A BURIAL IN THE AIR.

In the journal of an overland traveller
to California, we find the following illus
tratlon of that startling optical illusion
called the Mirage: "U pom the broad al
luyials of the Platte river, more than up
on any other portion of the route, when
ever the atmosphere possessed a peculiar
hazy, elastic, retractiye character near the
surface of the plain, did we get the most
perfect exhibitions of these truly magical
appearances. 1t was upon Sabbath
morn in lS52-we were resting for the
day on the banks of the Platte river
The emigration of that season was inn
mense. Disease and sickness sported
with the trains, and death uninvited, was
on many day, and to many company
an unwelcome guest. Westwardly for
many miles no living or moving object
was visible. For short ride, we had
mounted horse that lifted US from the
ground to height the best to observe the
effect of the mirage, when to our almost
unutterable surprise we saw to the west a
funeral procession of nine persons, sus-
pended in mid air, and all inverted as if
moving upon their heads. Immediately,
every animal at hand, and every wagon
wheel,was occupied by our company to
witness burial in the air. Even the tops
of the earth-piles at the grave could be
seen, and, as if hanging therefrom, the
handle of single shovel, and all, every
thing of giant proportions. Arriving at
the grave, the body Ito use misnomer)
was lowered upward, disappearing in
misty impenetrable haze that obscured
the feet and ankles of those who stood,
or seemed to, around, start upward, and
then dissolve in air; but before the grave
could have been half filled, the illusion
had nearly vanished; in a moment longer
the green grass of the rolling plain was
visible in that direction. On the follow
ing day, nearly three miles from our
camping ground, we came upon compa-
ny of just nine persons, occupying de-
pressed portion of the plain, and upon
slight elevation near by they pointed to
the grave of their companion-the reality
of the burial scene of yesterday"

have not, as yet, fairly approached the
people, certainly not beyond the State of
Connecticut, but as we come before the
public, we rapidly dispel the Fremont
delusion. The whole Fremont sham is
daily coming out, and daily emancipating
men from it. When the people are reach
ed on the stump, the friends of the Fre-
mont press will soon vanish before a free
discussion.
The most alarming element of this can
vass, especially to the South, is the aban-
donment of the Democracy by the Ger
mans, and some extent by the Irish. The
Americans do not court foreign votes, but
accept them gratefully, vef to Ameri-
can principles. The Democracy of the
North, however, exists on, nay, breathes
on its foreign vote. Take away its forei-
gn vote, and it is nowhere in the North
on an election day. especially in the villa
ges, towns and cities. Now the German
vote, to a great extent, is gone over to
Fremont, and this abandonment of this
portion ofthe Northern Democracy shows
how little reliance the South can really
place on the Northern Democratic party.
In the very first sectional onset, the For
eign Democracy of the Democratic party
enlists in sectional warfare against the
South. The 'Red' Germans and the
Black Republicans are in close allia nee
against the South, and all are equally the
enemies of Fillmore. What is the duty
of the Southern men, then, in such a
crisis as this? To keep up its alliance
with such Northern Democracy? Ger
tainl y not, but, on the contrary, is it not
its duty to ally itself with the constitu-
tional conservatism of the North, that
great American party which Millard Fill
more heads, and which he illustrated in
i'll his administration of the government,
when President.
Fillmore is no Northern man with
Southern principles, nor Southern man
with Northern principles, but sound,
national, conservative man, of the school
of Washington and Madison. Equity to
the Union is his great characteristic, to
the North as well as to the South. We
do not offer him to the South as South
ern man, but as Northern man, tried and
true to all parts of the Union, and so
satisfying and paci(ying all parts of that
Union. He was President not of fifteen
slave States, and sixteen free States, hut
ofthirty-one United States, and he united
all in 1850, and made all happy and con-
tent. Elect him once, and peace once
more is returned to the country, and in
less than sly months the X ansas war will
be hushed in that equity, which will satisfy
all but extremes, North and South, and
peace will once more be restored to the
distracted States. But keep up this Sec
tionalism of candidates or of men, pledg-
ed, as Buchanan is, to reopen old wounds,
and to make new ones, and there will be
peace no more, nothing but that prolonged
bitter war of words, which ever ends in
the clash of arms.

BR1GHr Hours AND GLOOMY
All, this beautiful world! know not
what to think of it. Sometimes it is
all sunshine and gladness, and heaven
itself lies not far off, and then it sud-
denly changes, and is dark and sor<
rowful, and the clouds shut out the
day. In the lives Of the saddest of us
there are bright days like this, when
we feel as if we could take the great
world in our arms. Then come gloo'
my hours, when the fire will not burn
on our hearths, and all without and
within is dismal, cold and dark. Be-
lieve me, every heart has its secret son
rows, which the world knows not, and
ofttimes we call man cold when he
is only sad.-[Longfellow.

How TO MAKE A TRUTHFUL BA

How TO MAKE A TRUTHFUL BA,
RoMETER.-Take a clean glass botr
tie and put in it a small quantity Of
finely polverized alum. Then fill up
the bottle with spirits of wine. The
alum will be perfectly dissolved by
the alcohol, and in clear weather the
liquid will be as transparent as the
purest water. On the approach of
rain or cloudy weather the alum will
be visible in a 1acky spiral cloud in
the centre of the fluid, reaching from
the bottom to the surface. Thus a
cheap, simple and beautiful barometer
is placed within the reach of all who
wish to possess one. For simplicity
of construction, this is altogether su,
perior to the frog barometer in general
use in Germany.

rThe following is said to be an cx.

@The following is said to be an ex-
cellent recipe for Dysentery:
Take one table spoonful of common
salt and mix it with two table spoonfuls
of vinegar and pour upon it half pint
of water, either hot or cold, only let it be
taken cool. A wineglass full of this
mixture in the proportions taken every
half hour will be found efficacious in cur
ing dysentery. If the stomach be nause-
ated, u wine-gIass full taken every hour
will suffice. For child, the quantity
should be a teaspoonfull of salt, one of
vinegar, in teacup full of water.
