An Rxciting Incident,

Persons on the lower wharves of the
city, little after six o'clock this morn.
ing, witnessed an incident that occurred
then in the river, the mortal agony Of
which, during the short time it lasted,
rendered it intensely interesting. A
gull had, with a swoop, struck its tslons
deep into the back OF fish, the size of
which it had evidently mistaken, for in
stead Of bearing it away, as it had in
tended, the fish not only remained in the
water, but swan rapidly about on the
survace of the river, mounted by its hut-
tering and now alarmed assailsnt, which
was uuahle to disc ngsge its claws from
their fastenings. The bird, in it's en-
deavors at first to carry of and thea to
free itself from its intended prey, soon
exhausted its strength, and its efforts be-
coming gradually weaker from exhaus.
ton, the woulj-be captor became the
captured, was dragged screaming be-
meath the water, and its death notes
choked by the ripping waves as they
closed over it-Alezandria Gazette.

Strawberries in New York.

The New York Sun, of Tuesday, says
Strawberries have been selling here for
some weeks at $40 quart, and some Of
our luxurious citizens, blessed with pal.
ates that relish the taste of silver, have
been enjoying them, literally regardless
of expense. Strawberries at $40 quart
in Broadway, and within stones throw
of hundreds of poor people who can't get
bread enough to eat at ten cents loaf |!
City of contrasts truly is this. Straw.
berries are delicious, but not when the
sum paid for them would keep many q
suffering family in comfort for whole
week. One must have very dainty
palate or very quiet Conscience to ban
quet on food that suggests such unpleas-
ant opposites.

Lots In Omaha.

We learn from the Omaha Times that
George Francis Train has sold sixteen
lots to the Railway Bridge Company, for
the purpose Of bridge across the Mis-.
souri,, for $l2 900, and has given half the
money to the corporation of Omaha.
This land was bought up by Mr.. Train
three years since at two hundred and fifty
dollars an acre, and is now sold, on sp-
praisement, at the rate of $3.50 an acre,
Just fifteen times its original cost. He
still owns 5000 lots as good as those he
has now disposed OF, which, at eight hun
dred dollars apiece, are worth the clever
SUN of four millions of dollars. But if
they grow in value as much the next
three years as they have grown in the last
three, what a rich man Train will be,
even if this land were his only fortune,
which it is not

The Age Of our Earth.

Among the astounding discoveries of
modern science is that of the immense
periods that have passed in the gradual
formation of the earth. So vast were the
cycles of time preceding even the ap-
pearance of man on the surface of our
globe that our own period .seems but
yesterday when compared with the
epochs that have gone before it. Had we
only the evidence Of the deposits of
rocks heaped upon each other ia regular
strata by slow accumulation of materials
they alone would convince Us of the long
and slow maturing of Gods works on
earth; but when we add to these the suc-
cessive populations of whose life this
world has been the theater, whose re-
mains are hidden in the rocks into which
the mud, or sand, or soil of whatever
kind, on which they lived. had hardened
in the course of time-or the enormous
chains of mountains whose upheaval di-
vided these periods ofquiet accumulation
by great eonvulsions or the changes of q
different nature in the confguration of
our globe, as the sinking of lands be-
meath the ocean, or the gradual rising of
continents and islands above--or the
slow growth of coral reefs. those wonder
full sea walls, raised by the little ocean
architects, whose own bodies furnish both
the building stone and cement that binds
them together, and who have worked so
busily during the long centuries that
there are extensive countries, mountain
chains, islands, and long lines Of coast,
consisting solely of their remains-or
Il l. al L
hourshed, and decayed to fill the store
houses of coal that feed the fires of the
human race--if we, consider all of these
records of the past, the intellect fails to
grasp chronology of which our expe-
rience furnishes no data, and time that
lies behind us seems as much as eternity
to eur conception as the future that
stretches Indefinitely before us.-Agassiz.

