Mr. J. G. Whittier has three sonnets in the
Christian Union, the first and best of which
on “Requirement" we quote: ,
We live by Faith; but Faith is not the slave
Of text and legend. Reason's voice and
God’s ‘-
Nature’s and Dnty’s never arsat odds.
What asks our Father of his children save
Justice and mercy and humility,
A reasonable service of good deeds,
Pure living, tenderness to human needs,
Reverence and trur t, and prayer for
light to see
The Master's footprints in our daily ways i—
No knotted scourge, nor sacrificial knife,
But the calm beauty of an ordered life
Whose very breathing is unworded praise
A life that stands, as all true lives have
stood, .
Fast. rooted in the faith that God is Good

LETTER FROM BROOKLYN.
The que'stionyof rapid transit from the fer-
ries to the extremities of our widely extend-r.
ed city, so long agitated, seems now reallyE
near a solution. The elevated road which
has been partly constructed for many
months, has passed into the hands of capital-i
ists who appear dimmed to complete it at
once. It has been hoped that some better;
contrivance than a railway in the air, like;
those in New York with their m. objec-'
tionable features, might be devised for us,
but even such a means of rapid transit is
preferable to the tedious and uncomfortable
horse cars. _ , . '
The Long Island Historical Society, now.
well endowed by the liberality ofour sill;
sons and especially by the generosity of Mr.
George I. Seney, is enjoying its beautiful
new building which, besides furnishing ac-
commodation for its valuable library and
collections in natural ‘ history, provides a
very tasteful lecture room of moderate size,
seating six hundred, and coming into imme-
‘diate demand for select entertainments. Dr.
John Lord is just now giving in this hall a
farewell course of lectures on historical sub-
jects. previous to retiring from the lecture
field in which he has so long held an
eminent place, These lectures are the fruit
of full fifty years of study and are replete
with wit and learning. His method is not
to give biographical or historical details ’to
any great extent, but rather to assume in his
hearers a general familiarity with these facts;
He enters'more'especially into an analysis of
the character and peculiar genius of the per:
son of whom he treats, illustrating his views;
by what that person has written, said or
done. Thisenables him to be discursive and
brilliant, and he never fails to paint a pretty
distinct picture. of the again which the par-
ticular individual who gives title to the lee-
ture is the leading and perhaps controlling
figure. His new lecture on Dante I heard
the other evening and enjoyed greatly as
setting forth the poetic work of .that remark-
able man in a very striking and impressive
light. It seems one of the sad things in our
life here that such valuable instructors as Dr
Lord must sink into silence with the years
and their voices cease to charm and inform.
Could the poets and orator's and eloquent
lecturers and. earnest divines be immortal
here it would seem that the race must rise
far more rapidly into a nobler life; but the
appointed way is of course the best. for the
work of the world's improvement rests not
on men butgon God.
Many fail to take this view and seek an
explanation for all that occurs on principles
that are only human. The Atlantic Monthly
in a late number has a favorable review of
Prof. Renoua's work on the "Origin and-
Growth of Religion, as illustrated by the:
religion of ancient Egypt." The idea, both
of the writer in the Atlantic and of the
learned author whom he reviews, is that
Religion is simply a system of thought and
worship that originated in the minds of
Egyptian sages. Those whtfliave received
the light of revelation through Christian
faith know how far short this comes of ex-
plaining the pOWer of the Gospel on the
hearts of men the world over. A good deal
of interest is taken in the change of editor:
ship of the Atlantic Monthly which under
Mr. Howells has maintained very fully its
high character. Mr. Aldrich, who succeeds
now to the control, will find it dificult to
