were full Of portents, and blazing

of Oriental pagodas. Two Of these
were much larger and brighter than
the rest, one ringing q merry peal

well east, and, as she thinks, over the
North Bonanza. Her Interpretation
was that the larger stars marked ore

ones those of inferior dimensions.

But even the foregoing was not con-

and told to look. She saw mighty

that this was the Comstock, As the
procession, with its immense host,
passed, she was told to look again;
and this time the back of tho woman
was visible, and seemed a sort Of
skeleton oil veins and arteries, great

the undiscovered veins OF silver yet
hidden from view; and the number
was great, and some were of enor,

what We Mean by a BOOM"

This word, now in such common use
by all classes of politicians and trades
peoples, and used to signify that politics
are in ferment and trade rushing, was
probably used in the time of Noah, If
not anterior to the date of that old patri-
arch. We do not care, however, to in
vestigate Noah's record, nor to ascer-
tain Just what words were in use about
the time he was gathering his great
family into the ark, but having once
got them all safely in, and the doors and
windows closed, it is quite safe to as
sumo that when he heard the rushing of
the mighty waters, and felt the ark ris-
ing with the tide, he could not but, if
he did not, exclaim, there was a big
"boom on somewhere! Here are some
definitions of the word which we find
in w Nebster, Worcester and elsewhere: (:
BooM--To rush with violence. as a
ship under press of SAIL Webster.
She comes booming down before it.
Totem.
The bittern booms it in the reeds
Cotton.
And even Tennyson in one of his
poems says:
At even the beetle boometh
Athwart the thicket lone.
Our own Washington Irving, in one
of his fine descriptions. speaks of
Alarm guns booming through the night air.
Hillfiouse, in one of his finest poems
speaks OF
The hoarse waves booming to the ocean shore.
Falconer, also, in one of his earlier
poems. says:
~ A. atata
When used by lumbermen, "boom "
is understood to mean chain of logs, or
rather succession of logs fastened to-
gether by chains and used in stream
to intercept logs in their passage down.
Worcester says:
BOOM-To rush with violence, as
ship under press of sail Nautically,
to boom along, means to move rapidly,
| etc.
We think we have given sufficient
number of definitions of the word TO
explain its full meaning, without deem
ing it ne essary TO inquire into its deri-
nation. 1t is certainly, just ut this
time, an expressive word, when applied
to business, for in every department and
in all directions trade is certainly rush
! ing along like torrent, like ship
under full sail before stiff breeze. and
its roar in this and other great COM
mercial cities is not unlike that of tenn
pestuous waves, when heard at n dis
tance, as they dash against some rock
bound shore. 1t is very good and
expressive word; will have its day as
one of common usage while the present
trade boom lasts; and, rs we have
shown its use by many distinguished
poets and prose writers, we feel like
resents force, Strength, flow, vigor,
energy, and all that, and SO does trade
and commerce at this time. Let then
boom !-CoaL Trade Journal.
