REMARKABLE MIRAGE.-A cOrrespon-
dent of the Rochester Express writes as
follows: The undersigned was one Of
the hundreds at Mount Hope on Sunday
afternoon who witnessed, probably, one of
the most perfect and sublime miragrs ever
seen in this country. On the entire
north shy as far as the angle or bison,
was lifted the blue waters Of Lake Onta-
rio, while rejecting from her bosom could
be seen the monntains, hills, valleys, bays
and rivers on the Canadian shore inland
for many miles The coaat could be
plainly seen over n stretch of 6ity miles,
and so perfect at one time that the forests
could readily be distinguished The
reader can form some idea of Its grandeur
by knowing that country separated
from Rochester by lake seventy 10 one
hundred miles IN width, was, as if sud-
denly, by the great hand Of its Creator,
painted upon the heavens 80 plain as TO bs
seen from a standing point one hundred
miles distant Gentlemen present who
were familiar with the Canada shore
could readily distinguish Rice Lake, Bel
yidere and other prominent points IN Cam
ada. The lake looked az though it had
by great tidal wave rolled upon Roches-
ter, and covered one entire half of the
city, and no building could be seen NORTH
of Main street, or any land between the
city and the lake.

The Indians Moving to their Reser-
vatfGns--A Peaceful Prospect.

Chicago, March Intelligence has been
received at General Sheridan's headquar-
ters from Fort Laramie, Wyoming Terri
tory, and other points in that region, that
the Indians are breaking up camp north
Of the Pacific railroad, and preparing to
move South on the opening of spring to
occupy their reservations in Indian Terri
tory. The Arapahoes are foremost in the
movement, having already started on their
journey in large numbers.
The apprehensions, which the dispatch
es to Washington city said were felt, that
the breaking up of winter would, at the
same time cause trouble among the saw
ages as well as whites, are dispelled to a
certain extent by information that govern
ment agents are actively engaged in assist
ing the movement of the tribes, SO every
thing is expected to move smoothly, and
war, it is thought will be avoid.
There are great numbers of Indians in
the region of the Pacific railroad in Wy
omipg Territory, but some of the tribes are
disposed to be peaceabe, 1.-THE Arapahoes
and others,) and if the Sioux government
disturb them, the prospects are, from the
news received, that summer will see the
savages all stored away nicely on their
reservations.

PARTICULARS OF THE CAPTURE OF LVoTEN
BEARD, THE DESPERATE.

BEARD, THE DESPERATE.
FARMvILLE, VA, March 3rd, 1871.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
The old adage that there is "always calm
after Storm" has been fully realized in
our little town, and all is quiet along the
Appomattox, after the intense excitement
caused by the capture of the notorious
horse-thief Lucien Beard. In physical con-
formation he is every inch a man, and one
is forcbly struck with his urbanity, ad-
dress and ready flow of language In fact,
he is as mild hammered man as ever scut-
tied ship or cut throat.
Three gentlemen deserve the special
thanks of this community for their un-
firing energy and activity in bringing to
justice this daring robber and thief. |
allude to our worthy and efficient Town
Sergeant, r. B. Stephens; Mr.. w. II.
Kennedy, proprietor Of the Randolph
House; and Mr.. Samuel Amos, of the
county of Cumberland. When the party
in search of Beard arrived in sight of Mr..
Huddleston's house, where Beard was con-
cealed, Messrs. Stephens, Kennedy and
Amos dashed CALAMITY ahead of their
comrades, Kennedy and Amos surrounding
the house, whilst Stephens rushed boldly
in, demanding Beard to surrender, which
he did, handing his pistol with mussle re-
versed to Stephens, with The understand,
ing that the benefits of the law should be
given him. When the excited crowd
arrived, he claimed protection from Ste
phens, remarking that no brave man
wOuld shoot a OrisOner but that d--n
towards might. These are facts, from an
eyewitness, and are due to the brave men
who so gallantly risked their lives in vim
dication of the majesty of the law.