improve upon the good work of his prede-
cessors.
, Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, is deliv-
ering in New York a series of lectures on
English Reformation, to large and apprecia-
tive audiences. Mr. George A. Jarvis, of'
this city, founded a permanent lecturcship a:
year ago, and this is the first course delivered
in accordance with its provisions. It is a
great privilege to hear a theologian of so rare
ability speak on a subject to which he has
given the close research of many years.
Navigating; the are
‘ nor so mapsam‘a‘s r-r'r‘rrex'r mar. ’
Itishardly necessaryto-rthltthelnm-
ductiou of a locomotive machine which
would transport a large number of people
the rate of thirty miles an hour, would be a
startling novelty in our travelling arrange-
ments. Let us glance at the advantages it
would offer. Comparing it first with aquatic
locomotion, it would be far quicker than any
boat hitherto made, vastly less expensive in
first outlay and cost of working, would re-
quire no harbors, would produce no sea sick-
ness and would escape the greatest dangers
inherent in water mavigation. Viewing it,
secondly, as a means of land transport, it
would be quicker than common, road travel-
ling, and would compare fairly with the or.
dinary speed on railways, while it would
entirely dispense with the enormous and
costly provisions requisite for both these
modes of getting over the ground, and be
free from the multitude of liabilities to acci-
dent attending them. But it may naturally
be objected that such a mode of locomotion
would have peculiar dangers of its own. No
doubt balloons have hitherto been very subject
to accidents, and the bare idea of anything
going wrong at a height of thousands of feet
above the earth has in it something very ap-
palling. But much of this impression will
vanish before common-sense reasoning. It
must always be borne in mind that. for the
purposes of locomotion, there would be no
reason for ascending high into the air; it.
.would’ only be necessary to keep a sufilcient
altitude to clear terrestrial impediments, and
this would not only do away with much of
the terror of the idea,.but would greatly in-
crease the probability of a safe escape from
aecidents of whatever kind. Let us seein
what direction danger might, in extreme
envelope or otherwise is a remote possibility;
but the experience of many actual cases has
proved that the resistance of the air to the
large surface exposed has sufficed to prevent
any rapid fall ; special measures might be
easily provided, and at low elevations over
land no serious catastroplfl need be feared on
this ground. In crossing over water‘,precuu-
tions would still be possible. and the case
would not be so llOpeiess as in many marine
guarded against, need not be greater than in:
a ship at sea. Indeed, if we believe M. Gif-
fard, who has tried the experiment, the idea
of such a danger is quite an illusion. The
accidents that arise to ordinary balloons al-
ways occur in the descent, w ,if the wind
is high requires great care a
agement. In this case the propelling power
usut could choose his place of landing with
the :wind, he could avoid the drag-
ging which is so dangerous. and which has
so often brought a fatal termination to bal-
loon voyages. The worst conjuncture con-
elvablo would be a break down of the pro-
pelling machinery at s time when it was
wanted to aid the descent in agale. But
the risk of such a break down could be made
very slight by ordinary mechanical precau-
tions. On the whole there can he; no good
reason to believe that the dangers would be
more formidable with this than with other
quently occur in land, river and sea traffic,
and consider how many of these causes
balloons would be the safest as well as the
uncertainty it must always be liable to in
will endeavor to estimate its exact value.
We will assume that we can steam through
miles an hour; but this will only account for
useful locomotion in a dead calm; if there
is any wind, by carrying the balloon along
with it it will clearly influence both the ef-
fective direction and the eflective speed.—
Dr. Wm. Pole, in fortnightly Review.

