Bi-ing interrnga ed wnen abroad about what is now pretty generally known 'Charlie's Light," and finding the public mind unsettled as to its nature, and also that false loipresbioas of its character are being circulated, which are well calculated to excite in the mind those supt-r- tendencies which are a fruitful of skepticinn in tbe leal, unseen interests of life, I have been induced to offer to the public through yoar excellent paper what I conceive to be the true solution of the phenomenon. Suffice it to say that I did become bufficieutly concerned about the nature of this light to turn aside from my homeward route on a certain stormy evening about two weeks ago, to witness its and that I did see on that night what was poiutei out and affirm td to be, by those familiar with it, the genuine light of the late Charlie Tacke. I found the light to be of two kinds--red and white. The former, upon investigation, proved to be eparks that came Irom a stove in Charlie's house, atd on that occasion ascended until they flashed out upon the face of a cloud that lay beyond. It will be remembered that sparks from stove pipes or flues receive their color all the way from a pale white tc s.

deep red, from the degree of heat and the quality of wood froaj which they are produced, and that they also or descend or move at angles or in horizontal relation to the earth, as the Btate of the air with wbjch they have to do may determine. And there IB thing in the degree at least, tbat is true uf tbeag sparks that I bare not noticed of them in other countries, but bare on several occasions witnessed here, and that is, that whatever may be their line of movement, though it may embrace any or all of tbe points of the compass, their passage may be partially or entirely concealed through the more dense body of air tnat tpay surround the pipe or flue from which they come. But upon reaching ratified that abound 1 in our Montana atmosphere, they Hash into brilliancy and immediately go cut. These flashes wiU be intensely brilliant if there should be a dense strata of air near it, to cacch aud reflect its kindled rays. A few makes but little if any appreciable difference in their appearnnce, especially in relation to distance, for in this I find that they are quite deceptive.

I havo seen them seven miles away, and yet the distance as represented by thtm was inconsiderable. Had you baen at my place on last eresing, Mr. Editor, you might have wit mused the display of iparfcs that were four miles off, hut which appeared to be at a stream that was about a quarter ef a mile off. Tbe reason for this will appear we proceed the treatment of this SUbjrct. The white light that stood still, moved near the earth's suiface, kindled up and went out at intervals, I found to be a light a residence in the valley beyond the swamp, miles awy.

the rgys of -which, in their passage through the varied conditions of the atmosphere that intervened were nisde to assume all of the phases that are to light." By way of illustration: I saw on the morn iag Of the 6th between 8 and 9 o'clock, iu the road ahead of and approaching me, a woman walking with a small boy walking at her right fide, and occasionally there appeared a child at her left side, supported by her hand. While I was debating with njyaelf the probable cause that had induced a woman to vcn ture eo fur out between settlements at that early hour, with only two smull children for her attendants, oqr relations became so changed by prevalent conditions of the air that intervened, that instead of a woman walking there appeared a lad mounted on a Horse, and for the boy that WAS on her right fide there was presented a horse that was led by the of tho rider, and fpr the child that occasionally appeared at her left side supported by her band, a colt that was following its dam, that at iuk-rvals dashed up by her side, touching tha foo-, was substituted. Now if, as in this case, the rays of light wero so distorted by the state of the air through which they passed to me as to present images so radically different, so false to the objects which they represented, may not the raya from lights at night, In their passage to tne eye, across creeks, bogs or spring heads, bu bent to the right or left, thrown up or down, appear suddenly near, and suddenly disappear, us the different conditions of the air through which they passed might determine, especially that, of their concentration and n-flection upon the more smooth parts ot the surface of the jets of steam tbat arise irom streams and damp localities, such as are on and about the late Tacke place, presenting the light from which they come, though miles away, at that point where they had come collected upon planes that are ever and anon formed lor their reosption by the irregular and constant movement ol the vaporized current of air, and as these planes are constantly, changing into rugged mountains, the rsyn are suddenly distracted, and the light suddenly disappears behind the rising humid air as it blown out, to appear when new plsneaare formed for their I found that when viewed Itorn a window up stnirs In Darrlngtrfn's honw the display WM much improved. Indeed, I found that when I went down where tbu light seemed to be, thtt it sto still in the dUtauce. ThU becaun the vaponz-d had collected aud be come sufficiently det.se to collect and die perse its rays, but bviog upstairs in th house I was above the theatre ot their ac tion, and hence their display.

This theory accounts ir the con nected with "Charlie's Lights. 1 First. lit. appearance in tbe winter aa well as in the spring. Second, That it could be seen in the evening about tbe time that lights were io through the valley, and that it disappeared about tbe tirno tbat these lights were extinguished.

And last, it could not be seen on bright moonlight nights. KOBKKT S. CLAHK. LKTTfclt FRO.n JKPFKRSON OITX. Interesting Matrimonial Accident-DIpbiiierla Boulder.

CITV, M.T., 17, 1881. To tbe Editor of tne I-NDCTKN-DHM'. As article! I rum this section have received recognition through jour valuable columns, I take liberty to send you an account of the matrimonial evtnt thit occurred in tins place on Sunday. Town folks were surprised on Sunday morning to learn tbat at 2 o'c ock Mr. Anon Thomas was to be married to Lenora Thompson.

At the appointed hour, before a few invittd of the family. Rev. T. A. Wickes officiating, they were joined in wedlock.

Tbe bride, Miss Thompson, is the fail and accomplished daughter of Mr, M. B. Thompson, of this place. She has here since a child, and through her kindness of heart and sterling womanly has made many lilelong frisndg. Indeed, she is a universal favorite.

Mr, Anon Thomas is a fine young man, of good habits, highly esteemed by all Who know und is a man who make bis In the yenia to camo. Miss A. q. Putnam acted as bridesmaid and Mr, Ciprad Decker as gr omnman, both acquitting thfcroielvei in the most creditable manner, After tiie eeretuouy a sumptuous repast waa served, 'ihe bride and groom were the of many sincere and warmly expressed congratulations, A few bours later the newly-married couple took their departure for Helena, where they conttm plate visiting for a few days. Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, at Clancy, Mr.

John H. Lewis was tuarrieu to Miss Laura Budd. jJMr Lewis ig a nephew of Hop. I. J.

Lewis, late superintendent of the L' Tender mines at Clancy, and for two terms a member of the Legislative Counc 1 of the Territory, Miss Laura Budd is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Newton Budd, tnd well in Belena as wtll as in this viciuitj. She is a very intelligent, agreea'ile lady, one who will make a host of friends wherever she may yo. The happy couple took their fur 'heir new homo in the Wood Kjve.

cnuutry. Mauy friends join in wishing both couples a sail through life, and their troubles may be no greater than little cues It is su-rniscd that when fall spproaches a few of the coal contractors have made their little pile they will watn their faces, comb their hair, buy a switch cine and marry some of our Jtfiterson City belles. Dr. Rudd, while on a professional trip to Wickes during Sunday night, was violently thrown from his horse, which had become frightened and uomanageble. Fortunately the doctor was not seriously hurt, and he was able next morning to go to Boulder in answer to a call from Mr.

Dunks, whose children are suffering from an attack of diphtheria. The doctor says 'he disease has not -appeared in its most malignant form, and the children will probably recover. PETER.
