SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS. All, this beau
t.fll world | know not what to think of
it. Sometimes ii is all sunshine and glad
ness, and Heaven itself lies not far of; and
then it suddenly changes, and is dark and
sorrowful, and the clouds shut out the day.
In the lives Of the saddest OF US there are
bright days Ike this, when We feel as if we
could take the great world in cur arms.
Then come gloomy hours, when the fir.
will not burn on our hearths, and all with
out and within Is dismal, cold and dark
Believe me, every heart has its secret sor-
rows which the world knows not, and often
times we call man cold when he is only
sad. -LonQfeIl9se.

! Missouri and ths Sierra Nevada The Ar
kansas was dry in 1862 from the PaEnee
Fox 70 the CimaIon crossing, and previous
! 10 that time the Pecos was dried up 50 that
at many places the inhabitants we're obliged
TO dig for water And the Moro Valley and
Plains we're at that time almost destitute OF
vegetation. Now the vegetation is luxuri-
Oas, and il is one Of the very best :. heat
growing sections.
Denver was built on the banks Of an ez-
inct creek, which it was supposed would
emain dry; bat after the settlement, TO the
stonishneBt Of the people, it became quite
a stream, aud is now crossed By bridges
The Hnerfano, the Roysobeces, and others
that were dry during the summer months
ten years ago, are now constantly running in
fair streams. We are satisfied that along
the whole line Of the Union Pacific Railroad
there is much more moisture in the earth
than there were only few years since.
Again, Salt Lake Is seven feet higher than
it was ten years ago, and it is constantly n
sing, and it has been urged BY those who
have paid attention to the subject, that the
rise Of water there would produce a solu
ton Of the Mormon question before Con-
gress would act upon it. When the Salt
Lake shall rise a few feet higher We shall
look for its overflow TO reach the Shell
Creek range, as evidently at one time
water did cover what is nov only an arid
valley, not direct ia its course. but cut up
with ranges. still the continued valley can
be traced. This great increase Of water
viii work great revolution in the opinion
Of the people as to the capacity Of the great
plains for agricultural purposes.
The only reason why the great plains caa-
not be made into good fruit farms is the
lack Of water aud timber, as the land in rich
ness has no superior. The inciease Of water
Of which We have spoken viii do away with
one objection and the discovery Of coal over
a distance east Of Salt Lake for over SIX hun
dred miles viii obviate the other.
The man who travels over the Union Pa
cifc railroad twenty-five years from this
time viii find that the sage brush has given
way to crops of all kinds growing in the
greatest luxuriauce; and that the sturdy far
mers with happy homes have taken the
places Of the wandering red men. In oar
own State this increase Of moisture has been
noticed, and the old settlers do not hesitate
to say that in many places the streams have
increased more than one fourth in size dur
ing the past FIVE years. and in some places
whore there was no water then there Is now
small but constantly running streams

Chief Constable Hubbard. it will be re-

Gov. Scott sent the required amount of

don to Mr.. Hubbard in advance of his
trial The Chronicle and Sentinel says
There is no doubt in the world that if
Hubbard should have como to trial, he
would have been convicted, as the testi
mony against him was of the most posi-
tive and convincing nature. Indeed, so
assured was the prisoner himself of the
result, that he had announced his inten-
ton of not coming to Augusta when the
Superior Court met, preferring rather
to let the money Of South Carolina be
forfeited than to face Georgia Jury.
Thus Bullock has again interfered with
