OUn Cool SUMMERS ACCOUNTED
For "A German sd cant announces dis
covery which is an appalling one for the
great grea,-grand children Of the present
generation. 1t is that the distance b.
tween the earth and the sun is ) arly and
constantly increasing. He thus accounts
for the cooler summers and more fire.
uuen: intense cold in winter Of late.
Part Of his argument is based upon
the presence Of animal and vegetable re-
mains in the Artic circle, indicating that
much greater degree of heat formerly
prevailed there. He also ayers that the
traditions of the Chinese and Egyptians
represent the sun as anciently appearing
twice as large as it now is, and argues
that in 5000 years more, We shall only
get one eighth of the solar heat We now
receive. Fortunately, however, there is
no danger that any Of US will live long
enough to GET frozen thereby.

The shadows i'm the Valley.

There is messy, shady valley,
Where the waters wind and flow,
And the daisies sleep in winter,
Meath n coverlid of snow:
And violets, blue-eyed violets,
Bloom in beauty in the spring,
And the sunbeams kiss tho wavelet.
Till they seem to laugh and sing.
But in autumn, when the sunlight,
Crowns the cedar-covered hill,
Shadows darken in the valley,
Shadows omlnous and still
And the yellow leaves, like banners
OF an ElIln host, that's He'd,
Tng'd with gold and royal purple,
Flutter sadly overhead.
And those shadows, gloomy shadows,
Like dim phantoms on the ground,
Stretch their dreamy length forever
On daiSy-covered mound
And ! loved her, yes loved her,
But the angels loved her too
So she's sleeping, in the valley,
Meath the sky so bright and blue.
And no slab of .palld marble,
Rears its white and CHASTITY head,
Telling wanderers in the valley,
OF the virtues Of the dead.
But n lily is her tombstone,
And dew drop pure aud bright,
Is the epitaph an angel
Wrote in The Stiffness of the night.
And I'm mournful, very mournrul,
For nay soul doth ever crave
For the fading Of the shadows
From that little woodland grave.
For the memory of the loved one,
From my soul will never part
And those shadows in the valley,
Dim the sunshine Of my heart.

Samuel Brannan, of San Francisco, denies that

in-law Of the dried-up Cuban, "pulled the press
for the first printed sheet issued in San Francis
co,"-says be did that thing himself On the
subject of the first press, he further says:
"The press was afterwards sent to Sacramento
to be used for printing the Placer Times, the first
paper printed in that city since whep have no
knowledge of its location, but whoever may have
ii in their possession will pay handsome price
for it, and present il to the California Pioneers"
1t may be possible that the old press is now a
part of the furniture of the JOURNAL office. We
have the press brought here in the summer of
1854 by L. A. Rowe, and on which the Trinity
Times was printed. 1t is Smith press, with
Washington works, except the leverage The
star, several copies of which we have, does not
more than half cover it. The bolts from the

appearance at this time is any indication, Wen

7. ii. Rolfe, of the Nevada Democrat, writes to
the Sacramento Union that the old Star press
was probably sent from Sacramento ho Auburn
or Diamond Springs in 1852, as papers were com

some light on the matter, as we think he bought
