, and tlie sunlight will be a potent aid in this transfor mation. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 187*. THE FAT CONTRIBUTOR—HE WILL BE A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. The hour has arrived. I can wait no longer. The highest interests of the nation demand that I present myself as a candidate for President of the United States. I have waiter! for someone else to bring me out, but in the multitude of candidates no one seems to have thought of me. I don’t think much of myself; but a man don’t want to think much of himself to be- a candidate for Presi dent now-a-days. If he had any self regard at outset he would think very little of himself by the time he got through with himself. 1 am one of the peogle —I might say one of the boys. I came m> from obscurity, and I have brought up a good deal of obscurity with me. I never had any politics—nor much i else. lam “ Liberal” to a fault, and ready to receive votes from any quar ter, although I am not ready to give quarters for any vote. As for a platform, suit yourselves, geqtlemen. The lecture platform would probably suit me as well as any other. Having stood upon near ly every platform in the West, it would be hard for you to get up one 1 could not stand on. In the absence of a platform, give me four acres, and I’ll stand on that. I am the special friend of the la boring man. No one likes to see a man work better than I do. In fact, I had rather see a man work than work myself. lam not only averse to working more than eight hours, but I am opposed to working a sin gle hour! I shan’t even work for my elevation, leaving that for the men who want the offices. 1 am in favor of paying the nation al debt. It is in fact the only debt I am in favor of paying; and rather than not see it paid during my ad ministration, I will pay it out of my 1 pocket. In the matter of civil service re form, I intend to do the civil thing by the nation if the nation does the civil thing by me. Being civil is so rare a condition now-a-days in the varied walks of life (to say nothing about the runs) that reform is urgent ly culled for. Retrenchment is my motto. If you can’t put a retrenchment plank in the platform put in a board. I ; am ready to work without any sala ry, hut I shall insist upon my board. I am rather inclined to free trade, preferring to feel free to trade where j ever I please; but if a tariff plank is necessary to my election put it in. I i shall not get on a tariff if I ain’t I elected. Pledge me as strong as you please ;to the temperance men. The tem perance pledge won’t hurt me one ! bit. No relative shall hold office, no matter whose relation he may be. I I shall appoint none but old bachelors, childless widows and orphans. Any j man who has a relation in the world need not apply for an office under my administration. I have a few relatives of my own holding office i now, but they shall be promptly i kicked out as soon as I am elected. One brother-imlaw has a little coal office on the river. He must give it up. A third cousin on my neighbor’s side drinks too much occasionally, and I shall give him notice to quit. Another relative lias a hankering af ter George Ellis’ “ Office.” It won’t do him any good. You see, lam | determined to reduce the “ relative” ! expenses of the government. I engage not to accept any gift im* I less it be the highest office in the j gift of the people. If lam ever call | ed “ our present chief magistrate,” it won’t be chief magistrate of presents. Not being a man of commanding presence anyhow, there would be probably few presents that I could command. What few natural gifts I may have, however, I shall endeavor to retain. They are not worth mak ing any fuss about. 1 am not only in favor of woman’s rights, but of woman’s rights and lefts. lam in favor of women vot ing, provided they vote for me. I | see no reason wily a woman should ! not hold office, except, perhaps, the difficulty in getting hold of it. Nor should there be any bar to a woman’s accumulating property and support ing a family if she wants to. I may be asked how I would treat the Indians. I wouldn’t “treat” them at all. They have been treated too much and too often. My private opinion, however, is, that it will be a treat when there isn’t an Indian left. I stand by the old constitution that has been tried. Few men have tried their constitutions more than I have. 1 accept the amendments, every one of them. When it comes to amends, I am ready to shout “ amen” as loud as anybody. 