The New Postage Stamps.
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.l
The printing Of the new postage stamp
is rapidly progressing at the establish.
ment of the National Bank Note Com
psny in this city. The printing is done
under the supervision of several officers
of the Postoffice Department at Wash
ington, specially detailed for that pur-
pose, and no proofs or spoiled
sheets" are allowed to be taken or
carried away by anybody, not even by
the employees of the Bank Note Company.
A large quantity of the new stamps have
already been furnished to the New York
postoffice, but only those for two cents
arc as yet sold to the public, the old
stock of the other grades not having
been exhausted, and the new ones can
be sold only when none of the old style
remain on hand.
They are printed in various colors.
All of higher grades, like the stamps for
fifteen, twenty-four, thirty and ninety
cents, even in two colors. All the colors,
except black, are what are called delible
colors, in order to prevent the abrasion
or washing off of the cancellation mark
and the use of the same stamp second
time. Instead of the parallelogram, in
which the former stamps were designed,
the new ones are all square, and thus,
both in color and size, readily distin-
guishsble from those formerly used.
The following are the designs and colors
for each particular stamp:
One Cent-Hesd of Franklin in cir
cular ornamental scroll. Color, Roman
oker.
Two CeHis-Postboy on horseback,
within ornamental scroll work, printed
in light brown.
Three Cents-Locomo olive on track,
surrounded by ornamental scroll work /;
the color is blue, the word hostage" in
white on panel of darker hue.
Six Cents-Head of Washington in
square frame, blue.
Ten Cents-American shield an eagle,
surmounted by stars in the form OF q
section of circle, in clouds, printed in
orange.
Twelve Cents-Steamboat in mid
ocean, in circular frame of ornamental
scroll work. Green.
Fifteen Cents-The lending of Colum-
bus-a miniature copy of the picture in
the rotunda at Washington. This is
beautifully executed and printed in blue,
while the ornamental scroll or frame
around it is of pale reddish brown.
Twenty-four Cep ts-The report of the
Committee to the Continental Congress
in l776 on the eclaration of Indepen-
dence. Though of q most diminutive
size the figures are all portraits. This
design is printed green and the orna-
mental border purple.
Thirty Cen ts-On this is again repre-
sented the American shield and eagle,
printed in carmine, resting on battle'fags
of blue.
Ninety CONSOLIDATION head of Lin
coin in black, the scroll work and letter
ing being carmine.
For the thirty cent stamp another
design had boeh submitted, namely, a
miniature copy of the picture at the
national capitol representing the sur
render of Burgoyne, to lie printed in
black, with grayish purple scroll work.
but for some reason this has been rejected
and the eagle and shield su bstituted.

Snow at the Mountains.

The snow in the White mountain re-
gion is now deeper than for many years
before We learn by letter from the
Gen House that not only have all the
fences disappeared, but they have lost
some Of their out buildings. 0ne may
step out of the seeond-story windows OF
the main hotel, aud some.one-story out.
buildings are buried entirely. In Tuck.
erman's ravine the SNOW is estimated to
be q thousand feet deep, and some grand
snow arches are expected, which will last
all through the coming season. The en-
terpiising proprietors Of the Glen are not

There is scarcely a possibility that
Hsyti and Cuba will be annexed by
specific legislation this session. Some
sort of joint resolution, empowering
the Executive to do so and so, in such
and such contingencies, may, however,
be put through" If done at all, it
will be accomplished on the last night of
the session. 1t is beyond doubt, how
ever, that whenever the South shall have
been finally reconstructed, the contest
about "color and race !" will be kept up
through the accretion of negro territory.
When / wrote a year ago that it was con-
templated by the Radicals TO carve pure
ly negro States out of West India Islands
and admit them into the Union repre-
sented by members of pure African
blood, it was thought extravsgant. A
short time has sufficed to show that if the
Radicals are not arrested by the people
in their mad career, Dahomey itself will
loom up for annexation.

Brigham Young has telegraph wires
leading to his office and connecting with
every hamlet in Utah-a line Eve hum
dred miles long. Every settlement of
half dozen houses has telegraph Office,
with female saint operators, and in charge
of bishop of the Mormon church, who
can report at any time all that takes
place to Young. From his private office
in Salt Lake City, like the watchman in
the fire telegraph, Brigham may give an
order or ring an alarm from Idaho to
New Mexico.
