The moon and the Earth.

Imagine how Ereathless the interest with
which we should hayc awaited each revela-
tion of the marvellous instruments which sci.
ence employs in the work of lunarian discov.
cry If our satellite had been inhabited and
we could have discovered something like our
own human lifei Unhappily, any such inn
ssnation is out Of thel question. A place
without air and water, and in which the tenn
perature passes through range of nearly 200
degrees within a fortnight, must present con-
ditions otwhich we cannot form any concep-
tion. Another peculiarly which-to our no.
tions, at least-would be unpleasant is sup
piled by the meteors. Here they are pretty
spectacle; IN the moon they cannot be seen,
but they must, at times, at least, keep up a
very brisk cannonade. "As there is no at
mosphere,' write our authors, ito consume
the meteors by fric,ional heat, or break, by
its resistance, the velocity of their descent,
they must strike the moon with force 10
which that of cannon.bal striking target
is feeble indeed" Ii these difficulties could
be removed the moon would be a most eligi.
hlc nlace for the observation of astronomical
phenomena-for finding out, for instance, all
that We are SO laboricusly seeking to discor.

Blessings on the boys. Not the young,
healthy, rosy. checked male savages of thirteen
or sixteen years. They cannot help being
hoys. and deserve no special credit or con
demnation for 1t. But blessings on those hale
old boys of forty or even forty-tlve or even
sixty who bend their broad shoulders to the
burdens OF life, but who do not let those bur
dens crush their hearts; whose eyes are quick
to catch the light of mcrriment over a droll
story, and quicker to fill with tears OF sym
pathy for friends distress, who retain a
boyish love and reverence for all that is wo-
manly, whose boyish confidence in humanity,
AS whole, though often shocked, pever dies !;
who watch eagerly for the bright spots of
sunshine on lifC's carpet, and seat themselves
where it falls brightest and warmest. They
rarely grow rich, for their boyish generosity
is too careless for that; they may not com
mand the awe OF admiring crowds; they are
not always systematic enough to be trusted
with important offices; but the nimble feet OF
childhood spring to them, manhood trusting
ly extends to them wide open hand, women
greet them with confding smile, and all
through life they live and receive great treas
ures of pure love. God himself isvery tender

a Deeruunt by Steamboat.

On the afternoon of the 4th instant, as the
steamer Maria Wilkens was on her way from
Freeport to Kalama, she sighted a deer in the
river about u mile below the latter place.
When first seen he was about one-third of the
way across. and striking out boldly for the
Oregon shore The steamer was headed for
HIM with ali haste, and there beng no fire,
arms on board except a small pocketpistol, ii
was decided to try and capture him alive. a
moose was made in rope and thrown as the
boat approached, but missed tile game. The
deer whred and made for the Washington
Territory side, which was the nearest, but
Captain Huntington turned helittle steamer
in fine style and headed HIM of. The chase
now became exciting A secpnd time the
ropes were thrown unsuccesshlly, and the
deer, though making prodignus efforts to
reach the shore, was the third time over
hauled This time both ropes caught on his
horns, and after desperate struggle he was
hauled on board AID securely fastened, but
one horn was broken off in the struggle. He
proved to be four-year-old buck, and in fine

The following particulars concerning the
trio of Prof La Mountain and Johu A. Had
doc, who went up in a balloon in the year
1859, is related by the brother OF the latter

A New Danger.

Country children are exposed to new
danger, or, rather, an old danger, which has
threatened the little "todders" ever since the
creation of the world, has just been brought
to light. 1t happened down III Gadsden, Ala
bama, that a child OF Mr.. A. Langley, we'll
known citizen Of that place, was playing in
the farm.yard among the chickens. A big
rooster, having nothing better to do, com
menced fighting with the child, which was
about eighteen months old. The little fellow
was knocked down and spurred in the face
and head several times before the mother
could come to the rescue, A doctor was call
cd, and he discovered that one stroke of the
spur had penetrated the brain. The sufferer
died IN few hours. The doctor says that TO
his knowledge, derived through experience
and books, such case never happened before
in the world. But the event exposed new
danger to country children. Careful mothers,
hereafter, will not let their little ones play
with the chickens. The restriction will mar
row a chld's field of activity, and though
children often need squirting up, a chicken is
not just the thing to do it.-St. Louis Repub.

TIMES DISCLOSURES.
A Murder of Thirty Eight Years Ago Brought
IN

10 Light.
Says the Havana (Ills.) Clarion: Many of
our citizens distinctly rccollect the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of stranger who was
stopping at the "Harv." Ross hotel, in this
city some thirty-eight years ago. The CIR
cumstances AS related by many of our Oldest
and most reliable citizens about the mystery
are substantially as follows: Some time in
August, 1887, man ON horseback arrived at
the Ross hotel and registered his name John
Miller. He was u man of about 40 years of
age and of Scotch descent. He stated that he
was making a trip through the country with
a view Of purchasing some land, as he had
some money that lie wished TO invest In
Western lands. His stay was prolonged in
the hotel on account of chills and fever,
which was no uncommon thing in those days.
The weather being very warm and the hotel
badly ventilated, he, with other boarders,
frequently slept in the barn near the hotel.
On or about the 25,h of August, 1887, he re.
tired as usual IN the barn TO avoid an oppres,
siye heat and spent the night in sweet repose
and perhaps to dream Of the dear ones Of
home, but the morning light revealed his va
cant couch. Mr.. Miller was not found IN
his "liule bed, nor had he made his appear
ance at the hotel. Search was instituted, but
no tidings was ever heard OF him. His horse,
saddle and bride being in the barn convinc.
ed all persons that there was something very
mysterious about his sudden disappearance,
and certain parties were suspected of his
murder, but the circumstances were not
strong enough TO convict them at that time
! His sudden disappearance has
