In Memoriam.
A TRIBUTE OF AFFECTION.
’1‘
A quiet life, a peaceful rest,
A monotone of,ca1m content,
With perfect trust that all were best
If only God the message sent.
In joy or grief ’twas all the same,
She only traced His loving name.
Traced His sure love in lines of light
Across hcr unobtrusive way,
Sought not for fame or pleasure bright,
But calmly lived each hopeful day;
A flower in sober tints arrayed,
Tint only blossomed in the shade.
With eager thirst at learning’s fount
She drank the waters pure and clear,
With timid steps she climbed the mount,
Where poets win their laurels dear.
Worshipped at Nature’s sacred shrine
With loving heart, a Power divine.
That treasure rare, a faithful friend,
In sunshine’s glow or sorrow’s gloom,
Steadfast, unchanging to the end,
Her love was, like fadeless aibloom,
Brightening the wayside path of life,
To soothe its cares and calm its strife.
And in her home, her quiet home,
Her loves and hopes all centered here.
0, ye who restless widely roam,
Seeking for woman’s grandest sphere,
Learn, one pure work to her is given,
’Tis to make home a type of Heaven.
Patient, unselfish, tender, true,
She strengthened, by her steadfast love
The faithful hearts who little knew
How soon God’s angel from above
Would summon from her home away,
The aged father's hope and stay.
So one by one our loved ones die,
So one by one our treasures fall.
Yet God shall join each severed tie,
For Christ’s sweet pity ruleth all.
And o'er the darkness of our night
Shall streamthe Resurrection light.

