Facts For the CuriOus.
FOURTH OF JULY-1S8O

The greyhound runs by eyesight only,
and this we observe as fact. The car
rler pigeon flies his two hundred and fif-
ty miles homeward by eyesight namely,
from point to point of objects he has
marked; but this is only our conjecture.
The fierce dragon fly, with twelve thous-
and lenses in his eye, darts from angle to
angle with the rapidlty of a flashing
sword, and as rapidly darts back, not
turning in the air, but with clash re-
verslng the action Of his four wings. and
simultaneously calculating the distance
OF the objects, or he would dash himself
to pieces. But in what confirmation Of
the eye does this consiste No one can
answer. .s@
a cloud of ten thousand knats dance
up and down in the sun, the minutest In
terval between them, yet no one knocks
another headlong upon the grass, or
breaks leg or wing, long and delicate
as these are. Suddenly amidst your adj
miration of this dance, peculiar, high
shouldered, vicious gnat, with long, pen
dent nose, darts out of the rising and fall
ing cloud, and settling on your cheek,
inserts poisonous sting. What possessed
the little wretch to do thisg
Did he smell blood in the May dance?
No one knows.
A carriage comes suddenly upon a
flock OF geese on a narrow country road,
and drives straight through the middle
OF them. A goose was never fairly run
over nor duck. They are under the
very wheels and hoofs, and yet somehow
they contrive to flap and waddle of.
Habitually stupid, INDECENT and heavy
they are nevertheless equal to any emer-
gency.
Why does the lonely woodpecker.
when he descends his tree and gees to
drink, stop several times before he takes
his draught2. No one knows.
How is 1t that the species of ant. which
is taken in battle by other ants to be
made slaves, should be the black or me-
gro anti No one knows.
The power ofjudging OF actual danger,
and the free and easy boldness which re-
suits from it, are by no means uncom-
mon. Many birds seem to have most
correct notion Of guns range, and
whl.e scrupulously careful to keep be-
You'd 1t, confne their care to this caution.
The most obvious resource would be to
fly right away out of sight and
hearing, which they do not choose
to do. And they sometimes appear
to make even an ostentatious use of their
power, fairly putting their wit and clever
ness In antagonism to that Of man, for
the benefit of their fellows.
We lately read an account, by natur-
alist in Brazil, of an expedition he made
to one of the islands of the Amazon to
shoot spoon bills, ibises, and other Of
the magnificent grallatorial birds which
were most abundant there. His design
was completely bamed, however, By
wretched little sandpiper that pre-
coded him, continually uttering his tell
tale cry, which at once aroused all the
birds within hearing. s..
All the day this individual bird cen
tinued his self imposed duty Of sentinel
to others, efectually preventing the APP
proach of the fowler TO the game, and
yet managing to keep out Of the range
of his gun.

look here, Mr.. Meade, Tom has spelled
out Fourth of July II red, white and
blue flowers. Sure enough. There
were the letters growing out Of the ground.
each letter being made of several verbe-
mas put together IN order like the follow
ing
FOURTH or JULY-1S8O
The letters, six in number, which com
posed the word Fourth were in red
flowers, and the two little letters Of the
word "of" were in white flowers, and the
four letters of the word July were in
blue flowers. The matter OF arranging
the colors was not hard to do, as VERDE
as are of many. The figures ss188O,,
were in pink. But while the visitors
were looking at the tsFourth Of Julv,,
motto, Tom was watching Oracle. Ora
cie's eyes had found sometime Of inter
est in another part of the garden. and
she was looking that way.
uSee!" said Oracle, after awhile,
there's my name spelled in geraniums.''
Running over to the spot al which
Oracle had pointed, the children saw the
following pink letters:
s'GRAcIE.' e
Everybody admired the geran1ums
very much, and soon afterward everybody
mad good laugh, when Tom showed
them how he had spelled his own name
IN green cabbage IN his garden. he had
taken the cabbage plants up from his
uncle's garden and transplanted them.
After admiring the gardens part Of the
morning, during which clumsy Will Ross
stumbled over some OF the verbenas, and
Knocked the blue letter ~" off from SUI
ly,'' all went to the grape arbor-in the
shade OF which thy played till dinner
tune. Tom got great deal Of credit for
his work, and was hero all day. He
felt repaid for all his trouble, but when
evening came, there was great treat in
store Tor them. Uncle John had sent to
the city of Frederick, after seeing the
flowers in the morning, and had bought
some fire works. The fireworks, crackers,
Roman candles and sky-rockets were
very pretty, and the children shouted I'M
til they were almost hoarse. But Uncle
John kept the best till the last.
Now, Tom, said he, calling the chill
dren together on the lawn, s:You have
spelled Gracie's name in flowers. see
how will spell yonr name in the sky.''
Every eye was turned upward. By and
by Uncle John touched the thing in red
paper, and the word Tom appeared in
letters of fire away up towards the stars.

Cotton.

Cotton has history dating back thou
sands of years. Herodotus. 1874 years
before the birth Of Christ. SAYS that the
ancient inhabitants of India wore gar
ments made Of cotton. The muslins Of
India have long been celebrated for
their wonderful beauty and extreme
fineness OF texture. In the first voyage
OF the Spaniards to this country, they
found the MeUcans and Peruvians cult
waiting cotton and using it largely for
the manufacture Of clothing. Corten
sent as presents to Charles Y. mantles
and goods Of all colors made Of cotton
by the Mexicans.

