1T SHOULD BE STOPPED.

1t strikes us that it would not re-
quire very tastidious mind to feel the
modification of living in a town where
the nights are made hideous with the
demoniac yells and senseless howlings
of either half drunken buns or BRAIN
less scamps. whose only marks of dis
tinction are an empty head and ca
pacious bucal cavity. If they had as
much brains as an ordinary chimpanzee
they would certainly know that though
their sense of enjoyment is of such a
degraded stamp that they enjoy hugely
such wild screeches and pandemonium
yells as were heard Saturday evening,
that people of ordinary minds and hon
est, industrious habits like. and, in fact,
require, at least. a few hours sleep, es-
pecially after laboring hard for whole
week. But imagine the feeling of dis
gust and chagrin that must take pos
session of an honest-minded, well-dis-
posed, peace-loving citizen as when the
hours of rest come, the caterwaulings
of whole barn-yard full of cats are
entirely outdone by a chorus of discor-
dant whoOps which could only impress
one that Sitting Bull and Spotted Tail,
with their wholepalnted, feathered and
fire-watered gang had struck the place
and were holding high carnival. We
think that the village authorities should
look after these matters and teach such
aspiring geniuses that cooler" is
built purposely to hold just such low
lived, contemplate sneaks as are men-
toned above.

NATURES WONDERS.
The Big Spring Near the Village
of Palmyra, Wis.

The rare wonders of nature are some
times found in remote, quiet, comparatively
unknown parts of tie earth. Although seen
and admired by thousands of visitors from
abroad, one OF these wonders of nature, near
the little village of Palmyra, in jefferson
County, Wis, is unknown TO the great
majority of the citizens of this and adjoin-
ing States.
1t is better known simply as tie Big
Spring, although recently named by an en-
thusiastlc admirer from one Of The twin
cities the Aurelian Spring.
Before venturng description. OF necessity
feeble, of its marvellous beauty | will quote
the simple language of admiration of the
Rev. Robert Collyer of New York, who
gazed into its lmpid depths from time to
time during portion OF the summer Of 1873.
Said he: II have travelled through Europe
and the United States, yet | never saw its
like. 1t is one of the most wonderful works
OF the Creator
The spring is in the midst of a most unat-
tractiye marsh, not, however, difficult OF
access, because OF the improvements of man.
1t wells up suddenly at your very feet, a
vast pool Of living water, varying from ten
to twenty-five feet IN depth, clear rs crystal,
confined within natural wall of rock, from
which long sprays of messy trailing vines,
Of a variety Ii found elsewhere, float in its
pearly waters. Through this depth OF TWEEN
clearly as if but few inches interviewed.
Below the water is depth of six feet of
bubbling, boiling quicksand, evidently gov
erned by tidal laws of its own, with an ebb
ana flow and power quite capable of forever
engulfing the unwary in its depths, while at
the bottom of this quicksand is an unseen
rock of unknown thickness and crystal
color, from which detached portions, worn
by the constant actions OF tie quick
sands, have been recovered. Tie SHIFT
ing color of these quicksands is tue
most wondrous marvel Of all, caused by
the reflected rays of the sunlight through
this depth of clear water. They vary from
the delicate shifting color of the opal to the
feet every tint of tie rainbow in one rapid,
changing simmer OF color, varying their
tinge with the suns altitude.
Drop pin into this spring So clear is
the water you can see its descent until it is
lost in the boiling sands beneath, where its
light weight gives a sufficient impetus to set
them boiling and seethiDg in a new form
and direction. Drop a marble, button or
penny into the spring and the effect on en-
tering the Quicksand Is beyond description
1t requires but little stretch of Imagination
to conceive the whole a vast witches cal
droD, with the genli of the place ready to
emerge at any moment from the cave within
the rocky side of the spring, ready to plunge
the unweary to remotest deDtas below, or to
believe the traditions that the Indians wor-
shipped this spring as the home of the Great
Spirit Observation-Disclosures Wisconsin.

