A Curiom. Glory.

An old gentleman in this city relates
one Of the most thrilling romanccs of real
life we ever heard Of. In this romance
he was principal actor. Many years
ago. in Vermont, an insane man sudden
ly disappeared. No trace of his where
abou,s could be discovered, and many
supposed he was dead. Seven years ai-
ter his disappearance, person who bad
known him dreamed that he had been
murdered by a certain family residing
near a, hand and thai he was buried in q
certain spot. This dream occurred seyc-
raj times, aud wuxso vivid that the dream
er related i, audi Induced Others to aid
him in diggugsnt the spot Indicated IN

and in all respects, like the water obtain
ed a, our common soda fountains in civ
ilized life. When dipping the water
from The springs, the ehervescsnre is still
going on in your cup until you place it TO
your lips, when, IT, you can Withstand its
suilocaiing fumes, you have "A most deli
cious draught. In the vicinity of these
springs, there are also, several other soda
springs, which, however. are much less
important, than those Just described.
Near them also. are several very singular
conical elevations, about five or six feet
in height, in the apex Of each of which,
is an aperture, Of about six inches in di-
ameter, from which the water gushes out.
and running down the sides of these
cones, it leaves upon them sediment,
which is thrown up by the water, and
which has, no doubt, in the process of
time, produced these extraordinary conf
cal formations, whict now much more
resemble the work Of art, than that Of ma.
lure. These singular evomilons of wa
ter and sediment, are produced by the cs-
cape Of great quantities of gas, generated
by The evolving waters in the subicrrane-
ous caverns below. The ceaseless COM
motion Of The waters, in those vast reser-
vors, produce constant lumbling and
gurging sound, which is distinctly heard
distance Of several rods from the springs,
and the emission of gas, produces kind
Of putting, and blowing sound. which is
also heard several rods. About one hum
dred rods below these springs. is the
steam boat spring. as il is called, which
discharges water and gas, in the same
manner, as those just described, but in
much greater quantities, and with re-
port quite similar to that produced by the
emotion Of steam from the escape pipe
of steam boat. hence the name steam
boat spring. These evomiions Of water
and gas are from tho face Of a vast rock,
and are frequently heard a hundred rods.
In the immediate vicinity of the soda
springs are innumerable other springs the
waters of which, are highly impregnaed
with soda and sulphur; and north, and
in fact, in every direction from them, the
whole country wears a striking and vol
canIc appearance, especially, at the north,
where the entire earth, seems 10 have
been burnt out, leaving scarcely any
thing, but masses Of burnt rock and lava
Numerous hot springs are also found, in
the immediate vicinity of these springs,
which produce water from blood heat to
the boiling point, in many of which, meat
is cooked perfectly done in less than four
minutes. The whole surrounding coun-
try here, affords ample evidence of for
mer, vas! and very numerous volcanic
erup,ions. This valley, and especially
that portion Of it in the immediate vicin-
ty of these springs, is really very ex.
lraordinaIy section OF country, and is DIES.
tined, beyond any kind Of doubt, TO be-
come immensely important and valuable,
because Of lis peculiarly favorable locali-
ly, its extraordinary, wonderful, and de-
lighhnl scenery and perhaps, the medi-
cal properties Of lis inexhauslble mine

Firm and unwavering midst the strife,
His soul has never falterd,
And standing on the verge Of life,
His feelings are unallcr'd;
Its holy light, the gem of mind,
Is brilliantly displaying,
Though the frail casket where lis shrined
Is silently decaying.
Wihou, nobility or name,
Dor country's genius found him,
And kindled in his heart her flame,
And threw her mantle round him.
Undaunied when tina, countIy's right
tyrant was invading,
He wore chap!et midst the fight
Cntarnishcd and uuiading.
Now where deaths sicn, waters lave
Liie's shore, his sun s declining:
But far beyond the gloomy grave,
Immortal light is shining;
For, on the uncreaeJ one,
In humble faith relying,
He trusts, when all his work is done,
Through grace, to triumph dying.
Lay him not in a marble tomb,
Where sculptured forms are weeping;
Let him rest IN the sl mt gloom
Where his cherished wife is sleeping;
Make his grave where the bright blue skies
And Curious stars are shining,
Where brIght-eyed flow RS, in rainbow dies,
Are lovingly entwinng.
Rear no sarcophagus to tell
The patriot hero's starry;

There is tide that can't be stay'd,
In noble hearts that love him,
The monuments his deeds have made,

Letter from one OF the editors Of the Independence
(Mo,) Exposition, TO that journal, dated:
EMIGRASTs CAMr, Kaw Village,2
May Is, 1915.
A ride Of one hundred miles from hide
pendence has brought us into the midst of
scene the most grateful and animating
my eyes ever behed! In the centre of a
beautiful prairie, which the wild taste OF
the Raw Indians have selected for their
permanent village, is The rendezvous of
The Oregon Emigranis, assembled here to
complete their final organization. One
hundred and four ,cagons, arranged in an
oval ring and linked together with OK
chains, form at once an immense. caral to
enclose the stock, and an impregnable for
tress to protect them. One hundred
more wagons encamped in groups al small
distances completes the troop here assem-
bled, which doilng the plain with their
snow white covers, resounding with a
busy multitude plying to and fro in bust
ness of preparation, or herding the cloud
of stock engaged in devouling the luxuri-
ant grass, combine 10 heiglien in interest
a scene full of animation, sunshine and
excitement. The emigrants have been
engaged during the day in framing and
adopting system of regulation for their
general government, and in the election
of officers. DIR. Walsh, of Cooper co.,
Mo-, has been chosen Captain; Stephen
IL. l.. Meek, Pilot, aud an admirable code
of regulations adopted, subordinate officers
elected, and the whole body arranged into
four companies intended to travel scpara-
lely or IN mass, as the exigencIes of the
route may suggest to be expedent.

still, from some cause or other, although enforced
by divine authority, they have measurably failed
of their apparently intended object. Evil still ex-
ists-man still wars against his brother man-temp-
tation still assails, and weak human nature, too
often falls victim to it.
In these times, then. rife as they are, with be-
nevolent enterprise undertaken, we fear, in too
many instances, more for the sake Of gaining lit
tie influence, or for personal aggrandisement, than
from any love to mankind, and when so many are
daily falling from the faith, would il not be well
to pause, and inquire whether we have not begun
at the wrong end-whether it would not be better
