THE DAILY NEWS. A Sommer Sunset. Green islands in a irolden sea, ?With amethyst cliffs that melt away At every wash of the sleepy wave, ?White towering Alps that greet the day ; And still thiough rents m tte farther space Glimpse* of distant ocean Bed. Burning with restless, changeful light, And veined wiih flashes of glory spread, Tar as the living are from the dead, jar as the blessed are ?rom hell's night Then the islands grow to radiant realms, And shoot forth golden tongues of land, And the Alps fade down to a level olvn. Where monsters troop n a threatening band ; .Then murky towers, where ghosts can reign, Bise like a wizird's dying dream; 'While low in the West in a narrow vein There spreads, through the dutk, one golden beam, Like heaven's last and lingering gleam Seen through hell's vista by those in pain. Nature is changeful, and like the sea. Has Vsauhimu ebb and its rammer flow, -Cloudlets or morning pass with dawn: Who can tell where the sunbeams go; Dead flowers turn to mare earth at last. Barth to blossoms breaks forth in Hay, life and death are ever at war On thia areat cbamelien world. I say; Ts' c'oud or rive-, or leaf on ibo tree . Is noi so changemi. it seems to me, -As a woman's mind-that a feather can sway. THE AVONDALE DISASTER. Origin of tne Fire-Thc Suspicion of In? cendiarism. The Scranton Republican, of Monday, pub? lishes the following editorial article in connec? tion with 3e ver al columns of evidence taken at the inquest which began at Ply mon ia on Sat? ur jay, " and "was adjourned lo nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, tho 14th iustant: The intense interest felt in the Avondale dis? aster will not be lessened by reading the re? ports of the evidence elicited before Coroner Wadham's jury at Plymouth on Saturday. The theory of tue fire, which has gradually been re? ceived-namely, that the work of the shaft was ignited hy the heat from the ventilating fur? nace-is scouted by every experienced miner who was examined. There was no difference of opinion on the point, while the working ot a mine with hut one opening sud the building ol the breaker over the mouth of the shalt were generally condemned. All the witnesses whose opinion on the point ware of any value were unanimous in considering the furnace entirely safe. The : opinion that the fire was not caused by the furnace in the mine is supported not only by the experience and judgment of oxoerts, but by positive evidence of a well nigh conclusive character. This is found in the present con? dition of the bret tico, or wooden partition which divided the shaft to a hoiating<vsy sud an airway, or an upcast and downcast.. Ibis hrettice is discolored at the top, and not at the bottom, except a few feet which was ignited by the barning debris and ashes wbi?h fell to the bottom of the shaft when the breaker building was consumed. I -The brettice was the only material which could have camed the fire from the bottom to She top of the shaft, if tne fire bad been com? municated to the brettice at the bottom, as it would have been bad the furnace communicat? ed it. It IB impossible to believe that a por? tion ef the brettice, beginning at a point only twenty feet from thc bottom, and extending thence upward for one hundred and thirty feet, could have remained unburned'as it DOW re? mains. What could have extinguished tbe flumes twenty feet from tbe bottom and re? kindled them one hunched and thirty or one haudred and forty feet higher np ? The thing is Inconceivable. Mot one of the witness* s could assign as reason for the origin ot the fire any cause connected with the working of the minc. Host of them thought it expedient not * to attempt any explanation at all, and only one of the hundreds to give positive expression to 'the horrible suspicion that evidently lurked in a?e minda of all. One witness on his oath said he behoved the mine was intentionally fired. Ac let us not attem pt farther to excite the hor? ror which tbe mere suspicion ol such an enor? mity At once arouses, but examine for a mo? ment the facilities for incendiarism afforded by-the peculiar situation. Geo. Morgan swore that be believed the fire beean at the mouth of 1 'tbe tunnel, or a little below it. The tunnel re? ferred to affords the best possible cover for in? cendiary operations. Begmoing under the lower aide of the breaker, it ran under that building and opened into the abaft at a point about forty feet below the surface. Tbe parts ot the shaft into which it opened was not the hoisting way which was continually traversed by the carriage, frequently with men aboard, and in which any suspicious appearance would almost certainly have been noticed. Tbe tun ' Bel opened into the air sbafr, or ur. ont, by a wooden door. This point in tbe air shaft, forty feet beneath the 8 aria oe, was perfectly screen? ed from observation. It was np the air shaft that the fire came, and it came with the speed and torce of an explosion, bursting into the en? fin* house, aa tbe engineer swore, with the puff of an explosion of loose powder. Thia explosive character of the flame ie partly accounted for by th* strength of the -draft In the air shaft; but the use of tbe quan? tity of highly inflammable material at the mouth of Uie tunnel would bave tended to pro? doce precisely the same effect. What is more easy than to enter the tunnel, say at day? break, charge its mouth andthe brettice oppo? site with a quantity of kerosene or other io flammabJe material, lay a slow fuse connecting with it, light the rose, escape unnoticed, and be miles away before the catastrophe came? The fuse, and a magazine would be most effec? tually- concealed while the former waa burn? ing. It it A dreadful thing to feel compelled* j to advocate such a theory; but ia any other possible? Can it be conceived* that such a conflagration, If occurring from any ac? cidental cause, or at the bottom of the shatt, could have escaped the notice of men . passing upasd down the shaft only fifteen min? utes be/ere the flames burst from ite mouth? Was not tbe month of the tunnel the only point opposite the barned part of the brettice at which Are could hive been, communicated? Was it not impossible fer any fire to occident? ally ocmeirom tbe tunnel? In brief, is not the theory of incendiarism possible, and all others impossible? * in reaching this conclusion w? need not take into account tbe reporte about traces of | kerosene at the mouth of tbe tunnel, it will be time enough to consider those ?ben they have been elicited on oath in open court. The evidence? of the moat beart-siekeuras crime on . record are far stronger than we could desire them to be already. a 11 sss i > MONARCHS OF THE FOREST. -- The Big Trees of.California A correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Commer? cial has paid a visit to the giant tree? of Cala? veras County, California, and gives the follow? ing entertaining account of tbem: A walk of-two or three boure enables one to get a thorough look at tho big trees. The large ones are all christened, and have Deal Utile boards inscribed with their names affix? ed to their- trunks. The level path winds thrcurh the dense and beautiful undergrowth, the dust and fine sand beuig its only unpleas? ant feature. Lovely shrubs and flowering wild plants carpet (be grove ; the willow, tbe tern, the larch, and the hazel, wave lu; ow-like rn the soft wind a sea ot bushy verdure; the fir, the spruce and the su? gar pine shoot up slenderly to the height of I two hundred feet and more; while high, very high above all tower the mammoth trees. The enormous trunks of the latter borst forth in the thick forest vistas with massive boldness that storms admiration. Like other colossal objects, they growopoo tbe eye that begins S> underrating them. The magnificence of e groves around the hotel is something 1 hesitate to attempt to picture with word* . Without the big trees they would inspire de? light ; with the giants, they are truly one of the World's wonders. How grand they seem at day-bow weirdly majestic by starlight. The voices -of the breeze through their foliage, three hundred feet overhead, is hke a rryste noos mght whisper from the sea, and floats the Wind off into the dim realm of religious awe, tbaWs at once the reward and the roys tery of sorrtude. % At night, from the porch *of the hotel, we lp*ked on tbe heavens ' fretted with golden 4re" through'* filmy lace ot leaves that sighed in long, low cadences, and undulated idly, as if drowsing tff with other living twinge. ?t wa;J tbe,grove with all ile glorious growth-the big . trees sud their imperial guard ot bc-sor taken .as a Whole-that excited the deepest pleaeuro lo' our minds, and requited the toils of the Journey over sod over. Man has a passion, a teneratioo, for the forest tree. The Druid seems less idolatrous than the worshipper of ino' s rm. It is easy to love an oak and hard to. love a planet. The botinist outlives and outruns the astronomer. All of which argues that the traveller who does not study shrub, evergreen, and forest tree, as be winds over the world, knows nothing of or cares nothing ? ^sbout bis capacity for calm enjoyment The J big-tree groves of California are equally a climax for the naturalist and a climax for bim who wanders to see what is greatest and strangest in nature. . Standing for twenty centurias and more, tbey have not escaped scars from so prodigious a conflict with the elements and the savage. After reaching the beight of between three and faur hundred feet, the storms invariably tear off their tops, so that the trunks of all terni nate with ragged abruptness. The camp fires ot fifty generations of Indians have mut ilated and blackened about three-fourths of tbe giants, many of which have been hollow for ages, and open to imminent danger from the burning faggots left so ofteu inside t.ieir spa? cious shelter. The big tree, where it emerges from the ground, his an immense gnarly bulgi, or gir? dle of knots, ihat add many feet to its circum? ference at the root. About four feet above the ground the trunk emerges from its huge, rough pedestal, and shoots straight upward, shrinking in diameter about one-fiftb, and ta? pering very gradually to its splintered capital. The ninety-three mammoth trees are inter? spersed in