''Sunset."
The production which won for Mr..
Cox the soubriquet Of Sunset was
u piece of descriptive writing which
in the Ohio Statesman May
16, 1853. and was entitled "a Great
OldSunset He was in the COM
posingroom of the Statesman the
evening before, and witnessed pc
culiarly beautiful sunset. As the in
spiration seized him he picked up his
pencil, and, using u composing stone
for desk, hurriedly wrote the follow.
ing:
What q peculiar sunset was that OF
last night! How glorious the storm,
and how splendid the setting OF the
sun! We do not remember ever to
have seen the like on our round globe
The scene opened in the west with a
whole horizon full of golden, inter
penetrating lustre and frightened
every object into it's own rich dyes
The colors grew deeper and richer,
until the golden luster was transfused
into a storm oud, full of finest light.

zags all around and over the city.
The wind arose with a fury, the
shrubs and giant trees made obeis-
alce to his majesty. Some even
snapped before it's force. The straw.
berry beds and the grass plats turn
ed up their whites to see Zephyruf
march by. AS the rain came and the
pools and the cutters hurried away
thesthunder roared grandly and th'
fire-bells caught the excitement, ant
rang with hearty chorus. The soutf
and the east received the copious
showers, and the west all at once
brlghtendes up in long, polished
belt OF azure, worthy OF a Sicilian
sky.
Presently q cloud appeared in the
azure belt in the form Of q castellated
city. 1t became more vivid, reveal
ing strange forms of peerless fanes
and alabaster temples and glorles,
rare and grand in this mundane
sphere. 1t reminds us OF Words
worth's splendid verse in mis- ''Excur-
sion:"
The appearance instantaneously disclosed
Was of mighty city, boldly say
A wilderness of buildings, sinking far,
Aud self-withdrawn into wondrous
depth,
Far sinking into splendor without end.
But the city vanished only to give
place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared,
imaging paradise in the distant and
purified air.
The sun, wearied of the elemental
commotion, sank behind the green
plains OF the west The "great eye
in heaven" however, went not down
without dark brow hanging over its
departing light. The rich flush OF
unearthly light had passed and the
rain had ceased, when the solemn
church bells pealed, the laughter oi
children rang out, and joyous after
the storm is heard the carol of birds.

Signals of Savage 8.

As is well known, the Indians OF
our continent use rising smoke to
give signals to distant friends. A
small fire is started and, as soon
as it burns fairly well, grass and
leaves are heaped on top of it.
Thus Il large column of steam and
smoke rises. BY covering the fire
with u blanket the rising of the
smoke is interrupted st regular in
tervals, and the successive clouds
are used for conveying messages.
Recently, r. Andree has complied
Eotes on the use of signals by
primitive people, aud finds that
they are well nigh in universal use.
Recently attention has been called
to the elaborate system OF drum
signals used by the Kamerum ne.
groes, by means OF whieh long
messages are sent from village to
village. While it was supposed
that this remarkable system OF
communication was confined to a
limited region, exploration in the
Congo basin have shown that 1t
prevails all through Central Africa.
The Bakuba use la &c wooden
drums, on which different zones
ate produced by two drumsticks.
Sometimes the natives converse"
in this way for hours; and from
the Energy displayed by the drum
mers and the rapidity of the sue.
ctssive blows, it seemed that the
conversation was very animated.
The Gala. south of Abyssinia,
have drums stationed at certain
poihts of the roads leading to
neighhoring states. Special watch
men are appointed who have to
beat the drum on the approach of
enemies. Cecchi, who observed
this custom, designates it as "sys
TEN OF telegraphs." The same use
OF drums is found in New Guinea.
F.om the rhythm and rapidity Of
the blows. the native knows at
once whether an attack, death or
festival is announced. The same
tribe use columns of smoke of fires
to convey messages to distant
friends. The latter are also used
in Anstalia. Columns of smoke OF
different forms are used for signals
by the inhabitants of Cape York
and the neishboring islands.
These notes, which might be in
creased considerably, chow the gen.
eral existence OF methods of CON-
munication over long distances
the art of telegraphing in its first
stages of development.-Science

Facial Perception.

Mr.. w. II Levy, who is blind
says in his book, blindness and
the Blind" that he can tell when
he is Opposite an object and can
perceive whether 1t is tall o short,
or bulky. He can also determine
whether it be q solitary object or a
continuous fence; whether a clos 3
fence or open one, and some
times whether wooden fence, a
stone wall. or 81 hedge.
None of the five senses have any
thing to do with this perceptive
power, but the impressions are
made on the skin of his face and
by it transmitted to the brain. He
therefore names this unrecognized
sense Faciai Perception.
The presence of fog irterferes
with facial perception and makes
the Impressions faint and untrust-
worthy; but darkness is no lmpedi-
ment. A noise which distracts at
tenuon interferes with the impress
