earthquakes are common and violent
in countries where there is least cleo
trical disturbance; that they usually
follow the trend of mountain chains
marking the lines OF volcanic activity
and where such chains do not exist,
or are submarine, occur at points
like the Sandwich Islands, where iso-
lated peaks are in active eruption. =
1t would be comfortable to believe
that not the surgine of internal fires,
the explosion OF internal gases, the
droppings of the under-crust, Nor the
shrinkagc of the outer-crust, are
causes of the phenomena, but only
superficial electricity, which may be
diffnsed and rendered harmless by
iron conductor Unfortunately how
ever, the crust itself rebels against
this theory, and earthquakes are no
more inclined to keep the railroad
track than the lightning to coDfine
itself 10 the route OF telegraph wires.

Alice Cary's Sweetest Poem.

OF oil the beautiful pictures
That hang ON memory's wall,
Is one of dim old forest,
That seemeth best Of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the viole.s golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquettiny all day with the sunbcAins,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines ON the upland
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks, nor the pale, sweet cowslip
1t seemeth to me the best.
I-once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In tie lap Of that o.den forest
lie lleth in peace asleep1
Light as the down Of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful sum mers.
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one Of The autumn ewes
l made for my little brother
A bed Of yellow leaves.
Swectly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the ,ree-tops bright.
lie fell, in his saint-like beauty.
Asleep by the gates Of light.
Therefore, Of all the.pictures
That hangs on memory's wall,
The one of the dim old forest
Seemeth best of all.

"On Wednesday Of last week,
stranger, an elderly gentleman, wait
ed upon Marshal Hale and laid the
| following case before him: He was
from near Cleveland, Q. Six years
ago he was an officer in the army and
resigned at Omaha, receiving vouch.
er tor 300 for his pay. Desiring
to return home Immediately, and
there being no paymaster there at
that time, he gave the voucher to the
Quartermaster who was to collect
the money and forward 1t to him
This was the last he had seen OF the
Quartermaster or his money. He
had hunted him all over tn st atcs,
aud as far as Mexico. bu: without
avail and had already spent more
money in searching tor him than the
voucher called for. But determined
to get even with him If possible, cost
what it would and hearing recently
that hc was somewhere in Iowa he
commenced the hunt again, and
learning that Hale was once Sheriff
IN this county, and probably well &C
ouainted with most of the citizens i'll
the county, applied to hun for infor-
maticn. Hale happened to know
that there was a mar OF that name in
the county an1 put him on the track
to find hiln-and he did find him.
The interview was short but efficient,
resulting in the Ohloan returning
home the next day with notes and
mortgages for $4,000 principal, and
interest, besides officers fees, attor-
neys' fees, and the expense OF COM
ING from Ohio after 1t. We suppress
names at present, as there will prob

All, Jim was his name,
And his cattle and swine
Pretty frequently came
And broke over the liEe
For we lived close together, though he was
distant relation Of mine.
Ny house was branne
And my garden the best
And my Shannocks they grew
Like potatoes possessed,
But jim, gettiu jealous, threw stones at
my len as she sot on her nest

When he grabbed up my axe,
And ths cowardly sneak
Gives couple eff whacks,
Which he stove in my fence and my door.
andtke beasts fvllered in in his tracks
Those ere horned critters ct
The corn, lettiss, and peas,
And drove Of hogs met
In the butter and cheese
And through basement and pantry they
wa!lered in cooked vittles up to their
knees.
They capszed the hot stove;
The flames darted and broke
Through the ceiling above,
And-ah, Johnny, no Joke
arnove, and them ruins was takin the
quietest kind Of smoke.
Jim-he'd scooted home.
And had locked himself in;

You have did as you chose,
But you've burned up my traps,
And I'm free to suppose
If you air the person l think. you will pay

Then calmly spoke James,
~ am sorry. And no more,
will pay direct claims
For the loss you have bore;
Ill correct all the damage TIE done-here's

Which. you see, must wait,

The Crops.

We have inspected only ono planta-
ton, and in that we found abundant
cause to .iustifyythe belief that the ca
terpillar will be there in such force,
about the LIST proNimo, as not to leave
any foliage in the field. We hear that
one "cut'' of Gen. Pargouds lower
place, is already very nearly ruined.
The reports from the hills and along
the river are all to the same evil pur
port, namely, that the next ''crop'
of worms will very likely strip the cot
ton Of its leaves. Blooms appearing
after the Goth will hardly reach mntu-
rity. This will leave not more than
half Il crop. Fortunately, the corn crop
is above an average, but we would eau
ton farmers to husband all they make.
