SOME DAY.

You smooth the tangles from my hair,
With gentle touch aud tenderest care,
Aud count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say,
"You III think of this again some dayP'
Some day
| 10 not scorn the power Of time,
Nor count on years of fadeless primei
But no white CLEANS shall ever shine
Among those heavy locks Of mine.
Ay, laugh as gaily as you may,
You II think et this again some day
Some day
Some day shall not feel as now
Your soft hend move about my brow
shall not slight for light commands,
Aud draw your tresses through my hands,
But you Will see no touch of gray,
Aud you-you will not laugh that day
Some day
know how long your loving hands
VIII huger with these glossy bands,
When you shall weave my latest crown
Of their thick masses long aud brown;
But you will see -H9>tonch Of gray
Adorn their shining l0cks-t day
Some day
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answer not,
You'll take from these one treasured tressi
And leave the rest to silentnessi
Remember that used to say,
you'll think of this again some day

DISTINCTION Of our GIobe.

We clip the following speculations from
the COrHhH Magazine In the present age,
when the network Of telegraphy brings all
parts Of the earth into close intercommuni>
cation, we are not likely to trace, oven in
the most widespread disasters, the approach
ing destruction Of our globe. The same day
which brings the intelligence Of some desc,
lating catastrophe brings evidence also that
the devastation is but local. We are seldom
informed of Simultaneous, or nearly simulta
neous, events happening in widely separated
regions of the earth's surface. Accordingly,
we are seldom led to dread the occurrence Of
widely devastating series of catastrophes.
But certainly events have happened during
the past few months which might lead nerv-
ously disposed persons to imagine that the
inhabitants of the earth are not perfectly
safe from wide spread destructive agencies.
The same week that brought news of the
great hurricane which ravaged the West In
dian Isles, brought also the account of de-
structive hurricanes in the Indian and Pacis
6c Oceans. Then followed the series Of
earthquake shocks which have inflicted such
injury on the already much. tried inhabitants
of St. Thomas, and which still continue to
be felt at Intervals. Next we hear of an
earthquake in Somersetshire, then in Malta,
then in Egypt, then at Formosa, then in St
Salvador and now, almost as we write, the
bed of the Pacific is violently shaken, and
hundreds of the inhabitants of the Sandwich
Islands are destroyed by a violent uprush Of
molten matter. During all this time Vesu>
vius continues in violent eruption. Thus it
has happened that we have heard great deal
lately Of certain speculations-recently ven-
tilated by an American philosopher-which
threaten the earth with complete annihilation.
According to these views there is one great
danger to which we are at all times liable
the risk, namely, that some large volcanic
vent should be formed beneath the bosom of
the ocean. Through this the sea would rush
into the interior of the earth, aud being forth
with converted into steam by the intense
subterranean heat, would rend the massive
shell on which we live into thousand frag
ments. Whether it is possible or not that
such an event as this should take place, we
shall not here stay to inquire. Let it suffice
that the risk-if there be any-is no greater
new than it has been any time during thou
sands of years past.

TIE MANNIsH WoMAN.-The mannlsh
Woman wears double. breasted coat with
big buttons, Of which she filings back the
hppcls with an air, understanding the sug-
gcstiveness of wide chest and the need OF
unchecked breathing; she wears unmistake>
able shirt fronts, linen collars, vests and plain
ties, like man; she folds her arms or sets
them akimbo, like man she even nurses
her feet and cradles her knees in spite of her
petieoa's, and makes believe that the attitude
Is comfortable because it is manllke. 1t the
excessively wOmany woman is affected IN her
sickly sweetness, the msnnish woman is af
fected in her breadth and roughness. She
adores dogs and horses, which she places far
above children of all ages. She boasts OF how
good a marks>woman she is-she does not
call herself a marks woman-and how she
can hit right and left and bring down both
birds flying When she drinks wine she holds
the stem of the glass between her first two
fingers, hollowS her under>lip, and tosses 1t
of, throwing her head well back-she would
disdain the lady like sip or the closer gesture
Of ordinary. She is great in cheese and bitter
beer, in caret-cup and still champagne, but
she despises the puerilities of sweets or of
efervescing wines. She rounds her elbows
and turns her wrist outward, as meu round
their elbows and turn their wrists outward
She is fond of carpentry, she says, and boasts
her powers with plane and saw; for charms
to her watch chain she wears cork-screw, a
giublet, a big knife, and small foot rule
and il entire contrast with the womaniy wo-
man, who uses the tips of her fingers only,
the mannish woman when she does anything
uses the whole hand, and if she had to thread
needle would thread it as much by her
palm as by her fingers. All of which is affecN
tation, from first to last affectation a mere
assumption of virile fashions utterly lnhar,
uonious to the whole being, physical and
Mental, of a woman

A LADY parting from her husband few
days since in the cars at Albany, was over

Will; write to me every day, won't you ?

way. Take good care Of my Sunday school
class for I'll want it when l come back. If
Miss smith calls don't give her more than
fifty cents, for we have to support our own

WOMEN BATHING.-I don't wonder wo>
men are not euamored of bathing, for the
costumes worn are rarely becoming to femi-
nine beauty. Out of the window l catch a
glimpse of a blueeyed girl l tried to teach
to swim this morning, though | presume
took more of lessons than | gave. She is 10
that charmingly uncertain condition between
girlhood and womauhood, and in her blue
trowsers aud tunic, her little white feet
treading symmetry into the sand, and her
arch and smiling face looking out from be-
meath straw hat, she certainly looked more
bewitching than she does at this moment. l
carried her to where l was obliged to hold
her up, and then supporting her gently, told
her to strike out. She did so, womanfully.
She seemed so prettyAlaying the part of the
boy, that yielded to the temptation to let
her slip from my hand, knowing she would
be frightened and cling to me like ivy. l
was right She sank under the swell of the
sea, and caught her in my arms as if had
done heroic instead of q sentimental thing.
The little creature was terribly alarmed, and
| had to hold her tightly for the remainder
of the bath. She afterward told several per-
sons had saved her life, and as had no
desire 20 receive credit l did not deserve, 1
informed her kindly of my strategy. She
pouted and looked prettier than ever, and
assured me she would never 60 into the sea
with me again. Perhaps she won't. But
being man of incorrigible vanity, and a
great grandfather besides, believe she will.
What girl of sixteen is afraid of man Of
seventy, or more or less We old fellows
sometimes forget our age.

