The shades of night were falling fast, As through an eastern city passed, A bloominjr maid in bloomers dressed, With this device npon her crest, Sorosis 1 Her brows were kind; beneath her Teil Her eyej blazed like a comet's tail' And like a martial bugle rung The tones of that outlandish tongue, Sorosis ! In happy homes she saw the lipht, Where hope and love made all things bright Without the night was dark and bleat, And from her lips escaped the shriek Sorosis ! "Try not the polls ! 0 maid beware The scheming politician's snare." 'Twas all in vain the old man cried, For still that ringing voice replied, Sorosis ! (,0 stay,'' the young man said "and rest Thy waterfall upon my vest!" A tear stole down her painted cheek, But still she answered frith a squeak, . Sorosis ! "Beware the baleful company Of Francis Tfrain and Susan B!"" This was old Greely's warning knell. A voice replied, you go to well Sorosis ! At break of day, as through the street, The watchman walks his lonaly beat, With heavy eyes and sleepy yawn, A voice cried through the purple dawn,. Sorosis ! Next erening. on a rostrum high, The miiden stood with blazing eye, While from her lip3lsnrone but pale, A Toicc came, like a northeast gale, Sorosis ! Somefellow i The Highest JBallo.on Ascciasion. The fa''owin$r account of a balloon aween son made by Messrs. Cowell aud Glaishr, from Wo ver-kampton, England, which came lira,;- proving fatal to the icronauts. is condensed from Oijlcc a Wee1: : Oue dull day in Angnst, just mtcrnoon, a bal oon rose in the air at the foot ol'Clote Hills on the western edge of the central plain of England. It was inflated with the lightest of gasei which chemical skill could produce, and it arose with amazing velocity. A mile up it enleued a stratum of clouds more than 1,000 feet thick. Emerging irom this the sun shone brightly on the air ship, and he sky overhead was the clearest an,d deepest bluo,:iul be'owliy cloudland animmeasur able expanse of clouds, whose surface looked as solid as that of the ea.rlh now lost to view. Lofty mountains and deep,, dark ravines ap peared below; peaks and sides of those cloud mountains next to the sun glittered like mow, but casting shadows as black as the solid rock. Up rose the balloon with tremendous velocity. Four miles above ea,rth a pigeon was let loose; U dropped down through the air as if it had been a stone. The air was too thin to enable it to ily. It was as if a bark, laden to the deok, were to pass into an inland, unsaUfle lake the bark would sink at once in tb,e. thinner water. Up, up, still higher ! What a silence profound ! The heights of the sky were as still as the deepest depths of the ocean, tihere, as was found during the search for the Atlantic cable, the fine mud lies as unstirred from year to year as the dust which imperceptibly gathers on the furniture of a deserted house. No sound, n,a life only th,o bright sunshine falling thro' skj it could not warm. Up, five miles above the earth, higher than the inaccessible summit of Chimborazo or Daw angiri. Despite the snnshine everything freezes. he air grows to thin to support life, even for few moments. Two men only are in that ad venturous balloon the one steering the tur ship, the other watching the scientific- install ments, and recording them with a rapidity bred j of long practise. Suddenly, as the latter looks on hi3 instruments his sight grows dim; he: takes a lens to help sight, and only marks from his falling barometer that they were still rising rapidly. A flask of brandy lies within a foet of im : he tries to reach it bat his hands refuse to obey his will. He tries to cnll upon his comrade, who has gone up into the ring above; a whisper in that deeASftlness ttouUI suffice, bni no sound come's.mm his Hp's he is voice less. The imnn iomes down into thecar; he sees his comrade ira swoon, and feels his own senses failing him. He saw at once that 'life and death hung upon a few moments, and seized or tried to seize the valve, in order to let out a portion of the gas. His hands are purple with intense cold they are pnralized ibey will not respond to his wiJL He seized the valve with his teeth and opened it a little ence, twice, thrice. The balloon begas to descend. Then the- swooned marksman returned to consciousness, and saw the steersman standing belore him. He looked at his instruments; ! h,ey most hnve been near ly eight miles up ; but now the barometer waa rising rapidly the balloon was descending. Brandy was used. They had been higher above earth than mortal man or nny other living being had ever been before. One minute more pf inaction, or compulsory inaction, on the part of the steersman, whose senses were failing Km, and the air ship with. its intensely rarified gas would bji ve been float ing unattended, with two corpses in the realms approaching space. . A Pleasant Sensattoii? The following is tje partial story of an Indian fighter who cameolF. minus bis hair on ibe top of his head : "When I fell I went over backward, drDp- ping my gun, and X' had got just halfway up again, tbe squaw yanki.ns- me by thehi'ir, when the Indian clubbed iny gun ard struck me across the neck. Ihe blow stunned me: The squaw kppt screeching and pulling my hair by handsfull. 1 heaid some one of our boys shouting, close by, aud the squaw started and run, one of the boys kii .ing h.er not three rods off. The Indian stepped oii foot on my chest, and wiih his hand gathered up the hair upir crown of my he id. He wasn't" very tender about it, butjirked my' head this way and that, like Salan. My eyes were partly open and I could see the headwork and tiimminsc on his eggins. Suddenly I felt the awlullest biting, cutting flanh go round my head, and then it ieemed to me as if my whole head had been jirked clean off. I never felt such pain, in a.11 my life; it was like pulling your brains right out. I did not know any more for two or thces days, and when I came to I had the sorest h'ead of any human being that ever lived. If the boys did kill the viper, they didn't get back my scalp, perhaps it was lost in the snow. I was shipped down to Larmje after a bit, and the nursing I got ain't made the hair grow on this spot yet." HI. Saya the San Bernardino Guardian : Our ittle burg was considerably exercised, at least some of the inhabitants thereof, on Tuesday ast, by the report of new and rich, gold dig gings having been discovered in the vicinity of Lytle Creek, Some 40 or 50 persons have left town altogether for. the new placers, and as many more hold themselves in readiness to go as soon as the locality is known. All sorts of rum or 3 are afloat, as to the extent, and prob able richness of the new goleonda. To satisfy (hp public mind in regard to the discovery, we prosecuted our search until we found out every thing about them : We learn Irom authentic sources that the placers are close about and between, the headwaters of the San Gabriel and Colorado river3. Nuwbers of our readers are aware that a great deal of prospecting has been done- in that section of the country and claims have been found that pcid as high as four ounces to the hand per day. Rstobmed : "I shall tell you now it was : put my hand oh raine.head, and there was m, T a 1. 1 ? I .1 von pain, men j. pui m neaa on mine oouy and there ras anoder.

