A Fourth Of July SnOw.Storm.

A remarkable meteorological phenom-
enon was observed in several places
in this city Friday afternoon. About
5 O'Clock flakes of falling snow were
seen by many, who could hardly credit
their senses. Sergt. Boyd, of the Sig
nal Service, happend to be out at .the
time and caught several of the flakes on
his sleeve. He says such thing might
not occur again in 100 years. He ex-
plains it in this way: Artificial snow
may be formed in a warm room, the
air of which has become saturated with
moisture from the breath or any cause,
by suddenly admitting current of cold
dry air. Shortly before 5 o'clock a
cloud was observed rising from the
south. At the same time another rose
from the northwest. The current of
wind which bore this along was cold,
while the opposing current was warm
and saturated with vapor. These two
intermingled, and the effect was to form
crystals of snow. The preceding heat
and dryness of the day also helped to
produce this result. The baromome.
ter was very low at the time, and the
thermometer dropped Is deg. in ten
minutes. The minimum temperature
Friday niget was 81 deg. This sudden
change was no less remarkable than the
8 low fakes.

A Great Russian Robbery.

In the city of Kherson a house, next
to the Government Treasury buildings,
was to let, and lady, about 40 years
old, under the name of Mrs. DR.. Mkt
tine, took il. on June 5. AS it needed
repairs, which the housekeeper would
not make, the lady herself en- gagged two
plasterers, who began work before she
took possession and continued it after
ward. The lady had a cook, young
woman with a child. There seemed
nothing suspicious about the party.
But on June % the officer entering the
vault of the Treasury found some trunks
broken open, and 10000 roubles
stolen. 1t was strange that out of seven
trunks there only the three which con-
tanned the most of the money were open
ed. Neither the tenants of the neigh
boring house nor the quasi. plasterers
could anywhere be found. Mrs. Mkt
tines house was locked, and when it
was broken into alarming discoveries
were made. In the kitchen floor there
was an opening capable of admitting a
man; beneath the floor was narrow
subterranean passage by which the
Treasury vault had been entered. The
passage connected with the outside by
the stove pipes, which apparently serv-
ed to supply air to the workers under
ground. The wall of the vault was
broken from the passage. In the house
the following articles were found: The
ashes of the plasterers' clothes in the
stove, small lantern, a crowbar, paints
for Disgusting the face, empty wine and
beer bottles, the remnants of cigarettes,
bottle of pepper spirits from the neigh
boring drug store, bologna sausages,
sardines and cheese
The neighbors stated that they saw
the lady leave the house on Sunday
afternoon about 2 O'Clock, and that two
unknown men, carrying bags, left in a
drosky on the morning OF the same day.
All the drosky drivers of the city were
at once summoned and closely question
ed, without any result.
1t was found that only bills of large
denominations Goo roubles and up
ward) had been taken, and that the
small bills had been put aside. The
Government papers had been left; but
the passport blanks, conscripts' blanks,
and internal revenue stamps were gone.
1t is apparent that the thieves were
aware of the contents of all the trunks
in the Treasury.

TOO LATE.

All, had we met in other years, ere my heart
had known
What tits to love, and trust, and lose, and find
Perchance it then had been my lot, as now 1t
can never be,
To make thy heart, which beats for none,
beat warm and true for me.
But now the shadows round my path are
gathering dark and grim,
The wind blows coldly off the shore the lights
are growing dim,
long through the night,
From love, from hope, from thee, my bark
goes plunging out OF sight
And so breathe my fond farewell, across the
dark ming brine;
Thy heart will never, never rest In love and
peace on mine
There Is no peace, fOrevermOre, IN eartn or
But, o, if this could once have been, how
lovely life would be!
see thee on the distant shore, in all thy gilt
tering grace
The sunshine streaming round thy form. and
hope upon thy face!
And l shall see those radiant eyes, and hear
that voice of glee,
Till kindly fate shall still the heart that only
beats for thee.
Nor storm nor darkness ere can dim the glo-
~ of that brow;
The light will shine forever there that shines
upon thee now;
And, passion tossed, and far away, upon the
sea of sin,
yet shall know, though lost to me; there was
heaven to wini
thought nor misery nor despair could ever
break the pride
That lets my heart reveal the love 1t can not
quench nor hide;
But lonely DER the wreck of youth It's fires
are burning yet,
And-would to God that had died, or ever
we had met!
William Winter.

SUMMER.

The sweet tongued birds once more awake
the wood,
And fill the silent vale with joyful song;
The verdant hillsides fondly now prolong
Enchanting sounds, that late 50 nolseless
stood,
A thousand sparkling streams, dispensing
good,
Adown the mountains glide, and glance
along
Into some lake, Or toward the ocean throng
Unto their fate, in seeming careless mood.
With foliage rare the stalwart forest king
And slender saplings of the grove are gay,
Beneath whose Shade the gentle zephyrs
sing,
And kiss the fiow'rs that beautify the way.
The sun, the sky, all that can gladness bring
Proclaim the presence of the summer day.

little "nest," where every thing was in
the most perfect taste and, as Dick said,
only waiting, as was the pleasant-faced
girl in the kitchen, for the mistress to
come.
"And for my special bridal gift, Daisy
my special present to you for your
own exclusive use-this."
And he led her back to the pony and
chaise, the rapturous tears so binding
her eyes she could scarcely see.
sob, Dick! Dick! l am not worth so
much!'
He kissed her as he took his seat be-
side her.
81 am the best judge of that, my
darling. Here, take the reins; Bess is
yours on one condition: that my wife
drives me to our dear little home in a
month" .....
And Miss Josie Gypsum actually has
the audacity to call occasionally on Mrs.
Dick and is profuse in her admiration
of Daisy's husband, while Daisy's moth
er and brother insist that they always
so honored Dick Kenneth-such a per-
severing, prudent, prosperous man as
he always was, such a model husband
and provider as he is.

The above comparison shows reduc-
ton of nearly 81 per cent. in the num-
Der of lives lost, and about "a per cent.
reduction in the number of accidents
causing loss of life. The increased eff
cheney of steamboat inspection service
is better shown by the following COM
parative statement: In 1875 the number
of lives lost on steamboats, was COZ; in
1876, S94; in 1877, 224; in 1878, 212;
and in 1879, 105.

The opprobrious epithet turncoat took
its rise from one Of the first Dukes of
Savoy, whose dominions lying open to
The incursions oe the two contendine
houses Of Spain and France, he was oblig.
ed to tempo.ize and fall in with that pow.
er that was most likely to distress him,
according to the success Of their arms
against one another. So, being frequently
obliged to change sides, he humorously
got a coat made that was blue on one side
and white on the other, and might be in.
differently worn either side out. While
on the Spanish interest he wore the blue
side out, and the white was the badge for
the French. From hence he was called

Distinguishing him from other princes of

On Corns.
BY A SCHOOL BOY.

Corns are Of two kinds-vegetsb'e and
animal. Vegetable corn grows in rows;
animal coru grows on toes. There are
several kinds of corns; there is the uni
corn, capricorn, corn dodgers, d4ld corn,
and the corn, which is the corn you feel
most. It is said, I believe, that gephers
