Academy Of Science.

Monday evening Ma or Edward Gotthiel,
chairman Of the fifteenth scientific section,
delivered a most interesting and instructive
lecture upon the subject, Devotion, the
Mother of Architecture" The major took
very high ground in favor OF the claims OF
the ar: of which he is one OF the professors,
while he made his address the opportunity
for giving his audience a literary and scien-
titc treat such as is seldom enjoyed. His
line of argument was clear, and admirably
supported by Illustrations from the history
Of fine various ORDERS OF architecture and
the STYLES of different nations and ages.
The finest monuments Of the culture and
refinement of past ages, the most enduring
records OF that culture and refinement,
were found in the temples erected for the
worship of Deity. The noblesv inspirations
of human genius had been devoted to ex-
press the gratitude of man to his Creator.
The temple was embodied worship, and in
the effort to produce something approprla-
| tc,v near perfection for the alteration OF the
! Author of all good, the various pure orders
| of architecture had been developed. 4 re
view of the characteristics Of the various
systems of ancient architecture, as Illus
trated by their ruins in glorious decay, oc-
cupied q considerable portion OF the eve
ming, and gave point to the didao:ic features
of the essay. At the close of his lecture
Major Gotthiel was congratulated by his
hearers in a manner that must have been
highly gratifying.

West to the East end of the building and back
again between those two rows of Tylers, and as
they passed along the swords were raised above
their heads
This occupied the time until half-past-two.
Our friend informed us that this was only the
installation of officers, and they were not half
through with them. That being the case, we
weakened and left.
As passed over the bridge, looked back and
thought that distance lent enchantment to the
smell if nothing else.
All the Chinamen ever knew in the county,
believe, were there, and thought overly anx-
ous to let me know it, for about every fifteen
minutes one of them would pass along, and
punching me in the ribs, calculate
"P Pooty good; you like him ?"

was spirited away over the mountains at the
rate of 2: l6, (Dexter's time) bringing up in the
same Lodge, and looking up, saw that same old
High Priest down on his knees. In being pre-
Sented to his majesty, | had to pass between
those rows of up-lifted sabres and drop upon
my knees just as the Cinnamon before had done.
AS they paced me back and forth under those
huge swords, l thought to myself "Jacinto

LETTER FROM CANON CITY.

CANON CITY, October Q, 1871.
DEAR JOURNAL Nothing having transpired
worthy of note for some time, I have been wait
ing, like McCawber, for something to turn up.
give'you what few items there are in the hope
they will be received with due consideration
Mr.. p. Slattery has taken contract to dig a
ditch some two miles in length from the little
East Fork of Canon Creek to Hykes Ill., for D.
McElduf, and intends to have it done by the
time water comes.
G. Danninbrink is getting very large lot OF
iron pipe to lay across Red Flat for hydraulic
purposes, and will have some two hundred and
fifty feet pressure. This claim is eighty or one
hundred feet in depth, and is good paying one
too. Mr.. Danninbrink purchased a water right
last season, paying 81 400 therefor, and with a
favorable season cannot fail to do well.
John A. Burger has finished slucng for the
season, and has so far taken out So 900 and has
not cleaned any bed rock. This claim Is from
twenty to sixty feet deep, and pays all over it,
Adam has worked this claim steady for sixteen
years, and has several years more work left
Next comes the claim of Sigmond Obermeyer
which is of the same character as Mr.. Burgers
Next the claims of Wilt & Potter; how they are
doing am unable to say, as they are still sluic-
ing. Still lower down Murphy & Matthewson
have found better prospects than they have had
for years.
The citizens OF Canon Greek deeply regret the
loss of our old friend and neighbor Linus Parker
who was well and most favoraby known among
us.

like bears. Mr. Guntz, of fremont, Illinois,
went to dance, but he had never learned TO
dance, and couldn't dance like the rest o. the
young people, so he went out into the woodshed
and blew his brains out. Ii thousands of others
were as sensitive as Mr.. Guntz there would be
fewer toes trodden on, and more comfort at balls

Since the result vi Governor Arn>'s
explorations in New Mexico was made
public there has been no discovery Ct
more interest TO the American arch
aoiog'st than the u alleged to have
been made recently in Iowa, on the
zine of the projected Dubuque and
Minnesota Railroad. The wOrkmen,
while engaged in excava,ing for the
road, in the limestone. at the foot o.. a
bluff. are said to- have come upon a
flat stone covered with strange char.
acters. This being removed. opened
the way into a passage about four
feet wide and six feet high, leading
directly into the heart of the bluff.
At the distance of about fifty feet fror,
the entrance another stone, similar to
the first, had to be removed, when a
large chamber revealed itsel', cut out
of the solid rock, about twenty-five
feet square and twenty tert high
The floor was hard end smooth, while
the walls and roof were c~arveL, in a
sort of rude base ~reiievo. with figures
OF birds, trees, stars, serpents and
chariors. The south wall was a,lorn-
ed "wirh a representation OF the Sun

OF a man IN the act of STEPPING Oh. of
