time, and continued more than a
month. It was very dense, and so
luminous that at midnight 1t afforded
a light equal to that of the full moon.
During the day it obscured the sun
until it was twelve degrees above the
horizon, and the great orb continued
very red during the rest of the day,
and SO shorn of its beams that the
naked eye could gaze upon it easily.
/" This fog or smoke had a disagree
able smell, and was entirely destitute
Of any moisture" 1t has been as
serted that this was the tail of COM
ct enveloping our planet, and that thus
much and no more can comets damage
the earth.
AS the tails of comets increase in
length and breadth as they draw near
the sun, the tail Of the one at present
in sight may be expected to assume
ere long, the most magnificent pro-
portions. 1t has already increased
to size considerably greater than it
exhibited on its first appearance, and
even now fills the mind of the behol-
der with an inexpressible admiration
which makes him momentarily forget
full of his own insigni6cance.
AS we gaze upon its brilliant nu-
cleus and its long train of luminous
mist, and remember that it occupies
many millions of leagues in space and
is now nearing the sun with veloci-
ty of perhaps half million miles an
hour, the little affairs of our petty
planet and our petty selves are swal-
lowed up in the grandeur of a new
revelation. For the day of revela-
tons is not passed: "the brave Ger
hanging armament" older than Bible
or Koran, is full of them nightly, if
men would only look,no one of which
is less beautiful than the novel visitor
that draws all land fills all minds
with wonder.

speaking outside of propriety to say
that God superintended the laying Of
the telegraph cable, or checked oppe-
ration of fixed laws, to enable the tel

The fact that failure and loss attead-
ed the first attempt to lay the wire,
did not indicate the " approving
smile of Heaven y and the gale
which came near destroying the Aga
memnon in the final endeavor, re-
vealed no Divine supervision of the
work. Had not the Agamemnon been

have gone to where the cable now

the mind, through the medium of the
eyes, objects and ideas of which we
might, but for such aid, have remain
ed in ignorance.
After sinking into comparative dis
uetude through several ages, the art
Of wood engraving is united to the
system of printing which it suggest
ed, and the two together are destined
to extend infinitely the amount of hu>
man intelligence. Deprived of en-
graved pictures, of whatever kind,
thousands would lose their chief in>
structois, and the wisest might lament
the want of efficient and delightful
assistance. They convey most vivid
and enduring notions of distant coun-
tries and peoples, Of remote customs,
manners, and scenery. All that is
quaint, curious, or new, which does
not come under our direct observa-
ton, is chiefly laid before US in dupli-
cate by engraved pictures. We have
only to turn over the leaves of an liz
Illustrated book or newspaper to pos
sess ourselves Of knowledge that could
not be acquired, otherwise, without
much toll, time, expense, and all the
dangers and vicissitudes of travel
er's life. From the bold, striking,
and faithful cuts Of the pictorial pa
per what vivid ideas we gain Of pres
ent wars, of interesting localities, of
famous art objects; and how all the
notable men of the age, whose deeds
are its history, grow familiar to us as
we gaze upon their engraved photo
graphs Possessed of collection
of cheap wood cuts, or other engra>
wings, we can sit in our comfortable
homes, and, without neglecting the
ordinary pursuits of life or suffering
solitary inconvenience, acquaint our
eyes and minds with all the most re-
markable objects on earth, in the
heavens above, or that are in the
waters beneath. Nature in all her
forms, animate, and inanimate, passes
panoramically before our vision. All
the enduring monuments of human
art and ingenuity are presented for
our inspection. The dome Of st.
Peters rises grandly before as from
amidst the surl ounding architecture
Of Rome; and we see the leaning
towers of Pisa and Bologna bow
towards the up.turned gaze of human
wonder in the streets below the
aquatic and architectural beauties of
Venice-the city of the sea, the bride
of the Adriatic, the historical Tower
of London, the eternal pyramids and
Sphinx, the palaces of every country,
the buried cities Of the east, the inns
pregnable Businesses of Gibralter, the
mighty Himalayas, the fire-vomiting
Vesuvius, the mammoth caves of the
west, the wonders of science, and the
beauties of nature and art-all, in one
pictorial cyclopedia, pass before our
unwearied gaze, a gratuitous spectacle
of delight and ediGcation.

ENGRAVED PICTURES.