CORRESPONDENCE.
COLORADO.
SILVER ,Curs, April 18, 1880.
Enrrons Gaznrra z—At eight o’clock in
the morning I mounted the top of a Concord
' coach, drawn by six horses, at the McClure
House, Canon City, together with nine ’in—
side passengers, six outside riders and the
driver, making seventeen persons in all; and
took my departure for the Cliff. 1 The route
lies over two ranges of mountains, conse-
quently there is a gradual and continuous
ascent until the Cliff is reached, which is
thirty-two miles distant. It was a fine day,
just right for a ride on the outside of the
coach, and the finish of the trip finds you
very slightly fatigued, owing to the fact,
probably, that the coaches are very comfort-
ably arranged and your attention is so pleas-
antly occupied with the grandeur of the
scenery which is grand and varied. About
five miles out from Canon Cityvthe inalc pas
sengers have to alight and ascend a steep
mountain on foot for the distance of about
two miles, owing to the heavy condition of
the road, and on gaining a point at which we
again have to “mount," we are .enabled to
' secure a refreshing draught of cool water and
take a retrospective glance over the distance
we have traveled, and one can but feel‘en~
ruptured with what he witnesses, at the same'
time having an inclination to doubt his pres—
ence at such a high altitude. The atmosphere
is light and somewhat oppressive at first. and
some of the passengers were slightly over-
come with the exertion of the “climb.”
Again seated on the coach our trip is con—
tinued, and so pleased is the driver with the
ready manner in which the passengers walk—
ed, at his request, to ease the team, that “he
comes out of his shell,” as it were, and from
that time until our destination is reached, he’
is quite talkative, and for a couple of hours
his recitals of his adventures in driving over
the mountains are quite interesting, but a
sameness in the character of his “up sets"
' and “getting lost in snow storms,” gets mo-
notonous after that length of_ time. Next to
a fur overcoat and a wide brim white soft
"hat,the stage driver’s importance is measured
by the degree of profanity that he attains.
Measured in that light, “Frank Ensign,” (our
driver’s name,) is a success. When not en—
gaged in other conversation, he will talk to
his horses, and one can but mark the tender
manner in which he speaks to them when
they are not “monkeying it,” as he expresses
it. Butafaucied digression from his ideas
of horse propriety draws forth a string of
oaths upon .which you could hang yourhat.
Sitting directly back of him. we experienced
at times, when a wave of profanity wéuld
pass us, a degree of warmth that would sug—
gest a sudden change in the weather. Hav—
ing called to our mind the story of the im-
prisoned debtor, who was told by his lawyer
“that he could swear out of jail .in thirty
'days,'_’ and who informed the warden of .the
prison’ where he was confined- who inquired
the cause of a constant flow of profanity
from the prisoner’s cell the day following
his committal, “that his lawyer told him he
could swear out in thirty'days, but heroes
vying to do it in one day," we told the driver
of the Circumstance and gave him our opin-
ion that he could wear out in two hours. In
reply he said that “he was aware that he
swore some, but he reckoned I had never
heard a mule driver cuu.” I favored him
with my experience in that direction in the
army, and having learned that, he at once
plied me with questions in regard to the
subject, which I readily answered, and so
interested did he become that at one time he
actually omitted to swear for a distance of
nearly a mile. Thirteen miles out we strike
the station, where the passengers procure a
good dinner and our horses are exchanged
for four handsome large gray ones. They
take as seven miles to the next station and
six fresh horses are substituted, and with
these we make the remaining twelve miles
and draw up in front of the Powell House in
Silver Cliff at half-past three o’clock.
SILVER CLIFF.
The “City of Shanties” lies at the base 'of
a range of mountains called the “Sangre de
Christo,” and it is pronounced by all old
travelers to be the handsomest range of
mountains in this State, if not in the world.
They certainly present a magnificent appear—
ance, their snow-covered peaks seemingly, of
an exact height and with an equal distance
between them, extending from north to south
nearlyas far as the eye reaches. The Cliff is
a mining camp, pure and simple, and .is less
than a year old, but in that time has gathered
a population Of nearly six thousand people.
Every building is built of wood, and very
few of thw are but one story high, conse—
quently in the absence of paint, and viewed
from the top of the stageas you approach
the camp, it strikes you as an immense lum—
ber yard. Many good mines are located
here, and the “tenderloot” is beseiged by an
army of prospectors as soon as he reaches
the the Cliff, and “prospect holes" and claims
are offered you at very low figures, by the
owners who want to “raise a stake” in order
to go to the “Gunnison,” which is now the
“Mecca" of the miner. The “Bassick Mine”
is situated seven miles from here, and was
discovered by one Bassick, while on his way
from working on another mine to his cabin.
The “Bull Domingo” is four miles away,and
of this mine Hon. Wm. H. Barnum is Presi—
dent. Both of the above mentioned are con-
sidered among the best of thcpmines in the
State at present. An election for mayor and
other city officers had taken place two days
before our arrival, and the excitement had
abated but little. We were introduced to
the present incumbent, Hon. S. A. Squiers,
an old soldier in the late war, from Illinois,
and a worthy gentleman in every respect. I
. house. The judge was sitting in a chair
though not such a person as would be select-
ed for mayor of an eastern city, yet his bluff,
honest manner and common sense, made him
a great favorite with the miners, who consti-
tute a large proportion of the population of
the Cliff. He owns a large cattle ranche,and
has resided on the frontier for many years.
In personal appearance, he bears a very
strong resemblance to a charcoal vender who
used to visit Norwalk, in years past, but
whose name I do not recall, and whose Sat-
urday aftern00n matinees used to attract a
crowd on Main street in the neighborhood
of Daskam’s grocery. I am informed that
Mayor Rolf used to appear in the streets last
summer in a purely democratic style, in
shirt sleeves and barefooted, yet my informant
says that his administration of the city’s
affairs, while in office, were highly satisfac—
tor‘y to all parties. I attended the trial of a
resident of the Cliff, one day last week,
being led there by a curiosity to witnessa
full blown Western court administer justice.
The accused was charged with threatening
the life of his daughter, and the ease drew
alarge attendance at the court, which was
held ina large room in the fire company’s
tilted back against the wall, with a cigar in
his mouth. Lawyérs on each side smoked,
in fact nearly the entire audience were smok-
ing. Oratory and eloquence were dealt out
in a quantity to suit the utmost demand of
the citizens of the Cliff, and frequent ap-
plause attested the endorsement of the
crowd, as the defendant’s lawyers would
assert his innocence. The “Jedge”‘aunounc-
ed his decision,,of “not guilty,” and took 0c-
casion to say “I would have done just the
same as Haywood done.” Kaywood was the
accused, and is head violin player in a dancc
hall. Ex-Mayor Rolf was in attendance and
was-a strong sympathizer with the accused.
The verdict gratified the Ex Mayor, who
awaited the arrival of the Judge, at the rear
end of the ball when the case was closed,and
greeted him in the following language, ex—
tending his hand, which resemblcd a ham, as
the Judge approached: “Give us your corn
stealer, ‘Jedge,’ you're right, by l” The
election of Mayor Squiers insures an im—
provement in the moral character oerilvcr
Cliff, for which there is plenty of room, and
he has already made an advance in that di-
rection by ordering the gamblers and persons
of ill repute to close their places.
Yours occasionally,

