A TRIP TO SATURN.-We at length saw
the true face Of Saturn. And what surface
For land and water we saw glowing rock and
molten lava. Vast seas of fire. tossed by ftl-
rious gales, whose breath was flame, corus-
Gated with a thousand colors as their cond-
ton underwent continual change. Then over
a wide extent of those oceans the intense lus-
tire would die out, to be replaced by dull, al
most icnperceptible glow, where the surface
of the fiery ocean was changing into crust
of redhot rock. But then came fresh distur-
bance: the crust broke In a thousand places,
showing the intensely hot sea beneath.
Fragments ofred hot rock, many miles in ex-
tent, were tossed hither and thither by the
raging sea. Nor were these the only evil
dences of an intense energy. For from time
to time the rush ofthe hurricane which ragged
over the molten ocean was hushed into COM
parative stiffness as volcanic explosions took
place, the least of which seemed competent
to destroy world. Enormous volumes of
steam and of other imprisoned gases were
flung upwards with irresistible force, burst
ing their way through the overhanging cano-
py of clouds and passing to heights where
from our present standpoint they were wholly
lost to view. We should have wished, per-
haps, under other circumstances to extend
our survey over the rest of Saturn's surface;
though from what we had witnessed, we felt
well assured that the whole planet is scene
of turmoil and confusion resembling that
now before us. At the poles, indeed, there
is an approach of quiescence, and it would
even appear that before many ages are past
the polar Saturnian regions may be fit to be
the abode of living creatures. On the other
hand, the equatorial zone of Saturn seems to
be in state of abnormal activity ;and though
this may be in great part due to the intensity
of the subterranean forces at work here, and
| to their partial relief from the action of grav
| ity, yet it seems chiefly to be occasioned by
the continual downpour of cometic and me-
| teoric matter over this zone. Even during
| ing our short stay, the dense atmosphere
| around and above us was aroused more than
| once into tremendous whirlwinds by the ar
rival of enormous masses of matter from with
out But though local peculiarities of this
sort exist, yet in general sense, 1t may be
said that the whole bulk of Saturn is instinct
with fiery energy, rendering it almost insult
ed to the abode of living creatures resembling
any existence on the earth. If creatures of
another kind exist there, we could recognize
no sign of their presence II there are intel
hgent beings there, their intelligence is not
such as human intelligence can communicate
with. We agree that, so far as the evidence
before us went-and as have told you our
powers OF perception were lmited-Saturn,
IKE the sun, is altogether uninhabited. IL s

form of vital energy exists there, nor are any

send him to the Marine Hospital. when mal
chanic named Whitley, living on Woodhr,dge
street East, came along He ascertained that
"Hank' had about seventy dollars with him.
and offered to take him to his house and care
for him at the rate of S4 per week. CLAY con-
sented to go, and was taken off in an express
wagon. He was i'll for about two weeks and
received three or four visits from a doctor,
but at length was pronounced all right. If
one were writing dime novel it would be
proper to say that Hank Clay and Mrs. Whit
icy loved at flrst sight, and perhaps they did.
AT any rate they got up an affection for each
other, and last Thursday evening looked at
one another so loving across the supper table
that the husband rose up in his wrath, and
ne told Henry Clay to go out into the wide
world and never darken his door again. Hem
ry Clay went. He didn't utter war whoop,
draw tomahawk or execute any scalp dance
on the door step, but he got under his hat
and got over the threshold.
Saturday evening last Mr.. Whitley came
nome dreaming OF cheerful fire and a pan
ful OF snow apples, and he found the house
dark and lonesome. He called to Virginia.;
several times, but only the mournful yowl of
a cat on the line fence answered his calls. He
soon ascertained that the wife had packed her
outfit into two valises, and that she and Hem
ry Clay had been seen at the Detroit and Mil
waukee depot waiting for the train to bear
them towards the setting sun. He rushed
down there, but the train was rolling on, and
MS oalhs and exclamatio:.s only collected a
leering crowd. The wronged husband had
lows: W. -O
wife is running away with a cussed Iudi-
an! be at the depot with officer and catch
her. Kill the Indian and lock up Virginia tin
come" VIII
Whether the pair were caught or not has
not yet been ascertained, but Whitley sold a
watch and some jewelry to get money to take
the train, and he'll have Henry Clay's scalp if
the stamps hold out.

A QUESTION FOR GRAMMARIANs.-The
Hudson Register deals humorously with a
question of grammar as follows:
"a searcher after truths writes to ask
which is dramatically correct, to saw the
house is building or the house is being
built" the street is paving or the street i
being paved?' There is a wide diversity of
opinion upon this subject; but we incline to
favor is being built, for the following reasons:
suppose you wish to express another kind of
an idea, would you say, for instance, JOHNNY
IS spanking or Johnny is being spanked?
The difference to you may seem immaterial.
but it is matter of considerable Importance
to Johnny; and it is probable that, if any
choice We're given him, he would suddenly
select the former alternative. You say again
that the missionary is eating Certainly this
expresses very different and much pleasant
er idea than the form, the missionary is being
eaten; and the sensation is very different
for the missionary, too. We have consulted
several missionaries about it, and they all
seem to think that the two things are some
how not the same, no matter what the gram
marians say.
But it is to be confessed that there are oc-
casions when the difference in the form is
not so marked. You assert, we say, that
Hannah is hugging, which, by the yay
would be very improper thing for Hannah
to do; it would be positively scandalous, in
deed. Precisely similar idea is conveyed
if you say, Hannah is being hugged,' because
it is popularity of the act that it is hardly
ever one sided; there is no selfishness about
it. And it is the same with kissing. Jane
is kissing'-and her mother ought to know
about it If she isis just exactly as if we
shoald say, Jane is being kissed; and the SEN
sation is the same, although none of the
grammars, by single inadvertence, mention
the fact. 1t will not be necessary, however,
for our correspondent to attempt to prove
these last mentioned facts by practice. He
must take Ir word for them. Unless he
does so, we shall answer no more questions
in syntax for him or any one else. Our duty

The Peoria Review thus cnrrects story in
the Missouri Democrat abou 1000 sheep who
leaped through window of a covered bridge
near Peoria; this story is very nearly correct.
There were, however, only $50 sheep in the
drove, instead of 1000. The bell wether did
not see the open window. 1t did not
jump out of it. The flock did not
follow it. There is no window in the
bridge. The drover dill not drive his sheep
across the bridge, he crossed at the ferry,
three miles higher up stream. If the bridge
was 500 feet above high water mark, the pres
ent piers would have to be heightened 46O feet
in order to reach the bridge. There isn't .
covered bridge within 100 miles of Peoria.
With these typographical inaccuracies the
romance is correct.
