The FAR WEsr-ITs SILVER AND Snow.
An interesting and important expedition
has recently been made to the American
Fork and Little Cottonwood silver districts,
Of Utah Territory, by a party headed by
Prof Paul 4. Chadbourne, the well known
scientist of Massachusetts, The party
started from Salt Lake City and proceeded
to the mines in the decidedly overland
way of climbing over the mountains. In
both districts the indications were found to
be Of a very promising character. and aP-
parently went clearly TO show that, not
withstanding its natural tendency to draw
the long bow the West has really a vast
source of wealth in its possessions of the
precious metal All the head Of the Little
Cottonwood canon, the Christina lode,
which was only discovered last year, was
found to be yielding large quantities ofore,
which, when assayed, showed from S40O to
$500 to the tor. Other lodes were OF an
equally satisfactory character. The roads
were nearly ali in good condition team
WAYS for the conveyance of the ore we're
in the course of rapid construction, and on
every hand the utmost confidence and en-
terprise were manifested. Among the ex-
citing experience ef the trip, vas the
passage from American Fork canon over
the divide of Little Cottonwood. The as
cent of the mountain proved to be a task
both slow and difficult. but when the gen.
tlemen came to descend on the other side,
they found that quite different state of
affairs was before them. Snow-capped
hills ard peaks were above and around
them below them was the yawning gorge
of the canon ; under their feet was thirty
feet of snow, hard and slippery. This IN
comfortable pathway was the only one that
was within the range Of possibility, and 1t
extended without break down a steep
declivitv of fifteen hundred feet. To walk
it was necessarily cut Of the question.
Nothing short of chamois coud have
made the attempt. A 'coasting sled would
have been worth q small fortune but it
was not 10 be had. and SO. after some little
hesitation and earnest consultation, the
gallant explorers sat brayely upon the
smooth slope and, with a velocity that al
most took away their breath, shot down the
canon as if sent from q catapult. The SEN
sation, like that of going up in balloon 20
a novice, Is said to have been much more
pleasant in retrospect than in experience.

How nor TO BE BEAUTIFUL.-A vacant
mind takes all the meaning out Of the fair
est face. A sensual disposition detorms
the handsomest features. \ cold, selfish
heart shrivels and distorts the best looks.
\ mean. groveIing spirit takes all the
character out Of the countenance. A
cherished hatred transforms the most beau
tiful hneaments into an image OF ugliness.
1t Is as impossible to preserve good looks
with brood Of bad passions feeding on
the blood, a set of low loves tramplng
through the heart, and 4 selfish, disdaintul
spirit enthroned in the will, as to preserve
the beauty of an elegant mansion with
litter Of swine at the basement 4 tribe of
cvpsies in the parlor, and owls and vultures
in the upper part Badness and beauty
will no more keep company great while,
than poison will consort with health, Or an
elegant carving survive the furnace fire.
The experiment of putting them together
has been tried successfully for thousands
of years but with one unvarying result.
Stand on one Of the crowded streets, and
note the passers by, and any one can see
how a vacant mind has made vacant eye,
how a thoughtless, aimless mind has robbed
the features of expression; how vanity has
made everything about its victim petty
how frivolity has faded the luster of the
countenance how baby thoughts have
made baby faces how pride has cut dis
dain into the features and made the face
chronic sneer; how selfshness has shriyel-
ed. and wrinkled, and withered up the
personality; how hatred has deformed and
demonized those who yielded to its power
how every bad passion has turned tell-tale
and published It's disgraceful story in the
lines of the face and the look of the eye;
how the old man who has given himselfup
to every sort of wickedness, is branded all
over with deformity and repulsiveness,-
and he will have new idea Of what re-
tribution Is. This may not be all, but it
is terrible-this transformation of face
once full of hope and loveliness, into de-
formity and responsiveness then the rose
blushing on its stalk. now ashes and