A New BABY-A little girl of Kentucky,
at boarding school, responded as follows to
a note from her father, announcing an inter-
esting event in the family:
MY Dear Pap Il was right glad to hear
from you, and that you we're well but did
not like it bit to hear that mother had
baby, because it was boy, should be glad
if were little girl, but | hate boys they
are not nice. Now, | am going to tell you
what want you to name him. 1 am going
to choose a hOmely name, because don't
think boys ought to have pretty names. Boys
are squealing all the time. You don't have
one minutes peace while there is a boy-baby
in the house but girl baby is good thing
to have in the house, for it never cries.
Name him Yuba Dam that's good enough
for boy. You must excuse me for writing
so much about boys; the reason l wrote
so much about boys is because don't Ike
boys. My love to ma, and tell her l hope
she will do better next time

VOTERS AND TAxEs.-There are in the
United States, including negroes and the un-
reconstructed territories, 6,500,000 voters.
The aggregate expenses, last year, of Gener'
al, State, County, and City Governments
throughout the country, was $4,000, 900.
That is, the expenses of our Government last
year amounted to about S107 so per each
voter. But the Southern voters-of which
there are about 1000, 900, including ne yrOes
cannot pay more than one-half their just
proportion, and so the other half must be ad-
ded to the Northern voters. Thus, about
$40 apiece is added to their taxes, making
them SlSl so for each voter in the North~
crn States. Each Northern voter has got to
earn 434 cents for each working day in the
year, over all expenses for self and family,
in order to enable him to pay his share of
the general taxes. We can remember the
time when this sum was considered very near
full wages for farm hands and other unskill-
ed laborers. But we are living in pro-
gressiVe age!

THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE.-This empire con-
tains a total population of T,OO0,O 600, OF
which SO, ,47O, 900 are Russians. An exchange
says that the absorption of nearly all the
non Russian nationalities by the Russians,
especially by the establishment of Russian
schools, is making rapid progress. None Of
fers a resistance to this process of absorption
except the Poles and part Of the Lithuan-
iaus and Germans But without aid from
abroad they are evidently powerless against
Russia. and no insurrection could be more
i'll advised than Polish. Only European
combination in favor of Poland might be-
come dangerous to Russia; and, if defeated
ia such case, Russia might lose It's Polish
and German provinces, with population OF
six or seven millions. Beyond this, the
national unity of the empire seems to be Sc
cured. The Panslavic movement in Austria
and Turkey causes, moreover, some twenty
millions of Slavi in these two countries to
erayitate toward close union with Russia
as the most powerful among the Slavic tribes,
and the natural protector of the interests Oh
the whole race.

Railroad Material.

Inclusive of 4,3S2 rails coming BY way OF
Panama, there are now on the way to this
port railroad materials as follows: ITO .2S5
bars Of railroad iron; "a ,088 bundles of
chairs; l0,98l packages of spikes, bars and
bolts; 30,4 other packages, principally Y car
and locomotive material; 1922 wheels and
axles; and % locomotives. The rails aver>
age thirty feet in length. and will lay single
track for three hundred and thirteen miles.
There are thirty-six sailing vessels partially
laden with railroad material now on the way
hith1I. IT, ~s-rl-s~ tha raiI-.-I- - in
couase Of construction, (saying nothing Of
the Central Pacific, will take all the mate,
rial which several fleets like that now on the
way could transport. The Western Pacific,
and the Central Pacific, could use up the
whole stock Full two-thirds of the material
on the way is for the Central Pacific, and
when it arrives that road will still be in want
of more. Aud all the smaller lines, such as
the Gilroy Extension, Pajaro Valley, Peta>
luna aud Healdsburg, Suscol Extension, and
the Los Angeles and Wilmington, are waiting
iron. If the various railroads now in prog>
ress have the means for purchasing iron, there
is fine prospect ahead for shipping for a
year or more, as we have plenty Of wheat and
other grain to supply all ships with return
cargoes. Our railroad and shipping business
is probably only fairly commencing. When
farmers throughout the different valleys of
the State begin to understand what benefits
railroads have conferred upon the farmers of
Santa Clara Valley, Napa and Suisun Val>
leys, and what good they are likely to work
for the farmers of Pajaro, Gilroy, Sonoma,
Livermore Valley, etc, every farmer 10 the
State will become an earnest advocate for
railroad improvements in his own vicinity
When the citizens of other towns reflect upon
the benefits conferred upon San Francisco,
Sacramento, San Jose, Santa Clara, Vallejo,
Oakland, and, in lesser degree, score of
other cities and towns, they, too, will be anx,
ious to become connected with the great ar
teries and depots of commerce by railroad
communication. Railroads are but improved
highways. and, without good roads, the best
lands and the most tempting town stes-in
appearance-are valueless. With the best
road accommodations, the poorest land is
more valuable, for all practical purposes, than
the best land with poor road facilities. Hav'
ing already the hest of land, good railroad
accommodations will make each valley in
California the equal of the greatest wealths
producing regions in the worlds F. Call
