]IV JOHN 11. THOMPSON.
I Two armies covered bill and plain
I Where Rappahannock s waters
I linn deeply crimsoned with the stain
of battle’s recent slaughters.
| The summer clouds lay pitched like tents,
I In meads of heavenly azure ;
, „4 each dread gun of the elements
Slept iu it* hid embrasure.
Till, breeze so softly blew it made
So forests leaves to quiver,
, n d the smoke of the random cannonade
1t,,11,‘d slowly from the river.
tad now where circling hill* looked down
With cannon grimly planted,
I if, r ii-.t10.-is camp ami silent town
The golden sunset slanted.
When oil the fervid air that came
\ straiu, now rich, now tender,
Tlic music seemed itself a flame
With day’s departing splendor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble.
Had just struck up with flute aad horn
And lively clash of cymbal.
Down flocked the soldiers to the bank
Till margined by its pebbles,
, One wooded shore was blue with “Yanks,”
Anil one was gray with “ Rebels.”
■ Then all was still; and then the band
I With movements light and tricksy,
■ .'fade stream and forest, hill and strand,
H Reverberate with “Dixie.”
■ Hie conscious stream, with burnished glow,
f Went proudly o’er its pebbles,
I But thrilled throughout its deepest flow
I With yelling of the Rebels,
Again a pause, and then again
r fhe trumpet pealed sonorous,
And Yankee Doodle was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles—
Loud shrieked the crowding Boys in Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugle sang
Above the stormy riot,
No shout upon the evening rang—
There reigned a holy quiet.
The sad, lone stream its noiseless tread
Spread o’er the glistening pi bbles ;
All silent now the Yankees stood,
All silent stood the Rebels.
For esch respousivc soul liud beard
That plaintive note’s appealing,
So deeply “ Home. Sweet Home,” had stirred
The hideous founts of feeling.
Of blue or gray, the soldier sees,
As by the wand of fairy,
The cottage’ueatli the live-oak trees,
The cottage by the prairie.
! Or cold or warm liis native skies
Bend in their beauty o’er him:
Sending the tear-mist in his eyes—
The dear ones stand before him.
As fades the iris after rain
In April’s teai ful weather,
The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
Bat memory, waked by music’s art
Expressed in simplest numbers,
Subdued the sternest Yankee's heart.
Made light the Rebel’a slumbers.
And fair the form of Music shines,
That bright celestial creature,
Who still quid war's embattled lines
Have this one touch of nature.
THE BUEFALO.
nOW THEY CHASE HIM OVER THE PLAINS
IN KANSAS.
Special Correspondence New York World.]
The ordinary weight of a full-grown
hull buffalo is about 1,500 or 1,600 pounds.
They do not however, yield the same pro
portion of available meat as the tame bo
vine, their skins being heavier, bones lar
ger, and forequarters more massive and
weighty. I have seen hulls, old fellows
with horns full of wrinkles, that would
Incline the scale at nearly 2,500 pounds,
but they were uuusually large, and could
readily he distinguished in a large herd
The buffalo are now rapidly moving
south for the warmer airs of Texas and
Arkansas. In consequence the Wichita
market is doing but little shipping com
pared with what was done six weeks
ngo. About that time I remember
noticing a piece of ground containing
over six acres covered witli layers
of dry hides awaitiDg shipment. These
were all brought in by tlie townspeople
and a few neighboring homesteaders.
% the first of May the hunting sensou
will open again. As ilie weather
in this part of tlie State is most delightful
at that season of the year, a great rush of
pleasure parties is expected. Railroads
will accordingly get up excursions to the
buffalo grounds from ail parts of the East
at a real trifling expense to tlie excursion
iat. Hunting, of course, can he made as
expensive as one may please. It depends
entirely on the definition the hunter may
put on the words “necessities” and “ lux
urics.” A party of ten persons with mod
erate means, making Wichita a starting
point, can obtain a full outfit, arms, amuni
flon, provisions, bedding, wagons, saddle
horses and all at an expense to tlie party
of not over $3O per day, or say $l2O for a
five days’ trip. And each one of the party
will have time enough to get as tired aud
tugged as he may please. He can experi
ence the stirring excitement of a chase on
horseback, and, again, crawling on hands
*od knees almost into the midst of an un-
suspecting herd. The arms most in use
are needle-guns and Spencer rifles. The
‘ornier are to be preferred for "still” hunt
‘ng, on account of their long range and
heavy ball, and the latter for hunting on
‘° | r *** ) ack, because of their holding several
catridges at once and being easily handled.
