The gentlemen connected with the
railroads and steamboats,, without an
exception, placed the excursionists under
lasting obligations. The trip was, there
fore more agreeable than it otherwise
would have been, perhaps; but lady of
our party, who has travelled in Europe
much, said that our trip through the
lakes and rivers had more real pleasure
for the eye than any she had enjoyed
abroad. The fact is this part of our
own country people ought to see before
going abroad. They would then be the
better able tosay understandingly "there

Getting Better Again.

We are gratified to state that the lates}
news from President Garfield is to the
effect that there is marked improve
ment in his condition and the physicians
are more hopeful. Just when they had
given up the case as hopeless change
for the better occurred and since then he
has been steadily improving and, while
yet his condition is critical, the chances
for his recovery are considered favorable.
This week he has partaken of more sub
stantial food and has experienced no
trouble from his stomach. His pulse
has been more regular than for several
weeks previous and he has had less fever
than at any previous time since he was
shot. Taken altogether the outlook is
very encouraging and the dependency
which was felt all over the country a
week ago has given place to feeling of
cheerful hope. 1t is said that he longs
for removal and the physicians say
that should he continue to improve ar
rangements will be made to send him
either to Long Branch by rail or trip
down the river on the TallapOOsa. The
President would like to be removed to
Mentor and 1t may possibly be that his
desire in this respectsnay be granted, as
when once upon the cars, he could be
taken there as easily and comfortably as
to any other point. We hope to be able
next week to announce more marked
improvement and that all danger is
pasted.

The comet that has recently dis
appeared has no place in the history
of the past. Astronomers conclude
that it was a new visitor The learned
star -gagers did their best to reach
chemical analysis of the late celestial
visitor, and they claim that comets
are deficient in the element of car
bon; and from that discovery has
arisen the statement that, as carbon
is a necessary element to perpetuate
the life of man and animals here on
the earth, its absence in comets in
dicates absence in other heavenly
bodies, and therefore there cannot
be living beings on the great planets
and worlds that float in space. There
does not seem to be much convinc-
ing argument in such statement.
Science is great thing, and chem
istry is a great discoverer of the con-
stituent elements of things and the
why and the wherefore OF many phys
ical combinations, but it has never
been able to ascertain the cOmbina-
tions that hold planets and comets IN
their orbits SO closely that their rev.
olutions may be counted with math-
ematical certainty.
Then, again, the materialistic car
bonic gentlemen forget that there is
an old book in existence that clearly
relates that the earth has often been
visited by beings in human form, that
delivered messages In human Ian
guage to human beings. They have
forgotten that angels have visited
this earth from somewhere In space,
and that their visit here clearly dem
onstrated that neither carbon, nitro
gen or hydrogen are necessary-ls
the compound is understood In the
earth to their existence; neither
were they subject to the laws of
gravitation, and atmosphere. Whence
come the angels Where is their
abiding places Who is it that will
say that because the element of car
bon cannot be detected in the head
or tail of a comet that therefore
there can be no life on the planets or
on the orbs that revolve in space ?
We look for a wider range of intel
lectual vision and expression from
learned astronomers and chemists,
than Just what is seen through tel
escope, and counted by mathematical
rules, and combined or analysed in
fires of the crucible.

NEVADA CITY. Nevada, Aug. s.
The most destructive fsod in the history

almost unearthiy roar TO the west, and
almost instantly 3 volume Of .ster, be-
tween four and FIVE feet. came rushing
down Nevada aud Eureka streets, taxi
ing everything by surprise. Heavy
quartz teams standing on the streets
we're overturned and carried down the
stream like feathers. Rocks weighing
five or six hundred pounds we're rolled
along the streets like pebbles. and ani-
mails ana everything in the track OF the
food we're swept away. La an incred-
ible short time the streets we're cleared
of people, everybody seeking shelter
During the food large masses ofdebris
we're carried through the streets at tie
rate OF about fifteen miles an hour The
whole length Of the gulches, from Ne
vadsville on Que side aud the bead OF
Eureka on the other, presents to night
the most desoIate scene imaginable.
The rosdways are entirely destroyed,
in many places the ruts being 5 or 6
fee, deep aud extending for hundreds
of ards. Their entIre lengths, for about
three miles, is strewn with debris of
every kind. At several points between
Central and Black Hawk the debris is
piled twenty Eve feet high. Eureka

mass of rocks ami rubbish On Moran
street four feet of sand is deposited.
The f,od was caused by the bursting
of a rain cloud. The entire west end
of the city was flooded, the natural
channel of the stream becoming dam
med, turned the water INTO the streets.
The only loss of life known at present
Is that of Joe Gerry. whose body was

ANYTHING that is produced in large
numbers can be sold at lower rate
than when produced in small guam
titles. This holds as good in the
raising of grain as in the manufac-
ture of goods, as may be learned
from number of estimates made by
Mr.. Dalrymple, of Dakota, who owns
the largest cultivated farm in the
world, having $4,000 acres of land
under the plow, he claims that he can
lay down wheat, under ordinary cir
cnmstances of cultivation, in New
York at sixty-six cents per bushel
and have living profit remaining.
Freight rates having ruled low for
several months. wheat could be placed
on the Liverpool market, according
to this calculation, at fraction over
seventy cents bushel. 1t has been
repeatedly shown that the actual cost
of raising a bushel of wheat in Great
Britain is from S125 to S1.5O, show
ing conclusively why the exports of
American grain have increased so
rapidly since the agricultural inter
ests of the western States have begun
to grow.