1 understand there is an ambitious man named George Francis Train who aspires to be President on his promise to free Ireland. I engage not only to free Ireland, but to make Irish whisky free in the bargain. I shall, at least, be able to tie George Francis Train in the popular vote, unless one or the other of us is kept away from the polls. Hang it, 1 be lieve I could tie the Davenport brothers! I shall inaugurate a wholesale ! emancipation business as soon as I |am inaugurated. No goods retailed 1 at the White House when I am Pres ident. I engage to emancipate wo- I man from the thraldom of fashion, to give the “ boys” their rights, and I abolish the custom wnich excludes j children in arms from the elevating and purifying influences of the thea ' tre, 1 have pledged myself to free ; Ireland and to free postage; to free housekeepers from the tyrany of i servant girls, free prws, free passes, and free-boaters, to Lee soil, to free ! tickets to shows, free drinks, free press, and “J. N.” Free. I trust I am not making myself too free. —Fat Contributor. THE WAY SHE CURED HIM. “ What brings you here, Mary ?” said Tom Truesdell to bis wife as she entered tlie liquor shop. “ It is very lonesome at home, and your business seldom allows you to be there,” replied the meek but res olute wife. “To me there is no com pany like yours, and as you cannot come home to me, I come here to you. I have a right to share your pleasures as well as sorrows.” “ But come to such a place as this ?” expostulated Toni. “ No place can be improper where my husband is,” said poor Mary. “ Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” “ Surely you tire not going to drink that stuff?” cried Tom, as she was taking up a glass of liquor. “ Why not ? You say you drink to forget sorrow; and surely I have sor row enougli to forget.” “ Woman ! woman ! you are not going to give that stuff to the chil dren?” cried Tom, as she was. pass ing the glass of liquor to them. “ Why not? can children have a better example set them than their father’s?” Is not what is good for liim, gwJ for them also? It will put them to sleep, and they will for get that they are cold and hungry. Drink, my children—this is fire, and bed and clothing. Drink; see how much good it does your father.” With some reluctance, Mary suffer ed her husband to lead her home, That night he prayed long and ear nestly that God would help him to break an evil habit, and keep a new ly-formed but firm resoultion. His reformation was thorough. Mrs. Truesdell is now one of the hap piest of women, and remembers with melancholy pleasure her first and last 1 visit to the dram-shop. POETRY. ONE BY ONE. The following beautiful lines ad monish us, as what does not, to pre pare for that hour, when we shall stand upon the margin of five river, and alone enter into its icy tide. The author is unknown : They are gathering homqward from every land, One by one. As their weary feet touch the shining strand, One by one. Their brows are encircled in a golden crown ; Their travel-stained garments are all laid down, And clothed in white raiment they rest on the mead, Where the Lamb ever loveth his children to lead, One by one. Before they rest t hey pass through the strife, One by one. Through the waters of deatli they en ter life, One by one. To some are the floods of the river still, As they ford on their way to the heavenly hill; To others the waves run fiercely wild, But all reach the home of the undefil ed, One by one. We, too, shall come to that river’s side, One by one. We are uearer its waters each even tide, One by one. We can hear the noise and dash of the stream, Now and again, through our life’s deep dream; Sometimes the floods all its banks overflow, Sometimes in ripples thesmall waves go, One .by one. Jesus, Redeemer, wo look to thee, One by one. We lift up our voices tremblingly, One by one. The waves of the river are dark and cold, yfe know not the spot where our feet may hold, Thou who didst pass through iu deep midnight, Strengthen us, send us thy staff and thy light, One by one. Plant thou thy feet beside us as we tread, One by one. On Thee let us lean each drooping head, One by one. Let but thy strong arm around us be twined, We shall cast all our fears to the wind. Saviour, Redeemer, be thou in full view, Smilingly, gladsomely we shall pass through, . r One by one. CHARITY. In tlie life of every individual there are certain controlling influences which call out what there is in him and shape Lis character. It depends upon the quality of a man’s metal whether he gets melted into eagles or dimes. One’s “ second birth” de | pends much upon his first. The con- I trolling tendencies of his religious na ture may have come down to him through generations of ancestors. A I man may inherit his grandfather’s i opinions uu well uu