a Remarkable Meteor.

The daily papers have told of a meteoric
explosion which occurred near Macon, Geor-
ga, and dispatch to the New York Times
gives graphic account of the phenomenon:
"Wednesday night, near II o'clock, there
occurred in this region phenomenon which,
for grandeur, has not been equaled since the
great meteoric shower of 1888. 1t was what
might be called a meteoric solitaire of the
first water. The city was asleep, and the
streets were almost deserted. The night was
very dark, but the skies were perfectly cloud
less and the stars were brilliant. Suddenly
an intense light lit the city as if by magic.
The buildings around, the trees, and even
ths leaves, sprang out of the gloom and quiv-
cred in the weird radiance that shone upon
us. The glow was different from any artifi-
cial light We have ever seen. 1t was not the
light of the sun or the moon, nor yet was it
gas-light. 1t was more like electric light,
yet winter and a thousand times more power
full. In an instant the trees around were
pictured on the ground, and slowly their
black shadows moved past our feet and
heightened behind us.
Involuntarily every face was turned up
ward, and a most striking apparition met
our view. Not II star was left, but directly
above, at the zenith, great mass of fire as
large as barrel whirled in the air. 1t re-
volved in the centre of radiance incompara-
BILE, and moved slowly down the northeastern
sky with majestic grandeur. At 450 eleva-
tion the light changed to brilliant red, pal
ed into saffron, and then into all shades of
green. As it began to change its hue it emit
ted particles or balls of fire that followed or
fingered in its wake. Surrounding it, also in
this stage. was dense vapor or smoke that
reflected all the colors through which the
ball had gone. At 3Oo elevation the light
went out, and we stood on the street, blinded
and awed. Three minutes glided away.
Exclamations of wonder and admiration had
been made, and fright had passed away, when
there burst upon our ears a deep toned boom
that rose and fell in reverberations for 80
seconds. This noise was similar to that pro-
duced by the firing of 1OO-ton gun 10 miles
at sea, with the echoes breaking irregularly
along the coast. The sound, however, had
mixed with it a metallic ring not heard in
thunder or explosions.

A Dried UP Lake.

Where at one time, says The Eureka (Nev.) }
Leader, was Ruby Lake there is now not a
drop of water. Seven or eight years ago this
sheet of water was from lS to 20 miles long,
and varied in breadth from half mile to two
or three miles and in a number of places was
very deep. The lake was fed by numerous
springs along the foot of Ruby Mountain, and
was the largest body of water in Eastern Ne
vada. For some years past it has been grad
ually drying up until it has at last totally dis
appeared No eanse for its disappearance
can be assigned. The Ruby range is consid-
cred tho largest and finest between the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierra Nevadas, and be-
sides being well wooded has been the best
watored range in Nevada.

Just Out of sight.

In idle reyerie one winters day,
watched the narrow vista OF street.
When crowds Of men with noisy, hurrying feet
And eager eyes, went on their restless way.
Idly noted where the boundary lay
At which the distance did my vision chest,
Past which each figure fading fast did fleet,
And seem to melt and vanish In the gray.
Sudden there came to me 8 thought oft told
But newly shining then, Ike fash OF light
"This death, the dread OF which turns cold,
outside Of our own fears has no strong hold;
'Tis but boundary, past which in white,
Our friends are walking still, 'just out Of sight"
"Just out OF sightl" Ay, truly, that is all!
Take comfort in the words, and be deceived
All ye who can, and hays not been bereavedl
"Just out of sight!" 'Tis easy to recall
face, voice. oh, foolish words, and small
And bitter cheerl Men have all this believed,
And yet, in agony, to death hkYe grieved
For one "just out OF sight beneath palll
Just out Of sight" 1t means the whole Of woe;
One sudden stricken blind who loved the light
One starved where he had feasted day and night ;
One who crowned to beggary brought low;
All this death doeth, going to and fro,
Aud putting those we love Just out Of sight"

Of which aIajor-Gsneral David

General Hancock delivered the

General Hancock did every thing
he could during tho affair TO aid tho

line of messengers posted from the
White House to the Jail in the
anxious expectancy that the Presi-
dent would show some sign Of re-
lcnting and at the last lnoMentili lis

Aaotl.er Letter from jane Leu,
JANE LEW, June %.

Editor Dem ocra..
Seeing that my former commun.
ication met with your appreciation
I will devote 4 few leisure moments
to my pen again. There appears
to be great tendency on the part
Of some of tho candidates not to
submit their claims to the Primary
Election, and tho Republicans are
urging them not to do SO, which ia
a scheme of theirs 10 defeat the
Democratic party. They try to in.
duce them to believe that they will
loose votes BY SO doing. If they
should not got q few votes that they
would get BY running independent
of the party, hope that they would
not get a single Democratic vote.
The Republicans have frequently
elected their candidates, notwith-
standing he was a Democrat.
1t is not a Democratic success
when mr. independent Candidate is
elected, but 4 Republican victory;
and with the decided Democratic
majority ofthis county should We
not support the party, and let it 60
out to the rest Of the State that We
will elect our candidates.
If every candidate who is truo
Democratwill submit his claims to
the Primary, and rally his friends
not only 10 the Primary,but also 10
the general election, twill insure a
marked victory for tho party, and
our brethren in adjoining counties
will not point TO us with the finger
Of scorn for supporting our antago-
nists.
The remarks of the editor of tho
Duckhnnnon Banner should be read
by every Democrat in this county,
and should DO carefully studied by
them; then they would know in
what esteem they arc held by the
party at large. When Democrats
go to q Convention with tho deter
inination to rule or ruin, they
should DO discountenanced by all
truo Democrats; and should be
given to understand that their ser.
vices are not required by the party,
and that such efforts Of disorgani-
zation would not bo tolerated.
There is in this county a faction
that's continually stirring up strife
in the party by attending conven-
itions; and#the only#tl tllingstllat
colnmends them is their peculiar
abilitysto misrepresentE the wishes
of=tho=majo Theyzhold the
same relative position that Kelly
holds, only on n scale that will not
compare with him. It would be
a blessing if God would in his in
finite mercy remove such men to
that Country from whose bourne
no traveller Ger roturns.''
Hoping that the much needed
reform may begin, and promising
more anon, ] ain,
Yours truly,
A DEMOCRAT.

No one accepts tho result Of the
Nominating Convention with more
apparent clieerfulness than Cover
nor Hendricks. lie characterizes
General Hancock as n man of do
cided ability, as shown by his adj
ministratiOn of affairs in Louisiana
and Toxas-an administration able
to make itself felt after the lapse Of
nearly IN entire generation. In
his judgment u man who has suc-
ccedetl so well in civil and military
administrations will not fall short
in Il high position. The nominN-
ton of Mr.. English was 10 surprise
to Mr. Hendricks, and he pronoHnc-
es him n very able man, who will
fill tho position of Vicc-lresident
with signal credit 10 himself and
tho National Democracy. In Gov
crnor Hendricks opinion, the ticket
is stronger tllun the opposition.
The charges against Garfield nrc oil
such IL serious nature that they cNn
not lie ignored; and in this respect
General Hancock is stronger than
Garfield, for nothing Of y similar
nature can be alleged against him.
IIc also pronounced Hancock
stronger against Grant, for Grant
was tliu hest man The Republicans
could !mve nominated; and had
lie been chosen, then it would
have been a soldier against
a soldier, III which the inferior oiEi,
ccr would not have prevailed.
