THE NIGHT SEEMS LONG.

The night seems long my Father. Shadows rise
And Ozark across my pathway fail;
There is no light Of dawn in Orient skies
And sorrow shrOuds me like pail;
The Stars of Faith and Hope SO dim have grown
OH rift the gloom and send the radiance down.
The morn was fair seen with glad childhood s
eyes
A world of sunshine love and howers
Not sweeter was the bliss Of Paradise,
Az onward fled the swift winged hours;
At noon reYeled in the shunshine stiil,
And felt no prcscience Of the twilight chill.
am so tired, my Father The rough path
Is strewn with wrecks OF love long gonei
I scarce can lift my dim and weary gaze
To watch the coming Of the dawn.
OH let me lean and rest against Thy heart
Till glorious day shall break and night depart.

How Indians Catch Eagles.
Colorado Letter to a n. Y. Paper.

NplVi tluo lAntbcl " q ~ T. 1 apGis
Among our Indians the most highly
priced article of adornment is eagle
feathers. They not only use them for
making head dresses and ornament
ing their blankets, but use them as
money in the purchase of fire. water,
tobacco and other necessaries of In
dian life Among the Blackfeet the
mode Of catching them is interesting.
After holding an eagle dance the
"braves" repair to the mountains,
where each digs pit and covers it
lightly with reeds and grass. A piece
of tough buffalo meat done up in a
wolf skin is laid on the pit. After the
sun has risen the eagle swoOps down,
alighting upon the wolf skin, which
he begins to tear. The Indian who is
concealed in the pit reaches out
stealthily, seizes the bird by its legs
and drags it into the pit, where he
brushes its breast with his knees. The
return of a successful party is the oc-
casion of great rejoicing, and the
plumage of our bird of liberty graces
the top knot of greasy Indian buck.

The Tornado Season.

The meteorological conditions IN
the west aud south for the past two
days, for the first time this season,
very nearly approached those favor~
able to the genisis of tornadoes. Varl-
Gus theories OF the birth of the lorna
do have been advanced. Mr.. Slas
Bent, of st. Louis, holds that when
the cold, heavy northerly wind of the
Mississippi valley encounters the
warm southerly current, the former,
owing to its greater specific gravity,
wedges under or underruns the light
south wind, and is thus placed be-
tween the warm earth below the still
warmer south wind above, and, feel
ing tie impulse of its Increasing tem-
perature, begins to expand but, oe-
ing still pressed onward by its own
volume in Che rear, at last finds a
weak spot 10 the stratum above, when
the fatal vhirl originates in the branch
thus made. This theory is undoubt
eddy in accordance with physical laws
and observation. The death dealing
storm of the central valleys is formed
only when great thermal contrasts
exist within limited areas. Yesterday
at the same hour the thermometer
read as low as 81 degrees in the Upper
Missouri valley and SO degrees in the
Lower Mississippi; the contrast on
Saturday was still more striking 30
degrees at st. Louis and 90 degrees at
VIcksburg. Fortunately, so far this
spring but few, if any severe whirl-
winds have been reported in the south
and west. But from present in6ica-
tons the truce between the tornado
breeding elements can not long be
maintained. The Western meteoro-
lOgists should be or the lookout for
tho periodic development of tornadoes,
and renew their efforts to forewarn
threatened districts of their approach.

PLEASANT VALLEY.
Beautiful Snow" as Seen Down
There.
Correspondence of TEE HERALD

