DEVILS LAKE.-The bluffs of the Wis
consin, at the point where the Baraboo
river embouches into the valley, are SIX
hundred feet in height. In the midst OF
this enormous rocky stratum is deep
fissure or gorge, depressed over four hun
dred feet from the surface, hemmed Id
by mighty precipices, which constitute
basin of body of water, about a mile
and half in length by half mile IN
breadth, known as Devils Lake. 1t re-
poses like dew drop in its mighty
casket, and from its profound depths re-
fleets the dark shadows of the baetllng
crags that environ it, The level OF the
waters is one hundred and ninety feet
above the Wisconsin river. There Is
not in the West sample Of as bolu,
rugged, and striking scenery, or one
more pleasing to tourists. The country
about has been the seat Of intense igneous
action, and it is generally suppose: tnas
the cavity was created by the sinking Oh
the bottom through volcanic agency
This is not, probably, correct, but no eA,
PLANTATION of the origin OF this strange
lake has ever been vouchsafed, at least
no satisfactory one. - Wt1coHs'" o'a'"

the Custer massacre, which occurred
little less than year ago, and in wnicn li.
nearly the same number of men met lnen
death. 1t might be called coincidence, 70

June Roses.

Nav brought golden sunshine,
y MAY brought silver rains,
Buttercups and daisies
In the woods and lanes;
Lily bells and lilacs,
Apple blooms like SHOWS
Pinks, and purple pansies-
But June brought the Rose!
Roses dyed in sunset,
Full of amber light;
Roses dyed at dawniug,
As the dawning white;
Roses pink at sunrise,
Bearing Loves device;
Red.Iipped crimson roses,
Full OF hidden spice.
Weave them in a garland,
And while weaving sing:
"These are garnered sunshine,
Rain, and airs Of spring;
All the bliss of May-time,
Sweet south wind that blows,
Melody and perfume,
Made into Rose"
Weave a crown in autumn
From the broad.leafed Vine;
When the old year dieth,
Bay and Laurel twine;
But while charming spring.time
Into summer goes,
Weave the years first garland,
Every flower a Rose!

A FUNNY joke was perpetrated on a
music-loving but anti-dancing Methodist
minister of Alexandria, Mimi, lately.
He was at the village hotel displaying
his skill on the festive violin to a num-
ber of amateur musicians, when gay
party of young folks in an adjoining
parlor, thinking it too bad to have SO
much good music wasted, formed cotil-
lion and enjoyed themselves very much
while the good Methodist brother played
away with all his might, never for q
moment suspecting that he played while
they danced.

RAILROADS.&C. IN INDIA.-A railroad
incident occurred recently on one Of the
East India lines, which was as startling
as it was singular, and may be said to be
one of the most miraculous on record. A
train was approaching bridge on a
curve. When the bridge came in sight,
at q distance of 300 to 400 yards, the en-
gine driver was horror-struck to discover
that it was completely in flames. Find
ing his brake power totally useless in the
emergency, he jumped of, aud did also
the fireman, just as the train entered
upon the burning bridge over which it
rushed, fortunately with unabated speed,
through continuous flame which rose
furiousIy above the height of the railroad
cars. The wooden sleepers were on fire,
and parts Of the rails themselves were
red.hot. The whole train, composed OF
number of cars, passed safely over, and
not passenger was injured or scorched

Stromness, Orkney.

The harbor of Stromness is formed by
a projecting arm of the island of Pomona,
the island of Grgmsay, and northern
projecting headland of Hoy. The town
itself has quaint Normandy look.
Landing at one Of the small stone piers
one walks into nest of CuriositieS. The
one street runs in zigzag line through
the centre of the town. From it crooked
alleyways run at right angles. The
houses themselves are of heavy stone,
with gabled roofs, deep.set windows, and
projecting turrets. However long one
may stay at StromneSs, he will never see
any signs of excitement. The shop win
dows, filled with odd collections OF fancy
goods, always look undisturbed. The
narrow street, paved with fiat fiag-stones,
is always quiet. Atrare intervals an un-
gainly, large wheeled cart and pony come
numbering along, filling the street to the
utter exclusion of foot-passengers. Even
the boys of Stromness, hardy looking
youngsters in their rough homespun
clothes, do not seem to act like boys of
warmer climates. They lazily fish or
stare at passing strangers, but never seem
to make noise enough to disturb the still
ness Of the streets. The woman, too,
passing with their short skirts, bare arms,
heavy stockings made at home, and
wooden shoes, are of that happy, conten-
ted appearance so well suited to the gen.
eral contentedness of the town. 1t is a
quaint sight to see the woman and girls
OF Stromness, or the neighboring town of
Kirkwall, meet around the public foun-
tain at evening. They perch themselves
upon the bowls edge, and jabber over the
weeks gossip; the long summer twilight
softens the scene, and with sleepy town,
bright faces, and mellow light, the pic
ture is one long to be remembered. At
some remote year in the history of Strom-
ness her inhabitants were wont to SNUG
gle goods into their homes. All such
practices have disappeared now; but the
underground passages, the piers, the
houses SO near tue water, these all re-
main, and tell the story. Stromness, too,
claims itself to be the home of ''Torquil,"
Lord Byron's hero. Cleveland, the pirate
of Walter Scott, also lived here and even
the character of wild Norma was taken
from lonely old woman of the town
who used to sell favorable winds to de-
parting tishermen.-HGrper's Magazine.