Surname r0 Sermon—A New York public
school teacher, of large experience, the esti-
mble Miss Wright, urges the necessity of
proper clothing for school girls and boys in
cold or chilly weather. The boy or girl is
not dressed when a heavy coat, scarf and
mufiier are piled upon its shoulders, not even
if it is provided with ear-warmers, mittens
or amufi. If it has a short dress or short
trousers and a long space of thin stockings
to meet the cutting blast, it does not make
much difierence how much stout cloth and
merino are usgd to cover its arms and neck
it will be cold; and not even the proud
satisfaction of stylish “Knickerbockers” will
keep the boy from hoarseness, sore throat,
or worse. It seems to the chance observer
that the boys are rather worse than the girls
just now. There are very few mothers
The churches that observe Lent are in the
midst of their special services, and much in-
began. There seems also increased attention
generally throughout the city to religious
truths, and a deeper feeling: exists among all

The German Hive Swarmlug.
News comes from Germany that an emi-
gration movement has begun which promises
to be of a magnitude unparalleled in the
history of that country, and which creates
considerable anxiety in Government circles.
In some parts of Posen and Schleswig it is
reported that whole villages are being de-
populsted. The objective point of this re-
markable movement is, of course. the
United States. The German trader goes all
over the world, and is found .selling his
wares in all the continents and the islands of
the see, but the German Bauer and Hand—
werker—the farmers and mechanics of the
Fatherland—think first of the free Republic
of America when the Imigartory impulse
seizes them, and are rarely turned from their
purpose to become independent citizens of
this self-governing and prospering country.
The force of the new emigrating ‘movement
among the Teutonic people began to be felt
here last year, but the indications are that
we only got then an advance detachment of
the great swarm that is preparing to come
this season. Although the winter is not yet
over, the Hamburg and Bremen steamers are
already bringing full loads of stcerap
passengers. A late arrival landed nearly a
thousand at Castle Garden. Before the first
of May the German lines will beableto carry
only a fraction of the travel, and the English,
Belgian and French lines will be severely
taxed. - ‘ ’
We do not apprehend any evil conse-
quences to this country from this formidable
Teutonic invasion. Most of the immigrants
will know where they are going and what
they are geing to do, and will proceed at
once to the fertile plains of the West and
soon adjust themselves to their new sur-
rounding and be absorbed in the swift, clear
_ current of American life, enriching the new
States with their industry- and helping to
modify the native American character by
their example of frugality,content,persistence
and tolerance. There is'room for them all.
The future American race, which is to be
fused from all the many elements which now
find place on our soil, will be the gainer for
a large infusion of the sort of blood that runs
in their veins. . .

You may say what you please, but there is
luck in horse-shoes. A woman nailed one
up against the woodshed a month ago and
last week her husband sloped with the hired
girl. The man had not‘earned a cent for
more than two years. ,
“Seth,” said Mrs. Spicer, “I wish yo
would go and see to the furnace; . that Kate
is putting in coal as if she was firing a loco-
motive. And when Spicer remarked that
the girl was perhaps a railwaycinder-Kate
Mrs. S. grew warmer than ever.

foolish enough to have their little daughters
. dressed to the knees Only, although occasion-
terest is manifested despite the unfavorableE ally a Child wrth expensive earrings and
weather which has prevailed since Lent:
furs, may be seen allowed to go in this giraffe
style. Sometimes a poor child is seen scud-
ding along to school with a dress out of! at
the knees and trimmed with tucks; that
makes every thoughtful woman wish to have
a pull at the tucking thread and let out. the
poor sbiveringiittlo legs. Most little girls,
however, wear their dresses almost to their
boat tops in winter time, and have either
cloth leggings or stout woolen stockings to
match their dresses. The boys have decid~
edly the worst of it unless dressed in very
long overcoats. The graceful fashion of
Knickerbockers strapped to the knee, is a
very cruel one. if the boy is to wear only
cotton stockings, and some person imagine
that if the color is only dark enough, blue or
brown, the Child willbe warm. No doubt
many a cold,a dyptherctic acre throat or scar-
let fever is carried home because the child
is not warm enough to resist the disease, but,
shivering and out of sorts generally, carries
“about" of childish troubles' .

day-school missionary work is that which
- results from inducing those to engage in it,
'gas ofilcers and teachers, who have been led
. thereby to greater consecration and increased

j, been my privilege," Writes a ' missionary of
Ethe American Sunday School union in Mich-

iyoung men and women to become super in-

being able to do anything but for you,’ ‘All
I am as a Christian worker I owe to you ;’.
g‘I thank God. and I thank you for leading
lme into this work.’ The principal credit of
such results is due under God to those who
gsupport this work, and to the work itself
more than the agent. I have just received a
iletter from a man who was once a hunter
":and a fiddler, and very. ignorant until con-
:verted in the Sunday-school. but since then
[has been an earnest learner. and God has
done great things for and by him. For two
years he has had charge of a Sunday-school
organised by me, and has been very success.
iful in it. A young man whose education
had been neglected became a Christian two
years ago, was persuaded by me to be a
:teacher in one of my schools; be is now
superintendent." If nothing else had been
achieved in it, God is to be thanked for the
Sunday-school as a field for Christian em-
ployment and development—Church Union.

