BALD MoUNTAIN ON A TARE.-A
special from Ashville, N. c., says
that on Monday section Of Bald
Mountain, one half mile square, slid
off into the valley with crash that
shook the earth and frightened the
Inhabitants for miles around. The
terror was as great but not so long
continued as four years ago, when it
was expected that Bald Mountain
would become a volcano. My explain
alton is offered, but many specula-
lions are made. People are afraid
to venture upon close examination.

POLYGAMY BILL.

The anti-polygamy bill, which has
passed the Senate, certainly strikes
direc ly at the twin relic.' Its main
provisions are that no polygamist or
bigamist shall sit on jury in the
trial of any person for polygsmy or
bigamy that no polygsmist or biga'
mist shall be eutitled to vote or hold
office that all registration and cleo
ton offices in the Territory are de
clared vacant, and the functions of
these Offices shall be performed by
persons to be appointed by a board,
for which the act provides, until
other provisions shall have been
made by the Legislature of the Ters
ritory. The effect of the bill is, in
brief, to exclude poIygamists from
any and all connection with public
affairs, aud to keep them off of jur.
les in all trials for polygamy.

CONCERNING BEAUTY.

1t is mn admitted fact that genius and
beauty are rarely found in the same person.
The handsomest man of London society in
tho opening of the present century was
Count Dorsay, but he was i'll every other
point very inferior The chief soldier OF
the age (Wellington) was defonned by his
prodigious Roman nose Southey was also
distinguished for the same feature, which,
indeed, was of almost unparalleled extent
Pope was partially deformed, and, of course,
was n ready object for the caricaturist.
Hence he speaks of "fthe libelled person and
distorted shape.
Byron had n handsome face, but his club
foot was n crushing blow to his pride, and
the self-consciousness of such defect SEEM
ed never to abate This is illustrated by the
following incident; One night as Byron
and some friends left the theatre, one of the
81 link boys" volunteered to illuminate the
way, expecting the usual fee. This way,
my lord, " exclaimed the light bearer, utter
ing the title ut random. " How does he
know you are a lord z" asked one of the
friends. "Know me" asked the poet,
why they all know me; Pm deformed. J"
Walter Scott was man of fine personal
appearance, but he too, was lame (haying
been injured in childhood) and walked with
q peculiar limp. When Lady Blessington
first met him she exclaimed, " sir, have you
got hurt ~ Yes" was the reply. about
fifty years ago" Campbell, the author of
Pleasures of Hope" though small man,
was considered handsome, but his life was
failure and its miseries afford painful
contrast with personal beauty. II Is prob
able, however, that Burns was the nearest
approach to manly beauty that authorship
ever produced. Walter Scott. who met him
once, and once only, said that " his eyes lit
orally glowed," and added that having seen
all the distinguished men Of that age, none
of them had such eyes as Burns Rochester

for many years as warning against all
whistling in the mines which drives away

was mistaken. He was assured, however,
that it was very ominous, and that he might
expect some trouble TO befall him. That
