The MooN.-An interesting pa-


Naturalists, now in session at N.
York. on thursday last, by the au-
thor, James ID. Dana. ESQ. The
following, from the Tribune, gives
the substance Of it:
1.-The surface of the Moon has
been minutely studied, in a physi-
cal point Of view. and already ma
ny interesting geological discove-
ries have been made. 1903 lunar
lights have been measured by Beer
and Nader. Drawings of seve-
raj OF these mountains were exhi-
bited by Mr.. Dana.] One impor-
tant subject in regard to the Moon
yet remains unexplained-viz: the
immense magnitude OF it's craters.
One Of them has beer ascertained
to be $50 or 200 miles in diameter,
and $4,000 feet deep. The crater
Bailey is l49 Is statute miles in
diameter. 1t was stated in the
report that two-thirds of all the
lunar hemisphere in view-com-
posing its Southern quarter-are
covered with volcanic mountains.
The names, heights, depths and
pcculitrities of the various craters
and mountains o!' the Moon were
particularIzed in the paper Of Mr..
Dana, and numerous drawings
plans Of these elevations and the
inside oftheir cr;:ters-wcre shown.
The walls of the craters are fire.
quently SO regular as to appear
almost artificial. One very singu-
lar circumstance observable in
them is, that the sides appear more
Illuminated, more brilliant, than
the bottoms. May not this be ac-
counted for by the existence Of a
nebulous light, apparently in the
lower portion? 1--WE are not sure
that we caught the exact idea Of
the speaker. Ifnot, will he please
correct us
The absence Of water in the
Moon, and the principal volcanoes
elsewhere observed, were then
treated off; after which were ta-
ken up the subject Of the geology
OF the volcanic regions, and the
distribution Of land and water on
our globe, as compared with the
Moon. In the ocean, all the ISL
ands, except the corals, are Of an
igneous formation.
When Mr.. Dana closed, Pro-
fcssor Silli.nan inquired how Mr..
D. would account: for the volcanic
action of the Moon without the
agency Of water to produce the
vapors always accompanying I,
volcano To which MIR. llama re-
piled that i! was not absolutely
decided that there is no water in
the Moon, but that none had yet
been perceived. Before ne had
time to answer Prot. Sil!imnn's
special interrogation, the Presi-
dent, DR.. jackson. remarked that
the presence of chlorime in the
Moon was not improbablc--as this
substance had been found in the
mctcoric stones-and might no,
this be the cause Of vapors of lu-
mar volcanoes Sulphur has also
been found in meteorites."
The Earthquake, which was
mentioned last week, WIS felt in
nearly all parts OF Massachusetts
from which any accounts have
reached US since the occurrence :;
and the shock was quite severe at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and
in all the towns on the Merrimac.
a letter from South Gardiner re-
presents it as having been distinct
ly felt IN that place, and this was
also the case at Athol and South
Orange. The earthquake does
not appear to have been noticed
in Rhode Island, but we learn from

LlTERATUEE-The Philadelphia cor
responder; Of the Charleston Evening
News says that Washington Irving,
who will soon return home, will imme-
dialeIy put TO press his History of Mo-
hammcd, the materials Of which he has
collected during his residence in Spain
from the Moorish manuscripts and le-
gends. Prescott has ready his Con
quest of Peru, which will be followed
by a life Of PhiIip the Second Mr..
BAncrot, .'as compl",ed the fourth vo-
lumr of his History of the U. States,
which will soon appear Jared Sparks
is engaged in writing History of the
American Revolution. The Hon. Jno.
p. Kennedy, remarks the correspon-
dent of the News, "who so gracefully
combines the qualities of the statesman
and the man of letters, has, since he left
Congress, been engaged upon Life of
Writ"
SOME DIFFERENCE.-The first re-
gular mail in This country com>
menced its journey from New York
on New Years day, in 1873, by a
sworn messenger, and ''sealed
bag" once a month, to and from
Boston, Hartford, Connecticut, and
places along the road" Now, we
transmit intelligence in less than
a second.
LITTLE K1NDNEss.-Small acts of
kindness !-how pleasant and de-
sirable do they make life. Every
dark object is made light by them,
and every tear Of sorrow is brush
ed away. When the heart is sad
and despondency sits at the en-
trance Of the soul, a trifing kind
ness drives despair away, and
makes the path OF lite cheerful and
pleasant. Who will refuse kind
act! 1t COSTS the giver nothing.
but is invaluable to the sad and
sorrowing. 1t raises from misery
and degradation, and throws a.
round the soul those hallowed joys
that were lost in Paradise.
A man went home the other
evening, and found a new and
somewhat oriental attachment on
his wife's piano. 1t was put on
by the sheriff.