“Dear Brother Grannis.”
A New York letter to the Baltimore Bul—
letin says: An editor has just been discov—
ered here, whose personality and'surround—
ings are worth mention. I allude to E. B.
Grannis, editor, publisher and proprietor of
the Church Union, a large quarto of the size
of the Independent, devoted to breaking
down sectarian walls. Grannis bought the
paper when it had 500 subscribers, and has
raised it to 10,000 and a valuable pipperty.
Grannis publishes the paper, edits it and can.
vasses for advertising, and does all-the heavy
work. In fact, Grannis has become a power
in the religious journalism of the country,and
receives scores of letters cyery day addressed
to Rev. Mr. Grannis, Rev. Dr. Grannis, D.D.,
Elder E. B. Grannis, etc., and beginning Rev.
or dear sir, or “Dear‘ Brother Grannis.”
Grannis, I ought to explain, is a woman—a
little, nervous, active, black-eyed woman,
who weighs about ninety pounds, but repre—
sents a hundred horse power. -
I asked hcr_,the other day: “Do all your
correspondents recognize you as a man ?”
“Yes,almost invariably," she said. “Most
of my subscribers, agents and contributors,’
think I am a man. The question of my sex
is nothing to them. I have men in my em—
ploy in every State, who always address me
as ‘Dear Sir. I have hundreds of minis-
ters on my books, and they all think of me
and speak of and to me as ‘brother.’ It
:eemed odd at first, 5. I have gotton used
0 it-
“What is the object of this disguise?” I
asked ,
“I have never intended to mask myself,”
she said, “but I have felt that if the paper
suited, my sex was nothing to anybody, and
that perhaps my recommendations and ar-
guments would seem weaker and less
weighty if it were known that alittle woman
uttered them. So I have never intruded
my womanhood on the readers of The
Church Union. Ithink it would not dis—
turb their confidence now." She called my
attention to a pile of letters on the desk,
almost all addressed to “Rev. Mr, Grannis.
Mrs. Grannis, 1 may add, has mustered Drs.
Duryca, Crosby, Burchard and four other
ministers into her service as assistants, and
with seven strings to her how, she manages
to do a great deal of effective work for “the
Lord and Gideon.”
Immigrant Statistics for 1879..
The annual report to the Commissioners
of Emigration showing the total number of
citizen and alien passangers landed at New
York doing 1879, was presented to Super—
intendent Jackson of Castle Garden recently.
The total number was 175,579, of whom
135,070 were aliens. This shows an increase
over 1878 of 54,220 in the total, and of
59,723 aliens. The countries from which

The Gem of the Sierra Mountains.
Lake Tahoe is. not appreciated by the pres-
ent generation as it should be, or as it will be
by the next and the next. The time is not
far distant when a railroad will encircle its
shores, and it will be studded with lovely
summer residences, cottages, villas, and
grand hotels; the resort. in the summer of
the wealth, fashion, wit, and genius of the
Pacific coast, and rival in its attractions
Geneva, Como, or Maggiora. It is said
there are thirty-two streams coming down
from the snow into the lske (the fishermen
call them creeks), ranging in dimensions
from the tiny brook to' the roaring torrent,
tumbling in cascades into Emerald-Bay. To
the tired, weary denizens of the plains of
California—oycr—workcd, and sick of the
summer heat, and dust, and smoke—nothing
better in the way of recreation, enjoyment,
comfort and health can be imagined than a
ramble among the streams and woods in
this region on perfect summer days one finds
here in J one, July, and August. The spec-
tacle of the full moon rising across the lake,
as seen from Tahoe City; the beautiful snow
flower, bursting out of the ground as the
snow melts, like a grand piece of crimson
wax—work ; the tree-feast, as Horace Greeley
called it ; the myraids of trout lake and stream
and many other objects, each and all of
which are worth a visit. - The purity of the
air and water cannot be excelled—Oalaveras

