Remarkable Mirage.?A correspondent
of the Rochester Express j
writes as follows: The undersigned
was one of the hundreds a tMount Hope
on Sunday afternoon who witnessed,
probably, ODe of the most perfect and
sublime mirages ever seen in this,
country. On the entire north sky as I
far as the angle or bison, was lifted
the blue waters of Lake Ontario, while
reflecting from her bosom could be
seen the mountains, hills, valleys, bays
and rivers on the Canada shore inland
for miles. The coast could be plainly
seen over a stretch of fifty miles, and
so perfect at one time thut the forests
could readily be distinguished. The
reader can form some idea of its grand."
cur by knowing that a country separa~
ted from Rochester by a lake seventy to
odc hundred miles in width was as if
suddenly, by the great hand of its Creator,
painted upon the heavens so plain
as to be seen from a standing point one
huodrod miles distaut. Gentlemen
present who were familiar with the
Canada shore could readily distinguish
Riah Lake, Belvidere, and other pro.
minent points in Canada. The lake
looked as though it had by a great tidal
wave rolled upon Rochester, had
covered one entire half of the city, as
no building could be seen north of
Main street, or any laud between the
city and the lake- ,
Tiie Narrowest Gauge Yet for
a Railroad.?A new stylo of ra'lways
will shortly coine before the public
in England under the title of the
Pennicr system. A Bingle row of
piles carries a continuous girder, on
which the train runs, the carriages
hanging down on each side to within
d short distance of the ground. The
carriages are so arranged that inequality
of weight on one side to the extent
of a ton will not affeot the notion.
The small quantity of land required,
cheapness of construction, and speed,
are advantages claimed for it.
A fine deer, evidently closely pursued
on the Lexington sido of the Congaree,
swam the stream, yesterday, and approached
near enough to the Penitentiary
walls to he killed by one of the
sentineis. <

A Mother's Death.
Few who . have lost their first and
"dearest friend" can read the following
with unmoistened eyes:
Death comes unsought to every.boardj
and at its speotral bidding some beloved
one goes forth to his mysterious
home. -. >
Time and philosophy may teach
resignation unto hearts made desolate
by its coming, bat they ean never fill
the vacancy therein, when she that
was our mother uo longer cast a halo
about our darkened hearth.
A mother's place?so loved, so
worshiped?once empty, must bo ever
so. A breast once panged by a mother's
death. no medicine can reach with
healing.
No mind, however sacred, no heart,
however hardened, can ever forget the
gentle being whose sufferings begot his
life.
A mother is truly our guardian
spirit upon earth. Her goodness
shields and protects; she walks with
our infaney, our youth and mature age
?ever sheltering us with her absorbing
love, and expatiation our manysins
with her blessed prayers.
And when oar another, with all her
burden of love, her angelic influence,
her saluted care, ceases her beauteous
life, bow much we los9 at home, of
happiness, of heaven, no one can reckon
; for our mother was none bat oars,
and we only can know how holy she was
?how sacred her memory must ever
be.
But may we not borrow cousolution
from the thought that oar loss is heaven's
gain; that surely one angel
watches over us, erasing with grateful
tears the record of our sin, and mak?
ing easy our path to her with blessed
and blessing prayers.
The Loyal Ku Klux.?There are
serious grounds for Federal interference
in the affairs of the loyal city of
Cinoinnati. Col. Win. Travis, a colored
gentleman, who slings a graceful
razor, digs out a corn or bunion with
neatness and despatch, and is withal,
no slouch in military affairs, saw fit, in
the exercise of his rights and privileges
as a freeman, to vote for a Democrat.
On Monday night, while peacefully
sitting on bis door-step, smoking a cigar,
and revolving various schemes for tho
redemption and. regeneration of his race,
Mr. Travis was "yanked" into the
street by a body of colored Ku Klnx,
and most foully and inhumanly mauled.
The mid'night assassins smote him in
the ribs, barked his shins, punched his.
head, tweaked as much of his nose as
tbey could get hold of, and put mice
under his eyes. In the meantime the
police watched the proceedings from a
neighboring corner aid t?rned a deaf
ear to poor Travis' roars of anguish.
We call upou Congress to do something
for Cincinnati and for Travis. Of what
benefit is the privilege of suffrage to
an African, if he cannot vote for whom
be pleases f
Fill Your Lami>s in the Morning.?Scarcely
a week passes but we
read accounts of frightful accidents
from kerosene lamps exploding, and
killing or scarring for life, men, women i
and children. A simple knowledge of
the inflammable nature of the liquid
will probably put a stop to nearly all
the accidents. As the oil burns down in j
the lamp, highly inflammable gas i
gathers over it) surface, and as the oil i
decreases the gas increases.?When
the oil is nearly consumed, a slight jar |
will inflame the gas, and the explosion <
is sure to follow?death and destruc- i
tion. A bomb shell is no more to be i
dreaded. Now, if the lamp is not
allowed to burn more than half way I
down, such accidents are almost im- i
possible. Always fill your lamps every 1
morning, and then you need never i
fear an explosion.