at Harvard College, his father being Rev.
Horatio Alger. well-knOwn Unitarian
minister who for many years was pastor of
the church at Natick. Mass. When he was
IS he began contributing short stories to
local papers which won him considerable
distinction, and at the age of 20 he be-
came editorially connected with the Boston
Daily Advertiser, but, making the discovery
that his incinatiOns leaned toward story
writing, he resigned and devoted his entire
energy TO that undertaking, contributing
among other publications, to Harper's Mag
azine Harper's Weekly, Putnam's Maya
zine and the North American Review. In
1866 he removed 20 New York and was led
to study the peculiarities of the street arabs
of the metropolis. among whom he
passed mn h of his time. and soon he
formed the acquaintance of Johnny Nolan,
a b0otblack, through which he undertook
the story of Ragged Dick" which at once
lifted him into the front rank as writer of
stories containing juvenile characters, all
Of whom were real boys and whose expert
ences were gained by personal acqunint-
ance. The series Of that title comprised six
volumes. of which the publishers have circu-
lated in the neighh0rhood of 30.oG0 sets. or
10000 volumes. Will. wiring his street
life stories Mr.. Alger has made friends with
hundreds OF urchins and studied life from
their point OF view. He has always main
tanned that under our free government, in
dustry. honesty, frugality and enterprise
may lift any boy, however poor or humble,
to prosperity and prominence. These
principles he has ever tried to impaIt to his
youthful readers, and never did the boys
have truer friend than the author OF
Luck and Pluck" He is a bachelor
and has filled the gap in his career
caused by q lite of single blessed
ness by adopting three outcast boys,
whom he has educated and set up in bust
ness, while those who have enjoyed his
cheerful words ard encouragement, linked
with material and substantial aid may be
counted by the score A man who for more
than a quarter of century has entertained
the American youth in stories which have
placed manlness and integrity at a pre-
MUM, while deprecating evil ways. and
whose exemplary and temperate life has
been living model for the boys with whom
he has come in contact, is public benefac-
tor, and there is no tiattery III referring to
these circumstances during his lifetime.
Mr.. Alger makes his home in New York,
but usually spends the summer in travel,
having made two extended tours of Europe
and twice before visited the Coast, one of
his California stories having been written in
the Grand Hotel some thirteen years ago.
Some of his principal stories have been re-
printed in England, and two are now being
translated into Russian by gentleman at
Odessa for publication next year in a Pc
riodical printed at st. Petersburg.

MRS. THEODORE F. PAYNE,


Who was Miss Pauline Coleman, sister of
the Hon. James V. Coleman and niece of
the late William OBrien, the millionaire,
was married by Cardinal McCloskey to
Theodore +. Payne, son of Theodore Payne,
the old Californian, whose death occurred
over twenty years since. Mrs. Payne is
an affable lady and charmingly agreeable
cOnversationaiist She has mania for the
collection of pierres de fantasia, or fancy
stones, which ale found principally in Au-
vergne, France, and in the Py renees. She
owns some rare. specimens of "Olivines," a
stone belonging to the garnet family. Her
collection of sapphires includes some mar
velously beautiful stones of pink, blue yell
low and green. She is also the possessor of
an "Alexandrite." This peculiar s.one re-
ceived its name out of courtesy to the late
Russian flag, for it is green in the daytime
or when in shadow, and red when the d.
rect rays of the sun or of an artificial light
fall upon it. Rarely is it seen at its best
advantage, in consequence OF its radical
defects of structure, as 1t is fiawed with
crevices which defeat successful cutting and
polishing. Siberia was its place of dis
covery.
Not only because of their beauty, but be-
cause of the history and interesting nature
of these stones does Mr.. Payne prize them.
The Paynes live in beautiful house on
Suffer street, between Franklin and Cough.
The exterior is marked by numerous bay
windows. The tower and logga, stone
steps, solid oaken doors, inlaid floors, grand
halls, spacious halls. cocobola. ebony, an
tiQue oak, art glass, delicately tinted walls,
are all factors in producing an impressive
and artistic whole.
Much of the summer is passed By the
Paynes in their country home in San Mateo
County.
