Romantic.

Of all the romantic stories In the Ara.
bian Nights, there is none more extraor.
binary than the little episode that has
just occurred at St. Petersburg. You
will have noticed that an attempt was
made to shoot the Emperor, which was
frustrated by the prompt action of a
young man who stood near the would be
assassin. That young man, acting from
momentary impulse in striking down
the arm he saw raised against his sover-
eign, was afterwards so frightened at his
own rashness that he ran away as fast as
his legs could carry him. He was pur-
sned and brought back to the presence of
the Emperor, at whose feet he threw him.
self in state of terror, as if he had been
the assassin himself The Emperor rails
ed him, embraced and kissed him, and
proclaimed him Russian noble from
that hour. The romance of the story is
this The new Russian noble, only FIVE
minutes before, was poor illiterate
drudge in a small hatter's shop in St.
Petersburg. A week ago, his habits and
daily occupation were of the most vulgar
and mental character. To-day he ranks
with the most ancient nobility of the en-
pire. A subscription was at once set on
foot to provide him with means to sustain
his new dignity, and presents are flowing
in upon him from every direction. His
photograph is displayed in every shop
window, prayers are said for him in all
the churches, and retinue of the Cars
own servants are in constant attendance
upon him. And this great change has
come upon him simply because, doubtless
he impulsively seized an arm he saw
holding pistol and thus diverted the shot
from its intended destination. There is
something SO melodramatic about the
whole affair that one is disposed to
question whether it may not have been a
carefully devised spectacle, the object
being to gain favor on the part of the
Emperor from the lower orders, to whose
ranks the Emperor's saviour belongs.

Wonders of the West.

The wonderful natural formation and
manifestations of the great West have
been wildly portrayed in the letters of A.
ID. Richardson of the New York Tribune,
who went across the continent with the
Colfax party, and remained on the Pacif-
ic slope for further explorations. In one
of his letters he gives an account of visit
to a cataract, of forty feet greater height
than Niagara, aud surrounded with ele.
ments Of grandeur which the latter lacks.
We extract from the letter az follows

How Rain is Formed.

To understand the philosophy of this
phenomena, essential to the very exist
ence Of plants and animals, few facts do
rived from observation and long train Of
experiments must be remembered. Were
the atmosphere everywhere, at all times
at uniform temperature, we should new.
er have rain, hail or snow. The water
absorbed by it in evaporation from the sea
and the earth's surface would descend
in au impsrceptible vapor, or cease to be
absorped by the air when it was once fully
saturated. The absorbing power of the
atmosphere, and consequently its humid
ity, is proportionably greater in warm
than in cold air. The air near the sur
face of the earth is warmer than in the
region of the clouds The higher we as
cend from the earth the colder we find
the atmosphere. Hence the perpetual
snow on very high mountains in the hot.
test climates. Now, when from continued
evaporation the air is highly saturated
with vapor (though it be invisible), if its
temperature is suddenly reduced by cold
currents descending from above, or rush
ing from a higher to lower latitude, its
capacity to retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed, and the result is rain.
Air condenses as it cools, and like asponge
filed with water which its diminished ca
pacity cannot hold. How singular, yet
how simple, is such an admirable arrange
mont for Watering the earth.-Scientyfc

A CURIOUS CALIFORNIA STORY

A CURIOUS CALIFORNIA STORY
A late issue of the Napa county (Califor-

A family residing in the Napa Valley
has, within few years past, lost five of
its members by death. BY some curious
coincidence friend residing in San Fran
cisco has at each decease been on visit
to the family, and the fact has been SO
remarkable as to attract notice, and in the
minds of some create superstitious dread
of him. The year following the third
death the gentleman paid visit to the
family, and the lady of the house said in
jocular manner on first accosting him,
"What misfortune do you now bring 7"
Apparently in good health at the time, in
an hour after she was corpse. Recent
ly he paid his accustomed annual visit,
and aughter-in-law, who had been lin
gering with consumption for some time,
died soon after his arrival. No blame is
attached to him as an instrument in caus,

to "pop the question" On informing
his father of the difficulty he labored un-