Making Love?A Warm Response.
In Seville, which in popularly believed
to be in Spain, there ie ia use a
most felicitous invention in the way of
making love1?clandestinely. After
dark, young cabdlerot steal beneath
tbeir lady's lattice?which, perchance,
is in the third stpiy?and softly un?
screwing the handle of their walking
sticks, proceed to extract from the
same, whioh are hollow, length after
length of hollow tube, screwing them
together after the fashion of a Japanese
fishing pole, or the old apparatus
wherewith sweeps clean chimneys. A
mouthpieee is fitted into each end and
one raised to the window above. Soon,
by aid of this improvised speaking
tube, two souk with a certain unanimity
of thought and .two hearts with a
Dussible unison of nulsation are softly
* * _
communing.
Now all this is veiy nice, seductively
romantic and all that sort of thing, but
mark what the knowledge of it brought
to a oertaia youth of Baltimore. He
had read or heard of it, and happening
to have a surreptitious affection for a
young and wealthy lady, which she as
surreptitiously reciprocated, he deters
mined with her oonnivance to avail
himself of it. He got a tin pipe of the
desired length, made by a tinner, and
in each end of it plaeed, for want of a
better month piece, a funnel. Deli- '
cious conversation went on, he sit'
ting on the top of a water barrel and
she leaning from her window above.?
They would converse for hours, and exchange
all the soft nonsense in the
world, and then he would unship his <
apparatus, put the fuanels in his pocket,
wrap the pieces up in a newspaper, and
ea home in a condition of etherial L
bliss. The coarse of true love never#
did ran smooth, and one evening the
old gentleman, smoking in the Dock
garden at an nnsaal hoar, saw the
young gentleman arrive, fix up his apparatus,
and commence .his soul-communing
operations. '
He made aphis mind in a minute. ,
He went into the kitchen and asked for
a pitcher of boiling water, It was handed
to him and of he posted ?p stairs. (
Just as he reached his daughter's door
he commenced calling to her. So telling
her lover to wait a moment, she
eame to the door. 'Nellie, my dear, .
run up to my room and get my epecta- ,
cles; I'll wait here till you come back."
She disappeared up stairs, and he stole
cautiously to the window. The minute
he touohed the funnel the amorous and
unsuspecting youth clapped his mouth
to it to resume where he had broken 1
off?'my darling, you cannot imagine 1
how?' Just then the old gentleman 1
commenced assiduously filling that fun- 1
ncl with hot ttater, and the rest of that
miserable youth's eeutence was never '

for a fortnight after, and declines to go
into society just at present.
Two Hundred Girls on Fire?
Remarkaly Exciting Scene in a
Church.?A very remarkable Sfcene
was witnessed in St. Mary's Church,
Williamsburg, last Sunday. It came
very near proving a tragic matter; fortunately,
however, the activity of the
congregation, aided by the pastor, prevented
any serious consequences.
At tho mornirg services it was arranged
to have four hundred young
girls to partake of their first communion,
and they marched into the church at
the appointed hour. The sight was
imposing, and there was a largo conn
gregation drawn together by the services.
The children were arrayed in white
dresses, wore thin white gauze veib,
and each carried a lighted candle.?
When the head of the little processionhad
reached the furthermost end of
the church, one of the girls dropped
her candle, and in stopping to recover
it set fire to her veil. The flame spread
with lightning-like rapidity. Instantly
4 j ka
a great commuuuu utuoc, uuu uuu uvfore
the congregation had arisen to its j
feet the sheet of fire had spread half- ?
way along the line, and the veils of two
hundred girls were on fire. The utmost
consternation was produced. Those whose '
veils were on fire ran to the main alter 1
where Father McDonald was engaged '
in baptising a number of adults. The '
baptismal water was thrown upon them, J
and with the aid of several of his con- 1
gregation, Father McDonald succeeded 1
in subduing the flames and restoingr '
order.?iVi T. Democrat. j
A woman has no natural graoo more '
bewitching than a sweet laugh. How 1
much we owe to that sweet laugh! It 1
turns the prose of our life into poetry ;
it flings showers of sunshine over the <

sleep, which is the image of death, but i
gemmed with dreams that are the i
shadows of immortality. <