Dr. Carpenter states that the entire ab-
sence of sunlight on the deep-sea bottom up—
" pears to have the same efiect as the darkness
of caves in reducing to a rudimentary con-
dition the eyes of fish and crustaeca which
ordinarily enjoy visual power; and many
of these deep—sea inhabitants are provided
with enormously long and delicate feelers
or hair, with which they feel their way
about.
Recent experiments by two or threeAus-~
trian ,and German horticulturists have
brought into notice an almost forgotten plant
which was introduced into Europe from
China nearly thirty years ago. It is the Soja
hz'sphta, a leguminous plant someWhat re-
sembling the -well-known pea. The borled
‘ seeds of the plant form a_dish which is high-
ly relished by the Celestials as well as by
Europeans who have tasted it. The seeds
have also an industrial value, as useful oil is
”obtained from them.
Dr. Phipson seeks to solve ‘the problem of
a cheap household light by a new method.
With a comparatively feeble electric current
he greatly increases the phosphorescence of
certain bodies which are made faintly lum-
inous by the sun’s rays. In a Geissler tube
containinga gas ina more or less. rarefied
condition he encloses a phosphorescent body
——su1phide .of barium, for instance—whenthe
passage through the tube of a constant elec-
tric current of certain intensity produces an
agreeable light.
Many workmen in the St. Gothard tunnel
have died of a peculiar disease called tunnel
trichz‘noses, produced by a parasite in the
intestines.
Dr. Siemens has been exhibiting specimens
of fruit ripened by means of continuous
light—that is, by exposure to the sun during
the day and the electric are at night. The
contrast betiveen two pots oflstrawberrics is
very striking, the fruit being quite ripe in,
the case of the plant which has had continu-
ous light and yet green in that which has had
the sunlight only._
An extraordinary case is reported from
Hungary. A criminal was hung until pro—
nounced by the attending physicians quite
dead. As a scientific experiment, the body
was then subjected to an electro—galvanic
current, when, after a few hours, signs of
life became apparent. The convict soon
completely recovered his‘senses, but died the
next morning from congestion of the brain.

Vast deposits of carbonate of lime are
distributed over the globejin the form of
limestoncs, chalks, marbles, marls, etc.
Numerous and extensive as are these depos-
its, it is believed that they are all of animal
origin. The softest chalk and the densest
limestone are found to consist of the aggre-
gated shells or skeletons of myraids of tribes
of the lower animals, which existed in some
remote period of the world’s history. Coral
reefs are sea islands of carbonotc of lime
built up by minute aquatic animals and their
formation is an example of similar deposits
now being made.

According to a very general belief the toad
is endowed with a supernatural power of
existence which enables itto live for ages
without food or air, and the oft-repeated
tales of the ‘finding of live toads inclused in
a solid rock gain ready credence. Such
reports can have little foundation in fact.
Curious to learn the actual extent of vitality
of this reptile, Dr. Buckland enclosed twen-
ty-four healthy toads in as many air tight
calls of limestone and sandstone—the lime .
stone cells being considerably larger than
the others. On the 26th of November, 1825.
the stones and their tenants were buried in
the doctor‘s garden, where they remained
until December 10th, 1826, when they were
disinterrcd. All the toads in the sandstone
cells were dead, and had probably ,been in
.that condition for sometime. Nearly all the
toads in the limestone cells were, however,
alive. One or two had'actually increased in
weight, which shows that some opening
must have existed in the cells,through which
insects and air gained admittance. The toads
which were found alive were again buried,
all died during the second year of their im—
prisonment. These experiments seem to es—
tablish conclusively the fact that even the
toad cannot exist fer a very extended period
without air and food. It is therefore, pretty
safe to assert that living toads are never
found in solid rocks.

