The party, how Sever, were misinf~t;med as to the locatioi of Florence. Joe had told them that col I had been discovered in the vicinity t Iemnhi, at the time of its occupation b t!:e Mormons, an(d they were under th 1impression that Florence was locate( Snewhore in the neighborhood, and ban ttirt'dl out wilh Joe acting us guide t i e old tort.. -e le1arned with regret, that the trai ' as some thirtlv miles behind and wool int be ui for a da:v or two at least, an g:i,,taht b, detaind.l much longer by !b r',uth n ture of the roads. We told thi in the condition we were in and begg,' tio, m tai siae our lives by returning to th train and procuring us some provisions a -spediily as possible. They agreed to d. sio anid road away after prom.isiag to return by ten a'clock the next morning. We nov etlt like men who had been resOned at the ink of the grave anod we spent the nigh in thiinkinr and dreaming of the go., thinigs we were to have the fillowing day baiu the night was one of lone, weary suf icringrl, and the iotrning se,.metd a.: a ,lng as three i ordinary days. lostwick latuglie at our imlnttience and when noon ap p's icahed and the strangers did not appeal ie encouraged ns by saving that it wau impossible to travel thinrt; mniiles and re iurn within the time promised. I had misgivings that the party would not return W\V te re wretched looking objects for any respectable person to encounter and I ti:,ughit plrobably the stranges, notwith 'sandirg our pitiable condition and stories of sui'ering and starvatlion, might have ,iistalken uits for orsethi aves or despera. Idoes who desired to mislead them for theL !,ripose of decoyiing the train into an ambush and caituring it with the assist ance of uther rutiians or a band of In I liaus. I had with mie about 125 ounces o1 gold dust tied in a bucksbinu bag, but itt wetig it hii becomeue burdensome and it now ia i1 in one corner of the hut where I iaid tarehlisly thrown, it, supposing it would never be of any use to me in lit world, I would gladly have given it all f r its weight in ilour to save myself and starving friends. Hour after hour drag ged wearily alonl,',ti tii at last we lino j nearly relaplsed into hopeless despair: we *lanid ourselves n )W tfo trstiting the pr. mises of the three men and wished that otte of us had go(,n with thea or that SBostwick had n it given up the journey he lid started uponi . To our great piay, how ever, tlhe striangers finally returnea t with provisious enough to la t us tor weeks. I 'h sight t,' tlhe food miade us ravenous, and we would have ii!.ed ourselves at Oiie wlithout waiting to cook aa ounce o0 it. We endcavored to use silme judge menit, and did eat sparingly at tfirt, tlt for turee days tfolivowig we were not sure ti.it we had nut been relieved too late.

Among tie party were Jact 3Mendeniali, now a Ineiniiier oi the irnn of Latune & co.. oi tBozemnan, Tom Pitnt, Bou Meuifte, now o0 Gailatin valley, Morrell, Dalton and many othe rs who were even then old tiome nrieuds and readily recognized as suchi as soon as the train was corrailed witain the tort. It seemed providential that thii party was led astray in searciing for rltore inL tor hadue toe' taken the rig t I r,iad they would not have tbound us, and It Si m0101ore ta prooudie that we should have t died uiseiabI y.