GUYS DISAPPEARANCE.

As little Miss Bertha Finch came
down the village street to the railroad
station in high wind, with that dry
brown hat of hers curling up acutely on
her head, and a glimpse disclosed of the
sweet pink face which she carried bent
down against the dust-clouds, you might
naturally have thought Of arbutus bios
SONS in their pale brown leaves. She
was SO small and young, and flower-like
and shy. AS remembered her, she
seemed to be looking down half the time,
or else it was only that she was so short
as to make lirect glance into her eyes
no easy matter; so that when she looked
into ones eyes she had to turn her own
upward.
Yet she could be saucy, too. There
was good deal of independence about
this small slip Of womanhood, in spite Of
her shyness, her pathos, and her tiny fig
ure. Bertha" her mother once remark
ed, "is as set as cat, if she chooses to
be, and you can't tell why she takes
cat does thus and SO; but when she's
once got a notion, she acts it OUT
And she had taken whim, this par
ticular day, to go to town by the rail-
road that went poking around the coun-
try in tie neighborhood of Glyddon as
informally as pillow, running such mild
little trains up and down, that Bertha
felt as if all she had to do was to call out
"Gee-whoar' to the engine, and it would
obey her.
The whim of taking the cars, however,
was a mild one, compared with her
freak Of few days before. Not to put
the reader in suspense, will state that
she had refused proposal Of marriage
from Guy Atlee, reasonably good and
promising young man, who had been to
the high school with her in earlier days,
and proposed now to graduate from the
position OF u bashful lover to that of q
proud husband.
Guy had a position as clerk in the
postofice and chief store of Glyddon,
while Bertha's father was a not very
well-to-do farmer; SO that the young
man had the argument of worldly pros
perity on his side. But then he might
lose his position; and somehow, Mr..
Finch, although he lived in rather
broken-down old house, was always i'm

Twas after glorious battle
In the swamps Of the Rapidan,

A wounded and helpless man;
But could well bear my torture,
Gaping gashes and broken bones
heard such delightful music
From Yanks with their means and groans.

They shot my father and son;
90 always aimed for killing,
And carried loaded gun.
The firing and crashing of battle,
Inc hot charge and the warriors CRY,
Loft, high-heaped, drenched earth with victims,
And the wounded who begged to die.
Far off we could hear the roaring
Tell Of the raging Of murderous men;
We could only have fearing or hoping
That our side might the victory win.
We had marched to the fight In the morning;
I fought until forced to stop;
Now, was hungry and thirsty,
With never a bite or drop.
thought Of the old-time dinners,
With many Christmas feast;
Now, Of the wasted fragments
I'd have snatched for the very least.
thought Of the sprayful fountain
That played by my fathers door;
thought Of the wild-rice bayou
That oft my canoe ghded DER;
thought Of the mighty river,
The plantations flowing through;
thought Of the distant heaven
That sendeth the rain and dew
But these were all empty fancies,
Which even increased my thirst,
Until in powerless longing

Suddenly. in the thick darkness

Suddenly, in the thick darkness,
weak voice made me Of angels think;
1t said, "Halloo here, Johnny,
Would ye be afther takin' dhrink 2"
I was almost a-dying,
And could not even raise the tin cup,
30 the friendly hand Of the stranger
To my lips then raised it up
Sweet, sweet was that drink Of water;
never drank sweeter draught,
For life was gained from that bounty

Our hands met in tight, tight clasp.
Suddenly, in my living fingers
Limp, nerveless grew his fainting clasp.
I spoke and intently listened,
But never a word he said,
And sadly knew another
Spirit from that red field had fed.
The surgeons and helpers were busy;
lay until morning-fght,
And then to my -dimmed vision
Was slowly revealed this sight:
A soldier had found canteen,
Dropped there in the thick Of the fight,
And he, with two balls through his body,
Dragged himself to me in the night.
"U. ST." on the blood-stained gold band,
And saw that he was brother
Against whom had raised my red hand.
He was Union and Irish-
Lightly DER him rest the sod
The blue that he loved above him,
His spirit gone home to God.
Oh men may fight like devils,
AS if hell Oh earth doth reign;
But deep in each human bosom
Some chords eympathize with pain.
Thank God for the noble pity,
Darling like electric thrill,
Inspiring kinship-emoton,
Bidding evil passions be still.
Oh! comrades, ye know our distresses
Wherever the fever breathed;
Soon over the death-marked threshold
The funeral flag wreathed.
Tongue never can speak the horror
Growing blacker day by day;
Pen never can write our anguish,
Nor times waves wash the record away.
Oh comrades, ye know our distresses
Made all humanity sad;
And, hurried down from the Northland,
Rich bounty we freely had
The North gave us money, with nurses
And doctors noble and true;
Drugs, provisions, and clothing
The North did a ! she could do:
Anhonor to sincerest virtue,
The spirit of Bayard the Good;
TO the chivalric North all honor,
Who showed to us truest knighthoodl

There is no change to report in the situation OF
affairs in the mining share market to-day. Dull
ness is the prevailing characteristic. If anyone at
tempts to anticipate the opening OF the new Mining
Board and starts little boom in his taVorite

quantities sufficient to stagger any ordinary opera

Green Mountain stock. with offers TO sell
it at 8 ON sellers option of 80 days.
THIS frightened some timid holders into
