Tho Pacific Railroad Sheds,

built by the Pacific Railroad Compan,
to protect their trark from the deel
SHOWS of the Sierra Nevada, were
crushed by the weight of the snow ,ha;
fell upon them. and ,hst some other
method OF protection would have to
be devised. 1t seems, however. that
this plan of shedding has not been
abandoned. The company are now
engaged in erecting sheds over the
cuttings and other exposed points
They are OF heavy timber frame work,
with pointed gable roofs, and look as
if they could withstand aim st any
pressure of snow. Nearly iorty miles
oi the track will have to be thus COW

qlired will be enormous. Not less
iilan twenty-five saw mills, most of
them worked by 'stcarn, are run night
and day, employing nearly two thous
and men, and yet they t!o not work up
to the needs OF the company. In a few
weeks twenty eight mills will be run
ming. 1t is estimated that it will re-
quire no less than 100000 feet OF lum-
Der to construct a mile of sheds. So
great is the demand that the country,

utter disinterestedness; entire loyalty
to justice; great knowledge of men;
rare power to mold them-surely
these are the qualities that make a
great man. Mr. Stephens adds one

harmonious whole. Our GREAT CON-

ability and the qualities of leader
Adams life was apatc work OF Selfish
ness and servility crowned with ten
years-ending the ei.hty--when his
soul rose TO serve his country and his
race. But the GREAT CoMMoNEK won
his title by the simplicity Of hrs life,
the who!eness OF his dev votion, his un-
matched ability and the proud success
Heaven accorded him. lin 1861 he
had been fifty years old, instead Of
close on seventy, the war would have

An AGTEsIAS WELL IN THE DEsgRr-
The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany are boring an artesian we'll near
Maags station and about u mile west
of the Hot Springs. The water from
the Springs, and in fact all the water
that has yet been found in that vicin-
ity, is SO strongly impregnated with
minerals ofyarious kinds-sulphur salts,
and alkalies predominatnr-as to be
unfit for drinking The object Of the
company is to sink to sufficient depth
to procure pure and sweet water. AT
a depth OF few feet the borers have
struck water, but it is the same as that
found on the surface, and the boring
will be continued till pure water is
found or an impracticable depth is at
tanned. Some OF the men who were
mining in that vicinity in 1861 declare
that the company are much more like
ly to strike hell than fresh water by
boring anywhere near the Hot Springs.
They tell curious stories of the eccen-
tricities displayed by the springs dur
ng the three months they were en-.
camped in the vicinity. one night
they were startled by a loud explo-
SION, and looking towards the springs
saw sheet OF flame thirty or forty
feet IN height, dancing about over the
prime pal spring. The flame disappear
ed entirely in few seconds, but an
eruption of hot water, steam and mud
ensued that lasted nearly two days
The men VINO saw these things think
the railroad company will be apt te
run their augur into something disa
greeable when they get down few
hundred feet-hot water, fire. or some
thing else savoring of the lower re-
gions.-Jvyinta zrespass.

There is as mu IA connection between

by the utterance OF that word he cx-

teal terms, for the use of persons who
intend to follow the sea. In order to
correct popular belief our author
grayely asserts that berths on board
ship do not necessarily add to the Gems

nests. The way Of the ship is not the
extent OF her avoirdupos. The boat
swain does not pipe all the hands with
a meerschaum. The ship does not
have wake over dead calm. The
swell OF a ships side is not caused by
dropsy, nor is the taper Of the bow
spirit a tallow candle. The hold is not
the vessels grip. The trough Of the
sea Is not dug out Of ships lo.. III,
crest OF wave is not an indication o.
its rank. The buoy is not the cap

to their quarters with a club. Ships
are never boarded at hotels The

ScIE>cE AND SKEPricisM.--The reve
|. t ons of science may, anu in the ma
lure OF things must, often be at vari
ance with popular preconceptions; but
yariances OF this kind need not give
rise to hostility, nor preclude conric
ton. Theoioyians may be startled b.y
new discoveries in science, just as their
predecessors were by the assertions OF
astronomy; bat they are not on that
account entitled to accuse men Of Sci
ence of skepticism and infdelity; nor,
on the other hand, have men of science
any right 20 retort on theologians the
charge OF dogmatism and bigotry. be-
cause they are not prepared ali at once
to accept the new deductions The
skeptic and intidclis he who refuses facts
andrejects the conclusions OF enlighten-
ed reason; the dogmatist and bgo, is he
who, over estimating his own opinions,
undertakes those OF others and obsti-
nately resists all conviction. What
may be accepted by one mind under
the bias Of early training, may be in
sufficient to induce belief in another
differently trained but equally earnest
to arrive at the truth. 10 faith
says Bunsen, it is immaterial whether
science discover truth in spirit OF skep-
ticism or belief; and truth has really
been found by both courses, but never
by dishonesty or s!oth." Arguments
may prevail; al lse never wins over
converts. Bad words never make good
arguments; and we may rest assured
that he who is in the habit OF using
them is by no means in Il fitting spirit

And shine upon me from afar;
SO shall bask in light divine
That falls from love own gui1ing-star
SO shall thy eminence be high,
And so my passion shall not die.
But all my life shall reach its hands
of lofty longing toward thy face,
And be as one who speeehlsss stands
In rupture at some perfect grace.
Ny love, my hope, my all, shall be

Thine eyes shall be the heavenly lights,
Thy voice shall be the summer breeze,

The murmuring tops OF leafy trees.
And will touch thy beauteous form

But Lou thyself shall come not down
From that pure region far above
but keep thy throne and wear thy crown
Queen Of my heart and queen Of love!

And 4 monarch-at thy feet.