PARIS DURING THE SIEGE. - Minister
Washburne has written letter to Secre-
tary Fish, from Paris, February 5th, re-
porting his official acts during the seige.
He says:
"Now that the seige is over am thank
full that I have remained through tall, for
| believe | have been of some service to
the interests with which | have been
charged. 1t is with pleasure that am
enabled to state that have succeeded in
protecting all American property in Paris,
and that no harm has come to any of our
Americans who have remained here. This
statement must be qualified, however, so
as not to apply to the young American
Mr.. Swager, who lost his life by having
his foot torn to pieces by Prussian shell,
and to the two young men whose property
was destroyed by the bursting of shc'l !
in their apartments in the Latin quarter"
Mr.. Washburne adds that the most cor
dial support was given him by the authori-
ties, and he was thus enabled to prevent
the occupation of apartments belonging to
Americans, and to induce the abandon
ment of the project to tax the property of
absentees. Mr. Washburne also afforded
protection to Germans and to the magnifi
cent hotel of the Prussian legation, in
doing which he incurred the hostility of
some of the Parisians, and was denounced
at the clubs and in the press.

Tea Culture Ina California,

Several thousand tea plants were received
in San Francisco last year from Japan. and
after lying in store for sometime were set
out in a plantation on Mr.. Brannan's estate
at Calistoga. The plants had been SO long
out of their native earth, and were in such
condition when received at Calistoga, says
the Bulletin, that it was doubted whether
any of them would live. About ten or
fifteen per cent, however, put forth leaves
and will probably grow in time into re-
spectacle tea shrubs, though not at pre-
sent in very thrifty condition.
AT the same time quantity Of Japa-
nese tea seed was received and planted out
in the same locality. The seeds all germi-
mated, and the young plants appear so
thrifty that no doubt is now entertained of
tho success of the experiment, and Mr..
Perkins, who has the matter in charge,
having recently received from Eugene M.
Van Reed, of Kanagawa, a fresh supply
of several hundred pounds Of seed, is now
engaged in planting them. Mr.. Brannan
has renewed his lease, and made arrange
ments for starting a tea plantation on an
extensive scale. California tea may, in a
few years, become staple article in the
markets of the United States.

The ARCTIC ExpEDITIoN-The U. s.
steamer Perriwinkle, in which Captain
Hall will this summer make an expedition
to as near the north pole as he can ge,, is on
the ways at the Washington navy yard re-
ceiving complete overhauling, and when
the workmen are done with her, the stout
little vessel will be almost as good as new.
Heavy timbers are being used to strength
en- her, and inside her sheathing there will
be coating of cork. She will have in her
two boilers, one of which viii use blubber,
the only fuel accessible in some portions
of the Arctic region. To protect her pre-
peller when she reaches the ice-felds she
will carry propeller WELL Constructor
Delano, under whose direction several of
the former Arctic expeditions have been fit
ted out, has the supetintendence of the
work, and is giving his personal supervi-
sion to the fitting out of the vessel, which
is of 387 tons burden, and will probably
take not more than one or two guns. The
ex xpedition will leave here in May or June.

Herr Won Wickede, of the Cologne
Gazette. describing an excursion he made
from Belfort to Pontalier, says:
Heaps of forsaken corpses mouldered
away among the bushes and in the bitches
of the high road Not far from Mont
beliard doctor and I found eight French
men dead in one house, and already in an
advanced stage of decomposition. Among
them lay wounded man still alive, and
who cried out for help in a lamentable
voice. We took him out with some difficult
ty and laid him in the open air. He was a
little man, scarcely seventeen years Of age,
student at Aviguon. A Prussian grenade
had torn his two legs below the knees. HE
had remained in this state seven whole
days without being attended to, without
water, and entapgled among all other
corpses. He had wrapped up his wounds
in the rags of his uniform, aud the cold
had stopped the hemorrhage. He had
crawled up to his companions, and had
taken bits Of biscuit out Of their pockets,
which sufficed for his subsistence be had
Stacked bis burning thirst by drinking the
great fakes of snow which fell in at the
window He had lived thus for a week.
The unhappy man has been .taken to
Switzerland, and the doctor thinks he will
live.
Horse flesh is now the principal food of
the inhabitants Of the country and have
myself seen bevy of famished women
throw themselves upon a dead horse like
a pack of wolves, and tearing it with all
sorts of instruments swallow morsels quite
raw. have even been told-but | do not
vouch for the truth of this--that the un-
fortunate people have eaten human flesh
taken from the remains of the dead SOL
ders. This is the eighth campaign have
been through, but neither in Algeria, nor
in Italy, nor in Bohemia, not even in Sles-
wick, have seen sights SO horrible.