We here discovered traces of the rest of our party which had been ahead of us from the spot where -we . 4)aiauduned ,t.e boats. We saw where they hada, de' a diftticult crossing, and what was more satis ifactory, we found the trail of another party oi white men who had evidently overtaken them. We afterwards learned that Captain )DeLacy and party while in search of the same lead we were looking tfr, had found Urr, Beaver Dick and party in a famishing condition, and in fact had saved their lives as the train party had saved ours. The Six Hunchbacks. We have recently heard an anecdote of Talms, the great tragedian-his curing za tribulation by aggravatiug thle disease. For several weeks, eacfh time that he 'played, Talma remarked a huachbaek, who always sat in the same phFacef- e oa the frout stals aet the right of theth ; This little hunchback was critical, and, i often evinced his disapproval of certain / points made by the actor in a most mark n ed an4d impatient way. This conduct an d noved Taluna; each evening he determiu f ed that he would not allow himself to be Sisturbed by the opinion of this gentle man, nor notice his expressions of dis d satisfi.tiun-he would give himself up en d j tirely to his part, but this he found was a impossible. In spite of himself, his eyes were attrancted to this villai:;ous little Shunchback, whose fiatally magnetic gaze i caused hiin to turn to that part of the Ss'tage, and at last this evil power troubled him i to that degree that of all the anudiiece e he recognized but this one systematic and d ol'stinate detractor. e I alma, irritated, really tried by this evil s i,;fluence, at length determined to break o it up if possible. Ile called upon the n gentleman at his own house, and said to h im : e "Sir, I have come to beg a great favor of you. Of course I do not wish to de 1 prive you of the pleasure of attending the play, nor to insist that you shall find ime admirable when I have the misfortune to displease you. But I entreat that you wilil 1 take some other piace in the house, that I - nay not have you directly under my t'ye. r fbr I confess that you exert a strange ; power over me, that your gestures, your Swhcle person, occupy me so entirely, that I 1 fi:el scarcely able to go on with my part." "I am sorry for it,"'' sneeringly replied the little hunchback, "'but I shall retain my old place. I do not know why 1 should change it in order to render you a service. I No. my dear sir, I really anm quite unhap py in refusing you; but I wish to study yvu quite at my ease, and 1 shall retain mn accustomed stall.'' Talma went away, absolutely enraged. "Parbleu !" said he; "but I will have my revenge, you old scoundrel !"'' 1He went to the theatre, engaged the five tother stalls situated beside the one occu pied by his vexations enemy, and passed the day givi. g them away-these choice seats-wi:h discretion. In the everiIg a gentleman came andr t k, his pIace in one of these stalls. 'See,' sanit the habitues of the orchestra. our trieu, the hunchback, will have company this evening; his neighbor is de - formed !" The door again is op;:ned-a second t gentleman enters. S"Oh, aniother hunchback! Why, one wouki swear this was expressly arranged -a rtedezvous "t three hunchback I" Another person entb rs. A burst of1 lauýhtcr-welcomes the new coner. He is a fourth hunchback! At last, the fifth (all invited by Talma) n :k -is hi appearauce, and is received with laughter and stamping of feet. Upon the rising of the curtain the ac customed hu!ichil,:ack arrived. Ire received an ovation of alplause. The bravos thud dered around him ! Our little hunchback, pale with vexa .io,, took h~is place b,.t wren.' his brethren, who th.amýselv.; s laughed at the oldity of the posiition. During the entr'acte he made his escape, not to appear again ! Talma was avenged, and homeopathy had its precedent of the cure of an evil by pitching it over its own head with aggrava tion. A Yale Graduale as a Bootblack. The bootblacking trade is destined to be overcrowded. The exchanges are pub lishing a charming sketch of a Yale graduate who opened a law office in New York, and then, rather than starve while waiting f.r clients. opened business as a bootblack under the sidewalk at the en trance of a down-town restaurant. His earnings soon ran up to $ii a day, and he had to hire an assistant. While he was at work, he disguised himself so that his best friend could not recognize him, but out of business hours the bootblack was an elegant gentleman, living in a stylish boarding house on Twenty-first street. That ha fell in love with a beautifil being, that he had a jealous rival; who finally a;scovered the vulgar occupation. and in formed the venerable papa; that the young lady was keeping company with a boot black, goes without saying. But the de nounement is very touching. "Lillie !" yklP iedc4be old gentleman, red in the iace, "come here. You may take John as soon as you please. He set about earning a living honestly; and has suacceded. He will get on." The bootblack has resigned the brush and resumed the practice of the law, and he has gathered hi~L.i tai.-t his bosom. Go, young lawyer, and starve no, more.