it was my good fortune the other day
w witness the passage of a herd of buffa

object for mif 10 the 8,i S lllet moving
he nothing but ® at fim ff med to
sacral ant
time—it assumed more distinct propor
tions, and finally took the shape of an im
mense drove of buffalo, packed together
in so dense a mass that their gait was no
faster than that of a man walking leisure
ly along.
Approaching to williiu 1111 l yards of the
Hank of Lite column, tliu engine whistled
down brakes,, and we stopped. A few old
hulls, the tluiikers of the herd, glared sav
agely at us as we moved slowly by them.
Oue huge fellow, with a monstrous head,
nearly hidden under masses of lliick, saud
mutted liair, we thought would charge ou
us. Ilis tail curled like that of a pig. lie
savagely pawed the ground, and with head
lowered, finally moved toward the loco
motive. The engineer, always ready for a
little Ain, purposely closed the stcaui escape
pipes so that no sound could he heard. Sud
denly. when the shaggy monster drew
himself up to select the exact point
for the attack, the valves wero opened
to their fullest extent, the whistle
sent forth a most unearthly screech, the
hell violently rung, and a cloud ofsuioke
went up through the smokestack. The
effect was indescribable. Down went the
hutTalo on his haunches, literally scared off
his feet, and into sucli a maze of bewilder
ment did lie seem to have been thrown,
that before lie could recover himself one
of the track-layers had had time to ap
proach sufficiently near and give him a
fatal shot. A great many buffaloes were
killed during the hour it took the herd to
pass. It was only necessary to fire a gun
iu the direction of the mass to secure a
victim, for if not killed outright the wound
ed victim was quickly trampled under fool
by his myriad companions How many
buffalo passed over the line of rail iu this
herd it was impossible to estimate. The
herd itself was at least ten miles long and
two wide, and must have numbered mil
lions.
WHAT IS COLOR ?
In the first place, color is tlie most
effective elemeut iu the decoration of tlie
earth we live on, which, without its aid,
would be as dismal as a sepulchre. If
there were hut one color—if all objects
were green, or orange, or violet, or iudigo,
the human eye, now never weary of look
ing at the varied hues which even the
poorest landscape presents, would recoil
from a monotony that afforded no exercise
to its cunning powers, and become the
least valuable organ of the body. There
are certain philosophers who teach that
things exist only in being perceived ; that
a thing which is not perceived Is nothing,
and that “if there were no eyes to see, and
no ears to hear, the whole universe would
he darkness and sileuce.” Whether this
be true or not, it is certain that
the eye, of which a German phi
losopher deipaiingly said: “If an op
tician sent him an instrument so full of
delects, he would send it hack to him with
the severest censure, ” is the instrument,
and color the source of infinite enjoyment.
The Egyptians used colors to illustrate
their history, and they used them with an
effect and skill which fill us with admira
tion to this day. The Tyrian purple, so
bright and fresh now, in the Egyptian
temples and tho uncovered houses of Pom
peii, is something with all our boasted skill
we cannot produce. The French maintain
that there is a certain delicate shade of blue
which Europeans cannot see, and Wendell
Phillips tells us that when a Roman lady
wishes to appear in half a dozen colors at
a masquerade, aud have them all in har
mony, she goes to the Jews, because the
oriental eye is better than even those of
Italy and France. It is said that iu Cash
mere, where the women make shawls of
sucli fabulous price, they will show three
hundred colors which the most expert
French dyer not only cannot make, but
cannot even distinguish. So grand and
delicate au art, then, is the production
and arrangement of colors —a lost art of
antiquity which we would give untold
wealth to regain.