groups of t*o or three, at intervals of thirty, forty and fifty yards, throughout a space ot about fifty acres. Outside of this small ti act no specimens of it are lound, ex? cept in three counties in California, distant from Calaveras. Woy they should thus be con? gregated in four little groups in the interior of California, and unknown elsewhere, is singu? lar, considering their age and hardiness, i hey are only found on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, at elevations of from 4000 to 6000 feet above the Pacific, and in a coil of pe? culiar richness-not a rank, black mold, but a loose, unctions, brown mold, that, tickled with a dry, yellow atom no larger or thicker.than the tiniest finger-nail of the tiniest baby.burtles up into the air a wooden tower thirty-three feet thick and tour hundred feet high. We rambled through the grove several times during our stay, and fearing that the measure? ments given by printed descriptions were ex; aggerat'.d, applied for ourselves the most care? ful tests. We paced around the trees and measured them with Une and rule. We found the original figures to be accurate. The trees do not look to ba over SOO feet tall, but by mea? suring those that have fallen, the miscalcula? tion of the eye in thia respect also is correct? ed. "The Father of the Forest,'' which lies prone, must have been 450 feet high. The trunk, as it now rem sins exceeds 800 feet in length, and at ita broken top it ie sixteen feet in diameter. A stairway oontaming twenty one steps conducts to the top of the prostrate giant. A lofty bole in its side admi*s a man on horseback, and for one hundred and twenty eight feet one can ride erect through its hollow trunk. I tried it on a medium-sized norse, eat straight in the saddle and determined not to duck my head. My hat barely grazed the black roof of the straugo causeway in one place. Elsewhere there was plenty of play for perpen? dicular equestrianism. Four teamsters, mount? ed on large horses, came to "do" the riding exploits while we were near at band. They were so delighted with their complete success that they went off whooping and on the gallop. Tue best test object in the grove is abat is known as ' the stomp ot tbe big tree" and an accompanying section of the trunk that lies near at hand. This tree was solid to the core. In 1853 rive men, employing large augure, u-woiked industriously for twenM-live days to fell it. Tbe giant tb it yielded to this vandal? ism was thirtj -one feet through, aud over three hundred feet hieb. The stump was planed off on top and enclosed m a neat sum? mer-house with rounded domo' and numerous windows. Around the interior of tbe summer? house runs a bench for loungers. Ihe stump affords ample room for thirty-two dancer?. Dramatic performances have been given ou it, and in 1858 seventy copies of the Big TrecBuI I letin were published th??re. The section<t? t he trunk outside is twenty tcet long, and its i smooth summit is attained by a stairway twee 1 ty-hve feet long. It is covered with the carved names of visit jr.-. As space bas given out, many lit tlc slabs of wood bave been inscribed by ambitious tourists aud nailed over the ear? lier autographs. The rest of the tiunk of tina tree lies close by. It was formerly used for a bowling alley and bar-room, but has been stripped of all such 'improvements." '1 he murder of tbe splendid tree named tbe "Mother of the Forest" is another ex tm pie of a hateful vandalism that would not now bc tolerated. This tree was encircled by scaffold? ing, and stripped Of bark tor one hundred and sixteen tost above the ground. It lingered a year or two, but now stands stark and leaflet, with tbe creaking scaffolding clinging to it a dead giant hung io chaine The bark was carefully cut into peet iou s and taken to England where it was put together in its original upright shape, Riving a life-like idea of a Cali? fornia big tree. When a portion of the Syden? ham Crystal Palace burned, recently, this pon? drons tower of bark was entirely destroyed. Savagery with nature prospers as "meagrely as cheating. WONDERFUL CALCULATORS. intuitive Perceptions la Mathematics. On the 3d of Joly, 1889, some of the emi? nent members of. the Academy of Science, at Paris, including MM. Ango, Lacroix. Libra and Strum, met to examine a remarkable b)y, whose powers, of mental calculation were deemed quite inexplicable. The boy, named Vito Nangiamele, . Silurian, was the eon of a shepherd, and waa about eleven years old. The examiners asked him eeveral questions wbicy they knew, under ordinary circum? stances, to be tedious of solution-such as tbs cube root of 8,796,416, and tbs tenth root of 282 475.249. Ihe first of tbeee he answered in half a minute, tbe second in three minutes. One question was of the following compli? cated character: What number complies with .tIeJpUowirg proportions, that if its cube be added lo?.fists times ite square, and then 42 timessne number, aud the number 42 be sab it racted from the result, the number is equal t o 0 OJ" zero ? M. Arago repeated thin question a second time; bot while he was finishing tho last word, the boy replied, "the