It is not generally known that wo have iu this locality, very near the "Geyser," a paint mine. We might aay it was n quarry, there is so much of it. One of our eutcrorising citizens, .fosoph 151 ess tnr, recently iooic a wagon and shovel and loaded up with two colors (there are three or lour colors to be had) and brought it home, pounded it up with an old hammer, tiled it. up with linse:- I .id, and put it on his picket fenoo. lb' now has one of the handsomest fenees in the State --the upper part a rich ol 1 gold and the lower a beautiful maroon. The mine seems to be simply inexhaustible. This mute au I the "Iley Ker," which is near it, w3ro discovered, or rather located, about eighteen yours ago by that veteran old-timer uu I prince of good follows, Naylor Thotnphou, whom every body knows aud likes. It was shown to him in the tirst place j by a friendly Indian chief, who took a liking to Naylor au I assured hi:n that it was the sourer of supply for all of the Indians west of the Mississippi River, and has been for eonturios.-- Towusond (Montana) Messenger.

Majestic Panor.unit S;>rea<l Hcfiirc the Sightseer -- Us Korcsroiind j Onccii llloo'lv Scene of ('ivll War. 1 i ON F. of the in oat remarkable I curios in Uncle Sam'soabinet, I writes Julian Ralph iu Mar- j per's Magazine, is Lookout ! Mountain, at Ch.ittauooga, Tennessee. | The traveler expects such occasional j combinations of mountain and plain on the edges of the Rockies, the Selkirk*, and other great mountain chains, and yet is doubtful whether i any other as beautilul is to bo found. , For it baa Aritlnm luinu.m.i.l .. e.,11 mountain risen abruptly to interrupt ami dominate a view so majestic and j of such varied features. Glistening j water, smiling farm-laud, forest, city, j hill and island, all lie upon the gorgeous aud gigantic canvas of the Mas- j ter Painter, who there invites man- > kind to His studio to enjoy such views ' as we had fancied only the stupid den- j izeus of the air are privileged to dully scan. To Rurfeit one's self with the won- j droits changing, widening beauty of J that splendid scene one does not have : to consider the maKial records that | brave men wrote with their blood all | over the foreground of the prospect, j But when it happens that the specta- ' tor is au American whoso soul has been stirred by the poor printed annals of Chiekamauga and Mission ' Iiidge, the feast spread before Lookout Mountain ministers to the uu- J (lersUntliug the while it ravishes the eye. In nothing is this wonder mom wonderful than in its accessibility. It is oven more convenient to the tourist j than Niagara Falls?almost the solitary great natural curiosity in our ] country for which one does not have j to travel far and labor bar I. In this ; | case the grand view is ouo of the , sights of Chattanooga, "the Little Pittsburg" of the South. The city i enjoys it, as t householder does his j garden, by merely traveling to a back window, as it were, for the historic mountain is at the end of a five-cent trolley line. During half the year the tourist is even better served, for i the railroads haul the "sleepers" up j tho mountain-side in summer, and j discharge the passengers on the very edge that divides terra firtua anil eagle's vision. Guided by Mr. Milton D. Ochs, of tho Chattanooga Times, who could have offered a vory wonueinu view 01 uis own from I towering pile in which tUufc- .^uper | is housed, f took tho trolley liuo during what tho Southern folk are pleased to eall winter time. The way led to just such a looking railway as oue i finds at Niagara Falls going down to I the water's edge, though this one darts , up the two-thousand-foot-high inouu- [ tainside. and is faiued among professional engineers as a remarkable creation. It was planned and built by Colonel \V. It. King, U. S. A. It is loOO feet in length, with an elevation of 1 !()' feet, and a grade of nearly ono foot, iii throo at tuo steepest place. I The terminus is the Lookout Poiut Hotel, which appears to stand upon a | howltler siispoudod over the remainder j of creation, as if a mountain rising ! out of a plain had thrust out a finger and men had put tip a building on the finger nail. The biblical word-picture which tells of our Saviour beiug taken up on a high mountain and shown the kingdoms of the earth con veys the idea tliat the view from this point suggests. One can hut have an i lea of it, and it can only bo expressed or described with a figure of speech. To be told that it commands 500 miles of the earth's surface, and that the most distant objects are parts of seven different States, is too much for the mind to master. What the eye takes in is a checker board made up of farms, roads, villages, woods, ridges and mouutaiu ranges, all in mm iature. The Tennessee Uiver gladi dons the scene. Though it is 1400 j feet wide, it looks like a ribbon, and, like a ribbon thrown carelessly from the mountain top, it lies in uiauy i curves and convolutions, a dull green j band everywhere fringed with a thin . line of trees that wall in the farmers' | fields. You may count ten of its i | curves, and three ot then, immediately below the mountain, form the exact shape of an Indian moccasin, around the too of which a toy freight train crawls lazily with a liiulM -d gasp ing out of all proportion t > its size. A hrowu and white mound of smoke i and stea.u beyond the nearest farms is j pointed out as Chattanooga, and a | I rolling wooden region 011 the right is I spoken of as the oloodiest tlehl of the !

