the colony. Near four hundred persons were
carried off by this loathsolne disease. A fire
broke out in Charles Town in February, 1886,
which destroyed vast amount of property.
A About one hundred and forty thousand dollars
worth of property was consumed, and fifty
families left without shelter. The fire was
preceded by terrible hurricane which swept
with unbridled fury over sea and land. Death
and destruction marked its track. These Wis
itations of Providence were closed by the ap-
pearance of the yellow fever. 1t spread with
fearful rapidity, and multitudes died. These
calamities, together with the raids Of the pi-
rates upon the commerce Of the colony, no
doubt had much to do in allaying the spirit
of civil strife. In the ravages of wind and
wave, fire and disease, the people forgot their
old and unfounded prejudice.

space from Summer to Summer seems meas.
ureless. "Ah! my child, you will have real
trouble to fret about by and BY" is the conso-
lation we have all had administered to US in
our childhood, and have repeated it to,other
children since we have been grown apsNWe
have all sobbed 80 piteously, standing With
tiny, bare legs above our little socks, when
we lost sight of our mother or nurse in some
strange place; but we can no longer, recall
the poignancy of that moment and weep over
it, as we do over the remembered sufferings OF
FIVE or ten years ago. Every one of those
keen moments has left its trace, and lives IN
us still, but such traces have blent themselves
irrevocably with the finer texture OF our
youth and manhood and so it comes that we.
can look at the troubles of childhood with
smiling disbelief in the reality of their pain.
Surely, if we could recall that early bitterness
and the dim guesses, theA Aangely perspective
less conception of life that gave the bitterness
its intensity, we should not pooh-pooh the
griefs of our children. Childhood has no
forebodings; but then it is soothed by no
memories of outlived sorrows

BAL1ooN1NG.-Th following practical

tsrth ter the atmosphere is warmer one mile above
the clouds than it is at the earth's surface
The weight of balloon to carry one man;
including net and basket, should nc not exceed
80 pounds. A cotton ballon will last tor

in diameter undergoes strain of II pounds
to the square foot Of surface. Cas- which at
the earth fills the bag only half full, will, at
an elevation of 81 miles, expand so as to iii
it completely. One thousand feet of coal gas
will raise 81 pounds. Gas which gives

up or lowering them into currents of air tray

the balloon is sailing.

CALIFORNIA GoLD.-The gold of Cslifor-
MIA was noticed by early Spanish explorers,
and was again discovered on the Colorado
river, lust a century since, in 1775, but at
tracted no attention till its re-discovery early
in 1S4S, when the existence of very rlch gold
alluyions was made known. A rapid imml-
grafton to the region at once followed, and 1t
was reported in August of that year that the
daily production of gold was from $4,000 to
$4,000. -,
It was not until 1851 that gold-bearing
veins were discovered, and the larger part OF
California gold has been got from the placers,
as the alluVions are called. 1t is from the
partial exhaustion of these that the iproduc-
ttion has of late years considerably diminlshed;
In 1S4S it was estimated at $4,000, ,0Q0. snd
reached its maximum of s65, 600, 900 ia 1893:
In 1870 it had fallen to $25,0O0,0OO, and
reached 19,OOO,OOOin in 1873, but rose again in
1874 to $40, 100000. The total yield, since
the opening of the mines in 184S, amounts to
more than s1,OOO,OOO,000. The working OF
the gold-bearing veins and of the deeper al
luvions or placers has of late been system,a'
tized and greatly improved, and from the
abundance and richness of these, and the per-
sstence of the veins in depth, this region may
be expected to produce great amounts OF gold
for generations to come.

