''CoNnNG EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BE-
FoRE.n-In the latter part of the year 1856,
and the beginning of 1887, occurred the singu-
lar fact in the commercial history of the coun-
try, of -four, then ranging from ten to twelve
dollars per barrel being actually imported from
Liverpool to New York, where it had been pre-
viously exported from New York to Liverpool
This strange event was symptom of the dis
turbing elements then at work in the CONNER
cial world, and which resulted in the terrible
explosion that convulsed the country in May,
1887. This explosion caused many thousands
of bankruptcies and debts, which amounted to
more than five hundred millions of dollars, all
Of which were wiped off by the application of
the bankrupt law.
Coming events cast their shadows before"
Flour is now sold at very high prices; and we
find that it returns from California. after
having been sent there from New York. The
disturbance and confusion in the state OF trade
at present developed, ought to throw out a
warning to all business men to take very good
care OF themselves and their business for the
next year or two.

U A letter from Rome says: "This
has been plendid season; the number of
English and Americans is quite fabulous,
and they have been we'll amused in the
Eternal City about forty grand balls and
innumerable smaller reunions" during
the carnival. Princess Doria received all
the elite at magnificent fete, where the
splendor of the palace and the amount
of riches displayed might have astonished
many crowned head. Prince Torlonia
had vast ''c-ush ball" and the French
Ambassadors, Countess de Rayneval,
gave grand rout at the Colonna Palace.
Nor have good dinners been wanting
the Duke of North hdmberland has given
splendid banquets once week. Last
week, too, there was a large entertain
ment given by Mr.. Hooker, partner in
the bank of Maquay & Pskenham, to the
late President of the United States, Mr.
Martin Van Buren, at which many of
the most distinguished residents and
strangers in Rome assisted" The Duke
of Wellington, who has been enjoying the
carnival here, was present, as well as
Cardinal Altieri, Prince Massimo. Sir
Alexander Mallett, Duke of Sarmonetta,
and others. But now all the gaieties,
except the hunt, are, perforce, over. and
the correct Romans given up to fasting
and saying their prayers.

DOWNFALL OF THE pillar OF PEACE. :"
Upon one of the highest cliffs which
form the dividing line between Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, and which consti-
tute at that point the .'back bone of Eng
land" there was erected in the year
lSl4--l5, tall and massive column of
rock, commemorative of the Joy which
the inhabitants of those wild districts
felt at the abdication of Napoleon sug-
gestive memorial cf the blessings which
peace had at last brought to the two
countries which it separated A large
number of persons subscribed to the cost
of its erection; and it was called the
Pillar Of Peace" A few weeks since,
however, we learn from the London
Times, the people of Langfeld were
alarmed by loud noise, as Of peal of
thunder from the heavens, and upon look
ing towards the summit, they found that
their old landmark lay in ruins about its
base. An ominous accident.

Noah's Messenger, in reply to a cores
pondent, who thinks the term Sunday, a.
applied to the first day in the week, hea
thenish, remarks:

sively over each hour of the twenty-four
of each day, as above given-dies Sat-

&c. Nearly every nation, among which
we may mention the Egyptians, Chinese.
and Indians, have all distinguished the
day of the week by the sun and planets.
Our Saxon ancestors, from whom we
have more directly derived our names.
also designated the days of the week by
the sun and planets. Our Saxon anceS-
tors, from whom we have mc-e directly
derived our names, also designated the
days of the weeks by the names of their
gods. Dies Soils, or the day of the sun,
was in Saxon Sunna daeg.
The sun was worshipped by some hea-
then nations, though this did not strictly
give rise to the name of the day, as it
was called the same by some nations
which did not consider that Iuminary
divinity. 1t is just as heatherish to saw

ly applicable to any day except the Jew
sh day of rest, the Hebrew Specification
of which is, to cease. In fact, we con-
slider it evidently improf er to call the
first day of the week by the name of Sab
bath, there being no warrant for it in
either profane or sacred history. The
day was never kept as one of rest until
the time of Constantine the Great, who.
IN the extravagant devotion he felt for the
religion to which he had been so suddenly
and mysteriously converted, ordered "a.
D. 32l) that it should be kept in all cities
and towns; but he allowed country peo.
pie to follow their work. In 53S, the
Council of Orleans prohibited country
labor. Some pedanGc ministers scrupn-
lously avoid mentioning Sunday, and
always style it Sabbath. This, however.
is mere affectation. 1t is in much better
taste to style 1t " Lords Day."

WONDERS OF MEMoRY.-It is reported
that the historian, Fuller, in 1907, had q
most retentive memory; he could repeat
five hundred strange, uncommon words
after twice hearing them; and sermon
verbatim, after reading it once. He un-
dertook, after passing from Temple Bar
to the farthest part of Cheapside and
back agnin, to mention all the signs over
the shops on both sides of the streets, re-
peated them backwards, performing the
task with great exactness.
We were acquainted with young man,
clerk in this city, who once committed
to memory in q single evening,a whole
page of the New York Journal of Com
merce, aud repeated the same with great
exactness. Inthe company of number
of Literary young men, he defed any one
present to repeat a line OF. poetry from
any standard work, the next Line Of which
he could not recite, and also give the name
of the author. Some hundreds of quota
tons were made, and in each instance
the right author was named, and the con-
necting lines given. The power Of re-
tention IN this person S memory was most
remarkable, as the above named facts

HIPP0CRATEs AND BAccHUs.

A society has been formed for the pur-
pose Of procuring the legislative pro-
hibition of the sale of fermented liquors,
except for medicinal purposes. Should
a law to that effect be enacted, the only
question will be, what purposes are, or
not, medicinal but that question will be
rather what is termed a poser. For eX-
ample, melancholy is disease, and il
brandy and water is permitted to be
taken in cases of mental depression,
there will be no end to keeping spirits up
by pouring spirits down. a dram is q
popular and efficacious remedy for pain
in the interior, but if that is to be allowed
as an excuse for taking it, the majority
of the population will be constantly
having stomach aches. Soms people may
think to settle the difficulty by referrinl

of the tax upon snuff, which some of the

liquor to healthy applicants, in the hope
OF getting them for real patients. An
English liquor law, treating strongdrinks
as drugs, would at any rate be boon to
the medical profession. For one draught
that physician now prescribes he would
have to prescribe thousands, if in him
were vested the privilege of prescribing