Correspondence OF TEE HERALD
At the present in Pleasant Valley the
snow is about four feet deep on the level
1t has been storming for the past few
weeks and the poem entitled "The
Beautiful Snow" is not very popular.
The conductor on the branch road said
the author of that poem would never
write another on the same subject, if be
had to run train for one day in Pleasant
Valley during the winter time. Once
when a train was showed in and a
prominent official was picking
snow by lamp light he was asked
what he thought of the poem
entitled Beautiful Snow" to which
he replied eff l had that fellow here
he would never have the privilege of
writing another"
Mr.. Editor, it's no use to write poems
about Beautiful Snow, " for the people
of these regions. When man has to
shovel through a five-foot drift every
morning, then wallow through 1t to and
from work, then carry water and coal
and perform all similar labor when half
buried, such poems do not produce plea
SAINT thoughts. AS laborer remarked
the other day, at will do for those who
have nothing to do but sit by nice fire
in a warm room, and read books, sur
rounded by geraniums, and all that sort
o. thing, but for US poor creatures it's
no good" Let the poets write
something about hot things mot
too hotl if they wish to strike
kindred cord in this region.
Let them write about sunny climes,
orange blossoms, bananas, sun-burnt
ankles, etc., or to come nearer home,
bright fires, warm blankets, good din
ners, and hot drinks. Any poet falling
short of this, need not apply here for
a situation.
OF course, fault-finders are never sat
isfed with anything, not even finding
fault. The weather is too hot, or cold,
wet or dry, to suit them. On the other
hand, some are contented. One says.
"This horrible snowI" The other says,
"ft will make water for irrigation next
summer" Next summer, when the sun
is shining brightly. one will find fault
with the heat, while the other will say
that it is good for vegetation. When the
season is Cry one will grumble at the
dust, and the other will be glad that it Is
no worse. Then when it rains one will
feel sorry because of the mud and
the other will rejoice, because the dust
will be laid. Thus live the happy and
the miserable.
Where 1 am, where l can hitch to a
light sleigh and furl the robes around
two pairs of shoes, then let the beautiful
snow fall in downy silence; and while
the grumbler sits beside the fire finding
fault with the fresh air and reading his
poems about orange blossoms, sunny
climes and hot cakes, may the merry
sleigh-bells die on his ears in the dis
lance, while the music of 1.-The Beauti-
full Snow" runs like silver thread
through the throbbing breasts of two
happy souls. PHoNZo.

BRIGHTON, January "a, 1885.

BRIGHTON, JdnOdIy ~ 1000.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
The conversation between your re-
porter and myself has been taken up
by some of the other newspapers of the
CITY. but they seem to misunderstood
the meaning and subject of the CONVEX
sation. want everybody to under
stand that our canal is not an elephant
on our hands. We have a good canal
and in better condition than it ever has
been. and when our present assessment
is worked out it will bring down ample
water for all who are now interested
and who draw water from it.
also want TO say, to ease the minds
OF the Tribune folks, that the church has
neither land nor canals on this side of
the river; therefore has no scheme to
hatch. l will also state that there is as
much land owned on this side of the
river bv Gentiles as there is by Mormons,
who would be benefited by the water
being taken out as prope sed. Now, it
is a well-known fact that there were
thousands of dollars lost in grain and
labor, last spring, by the overlooking of
the river from the Brighton dam. to
where it empties into the Salt Lake, a
distance of about twelve miles, doing
damage all the way, and even where the
banks were built high enough to keep
the water from overhowing, the ground
along the river is so porous that when
the water is high the seepage alone
would destroy a great deal of the land
and make it unfit for cultivation; there
by destroying the interest of the county
as we'll as those Immediately con-
cerned. Land certainly would be worth
less if it was under wa.er, and the value
Of property would be so reduced that it
would be loss to the county as well as
TO the private individuals owning it.
Now, the proposition to open channel
through the old sloughs is very good
one and would answer the purpose of
draining the river first rate, but there is
no place where the water through that
channel could be utilized or taken out
on land to do any good. On the other
hand, by taking it through the Brighton
canal, there are thousands of acres of
land north and west of Brighton which
could be irrigated by the water so taken
out, and DO vast amount of good and
also increase the revenue of the county.
We, the people living in Brighton,
would like to see the whole valley under
cultivation, and that can only be ac-
comphshed by getting the water on the
surface OF the ground. And am con-
Vlnced that if the county would make a
move mo- IN the matter the people owning
ene iand on both sides of the river would
+alse nearly enough money and labor
oe benefit equally to those who had
TOO much water and those who have
none at present. And again the ex-
Hen.se tor the right of way would be very

THAT CANAL SCHEME.
The Tribune" Sees in 1t a
BugabOo.
BRIGHTON MANS OPINION.
,o Project is Very Feasible and Can
he Worked out by CO.
Operation.

oirce the mention of an interview of
HERALD reporter with one oil the
-,nol mea of the other side of Jordan,
tbe papers of this city have had their
cav about the project, and in one or two
Instances have spoken of it with favor.
But the Tribune, an organ which can
saeDo good in anything even remotely
ooDnected with the Mormon people, or
which will in anywise benefit COM
,,unitv in which Mormons reside, has
its usual nonsensical objections to in
ternose, and urges its usual bugaboo
yarn of a church scheme to hatch on
the west of the river. But people who
are conyersant with the matter and
know the situation of affairs in that
locality, Gentle and Mormon, will
laugh at the ignorance the scribbler on
the sheet named displays when he tackles
the subject and puts forth the idea that
the Mormons are going to "gobble" up
al fine land out west, because as much
land IS owned by Gentiles as by Nor
mons. if not more. Therefore, the fling
Of the Tribune will be taken for what it
IS worth.
The following correspondence, upon
the subject gives a plain statement,
which can not be misunderstood:
