minated by the burning buildings in the neghbor

1t is quite impossible to tell what wonderful
thing will next turn up in California. The
latest is the following =
"'Fhe Calaveras Chronicle gives the par
ticulars Of the discovery of curious cave in
the vicinity of Vellecito. 1t appears that a
Frenchman was at work there at considera-
Bile depth, and his pick displaced rock,
which laid bare an entrance to large cave.
A party afterwards descended and explored
the subterranean apartments. They assert
that at the depth of about 100 feet, they came
upon collection of over 300 bodies, perfectly
petrifed; that the hall contained an immense
number of stalactites, some of which rested
on and were Incorporated with the bodies
Should this rumor prove true, what glorious
subject for antiquarian research. 1t is said
that the skulls indicate race distinct from
our Indians. t

Life of the West Point Cadet.

He sleeps in the barracks, in the room with
and at half-past five in the winter, the reveille
awakens him; he Immediately arises, doubles
up his blankets and mattress, and places them
on the head of his iron bedstead he studies
until seven o'clock; at that hour the drum
beats for breakfast, and the cadets fall into
rank and proceed to the mess hall. Twenty
minutes is the usual time spent at breakfast.
Guard-mounting takes place at halfpast
seven, and twenty-four are placed on guard
every day. AT eight o'clock the bugle sounds
and the recitations commence. At one o'clock
the bugle again sounds, the professors dismiss
their respective stations, the cadets form ranks
opposite the barracks and march to dinner
Between eleven and one part of the cadets
are occupied in riding, and others in fencing
daily. After dinner they have until two
o'clock for recreation, and from two to four
they are employed in Rotations. AT four,
the bugle sounds, and they go either to batal-
, ion or light artillery drill This exercise
lasts an hour and a half After that they
devote the time TO recreation until parade,
which takes place at sunset. After parade,
they form into rank in front of the barracks,
and the names of the delinquents are read by
an officer Of the cadets. Supper comes next,
and after supper recreation until eight o'clock,
when the bugle sounds to call to quarters, and
every cadet must be found in his room within
lew minutes at study, and must remain there
mus employed until half-past nine At half
past nine the bugle again sounds; this is
called tattoo and at ten the drum taps. and
every cadet must be in bed HAVING his Gobt
extinguished and must remain tbora ,n.;1
morning. If, during the night, the cadet Is
found to be absent from his room moro than
thirty minutes, and does not give sat;st.c-
tory account of himself, charges are preferred
against him, and he is court-martialed. The
use Of intoxicating drink and tobacco is strict
ly repudiated; SO are playing at chess, wear
ing 'whiskers, and a great many other things
The punishment to which cadets are liable are
prlvatlon of recreation, etc., extra hours Of
duty' reprlmands, arrests, or confinement tC
his room or tent, confinement in light prison
confinement In dark prison, dismission with
the privilege Of resigning, and public dismis-
sion. Through the months of July and Au-
gust the cadets are encamped, and during the
encampment the instruction is exclusively
military. The only furlough allowed to ca
diets is two months, when they are in the third
class.
The pay of the Cadet is twenty-four dollars

FAILING IcEBERGs. Ice Of the most COM
pact texture, becomes very brittle after having
been exposed for time to a temperature above
the freezing point. The particles of which a
berg is composed, resolve themselves into
prismatic columns and when these are verti-
Gle in position, very slight blow is some
times sufficient to divide the mass. Icebergs
in this state have been known to rend asunder
on being struck with an axe for the purpose
of placing mooring anchor, and precipitate
the thoughtless seamen into the chasm. In
stances have occurred where the berg has
been quite divided by the blow, and the two
pieces have fallen over, overwhelming boats,
ships and seamen in the general ruin. The
traglllty of the ice in this state is such that
even slight vibration of the air may hasten
or cause its separation. And those who are
accustomed to sailing in the vicinity of ice
bergs, allow no sound above whisper to es-
cape them while passing an overhanging berg.
A case of this kind which occurred some years
since is narrated in the journal of a Greenland
missionary. He states that seven persons per-
ished in a boat by the fall of a berg-which
catastrophe was caused by lad striking the
skin stretched over the boat with piece of
wood. The noise of a falling iceberg in a
polar sea, resembles peal of thunder, which
is echoed from berg to berg, and perhaps from
mountain to mountain, with startling effect
Waves of enormous magnitude are produced
by it, which, rising high in air, break over
every object in the vicinity

All houses wherein men have lived and died,
Are haunted houses. Through the open dool
The harmless phantoms on their mission glide
With feet that make no sound upon the floor
We meet them at the doorway, on the stair,
Along the passages they come and go,
Impalpable impressions on the air.
A sense of something moving to and fro.
There are more guests at table than the hosts
Invited THE illuminated hall
Is thronged with quiet, inoffensive ghosts,
As silent as the pictures on the wall.
The strangers at my freside cannot see
The forms l see, nor hear the sounds hear
He but perceives what is; while unto me
All that has been is visible and clear.
y We have no title-deeds TO house or lands; I
Owners and occupants Of earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands
And hold in mortmain still their old estates
The spirit world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Watts through these earthly mists AMI vapors
dense, nU DA
A vital breath of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in equipoise
By opposite attractions and desires 4;
The struggle of the instinct that enjoys,
And the more noble instinct that aspires.
The perturbations, the perpetual jar
or earthly wants and aspirations high,
Come from the influence of that unseen star,
That undiscovered planet in our sky,
And the moon from some dark gate Of cloud,
Throws Ger the sea floating bridge of light,
Across whose trembling planks our fancies
crowd,
Into the realm of mystery and night.
So from the world of spirits there descends
A bridge of light connecting it with this,
Ger whose unsteady floor, that sways and
bends,
Wander our thoughts above the dark abyss

The Song of the Danube.
By CHARLES MACKAY.

No no ! they shall not have it
The proud triumphal food;
Although, to gain the glorious prize,
They'd dye it red with bleod.
They shall not have the Danube
Though Car or Kaiser fight
With ten times fifty thousand men
To steal it in our sight.
They shall not have the Danube
Nor source, nor course, nor sea;
They shall not, shall not have it
The broad, the strong, the free !
If sunk in sloth, like towards,
We let them arm, and take,
And yield them all they choose to ask,
For Peace or Mercy's sake;
What thens will that suffice them.
The Danube's fair and fine,
But so are Weser, and the Elbe,
And so is Father Rhine.
They shall not have the Danube
Nor source, nor course, nor sea;
They shall not, shall not have it
The broad, the strong, the free
Well stop them at the threshold
It's better n0,r than then;
And show them what a strength there lies
In arms of honest men.
Well yield them not an acre
BY Danube's rolling tide;
And call both Crescent and the Cross
To aid the rightful side.
No no they shall not have it
Nor source, nor course, nor sea
They shall not have the Danube
The broad, the strong, the free