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to' some of the important advantages
o_ur, Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
lst. Our “PATENT Ixsrnn BOLT Worm”
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being bring on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-serew,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by sim ly removing the thumb-screw.
3d. Whi e other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four—wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR—WHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED rxera,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, togethe
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre~
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing wallsot timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Bos‘ton fire our Safes had
the champion rccord,.as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed, those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges,and strengfi-
erred them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one ‘elass
of Safes, which is the best we know. how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalog'ue.

They Couldn’t Trade.
Kcyser had lightning rods placed upon his
barn three or four years ago, but during last
summer the building was struck by lightning
and burned. When he got the new barn
done a man came around with a rod wagon
and wanted to sell him one of Bolt & Bur-
nam’s patent rods.
“No, I believe not,” said Keyser; “I had
lightning rods on the other barn at the time
of”__ '
“Yes, I know,” exclaimed the agent. “I
knew you had, and very likely that’s the
reason you were struck. Nothing is more
likely to attract lightning than worthless
rods.”
“How do you know they were worthless '2"
“Why, I was driving by here in the spring ~
and I seen them rods, and 1 says to myself,
that barn’ll be struck sometime, but there's
no use in trying to convince Mr. Keyser, so I
didn’t stop. I knew it because they had iron
tips. A rod with iron tips is no better’n a
clothes prop to ward off lightning.”
“The man. who sold them to me said they
had platinum tips,” said Keyser.
“Ah! this is a wicked world, Mr. Keyser.
You can't be too cautious. Some of these
yer agents lie like a gas—meter. It’s awful,
sir. They are wholly untrustworthy. Them
rods was the greatest fraud I ever see. A
regular gouge. They want worth the labor
it took to put ’em up. They wa’nt now,
that’s the honest truth.”
“What kind do you offer ?” .
“Well, sir, I've got the only genuine light-
ning rod that’s made. It’s constructed on
scientific principles. Prof. Huxley 'says it’s
sure to run off the electric fluid every time.
Twisted charcoal iron, glass insulators, eight
points on each rod,warranted solid platinum.
We give a written guarantee with each rod.
. Never a house struck since we began to
offer this rod to the public. Positive fact.
The lightnin’ll play all around your house
with one of ’em, and never touch it. A
thunder storm that’d tear the bowels out of
the American continent would leave your
house as safe as a polar bear in the middle of
an iceberg. Shall I run you up one i"
“Well—I don’t know," said Keyser, mus-
ingly.
“I’ll put you up one cheap, and then you’ll
have something reliable. Something there’s
no discount on.” .
“You say the old rod was a fraud 7”
“The deadliest fraud you ever heard of.
It hadn‘t an ounce of platinum within a mile
of it. The man that sold it ought to be
prosecuted, and the fellow that put it up
without insulators *ould be shot. It’s too
bad the farmers s ould be gouged in that
sort of way." .
“And Bolt & Burnam’s rod is not a
fraud ?" ,
“A fraud? Why, really, my dear sir, just
cast your eyes over Prof. Huxley’s letter
and these certificates, and remember that we._
give a written guarantee—a pesitive protec -
Lion, of course.”
“Just cast your eye over that,” said Key—
ser, handing him a paper.
"‘Well, upon my word! This is indeed
somewhat—that is to say it is, as it were—
it looks—it looks a little like one of our own
Certificgtes." ’
“Just so,” said Keyscr. “That old rod
was one of Bolt & Burnam’s. You sold it to
my son-in-law ; you gave the certificate, you
swore the points were platinum, and your
man put it up. ”
“Then I suppose we can’t trade," said the
agent. ‘
“Well, I should think not,” replied Key-
ser.
Whereupon the man mounted the wagon
and drove on.

When the courting at midnight is ended,
And he stands with his hat in his fist,
Whiloshc lovingly lingers beside him,
To bid him “ta-tal” and he kissed,
How busy the‘thoughts of the future——
You bet you his thoughts he don’t speak-—
He is wondering how they can manage
To live on six dollars 5 week.

Dr._Richardson says that the body should
be in its best physical condition at 40 years ;
for 30 years after the organization should
become more perfect; at 70 old age should
begin and last for 15 years, when, from 85 to
100, there should be ripe old age, without
disease or pain, but marked by a general sub.
sidence of the vital functions. This is his
ideal limit where nature has its undisturbed
course.
