The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1879-12-03

John Burroughs, in Scribner OF De-
cember. says: The poetic Interpretation
of nature, which has come TO be coa-
venient phrase, and about which the
Oxford professor has written book, rs,
of course, myth, or is to be read the
other way. 1t is the soul the poet in
terprets, not nature. There IS nothing
in nature but what The beholler sup
plies. Does the sculptor interpret the
marble or his own idea? Is the music
In the instrument, or In the soul OF the
performer? Nature il dead clod until
YOU have brea5hed upon it with your
genius. You commune with your own
soul. not with woods or waters; they
furnish the conditions, and are what
you make them Did Shelley interpret
the song Of the sky-lark, or Keats that
OF the nightingale: They interpreted
their own wild, yearning hearts. The
trick Of the poet is always to idealize
nature, to see it subjectively. You
can not fnd what the poets find in the
woods until you take the poets heart
to the woods. He sees nature through
IA colored glass, sees it truthfully, but
with an indescribable charm added
the aureole Of the spirit. A tree,
cloud, bird, a sunset, have no hidden
meaning that the art Of the poet is to
unlock for US. Every poet shall inter
pref them differently, because the soul
is infinite Milton's nightingale is not
Coleridge's; Burns daisy is not Wads-
worth's; Emerson's humble.bee is not
another's; nor does Turner see in ma
ture what Tintoretto does, nor Veron-
ese what CQrgeggio does. Nature is all
things to all men.

A romantic young couple, living in
Lisbon, n. H., went out for adrive, andin
returning were carried by their runaway
horse into the Ammonoosuc River. 1t
was so dark that they dared not turn
around. The horse swan across with
them, but the water in the deepest part
enciroled their necks though they stood
upon the buggy seat. The opposite bank
being too steep for the horse to climb,
the couple got ashore over the shafts and
rescued the horse by cutting him loose,

Wing Hill Letter.
WING HILL, Jan. "a, 1879.

WING HILL, Jan. "a, 1879.
Our Hill is still prospering and peo-
pie are all well. Mr.. Frank Gillespie
is putting logs in at Newtown on this
good snow, and we hear the jingle of
the sleigh-bells occasionally, which
makes us want to take a sleigh-ride
ourselves.
Our young folks attended a spelling
match at the German Hill school, on
the 18th, which they pronounced a
success, owing to the good management
of 4. z. Gillespie and some Of his pu-
pills. They we're well entertained.
We read in your paper that an ef.
fort is to be made to secure legislation
to protect our wild game from utter
destruction. If a petition to that effect
is presented for signatures we will put
our names down willingly.
Rev. Stone will preach in the school
house tomorrow at II A. NJ. Quar-
terly meeting will commence on Sat.
urday, February 9Th, lasting over
Sunday and good meeting is antici-
pated.
George Klinstiver has given up
blacksmithing aud has gone to cutting
logs he says he will accumulate for
tune if he has to obtain it by pulling
the saw.handle. So much for pluck.

FIREI

Derickson q Co.'s stave mill went
up in smoke on Thursday morning
last, destroying the machinery and
burning quite a number of slaves and
several cords of bolts. The fire was
observed by Mr.. Adams about 1
o'clock A. NJ, and when discovered the
whole mill was ablaze, so that it was
impossible to get anything out Of it.
The bell at the Lawrence House was
rung, and quite number Of our citi-
zens gathered and assisted in removing
slaves, bolts, &c. out of the way Of the
fire. But little could be accomplished
however, and no attempt was made to
put the fire out. Popular opinion
leans toward the belief that the fire
was the work of all incendiary, but we
are 10th to believe that we have any.

they earned there to procure bread for
their families. there is such I per-

H. w. Roberts, while carrying an
armful of wood up his icy outside
stairs, a few days ago, slipped, dropped
his wood, and fell to the bottom, one
of his ribs coming in contact with each
particular step until he reached the
bottom. He was painfully but not
seriously injured. The wonder is that
the RIB which took all the bumps was
not broken. He is up and around at
present, but is feeling as if he had been
having a wrestle with threshing-ma-
chine.
Mr.. Wheeler voted for Don Cam
eron for U. S. Senator, and so far as
we have been able to ascertain none of
his Republican constituents are dis.
posed to find any fault with his action.
We notice with pleasure that he has
been appointed on the Committee on
Corporations, one of the most impor-
tant and responsible committees in the
House.
The Court Proclamation, Trial
List, Application for License and y
Notice to Grand Jurors, relieving
them from attendance at Court, are
published this week. Up to the pres
ent time no business requiring the ac-
tion of grand jury has been brought
to the notice of the court, and hence
the notice referred to.
The ice in the river broke up last
night, but gorged in the islands below
and stopped. This morning. about 8
o'clock, the mass commenced moving
again, and as we write the river is full
of floating ice. The ice-breakers on
the bridge piers stood the racket in
fine shape, although some of the ice
was about twenty inches thick.
The news came to town yesterday
that Mr.. VIM. Hunter, one of the old
pioneers Of this place, had died at his
residence in Waterford few days
Stree. We are without particulars,
but will endeavor to get some facts of
his history for our next issue.
Senator John G. Hall of this dis
trict has our thanks for public docu-
ments. We had the good fortune to
meet him recently, and find him very
pleasant and accomplished gentleman,
and one who bids fair to make a good
representative in the Senate.
Maj. Mclaughlin, the wrestler,
had another bout with fresh victim,
in Chicago, few days ago, and broke
his antagonists collar bone at the first
fall. 1t is delightful sport, if it hap
pens to be the other fellow who gets
hurt.
Oil is down below a dollar now.
And the way some of our legislators
propose to bring it up to living price
is to tax it % cts. per barrel above the
selling price, and take mortgage on
the real estate in the Oil Region for
the balance.

