BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

tLittelIs Living Age.1
Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if lark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed thore.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips arc those whose words
Leap from tho heart like songs Of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, and brave, and true,
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, il God wills it SO.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens Of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers Of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains few may guess.

The accomplished gentlemen who pre-
side over the destinies of the cable news
at the London end of the line seem to be
gifted with the most extraordinary faculty
for ferreting the stalest and most unin-
teresting information. Occasionally when
they accidentally stumble upon a genuine
bit ofnews, instead Of attempting to secure
the details of the occurrence, with the
most cheerful idiocy they weary out pat
fence with senseless opinions and m
grounded rumors. They seem to have
not even yet learned the rudimentary idea
of going to the seat of a happening to ac-
quire reliable information. Some of these
gentlemen should DE relocated to the
classic shades of the ncighboring black
smiths shops to acquire elementary in
struction in the art of newspaper writing.

Two OF the three morning newspapers

Two OF the three morning newspapers
in Omaha are clamoring for the forma-
ton of a vigilance committee to take sum
mary vengeance on the thugs who infest
the city. DIR. Miller, Of the Herald, who
does not even favor legal %hangings, is OPP
posed to the idea. If Omaha could only
scare up Il vigilance or other committee to
clean its filthy streets of the mud it would
prevent many mysterious disappearance
Of prominent citizens and at the same
time confer a priceless boon On a long
suffering and much enduring public.

\ DAKOTA newspaper establishme mt
was recently burned up in an incendiary
fire. A few days afterward the editor of
the paper, in giving an account ofthe con-
fagration, introduced his subject as fol
lows: Last Saturday while preparing
the forms for press feeling tired, about 6
O'Clock, p. IN, we decided to postpone the
printing of the paper until Monday fore
noon, - which would lead one to believe
that journalism in some parts of Dakota
pursues a wild and breakneck course.

standing aloof, and as a body have as yet

A member of an engineering party down
on the Rio Grande, below Santa Fe, writes
that while going from Albuquerque to Socorro
they often had 20 walk along the line of the
railroad for a distance of ten miles, picking
up splinters, bits of bark and chips dropped
while laying the ties, in order to get wood
enough to build n fire. A large section of
country there is absolutely destitute of wood
OF any kind. Finding n whole tie that had
been overlooked, they tied it on TO a donkey
and carried it along and used it more spar
ingly than water, which was also scarce.

TRAVERSE, Oak, December GA
spy has just arrived from Wilmot A
conference of one hundred and fifty men
was held in Mann's office in Wilmot, and
the chairman, while standing on the top
of the stolen safe, said hat the combina-
ton had been telegraphed for, and if it
was not received by Sunday morning the
safe would be blown open, and asked the
question; What shall we do if the books
are not in the safe?'' A motion was made
and carried, amid cheers and howls, to go
to Traverse and burn and sack every
building, and hang every man who was
found. Every man at the meeting was
armed with a Winchester and shotgun.
On the receipt of this news the Traverse
officers ordered the women and children
to leave town, and they are rapidly de-
parting. The mob is not expected to reach
here much before dark.
All buildings are being .barricaded and
men are out over the county for arms and
men. The force hal is in Traverse at
present Is rather small for such an emer-
gency, but the men who are on the
ground are well armed and will make a
desperate fight. All weakened people
have been asked to leave town, but none
have left. The men from the northeast
ern part of the county are coming to the
rescue, but they may not get here in time.
Governor Pierce will have troops here by
tomorrow evening, but they also may be
too late. The officers here are cool and
will make the most Of the circumstances.
Governor Pierce telegraphed to the Sher-
iff to call every man in the county to his
assistance, and note every one who re-
fused. The excitement runs high. The
county records have been secreted, and no
one, except the Register of Deeds, knows
where.

New YORK, December 2l.-An explo-
sion in Spratt's astral oil worksin the east
ern part of Brooklyn called out the whole
Fire Department of that city. The first
explosion commingled the fame of one oil
tank with the gas and the second tank
and a second explosion followed almost
Immediately. These two explosions made
free 10000 barrels Of oil, and all this
flaming mass, catching on to the river of
melted snow, was carried into every nook
and corner of the works. The result was
hat all buildings and tanks at the works,
excepting a large brick building in which
canning is done, were destroyed, besides
long docks on the creek. The loss will
reach between $500, 900 and 100000.
The shock of the two explosions broke
windows in all houses in the neighbor-
hood.
HUNTERS POINT, L. l., December %.
The fire at Spratt's oil works, Williams
burg, is still burning but it is believed to
be under control, though change of wind
might cause a further extension. No
more tanks exploded. The 6remen sue

cases on the dock and ware houses is still

were broken off in the disinterment. The
woman was apparently of middle age,

wYoMING,s MINERAL WEALTH.
The Territorial Exhibit Paralyzes the
People of Louisiana.
From the New Orleans Times-DemOcrat.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The world at large no doubt imagines
that Wyoming is an insignificant sort of a
Territory, but a walk through the space
assigned this commonwealth among
the State exhibits will soon disabuse the
mind of such a fallacy. The Territory is
preparing to make a display that will
challenge the world in the way Of admira-
ton. Mr.. Homer Merrill, the United
States Commissioner, is a gentleman who
fully understands the duties imposed upon
him, and lets no opportunity of putting
the Territory to the front to go by him.
Among the exhibits are large cubes of
coal weighing from two to five tons,
representing the vast fields of bituminous
coal for which Wyoming is famous, all of
which are u~ndevloped but yet rich beyond
compare. In iron ore the exhibit will
excite the credulity of the world, com
prising as it does specimens from the
famous Iron Mountain, which is 1850
feet high and one and a half miles in
length, which is accompanied by an oil
sketch and photograph. In addition, the
Territory shows the red hematite iron ore,
which is also used for painting purposes,
the Brooklyn bridge being painted with
it. This ore showed an analysis of 95 per
cent, and is also used for ~iuctuating sill
yer ore.
The Territory also shows two cubes of
sulphate of soda AKA feet in length. In
Albany county there are three lakes COW
ering 100 acres in extent, of this soda,
and in Carbon county five lakes of the
same character; and among which it is
claimed is the only lake of carbonate of
soda in the world.
In graphite ore the Territory makes an
extensive display, and of which they have
a large deposit.
OF kaolin the exhibit is large showing
the almost boundless capacity of their
fields. In copper ore, the Territory will
make a fine display with samples from
almost every quarter of the common
wealth. The exhibit also contains fifteen
varieties of petroleum, gathered from a
