HOPE.

Hope, like the chow of promise,
lgilds the future, the prospective oi
mans life, and even in the darkest
hours of adversity, casts ray of sun
shine through the thickest Clouds
When the foods have swept away his
earthly all, and death robbed his
house of its dearest treasures, when
the coffin has closed beneath its sable
lid her whose smile was the pride OF
his life, when the King of Terrors has
plundered his cradle, sealed forever
those flashing, sunlit eyes, and stilled
the prattling infant tongue whose very
warblings were now his only earthly
Joy. Hope, the syren, the fatal enti-
Ger, still lives in his half broken heart,
Turing him on with her tempting wiles
to the broad, far-reaching sea of eter-
nifty. Aye, as he bends over the sod
that covered all that was dear, where
the weeping willow sweeps and the
green grass waves, and the white rose
blooms and chambers over the marble
slab whose very inscription marked
out life's brightest pleasures ; yes,
while tears of unavail;ng regret damp
en- the cold elods that wrap the loved
ones, Hope is still there whispering at
Eho vOry portals OF the tomb, "ye
shall meet them In q brighter, q bet
ter, happier world than this, where
death and darkness, sorrow and sin,
parting and pain are never known. -
Go ask the favorite of fortune; he
hopes to bask in the rays of riches,
and court alone those to whom the
frown of adversely is unknown /; the
schoolboy hopes to be through the or
deal of schools and school books the
student hopes for name and fame the
blushing maiden only hopes for the
realization of her youthful Dreams
Go ask the sailor; he, too, has hopes !;
what are they? port before the brood
ing tempest, and harbor in heaven.
Likewise, the soldier, who is valiant in
the hope of future glory, but the his
sing lead stills the pulsations of that
ardent heart, aud the brave and cow
ardly slumber side by side in the same
graves. Ask him who totters on the
goal, for whose bent form, trembling
limbs, watery eye, silvered locks, and
furrowed brow, time alone is response
ble. Ask him, and, raising his with
cred hand above his recumbent head
he will whisper, "My help is Heaven. "

PRINCE NAPOLEON BONA.
PARTEe

The San Francisco News Letter has
the following of this individual:
He was born at Rome in 1915, being
the third son of Prince LucieD, brother
of the great Napoleon, by second mar
riage, which, IS it was only for love and
not fo9 power, displaced the Imperial
brother. In 1882 Prince Pierre joined
his uncle Joseph, ex-King Of Spain. in
the United States. and attached himself
TO SANDERS expeditionlto Columbia. He
stayed two years and then went back to
Italy, where he got into hot water, aud
the Pope asked him to leave the Papal
Dominions. Surrounded by troupe Of
spies he wounded two and killed their lea
der, being himself wounded and made a
prisoner. Thence he went TO England,
and after that to the Ionian Isles, where
he got into row and was ordered off by
the British authorities. So he returned
to London and vainly offered his services
TO Mehemet AL. The French revolution
of 1848 was a godsend for him, and he
hurried over to Paris. He was returned
to the Assembly as member for Corsica,
and joined the exteme left, frequently
voting against the party of the Emperor.
In 1849 he went to Algeria as General Of
Division, whence he departed, without
leave, just prior to the siege of Zaatcha,
and was in consequence dismissed the
service by the Secretary of War, where.
upon Prince Pierre fought duel with a
Deputy. Since Napoleon III. assumed
the purple the Prince has been but little
about the Court and mixed bat little with
politics.

TIE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

It Is not often that 30 have found mat
ter for commendation in the public acts
Of Senator Stewart. Of Nevada. Here is
one measure Of his, however, that We
cordially approve, and hope our Legisla-
turo will signify their approximation of it
By appropriate resolutions. It ID .in tho
shape Of ga bill to abolish the frankine
privilege and to establish United States
Postal Telegraph SYSTEM" and reads as
follows:
"Be IL enacted, etc., That the franking
privilege is herebv abolished, and tho
Postmaster Gcneral is hereby authorized,
after advertising as in other cases, TO con-
tract with the lowest responsible bidders
for the construction of telegraphic Ifnes
over the principle mail routes in the
United States, and to establish Q postal
telcgraphic system in connection with the
Post Ofhce Department; and he shall
regulate the charges upon telegraphiC
SO that the revenues Of the system shall.
Is neatly as possible, equal the currcns
expenses for operating the same and the
construction account shall in no year ex-
cod tho charge upon the Department. Of
the franking pr1vhissga for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1860. -
This bill meet the appreciation of nine
tenths of the people Of the Paclfs side of
the Union. In fact, it win have the
sanction Of every one except tho5s who
own stock in that infamously corrup and
unprincipled corporation and heartlcss
monopoly, the Western Union Telegraph
Company, J, and their favored and pct organs.
There is no moro reason why the Govern-
ment should not transmit the messages of
the people over telegraph wires than there
is that it should not send their letters By
othcr postal conveyances. The telegraph
ic wires in present hands are not used for
the benefit of the people, but to subserve
private interests. They have been pros
tituted to build up certain favored news
papers and to break down others. 1t il
not only the case here, but it i so in the
East. Although the news Is gathered
thero by the agents of the Company,
they refuse to sell it to any save their ia
vorites.
We hope Mr. Stewart will press his
bin with zeal and energy. We hope his
efforts viii be seconded By the entire del
egation from this coast. The Pacific
States arc deeply Interested in cheap tel
egraphing. They are sick of the CALLING
yoko which tho monopoly forces them 10
endure. They arc tired Of being robbed.
It is dus them that they should be re-
lieyed. A postal telegraph, with rates
OF transmission just SUFFICIENT to eover ex-
penses, would bo the most beneiioent in
stitution ever created in the country. IE
would relieve the people of . grievoua
burden. Give as the postal telegraph by
all means.-S. r. EramiMer.

