When we see a precious blossom
That we tended with such care,
Rudely taken from our bosom,
Though our aching hearts despair,
Round his little grave we linger,
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have perished
With the flower we cherished 80.

thr >iouN Indians being permitted
by treaty ~~upu!allOn- To- hunt over
the same. 1t is expected that Con-
gress next winter will abrugate the
existing treaty and coufine these
Indians to their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of Wyom-
ing Territory. The present. policy
of the government toward the Sioux
is likely to result in permanent peace
and the civilization of these saVegeS.
The just and humane treatment OF
this war-iike tribe and the presence
Of United States troops at their agen-
Cies, will prevent the recurrence OF
depredations which heretofore have
made this section Of the Territory
unsafe and undesirable for settlement.
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The geyser region of the Upper
! Yellowstone, which Congress has
I wisely set apart as IA National Park,
is unQuestiOnably the most ~astOnish-
ing combination of natural wonders
and of Imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report of
United States geOlOgiSts, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
park shall become accessible by rail
lbnAlS-SdN NV NHdIS IClCt-NG pre-
dict that it will become the great
summer resort and ]sanitarium of the
continent. For sight-seers and lovers
Of the wonderful and picturesque it
will have o attractions than
Niagara, Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there is
the best reason to believe that the
myriadS of hot and mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
unble curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de-
lightfully cool, bracing and healthful.
DEVELOPMENTS PROSPECTs
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and intelIi-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
is To be the leading commonwealth of
the new Northwest. The school
system of Wy coming is excellent and
abundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several of the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making of
needed, permanent improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds ~redeemable in from ten
10 twenty years and are consequently |
not burdenSOme.
With the opening up to settlement
Of Northern Wyoming the tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, as ii formerly has into Califor-
MIA or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given to our mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing, will give occupation to a
large population and add much to
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
healthfulness, fertility variety. and
abundance of natural riches, and the
Location on the line of the great
national thoroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad. we know of no
part of the Western country, which
eXcells Wyoming. the youngest
child of Uncle Sam.
1t is no place for drones or handles;
but for hard work, honest endeavor,
and capital backed by brains, it offers
il wide field and a reasonably sure
reward.

About Annexation.

There is o lavish indulgence in specu-
1ation by the press Of the country, just
now, upon the subject of the annexation
Of several of the northern provinces OF
Mexico to the United States. Some
writer's profess to be thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the true inwardness of the
whole enterprise, and abound In Incl
dents contirmatory OF their views. But,
when sifted down to the "hard-pan" of
facts, they can not be said to contain
much richness.
/ Some Of these rather flatulent stories
are evidently given in order to open the
food-gates OF denunciation upon the
Southern Pacific railroad enterprise, as
suming direcct connection between n
the two propositions. But we have
failed as yet to discover the slightest
relation between these matters, even on
the supposition that the stories about
the details Of annexation are all true.
And our present belief is that they are
almost entirely untrue.
That there are spectators and rest
less men who would move strongly for
some such project, on the basis of
clamor for indemnity from Mexico for
the depredations committed by her guer-
rillas on our Texan frontier, is most
likely. But annexation does not follow
because of this selfish and unauthorized
clamor. We all know that the transfer
of such an immense area OF Mexican ter
ritory, as is spoken of, could not be made
without the most serious consideration
by both Governments. The universal
repugnance of the Mexican people to the
alienation, by treaty or otherwise, Of any
portion of their soil is also perfectly we'll
known. And to suppose that such a
transfer would be made by their rulers
without the sanctionHof their Congress,
is plainly absurd; and that it could be
obtained from their Congress upon any
terms whatever, is in the highest degree
improbable.
Nor do we believe that our Govern
ment has any idea of inaugurating war
Tor conquest of Mexican territory, as
the relations of the two Governments
now stand. Our Congress as well as the
Mexican Congress must be made par
ties to any movement for annexation.
Our Senate is Republican, and the House
is Democratic. 1t is not at all likely,
without the highest degree OF provoea
tion that Mexico could inflict, that those
two bodies would unite upon a declara
tion of war. We have seen enough ol
war to satisfy this generation at least
Aud we do not believe that, without war,
annexation Is possible.

The insurrection among the Turki sh
provinces in Europe continues TO in-
crease in strength and virulence. A
whole detached garrison of the Turkish
army has been captured. The accounts
show unmi ligated barbarism in the con-
duct OF the war, on both sides. 1t is
plain that European Intervention in
some form must soon occur in defense of
common humanity. And il once begun,
even upon that ground, it will not be
likely to end there. The great drama is

demanded investigation by hearing on

to be too late to hear him. The proba-

Our DR.. Vaughan.

Ii our city had the honor Of producing
some renowned negro minstrel, or some
inimitable clog-dancer, or some political
harlequin or acrobat, the world would
speedily know of it by an unstinted
flourish Of trumpets, compared with
which the resonance Of the rams horns
before jericho would be nothing more
than jewsharp to the orchestra of Gill
more's Boston Jubilee. And yet Gin
cinnai is the home OF one of the pro-
foundest scholars in physical and mathe-
fnatical science known to tine present
generation Of men; and Cincinnati
herself scarcely knows the fact.
Our DIR. VAUGHAN is a most remark
able exemplffcation Of the Bib ical prt "
erb that the most gifted man, the rhiloso-
pher as well as the prophet, is not with
out honor, save in his own country. To the
learned men of Europe, "Dr. Vaughan OF
.Cincinnalp is quoted as a familiar and
an honored name. And yet to Cincin-
natians DIR. Vaughan is almost a strang-
er. Vast and varied as is his learning,
veluminous and instructive as are his
writings, indefatigable and wide-feaci-
ing as are his scientific researches, his
extreme modesty, amounting indeed to
difidence, stands as the only impedi-
ment in the way of his becoming one OF
the most conspicuous characters Of the
age. But recently, he gave, in this city.
Of aat0ptifin slh A..
jects, replete with learning and well
adapted to please and instruct a popular
audience, and yet the number Of his
hearers did not equal a tithe OF the num-
bers that crowded TO listen to the turgid
tropes of Theodore Tilton's bombastic
platitades.
Asa specimen of DR.. Vaughan's exact
ness of scientific investigation and his
rigid intellectual discipline, We quote
below from paper communicated by
him to the British Association, upon the
subject of solar illumination, in which
the magnitude of his numbers seems to
arithmetieal enumeration. DIR. Vaughan
says,-
"From comparison Of the relative in.
tensity OF solar, lunar, and artificial
light, as determined by Euler and VOL.
laston, it appears that the rays OF the
sun have an Illuminating power
equal to that OF 1900 candles

3,50u,Oo0,OO Q, 1000, 900. 0 100 0,Ooo, o OF
candles at distance oil 95,ooO,900 miles
1t follows that the amount Ut light
which flows from the solar orb could be
scarcely produced by the daily combus
ticn of 200 globes of tallow, each equa
to the earth in magnitude. A sphere o
combustible matter much larger thar
the sun itself would be consumed every
ten years in maintaining its wonderful
brfilIancy; and its atmosphere, If purt
oxygen, would be eexpended before few
days in supporting SO great conaagra
tion. An illumination on SO vast
scale could be kept up only by the mex

In all that we lave said, we entirel
