CALIFORNIA, JANUARY IS. 1867
A Winter Song.

Let grim Winter blow his trumpet
On the mountains snowy steep;
Let the Oceans savage anthems
On the trembling beaches sweep,
And the demons of the Northland
From their icy cayerns leap:
We may laugh at all the terror,
Loving still the clouded cline;
Feeling that the clouds are only
For very little time
Stormy trumpet, savage anthem,
In their awfulness sublime
Having on the poor compassion;
Turning from the door;
Dropping nurture in their thin palms
That implore little store,
Till the Wnter-wail Of Nature
Dies, in light, along the shore.
e So we may take very reyel
In the storms that round us dart,
Full Of Gods great clouded glory
On the mountain. in the mart,
While, in spite of roseless Winter,
,SamB,er blooms loittin the heart.
William Ross Wallace.

MINING BY NIGHT.-It is n curious fact con-
nected with deep mining, that from the hour Of
twelve at night till three in the morning the dis
turbing influence in the earth obtains increased
activity. At that time it is observed by miners
that water falls from places where none is OBJ
servable during the day. The volume in the
wheel is perceptibly increased, the atmosphere is
charged with gases which often prevent the
lights from burning, and small particles of earth
and rock are observed to fall from the tops of
the drives. Whether this phenomenon is to be
attributed to the diurnal motion of the earth
other canses, it is worthy the attention Of the
curious.-Geelong Adrertiser.

THINK OF IT.-The San Francisco Times says
it is believed the trip of the COLORADO from that
port to Yokohama, Japan, will be accomplished
in 25 or 90 days. The Golden City arrived with
New York dates to Dec. llth on the morning of
the Colorados departure, and it is thought the
entire voyage from New York to the Japan port
will not consume more than As to so days. The
distance is l0,025 nautical miles-2000 from New
York to Aspinwal, 1915 from Panama to San
Francisco and 1850 from San Francisco to
Yokohama. From the latter port to Hongkong it
is 1000 miles. Il the trip is made in the pro-
posed time, say As days, the average daily speed
will be about 225 miles which is a very reason