The catastrophe in the stellar svstem the conflagration ofa star--which caused so much comm:otion in astronomical cir cles a few months ago, is made the subject of an article in Belravia by Richard A. Proctor. He says that this catastrophe happened probably a hundred years ago; the messenger wlich brought the news to us, though traveling" at a rate sufieicent to cirele the earth eight ti es in th,' coui'se of a second, ihad traversed milli as upon millions of miles before reaching us lanst November. I Ia similar aceidlent happen ed to our sun the creatures on that s:de of the earjth turn'ied toward himn would ile de stroyed in an instant, and the rest very quickly aft.ruward_. The heavens wouid be diss ,ied anl the elemn'tis would nmelt with iervent heat. [The question is asked whether the earth is in this danger, a. d whether warning would be given of the coming destruction ? The answer may be gathered from the ficts me ntioned in the article. There have been other solar con flagrations before that which was made known last fall. Tiýe first on record-ob served by lipparchuts-occurred 2,0i0) years ag'o. It was seen blazing in fuiill daylight, shiwing that it was many tims b righter than Sirius, the blasting dog star. It was called a new star because it had ever been invisible, until its confla gration made its light teinImorarily visi ble. The next now star (or stellar conflagra tion) appeared in the regions of the Iear e!ens between Cepheus arid Cassi ueia three tiunas, A. ). 913. 12 1 , 1572, alnd is expected to be seen on fire a gail beibre long. This star remai:led burnlin at its last appearance for sixteen mniths. It appeared larger than Jupiter and brighter than Sirius. It uid not attain this lus:r, grad na!Iy, but shown forth at once in its full size and brightness, as if it had been of instant creation. In 1356 Fabrieius observed a new star in the neck of the "Whlae" constellation, and in September, 1604. a new one was discovered in Ophi: chus. In 1670 a new star appeared in ilte constellation of Cygnuiills, remaining visible nearly two years. IIn 1848 anoth er was seen which has contiinued in exist ^noo innoe its T,, pp-"reiit ereatith;n. P. th'i aid of the telespeetroncope-an instrn ment combining the telescope aid spec troscope-it was funtlht that the increase ii the star's light, rendering the star visi ble, was due to thel ahnor-nll heat of the I d ly rogenl sulrri'on di li that 'rent'iote sun. But it could not be so easily decided whether this hvdrogen was ag ow with tihe heat of the star or whether ab;,ouute corn Sbastion was in process. In other words, was it as a red-hot piece of iron. or like a red hot coal ? These star conflagr:tions, it is believed, are caused by contact with other heaveniy bodies-Meteoric flights travy.-ling on ec centric paths, or those in atte:tdance o! the comets. The metetous attn:. it ent up on at conlet c,litiuue to fh!low iu its path years after the comcet h1s dis appcar d. iThe tail of the comet of 18t43 luslt aetnatl iy have grazed our sun. Newton's coin et newrly app 'oached it. At any time we might be visited v :a comet miightier than either, t avelien on an orbit in 1c rsetin g the sun's sulrflce, . ilowei .y iughts oft meteoric masses en'or!Otuls iil size and many in numlber, which, Eli g upo" n the sun, would excite hi; whlile frame to ,a de gree of heat thr excteediag what he now emits. We have evidence of the treumen dons heat to which the sun's surface would be excited in such a case. In 185) two meteoric masses came into contact with the sun. The downfail of these two bodies only afflected the whole frame of the earth at the very time when the sin had been thus disturbed. Vivid auroras were seen where they had never been seen before, accompanied by eleetro-mag netic disturbances all over the world. In many places the telegraph struck work, the signal men received severe shocks, and at Boston a flame of fire followed the pen of Bain's electric telegraph, which writes the message upon chemically pre pared paper. This was the effect of two meteors. The effect of a comet, bearing in its flight many mi!lions of meteoric masses falling upon the sun-should that tale place-can be understood. Our sun, seen from some remote star whence ordinarily he is visible, would l shine outas a new sun for a few days, while all things living on our earth and whatever other members of the solar sys temrn are the abode of lif.e would inevitably be destroyed. Ifa comet came out of that part of the constellation Taurus, arrivi:tg in such a time as to fall upon the sun in May or June, the light of the sun would act as a veil, and we should be instantly desfruyed without knowing anything aoout it. If it fell in November or December we should see it for weeks, and astronomers would be able to tell us when it would ralld upion the sun. The disturbance upon theI saiun outld be temporary, but