The result Of the senatorial contest
1T st. Paul is better than could have
oeen expected under the circumstan-
2es. Mr.. Sabin, the senator elect, is
one of the ablest business men in the
State, and has had considerable expo
rience in the local legislature, which
will enable him mere easily to master
the details Of legislation in the
larger sphere of national legislation.
The election Of Mr.. Window, we
believe, was desired by large ma
jority of the Republican party in the
State, and his election would have
been for the best interests of the
State and nation. On account of his
long experience in public affairs, and
his wide acquaintance with public
men. he would have been able t.
exert larger influence than any new
man can possibly do, however able he
! may be. We hear it often said that
he has had the place long enough
and there are other men just as goo(
as he is. Of the latter statement VIZ
have no doubt, but of the former i
may he said that experience count!
for us much in public affairs AS i
doaA in business, and that the peopl,
"a whole desire the services Of hin
! who can best serve them and t. then
it makes no difference whether he hal
served one term or more, and it i:
only those who desire to excite sym
pathy for some fellow who wants tt
succeed him, or hopes to receive
from his successor some benefit in thu
way Of q place at the public crib
that make that plea. Nov
itX? seems to US that mar
should be elected to Office on thu
same principle that we would use il
employing men to do business, an(
not on account of any favor we NIGH
wish to do them, but to get the best
to do the work in hand; that is, a.
W would get the most experienced
attorney to do our law business, anc
in like manner, the architect, car
penter, bridge builder, book-keeper
etc., and when we do this the public
will be much better served than they
are at present.

Electricity and Storms.

The question of the electric nature
Of cyclones is question of fact, and
cannot be determined by balancing
opinions. Facts alone can decide, by,
proving or disproving that cyclones ere
caused by electricity. maintain Jnat
not only cyclones, but all the phenom-
ena of the atmosphere are electric in
their nature and character. The facts
upon which strongly rely and adduce
to prove the electrical nature Of cy-
clones cannot lie stated here, for they
are too voluminous. The substance,
however, is briefly as follows: A lumi-
nous or fiery cloud-spot is seen to de-
scend from the clouds, which is met by
a flash from the earth where the spout
touches. Simultaneous with the flash
everything free at the point struck ex-
pl0des into fragments, is carried clean
away, and generally hurled into the
clouds through the vortex. Likewise,
whenever an electric discharge takes
place, ozone in stihing quantities APP

and destroyed. Flashes issue from the
furniture in the houses. and sparks
from the walls. like from an emery

ceived in the daytime--and wave
like fame on the earth confronts the

flames, are electricity, and hence that
the whole phenomenon Is an electric

A WHITE HEART DIAMOND.

Mr.. Peter Pinto was perhaps one
OF the most enthusiastic of modern
collectors.
Far be it from US to convey the i'm
preston that he went around with a
pencil and pocketbook bulging full
Of papers in behalf of gas companies
and cheap coal associations. On the
contrary, he despised trade and all its
plebeian concomitants. He kept a
genealogical tree, and prided himself
On being distantly related to some one
Or other who had come over in the
Mayfower, and having a cousin who
had once known LOngfellow, the poet.
He read, studied high art and devoted
himself to the dream-world of the ideal.
His floors were carpeted with tiger
skins, dimly splendid draperies hung
on his walls and shut out what little
sunshine filtered through the medieval
glass Of his stained windows. He de-
lighted in moldy folios, rare editions,
grinning Chinese idols and masses of
charmingly ugly Eastern lacquer
work.
But the taste which had the strong
est possession Of his soul, and which
dragged most persistently at his purse
strings, was one for precious stones.
If it hadn't been for that, should
have been rich man long ago." sighed
Mr.. Pinto. "Of course can't indulge
in it, as should like-no man could,
unless he had the income of a duke.
But can aspire-I can aspire p
And as Mr.. Peter Pinto had in
herited snug little fortune from his
father, and fallen heir to the united
savings of several maiden aunts, he
had been enabled to prosecute his
caprice in no contemplate degree. He
owned an Eastern opal, black pearl.
pair of unapproachably-tinted
tOpazes, several peculiarly-shaped tur-
quoises and an agate with a human
face distinctly massed in its outlines.
Hekept his treasures locked in velvet
lined cases within the iron jaws of a
tremendous freproof safe, and prowled
around the jewelry stores, pawnshops
and secondhand repositories with a
perseverance worthy of Bruce's spider.
And when he became meditatiye and
inclined to be confidential he would
say:
al think if once l could gain pos
session of this white heart diamond
should be quite-quite happyw
But the white heart diamond had to
all appearance been withdrawn from
circulation. 1t was known only by
rumor. 1t had retired somewhere into
conventual secluson, and with un-
paralleled modesty declined to re-
appear.
That there had once been a white
heart diamond was proved by the con-
versation of grizzle-headed old lapi-
daries, who had grown crooked by long
sitting over magnifying glasses, and
the tales of retired jewelers. who had
made their fortunes long ago.
From all accounts it was stone of
medium size, but rare color and fire.

