MOUNTAIN CLMBING.--The greatest
! altitude which has been reached by
mountain climbing was attained in
Cashmere by Mr.. johnson, who some
years ago mounted to a spot $4,000
feet above the sea. Eronauts have
assembled $4,000 feet and returned in
safety. It is supposed by mountain
GERS that $4,000 to 10000 feet is the
utmost height that will ever be trod
by human steps. That life can be
supported at this altitude has been
proven by the adventures who have
dared the dangers Of the upper air IN
a balloon. During the last summer
Mons. Weiner assembled Mount lllima-
nj, one of the Hottest peaks of the Bo-
liyian Andes. The height of this
mountain has been variously estima-
ted, Mr.. Pentland giving it an altitude
of "a, 900 feet; Mr.. Minchin setting it
at 81, 224 feet, and Mr.. Neiner him.
self making it to be only 2O,Sl2 feet
Few ascents to the height of $1,000
feet have been recorded. Hunters Of
the Himalayas often chase their game
to the height of 10000 feet, and ma
tives living near Mount Demarend,
near Teheran, frequently climb to the
summit, above 10000 feet, to gather
sulphur from the crater.

SENSIBLE CLERGYMEN-The clergy
men of Boston have advanced step
in the right direction. They have at
last appreciated the signal failure of
the attempt to draw discredit upon
the stage through preaching against
it from the pulpit. Why they did not
come to their deserted senses years
ago we can only question, and can
but conclude their recent stand is an
other evidence of the tide Of progress
which has swept over them and car
vried them along with it. At any
event they have launched upon the
broad highway of practicability, and
now instead Of opposing the drama
they approve of the higher phases of
it, and have formed themselves into a
society for elevating the tone of the
Legitimate" and diacouraging the
trashy sentiment dealt out to GER
tain class. In this effort the Boston
divines win have the hearty co-opera-
ton and moral support of intelligent
people everywhere.

OBEusKs.-Only forty-two obelisks
are known to exist. At Karnak four
are standing and two PROSTATE. Nine
more are prlstrate at Saan. One
stands at Philae, twelve are at Rome
the largest of them being at the
church of St. Lateran. Florence
contains two, and Paris, Aries, Con
stantinople one each. In this county
there are four-two at the British Mu-
scum, one at Ainwick Castle and the
fourth at Kington Lacy, Dorsetshire,
brought over by Mr.. William Bankes,
a friend of Lord Bryon. The obelisk
now on its way to England was the
companion of one still standing at
Alexandria, to which it had been
transported from On. Though named
after CIeopetra, its erection at the
Temple of Caesar did not take place
until the eighth year of the reign of
Augustus and several years after the
death of the Queen. Abdul Lantecl

AS to Texas.


A thoroughly informed cotton
man of New York, says OF Texas
ave will select Texas as being the
State now making the most rapid
progress in population, production
and wealth. Few persons can real
ize the facts in regard to this State,
except by comparison. In area, il
exceeds the German empire by
about 10000 square miles; IL has
land and climate fitted for the grow
ing of almost all the products of tho
temperate zone: it is underlaid TO a
large extent with coal. But in re-
spect TO cotton, on less than ono
half of one per cent. of its area, IL
last year produced one half of all
the cotton consumed in the United
States, and four per cent. of its area
would be capable OF producing all
the cotton now consumed in Europe
and the United States, or 5000, 900
bales. Whenever the fertile land Of
Texas, which constitutes nearly
three.fourths Of It's area. Is settled
with the same density of population
as Massachusetts, one person 10
each three acres, It will contain
nearly 4O.OOO.QOO people

carries bread, wine and water up to

daily duty to prepare.
With these symbolical ceremcs

piece Of sugar, TO denote that she
should utter little, and only what is
good. As yet she is onl y stran-

termed the "betrothed." BY an as
sumption of continued bashfulnessI
prescribed by custom. she keeps
apart even from her husband. In
the presence OF others she scarcely
converses with him, much less would
playmate phrase be permitted
from her lips. IT Is only when

FrightfIl.


1t makes the blood run chill to
record such cruel accidents rs 1t is
sometimes our duty to do, and we
recoil with a shudder from q task
that seems to partake of the hOr
rors of the calamity it is describing.
We rarely publish such things I'M
less we are compelled to, and duty
calls us to-day. For years there
has been an old we'll in a field back
of the Anderson place, very deep
with rugged sides and covered over
with rotten rails and brush. 1t is
wonder that no children ever lost
their lives in 1t before. 1t has been

ueighborlng mothers for n long
time, but until recently their fears
we're thought to be i'll grounded, as
the well was so hidden that it was
thought children would never find
it. But mems calculations cannot
dictate to fate and their best laid
schemes are often blasted by a
withering reality. n few weeks ago
a MIR. smith came from Alabama
aud occupied the tenement house
near by. His children were three
bright, beautiful little girls, one,
three and five years of age, and
they were used to play in the green
woods OF their Alabama home un-
watched and unattended. On Tues
day last the children went out rs
usual to play, and the mother at
| tended to her household work rs
usual. They stayed out longer
than usual and the sun was fast
sinking, when tho mother grew I'M
easy and a terrible foreboding seized
upon her mind and ran her frantic
Her screams attracted the neighbors
and the universal opinion was that
the children were in the well. They
began the search, carrying a ladder
and ropes. All could that mother
have been spared the anguish
They proceeded at once TO the well
and sure enough the rotten cover
ing was displaced ana the work Of
taking out the little ifeless bodies
was commenced. \ strong man
went down the ladder and in few
moments hallowed to pull the rope
The rope came up slowly and
breathless with suspense the neigh.
bors saw the strong man come NJ
with it. His CHASTITY face told the
tale before his lips uttered
There amt no children down thar
The neighbors then dispersed and
the mother went back hons and
found her children playing i 'hC
