Cento Verses.

\ very interesting poeiical amusement.
and one much practiced by the ancents.
was the construction ef cento verses. The
word cento. means n garment. made of
many pieces of different kinds. 4 cenio
verse i wholly composed of lines promis-
cously taken from other poems. and ar
ranged in a new form. so a. 10 give them
meaning entirely different from the original
one. The thoughts thus brought together
should have a certain appropriations. ~
well a. the requisite rhyme and metre
i'Ais Kind of composition does not require
the divine aillatus OF the genuine poet All
that l. necessary. i some familiarity with
various kinds of poetry. and a ready and
accurate memory. A. a stimulus TO the

but from the very inefficient n
in which the subject was brought be-

futile. The suggestion of your CORES

TERRIBLE FIRE-LOss OF LIFE

\ dispatch from Elko, March 18th,
says:
About S o'clock this morning the
Nerandah Hotel in this town,
owned and occupied by Mrs. William
| Mae, was discovered to be on fire.
The alarm vas promptly given, and
in a few minutes willing hands Were
in operation trying to save the Struc-
tUre; but owing to the scarcity of
water and the building being of in
flammable material, it had gained
such headway that it was evident that
further efforts would be useless to
save it: in fact, the flames spread with
such rapidity that Mrs. Wing, i'll
whose room the fire originated, was
burned i'll trying to rcScue her two
children. The fire caught from some
clothes hung near the vicinity of the
stove, which communicated TO the
crib of the child, and thence to the
building. Mrs. Wings youngest child
was burned terribly, and but little
hopes are entertained of its recovery;
the eldest child escaped with slight
burns. Too much praise can not be
gwen to Mr.. Robert Hamilton, the
Western Union operator. who went
into the burning building and rescued
the children. The other boarders
escaped with their lives, but some
without their clothing. The fire
communicated with Mr.. Kratiger's
lodginG-house and several other build
ings, which were entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Kratiger saved all his furniture
and bedding. Mrs. Macs loss is heavy,
nothing of any consequence being
saved; no insurance. For time the
Cosmopolitan Hotel was in great dan
ger, but owing to the morning being
calm and the eXertions of the citizens
it was saved. Mrs. Mac, who by this
disaster has lost all, has the entire
sympathy of the community. The
citizens of Elko have promptly made
up a generous purse to relieve present
necessities.

"AN ERRONEOUS BELIEF. "-Our
friend of the Reno Crescent publishes
y very learned and interesting disser-
tation on s~ubterraneous waters and
streams, but after giving it an atten-
tive perusal we are unable to perceive
spy reason for changing u opinions
on the subject. That a large portion
of the waters of these inland lakes or
''ponds" are e~vaporated in the air and
earth is true, but that all of these wat
ers are thus consumed or dissipated
will scarcely be believed by those who
have witnessed immense bodies of
water flowing in rivers out of the
hasaItic banks of the Colorado on the
South, or the Snake river on the
North. The sources of these '.Lost"
rivers are unknown, but taken i'll con-
nection with the geologic characters
tres of the interior from which they
fow. their origin can be easily COM
pretended.

FRANCE STILL IN TROUBLE.

1 France appears to be rushing from
one misfortune to another. Not con-
tent with the Affections which n war
has brought upon the nation, it has
adopted a course which is likely to
bring about another occupation of the
country by the German troops. Paris
is i'm Il state of instruction, and the IN
surgents appear to he gaining strength
as well as ground. 1t is an omen of
evil that the new Government should
be thus early confronted with an OPP
position i'm arms against its authority.
If Il Republican Government, cOnsti-
tuted as this is, with the ablest and
staunchest Republican material of
France, is unable to restore tranquil
ty and preserve order, there is but lit
tie hope for a Republic of any kind.
At this moment, above all others,
France needs a Government which
can command respect and inspire con-
fidence. If the present Government
does not speedily show its ability 10
preserve its supremacy, and to execute
the guarantees which it has made Ivy
treaty with Germany, Paris will like
ly be reoccupied by the German
forces. This would be the browning
calamity of France and of the Repub-
lie. The insurgents may be playing
for this thing. The interests of the
Legitimate SITS. of the Orleanists, and a
hundred diverse and conflicting fac
tons among the revolutionary red Re-
publicans, depend upon the failure of
the present Government; but if the
German troops return to Paris, or even
continue long to occupy Northern
France, the Republican experiment
will end with the beginning. \ Louis
Napoleon, al Orleanist, or Il Bourbon,
will soon supersede the Republic.
Germany has too much at stake to
permit the abandonment of France to
the misfortunes and uncertainties OF
continued revolutions, alternately
lHTON Ing 10 the surface transient au-
ministrations acknowledging no obi
cations of their predecessors. Ger
many now has as much interest in the
maintenance OF 4 permanent Govern
ment in France as France itself has.
There is nothing in the policy hereto
fore indicated by Bismarck which
would lead us to infer a disposition to
endanger the acquisitions made bythis
gigantic war by leaving treaty obliga-
tons to the tiightv giddiness of 4 tur-
bulent Paris mob. If the present Gov
eminent cannot maintain order, Ger
many will put a Government: there
which willard that Government will
not be a Republic.

SUMNER AND THE REPUBLICAN POL
ITlClANS,

+, another place we give some ex.
tracts from many of the leading jour
nais of the country respecting the re-
Tnoval of Senator Sumner from tine
Committee OH Foreign Relations. The
opinion expressed is very one-sided.
I; i generally strongly against the
Senate majority and favorable to the
senator. Here and there some Execu-
tive sycophant endorses the removal,
but'they are remarkably few.
This change was made by the small
men of the Senate. Nearly all of those
Senators whose talents and services
Iiaye given acolor of responsibility to
the Senate, opposed the change; while
81 the other hand we find the names
uf the most insignificant, mercenary,
and otherwise contemplate members
.f that body among the champions for
the deposition. ofthe man, to whom, as
one of the Senators observed, a ma
ior:ty of those Senators W their pres
e,t positions more than to any person
on earth. 1t was IA remarkable spec
s%t.etos zee that Senator struck down.
as Carl Schurz remarked, shy men of
his own party, in the same sea he oc-
cupied, when assaulted by Il Southern
ra.fian and where he had shed his
blood for the liberation of the slave"
struck down, too, by such men as
Ssewart, Scott, Aines, Foreman, Caid-
well. Brownlow, Pool, Harlan, Fiana-
gan, and a herd of similar insignifi-
cant incapables and demagogues-one
rOrtiOn distinguished only for notori-
COS cOrTuptiOn-the other distln-
guished for nothing at all. Sumner
has devoted his life to a cause which
has brought forward and advanced
II high places this paltry refuse of
political chicanery and corruption
which now collects and creeps around
the Senatorial seats once honored by
tho presence of statesmen and honest
men. Senator Sumner has done much
to bring this brood of political maggots
into the presence of the country, and
II is nothing new in the history of
mon and things to see these political
reptiles creep around and sting their
creator and preserver. That is an old
leaf from the chapter of political graft
tude.
Trumbull, too, has been removed
from one of the most important com.
tuittees of the senate. His .judicia.
Constructions were no more satisfac.
DRY to the Administration than "the
personal relations of the Senator
from Massachusetts,. 1t is possible
that the political relations of the
&ase of Illinois, after the next election
may not be more satisfactory to this
Administration than that of New
Hampshire.
