Tbe subject of this work is the grandest
and tbe most profoundly Interesting that
can engage tbe science, or occupy the mind
of man tbe creation of the world, of tbe
universe. No question efthe present dsy
Is regarded with deeper or more serious In
terest, on every band, than tbe harmooy of
soieaiiBo discoveries and tbo teachings of
the Bible. Here tbe reader will Bod It de
monstrated that there Is no coofliot between
Scripture and Soienoe, tbat tbe facts of Na
ture and tbe records of Inspiration are In
universal and complete harmony, and tbat
true philosophy Is ever the willing hand
maid oi true religion. Tbe book la also a
study of tbe general system of tbe universe,
and of tbe lorms and force end functions of
creation, Ac In (act It Is a work tbat ought
to be in every household, and oo library is

From the San Francisco Jontnst, 7tb.
A good story camo In with tbe overland
train on Monday night. Among tbe pas
sengers was a man possessed or a judicious
spirit of economy and a pardonable share
of vanity. The judicious economy was
msde manifest to the other eocft pints of
tbe oar by tbe tact tbat Ibe young man
wore plain clothing and a single Cheviot
sbirt all tbe way from Chicago, aod for the
pardonable vanity well, bow tbat became
I apparent is where tbe joke comes lo. He
bad only been to the East on a visit, ana
tbe girl a) bad left behind bim bad been
notified In advance ol bis approach, and, In
company with a few other friends was to
meet bim at Nllei' station.
Visions of rspture floated through his
brain, end seating himself In a secluded
corner of thecar, be poured forth bis spir
it's glsdneesin aguibof melody, some
what u thus:
"Home again, borne again,
From A fob-fob-reign shore;
And oh I it fills my oo-oul with joy
To me-he-eat my friends ooee m'orer''
Suddenly he bushed bis notes o 1 joy and
reached for bis carpet-bag.
Tbe appalling Idea flashed across bis
mind tbat tbe shirt which bad done him so
much good service which bad oluog to bim
during .the toilsome journey across two
tbouiand miles of mountain, plain and des
ert wss not exaolly the thing to appear In
if one wished lo intenslfyan already good
Impression. It certainly wouldn't be the
clean thing, be laid to blmsell it wouldn't
be justice to tbe sbirt. So he resolved to
change it But bow? Tbe car contained
seven lady passengers, and tbey watched
everything tbat was going on around them
with an assiduity that did honor to tbe sex.
"Ab. bat st r-rategy, my boy ?" said this
resolute young roan nnto himself, ''The
tunnel we are approacblug tbe tunnel.
Wltb good management I can do the deed
in tbe long tunnel just beyond ;Sunol" and
with a heavenly smile on bis manly features
ha gracefully Hfled bis carpet beg from tbe
floor, unlocked it and drew forth a snowy
sbirt, with nice frilled bosom. Then from
another access drew be a little package con
taining a pair of handsome sleevebuttoni
wanora let ot studs, which he quickly adjust
ed their proper places.
Casting a glance from tbe window be saw
tbat tbe train was not far distant fromhe
tunnel where tbe metamorphosis was to take
place, and so be turned bis back upon tbe
other paaaengers and begin to loosen sundry
buttons in short, prepared to shuck himself.
Presently the eventful moment came. Tbe
Jron borse plunged Into tbe dark recesses ol
tbe tunnel, and tbe car wis shrouded In
Impenetrable darkness. Presently a ray of
ligbt gleamed in fantastic sbsoes along tbe
rugged walls of the tunnel, and- by its faint
glimmer a struggling figure wss discernabla
in tbe directioo of Ibe young man's seat
As the light became stronger its gyrations
became more frantic Its great long arm,
encased in white, tbrasbed wildly about as
though in tbe agony of dispair, and finally
when with a sbrlek ol joy tbe engine dished
into tbe dazzling sunlight, It sank Into bis
seat apparently crushed with mortification
aod chagrin.
Tbe ladies screamed with terror and bid
tbelr blushes At tbe uouiual apparition
Strong men crushed their baodkercbiefi
Into their mouths and nearly choked with
emotion- Tbe figure reclined motionlei
on tbe ioJt cushion, until some one wltb
more courage than tbe rest advanced to as
certain who end what It was. Finally tbe
terrible truth waa revealed. Tbe white
covering was lifted, and from beneath op
pear".! the features of our young friend,
clolbou with carnation a richest rue: Tbe
mjitery waa soon explained. He bad got
ten the Cheviot off, but alast in bis hurry
and exoltement be bad forgotteo to undo
tbe collar fastenlog ot tbe white frilled front.

Mr. Editor: Io your issue ot yesterday,

with a Greeley Demonstration at this place,
therefore I wish, Sir, to have yon correct

Democrat, and such a dastardly attack on
my character, neither myself or frleods wlH
brook. I do not know Mr. Graeley, and
