CLARK MOUNTAIN. NEvADA.-On the
eastern slope of Clark Mountain. Nevada,
near It's summit, there is u peculiar cliff ESQ
feet high. At about 100 feet from the base
ct the cliff on its front are engrayen the
characters d. The cross and letters
are Of immense size, being fully sixty feet
In height and cut into the cliff two and a
half feet dcep-so that they can plainly be
seen nj distance OF five miles. BY whom
this strange workmanship was done is un.
known. The fact, however. that the letters
are Roman characters, and are preceded by
the figure of cross, would make it appear
that 1t was done by The Jesuit missionaries,
who were known to be in that region many
years ago. The Indians know nothing OF
It's authors, nor have they any traditions
concerning its origin.

A QUEER MIsTAKE.-At GUM

| "a SOtbh MlSiAhE.-AI Ctul1
fcy, Ill. one. day, a lady got or
board the cars, bearing in bel
arms handsome little child about
four months old, tastefully dressed
in white, for which she manifested
the deepest affection. When the
train reached Shelbina another la
dy got on board, holding in heI
arms a four-months' old child, the
exact counterpart of the one first
mentioned, and dressed in precise
ly the same way, and took heI
seat directly in front of the first
passenger. Just after the train
was in motion both ladies had oc.
casion to get up and pass through
the car, and each one deposited
her baby carefully on the seat.
On retiring each one mistook her
seat, and, strange to relate. made
mistake in the babies. No, l
carefully lifted in her arms the ba-
by Of No. 2. No. 2. caressed most
fondly the little cherub belonging
to No. /. For twenty-one miles the
two mothers rode on the train,
each nursing the others child for
her own. On reaching Macon the
Shelbina lady started out of the
cars, and was on the point of
stepping on the platform with the
other fady's Infant in her arms,
when the conductor, who had no
ticed the involuntary exchan &c,
called her attention to the fact.
She was, Of course. greatly sur
prised, and could scarcely believe
it possible; but on returning to
the car and comparing notes, as
well babies with the other lady,
the mistake was discovered and
promptly rectified, Each lady
pressed closer to her breast the
little cherub she had come SO near
losing, and after a profusion of ex-
plantations and apologies, which
were only terminated by the ring
ing of the bell, they separated,
and each went on her way rejoic-
ing.

Severe Hail Storm,

| On Sunday night last, occur
red a storm in this parish that
has had few equals in severity.
1t was ushered in by continu-
Gus lightning, and q roar as of
hundreds ofsmall cannon. One
could have read with ease by
the light of the lightning, so
continuous was it. : After a few
minutes preparation, it burst on
us in a torrent of rain that has
rendered our creeks and bayous
impossible for several days.
The centre Of the storm seems
to have been at a point some
four miles southwest of Belle
we. There, clouds from two
directions seem to have met.
and within aspace of some four
miles in length by two in
breadth, the effects have been
disastrous. There, hail and
wind accompanied the rain.
Our readers may judge of the
quantity of hail that fell from
the fact that, although so much
rain fell with it, yet, where it
had drifted in piles, much of it
could have been Picked.up three
days afterit fell. The wind was
severe enough to PROSTATE
great tracts of forest, and by it
and the hail hundreds of acres
of corn and cotton have been
utterly ruined. The principal
planters who have suffered
much are David Plat, john T. |
Afford, n. f. McDade, Daniel
Hickman. E. K. Russ and T. |
and g. Berry. A dozen others
have been injured greatly.
Many fields are abandoned.
Others again will be planted |
over i'm corn, peas and cotton
The lower road to Shreveport
has been rendered impossible
to vehicles, and it is estimated |
that the road hands will have
to work as much as five DAYS
to clear it out properly.
This was not strictly a lufri-
cane, and IT,, great effect of
the wind il prostrating trees
was due TO the fact that the
ground has been so thoroughly
wet during the whole month
of May, that they were easily
turned mp by the roots. We
hear Of no houses blown down
nor loss of human life. On Mr..
Russ's place a horse and a
mule were killed by falling
trees.
Hail storms are universally /
small in area and it is well
that it is so, for what is more
destructive to the labors Of the

A GOOD Observation-Disclosures
the Great set an excellent exam
pie for those bigots who think
there is no goodness outside OF
their own church or creed, which
eliminates now and then in such
disgraceful exhibitions as that one
in New York where the minister
Sabine refused to read the burial
service over the actor Holland,
and which has immortalized esthe
little church around the corner.n
When Frederick the Great vas
memoralized to expatriate the phi
losopher Woeff, on account of his
not being orthodox in his creed,
the king returned the memorial
with this endorsement: eff said
Woeff lives according to my laws,
he can remain in my kingdom. If
as it is alleged, he takes upon
himself to quarrel with the Lord,
| cannot interfere. The Lord is
able to settle all his quarrels with
out any interference by poor
mortal like myself"
