As they again appeared In 1888, Humboldt
remembered the phenomenon and prophesed
their temperance In 1858.
From the consideration Of the nIsd stars,
Cosmos guides US to the plsnets-to those
masses that were separated As rings from
the sun, revolving round It. From Neptune,
the furthest Of thu known planets, Humboldt
guides us 10 the sun, the central body, whose
present condition shows Us In what state the
earth and all the other planets must have
been formerly. II was long journey from
the furthest nebule to the sun, but 1t was re-
muneratiye by reason Of its magnitude as
well as by the proofs obtained Of the unity
Of the physical world governing laws.
We return 10 Mother Earth. Matter ag-
gregated must develop warmth, Interior heat.
While the crust Of the planet by radiation
ultimately gets TO be rigid and cold, reac-
ton arises from the molten interior against
the firm crust, and this we call volcanic &C.
tion. Out OF the cooled atmosphere water
falls and Govern the earth, a. ocean. The
volcanic powers raise parts Of this crust that
afterwards form continents and islands. The

pear upon the earth. In the perpetual strug-
gle between land and water, whole classes OF
animals and plants arc buried, 10 appear
again al the present time. The most wonder
full and strange formations Of primeval Pc
Rod appear To our eyes. Plesiosoures and
"megalosaures, monsters Of 48 feet length,

Western Emigration.

Emigration to the West, it is sta
ted, has received a great impetus
from the completion Of the Pacific
Railio ioad and from the work turn
ished to laborers on other Railroad
routes to California. A smaller
proportion than ever Of the emil
grants arriving from abroad, it is
believed, remain IN the Atlantic
States. The passengers on the
emigrant ships no sooner land at
Castle Garden than they commence
making inquiries as to the shortest
route to the West, and proceed on
their way with as little delay as
possible. II is believed that, dur.
ing the next twelve months, fully
a hundred thousand persons, both
native and foreign born, will 70.
move and settle in Kansas and the
states beyond. 1t is reported that
villages are springing up in every
direction, where q year ago there
was nothing but prairie, without Q
village or even . hut. At Lari.
mie, 572 miles west Of Omaha, there
was not a house to be seen two
years ago, and now the traveller

A very pretty incident is related
of u canary bird BY Georgia pa
per. The door Of the birds cage
was occasionally lett open that he
might enjoy the freedom OF the
room, One day he happened to
light upon the mantel shelf wherc-
upon was q mirror. Here was II
new discovery of the most pro
found interest. He gazed long and
curiously at himself, and came to
the conclusion that he had found q
mate. Going back to his cage, hc
selected a seed from its box, and
brought itin his bill as an offering
to the stranger. In vain the canary
exerted himself to make the new
found friend partakc, and, becom'
ing weary of that, tried another
tack, Stepping back a few inches
from the glass, he poured forth his
sweetest notes, pausing now and
