and plainly believes that Congress should
materially restrict the privileges of the
banks. He wants all the banks compelled
to keep their notes at par in New York,
and the South allowed its full share of
national banking capital and circulation,
to be deducted from the privileges already
granted to the north. He regards the
resumption Of specie payment as imprac-
ticable at present, or for some time to
cone, in which he is right, of course
He urges the strange theory that the du-
ties on foreign imports should be equal.
lied with the internal taxes, that IS, that
the tariff should be reduced, because the
excise taxes have been. The Secretary
argues this at length, but we think he
wastes time in doing so.
We have not space to refer 10 the
Presidents condensations of the other re-
ports, but would merely observe that they
are all gratifying exhibits OF the prosper
GUS condition OF affairs. The President
emphatically urges upon the Senate to
PASS the bill from the House to accept
League Island for an iron>clad naval de-
pot. There is but little of interest III the
reference to the France Mexican trouble,
the Fenians and TIE British spoliations.
But an important recommendation is made
that Congress pass an act for joint coz
vention with France as to claims for spO-
liations occurring during the Mexican
intervention.-N0r 1n,ey1cda.

A CURIOUS Casa PAUPER SUDDENLY
ENRICHED.

Several years since man named Free
man Waterhouse lived il Poland, Maine.
He had a reputation OF meanness second
10 that ,f no person in his neightorhocd d
He had a wife and three children. He
Guarreled with his wife and sued for a
divorce, which he was unable to obtain.
The wife also failed in similar attempt
Waterhouse then deserted his wife, who
subsequently became a paupor in the
town of Brunswick. Her .hree children
were placed under the care Of persons in
Poland, and have there grown up. Years
passed without news OF the scandalous
husband
Something more than year ago Judge
Luce, Of Auburn, received Information
Of the death of Freeman Waterhouse in
Idaho Territory, whittier, it seems, he
skcdaddled after deserting his wife. He
died after amassing fortune OF from
twenty to twenty FIVE thousand dollars in
gold, leaving, apparently, no heirs behind
him. The Judge Of Probate in idaho
wrote to Maine for information. Judge
Luce at once looked up The facts, and
reported them, and was retained by the
miser's wife, pauper in Brunswick, to
recover tie property The case has been
pending in Idaho the past pear, and has
resulted in a verdict which will give the
entire property to :hc rishtiul heirs.
Mrs. WaterhOuse will probably receive
$500 in gold and her three children the
remainder Of tie propelty-enough to
set them up in the world, Somewhat
Judge Luce las already received from
Idaho, for the widow, bag of gold dust
worth about SO, 200 in coin, and the re
mainder will be forthcoming.
The result shows that Mrs Waterhouse
was very fortunate in not securing a d.
vorce from the scape-goat, her husband
Crippled and unfortunate as her middle
age has been, Providence has sent her
some sunshine and some gold shine on
her declining years.-LewiSton (Ke.)

DESPAIR.

All. what lie life when love hath fed,
And what is love when hope is dead
And what is joy, when grief hath she'd
Its blight upon the blossom fair!
When sorrow casts her darkest wing,
When clou Is of doubt are hovering,
When from the fount of Hore no spring
Is left to quench Despair.
1t is to drag weary cham.
To count its links with anxious pain,
And ever to return again,
To count them o'er and Ger;
Like paternosters that are said
Like Ave's hymned above the dead,
Like funeral dirges sung and read,

The Frost Flower" Of Russia.

A Boston journal describes an extraor-
binary "frost flower" of Russia, which
has been produced, it is said, in Boston,
in temperature of artificial cold, in the
following words This wonderful plant,
or, rather flower, is found only on the
northern boundaries of Siberia, where the
snow is eternal. 1t was discovered in
1863 by Count Swinoskoff, the eminent
Russian botanist, who was ennobled by the
Gar for his discovery. Bursting from
the frozen snow on the first day of the
year, it grows to the height of three feet
and flowers on the third day, remains in
flower for twenty-fo hours and then dis
solves itself into its original element
stem, leaves and flowers being of the
finest snow. The stalk is about one inch
In diameter ; the leaves, three in number,
In the broadcast part are an inch and
a half in width, and are covered with in
finitesimal cones of snow they grow only
on one side of the stalk, to the north,
curving gracefully in the same direction.
The flower when fully expanded is in the
shape Of perfect star the petals are
three inches in length, half an inch wide
in the broadcast parts, and tapering sharp
ly to point. These are interlaced one
with another, in beautiful manner, form
ing the most delicate basket of frost work
that the eye ever beheld for truly this
is frost work the most wonderful. The
anthers are five in number, and on the
third day after the birth of the Glover Of
snow" are to be seen on the extremities
thereof, trembling and glittering like dia-
monds, the seeds of this wonderful flow
er, about as large as a pins head. The
old botanist says when he first beheld this
flower, was dumb with astonishment
filed with wonderment, which gave way
to joy the mos ecstatic on beholding this
wonderful work of nature, this remarka.
BILE phenomenon of snow-to see this
flower springing from the snowy desert
born OF its own composite atoms. I
touched the stem of one lightly, but it
fell at my touch, and morsel of snow re.
manned in my hand. Gathering some Of
the flowers in snow, in order to preserve
the little diamond like seeds, he hied to
St. Petersburg with, to him, the greatest
prize Of his life time. All through the
year they were kept in snow, aud on the
first day of the year following the Court
of St. Petersburg were delighted with the
bursting forth of the wonderful "frost
flower p Our friends in Boston succeed
ed in obtaining several Of the seeds, and
all through the summer and autumn they
have been Embedded in snow brought at
great expense from the White Mountains
and the coast of Labrador; and they now
have the most unbounded satisfaction
and pleasure in announcing that all signs
are favorable to the realization of their
fondest hopes, the production of TIM
"fower of snow" The snow and Toe arr
in large glass refrigerator, with the ther-
mometer forty-fve degrees below zero,
and the solid bed of snow has already be-
gun to show little assures and slight
bullying in the centre unmistakable evil
dences of the forthcoming of the phenom-
enon.

Probable Existence Of Great Cavern
Under Lancaster, Pa.

MEssRs. EDIToRs.-It is we'll settled
'elief among many of our most intelligen,
ssidents, that underneath the city of
lancaster and vicinity there exists vas,
averu. Many facts are recited giving
xtreme plausibllity to this theory, the
most important of which may be briefly
tated, as follows
The city is located within the great
limestone belt extending across the south.
astern part of the State, and of all geo.
l)gical formations limestone the most
bounds in caverns, many of which are
nown to be of vast extent. In sinking
rells in certain parts of the city, the bot.
pm crust breaks through before reaching
,'ater, and the pump is suspended from
bove by chains.
There have been several we'll authep ii.
,ated cases in the vicinity of the city, Of
Tie crust of the earth breaking and en-.
ulfng farm animals. In two instances
aen engaged in blowing, saw their teams
disappear beneath the surface and only a
!unnel-shapsd cavity remained to mark
he spot
The earthquake of September 20, as
we'll as several lighter shocks, may be
;ery reasonably accounted for by this the.
nry. Huge masses of rock breaking from
he roof of the cavern and falling into the
iepths beneath may cause such quakine
# the upper crust and dull rumbling noise
IS that which astonished the inhabitants
IN that day.
One of tho most convincing proofs Of
he existence of this subterranean cavity