The obligations that we owe to the
art of engraving are not adequately
appreciated, and it is only when we
remember how much of the informa~
ton we possess, and what great
number of our most profitable and
pleasant ideas are derived from it,
that we can properly estimate its
value. The first engraving for the
purpose of obtaining impressions on
paper, or other soft substances, APP
pears to have been executed on wood,
and is said to have been originally
practiced by the Chinese at least as
early as the commencement of the
Christian era. The art was proba-
bly, introduced into Europe by Vene-
tian merchants at an early period,
but the first specimens of it concern
ing which we have certain knowledge
were executed in 1885 by brother
and sister of the name of Cunio, and
represented the exploits of Alexander.
From Italy, wood engraving found
its way to Germany, where it is said
to have given Gutenberg the hint for
using movable types. About the
same time it was nearly superseded
by the new method Of engraving on
copper, which was discovered b.
Finniguerra, goldsmith and sculptor
OF Florence. Thenceforth the art Of
engraving made rapid progress to per-
lection, and was cultivated by large
number Of artists in Italy and Ger
mary, and later in France and Engc
land. Very many of the painters
who fourished in the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries attained high dis
tinction as engravers, and their works
are hardly surpassed in vigor and
correctness, though they undoubtedly
are in softness and delicacy, at the
present day. After the discovery of
copper-plate engraving the more
cheap and simple art of engraving on
wood sank into the lowest state of
neglect, from which it was not eleva>
ted until the close of the last century,
when John and Thomas Bewick pub
lished their famous histories of quad
rupeds and British birds. The illus
trations accompanying these works
were all wood-cuts, and were Of so
much beauty that the art immediate.
ly revived. 1t has since been cults
waited to such degree Of perfection
as to rival copper~plate engraving,
whilst it is employed to an almost in
finite extent in the illustration of
books and papers on every subject
under heaven. Those works Of the
Bewick brothers were the first of that
countless swarm of pictorial publica-
| tons with which the English, French,
German and American presses now
TEEN, and to which mankind are IN
debted for so much pleasure and in-
struction. Wood engraving has made
possible the illimitable reproduction
of those costly art masterpieces which
would otherwise be almost entirely
beyond the reach Of popular inspec-
ton. It has proved an invaluable
educational assistant not only to child
hood, but to those advanced in life,
stamping instantly and indelibly upon

An Important Decision.

A most important decision has been made by
Chief Justice Shaw of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts, in case of the destruction of
the stock of an unlicensed rumseller by a mob
at Rockport in that State Stephen Perkins and
wife were concerned in the mob which destroy
ed the liquor, and had their trial at Salem where
they were acquitted not on the ground that they
were not guilty of the acts charged, but on the
broad principle that any person is authorized
by law to destroy liquors kept for illegal sale
Judge Shaw laid down the law with great dis
tinction as follows:
|. All persons have q right to abatc public nui-
sance. As in cases cited by defendants, individu-
ais may cut down gate erected in a highway, or
destroy bridge thrown over navigable waters.
am Of opinion that liquors kept Illegally for sale,
with the implements Of trade, having been decnr-
ed by law public nuisance, every person may de-
stroy them.
2. Ifkept in a shop, not n dwelling house, it is
justi6abe to so much force as is necessary to
at such liquor and vessels, for the purpose Of
destroying them-a dwelling house is surrounded
with peculiar sacredness, and in that the rule
would be otherwise The law abounds in maxims
declaring that mans house is his castle.
8. If the act is justifable when done by one per-
son, tnen III Is luStluhOlc Wnen uOne ny tDe COM
bnek action Of many II the net is right and one
may do it, and if three may do it, do not see why
a hundred may not do it.
II il high right TO be strictly construed. There
is danger in taking the law into ones own hands,
and that must he u most lamentable state Of soce-
ty, where such necessity exists do not see
that the presence and approval OF husbands and
fathers, magistrates, policemen, ministers Of the
Gospel, and deacons renders such action any the
more justifable, but if unjusti6able would make it
all the more formidable.
1t is the right of individuals to abate public
nuisance this right must be most cautiously cx-
ercsed. If liquor is found in the shop so enter
ell, or if unnecessary violence is uscd or any other
articles are taken destroyed, the justification
fails. It must have been kept there for illegal sale
If for sale at all, it Illegal. as the plaintiff has
been proven not to have been the authorized town
agent. Was it for sale at all OF this the defen-
dants must satisfy you. lift were for sale then
hold that they had right using as little force as
might be and ujuring nothing else, to enter the
shop in question, and destroy the liquor kept there
with the vessels in which it was kept and the i'm
PIGMENTS of such illegal traffic.
