MISCELLANY.
The Highest Mountain in the United
States.

The dispatch and letters received
early in the season from the Hayden
Exploring expedition gave the I'M
preston that the highest mountain
within the limits of the United
States were in Colorado, near the
head waters Of the Arkansas river.
Subsequent reports have not con-
firmed this impression, the highest
points have been found not to ex-
ceed 14,300 feet in altitude. There
are several points higher than this
in the Sierra Nevada, as has been
established by the labors of the Cal
ifornia State Geological Survey
The names of Shasta and Tyndall
will recur at once to those who have
read Clarence Kings "Mountaineer-
ing" The highest point Of all,
Mount Whitney, has been estimated
at ID, 900 feet in height, though its
summit has not been reached until
this season. On the 9Th of this
month a successful ascent Of Mount
Whitney was made by Charles
Rabe, of the California survey, and
its height determined, by means Of
the barometer, to be IA, 89o feet
There need no longer be any doubt
as to where the highest mountain in
the United States is.

near the edges of the solar disk than
at the center; comparing the latter
with a point three-fourths of the So
lar radius from the center, the rela-
tions are 48 to 35. The difference
is, in his opinion, caused by the ab-
sorption power of the photosphere,

A report was recently read by a

Petty POmpOsity.

I am led to believe that petty
pomposity is one of the most unen-
durable of the minor unpleasantness-
es. The mildest case of this kind
which / can at this moment recall
is, at the same time, so obnoxious
that, I regret to say, I can hardly
bring myself to proper frame of
mind for its calm discussion.
/ think / must be peculiarly SEN
sitive to this style of social nuisance,
because so few of my friends fully
sympathize with my antipathy. In
deed there is so much difhdence in
the manner of the pompous gentle
man 1 have in my mind, it is such
a gentle tragedy,-that there are
many who do not perceive, or else
are not in the least discomftted by,
the thing that irritates me so. Per-
haps my own selfconsciousness
helps me to detect the same quality
in others; and perhaps the manner
to which I allude is rather the out
growth of large self-consciousness
than anythidg else. 1t may be this
that affects the tone of his voice and
conversation,-to whose murmurous
common-places he seems to be listen
ing with sweet content. He says
a thing, not in order to convey an
idea (supposing him possessed of
such an anomaly, but that the air
may be burdened with the soft and
measured tones of his utterance, as
with a soothing song, bringing de-
light to his own ears and, incident
ally, to those of his auditors. Thus
his simplest question OF remark -
as to the price of huckleberries, or
the imminence of rain,-has a ca
dence all its own. The thing that
maddens me is that this fellow of no
accomplishment arrogates the sub
dued grandeur of hero; he thinks
to wear that fine flower of gentility
