"See Aurora puts on her crimson blush,
And with re,plendent rays gltIs DER the top
OF yon aspiring hill ; the pearly dew
Hangs on the rose bud top, and knowing i,
Must b. anon exnalcl, for sorrow shrinks
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1875-09-01

Fiji Island in former times, was cap
tured at his nefarious business, and,
upon being strung to the yard arm, he
thanked God that he died game, like
true and bloody Britlsher."
Since the celebrated marriage of
Aruane, the oldest son of Queen Po-
MARIE, to the school girl Princess Ma
rau, the royal family of Tahiti has had
series of misfortunes and little run
of good luck. Among the former was
the death of Prince d'Joinville not
long since. He leaves a young and
beautiful Princess to mourn his loss.
The semi-savages of these islands are
of too happy disposition to mourn
long for anybody, and after the first
great burst of sorrow is over, and this is
usually immense, everything is forgot
ten, save and except the sign of the
widows weeds or the widows grunt.
In the way of good luck the royal fami-
", through the natives, has just elected
a girl Queen to govern the Island of
Borabora. To carry out the wish of
Queen Pomare, the French government
put a steamer at her disposal, that Her
Majesty in person might see the child
Queen, seven years old, seated upon
the throne. Borabora is one of the
four islands belonging to the Society
group, all of which are independent of
French dominion. They claim allegi-
ance to Queen Pemare, though the
claims are lightly made.

Soar InceDdiariSln.

A correspondent of the Pail Mall Ca
zette writes: ssTwo incidents have just
occurred which more than suggest that
some mysterious fires may have had
their origin in the action of the sun on
glass. A few days ago the master of the
steam tug Volunteer, in Plymouth
Sound, found that a large hole had
been burned IN the centre of the cover
ing of his berth, and that the fire had
penetrated to the bed itself, which was
smoking. II was then discovered that
this resulted from concentration of the
suns rays by the glass dead
lights in the side of the vessel. The
grounds of new mansion at Paignton
are entered through gates richly giltand
ornamented. To protect them tenn
porarily they were covered with canvas
On Sunday afternoon this covering was
found to be on fire, and was burned,
one of the lamps above being broken by
the heat. All ordinary theories of the
causes OF the fire failed to account for
this one, and it was discovered that the
globular lamps of the gates concentrated
the solar rays, and directed them on the
spot where the canvas had been, and
thus, doubtless, occasioned the fire.

BrOwnlow on the Drones.

Senator Brownlow is talking very
bluntly, as is his manner, to the idle
young Tennesseeans. In a recent issue
of his paper, the Knoxville Chronicle,
he says: eff our vast army of worth
less, lazy idlers were put to some useful
work, the difference In our products
would be so great that we would soon
cease to croak over our State debt, but
would go to work like men and pay it.
We would soon hear the last about hard
times. We would have money abund
ant to meet all our wants, ard would be-
come an entirely different people. We
could increase the facilities of
our common school system,
