We never could find anything so very en-
ticing about kiss. 1t is all humbug, and a
fit subject for lovers to harp on.-Ohio
Chronicle.
Just hear that will you. A man, pretend
ing to sanity, to come out and say there is
nothing but humbug in kissing. Don't be-
lieve it, know better. Have tried it, and say
it good-yes-so much better as good
We remember years ago when we first kissed
pretty girl of about seventeen summers and
about as many winters. None of your one
sided arrangements, but like a trout bite,
right in the mouth. Ehu glorious mondi =
f. Pluribms Unum but it was fair taste of
heaven. Oh, those flowing curls those laugh
ing eyes those cherry lips that exotic ef-
fusion of bliss doub!y distilled. Hum ug
was it ? Never more mistaken in your life,
and if you ever kissed any one but your
grandmother you know better. How that
kiss electrified us. Our soul shot upward like
balloon-far away into ETHEREAL space-to
the clouds-beyond them-through the can
opy of heavan-past the singing angels with
their robes of Observation-Disclosures and
still upward till lost in the port down we
came like duck on a June bug. AS snake
shakes her feathers, a dove his tail, so did
we stand wondering whether heaven or earth
was our abiding place. 1t was good. An
other kiss, and the whole world shot from ln-
der us like rifle ball, and up we went till
our Uranium fetched up ker wollop against
some hard substance more than abilion of
miles away. You may call kissing humbug,
but you never will make folks believe 1t. No

Exploration of the Colorado.
WASHINGTON, Sept. !


The main portion of the party which goes
out under command Of Lieut.. Ives, for the
exploration of the Rio Colorado, will start
in the Star of the West tomorrow, en- route
for California. 1t is the intention of Lient.
Ives oproceed Immediately to the Gulf of
California from San Francisco in q sailing
vessel, taking with him the materials of q
small steamer. On reaching the mouth OF
the Colorado. this steamer will be put tOgetli-
er, when the party will forthwith commence
the ascent of the river.
This expedition of Lieut.. Ives, it is be-
lieved, will eventually prove to have been
one of the most importa t enterprises of the
kind of any now in progress; whether con-
sdcred simply with reference to its anticipat-
cd scientific results, or more generally to the
future destiny Of the vast region which it Is
contemplated thus t o throw open to the
march of civilization.
The Colorado is the largest river, save one
Of any west Of the Rocky Mountains. The
lower portion of the valley at points where
it has been crossed by exploring parties has
been found to possess soil of unsurpassed
richness, and the region through which it
flows is believed to possess mineral resources
of the most valuable kinds. Trappers tell eX
travagant stories of the sublimity of the
scenery on the higher portions of the valley,
and of the gigantic canons, or gorger, through
which the river passes. The new Territory
of Arizona, which border the lower portion,
is being fast filled up by cmigrants.
From Salt Lake, too, the Mormons are
pushing their settlements toward this valley,
and are now within thirty-five miles of its
most western bend. 1t is thought possible
that Lieut.. Ives may find the river navigable
for his small steamer as high up as the 37th
parallel of latitude, which will bring him to
point at no great distance from the Salt Lake
region, and solves the problem of short and
direct water communication between that
Territory and the Pacific Ocean.
The surveys and explorations connected
with this expedition, will include the various
departments of topography, geology, zoology,
mineralogy, etc. Lieut.. Ives is already ia
mar with a portion Of the route, having
tGaverscd it in company with Lieut.. Whipple,
upon the Pacific Railroad exploration, near
the 35th parallel of | titude.
The expedition is dispatched under orders
from the War Department, and will be espc-
cially gratifying to the citizens of California,
who have long desirnd that the resources of
the unknown territory lying adjacent to their
own should be developed.

ENcouRAGlNG.-We are experiencing some
of the most delightful weather; If We are Ia
vored with such growing season, for week
or two the corn in Minnesota will be excel
lent. We learned from gentleman who
ought to know thrt the wheat crop of Min
nesota this year will more than supply the
population giving large per cent. to the
Observation-Disclosures.
PorAroEs.-Nice, large, mealy potatoes
are abundant in our market. They are raised
in the country surrounding this city. and
command from forty to sixty cents per bush
ell. Minnesota potatoes are becoming ceie-
brated throughout the Union, and in the fu-
ture will become an important article OF ex
port.--b.
NlNIScrR.--It appears that the grading
of the streets in Nininger proves dangerous
thing to hercitizens. One man fell Oft the
embankment week or two ago, from the
effects of which fall he has since died. We
have also heard that another man was recent
ly seriously injured in the same manner
From these mishaps one would be led to the
conclusion that Nininger is sadly out o
shape.-U.
