A Wonderful Meteor.

The magnificent meteor that passed
over New Zealand on the first of Janu-
airy, at half-past eight, was observed at
thirty PAGES. A scientific report con-
corning it, says it had general course
from about point West of North
through the zenith of Picton, over
which place it passed at less than thirty
miles altitude above the surface of the
earth, travelling with an apparent veloc-
ity of twelve miles per second. It's
form was that of a ball intensely
luminous, of reddish hue, with long,
very brilliant, tapering tail, the light of
which resembled burning magnesium
wire, by giving off red sparks. 1t com
pletely eclipsed the light of the moon,
which was shining brightly. The area
over which it had been seen has a
length of 700 miles, and width of 800.
The apparent diameter of the head was
10 mln., and the length of the tail
tapering about l deg
The prolonged defamation which fol
lowed the passage of the meteor does not
appear to have been heard at all the sta
tons, but chiefly at those in tie vicinity
of Cook Strait, where the path of the
meteor intersected New Zealand, all the
observers in the North Island having
seen it to the west, and those in the
South Island to the east When near
est to Wellington it must have been at
distance in direct line of ffty-five
miles, which agrees with the time, five
minutes, which elapsed when the report
was heard. This shows that the report
did not proceed from the final bursting
of the meteor, but proceeded from it
at the time it was nearest to the OBJ
server Indeed, from the length of the
path In which the meteor was seen. it's
sudden disappearance, as if by burst
ing, must have been an optical illusion
IN the case of all the northerlv OBJ
servers.

The Law Of Filtration.

The claw of fiirtation,' as recently
laid down by certain judges, is of ma
ture TO give pause to the frolcsome and
sentimental tendencies of the time.
Chief Justice Parker, of Massachusetts.
announces the opinion of the Supreme
Court of that State, that an engage
ment "may be produced by those cir
cumstances which usually accompany
such connection, and the Kentucky
Court OF Appeals has declared that the
mutuallty of an engagement may be

" by showing that he demeaned himself

A Singular Story from Kansas.

In Washington county, Kansas. re-
Gently, Johnson Hammond accidentally
shot his wife. While abed, his wife
aroused him, with the information that
there were wolves about. Hammond
arose, took his gun down from the Joists
above his head, and excitedly ran out,
carrying the gun III his left hand, butt
toward the door. He ran about half a
mile, when he saw wolf. and, in rails
ing his gun to fire at it, found it had
been discharged. Returning to the
house, he entered, and there stood
four of his children, crying, the
eldest of whom said: Papa papa
mammals dead" He, almost frantic,
rushed to the bedside, and found his
wife corpse, her right breast pierced
with bullet. His infant, who had
been sleeping beside the mother when
he left the house, was caressing her
dead body. 1t is supposed that when
Hammond rushed out at the door, the
lock or trigger of the gun caught on
the lamb and was discharged, the con-
tents lodging in the breast of the de-
ceased. Hammond swears he heard
no report of the discharge of the gun.
A coroner's jury acquitted him of all
blame.

A Yankee Dairy in Japan.

A correspondent of the San Francis
co Bulletin writes from Japan:
One Of the interesting features in
Yokohama is the dairy of an American
firm, who supplies most of the foreign
residents with milk, and occasionally
make few pounds of butter The
dairy occupies a space of about rs by
It's feet, with yard in the centre and
tiled buildings on two sides, which
contains some 35 cows. The entire
front of the buildings consist of slid
ing panels, which are removed in the
daytime, and the stock in detailment
are let out in the sunshine In the yard.
The stalls passage ways running in
the front and in the rear, thus admit
ting of examining and feeding the
animals without disturbance, and also
keeping them clean. The feed con
sists of native wheat grass equal to
middlings), boiled potatoes and Japa-
nese hay, the latter III Summer being
replaced by fresh grass cut on the ad-
joining hills and vallies by women.
The COWS are all American or English
stock, the most having been i'm orted
from San Francisco. The Japanese
take great interest in dairying, and
often visit the premises to examine and
take notes with view of initiating the
the establishment in the interior, where
they have quite quantity of foreign
cattle to breed IN place of the native
stock which is very inferior. The
Janese cattle are very diminutive.
averaging from 400 to 500 pounds live
weight, the COWS giving no milk for
dairy purpose, and the bulls are used
to limited extent as pack animals.

After the Storm.