NANsEMoND Co., Va, March 2.
TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
After very hard winter of rains, SHOWS,
sleets, and hail storms, beautiful spring
with its pleasant weather has arrived.
Our farmers are bestiring themselves in
getting in early crops will plant very
small crops of early Irish potatoes, from
the fact that seed is so high,-$8 per barrel
for Early Rose, the only kind planted for
market; and, besides, they have determined
not to do as Southern planters are doing,
raise crops of cotton at 20 cents per pound
and sell at 132@14 cepts--potatoes that
cost $3.50 per barrel to raise them and
sell at 81 as in years past, but will put in
more varied crops of grain, &c.
We occasionally see stray copy Of the
National Virginian from Messrs. Humph-
reys &c Co., for which we are under obliga-
tions to that gentleman, but cannot peruse
its columns with the same qualification as
those of the STATE JOURNAL. We are
having cases Of contested elections here as
we'll as elsewhere. We had fair and im-
partial election last November. resulting
in favor cf those opposed to old Democracy
by 148 majority; and yet strange and in
consistent as it may seem to be, those who
had held Office for twenty years, and their
fathers before them, seem SO unwilling to
give up their old places, simply from the
fact that the Commissioners failed to meet
in accordance with law, and those APP
pointed to count the ballots were the
friends of the old aspirants: The present
incumbents, who are all old foggies, de-
mand of their opponents the full amounts
of security to their bonds, when one of
their stripe can qualify most any way.
Consistency, thou art a jewel

SENATOR SPRAGUE ExoNERATED FROM
THE CHARGE AGAINST HIM.-In the U. ).
Senate, yesterday morning, Mr.. Thurman,
from the select committee to investigate
the alleged traffic with rebels in Texas
during the war, under the resolution
offered by Senator Sprague on December
18th, made report covering nearly $50
pages, signed by Messrs. Thurman, Ham
lin, Howe, Wiley, and Trumbull. The
committee, after reviewing all the papers
furnished by the War Department, report
that they find no evidence of any COM
plicity on the part of Senator Sprague in
any unlawful transaction. That there was
guilty traffic by Hoyt, and possibly pme
Others, is quite probable they say, but
there is nothing in the papers to implicate
Senator Sprague Herewith. The commit
tee next quote the statements of Hon.
Thomas A. Jenckes, of Rhode Island, and
enclose the list of witnesses furnished by
him, some of whom are in Texas, others
in Colorado, others in New York, and an
important one in England, consequently
there was no time to examine them. The
report concludes as follows: Gall that
your committee can do under the circum-
stances, and after having found that there
is nothing in the papers duplicating
Senator Sprague, is to ask, as they now
do, that they be discharged from the fur
ther consideration of the subject" The
committee was discharged.

Some of the Jenkinses report that Lily,
or Lille, is to be the fashionable name for
young ladies in New York during the
coming summer. In one sense the name
is appropriate to them, since "they toll
not, neither do they spin," and it Is abso-
lutely certain that Solomon in all his glo-
ry" never could have been arrayed like one
of them. Lily has also another fitness,
which is that it rhymes toleraby well with
silly, an adjective that applies aplly to any
girl idiotic enough to change her given
name for stolen one.

The Sparrocs on The Square By this time
the sparrows have mated and are preparing
for housekeeping. They need nesting materi,
ais, such as small tufts of cotton, feathers, and
fine hay, which should be placed in their sight
every pleasant day for a month. A pair of
these birds require an apartment of two hun
dred cubic inches, which they fill in a marvel,
lous manner to protect themselves in our Sc
verest winter weather. Ifsutable houses are
erected at once for them on trees, well up in
the shade, and near dwellings any where, the
sparrows will soon find them. Plain brown
square boxes are better than the fancy houses
often put up, which generally lack room and
shade.