number is five." Such cases greatly puzzle ordinary mathe? maticians. Buxton, Col Durn and Bidder have, at different times, exhibited tbis unaccounta? ble power of accounting. Jedediah Buxton, although bis grandfather was a clergyman and his father a schoolmaster, was so neglected in his education that fae could not even write; his mental faculties were slow, with the one wonderful exception of his power of menial arithmetic. Q After hearing a sermon, be remembered and cared for nothing concerning it, except the number of words, which he bad counted du? ring their delivery. If a period of time or size of an object were mentioned iu his hearing, be almost unconsciously began to count bow many seconds, or bow many hair breadths there were tn it. He walked from Chesterfield to London on purpose to bave tbe gratification of seeing George ll; and while in the metrop? olis he was taken mach notice of by members of the Royal Society. On one occasion he went to see Garrick in Richard LU; but instead ot' attending to tbe performance io the usual way, be found occupation in counting thu number of words ottered by each pe forme-, After striding over a field io two or three di? rections, he would tell the number of square inches it contained. Be could Dumber all the pints of beer be had drank at all the houses be hid ever vi ?ted darin? half a century. He once set himself to reckon bow much a farthing would amount to if doubled one hundred and forty times; the ?esult came oat in tu ch stupendous number of pounds sterling ns required thirty-nine places of figures to repre? sent it. in 1750, this problem was put to bim : to find out how many cubical eighths of an inch there ar* in a quadrangular mass which 'measured 231,145.789 yardB long, 5 642,733 yalda wide, and 64.965 yards thick; be answered this -s all the rest, menially. On one occasion be made himself whit "he called "druuk willi reckoning" the toliowiDg : "In 200,000 million I cubic miles bow ronny grains of eight different kinds of corn and pulse, and how many hair* I an inch mn??'' He ascertained by "actual counting how macy of each kind of grain, and | how many hairs aa inch loog, would go to an inch cube, and then set himself about bis enormous self-imposed task. He could sus? pend any of his problems for any length ot time, and resume at the point where he lett off; and could converse on other eubjeots while thus employed. He could never give any ac oouut of the way io which be worked out bis problems; nor did bis singular but exceptional faculty bring him any other ad vant age than that of being invited to the bouses of the gen? try as a kind of show. Zoi ih Uolburn, who excited mn-h* iuterest m London m 1812, was a native of Vermont. At six years old lie sud lenlv Bhowed extraor? dinary powers of mental calculation. By pro-J censes which seemed to be almost unconscious to himself, and wen wholly so to others, be answered arithmetical queafcoris ot consider? able difficulty. * When , eight years old he was taken to London, where ne astonished many learned auditors and spectators by giving correct i pointions to such problems as the following:! RrWeS uptQ the sixteenth power; give thei equ^JK?.Lof 106,929: give the cube root ot 268*826.125; how marr/ seconds are there | in 48 years ? The answers, were always I Riven in a very few minutes-sometimes in a few seconds. He was ignorant of the ordi? nary rales of arithmetic, and did not know how or?why particular modes of process came into his mind. On one occasion, the Duke of Gloucester asked him to multiply 21,734 by 643; something in the boy's manner induced the Boke to ask how he d<d it, from which it appeared that the boy arrived at the result by multiplying 65.202 by 181, an equivalent pro? cess; but why he made this change in the fac? tors neither he nor any one else could tell. Zerah Colburn was unlike other boys also in this, that he had more than the usual number of toes and fingers; a peculiarity observable also in his father and Borne of his brothers. An exceptional instance is presented in the case of Mr. Bidder of this faculty cultivated to a highly useful purpose. George Parker Bid? der, when six years old, used to amuse himself by counting up to 100, then to 1000. then to 1,000,000; by degrees he accustomed himself to contemplate the relations of high numbers, and used to build np peas, marbles, and shot into squares, cubes and other regular figures He invented processes of bis own, distinct from those given in books on arithmetic, and could solve all the usual questions mentally more rapidly than .other boys with the aid of pen an 3 paper. When he became eminent as a civil engineer, he was wont to embarrass the parliamentary council on contested raUway bille, by confuting their statements of figures almost before the words were ont of their mouths. In 1856, he gave to the institution of civil engineers an in? teresting account of this singular arithmetical faculty-BO far, at least, as to Bhow that memo? ry has" less to do with it than is generally supposed: the processes are actually worked out serialtm, but with a rapidity almost incon? ceivable.

