The Value OF . Kiss.

a year or two ago I dined in San
francisco 18th the family of a pio
neer, aud talked with his daughter, a
young lady whose first experience in
San Francisco was an adventure,
though she herself did not remember
it. as she was only two or three years
old &C the time. Her father said
that, after landing from the ship, they
were walking up the street, a servant
leading the Iarty with the little girl
in her arms. And presently a huge
miner, bearded, belted spurred, and
bristling with deadly weapons-just
down from a long mining campaign
In the Notwithstanding barred
the way. stopped the servant, and
stood gazing with face all alive with
qualification and establishment. Then
he said, reverently, " Well, if it ain t
a childW And then he snatched a
little leather sack out of his pocket.
and said to the servant, There's a
hundred and fifty dollars In dust
there, and I'll give it to you to let me
kiss the child" But see how things
change. Sitting at that dinner-table,
listening to that auecdote, ii L had
offered double the money for the
privilege Of kissing the same child l
would have been refused. Seventeen
added years had far more than
doubled the priee.-Mark IECdin.

at the house and made many inquiries
regarding Sabbath School matters,
&C.; but all was dumb. He was seat

questions were answered by mods.
Not syllable unsolicited; not word
was spoken. All was quiet as a deaf
and dumb ward. The result was, the
young gents lost their oysters aud
peaches. Two hours silence won
them, and will win for the ladies the
name of accomplishing a feat never
before successfully attempted. An

Last Saturday morning Levi Henry
shot and killed black snake FIVE feet
long, on the hills back of town. OBJ
serving an enlarged appearance about
the centre of the body, he concluded
that the snake had followed some
thing, which was as yet undigested,
so he cut the reptile open to ascertain
the nature Of the object. This fact
revealed no less than one of those
false china eggs, just the size Of an or
binary hens egg. The philosophy of
the thing is that the snake had been
robbing hens nests, and finding this
object in one. did not discover the
true nature of the inviting Wand until
it was everlastingly too late. The
reptile lad probably swallowed the
china egg some time ago, as the ten
stoned part of the body was hard and
white. Thu egg resting so heavily
upon the creatures stomach was
probably what prevented it from en-
tering on its winters dose. These
facts we vouch for, having seen the
snake and observed the Impress of
tho egg IN it's body.-Iront0n CO..

out. And when he'd got the blues,
and feel kind o'scruffy. aggravated
and diseusted-knowing, as he did,
that the bills was running up all the
time, and ne warn't making a cent-he
would curl up on gunny sack 10 the
corner, and go to sleep. Well, one
day when the shaft was down about
s foot. the rock got so hard that We
had to put In blast-the first blast
ing we'd ever done since Tom Quartz
was born. And then we lit the fuse,
and ciumb out, and got off about 90
yards - and forgot and left Tom
Quartz sound asleep on the gunny
sack. In about a minute we seen a
puff Of smoke bust out of the hole,
and then everything let go with an
awful crash, and about four million
tons of rocks and dirt and smoke ano
splinters shot up about mile aud half
into the air, and by George, right IN
the midst of it was old Tom Quartz
going end over end, and a snoTtlng,
and d sneeziDg. and claWlng, and
reaching for things like all possessed.
I" But it warn't no use, you know,
it warn't no use. And that was the
last we saw Of him for about two min
utes and half, and then all of sud
den it began to rain rocks and rub
bage, and directly he came down kerr
whop about ten feet off from where
we stood. Well, / reckon be was
p'raps the orneriest looking beast you
ever see. One ear was sot back on
his neck, and his tail was stove up,
and his eye-Winkers was sWinged off,
and he was all BACKED up with pow
der and smoke, and all sloppy with
mud and slush from one end to the
other. Well, sir, it wsrn't no use to
try to apologize-We couldn't say
word. He took a sort of disguised
look at hisself, and then he looked at
us-and it was just exactly as If he
had said-"Gents, May be you think
it's smart to take advantage of q cat
that amt had no experience in quartz
mining, but think different and
ed off home without ever saying an
other word.
THAT was jest his style. And
may be you won't believe it, but after
that you never see a cat so prejudiced
against quartz mining as what he was.
And bye aud bye, when he did get to
going down In the shalt aglB, you
been astonished at his sagacity. The
minute we'd touch Of blast and the
fused begin to sizzle, he'd give look
as much as to say, Well, I'll have to
get you to excuse me, aud It was sur
prising the way he'd shin out of that
hole and go for a tree.
Sagacity? Itain't no name for it.
Twas iRspirdt0nF
/ said Well, Mr.. Baker, his preju-
dice against quartz mining s0ds re-
markable, considering how he came
by it. Couldn't you ever cure him
of it?"
Cure himI NO. When Tom
Quartz was sot once, he was alt0ays
sot-and you might blowed him up
as much as three million times, and
you'd a never broke him of his cussed
prejudice agin quartz mining"
The affection and the pride that lit
up Bakers face when he delivered
this tribute to the tirmness of his
humble friend of other days will
always be a vivid memory with me-