mbrial Commission, who came tow-rumor
to participate in the formal exercises per-
taining 'to the unveiling of Mrs. Hayes'
portrait to the public and the placing of it in

at the White House yesterday and formally

m: We'are here to present to
the nation through its honored chief a temr
perance testimonial from the men and wom-
en, high and low, rich and poor, fortunate
and unfortunate, who have loved her whose
pictured presence is now before us, because
they have felt that she‘ was the defender of
our homes; because amid the fogs of a
time-worn social conversation she held
steadily aloft the torch of an example safe,
gentle and beniguant. We stand in the
presence of one whose utterances and char-
acter are known to all the nation. I do not
forget in the ~tumit and strife of- a great po-
litical convention James A. Garfield of Ohio,
said: “Remember it is in the home where
the sovereign citizen has his wife and child-
ren gathered around him that God prepares
the verdict of the American people. I do
not forget that he reminded the women of
Cleveland when they came to Men or with
their congratulations, that, in every army
there are three classes: the scouts. whogo
ahead; the soldiers, who do the fighting, and
within all, the'home guards, and that he said
“God bless the women, they are America’s .
home guards." I do not forget that in his
inaugural he reminded us by the sacred words
“A little child shall load them" that the ten-
derness and sweetness of childhood had a
place in his thought in that supreme hour,
and so standing here I feel very much at
home as do we all in this kind and brotherly
presence. .Mr. President, whom do we rep-
present? We are a part of your constitu.
ency and we represent a great deal of earnest
hard work done in the name of God, and
home, and native land. We represent a
volume of. prayer rising like‘ incense to God
from the very first hour that we knew the
burden which had long been laid upon you ;
and always have we sought a blessing also
from on high upon her who is the mother of
your sons and of your sweet young daughter
and upon her who bore and cherished you.
We represent that numberless throng who
have a right to be heard in this presence
because of all that they have suffered. We
cannot speak to you of the graves of the
living and the graves of the dead" that have
strewn :our pathway, because ofjthe: cup
that tempts Only to destroy. Our principles
and @- endeavor are the inevitable outcome
of the philosophy of our century. Well is

higher significance of all these studies and
their practical results prays, pleads and

Among the applications of this great under-
lying principle none is gaining ground more
rapidly than the practice of a frecand vol-
untary total abstinence, for our own and
others sake, from these alcoholic drinks
which have alienated more hearts, dissolved
hateful deeds than any other agency outside
of Pandemonium. “Where is thy brother?”

Garfield’s reply: - .
Miss Willard, ladies and
gentlemen : The
sion which you have brought, the portrait of
its late mistress, I gladly accept. It 3 shall
take its place beside the portraits of the other
noble women who ‘have graced this house.
She is my friend. Nothing Ican say will be
equal to my high appreciation of the char-
acter of the lady whose picture is now added
to the tIcasures of this place. She is :nobie;
the friend of all good people. Her portrait
will take. and I hope, will always hold in
this house an honored place. I have observ-‘
ed the significance which you have given to
this portrait from the standpoint you occupy
and in connection with that work in which
you are engaged. First, I approve most
heartily what you have said in reference to
the freedom of individual judgment and ac-
There are
several sovereignities in this country. First.
a sovereignty of the American people ; then
the severeignty nearest to us all—that sov-
-ereignty of the family, the 'abeolufe right of

each family to control its afi'alrs -
ance with the conscience and convictions of
the family. In the picture before us that is
bravely symbolized. I have no doubt the
American people will always tender] regard
this household soverei ty, and owever
households may diffes is their views and
convictions,I believe;that those differences
will be respected. Each household, by. fol-
lowing its own convictions and holdingenaelf
responsible to God, will, I think. re-
spected by the American people. What you
have said concerning. these evils of, intent-
persnce meets my most hearty concurrence. '

with my own convictions an earnest advo-
cate of temperance. not in so narrow. scenes
as some, but in e vs definite and practical
sense. These convic one are deep, and will
be maintained. Whether I shall be able to