The Journal of Commerce, of Monday, 13th Inst, says : There is no new feature to quote. The in? quiry is light and prices are in ihe buyers' favor. We quote Carolina at 8K*?>?c, with salts of 40 tes. Of Rangoon 300 bags have changed hands, but we did not learn the term?. We quote the following from Messrs Dan Tal madge's Son's circulai, dated New York, September 11,1869: The market since our las: is without any material change, prices being fully sustained on account of the scarcity of supply. Out of our Isst year's crop 65,000 casks-there is remaining on band on the seaboard not to exceed 800, acd these are mostly of plain grades. The new crop is near at baud. Our advices from Charleston note thc arrival of several small parcels of rough al that point; these will probably be milled and forwarded during the coming week. The con dition of the grain, however, precludes large ship? ments, and the demand will have to be supplied from the old stock ior several weeks hence. The prospects are that tbe cron of the present year will show a yield of fully 80.000 casks in the' Caroli? nas and Georgia. In most of the rice-growing dis? tricts moie land was planted, and bad there been less difficulty in obtaining steady labor, the present crop would have been more ttan double that of the last. In tbe mam', the plantation? are in better or? der, and the crop wili grade higher, being freer irom cockle and flint seeds. Rangoon grades are easier in consequence of the large stock.

July ?6 D*O lyr /p E V K R AND AGUE, ."?T"^^ FROM WBICHMANKIND SUFFER over a large part of tbe globe, is the MMJ/P ? consequence of a diseased action in H~~^)X/ the xystem, induced by the poleon I ^HT tous ruiasui ot vegetable decay. This _Hs\_ J^kr exhalation if evolved by thc action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises W with the watery vspor fi om lt. .While the sun is below the horizon thu vapor 'lingers near the earth's surface, and the virus is taken with it through the lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating poison on the internal viscera and exrrciing organs of the body. The liver become* torpid and falls to secrete not only this viru*. but also the bile from the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate in the circu? lation, and produce vio cnt constitutional disorder. The spleen^Lbe kidneys, and the stomach ?ympa thizc with Jk\ liver, and become disordered also. Kinally, thc Instinct of "ur organism, as il in an at? tempt to excel th? noxious infusion, concentrates the ?hole blood of the body in the internal excreto? ries to force them to cast it out. The blood leaves the surface, snd nuhr-sto the central organs with congestivo violence, this is the Chill. But in this effort it tails. Then tbe Fever follows, in wbich tbe blood leaves the central organs and ruches to the -uriacc, as it in another effort to expel the irritating poison through that other great excretory-the skin. In this also it fails, and tbe system abandona the attempt exhausted, and wilts tor the recovery of strength to ropea' tbe hopeless effort another day. These are tbe fits ot paroxysms ot Fever and Ague, such constitutional disorder will ol course under mino the health if it is not removed. We have labored to fmd, and have found an anti? dote, AY ER'S AGUE CURE. Which neutralizes this malarious poison in the blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the body. As it should, io it does cure this afflicting disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more, or rather does what is of mere service to those sub? ject to ibis infection. If taken in season it expels it from the system as it ls absorbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the sys? tem in health although exposed to the disease. Con? sequently it not only eure?, but protects from, the great variety of affections which are induced by this malignsnt influence, such as Remittent Fever, Chill Fever. Dumb, or Mssked Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever?, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindnets, Toothache. Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations. Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics, Colic, Paralysis, and Paintul Affections cf tbe Stomach and Bowels, sll of which, when arising in.m this cause, will be found to as? sume, more or less, tbe intermittent type. -This "AGUE CUBE," removes the cause of these derange? ments and cures the disease. Ibis it accomplishes by stimula ting the excreto? ries to expel the virus from the system; and tbeeo organs by degrees become habited to do this, their office, of their own accord. Hence arises what we term acclimatation. Time may acconjaUsh the same end, but oiten life is not long enoughfwlssacriOced in the attempt, while this ' Agu s Cure" does it st once, and with safety. We Lave great reason to be? lieve 'his is a surer as well ss safer remedy for the whole class of diseases which are caused by the mi? asmatic iniecti >n, than any other which has been discovered; and it has still another important ad? vantage to the public, which is, that lt is cheap as well as good.