But what is color 7 The general im
pression is that it is an inherent insepara
ble quality of objects, like form and weight;
that whiteness is a property of snow, red
ness is a property of berries, aud green
ness is a property of gruss and leaves. But
Prof. Tyndall tells us some strange things
on this subject. According to him, tlie
addition of one sound to another, in such
a way as to make the crest of one undula,
tion correspond to the siuus of the other
produces a dead silence, and the
similar interference of one ray of
light with another produces darkness.
Sound is au undulation of the air, and
light is an undulation of that medium in
finitely more tenuous than uir called ether.
As pitch in sound is determined by the
rapidity of the vibration, so in light, color,
which is tlie analogue of pitch, is de
termined by tlie rapidity of tlie vibra
tions of the ellier The shorter the waves
of undulation, the more refrangible the
light. The -shortest waves of the
visible spectrum are those of tlie ex
treme violet; tlie longest are lliose of
tlie extreme red ; and tlie other colors are
of inlet mediate wave-l<ngtb, accordingly
as they are neaier to the violet or red.
The waves of light have been measured,
and it is found that the length of the ex
trfemered is such that it would require 30,-
918 o[ them, placed end to end, to cover
an inch, while 64,031 of the extreme vio
let waves wonid be needed to span the
same short distance. The velocity of
light is 190,000 miles a second. Reduc
ing this to incites and multiplying the
number by 75,918, will give us the num
ber of waves that enter the eye every
second. All these waves strike the retina,
and the product of the four hundred
and (ifty one millions of millions of shocks
is the impression of red. By a similar
calculation Professor Tyndall informs us
it is found that it requires seven hundred
and eighty-nine millions of millions of
wave-shocks on the retina to produce the
impression of violet. Color then is a
mere matter of wave lengths of undulating
ether; whether an object is violet, or
orange, or green, or red, or Any hue of
these, depends on the number of reflected
waves of ether thrown off from it in a
second, and tlie sensation which the shocks
of those waves produce on the eye.— St.
Louie Republican.

MACON, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1873.
Lost at Ska. —Since the middle of
October last eleveu English steamships
have been lost at sea, witli all on hoard.
Three of these were from New York, three
from Moutrcal, each carrying grain and
some passengers. Five were from ports
of the Black sea, also carrying grain to
British ports. It is known that one of the
steamers, the Dalmatian, broke in two in
a gale of wiud and sunk, carrying down
instantly every soul. One capsized
in the Mediterarian another in mid At
lantio.
These steamers were all, it is said, of
recent construction, built of Inferior iron,
of a length not less than ten times
thsir width, and a depth of hold equul
to tlieir width —a class of vessels unlit for
ocean purposes, yet forced on from the
desire of gain, in a false estimate Unit
gain in freight, with greater speed, can be
obtained from this form more readily tlmu
from one of greater beam and less draught.
We Had in the memoranda of explanation
accompanying tlie proposals of the inter- |
national Steamship Company to erect an j
iron ship building yard, which were writ- j
ten eighteen months ago, that steamships
of great length" should be built in docks
and floated out ; that if launched in the
ordinary w'ay they were nearly certain to
sustain damage near the midship section,
which would remit r them liable to break
in two heavy weather whenever deeply
laden. The truth of this statement lias
been sadly veritied in the losses of the
Scaiiderin, J nines Mary church ; Cliurucu,
Sluiuon ; Devon, Judkins, und Crcswell,
neither of which have ever been heard
from, und Hie Dalmatian, known to have
broken in two. and no doubt all the others
similarly laden, shared the same fate. The
Reindeer and Annie Broughton capsized.
The British Flag, known to have sunk,
is believed to have partly broken.
Tlie remedy for this great evil, the pre
ventiou of these vast losses of life and
properly, is measurably in our bauds. We
have ores which will make the the strong
est iron in tlie world. In the plans pre
sented by the International Company for
building yards and docks we have tlie
means of economy and safety iu producing
ships which caunot be liable to such disai- :
ters. If Congress passes the bill so wisely
prepared by the Naval Committee, and on
which Senator Cragin is soon to deliver
probably the ablest speech on commerce
which lias been heard in our legislative
halls, we shall soon have our own iron
steamers upon the ocean, built of such su
perior material as will give guarantee of
safety to Hie and property, and place our
Hag again in every commercial port.