liis property ■ The mass of Christians are conform | ed to the creeds under which they i were born. All are more or less moulded by the pressure of surround -1 ing opinion, and every one is, in a i degree, bound by the prevailing sen timents he has to make. If we could trace back and understand the deter l mining forces which have been chis j eling away at a man’s nature since 1 his birth, we should rot so much } wonder at his strange notions and pe | culiar views. In this, as in every- I thing else, the scope wherein a man ; may exercise a choice, is limited. ! There are many formative influences beyond our control, and the chief and crowning deduction to be drawn from a recognition of these truths is that grandest and chiefest of the Christian virtues, charity—charity for the opinions of others however they may differ from our own. HOW TO BREAK DOWN MOR MON ISM. A Salt Lake letter says: “When j the congregation was dismissed, the : rustle of silks and flashing of dia , monds attracted my attention and I I saw many poor Mormon women gaz ing with longing eyes on the rich ; dresses of their Gentile sisters. The I contrast between saints and sinners ! was still further heightened by the conduct of the men. The Gentile men tucked the arms of their pretty wives under their own, and walked away with a proud air, while the Mormou women trudged off alone. How could a Mormon husband tuch the arms of half a dozen wives into ! his? And, if he escorted one, or even two wives, how would the rest feel? If I wanted to break down Mormonism, I would put a dozen French Millinery stores in Salt Lake City, give General Morrow, the mili tary commander, $15,000 to $20,000 to entertain with during the Winter, and station a strong corps of good-! looking young army officers at Camp 1 j Douglas.” A LIVE MAN. There is one man in this “ burgh” whose business capacity is really as tonishing. He usually attends, be fore breakfast, to his store and other matters, besides transacting business with about 43 men. After breakfast he transacts business with a few more j men, shakes hands with about 150, at-! tends to an extensive mail matter,! and is ready at 8 a. m. for school. He teaches all day long. In the mean j time he edits a paper, prints a music book, looks after his rather large real \ estate, sells a few fiddles aud guitars, i some clothing, guano, quinine, sew- ; ing machines, carriages, wagons, eali-1 co, boots and shoes, instruction books I for all branches in music, family gro-1 ceries, tobacco, (no pipes, as he don’t! smoke himself,) farming implements,! chill medicines, liver medicines, deals in rags and wool, patent tire extin-1 guishers, Mrs Winslow’s soothing syr up, also, swaps horses occasionally, etc., etc. It generally takes 16 men and one boy to keep up his stock. He has more irons in the fire than any ; man in Christendom, China not excep ted, and burns fewer of them than any other man we know of. Mr. E. T. ! Found, the President of the Normal is this man !—BarnesviUe Gazette. How It Pays.—A friend tells us Mr. jbiamond has, near yie city, six teen acres in watermelons, and thinks I the.crop will realize some $2,000. Mr. D. sold S7O dollars worth on Saturday. Our friend tells usAlr. D. prieipally cultivates melons and sweet potatoes, and last year made on a field $3,000, where the year liefore, in the eultiva i tion of cotton, “ ours” lost 8150. Mr. D. brought to the city Saturday five melons whose united weight was 250 pounds. He is one of the men who declares from actual experience that fertilizers will not pay on cotton.—Cb lumbus Sun. He that does good to another man, does also good to himself; not only in the consequence, but in the very act of doing it; for the conscience of ■ well-doing is a very ample reward. RAILROAD ADVENTURES IN OHIO. [* John’’ in New York Sua.J I was riding in the cars some days ago, and I sat alongside a fellow who was weatherbeaten ns if he had been sitting six weeks astraddle of a water melon trying to put out the sun by spitting at it. We conversed. I said to him, “ What’s your name?” Said he, “ Adolphus.” Says I, “ Your mother’s name?” Says he, “ Mary.” 1 looked amazed, and says I, “ Ma ry ! Mary! can it be possible that you are the lamb?” Says he, “The what?” Says I, “The lamb that Mary had.” He revealed the fact that he was not . the lamb, and he further observed, “ It is all-fired hot.” ►Says I, “ Did you ever vLsit a tropi cal clime?” Says he, “A what?” Says I, “A hot clime.” Says he, “ Jiinminy crix, stranger, j ! I’ve plowed up a side hity Fourth of July when the sun set my straw hat on fire, and if that ain’t ft hot climb why I hain’t been to one as yet.” Before