Tho ancient historians mention several instances of the sun "goiug out" nr failing to shine and give forth its usual aniouut of heat and light for periods of tune varying in length from three hours to several months. According to Plutarch the year-41 B. C was one iu which the sun was "weak and pale" for a period approximating eieven months. The Portuguese historians recor.l "several months of diminished sunlight in the your 034 A. D , and, according to Huiuholdt, this uucauny period ended with "strange aud startling sky phenomena, such as loud atmospheric explosions, rifts in the vaulted canopy of the blue above anil in divers other rare and uuaocountable freaks." In the year 1001, on September '20th (See Humboldt's "Cosmos"), the sun turned suddenly black and icmained so for three hours, and did not regain its normal condition for several days. According to the uotod Helmuths ' Solar Euorgy,' the days of seeming inactivity on ihe part of the sun (the days following the sudden blackening of the great orb) were noted foi a peculiar greenish tinge, and are marked in old Spanish, French and Italiau records as "the days of the green sun." February, 1 lot;. A. D., i i noted in the annals of marvelous phenomena as a month iu which there were several days that 'the sun appeared dead and black, like a great circular cinder floating in the sky." "On the last day of February, l'20fi,M says Cortvza. an old Spanish writer on astronomy, astrology and kindred subjects, "the sun appeared to go sllddi-nlv ,-?nC *?<inai???v ? .l.,?1?? ?? ? .j ?

For eighteen years the city of Humboldt, Kan,, lias had no qualified municipal officers, although an election is held every year. The Council meets without taking the oath of office. The Mavor is morelv Chairman of ?. nnm. mittee of citizens?this Council?and the meetings of the committee are held regularly. Ordinances aro passed giving the City Marshal ami Street Com- ] inissiouer power to keep the town orderly and clean. The Council cannot handle any public inoucv. The little money used bv Ike Council is raised by private subscription among tho resi- i dents of the town. The City Marshal is only a fiat functionary, so to speak, as ire the Street Commissioner and the j City Clerk. In other words, the city of \ Humboldt is not a legal corporation. 1 on the theory that having n.> qualified officers it cannot be required by the j courts to cancel a boude.l debt incurred eighteen years ago, when a railroad was projected from Fort Scott to i Humboldt. Tho road was graded, but as the expected tide of prosperity showed no sigu of setting in the ' bought up l>V 1 Vi/d- The.bonds were for twenty-five cents on tho dollar; j ami the people of Humboldt, having received no benefit from the railroad j enterprise, declined to pay their cred- j tors more than that proportion of the face value of the bonds; hence the fiction of the city government which lias existed for eighteen years. They 1 have always been ready to liquiduto their debt at twenty-five cents on the dollar, auo now expect, as meir oner lias uever boeii accepted, that in two ! years more the statute of limitations will release them from any obligation whatsoever, when the municipal ofli cers will qualify as formerly?New Orleans Times-Democrat.

P. Bowman, at the Emory. "The climate is becoming ! equalized slowly but surely. I re memoer twenty years ago visiting Now Orleans, and I was told that it had not snowed there for thirty years. It now snows every winter. When I was a boy there was zero weather in Ohio over three mouths, and usually sleighing all winter. Ten degrees below zero was not considered as very cold. Now there are but few days when the thermometer reaches zero, aud snow seldom remains on the ground longer thau a week at a time. I am satisfied that the climate of the Middle States is warmer and that of the Southern States colder than it was a quarter of a century ago.