with the hopes of the absent pastor, to
preach it instead Of his own The people
were much delegated, add@not'a little sur
prised, to get such food from the young
minister, who leaving the sermon where he
found IT, went his way, to return, as he
supposed. and take another from the same
pile the next Sabbath. Alas as Seotland's
Burns bemoans, so did it beiall our young
Scotlander, who being sick. was in his turn
obliged to procure a substitute, to whom he
forgot to mention the three sermons. They,
however, attracted the eye and won the
careful perusaI of the second supply, who,
unconsciously acquiescing in the wise judg-
ment of his predecessor, announced to an
appreciative audience the text, Jacob was
a plain man, dwelling in tents Quite
pleased with the sensation which he per-
ceived be had made, the young man re-
placed the sermon and departed. Yet

do know what intense growing pains are in
the higher and highest nature. They
know what it is TO be pained in conscience,
when 1t is trying to unshackle itself, and
rise above the low standards of expediency
and mere social tests and measures, when
it IS struggling to tie up its crooked
nature to the strong, straight, unyielding
stake driven down at its side by hand
from heaven. They know what it IS to be
panied in the will, when that will goes forth
to execute the higher law, at the time when
all the senses and the lower sentiments
commanding public opinion in the soul cry
out against the fanatical and visionary
will, and when that will is mobbed and
haunted BY ali the sensuaities of the
lower man.
They know what it is to have pains in
the heart, when the hearts affection grow

fiat upon the earth, they undertake to tear
away those sensitive tenirils, to lift up the
sttfened form of the vine. and command it
to grow upon the frame which leads up

into the purer atmosphere and light of
heaven, where it can blossom, send forth
its scent OF praise, and fulfil its conditions

There are those who know quite well
that during all this growing season into
higher conditions and higher promises,
there are pains and perturbations, and they
know it is all quite right.
If there were nothing but sweet de-
lights and comfortable experiences on the
way upward, who could know bat that We
were going upward merely for the pleasur-

prevent all this, for no man Will 20 through

FEArHERs or MoTHs AND BUTTERFLIES.
4 certain order Of insects, which includes
moths and butterflies, have received the
name Of Lepidoptera, from the peculiar
construction of their wings. These men,
bers are covered with a fine dust, reSplen-
dent with the most brilliant colors,
adorning their variegatcd surface. When
this dust is examined by the microscope, it
Is discovered to consist 0f vast number
of minute feathers or scales, differing in
form. and as remarkable for the elegance
and symmetry Of their structure as for the
beauty Of their hueS. Their shape not
only varies in different insects, but the
same insect possesses feathers OF different
forms. Some are long and slender; others
short and broad these are smooth at the
edges, and those >errated or notched, one
kiud Is triangular, and q second oval.
When viewed under the microscope, these
scales are found to be terminated by a
short stem, that connects them with the
wing, and their surfaces are grooved in
lines and stripes. which take different dl-
rectioRs in different scales. In some
feathers, two or more sets Of lines are dis
cerned crossing each other. When this
feathery dust is brushed away from the
wing OF butterfly, the surface below ap
pears like the wing of the Hemerobius-a
network of ribs. connected by delicate,
transparent. aud elastic membrane.
The ribs are hollow, by which contriv-
ance a wing. though broad and extended,
still retains its lightncss, and on the mem
brane rows Of dots are perceived, where
the stems of the scales were attached to its
surface On those parts where the dust
remains, the little PARTICLES are seen mag
niied into feathers. svmmctricaliy arrang-
ed aud overlapping each other like the
scales on a fish. The scales on the wings
Of an insect termed the Lep;sma Saccha-
rina are Of two kinds-one set, being ar
ranged as usual in rows, and the other
possessing different shape, are inserted
between and over the former, fastening
them firmly down in their places. In
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1871-08-23

