600 600 or $50, ,000,0 600.

The WEErING WATER There is small
stream in Nebraska known by the beautiful
and romantic name Of The Weeping Wa
ter The following is the Indian legend
connected with the name
Many years ago, two armies Of red war
riors met upon the prairie where this stream
now has It's rise A fierce and sanguinary
battle followed, in which very many were
slain. The wives and maidens of the braves
who were killed, wept here, aud then began
and from that time has ever continued the
pIaintive murmurs Of the Weeping Water.
And the old Indian legends tell us that its
murmurs are all sighs for the many braves
who fell on that day, upon the prairie where

THE WEALru-THE CoNnluoN-THE Horr.
The wealth Of California is like mighty riv-

mountains, each one feeble and nearly voice

among the rocks it is joined by another and

courage and power, until they swell to
mighty Hood whose current is resiStless.
The condition Of California is like that of
the rich youth, who by long series of dis
spation has brought upon himself pcnury
and disease, and premature old age. His
early companions shun him and he is forced
to hobbe on crutches from door to door ask

A FREMONT GERBAN.-The Cleveland
Plaindealer says that LOUIS RITrER-a no.o-
rious FREMONT German of that city-recently
wrote as follows:
"THE CoLoRED POPULATION IN CLEVELAND
ARE MORE INTELLIGENT AS A CLASS, THAN THE
IRISH AND GERMANS OF CLEVELAND"
This declaration of sentiment was undoubt-
eddy provoked by the fact that the great mass
of the Irish and German population of Cleve-
land are found arrayed in opposition to black
republicanism. RITTER should emigrate
to Africa-he would there find society more
congenial to his feelings. His countrymen,
we opine, would not be sorry TO get rid Of
him.

MORE ABOUT THE AEaOLITE-We under
stand that this curious phenomenon was OBJ
served at Copper Harbor, Eagle HARDER, the
Cliff Mine, Ontonagon, the Norwich Mine,
and at Superior. The distance between
Marquette and Superior, is a straight line, is
not far from two hundred and fifty miles,
which may aid US in forming something like
a correct conception of the immense magni-
tude of this object. The most minute OBJ
servations which have come to our knowl
edge were made at the Norwich Mine, and
on board the propeller Manhattan.
The passengers and crew of the vessel OBJ
served fire ball of the most dazzling bril-
liancy, about half the apparent diameter of
the sun, very high in the heavens, and
moving toward the South, attended by a
roaring or rushing sound, terminating with
explosion. Itremained in sight about thirty
seconds, when it suddenly disappeared or
faded away. A line of smoke or cloudy va
por was thrown off from the fiery nucleus as
it moved along, which remained visible in
the heavens for half an hour or more, after
1t had disappeared. At first this lay on
line making the path of the meteor. But it
soon began to wind itself into sinuous or
serpentine form and finally coiled up.
At the Norwich mine it appeared very
high in the heavens, about North and to
move in Southwestward direction some
four minutes after its disappearance there
were two or three loud reports following
each other in rapid Succession like the roar
of a distant cannon. The phenomenon was
witnessed by twenty or thirty persons, who
noted the time between its disappearance
and hos Of a.,1. knl a.,
distanceIfrom the earth to be about forty-fvc
miles.
Our able contemporary of the Miner,
who is good authority upon such matters,
says -
E" Its size cannot be very definitely ascer-
tanned, but il must have been very great
There arc optical reasons which prevent our
approximatipg with certainty to the true d.
mansions of ball of fire such as this APP
pearcd to be. The observers at the Nor
wich and on the lake represent it as having
been about half the diameter of the moon.
A solid substance to appear so large at a dis
lance of forty miles must he 800 feet in di-
ameter.'
'' The object was undoubtedly detona-
ting Meteor or Aeroline, of the same charac-
ter ofthose which have been observed and
recorded for the past two thousand years.
The stones of which they are composed are
found in great numbers in various portions
of the earth. They uniformly contain iron,
nickle, cOrals, nowhere else found. They
do not belong TO our earth or atmosphere,
bnt are probably minute asteroids perform
ing their regular orbits around the sun, and
are drawn to the earth when they fall within
the sphere of attraction of that planet. They
always move with planetary yelocity."-