A POPULAR English non-conformist
minister was stopping with farmer in
Glasgow, while on visit to that city,
whittier he had gone on deputation from
the Wesleyan Missionary Society. After
dinner, in reply to an invitation to par
take of some fine fruit, he mentioned to
the family curious circumstance con,
cerning himself, namely, that he had
never in his life tasted an apple, pear,
grape, or, indeed, any kind of green fruit
The fact seemed to evoke considerable
surprise from the company; but cautious
ScOtcbman, Of practical, matter -of-fact
turn of mind, and who had listened with
much unconCern, dryly remarked, "It's
a peety but ye had been in Paradise, and
there micht ma hae been ony faa."

Gross INHUMANITY.-Ay young lady,
employed in the largest dry-goods eStab-
lishment in the city, tainted from over
exertion few days ago, and while she
was in swoon the proprietor came up
to where she was lying, surrounded by a
sympathizing crowd of customers, and,
with great tlourish,s sent messenger out
for a cab to take her to her home. The girl
was confined to her home for day, and
when the end of the week arrived and
she got her envelope from the cashier of
the store containing her weekly wages,
she was surprised to find that there was
but 81 in it. Her stipend was but $6 per
week. When the cashier was asked for
an explanation, he said that five dollars
had been taken out for carriage hire.

A STRATFoRD old lady, who had never
been on the cars before, recently rode by
rail to New Haven. On her return, be-
ing asked what she thought of it, she ex-
claimed: ats the most m-o-n-o.t-o-
n.o-u-s thing Why / believe coming
back they went through the identical
places they did when they went down."

CAPTAIN EADs has plan for improv-
ing the channel of the Mississippi river
from Cairo down to the Gulf, by which
twenty-five feet of water will be secured
all the year round, and lands liable to be
submerged will be placed far above over
flow, thus doing away with the proposed
improved levee system, which isestimated
to cost $44,000,000. Eads' plan is to
bring the river to an approximate width
between Cairo and Red river. 1t varies
between these points from 1900 to 1000
feet in width. Where it is wide the cur
rent is more sluggish and sediment is
deposited in the shape of sandbars. The
reduction of these wide places will In.
crease the velocity of the current and
make it uniform with the current in the
narrower localities. Captain Eads thinks
any attempt to straighten the river will
be disastrous as well as exceedingly ex-
pensive. His plan seems to be simply
the application of his now successful
jetty system to about 800 miles of the
Mississippi river. He is confident that
by this method the Mississippi river lit
toral would be entirely lifted above over
flow.-COurier-J Journal.

THE Emperor Williams favorite mare

THE Emperor Williams favorite mare
which he rode at the battle of Sadowa,
died short time ago, and in connection
with the event this story is related: Dur
ing the battle, the King, accompanied by
Prince Bismarck, repeatedly placed him
self in great danger from the shells whiz-
zing around. In vain Prince Bismarck
urged his King not to expose himself
so. "But," relates the Prince, "when
His Majesty had ordered the cavalry to
advance at Lipa, and the shells came
thicker than ever, l ventured to expostu-
late afresh, and said, If your Majesty has
no pity for yourself, at any rate have
some for your minister, for whom
your faithful people will hold you
responsible.' The King then gave me
his hand and replied, well, Bis.
marck, now let US ride on So saying,
His Majesty turned and cantered away as
slowly as though riding along the Linden.
That made me wild, andriding up behind
him l gave Miss Sadowa SLY kick that
considerably hurried her movements.
The king looked round surprised, and |
fancy had some slight suspicion of the
truth, but he said nothing"

NORTH CAROLINA has 1000 white

The Morning herald., 1877-04-04
Calath,s1'sptass

A party of Young men started from Rawns
ley's segar store 6o2 shippley street last
night, they carried with them every kind of
instrument calculated to either annoy or
please. Cow bells, fish horns enormous
rattles, gongs, etc., were brought into re-
QUESTION to make a racket upon the occa-
sion. Armed with these instruments they
proceeded to the residence of Mr.. Cannon
on Justison street between Front and Sec
ond. The air was loaded by them with
sounds neither sweet nor dulcet, and the
neighbors was feareful that the earthquake
prophesied had commenced, but in little
while the soft, low voice of cadenced song
swelled into serenade of manly voices,
that would have done no dishonor to
quartet of Venetian cavaliers. Signor
Woodward, who was mainly instrumental
in getting up the serenade to his friend
Cannon, lives in Poplar street, and on the
path of the returning merrymakers, was
taken aback when they stopped at his
house, he having been lately married, and
salutcd bis bride with serenade of first
class character. Under the influence of
music Woodward waxed eloquent, and
made speech Of acknowledgment which
caused the triangle to tremble and the boys
to wipe their eyes. The gay fellows next
visited the house of Mr.. Moreland, and
there sang some excellent songs. Good
night was shouted-exit all.

Ever changeable, ever new. 1t is sea-
son of sunshine and showers. 1t is neces-
sary it should be so-the flowers and plants
are like infants, they need tending, and we
may say petting. The SUMS heat warns the
earth in which their roots are encased. The
rain is needed to refresh, and being needed,
the good God sends it. In April the flowers
bud, and 1t is an old, and not less a true
SAYING, that "April showers bring forth
MAY flowers" What = splendid sight is
the country in the month Of May. The
roses in full bloom; later comes the darker
and richer colors, scarlet, orange, dark
purple, brown, &c. Last of all, the Myrtle,
Cedar, Holly Pine and the various species
of ever greens put on their best appearance
year after year, until like the human Icing,
they become worn out, fall to the ground
and moulder back to dust, to be the parent
of new race of plants, as lovely as those
which have gone before.
