The Old South Church.

Boston is in ferment over the proposed
desecration of the Old South Church
which, by the way. has been vigorously
protested against by the New York Nation
and other journals not printed within
sight of Bunker Hill Monument. The
question came up in the Massachusetts
Legislature recently, and awakened flow
of eloquence that must have made The
typical Goldfish that hangs above the
Speakers desh wiggle with emotion. Mr.
Quincy, of Boston, opened the debate
with a quotation from Holmes Ole
Ironsides:"
Ayl tear her tattered ensign down;
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to sec
That banner in the sky.
Beneath it rung the battle shout
And burst the cannon's roar,
The eagle Of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more
The ring of which lines naturally inspir'
ed Mr.. Quincy to say of the Old South:
Oh better ad her sacred spire
Crashed down amid the flame;
The fame where freedom fire was lit
Fire had preserved from shame
Though rocking wall and blazing tower
Sunk in the burning tide,
an unsmirched memory had remained
For Boston's honest pride.

1t is stated by his personal friends that
on Wednesday next Secretary Delano will
leave for Cuba, ostensibly for his health,
but really to look after political matters on
that island, and see if something can not
be done to arrest the civil war now in pro-
gress there. 1t is also further stated that
his visit will be made at the particular re-
quest of the President, who is represented
as being very desirous of bringing about
peace between Spain and the revolutiona-

Another story of his proposed visit is as
follows:
Secretary Delano is to visit Cuba upon

been confined to his house much of the
time for the last month. His visit to Cuba
has no political significance whatever
He expects to be absent a month.

A Wonderful Phenomena.

| An Indian Agent at Flathead, Jocko
| Valley. Montana, writes to General Meyer,
of the Weather Bureau at Washington, of
a most beautiful and remarkable phe-
nomena witnessed by the writer and two
others whose signatures accompany the
| report The valleyin which the phenome-
| ma was observed is ten miles long and four
miles wide, lying on the Western slope of
| the Rocky Mountains, having general
direction near North and South in about
latitude 40, and bounded on the East and
West by lofty mountain ranges. The same
phenomena described below was seen on
four different days in the afternoon. The
writer says of it: ...t.s.
The phenomena, as witnessed, can not
better be described than as an electric
cloud which, upon its appearance, Nov.
Is, gave the prairie in that particular
locality. covered at the time with snow to
the depth of four or five inches, all the
appearance of being on fire-fames leaping
from point to point, leaving, as they swept
along, an apparently charred surface while
at the same time, in the background,
might be seen what appeared to the eye
like o large sheet of water, ready to
ONoTWnelm anu eAlInSulSu Tue raging lire
in front.
At times this cloud or atmospheric
volume was SO palpable at the distance of
from two to four miles, with an entirely
unobstructed view between, that it really
seemed tangible and to invite us to an
inspection by closer approach, which one
of our party suggested; at other times be-
coming more Opaque and active; by very
slight stretch of the imagination countless
heads of horses or buffalo 1--WE are hundreds
of miles west of the buffalo country might
be seen coursing down the valley about to
precipitate themselves, as it were, upon
us.
Again, "presto," and sheets of water
would seem to be rolling toward us, angry
as the proud waves of ocean at the feet of
old Canute, and recede again, leaving
nothing but the scintillations Of the atmos-
phere, best described by stove side view
from the interior of thoroughly heated
room, with a cold atmosphere on the out
side, upon which the eyesight falling sees
i'm the vacuum countless crowding waves
of heated air, which by their varying un-
dulations, show the whole body of the in
ner atmosphere to be in active motion at
the time.
1t could be distinctly seen pouring into
the valley through a gorge in the noun
tain range on the west side, about four
miles from where we stood, in a south
westerly direction, thence spreading
northerly to our right along the western
boundary, close to the earth, and follow-
ing the direction of large creek, solidly
frozen at the time, and which runs the
length of the valley from southeast to
northwest, hugging it closely, and finally
disappearing in the deep twilight of a
November evening.
The cold during those four days was ex-
cessive, the thermometer at or below zero
nearly all the time, though no accurate OBJ
servations were taken. With the modera-
ton of Temperature, which occurred to-day,
the surrounding elements seem to have
resumed their usual quietude, and all indi-
cations of the phenomena are at an end.
