invention, patience magnanimity and
capacity of suggestion. Galileo
taught the Copernician hypothesis
no small achievement in that age of
pedantry. Copernicus still retained
the doctrine of Epicvcles, but made
the solar system heliocentrie. He
held back his theory till late in life,
and did not present it in a very
striking way. Defended by Calico,
with his matchless sarcasm. it be-
came a wonderous power in the
world. His audaeity of genius
crowded his lecture room and en-
larged his emoluments. He had
heard at Venice of Jansen's telescope,
and constructed one for himself,
which magnifed three times. This
he presented to the Senate of Ven
ice, who gave him $1,000 FORMS
With another telescope, of eight
fold magnifying power, he develop
ed wonderful results. His discovery
of Jupiter's moors clinched the hell
ocentric theory. This produced viO-
lent opposition, but CosmO de Medi-
co espoused his cause, and gave him
sinecure worth 1000 fiOrins per
annum.
But his prosperity was destined
to wane. His sarcastic contempt for
priests and pedants provoked perse-
cution. He was summoned to Rome,
where DellarmiGe raved against him
as an in6del. Pope Urban was made
to believe that he was satirized by
the philosopher. He was compelled
to abjure, curse and detest the hell
ocentric theory on his knees. Why
did he not accept the full conse-
quences of his soul freedom and
hurl defiance at his enemies? Poor
old man of seventy years, what was
there in the few remaining years of
life to tempt him to abjure the no.
blest crown of Immortality? He be-
came blind and deaf, sleepless and
rheumatic. The death of his daugh-
ter broke him down. 1t was then in
those lonely days at Arcetr, in man
ly beauty, Milton stood before him,
gazing with reverent awe. Milton,
his guest, just then came forth all
life and enterprise, while be in his
old age, at nOOn-day, exploring with
his staff, his eyes upturned as to the
golden sun, his eyeballs idly rolling.
Poor Calico, thine illustrious visit
or, when his afiicsion came, could
plant his sightless eyeballs inward,
and. seeing, tell of things invisible
to mortal sight, things uninterrupted
yet in prose or rhyme, and yet,
though blind observer of the heaven

what wonders would be revealed by
the power of thy wondrous instru-
ment after thou shalt be laid lifeless
and cold beneath the marble floor of

From the winnemucca CSey.) Star
A PetrIaed Forest in the Desert.


From David Rideout, who has
been engaged in preparing a section
of petrifed tree for the Centennial
Exhibition, we learn the following
relative to the petrifed forest in the
desert of Northwestern Humboldt.
On the plain, about thirty miles vest
of the Blackrock range of noun
tains, stands one of the greatest nat
ural curiosities ever discovered in
Nevada. 1t is petrifed forest, in
which the stumps of many of the
trees, now changed into solid rock,
are still standing. There are no liv-
ing trees, or vegetation of any other
kind than the stuffed sage brush in
the vicinity. Some of these ancient
giants of the forest, which flourish
ed, perhaps, thousands of years ago,
when the climate of Nevada was nm
doubtedly more favorable for the
growth of luxuriant vegetation thRn
at present, rival in size the big trees
of California. Stumps, transform
ed into solid rock, stand in an up
right position, with their roots i'm
beded in the soil, as when growing,
that measure from fifteen to twenty
six feet in circumference, and the
ground in the vicinity is strewn with
the trunks and limbs, which retain
their natural shape and size. Mr.
-Rideout determined TO secure a sec
ton of one of these trees for the Cen
tennial Exhibition, and with two
other men, spent twelve days IN cut
ting it from the stump. This was
accomplished by drilling all areGnd
the tree and separating it with
wedges. The specimen is three feet
high and eighteen feet N eircDmfer-
ence, and its estimated weight is
three tons. It stands on the stump
from which it is severed, ready to be
loaded on a wagon. Mr.. Rideout
does not feel able to incur the ex-
pense Of bringing it by team to the
railroad, though be had once made
arrangements to do so, but the other
party to the agreement failed to per-
form his part. He is anxious to call
the attention of the Centennial Com
missioners TO the matter, and see if
they will not furnish the means to
get it to the railroad. The country
in which it is situated rs an inviting
field for geologists.

The Utica On W Observer, publish
es the following strange and startling
story in regard to an earlier incident
in Babcock's career than any which
have yet been investigated
Shortly after the first inauguration
of President Grant, in 1869, a certain
New Yorker addressed a letter to an
officer who had held a high rank il
the army during the war, saying in
substance ''lf you will procure my
appointment to the position of ---- !
will pay you the SUN OF $4,000"
The officer in question was not engag-
ed in that lire Of business, and felt
justly indignant at becoming the re-
cipient OF such a scandalous PROPOSE.

which was soon followed by an I'M
availing personal appeal, But chanc-
Ing to be in Washington shortly after,
he met Orville f Babcock, and think
ing that it was proper that the Presi-
dent should know what efforts had
been mace to procure a lucrative office
through purchased influence, he laid
before Babcock the facts in the case,
Babcock appeared more interested
than surprised. He wanted to see the
letter. 1t was shown him. and he said
after reading it carefully: "Give me
this letter. fou don't want it, and |
do Thinking that Babcock desired
to show It to the President, the army
officer readily complied with the re-
quest. tie went away satisfied that

Timetables change, and bring an carly train,
Pull not that string, when first you come in

Lest some poor patient you should ill with

Whose ancient bells wait back to long past

When Pomfret roads saw father drive the like
Come late lest yours some drowsy car may

When summer clothes the earth with living

And countless birds in joyous sports are seen,
Sweet Red-Breast stay your mornings

Nor bid the sleeper wake and join your praise.
Old Quechee, ever murmuring forth its Joys,
Now roaring low, now louder its dam noise
Must cease at morn to fill half dreaming ears

For that might wake and scare some timid

If we at five no earthly sound could hear.