1t is we'll known that the eternal
and incorruptible heavens" as they
were termed by Aristotle, are under
going continual and marked changes.
The so-ealled fixed stars-the land
marks of the universe have their
own proper motions not accounted
for by that of the solar system. Sirius
las that wonderful aid to physical
astronomy, the speetroseope, reveals
is shooting through space at the
rate of thousand million miles a
year. The star known at 81 Gygni
has a traverse motion alone of one
thousand four hundred and fifty
million miles a year. Many stars
more distant still, many even exceed
this rate CoopQr's recent catalogue
of stars shows that no fewer than
seventy-seven stars previously eata-
logued are now missing. This, no
doubt, is to be ascribed IN part to
the errors OF former Observati ons;
but it is certain thai to some extent at
least it is the result of changes actu-
ally ia progress in the slider cal sys-
TEN. OF temporary stars, about TWEEN
ty have been observed, and more than
six times that number are known to
be variable. Ii appears quite certain
also that some of the nebulR have un-
dergone change for both form and
brilliancy. When the celestial lamps
shall. by their own light, record their
history on the Photographic page, our
knowledge of these mysterious lu-
miparies, whose fires wax aud wane, or
go out In utter darkness, will be less
involved In doubt.

The people of Atlanta, Ga, have
just completed the organization Of
the Atlanta Cotton Factory Com
pany, with real capital of $780,

tory in operation. It's capacity is
TO be one thousand spindles. They
have secured the services of J,
Rhodes Brown, Of Columbus, Ca,
as superintendent and constructing
engineer. Mr.. Brown has taken a
heavy interest in the enterprise as
stakeholder, and is confident of be
ing able to make the stock earn
from % 10 30 per cent. net.
1t is gratifying to see how the
spirit OF manufacturing is being de-
Seloped in the South. In a few
years the Southern States will he
dotted all over with cotton facto
rles. If it is desired that TennesA
see shall occupy prominent po
sitiOn in this work of manufacture
ing the cotton where it is grown,
her citizens must bestir themselves,
and her capitalists must act prompt
ly in assisting to build up factories
in our midst.

The Press and Times hopes that
We will practice no conceaIment Or
play any double-handed game in
the present political struggle. We
can assure it that we have nothing
in the world to conceal, and have
neither inclination nor motive to
deal double. No one who has been
areader of the UNION AND AMERICAN
can say that at any time, We have
spoken with two voices, or that
our private cOunsels have conflicted
with our public advice. The times
in which we live, disturbed and
demoraized, crowded with new
and mOmentOus events, are such as
to inspire the devotees of patriot
ism and truth, with high courage
in their maintenance. We shall
not shirk the requirements Of that
honesty and fair dealing, which are
the panoply alike Of nations and
citizens-and which are, no less in
public than private affairs, always
the protection Of the weak and the
glory Of the strong.
