A SHOWER OF LIGHTNING.
London Times.

.... London Times.
Our Geneva correspondent writes under
date OF June Goth: .H5as srs.. ...
"a remarkable electrical phenomenon
occurred at Clarens on the afternoon Of
Thursday last. Heavy masses OF rain
clouds hid from view the mountains which
separate Fribourg from Montreux, but their
summiis were from time TO time lit mp with
vivid flashes Of lightning, and heavy thun-
der storm seemed to be raging in the val
lsys Of the Avants and the Alliaz. No rain
was falling near the lake, aud the storm
still appeared far off, when tremendous
peal Of thunder shook the houses of Clar-
Gus and Tayel to their foundations. At the
same instant magnificent cherry tree near
the cemetery. measuring metre in circnn-
ference, was struck by lightning. Some
people who we're working In vineyard hard
by saw the electric fmd play about little
girl who bad been gathering cherries and
VAS already 80 PAGES from the tree. She
was literally folded in sheet of fire. The
VINE dressers fled in terror from the spot
In the cemetery, six persons, separated in
TO three groups, none Of them within $50
PAGES Of the cherry tree, were enveloped in
a luminous cloud. They felt as IL they
we're being struck in the face wiCh hail
stones or fine gravel, and when they touch
ed each other sparks of electricity passed
from their finger ends. At the same time
a column Of fire was seen to descend ia the
direction Of Chatelard, and il is averred that
the electric fluid could bs distinctly heard
as it ran from point to point of the railing
of vault in the cemetery. The straugest
part Of the story is that neither the little
girl. the people in the cemetery, nor the
vine dressers. appear to have been hurt 4;
the only Inconvenience complained Of being
an unpleasant sensation in the joints, As II
they had been violently twisted, q sensa-
ton which was felt with more or less acute.
ness for few hours afterward.
The explanation of this phenomenon Is
probably to be found in Prof. Colladon's :
theory of the way in which lightning de
scends, as described in letter on the Of,
feet Of lightning on tree printed 10 the
Times of May 18Th. The Professor con-
tends that it falls in a shower, not in per-
pendicular fash, and that it runs along
branches of trees until it is all gathered in
the trunk. which it bursts or tears open in
its effort to reach the ground. In the in
stance 10 question the trunk OF the cherry
tree is completely shivered az If lt had been
exploded by a charge of dynamite. A part
OF the shower which destroyed the tree fell
where the little girl was standing. but, dis
tribut over the grass, left her unharmed,
and was 80 disseminated in the cemetery

rrc rain descended escaped without serious
injury" ......-

zee amid the fields Of Ayr
Aplowman, who In foul or fair.
Sings at his task.
20 clear we know not II It is
The laverick's song we hear, or his,
Nor care TO ask.
For him the plowing of those fields
more ethereal harvest yields
Than sheaves OF grain:
Songs flush with purple bloom the rye;
The plovers call the curlew's cry,
Sing IN bis brain.
Touched by his hand, the wayside weed
Becomes flower; the lowliest reed
Beside the stream
Is clothed with beauty; gorse and grass
And heather, where his footsteps pass,
The brighter seem.
He sings OF love. whose fame illumes
The darkness OF lone cottage rooms;
He feels the force,
The treacherous undcr-tow and stress,
OF wayward passions. and no less
The keen remorse.
At moments, wrestling with his tate,
His voice is harsh, but not with hate;
The brush wood hung
Above the tavern door lets fall
Its bitter leaf, Its drop OF gall,
Upon his tongue.
But still the burden OF hrs song
La love of right. disdain of wrong;
Its master-chords u
Are Manhood, freedom, Brotherhood;
Its disccrd but an interiuds
Between the words.
And then TO die 70 young and leave
Unfinished what he might achieve
Yet better sure
Is this than wandering mp and down.
An old man In country town,
Infirm and poor.
For now he hannts his native land
As an immortal youth; his hand
3uidss every plow;
He sits beside each ingle-nook
His voice 10 In each rushing brook,
Each rustlinS bough.
His presence baunts this room tonight,
A form Of mingled mist and light,
From that far eoart.

Welcome this vacant chair 10 thine,

Incredible that such hagrant wrongs
