The Barge Yosemite, which during Il brief
season last year, contributed so much TO the
pleasure and recreation of the inhabitants of
the kennebec valley, is riding out the winter
at anchor in quiet bend of the estuary that
unites the waters of the Kennebec and Booth
bay harbor, few miles from Bath. She will
be thoroughly fitted and placed on the river
the coming summer as soon as the approach
ing warm weather will permit, and will make
regular trips twice week between Augusta
and the mouth of the river and Boothbay.
Rev. S. Gushing of Boston, is at present
in the city, in the interests of the American
Popular Life Insurance Company, the advan-
tages of which have already been set forth in
these columns. The plan on which this COM
pany is operated seems to the difficulties
that arise in most companies where the short
and the long lived are classed together. In
this company equals are classed with equals,
and persons of high longevity do not have to
pay losses occasioned by the death of the
short-lived.

Cambridge Observatory.

among the many curious inventions
existing beneath the dome of the Cam
bridge Observatory, there is a machine
which IS used to delineate upon glass
the figure of circle or square, byl
means of finely-drawn lines. This
machine, which is the invention of Mr..
Rogers, who is connected with the OBJ
seryatory, is very simple in its opera
alton, and draws each line with an
accuracy which is very surprising on
account of the complete exclusion OF
the microscopic glass. Consequently,
those lines which requires microscope
to distinguish them are drawn with the
eye unaided.
This IS done by means of graduated
plate of metal, which acts upon very
sharply and very finely pointed needle,
so that it may be set at any distance
from a line already drawn. By actual
trial the skillful inventor drew upon 9
small piece of glass twenty four lines.
separated by a distance of 24Oth of an
inch, in about a minutes time. These
wonderful lines could be easily counted
through a microscope, but viewed with
the naked eye they formed single, but
somewhat imperceptible line. It was
nearly impossible to imagine the ex,
ceedingly minute distance which sep
arated them. Parallel lines had been
drawn upon other plates of glass, which,
though apparently single, were found,
when placed beneath the microscope,
each to be composed of several distinct
lines. A circle, also, which was about
a quarter OF an inch in diameter, con-
tanned sixteen hundred lines. The
light was very beautifully reflected
| from their minute sides. and the circle
glistened and sparkled with all the
colors of the rainbow.
Upon one plate of glass had beer
traced circles within circles, the lines
of which they were composed being
scarcely discernible, but when perceiv-
ed through the microscope each line
assumed a perfect precision, and the
delicate symmetry of each circle came
out in exquisite relief The extremely
minute space in which this immense
number of circular lines was contained
appeared to be very wonderful There
were many ether drawings which were
equally astonishing, and which showed
equally well the fine skill of Mr.. Rog.
ers. 1t was curious to find among the
great instruments of the observatory
which sweep every portion of theaheav
ems, and travel along the great equato
rial circle, this little machine capable
of producing lines which hid them
selves in their minuteness from the I'M
aided eye of the observer. Boston

A Novel Event in England.

A death lately occurred in Brighton,
England, of character heretofore I'M
known in English soil. A very wealthy
merchant, during his many mercantile
expeditions, visited Malabar, where he
fell in love with native woman, and
married her in the presence of the Brit
ish Consul. At the end of six months
he took his wife to England, and into
his home at Brighton, but she refused
most persistently to be converted to
the English Church. At length her
husband died. The widow appeared to
suffer the most intense agony Of soul.
She looked upon the lifeless corpse,
threw herself upon the lifeless form Of
her husband with a terrible frenzy of
despair. She wrenched ont her hair,
tore her clothes, and disfgured her
beautiful features with her nails. At
length she disappeared. After three
DAYS unsuccessful search for her they
found a heap of ashes still smoking,
ana smell Of burned flesh, in chapel
he had erected. This is probably the
only incident of the kind that ever hap
pened in England.

And, skimming lands rich with all tropic
bloom,

And next pierce with my shrill voice the

That lies in Rome round English shelley's

Sometimes stop in some dull fishing town;
see the fishers with their boats by day,
Mending their nets and sails, and watch the
brown,
Barefooted children on the sands at play,
Laughing and singing by the fishing bay.
Then [ fly farther inland, where the hills
Through autumn rains CLEAN barren and
forlorn,
Where fun streams rush to turn the noisy
mills,
And gay girls hurry through the cool, wet
To drive the cows, or pick the ripe, hard

The frost lies cold on many northern field
Whose scanty fruits were gathered long ago
The harvests that the sterile northands yield
Are safely housed from drifting winds and

And tie locked streams no more with music

So to lands of summer, singing, stray;

As YEARLY | wing my long, strange way,
Led by strong scents of spicy gums and
wine,
To Mignon's land of citron-a flower and vine
Then leap up with one tumultuous shout
Of glee, defiant silvery and strong
The ripping laughter trickles all about,
The way is upward and the path is long,
And the whole heaven is trembling with my
song.
Into soft depths of sn-w-white clouds [ dart
Then all at once the tinted sky grows gray
strange, faint numbness gathers round my
heart;
A sudden cloud must have obscured the
day
And, bird and sick, drift away-awayl

An Unfortunate Family.

From the Fond du Lac journal of tuesday,
Mr.. Michael Scannen is a worthy
c1tlzen OF this county, being a resident
OF Osceola. He is farmer in good
c!rcum stances, with the single exeep-
ton of being, probably, one of the
most unfortunate men living.
Some years ago daughter died
from cancer. Since then one of his
boys broke an arm-about three years
slnce-and the same summer another
boy died in attempting 20 swallow a
button. And now to cap the climax.
Yesterday morning four of his bows
were hauling manure. While they
were all mounted upon a load one Of
the end-boards fell out, frightening the
team so that they ian away. The
young men were all thrown out, one
had leg broken, another his arm bro
ken, another severely injured in the
back, and one escaped unhurt.
Mr.. Scannell is certainly entitled to
the sympathies of the community. His
case is an extraordinary one.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common

We refer to Dr.. j. WALKER s CALIFoR-

is making it's way into more families
Just now than all the other advertised

ty, as far as we can judge, is not based
on empty pretention. There seems to
be no question about the potency OF its
tonic and Alternative properties, while it
possesses the great neg ative recommend
alton of containing neither alcohol nor
mineral poison. That it is specific for
Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, and
many complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know and we are assured ON good
authority that as general iuvgOrant, regu-
latinG and purifying medicine, it has no equal
1t is stated that its ingredients. obtained
from the wilds of California are new to the