I had time to reply, the 1 conductor came along and shouted i “ tickets.” Greeny—l’ve got none. Conductor—Money then. Greeny—l hain’t any. Conductor —Got a pass? Greeny—No, I hain’t got a pass. Conductor —Thunder and spikes, i you don’t expect to travel on the cars for nothing, do you? Greeny—You advertise to hike a fellow for nothing anyhow. Conductor —How so ? Greeny—Why, down there into your orifice in Cincinnati, you’ve got a great big sign stuck up in store wri ting, it says, “ Through to New York without change,” The conductor dropped his anchor and put that fellow ashore right by a big white post with some black letters on it which read C 80 miles. THE WONDER WORLD. Geolocical researches are constantly j bringing to light fossil remains of monstrous animals that once roamed | over the pleasant place now in the oc- 1 cupaney of civilized meu. It is ama- j zing that bones should have resisted i the physical revolution that the earth j has undergone since they were in ex istence. Being sealed up beyond the i reach of atmospheric influences has 1 saved them. Organic remnants of colossal reptiles are most striking. Next to them the stero-dactyles, or flying dragoons. Recently,* at the West, the oSseous frame-work of a . species of bat has been found, the spread of whose membraneous wings was twenty feet—far exceeding those of the condor, the largest bird known to naturalists of this period. Such discoveries testify unmistakably to extraordinary changes of our world since they lived. A Whale’s skeleton in the rocks on the Green Mountains of Vermont —an elephant’s bones also, and a tusk excavated r hi the Sierra Nevada peak, by the side of which a common elephant’s tooth is a mere needle, speak in ineffable language of the habitable antiquity of this globe. Living trees in California declare by concentric Circles that the world has been quiescent since they sprang from a seed about four thousand years ago. Yet it is scientifically demonstrated that fossil giants, whose bones are the marvels of the age, were imprisoned cycles upon cycles before the Marap osa trees which prod need cones from which present groves sprang, had be gun to grow. WHERE THE SUN DOES NOT SET. Tha fhUawiutr mumble sketch is from the description of the scene wit nessed by Mr. Campbell and his party, in the north of Norway, from a cliff above the sea : “ The ocean stretched away in silent vastness at our feet, the sound of the waves scarcely reaching our airy lookout; away in the north the huge old sun swung low along the horizon like the slow beat of a pendu lum in the tall clock ofour grandfath er’s parlor corner. We all stood si 1 ent, looking at our watches. When both hands came together at twelve, mid night, the full orb hung triumphant ly above the waves, a bridge of gold running north, spanning the seas be tween us. There he shone in silent majesty, which knew no setting. We involuntarily took off our hats; no word was spoken. Combine if you can, the most brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw, and the beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which lit up the ocean, heavens and mountains. In half an hour the sun swung up perceptibly ou his beat, the colors changed to those of morning, a fresh breeze rippled over the waters, one song after another piped up in the grove behind us—we had slipped into another day.” The grandest marriage which has occurred in London for many years was that of Miss Fox, the adopted daughter of Lady Holland, who was joined to the Prince Aloys Liechten sten recently. It was almost as brill iant as a royal wedding, and quite threw the Marquis of Bute’s marriage into the shade. It has not failed to be observed that Archbishop Manning officiated on both these occasions, and it is hinted that the prospect of such a noble wedding will be apt to pro duce a rare crop of fair perverts, un less the Archbishop of Canterbury be stirs himself to make Protestant mar riages more gay and gorgeous. Abso lutely the whole fashionable world of London was present on the day of Miss Fox’s marriage, either in the ca thedral or at the breakfast, or at the garden party afterward. In 1870 there were 1-11,629 schools in the United States and Territories, and the total number of pupils was 7,200,- 938. What a shooting of ideas, had ( they all been discharged at once ? The j income of ilie schools for that yfear ! was $95,402,726. We are more inter ested to ascertain who was the out-1 come. Edwin Booth has cleared one hun- j dredand twenty-five thousand dollars during the season just closed at his theatre, which will almost cancel the debt incurred in its erection. Freight Bills.—W. A.