Chey&nne Cor. Omaha Herald. Your yaper having recently takenquite an interert in all that pertains to the growth of the agricultural and mineral vesource3 of Wyoming, -ll not, I presume, re&se a little sp?co to the ftsblc descvipiion of a meteorologica.1 pheno menon that is now i ranching each evening in the akie3 above the-Rocky Mountains in that romantic territory. Since the- recent solar eclipse, they have, upon the summit cf the Rocky Mountain chaiin what the inhabit nits call a "ciecond twilight;" so biilliant with colors of mist, shade, and firo lights, as to pain the eye in the steady gaa upon them, and to leave an impression on the mind that u !1 never be obliterated. Just as the sun is about to sei, a heavy mist gathers on the mountain, and growing dense and denser, it shut3 out enji'rely the last expir ing rays of that luminous body; then all h. da-knes3, or nearly so, for soaie thirty miiiter- Jhen, all at ouae, the heaven? becon:e lit up from the horizon all anoimJ, far up to a small circle in the center, witb,a Jivid glare of the most dazzling chromatic colors, seeming as, thongh a tremendous bonfire wa3 ablaze below throwing, its- glare in clexr and steady flamo above. This gorgeous and! feat fully beautiful ' sce::e lasts for nearly an hou then steals qui etly away and the moon therefore dimmed by its fiery luMer regains its ascendency and JighU up the balance of the night in pale shadows as it is wont to do in every other clime, Nov, what causes these chromatic twlights? Thpy were never before wlinested byauyottho o!de;t mountaineers I was in, that section ar. ih's season last. year, and I have never seen so. grand aud so thrilling twi igbts, and these have only Gccurred since the great solar eclipse of the 17th instant. What doe it mean ? What doos it portend Hi dots it originate ? Old Sharsay, the learna l Ute chief, stand's im silence each night gazing at this wonderful) phenomenon, and when asked what he thinks about if, replies slowly and 'adly: "Ugh ! the Great Spirit is mad ! He blows fire ! His W'gwam is in trouble! White man and red man better feel afraid, for the Great Spirit i3 mad he is heap angry!'1 French Pete, the old trapper and miner, says: "It is now twenty-threo years since I S,iw the States. I have been a,bout eleven years n these mountains, and- LueTer seen such jfirey nights. The winds are damper; they blow milder and the air grow3 heavier; I don't know how.- to account for it. It has all happened since the eclipse of the sun. Something dreadful is going to happen. There will be a big fire som.e of these days that all the water of the world will never drown oat, and those days are coming ranidly."- If it be true, as one of the professors of tha Cincinnati observatory says, that immense vo lumes of' hydrogen gas were thrown out. from the centen solar eclipse, how long will it be before tlijs oxygen will be thrown out, and tho carbon become the ruling and destroying ele ment ? 'I giv.e- these particulars by request, and there are numbers of people in this city who, on last Sabbath- and Monday nights, witnessed, with me, this wonderful phenomenon on the summit of the Rocky Mountain.'', 8,2G2 feet above the level, of the sea. The Cheyenne and Laramie papers wdl endorse this description. The Elko. Independent say3 that long trains of emigrants may bealrao3t daily seen winding their slow and tedious way through that place to CaJilornia. A journey of 2,000 mile3 thro' desert and wilderness.seemssomethin strange in this age of rapid locomotion. Second clas cirsand cheap fare3 will propably close out this mode-of reaching the Pacific coast by another yea. The Silver City Avalanche, of a later dale says that terrible destitution and suffering exist among that portion of the emi grants on thek way to Oregon. Indian depre dations, sickne3 and accidents are the cause of the suffering. Appeal. -- -
