The Ozark Qax" of 1880.

The so-called clark day" was May
10, 1850. Beginning suddenly at ten
o'clock in the morning Of that date,
which fell on Friday, an extraordinary
darkness, for which no scientific eXpla"
nation ever has been given, enveloped
all Of the New England states. The
sun was blotted out as if by local
eclipse, without even corona showing.
The chickens went to rOost, the birds
flew to their nests and the cattle went
to their stalls. So complete was the
darkness that people we're unable to
make their way about the streets with
out lighted fagots. This condition con-
tinued until midnight, no stars or moon
being visible. The belief that the
earth was doomed to destruction
spread far and wide. Heavy thunders
crashed from dense massed banks OF
clouds, without any accompanying
lightning. and thick, gummy, black
rain began to fall.

Conversation.

Talk is common; conversation Is
rare. Henry Thoreau has written :
"When our life ceases to be inward
and private, conversation degenerates
into mere gossip. We rarely meet a
man who can tell us any news which
he has not read in a newspaper, or
been told by his neighbor and, for the
most part, the only difference between
as and our fellow is that he has seen
the newspaper, or been out to tea, and
we have not. In proportion as our in
ward life fails, we go more constantly
and desperately to the post office. You
may depend on it that the poor fellow
who walks away with the greatest
numbers of letters, proud of his ex-
tensive correspondence, has not heard
from himself this long WHILE"

The Boyar.

The word boyar is the name of a
dignity of old Russia conterminous
with the history Of the country. ORR
ginally those who bore this dignity or
honor, who were called boyars, were
the intimate friends and confidential
advisers of the Russian prince, and
the superior members of the order
we're his bodyguard, companions and
champions. The order became divi1-
ed into two classes, the elder and the
younger boyars. Later the boyars be-
came the chief members Of the princes
duma or council. AS time passed they
became a military caste, and Refer
the Great transformed boyardom into
something resembling an aristocracy
Of western Russia.
