The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1874-12-30

It is estimated that the 'hide hunt
ers OF Kansas, Texas. Colorado and
Southern Nebraska kill 80. 1000 buffalo
each year for the skins alone; that the
Indians kill three times that number,
and that perhaps 10000 more are
killed by sportsmen and those pioneers
who depend on the buffalo for their
winter meat. Thus We have the
enormous figure Of 100000 as the an.
rual slaughter" "
Two French sdcanks have presented
to the French Academy OF Sciences the
result of their experiments upon a
flame produced by the mixture of
sulphur of carbon and bloxide of
nitrogen. The light produced by it
is so intense as to quite eclipse the
sun. By the help of it photographers
will be able to do their work at any
hour of the day or night. and in any
condition of the atmosphere.

The Old and the Nexx.

The OlA and the New.
Clasp the hands OF those who are going,
Kiss the lips that are raised to be kissed,
For the life Of the old year is flowing
And melting away in the mist.
Greet the new yesr With music end laugh
Let the old pass away with tear,
For we shall remember, hereafter,
The many who died with the year.
And the songs Of the children OF sorrow
Shall unite with the echoes of mirth,
Ere the sweet, glad sun of tomorrow
And the meek, stricken daughters of an
gulsh
Shall lift their sharp burthens OF pain,
And long as they linger and languish.
For Christ's blessed presence again.
For time has struck down the hearts idols
The fairest, the dearest have died
And death hath gone grimIy to bridals
And claimed the first kiss Of the bride.
But the glory of noon and gray-light
Arc gathered and mingled in one,
And the darkness OF dawn and the day
light
Precede the approach of the sun.
A poor mother bird is Oft lifted
From the storms shaken bough where she
olung,
And cruelty driven and drifted
Far away from her nest-full of young.
But the wild storm that buffets and hurries
This lone bird about in the West,
Lifts up ite bosom and carries
Another bird safe to her nest.
Ali the span OF the heavens is spacioue-
CLEAR sight ie vouchsafed TO the blind
The bitterest griefs are made gracious-
The cruelest fate rendered kind.
Clasp the hands Of those who are going,
Kiss the lips that are raised to be kissed,
For the life of the old year is flowing
And melting away In the mist.

ture bit by bit to supply their needs. In
her garnet stood an old sofa, which had
been given to her at her marriage by a
relation long since dead. At length even
this valued heirloom had to 20 to the
brokers. Two porters accordingly at.
tempted to remove the sofa, but were un.
able to do so. The broker, who naturally
feared that his bargain was stuffed with
stone instead Of horse hair, insisted on
immediate investigation. To the sur.
prise of all persons, the removal of a
thick coating of the latter material.

the existence Of which the owner of the
sofa had no idea. Each musket was
wrapped in a poster containing an invi.