some cases. the scales ARE distributed over
the membrane without apparently any reg
ular arrangement. The color of the upper
surfaee of the wiRg cf the Morpho Meme
laus is of pale blue tiEt, mingled with
others that are almost black. The former
are, for the most part, wider than the lat
ter, and measure nearly the one hundred
and twentieth part of an inch in length.
Beneath the microscope, the entire surface
is seen huted with lines which run length
wise Of the scale, and are connected to-
gether by short cross-lines passing between
them. Scales of very singular form are
found on the under side Of the wing Of the
beautiful blue butterfly, called the Lyceua
Argus. la shape, they resemble a battle
dore, with strings Of beads running length
wise over the surface, parallel to each
other The feathers upon the wing of an
insect are exceedingly numerous, for ac-
cordIng 70 Leuwenhoeck, each wing of the
moth OF the sikworm contains more than
two hundred THOUSAND, and the wing ofthis
insect Is small compared with that Of many
other moths, for one OF the largest-the
Atlas moth-measures nearly a foot across
the wings The feathery scales of the
Death moth are deeply serrated.
This insect receives It's name from the cir
cumstance that it bears upon the surface of
its thoraX a large gray OF yellowlsh spot,
which strongly res nbies in form the front
view of human skull or Deaths head.
The rich hues Of the scales of the Iepd-
optera are supposed in general TO be due
10 the presence Of cO.oring matter, but the

No MORE JAcoBs.-A good story about
sermons Is told by John Miller Ross.
formerly of Edinburgh, now pastorof Chal-
mers' Presbyterian Church, Manchester,
England The pastor of a large Edinburgh
church, being Unexpectedly called away
for three Sabbaths, was unable to do better
than engage, as his supply, young stu
dent from the University. knowing the
high standard of his people, and fearing
the weakness of the student, he told him
that he had laid upon his study table three
of his own earlier sermons, never preached
to that people, and that he was welcome to
make any use of them he pleased
On the first Sabbath morning the young
minister looked the sermons over, and being
much delighted with one on the text,

The man who started the memorable
Sanitary flour sack has lately died in San
Francisco. This most extraordinary sack
well deserves a place in all histories of the
war, if only to show how a trifiDg whim
may have an important place in great
crisis. \ bag of -four which had figured
in an election bet, was sold by auction in
every town in the Pacific States, for the
benefit of the Sanitary Commission, every
purchaser giving it back again to continue
its travels, and rough miners paying hun
dreds of gold dollars for a minutes owner
ship of this sack, who would not have given
q cent to the most eloquent bearer Of
subscription paper. 1t is impossible to
conceive of anything more childish, but
being all children of larger growth the
Californians and Nevadians heaped hun
dreGs of thousands of dollars upon this
silly symbol. When the bag reached St.
Louis, its contents furnished material for
host of little cakes for which the bearded
boys of Missouri paid extravagant prices
in aid of the same great object.

An Excellent Idea.


We understand that an invitation has been
extended to the Executive Committee OF tne
Taxpayers' Convention, which committee Is
now in session in Columbia, to hold an ad-I
iourned meeting in this city, where the Tax
PAYERS Convention originated, and where
the Executive Committee would have luil
opportunity OF consulting with leading
merchants and lawyers who cannot, at this
season, visit the capital. The use OF the
rooms of the Chamber OF Commerce has, we
believe, been offered, with. characteristic
courtesy, to the members Of the committee
and we can assure them, in advance, OF
hearty welcome, and the earnest cooperation
lof or people in any practicable plan lof
campaign against the public enemy. Judge
Aldrich, Of Barnwell, one OF the members OF
the committee, has been requested to deliver
an address, b. before the Chamber Of Com
.merce, upon the engrossing question OF the
day, and we hope that Charleston will have
the benefit OF hearing, from his own lips,
his sagacious and patriotic counsel Than
Judge Aldrich no man has given more
thought and care to the finding OF remedy
for the pressing evils OF debt and taxation,
and we are satisfied that his presence would
tend to consolidate public sentiment, and
give r,s what we most need-Unity OF Pur-.