Legislature, proposing tax on oil,
ald as a comparatively small delega-
tion from the oil region is there, the
matter has created no small amount
Of CONSERVATION among the oil men.
The Derrick of Monday, however,
quotes a section from the Constitution
Of the u. S., which forbids the taxing
Of exports and imports for State pur-
poses without the consent of Congress.
1t is to be hoped that the provision
quoted will suffice to kill the proposed
tax. The oil interests have never been
treated fairly by our State Legislature,
but the proposed tax would be adding
outrage to neglect. Certainly the Oil
Regions had promises enough from the
leaders of all parties last fall to see
that they are not impoverished for the
purpose of paying the debts of Ale
gheny county.
The boiler of locomotive on its
trial trip on the one-legged railroad, at
Bradford, exploded about 8 o'clock on
Monday afternoon, killing John Ad-
dis, brakeman; John Vaughn, engin-
eer; Geo. Gordon, conductor, and
Michael Hollern. Charles Shepherd,
ticket agent, Thomas Luby and Chas.
Logan will probably die of injuries
received. NJ. N. Allen, r. Fl. Ster-
rett and Oscar Shut were injured
slightly. The accident is attributed
to low water in the boilers. The boil
ers were old ones put into a locomo-
tive built for the road by Gibbs &
Sterrett.
Mr.. Criswell, who for a year or
two past has made the columns of the
Derrick blossom as the red, red rose,
with humorous paragraphs, and whose
productions were quoted throughout
the Union, has resigned his position on
that paper, to accept similar one on
the Cincinnati Enquirer. His place is
supplied by Mr.. Taylor, late of the
Call, who is all experienced aud able
manipulation of the pencil. The Der.
rick still continues to be the Organ of
Oil, and is as readable, as newsy, and
as reliable as ever.
-Jno. Wilos was hauling ties on the
ice from the foot OF Dustin Island to
the depot, for Geo. Morgan, on Mon
day last, and while coming up with a
load, the horses and sled broke through
the ice in the back channel, abreast
the middle Of the island. One horse
was pulled out without much trouble,
but the other WAS in the water about
an hour, and was badly chilled, be-
side having some skin knocked off its
legs. The sled sunk in about eight
feet Of water, but was got out all right.
We believe the horses are not seriously
injured.
The party at Tylersburg on Thurs
day evening last is said to have been
grand success. An upset or two Oc-
CURED, as usual, but nobody was hurt.
Everybody who attended speaks in

From the oxford Idaho Enterprise.

From the Oxford tldaho) Enterprise,
Hon Willard Crawford, district attorney fol
the southern district of Idaho, returned from
Il professional and pleasure trip to Soda Springs
and Bear Lake in the latter part of last week
and the Enterprise paid its respects to Mrs
Crawford and the Judge and while chit-chat
ting with them gathered up the fragments OF
several items of interest to our readers. y - -
But" SAID the Judge, producing some specl.
mems of natural organisations, when you GO
to Bear Lake you want to visit Swan Lake
which is about ten miles south of Soda Springs
on the Paris road. You can see sights there
more wonderful than at airy other place on
earth. Yosemite is no where in comparison
There is a lake on the top of a mountain, Gov
ering about one acre of ground, with Il rim
around it, like china washbasin, which slopes
off toward the centre inside Bend over the
rim of this lake and look down into its clear
cavernous depths, and you will notice full
grown trees-body, branches and all-in per
feet symmetry and entirely petrified or encrus
ted with substance which, without closer
analysis, we should pronounce carbonate OF
sodium and lime, Judging from the specimen
shown by the Judge.
These trees" continued he, seem to have
grown To their present stature before the water
found its way into the top OF this mountain
and after being covered with water became en-
crusted as we find them. ! reached down and
broke off piece of one limb, which you see is
thickly coated"
The inquisitive Enterprise representative
quered the Judge as to his opinion Of how
this lake came to be formed thus on the top of
a high mountain, where the rainfall is INSULT.
cient to supply one-tenth enough water to pro
vide for the evaporation natural to such body
of water, and he gave IL ss his opinion that the
mountain was formerly volcano, that after
the blowing out of the crater fountain or
spring had gushed out into the base of the
mountain and IN the course OF years had
filled it To the top, as we now find 1t. Around
the outside of the lake there is grassy meadow
several acres in extent, covered at this season
of the var with luxuriant growth of grass.