A SONG OF WAKING.

The maple buds are red, are red,
The robins call is sweet;
The blue sky floats above thy head,
The violets kiss thy feet.
The sun paints emeralds on the spray
And sapphires on the lake;
A million wings unfold to-day,
A million flowers awake.
Their starry cups the cowsIips lift
To catch the golden light,
And like spirit fresh from 81
The cherry tree is white.
The innocent looks up with eyes
That know no deeper shade
Than falls from wings of butterflies
Too fair to make afraid.
With long, green raiment blown and wet
The willows, hand in hand,
Lean low to teach the rivulet
What trees may understand
Ofmurmurous tune and idle dance,
With broken rhymes whose flow
A poets ear shall catch, perchance,
"A oSOAO VI nllcS D0lOW.
Across the sky to fairy realm
There sails cloudboin ship;
A wind sprite standeth at the helm,
With laughter on his lip;
The melting masts are tipped with gold,
The broidered pennons stream;
The vessel beareth in her hold
The lading of dream.
1t is the hour to rend thy chains.
The blossom time of souls.
Yield all the rest to care and pains:
To-day delight controls.
Grid on thy glory and thy pride,
For growth is of the sun.
Expand thy wings what e'er betide,
The summer is begun.

rather Of the saddest part of it, and you may

was born in the beautiful town Of Walpole,
Mass, my father had settled there long years
before and was engaged in general stere
business. Fife Lewis, the belle Of the place,
was one OF those idols which men worship
not only for their beauty but for the angelic
sweetness Of their dispositions. With fair
golden hair and eyes Of heavens own hue,
my father early fell in love and the union
which resulted was a happy one. Their hap
piness, in fact, was too great TO last. Two
years after they were married, during which
time was born, the great financial panic Of
1857 swept over the land, and every business
couse, no matter how small, felt the blighting
effects Of its scorching heath. Among
the many victims my father was no exception,
and after struggling against the storm for
time he was forced TO 20 under. He paid all
his debts, however, and, gathering together
a small pittance Of the comfortable fortune
which had once been his, he resolved to emf
crate to the West. 1t was about this time
that the newspapers were full OF startling
stories of the fabulous wealth Of the Rockies,
and pilgrims for Pixies Peak were contributed
by every town In the East. This, then, was
the place where my father would retrieve his
shattered fortunes. Bidding his wife and
baby an afiectionate farewell, he left us one
beautiful morning in June, and we never saw
him again. Months and years passed by, and
still no tidings from the dear one. My mother,
worn with anxiety and grief, finally laid down
her burden and / was left an orphan at the
age Of IA. One day a stranger called at the
house OF my uncle, who had cared for me
since my mothers death, and told us strange
story. 1t seems that my father, upon reach
ing st. Joseph, Mo-, which al that time was
the great Quitting point for parties cross
ing the plains, had joined a party bound for
Pixies Peak, OF which our visitor was one.
The company numbered 20 men with OK
teams and wagons and the camp outfit neces-
,ary. Nothing OF interest occurred during
the journey until when near its end, while
camping one night they were surprised by the
Indians and ruthlessly massacred, but one,
our informant, being left TO tell the tale. From
that time a restless spirit possessed me to
travel and visit the scene Of my fathers death,
and upon becoming Of age carried out this
idea and came to Colorado. In the intervals

several days hunting antelope, and when
some distance from the spot where the above
exclamation was made they had noticed on
the open plain white spot cleaning in the

object caught the eye Of the speaker, and

have fallen as is from some invisible blow.
After some little time had expired he partially
recovered, although still somewhat dazed.