there would bi" no students of science left to record the effects. The: ehan~ieere largely againust such an accident.. Our unn iS oae among iilhsons, 8y one of wheh -el beeom viibie to the eye unr sawca accidet7, i vet during the last 2.000 years less than twenty such catastrophes have been re corded. Mr. Proctor, moreover, reassures us in another way. Hie says, in effect, that all but one of th-se conflagrations have ap peared in the zone of the Milky Way, and that onei in a region connected with the Milky Way by a well-marked stream 'of star ::: That the process of development isi still g'i,,g on in that regiou;: but that it there be among the, comets traveling in re rular attendalce upin the sun one whose orbit intersects the sun's glo,be, it must have struck beo: e the era. of mian, and that in our solar system we may fitirly believe that all , nets of the de: truetisve sort have 1bh.-.n e lit0nalel, and that !ir awnv ages still to micm the sun will conti nue to dis dl ig, hlis 1d0ties as fire, light and life of t lhie s da." ystel. . . . . .. . . . .. - . .. . . . . .. i "LUncle Iom's C.'bina?" e "Uncle Tom's Cabiu" has been acted in e this country more times than any other play outside of Shakespeare. It was first SIput on the stage in troy, N. York., through a mere cha1ncc, by Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Howard, who were then managing a small theatre tere. "O'()liver Twist" was in re h arsal, and Mrs. Howard was the Olieer. In the adaptat i( the-n in use was a chara:tter since dropped--that of little SDick, the sick p'. uecr buy who intercepts Oiv/er in his flight from the poorhouse Aiithogh 1lck had only a few words to say, there way n nravaiti!ie child deemed competent for tbhi role, and it was decided to use the manager's little daughter, Cor delia, merely as a fig'ut, and omit the lan.ea 2e. Týi. cild was greatly interest ed in the rehearsal, however, and n a ,.nr slyly taught her the words of her part. Mrs. M. H. Fiske thus describes the per formance: "On came thle fugitive Olircr, while Ciordelia, aecording to direction, dltg att th ile of dirt dumped in the Scorner by the paling. Mrs. Howard affect ed to discovr the sickly Dick, and eau t iously imparted this information : "' n running away, Dick." ''Lunnin away, is -you ?" returned the new ar/iste behind the paling. The1 , wilt. a fall perception of the ch.aracter, and oblivious as to the writien words, the child gave, in her own I language, the sense 0f the text. "I'l conime hack and see you sonie day, Dick," said 5 irs. Howard. "It yo tt be no use, Oley, dear,' sobbed the iniifnt actress; "when you turn back, I yon't be digging 'ittle gra-vs-I'll be nial deal an in a 'ittle grave by myself." To suit the precocious apt ners tihus shown, "Uncle Toinm's Cabin'' was (Iraimatize-d to give the child a chance as l c. Cordelia is now innmarried, and has retired frimt the stage, but Mr. andl Mrs. Howard still appear us 8,. Clair and S- -e- - Women as Bull-Fighters. After the season of the principal bull fights is over, a second series is inaugur ated in Mlai il, and ill this, stout yluaI Amazons take the place of th,: harnlier brutes who usually tla:y the main.ors. T I ese heroines binl up their aIundant hair, with ribbous, and around their beties wear a wicker l',; >imless ba.rel, vfwhi i proteci them n'g inst te m.st tlir ous assanitS of tht tor'nwnted animals.

Th~y are fre quntly thrown high in thlie air, and now and them comiintg crashing in their osier barrel down upon the spectators. The animals chosen for this minor series of combats aire ordinarily young, and their tormentors avoid killing tnemn if possible. The rings are frequently invaded by cravwds of amateurs, who are provided with Iong, flexible poles, by the aid of whi"h they leap over the backs of the maddened bulis that rush at them. A few years since, children were introduced into the rings in combat with bull calves, in which the ]poor, little, misgtuided human creatures i were sonimetimes crippled for life by the calves, whose play was too rough for them. Humors of the School Room, In order to show that the interests of education are not always served at the polls, I send you the accomnpanyine "string of pearls," which have dropped froom time to time from the mouths of va !rious school committeemen within the range of my experience: 1. One of the gems entered a school room in one of our suburban towns, and, as he found the geography class up for recitation, took occasion to expiate upon the benefits accruing from thestudy of this branch in this wise: ."Yes, obildren, it does you good to know things. You don't want to be dolts all your':lives ; but when you see things'you wait to know 'em; when you see Alps, you'll know them's mountains;. when you see Appenines, yunu'll know them's moun tains; and when you see Dardanelles, you'll know thene's mountuius ?" 