Out from the skies there came cloud,
Out from the North chilling gale;
The black funeral shroud,
And the other sobbed like a funeral wSn.
Into nv heart came cankering care;
Into my soul terrible pain
Over my senses a dark despair,
And a horror, that palsied body aid brain.
Blscker gathered the ominous cloud;
Ohillier drove the threatening nd;
The air was heavy and deaf b end owed,
And ragged like giant, fury-blnd.
Twas in the budding season of spring,
But blossom or flower boomed not TO
The hue of despair was On every thing,
And bare were bush, and branch, and tres
But suddenly lifting my streaming eyes,
heavenly vision their cad search met
My Lost Loves Face beamed out of the skies,
In frame of sun-gIded glory set!
All, then transformed was the ominous cloud,
Into soft, white heeces, siver-lned,
Gone was the heavy funeral shroud,
And toned to zephyr the chilling Wind
And my heart shook off its cankering care,
And my soul was lifted away from Its pain, pair,
And my senses were loosed from the thrall of des-
And the horror, that palsied body and brain.
And the world seemed alight with perennial spring;
The air was fragrant with blossoms aud flowers,
And the birds, with their musical caroling,
Dropped songs from the skies in melodic showers
And so, oh, my Love is it euer with me!
1 mirror the earth through the light of thine eyes!
Are they cold? Only shadows and gloom do see.
Are they loving? All golden and bright are the
skies.
Come close to my heart, then, my beautiful Love
Thy dear face shall brighten the dreariest weather.
And gloomy or golden the skies above,
We will lovingly go through the world together
Lovingly share whatever fate
The good God shall choose to be queath to US here
And lovingly pass through the golden gate,
Where love will never more suffer from fear.

Grand Trunk Railway.

The improvements made on this line
the past year in the condition of it's
track and additions to it's passenger
equipment are such as to entitle it to a
large increase of travel this seasonal
large portion of the track has been re-
laid with steel rails, and forty new day
cars, and twenty of the celebrated Pull
man Palace, Sleeping and Drawing
room cars have been added to the pass
enger equipment. Parties going to
points in Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Massachusetts, can ride in
the Pullman cars the entire distance
from Chicago, by leaving on the p.
IN. train. The speed between Chicago
and eastern points has been increased,
and certainty of making connections
IS now feature of the line which the
public will appreciate. So rapidly has
the first-class travel increased by it
since the new improvements have been
completed that it is now contemplated
to run cars from Chicago to Boston,
without change, during the present
summer. A guide book giving full
description of the route has been issued,
which contains the rates at which Ex-
cursion and Tourists Tickets may be
purchased and the routes over which
they pass. These Guides may be had,
free of chG;-ye on application by letter
or In person, at Company's Agency,
80 Clark street, Chicago, or 400 East
Water, corner of Wisconsin streets,
Milwaukee, or at principal Offices in the
country. Those who have passed ovel
the Grand Trunk Railway in years past
will hardly recognize in it the same line
SO great have been the improvements
made, and those who can the most con
veniently reach points of destination by
it should at least give it trial. The
fare to Boston, and all New England
points being less by this than by Other
routes. Parties taking the route from
Milwaukee by Grand Haven and De
troit and Milwaukee Railroad, max,

Railway, which leaves Detroit at 6:3(
p. m. From Chicago by the Michigan
Central Railway there are three trains
daily ria Buffalo and two Uia Toronto
and Ogdensburg, running in connection
with this line. --EUening Wisconsin.

The Hall Arctic Expedition,

The Polaris is almost ready to sail,
and many of the stores for the voyage
are being placed on board. Capt Hall
is experimenting the arrangements in
person. A great deal of satisfaction is
expressed by those interested in the ex-
petition OF the thorough manner in
which all the preparations for the ex-
ploratiou have been made, which is
due to the liberal appropriation of
800, 600 made by Congress. The yes
sci sails from Washington, it is expect
ed by Capt. Hall, next Saturday, for
New-Y DIRK, and he intends to start on
his voyage from New York two weeks
later. The surgeon-naturalist who
takes the place in the company that
DR.. Walker resigned, is Dr. Emil Bes-
sells, of Heidelberg, Germany, who
went to Spitzbergen and Nova Zembla
with the Swedish Arctic expedition.
A young man from the observatory of
Ann Arbor, Mich, Will go as astron-
omer, and as meteorological an officer
from the Storm Signal Corps of the
War Department, it is understood,
will be detailed. This expedition
starts under better auspices, on account
Of more perfect equipment and advan
tages gained fnom past experience,
than any expedition for Arctic
exploration ever before fitted out, and
Capt. Hall and his associates are most
hopeful of achieving satisfactory re-
suits. Mr. Morton, who is third Off
Ger, and who is the only living explor-
er who ever saw the open Polar Sea,
has the utmost confidence that the
Polaris will find route by which to
enter it. Among the visitors to the
vessel to-day was senator Sumner, who
greatly interested in what he
saw A number of large planks for
sledges are among the things on
board. Capt. Hall says he has to have
the natives make his sledges, since
they can do it much better than white
men. A neat little cabin handsomely
carpeted is fitted up, and a cabinet
organ is now in it which a manufacture
er has presented, and which will be
taken along, If room can be spared,
for amusement in the long winter
nights. Capt. Hall will remain here
till the vessel starts for New York, and
then he Will proceed there by rail. He
has partially decided to give to the
public, before he starts from New
York, All account of the preparation
for the voyage and what he hopes to
accomplish, written by himself or with
his approval

young and old, hocked from far and
near to see him. "One young lady of
Brewster's Station, moving in Circles
in that refined community, came time
and again: and on the morning that he
was taken to prison she was there,
bright and early and parted from him
with many tears, and could not be con-
tented until she obtained his photo
