Some miscreant placed a quantity of giant powder, fused and capped in the firebox of George Garland's sawmill boiler and engine standing on one of the branches of North Fork of Powder river. The fires were lit under the boiler, and the crew, consisting of George Garland and William A. the owners of the mill, and the engineer, and Frank Smith, Harry Webber, went to breakfast. They had barely entered the cabin when the charge exploded, scattering the boiler and engine into fragments. Bad they remained two minutes longer around the boiler, all four of them would probably have been killed. Streams forth a golden ray To show the path our feet shall tread. To smooth a doubtful wav.

I carried a bouquet of mignonette and sweet peas which Brother Grant and I thought nice enough to present to any great man. By and by t here was a far away whistle, then the train steamed into view. Cannon were fired, and tlie crowd hurrahed. There were so many people pushing and jostling. such an array of soldieis in blue uniforms, that Grant and I couldn't see much until we climbed on a hand-ca- r, piled with tranl.s, switched off on the track next to the sq. vial.

A Kind-Hearte- d Gander. grandfather had a Swan river gander, which had been reared near the house, and had consequently attached himself to the members of th family; so much so that, on seeing any of them at a distance, he would run to meet them, with all possible demonstrations of delight. But Swanny was quite an outcast from his own tribe, and as often as he made humble overtures io me other geese, so often was he driven away with great contempt, and on such occasions he would frequently run to some of his human friends, and, laying his head on their lap, seem to seek for sympathy. At last, however, he found a friend among his own species. An old gray goose, becoming blind, was also discarded by her more fortunate companions, and Swanny lost no opportunity of recognizing this comrade in distress. He at once took her under his protection and led her about. When he considered it well for her to have a swim he would gently take her neck in his beak and thus lead her, sometimes a great distance, to the waters edge. Having fairly launched her, he kept close by her side, and guided her from dangerous places by arching his neck over hers, and so turning her to a convenient landing place and taking her neck in his bill as before, Fad her to tprra firma again. When she- had goslings he would proudly convoy the whole party to the .vater side, and if any gosling got into difficulties in a hole or a deep cart rut, Swanny, with ready skill, would put his bill under its body and carefully raise It to the level ground.

Among the places visited by the German exploring ship Yaldivia.recent-l- y returned from the Antarctic ocean, was Bouvet island, which, although discovered in 1729, was only known to have been sighted twice since its dis-- : eovery, and until the Valdivia's visit had not been seen for more than seventy years. The island is the summit of a volcanic mountain rising 3,000 feet above the sea. Its crater is entirely covered with ice, which caves down in a steep wall to sea level. It is situated about 1,800 miles of south from the Cape of Good Hope. My ed An I xplosive Kean. The "cigar bean of Batavia is a wild fruit recently discovered in Batavia.