.“You must be early out of bed
If you wogl‘d catch the worm."
The smallest of the'fcathery herd-—
A puny little thing— .
Outsprang the tender baby-bird
To grub for worms and sing.
And 101 she found an early worm—
It was a monster, too— ' ,
She chirped, "Oh, you may writhe an
squirm, '
But I will gobble you 1”
Thafllrdling's chirp, the rest sum.
Was never after heard,
And it’s surmised it was the worm
That caught the early bird.
A Summer Hotel Without Ro-
. mantle Nonsense.
Yesterday the landlord of an up-country
summer hotel was in the city, and called on
several people to see if they would remember
his house when deciding on the place to go
next summer. He struck a broker who has
a large family, and mentioned what he want-
ed.
“Got a nice place i” asked the broker.
“Firewalls,” said the landlord.
“Many attractions ?”
“Several."
“How’s the scenery 1"
“Fair." ' -
“Any romantic spot where lovers jumped
03 a big blufi into a pond?"
“No; folks up our way don’t make such _
fools of themselves.". ,
"0, well, have you got any cave about .
with an old hermit in it i”
“No, air; if any auperannuated tramp .
tries to loaf about that part of the country:
and get money out of my guests by calling 5
himself a hermit, he’ll find himself in the ;
House of Correction quicker than a hornet ‘
can get his work in."
“Ah! Got a medicinal spring on your
place 1” . '
“No, air. If a man is sick we've got a
good physician in the vicinity, and good pure:
water is so plenty with us thiit we don’t try"
to economize on it by inducing our guests to.
drink from some nasty pool that’ll give ’sm‘
an attack of cholera." '
“I see. Well, then, how's the fishing 2”.
' “Can't catch two. fish a day in the whole
region, but there’s a number of good places
to go with a supply of punch and cigars to
play cards and have a good time, and Il
always keep a supply of trout on hand to fii
your baskets when you come home, so you
can show the speckled beauti'es to the women
folks." ,
“H’ml You don’t seem to have such at-
tractions as most of the summer resorts ad-
vertise."
“No, I haven’t. I have to rely on the fact
that I give a man a clean room, decently fur-
nished, plenty of chickenspnd vegetables to
eat, and lots of milk to drink. There's all
out-doors for the children to play about, and
a big shady piazza for the old folks to loaf
on. I charge folks a fair price for what they
have and if I catch a servant skirmishing for
fees, I give that servant the bounce. That’s
about all there is to it."
And the broker rose up and said, “You
may expect me with my family down at your
place about the middle of May. You’ve got
the sort of place I’ve been looking after for
ten years."—- . 1!. Hersury.

From the New York Herald.
“I am not an old man, to-day,” said Mr.
Gould, “but New York, even within my toe-
ollection, has expanded in the most marvel-
lous degree. My first visit to New York was
during the Crystal Palace exhibition. I was
‘ brought a little thing with me from my coun-
try home that I thought was going to make
my fortune and revolutionize the world.
What do you suppose it was i”
“I am sure I do not know.”
“It was," laughing heartily, “a mouse trap.
That mouse trap was to me the greatest
“thing in New York, It was not very big,
,but I took so much pride in it-it was so
precious to me—that I had a very handsome
mahogany box made in which to carry it. I
remember very well getting on one of the
street cars—I think it was on the Sixth ave-
nue line. I was a little more unsophisticated
in the ways of New York then than I am
now. I was anxious to see the city. It was a
wonder to me, and I stepped out on the
platform to look at- its ' blocks and blocks
of houses. In my innocence I left my
mouse trap on the seat. When I got to the
street where I wished to get off; I stepped
inside to get it, and, to my horror, found
that my mouse trap had disappeared. Turn-
ing to the conductor, I said : “What hashe-
come of my box 1" “That box that was on
the seat ?" “Yes.” “Was it yours?" “ch."
“Why, a man who got out and turned down
the street above carried it off. If you run
you will probably catch him." I ran and I
caught him. He was a great, strong fellow,
but I collared him. I really regretted that I
had done so and tried to get away, but the
fact is one of my fingers accidentally got
caught in one of the button-holes of his coat
and before I could get of! there was a crowd
around us and a policeman, who tookhoth of
us ofi to an adjoining station house. The
statements of the policeman and of the thief
and of myself were all heard. The magistrate
draw some nice legal and technical distinc-
tions, which came very near costing me' my
iberty. While the thief who stole my mouse
trap was committed for trial. I was given to
understand that owing to my inability to
furnish bail—for I knew no one in New
York then—I should be detained as awitness
until the trial came off. It was not a pleasant
introduction to New York; but I have never
forgotten it, and its recollection has often
afiorded me a good deal of amusement. For-
tunately for me, there was a detective in the
place who had been hunting my mouse-trap
thief for years, and who had a requisition
from, I think, the Governor of Pennsylvania
or New Jersey. He saved me. I forgot to
say that when, in course of the examination,
the box was opened to verify the truth of
my statement, and the purloiner of my
great invention found it was only, a mouse
:trap, his face assumed such an expression of
disgust that I really could not help laughing
at him, although I was at the time in one of
the most uncomfortable positions I had cer-
tainly up to that'time been placed in. That
mouse trap incident got, of course into the
next day’s Herald. I remember the title of
the article very well—‘How a Mouse Trap
Caught a Thief.’ It was the first appearance
of Jay Gould in the pages of the Herald.
“1 has been studying this city,” continued
Mr. Gould, “ever since that mouse trap ex-
ploit, and great as has been its growth in the
past, I predict a still greater development in '
the future."

