- One Of the most noted nromenader,

~ One Of the most noted promenaders
Of our streets on d Sunday is q man with a
white gauze skull cap, and long stIaight
muslin robe, gathered in at each side of the
waist. Lis hair is soft and waving, his
features regular and pleasing, but all very
black. Mohammed is a Javanese. His
countrymen are the blackest Of the Oriental
nations, and the skin has not the common
oily sm0othDoss, but is cracked and so0ty.
These people are Mahomedans.
The big fellow lying in yon cot at the
hospital, with bold and knotty features,
whom you at once suppose to be o German,
is really an inhabitant Of the MbrQuesas Isl
ands. His people areremarkable Tor their
difference from both the Malayan and the
Papuan races Of the Pacific They have
been among the last to surrender their fer0-
cious habits. Perhaps this man may have
helped to pick tire bones Of q roasted enemy.
And so you may find them from every
portion of those regions that have, until this
day, been called the ends Of the world and
representing all the creeds of our bewildered
humanity. 1t IS 4 wonderful thing. Here
we christians are, at length, raising our in
stitutions, and lifting mountain high our
light, whose beams shine far over the dark
and lonely ocean wastes. The nations be-
hold it, Ike sea-birds, from every quarter of
the heavens. The clouds over them become
brighter, and they are attracted byitsrays.
As We meet in our daily walks with these
unconscious pilgrims to the shrine Of reli-
gi0n and civilization, every sincere heart
must vearn for the advancement OF truth
and righteousness in our midst-must hope
that the impressions made viii be such as
viii be Of great benefit to the homes to
which they shall return, and must pray fo1
the advent Of the day when "the Lord shall
| famish al the gods Of the earth, and meI
shall worship Him, every one from his place
even all the isles Of the heathen"

a NEW DIsEAsE.-During the last chol-
era season, q newly caught Dutchman made
his advent in the city of New Orleans, and
set forth in quest of boarding house. He
inquired OF the first one he saw if they had
the cholera in the house.
The reply was yes and Duchy moved
bo0ts.
lie asked the same question and receiv-
ed the same answer at three or four others.
Finally he found landlord who assured
him that there was no cholera in his house.
and there the Dutchman concluded to tarry
awhile
The landlord was pious man. and al
ways had family worship before separating
for the night.
According to the custom, therefore, the
family assembled for prayer. During the
exercise, the Pat6r Jamtlio groaned, and up
popped Dutchy, With
'Oh, Lord vat is ter matter?'
Nothing, says the host and the servi-
ces went on. In a short time, the landlord
groaned again, and again Duchy started up,
with eyes like saucer8, saying
Goa. mine Got. dere is something te mat
ter nit you"
No" said the landlord adding by way
Of quieting the Dutchman-
I'm a Methodist, and it is the habit of
most OF the members Of the church to groan
during religious exercises"
Up jumped Duchy with his hat and bag
gage and scuds along the street at speed
that would shame a 240 racer. Seeing q
physicians sign, he called and told the doc
tor to run quick to No - street.

tor. "Have they got the cholera?"
No, but mine Got in Himmel dey has

\ paper was read by professor Bach before

that at nine o'clock on the morning Of the
23d of December, 1854, an earthquake oc-
CURED at SimOda, on the Island Of Niphon.

which again rcceded and left the harb0r
dry. This occurred several times. The
United States has sefacting tide gauges at
San Francisco and San Diego, which record
the rise Of the tide upon cylinders, turned
by clocks; and at San Francisco, four thou
sand six hundred miles from the scene of
the earthquake, the first wave arrived twelve
hours and sixteen minutes after it had rece-
ded from the h&rbOr Of Simoda. It had
Travelled across the broad bosom of the Pa
cIhc ocean ct the rate of six and halfmiles
a minute, and arrived safely on the shores
Of California, to astonish the scientific ob-
servers oi the coast surveying expedition
The first wave, or rising of the waters. at
San Francisco, was seven-tenths of a foot in
height and lasted for about half an hour
It Was followed by a series Of seven other
waves Of less magnitude, at intervals Of an
hour each. AT San Diego similar phenom-
ena were observed, although on account of
the greater distance from Simoda, -four
hundred miles greater than to San Francis
co., the waves did not rise SO soon, and
were not quite SO high.