CURIOUS ASTROEOMICAL or
sERvATION.

Professor j. D. Steele has communicated
tho following TO tho Elmira Advertiser:
There appeared in the advertiser, come
weeks since, pargraph-copied, I be-
lieve, from Michigan paper-declaring
that column Of magetic light is shooting
out from the sun at prodigious speed,
that il already reaches half way the earth,
and that in all probability By another
summer VIC shall have celestial and atmos-
pheric phcnomcna beside which our ru-
dest winter winds will seem like . @June
morning in Paradise" In fne, that when
this big tongue of 6re touches tho earth, !,
il will lap up our globe at ono mouthful.
Very many have made inquiries Of me
concerning this prodigy; and, with your
lcavc. I will try 10 satisfy thcir curiosity,
aud perhaps allay their fears.
It has been known for some timo that
during . total eclipse, red flames Were
seen to play about tho edgo Of tho moon.
During the eclipse Of 1868 and 1869 il
was definitely tledthat thcywer entirely
disconnected from tho moon, and we're vast
tongues Of fro darling ont from tho suns
disc. BY observations With tho spectre
scope, and also means Of tho wonderful
photographs Of the sun taken by Do La
Rue during tao eclipse Of 1860, it was
discovered that these Gro mountains con-
sisted mainly Of burning hydrogen gas.
This was precious information 70 sccaro
in tho midst Of sho excitement, and nov
city, and in tho brief duration Of total
eclipse. It did not, however, satisfy sol
cntific men. For two years Dir. Decker,
aided by . grant from Parliament to con-
struct superior instrument, had been
experimenting and searching in order to
detect these flames at other times than at
the rare occurrence of total eclipse. On
the 28th of October, 1868, no obtained a
distinct image Of one of tho prominencos,
which hc aftcrward traced entirely around
the sun. Astronomers can, therefore,
now study these flames at any timo.
Tho result of observations now boing
taken show that storms rage upon the sun
with violence Of which we can find no
conception. Hurricanes swoop over tho
surface with terrific violence. Vast cy-
clones wrap its fires into whirlpools, at
the bottom of which our earth would lie
like boulder in volcano. Huge flames
dart out to enormous distances, and fly
over the sun with greater speed than
that of the earth itsolf through spaoo. AT
ono timo como of fire shono out $4,000
miles, and then died away, all in ten min
utes' time. Beside such awful conyul-
sions, the mimic display Of terrestrial
volcano or earthquake sinks into insignif-
canoe.
There is nothing in those phenomena
to alarm us. They have, in all probabili-
ty, happened constantly for ages past.
That wo have now means for investigat-
ing their nature and measuring their
height and velocity. furnishes no cause
for anxiety. Rumors Of these discoveries
have crept into the papers, and, exagger-
ated by repeated copying and sensation
al additions, have given rise to those
mysterious and uncalledfor predictions.

Il TOUCHING RELIC or POm
pEII.

In digging out tho ruins Of Pom
pei, every turn Of the spade brings
up some relio Of tho Life, some witness
of imperial luxury. For far the great
or part, the relics hare q merely Curl
ous interest; they belong 10 arChmol-
|ogy, and find appropriate resting
places In historical museums. But
there are some exceptions. Here, for
instance, the excavator drops, an un-
invited guest, upon q banquet; thore
he unexpectedly obtrudes himself In
to tomb. In ono place no finds o
miser covering on his heap; another
shows him bones of dancing girls and
broken instruments of music lying on
the marble floor. In the midst of the
painted chambers, baths, halls, col
ums, fountains, among the splendid
evidences of material wealth, he some
times stumbles on simple incident, a
touching human story such as strikes
the imagination and suggests mourn
full interest of the great disaster, as
the sudden sight of o wounded sol
dier conjures up the horrors of tho
field of battle. Such, to our mind,
is the latest discovery of the excaya-
tors in this melancholy field. It is q
group of skeletons in the act of fight,
accompanied by a dog. There are
three human beings, one of them a
young girl, with gold rings and jewel
ry still on her fingers. The fugitives
had bag of gold and silver with them,
snatched up, no doubt, IN haste and
darkness. But the fiery flood was on
their track, and vain their wealth.
their fight, the ago of one. the youth
of the other. The burning lava rolled
above them and beyond, and the faith-
full dog turned back to share the fate
of his mistress, dying at her feet.
Seen by the light of such an incident,
how wildly that night of horror looms
upon the sense. Does not the imag-
nation picture the little group in their
own house, by the side of their foun-
tain, langnidly chattering over the
days events and of the unusual heat?
Does It not hear with them the troubled
swell of the waters in the bay? see, as
they do. how the night comes down in