The Mnte’s Yarn.
One evening, when the clouds looked wild_
and whirling, I asked X. if it was coming on
to blow. "No, guess not,” said he; “bum-
by the moon ’1! be up, and seed away that
’ere loose stuff." His intonation set the
phrase “scoff away" in quotation marks as
plain as print. So I put a query in each eye.
and he went on. .
“There was a Dutch cappen oust, an' his
mate come to him in the cabin, where he sot
takin his schnapps, an’ says, ‘Cappen, its a
gettin' thick, an’ looks kin' 0’ equally ;hedn’t
we’s good'sshorten sail ?’ ‘Gimmy my al-
minick,’ says the cappen. So he looks at it
a spell, an’ says he, ‘The moon’s due in less’n
half an’ hear, an’ she’ll scoff away ev'ythin"
clare agin.’ So the mate he goes, an’ bum-by
down he comes agin, an’ says, ‘Cappen, this
era’s the all-firedest, powerfullest moon ’t

ozone in the upper regions of the air may
give to the sky its blue tint. He argues that
ozone is constantly being produced by elec-
trical dischargel. and recent researches have
shown that ozone is blue in color.
Dr. Delauney. a well-known Paris savaut.
claims the discovery of'a‘ curious means of
luaglng a person's intelligence. . To mm
the qualities of an applicant cook, for in-
stance, it is suflcient to give her a plate to
clean, or sauce to make, and watch how she
moves her hand from left to right, or in the
direction of the hands of watch, she may be
trusted; if the other way, she is sure to be
stupid and incapable. The intellectuality of
other people may, in like manner, be deter.
mined by requesting them to draw a circle
on paper, and acting in which direction the
hand is moved. 'The inferiority of the weak
minded is invariably indicated by their draw.
ing from right to left.
Mr. Alex. Adams has made the remarkable
discovery of electric tides in telegraph cir-
cuits. By long-continued and careful obser- '
vations he has determined distinct variations
of strength in the earth currents, which are
always present on all telegraph wires,follow-
ing the different divernal positions of the
moon with respect to the earth.
A method of cooking by electricity is to
be exhibitedat the Paris Exhibition.

