An Observers Notes on the Far.

Much Of my observation Is of course as yet tentative and uncertain. But oi the contour l may freely say that l am con- vinced by every one of many keen observa- tions that the man whose upper ear pro Jects and bends forward is invariably one who k either very tractable, or desirous of learning, or very diiigenL Such would be the qualities indicated from his habit of at tending or giving attention to what passes around him He Is quick to learn, easy to train, provided his hand is delicate and fa- cils enough 10 do what Is required of him Oa occasion
 On the other hand, the man whose ear buttons back 10 his head-is close to the skull in its tip and posterior margin, evinces opposite qualities Ho Is intract- able inattentive, needless; ho is accustomed Co hear, 1t Is true, but not to mind what he hears; to allow peoples cruel, witty, wise, and trenchant sayings to go by unobserved. Nevertheless, such a man may be handled, by reason of his being unobServant A good many excellent public servants have such ears. and must hAbitually be unOb- servant of many things, since 50 many un- comfortable affairs encompass anu engage them that they would become quite miSera- Ole were they tO heed them all
 The pointed ear is the ear of the turbu- lent, intraCtable man; who breaks out oc- casionally in an original vein, and who has his days and hours of uneasinesS The ear bounded in its superior margin by curved hno, is that Of the quiet, easy, amiabls man--Henry Clark in Phrenolos- ical Journal

The Sad Fate of q Camping Party.


 A week ago, a party composed of the Messrs. Otero, Misses Bradsy, Tetsrd and BOisliniere and Mrs. kirchner, started on trip to the upper Pecos to camp and fish for trout. The last hesri from shem was that they had penetrated the wilderness far beyond the attempts of previous explorers-snd they were last seen in a deep aud dangerous defle of she highest range, in a condition that torebOded the worst miselviDgs as to their safety. Whether apprehensive Of the threatening storms, or deslrOus of capturing the largest trout. that are supposed to inhaOit the highest noun tains. the party struggled on until their progress was arrested by impene- trsble barriers. It IS known that theIr provisions were well nigh exhausted, and the fact thst the unusual rains nave completely cut off their retreat for the present, make their friends solicit ous for theIr safety. lt Is hoped, how ever, that their burros wiii prevent st ,rvatIon. thorgh the dreadful alterns- tige O; consumIng their transportation and walking back, Or starving in the mountains, i5 horrible tO think Oti A strong relief party. with ladders and boats sufficient for either emergency of using them from trees Or carrying them over the creeks. has been dispatched. and strong hopes are entertained that 1t is nos too late to rescue them.-Las YsGas Optic.

Hcre. where the night Is changed Into a soitened glory, I see your faces ranged
 Like visions in a story Far as the night from me;
 Though near. since art has bound us By a sweet alchemy,
 While a dream-world lies around US: A world Of dream. yet real,
 Full of old love and sorrow, Full of the old ideal
 That poets call to morrow. Gods mercy we have hearts An there is moro than fashion In the mere play of parts
 And subtle tricks of passion; Our tears are oftsn-tesrs, Our idle words and seemings Sad echoes of dead years,
 Or fires from deeper gleamings.
