The wonders or the WorId.

Joaquin Miller in the independent
To me the grandest poem on earth
is night in a deep, half tropical forest.
There is nothing so mighty, so Mil
tonic as this, the myriad voice at
night. When l was living in the
Southern Sierras one of your greatest
preachers came that way. | by
chance got to talking to him of the
voices and noises high up on the
mountains. He was honestly amazed.
lie said he thought the world silent
in the wilderness but he would find
the world very much awake if he
would spend a night high up from the
habitations Of man. He was resolved
to see And so, with two blankets
and two pistols, some bread md bot
tie Of provisions, We climbed up the
steep, timhefed mountain. a mile
above any habitation. We spread
T0ur blankets under a mighty tree.
We saw the day fade and die on the
far snow peaks, and its ghost came
down in darkness and covered us with
its wings. The first thing we heard
was a great, black bug that came
buzzing along. 1t struck the tree
and fell down on the doctors blanket.
Nothing dangerous in a bug. The
doctor was delighted. He caaght il
up; classified it with a Latin name
big enough TO kill it; put a pin
through it and resolved TO keep it as
a specimen and trophy of the night.
Suddenly, far across on the other
mountain side, there arose the howl
| Of 100 wolves then 1000 wolves high
upon the mountain-top made the
woods tremble. The doctor was not
a bit frightened. He only sat up
closer to me and whispered gently
that he thought it was going to rain.
Then a broad-Winged bird, a black
owl struck in the boughs above us, as
u he meant 10 tear down the tree.
l am subject to rheumatism, said
the doctor, " and | don't want to get
wet" Then there came a crash A
great grizzly bear that evidently had
business in somebody's hog pen, tore
through the bush and woods on his
way TO the settlement. Possibly the
doctor wanted the bear for a specimen
also, for he sprang up, forgot his bug,
and started for the nearest house. He
should have waited to see the moon
come wheeling up and out Of the
Sierras; white and vast as the snow
peaks she laid her broad, bare shout
ders to the white clouds, TO hear the
far, faint call of the night-birds, the
beasts-the thousand notes in the
/ poetry and SONG Of nature at night.

That timber in considerable ouan-
tity and of substantial value is daily
found floating on the surface of the
river opposite the city is well known ;
but that large deposits Of timber lie
sunken at the bottom of the river at

a fact that will by no c be so

is the case, and daily she timber is
brought to the surface by gangs of

appear to be literally covered with
timber, and during the past two
months a number Of men in canoes
and provided with chains and Crap

IN bringing up the logs and Heating
them ashore, where they are hauled
away by horses and piled for sale.
The timber consists entirely of white
oak and walnut. 1t is estimated that
the most of it has been in the rive
from thirty to forty years, and has
formed portions of the numerous
timber RATS that, in transit from
the West to Quebec, have been wrecked
or damaged in or above the Lachine
rapids. The length of time it would
require even so dense a wood as white
oak to become sufficiently soaked with
water as to sink to the bottom of the
river and cause it there to lie as a
stone warrants the belief that it has
been there at least during the period
named. Our informant states that the
timber is in a most perfect state of
preservation, the action of the water
or insects having in no way impaired
Its texture Or affected its value. Some

The Presidents Political Speech.

Special to Cincinnati COMMERCIAL
WASHINGTON, September 8.-The
Presidential party left this morning
for Ohio aud a Western tour. During
his visit to Ohio the President will
take occasion to make a speech of
some significance on National topics.
1t will be short, but contain much
meaty matter. The address was writ
ten out by the President just before
starting, and has been read by a few
Of his intimate friends. He takes
very strong National grounds, criti-
cising severely the State rights doc
trine promulgated by the Democrats
in the last session of congress. A
gentleman who was permitted to read
the draft of the Presidents speech
says although short, it is very strong,
and will make something OF a sensa-
ton.

The chinese WALL.

An American engineer, who, being engaged
In the construction of railroad In China,
has had unusually favorable opportunities OF
examining the famous "great wall" built to
obstruct the incursions Of the Tartars. gives
the following account of this wonderful work
The wall lis 1923 miles long, IS feet wide and
Is feet thick at the top. The foundation
throughout is Of solid granite, the remainder
of compact masonry. AT intervals Of be-
tween 200 and 800 yards towers rise up 25 to
80 feet high and 81 feet In diameter. On the
top Of the wall and on both sides of it are ma
sonry parapets to enable the defenders to
pass unseen from one tower to another. The
wall itself is carried from point to point in q
perfectly straight line. across valleys and
plains and over hill, without the slightest re-
gard to the configuration of the. ground
sometimes plunging down into abysses a
Thousand feet deep. Brooks and small rivers
are bridged over by the wall, while on both
bapks of larger streams strong thanking tow
arc are n1anAd.

Miraculous cure or ParalytIc.


All the Jesuit papers In France are brlstling
just now with wonderful telegraphlc accounts
from Lourdes, relating miracles after mir
acles, apparently due to the admirable virtue
Of the holy waters In the grotto. Cripples
have been seen walking, invalids casting off
their crutches, blind men reading the Figaro.
The following miracle, however, which took
place on the road to the shrine, has not re-
ceived from the same papers the attention to
which 1t was entitled. A paralytic, In an easy
chair, had been placed on the pilgrim train.
At one Of the railroad stations there was q
change of carriages. and it happened that the
easy chair, with the paralyttc in 1t, had just
been put down on the line, when a train rum
ming from the opposite direction was sudden
ly seen bearing right down upon 1t. There
was a general stampede and cry of terror
every body thought the paralytic must be
killed, when to the intense establishment Of
all witnesses, he was seen to rise from his
armchair and walk off briskly, just In time
to escape the train. The mere thought OF the
holy waters seem to have been sufficient to
cure this pilgrim.

An Annamtte regularity.

Mr. Tremlett, the British consul at Saigon,
In his report this year mentions as remark
able popularity Of the natives OF the country
that they have the great toe OF each foot sep
arated from the others, like the thumb Of the
hand, and 1t can be used In much the same
manner, though not to the same extent. This
distinctive mark of an Annamite is not, how
ever, usually seen In the vicinity of Saigon,
but is now confined to the Inhabitants Of the
more northern section of the empire, where
the race has remained more distinct. This
popularity Is the meaning OF the native name
for the Annamite race and that the name
and popularity are Of great antiquity Is
shown by the mention in the Chinese annals
$500 B. c. as that Tor those of one Of the -four
barbarian tribes that then formed the bound
aries Of the Chinese Empire.

MIR. BUTLER's BLOODHOUNDs.
They Give an Exhibition Of q Very Mild Kind
Of Ferooity.
IN, Y, Times.l

IN. I. I1moSI
The announcement that Col. Thos. Butler,
OF Hamburg, s. O., would give an exhibition
OF negro hunting, with bloodhounds, drew
about twenty men and fifty small and ragged
boys to Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon.
The day was so windy and the attendance 50
small that Col. Butler determined not to give
a regular performance, but merely to bring
the dogs out for Q dress-rehearsal, without
charging any admission fee. AT 5 O'Clock q
colored man and twelve dogs were brought out
and the chase began. The colored man was
black enough to be genuine. but the dogs
kind that, could hardly frighten
C cnl 'ni Butler said said that at they were the
only kind ever used In the South for tracking
which was evident. they bayed continually,
and made great deal too much noise for
dogs that had any biting on hand. They
looked very sleek and neat and also looked as
Ii a man with good nerve and heavy pair OF
boots could easily overcome their alleged fe,
boy who was to be hunted was not his regular
boy, but that he brought him along, because
he knew how to cut the worms out OF dogs
tongues, to keep them from getting mad.
The colored boy Sam Britton, fine specimen
of a Southern darkey, took q run around the
park, over the grass, and then mounted, q
pony and rode short distance. Then he
took another run, bringing up at the big
gate, that mad broad board fastened
across the top from post to post. The
dogs hunted around 9 short time, found
the scent and followed It. When they ar
rived at the place that was, travelled over
on horseback, they were puzzled for short
time, but after awhile they found the trail
again, and made circuit to the gate. When
"Sam" saw them nearing him he climbed up
on the wide board and sat there, where the
dogs could not reach him. The ferocious
beasts stood underneath wagging their tails,
and looking as II they wanted something to
eat man came out Of a neighboring house
with green branch and pail Of water, and
handed the branch to the eolored boy. He
set the pail OF water on the ground, and In
half minute the dogs were SO busy drinking
IT that II Sam had been q fugitive slave he
might easily have walked away. Sam then
began to whip up the dogs with his green
branch, and Col. Butler, who walked up be-
cause his horse wouldn't go, said: Hiss
hiss hiss!" With this urging the dogs be-
gan to bark, then Col Butler blew his horn !;
Sam slid down from his seat, and in a mo-
ment the dogs were rubbing their heads g.
against him In the most friendly way. This
ended the exhibition. Col. Butler says he
will give two performances next week, when
the dogs will have chance Of tearing an
other unfortunate fugitive to fragments.