higher than Mount Blane.
In 1859 Herr Von Bezold inferred, from
observations in Bavaria, that there was an
increase from year to year in the number of
buildings (struck by lightning. There seemed
to be also an increase in the number of thun-
der storms, and this was assigned as the
cause A little later, observations by others
in Saxony and Schleswig-Holetein also
showed an increase in the number of houses
struck, but no comparison was made with
the number of thunder storms. Herr Holts
has lately made a fuller inquiry on the basis'
of data from all parts of Germany, and from
Austria and Switzerland. 'He publishes two
tables. one to show the increase or decrease
of thunder storms since 1854, since 189mm
since 1810, in the different regions; the
other, the increase or decrease of lightning-
risk estimated from comparison of the num-
ber of lightning-struck houses with .the
. entire number of houses. It appears, than,
i that while any increase in the number of
. thunder storms is extremely small, and there
, is in set. cases even a decrease, the light-
? hing-risk shows a very large increase, and
in no ca.ae a decrease. Thus, the increase of
. risk from lightning must be regarded as not
, due, unless in very slight measure, to mete-
orological influences. This appears more
distinctly from the, fact that the increase of
lightning-risk is proportro' nally greateras the
compared years are farther apart; but it is
not so with the increase of thunder storina
_ (which, for example, is less since 1854 than
1862). To explain the increased risk by
tulluric changes, Herr Holt: supposes the
clearance of forest land has much to do with
it; also, the increase of railways; both of
these bringing thunder storms more to towns
and villages. Another probable cause is the
lac nose of metal in house building.
Int g new discoveries have been
made at Pompeii. In one district a househas
been excavated which was in course of con-
struction when the terrible catastrophe hsfei
the city, and which difiers materially from
all other Pompeian houses in ‘its plan. In
another house a large square piece of black
glass was found fixed into the wall, which
when moistoned forms the most perfect mir-
ror. In a third house various wall-paintings
were discovered, possessing an artistic rather
than scientific interest.
That germs of disease may live for a long
period seems to be proveu by recent experi-
ments under the direction of M. Pasteur.
Seven sheep were led daily, for a few hours,
toopiece of ground where some animals
that died of anthracoid disease, or charbon,
had been. buried twelve years previously.
Two of them caught the disease and died.
There was no grass for the sheep to eat, and
it is thought those two must have received
the germs in the course of smelling about
the ground. On pm of the ground coverigg
the remains of the diseased animals vegeta-
bles are now grown ; and M. Pasteur sought
to learn if any person about ’ the farm had
been affected. The farmer knew of none
but showed a healed acre of malignant pus-
tule (the same kind 'of disease) on his own
face. M. Pasteur supposes that if the vege-
tables eaten had not been cooked,there might
have been a different tale to tell.
The feat of seeing the satellites of More
with a telescope is said to be equivalent to
that of a person at New York using an
object only two inches in diameter at Boston.

Building in New York this spring is on a
scale fitted to the great boom that inspired it.
Jay Gould is about to build a tall business
sturcture'on Park Row. John Jacob Astor
is going to put up a nine-story fireproof
building in Wall street. Vanderth is going
to raise to. eight stories his ofilce building,
corner of Beekman and Nassau streets. A
nine-story building.with..a 250 feet frontage
is tobe put up for a West Broadway grocery
house, at acost of $200,000, besides the land.
A Roman Catholic mission building, to ac-
commodate 1,000 boys, has just been put up,
ten stories high, on Lafayette Place. 'It cost
3250.000, all raised by 25 cent contributions.
Its water supply is from an artcsian well, in-
dependent of the Croton. A nine-story
apartment house is being finished at Fourth
Avenue and Eighteenth street. The three
Vanderbilt mansions on upper Fifth Avenue
are approaching completion. Their cost,
though very great, is not made public. The
company that will build an up-town opera
house to seat 3,000 persons is negotiating for
land now and will spend .000” this year.
Mr. Edward Clark, president of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company, is putting up a
fire-proof apartment building, covering an
entire block on Eighth Avenue. between 72d
and 73d streets. It will be nine stories high,
have fifty suits of rooms and have a restau.
rant on the first floor. Its cost will be 01,.
500,000. Columbia College will put up a
new building for its law school at a cost of
$750,000. A six-story building, 200 feet _
square, with apartments of three rooms each,
is being put up at First Avenue and 71st
street. It is to net only 5 per cent. and is
built to show that healthy, cheap homes are
possible. Arartmcnts will rent for .8 a
month. . Among private residences, Mr. H:
G. Marquand, of the Iron Mountain road,
having paid $160,000 for a lot on Madison
Avenue and 68m street,-is about to put up a
$250,000 house there. David ‘Dows has
lately finished a $200,000 house. The East-
man residence cost $250,000; and others are
beins put up.the price of which is not given.
Down town the new buildings all run to
height and ten stories are not considereda
wonder any longer. Up town the stories are
full as high; but they relate to: high prices.
They do not ever run wild on economy in
New York. The “period of depression" was
marked by more show of good clothes than
were ever seen there before. But since the
panic ended, there has been no limit to the
extravagance of the city. -

Did the Census Man get This?
The settlement of lower Oregon is gains
on at an unprecedented rate. A German
couple has.receutly arrived with fourteen
children, the mother being about twenty-five
years of age. They were married in the fall
of 1870. and the following summer their mar.

Less than two years later the woman, who
was then eighteen years old, gave birth to
four children, three girls and a boy, theist-
ter living only a few days. In the summer
of ’74 three more girls registered at that
humble hearth, and lu-1875 a boy arrived.