HUMAN ExIsTENCE.-ln all ages there
have been those who believed in mans power
to prolong his existence in this world, it might
be for years, and it might be forever: En-
thusiasts have searched far and wide for the
Fountain of Youth, and did before they had
touched their lips to the immortal waters.
Bulwer wrote a novel of which this idea was
the motif. Hawthorne's "Septimius FELTON,"
was the story of man who resolved to live
forever, and who sacrificed all human joys
and interests at the shrine Of this illogical
longing. For the most part this dream OF an
everlasting existence on this earth has be-
lonped to poets and enthusiasts, and other such
dwellers in the clouds. One is surprised to
6nd, in the works of Roger Bacon, that phil
losopher seriously discussing the idea of an
earthly Immortality, and pretty distinctly
avowing his own faith in its possibility. De
says that death is no doubt occasioned by
mans long abuse of himself "The posslblll-
ty of prolongipg human life," he says, "is
confirmed by the fact that the human species
is naturally immortal, or able not to die. For,
even after the loss of aboriginal longevity, it
is by imperceptible degrees that individual
life is abbreviated, and this, being contingent,
might be partially, if not wholly, restored by
persistent regimen of temperance and con-
tinency observed by generation after genera
ton" But the poets dreams and the phi
losopher's speculations have alike failed to
bring forth fruit, and the generations OF men
20 on into the next country, as the German
separatists quantity say. And are we sorry?
To live on, when the rest we're gone, that were
the true death.

SEDAN.-The eighth volume of the great
work on the Franco German war, published
By the German Imperial staff, was issued at
Berlin on the 2Oth of May. 1t is especially
devoted to the battle of Sedan, and contains,
besides great many curious documents and
plans, fac-simile of the letter in which Ma
poleon III, declares he gives up his sword to
King Wilhelm.
There is also sketch of the little cottage
near Donchery, where the meeting of the two
sovereigns took place.
The German army, says the volume, lost in
the battle 46O officers and $500 men, killed
or seriously wounded the French army 3,00O
killed and $4,000 wounded. As to the flags,
the Germans found but two, and one eagle;
the surrendered troops either burned those
dear trophies or threw them into the Meuse
before the captulation.
The French had in line, altogether, during
the battle, only $4,000 men, with 45O pieces
of artillery and naitraileuses, against 22O,OOO
Germans, with 1,180 Krupp guns.
The Prussian official account fully con-
firms, besides, the terrible accusation Inces'
sanity renewed against the Bavarians, of hav'
ing, at Bazeilles, close to Sedan, on Septem-
ber 1st, barbariously slaughtered the helpless
inhabitants of this village, and driven back
into the flames men, women, children and old
people, indiscriminately, until nothing re-
mained but smoking ruins and charred corpses.

MISTAKES MATRIMoN1AL-That the SUBJ
ject is lamentably old we readily admit; but
what matters that, so long as humanity is
ever new? Marrying and giving in marriage
will continue to the end of the world, but, for
all that, great number Of marriages prove
mistake. Unfortunately, when men and
women have matrimonial designs upon each
other, they endeavor to hide their true char
acters, and, however dissimilar their tastes, to
pretend they are alike. The rules of etiquette
are such that course of deception is render
ed surprisingly easy -; indeed, so facile, that
were there no Intention upon the part of those
most concerned to dssemble, almost the same

US to display our best attributes to strangers

the seeming amiability of women who are, in
reality, shrewish while women admire the
nobility of men who cannot define the word

THE MAYORS MEssAGE.

The message Of his honor, Mayor
Cabell, published in The HERALD of
Wednesday morning, will very gener-
ally commend itself to the citizens OF
this municipality. The suggestion in
regard to bonding the present indebt-
edness presents, to The HERALD, the
only feasible solution ofthe city finan-
cial problem, though it thinks that the
bonds could he negotiated as readily at
less rate ofinterest than ten per cent.
Capitalists rely more upon the prompt
payment of interest than high figures,
and If 1t can be shown to their satisfac-
ton that the assets of the city are am
pie to meet her obligations. the bonds
could, perhaps, be negotiated as easily
at eight az at ten per cent. L
The mayors statement as to the
progress and increased taxable wealth
is most gratifying, and must certainly
be a matter Of -self-pride, and congrat-
ulation to the citizens Of Dallas, borne
out as it is by indubitable evidence OF
truthfulness.
The suggestions under 1.-The head of
streets and bridges are timely, and
should be acted upon by the council
with the least possible delay. The eff
forts of the authorities to improve the
city by the opening of new streets
should be met with moreliberal spir-
II by.citizens. The enhanced value of
real estate along the line ofnew streets
more than compensates for thesmall
donation which all property owners
should freely, and cheerfully give to

facilities, as well as the sanitary condi-
tion of the city, should, as his honor
suggests, receive the early attention of