2. To show what qualifications in' a t aeher seem to be neeesary and s~u'i cient, in tJ~ opinion of some of the Upo.w e.'at ib.'i - a e seetioa, I to uwch ~fr the Jfiolomae * -~;r: t A gentleman, having a friend for whom he wished to obtain a school, called upon the man filling the office of committee, and stated his wish. "Is the handsome ?" quoth Mr. H "Yes, she is called very handsome.' "Well then," said the high-minded dig nittry, 'she shall have a school." Alas ! in this state of things, for the plain aspirants to pedagogic honors. 3. About twenty miles "up north" is 1 "dees:riet" where the prudential commit tee is a man who was put in the position 'just for fun" by his townsmen. .loke as it was at first, it got to be dreadfuilly practical when the grave "know-nothing'" grew to the habit ofv sit ing his cha rges once a week, and always iakiug a speech. of which the following is a true transcript: "Scholars, yon must love your school, you must love your book, you must love your teacher-I do !" 4. A very imlpo'tant personage was the one who confided to me the trials of his public life. Said he: "1 have to work too hard. It is enough for me to have to 'tend to my milk husi Ioss without doing so much else. "What else?" I said interestedly, "Oh, I'in S'lectman,sehool commn n itter, and mem her of the touse !" "Which shall you give up, do you think ?" "Wall, I've been thin ing ]'d better give up the school committee !" and I thought so, too; but 1 only said: ''"Do you find your du. ties onerous ?'" and his reply was worth) a Timion of Athens. "Yes, I do, but the honor is all a curse." 5. In discussing the question of music in the public schools, one remarked bland ly to inc that he "would as soon think of sending a hog to dancing school as hi: children to learn to sing in one of them ! 6. Another stood with his hat on his head, and his two hands plunged to the depths of his pockets; while listening to the repeating of the beautiful 23d Psalm by the children, and when they were through with it, remarked, with a pleased air: "Tney spoke that peace pretty wel." 7. At one time, during a long visit, the Committeeman only removed his hat to show me, wiih a pat on his bald head, what he was pleased to call the ""'oult of crammi:ng'." e idun't believe in it-he had suffered so himself 8. But better thaii all is the following anecdote, which is true to the minutest iparticular: One of our grammar school principal: was in the habit of conducting his class it eeography in what was then rather anove way. He would suppose some compound ed article of food-as a loaf of bread oi aicke, a mince pie, ete.,-and have the pu pils '"go on a voyage" for the ingredients tilling where eact came from, and tht route for it, over what mountains, rivers seas or oceans, as well as the countrie: travers"cd-a ver va.;uable and interesting i ethod, by the way, as it makes it a rea thing, and is not all "'book learning." 1)r. H. happenced in onlt day during suel an exercise, and, being much pleased witt it, ask'd Ir. Q. to "send 'eia for a plun: puido'n' " Accordingly, they started offoi: their travels ior the flour, sugar, salt. rais ins, spices, milk, etc., till they stopped, at they thoughi, at the end. "Go on," said our conrnitteeman. "I can't think of any thing more," said one. "Nor I," said an other, till all had spoken. "Why," said he, looking triumphantly at the master, "where's your sass ?"--ational Journal oj Lduction.t. A New York man, against whom pro ceedings for a limiLed diV'urce. had been begun by his wife, testified that he had to keep his hair ceosely trimmed to prevent his wife from pulling it out. When a man takes such a mean advantage of his wife we are not surprised to hear that she wants a divorce. No doubt if he had per nutted his hair to grow as long as a wild eyed piritualist's, so that shg could get a good grab and drag him around the room three or four times a day to relieve the dull monotony of her househol I duties, s!e would never have thought of bringing suit for a divorce. Husbands should read a lesson from this. Love in a Poor House. An extraordinary instance of true love comes to us over the hill from the poor house at Liberty, Indiana. For some tiume a woman, aged seventy years, has been confined there a pauper. Emp oyed as a farm hand, a young man, aged about twenty-six, has been connected with the institution. This young man was in the habit of carrying wood for the old lady's fire, and paying other attentions to her. A few days ago the keeper was informed ;y the young man that it was his inten tion to marry the old lady. Notwith standing the keeper's protestations an:d advice, the affair was consummated, and the loving couple are living together as happy as two doves in mating seasaon, Gen. Gordon has bought a farm f nine teen huntred and sixty acres in W.Jth uonaty, (ia., and is going to rage sheep xtensively.
