PORT OF NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH

The Holy GATE.-There is one gate to the
Kremlin, in Moscow, called the Spass Verota,
or the Gate of the Redeemer. On going
through this gate, il the thermometer were
thirty degrees below zero, the Emperor would
be compelled to take off his hat, and keep it
off all the way. No one is allowed to 60
through covered, and dogs are not permitted
to pass at all. 1t is sacred on account Of q
picture of the Saviour which hangs above it,
and which is said to have worked miracles to
save the gate. Many times when the Tartars
attacked the city, miraculous clouds obscured
the entrance from them, while the believers
were safe within. In 1912, the French tried
to mount up to the picture to obtain the gold
from it, but the ladder broke in the middle.
Enraged at the failure, they attempted to bat
ter it down with cannon; but the cannon
would not 60 off; so they built fire over the
vent but 10 the cannon burst into ten pieces,
and the French were killed right and left. If
one attempts to pass this gate covered, he hears
the sentry cry, "The hat the hat, father !"
and should he persist, the interior Of Russian
guard-house would be the first interior his eyes
would rest upon.

Origin Of nIormonism.

The origin of Mormonism may be known
already to many of our readers from the pub
lshed accounts in newspapers, but the follow
ing from the speech of Hon. John Thompson,
of New York, delivered in the U. S. House of
Representatives, gives more succinct and
graphic description than we have yet seen
"Mormonism as religious system had its
origin in romance, written about the year
1910, by Solomon Spalding, a native of Con-
necticut, who had been educated for the min
removed to Cherry Valley, New York, where
he amused his leisure hours by weaving into a
book entitled by him the "MSS Found" the
notion entertained or suggested by some writ
ants of the lost ten tribes of Israel. Hence,
he starts them from Palestine, inyents for them
various fortunes by food and field, wars, quar-
res, turmos, strfes, separations, until they
people this continent, and leave behind them
the vestiges of mounds, tumuli, Notifications,
sculpture, and cities dilapidated, which are
discovered in Northern and Central America
1t is written somewhat in Scripture style, and
uses the machinery. of the Jewish economy

'ous persons who yet remember it, but was not
successful in procuring its publication. Some

fell into the hands of 10 Smith, native of
Windsor county, Vermont Smith was about
twenty years of age, and already exhibited
that singular compound of genius and folly, of
cunning and absurdity, Of Incidence and ener-
gy, of craft and earnestness, which dstin-
guished him to the end of his career.
"Under the new-light preachers of that day
Smith became imbued with all the wild and
extravagant notions of seeing sights; hearing
voices; receiving revelations, and meeting and
fighting the devil in bodily form; which indi-

solid instruction and fixed principles on religi-
Gus subjects. Enthusiasm ran mad through
the whole region where he dwelt and Smith
was one of its most brilliant exemplificatlons; (;

systems were wrong, and that he should be

than five years he vbrated between his eau

dark hints about certain mysterious plates to
be dug up by him, containing new revelation,
Part Of his time was spent in lying, swindling
and debauchery, and the remainder in visions
and repentance the vulgar habits of the brute
contending with the higher functions of the
prophet. At length he pretended to dig out
the plates from the side of HILL in Palmyra,

A great many young men, who start out in
life with fair prospects, run well for a season.
then they waver, and finally are irretrievaby
engulphed in ruin. This comes, in the major

except by your own acts. If any one speaks
evil of you, let your life be SO that no one will
believe him.
Drink no kind Of intoxicating liquors.

LADIES "RAIsING THE WND."-A novel
parade recently came off at Pittson, Pennsyl'
vania, on the occasion of the donation visit
for the benefit of the Rev. Mr.. Stocking. Two
barrels of -four, bushe of potatoes, and hall
one of onions, were presented to the pastor
by some of the citizens, provided the ladies
would haul the same from the Pennsylvania
Coal Company's office to the residence of the
pastor, distance of abouta quarter of mile
The challenge was accepted by the ladies', who
assembled on the following morning TO the
number of about one hundred, and, headed by
the Pittson Brass Band, marched off in fine
order with the provisions. The turnout col
lected together quite concourse of citizens,
who followed the procession to the place oi
their destination, which, when they reached,
the ladies turned on them and collected, by
way of toll some ten or fifteen dollars.

THE MARRIED MAN.-How is it, says Black
wood, that the girls can always tell married
man from single onef The fact is indisput
able. The philosophy of it is beyond our ken
The simple fact of matrimony or bachelorshT
is written so legbly in mans appearance that
no ingenuity can concealit. Everywhere there
is some inexplcable instinct that tells us wheth
er an individual (whose name, fortune, and
circumstances are totally unknown) be, or be
not married man. Whether it is a certain
subdued look, such as that which characteristics
the lions in menagerie, and distinguishes
them from the lords of the desert, we cannot
tell; but that the truth is so we positively
affirm"
You're wrong, Blackwood, and don't know
any such thing. We know a man who came
suddenly into community where the young
ladies' all tried to look "killin'" at him, think.
ing him unmarried, and never found out their
mistake till he brought his wife among them.
There was decided Goodness thereafter
though.
Mariposa Democrat., 1858-04-01

THE LIGHT OF THE MooN.-As the moons
axis is nearly perpendicular to the plane o.
the ecliptic, she can scarcely have any change
of seasons. But, what is still more remarka
Bile, one half of the moon has no darkness Al
all, while the other half has two weeks of light
and two of darkness alternately; the inhabit
ants, if any, Of the first half bask constantly
in earthshine, without seeing the sun, whils
those of the second never see the earth at all
For the earth reflects the light Of the sun tC
the moon in the same manner as the moor
does to the earth; therefore at the time o.
conjunction, or new moon, her further side
must be enlightened by the sun, and her nearer
half by the earth; and at the opposition OF
full moon, one half of her will be enlightened
by the sun, but the other half will be in total
darkness. To the lunaries the earth seems the
largest orb in the universe; for it appears to
them more than three times the size Of the
sun, and thirteen times greater than the moon
does to us-exhibitng similar phases to her
self, but in a reverse order; for when the
moon is full, the earth is invisible to them, and
when the moon is new, they will see the earth
full. The face Of the moon appears to US per-
manent, but to them the earth presents very
different appearances, the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans, in the course Of each twenty four
hours successfully rivet their attention. The
moon being the fiftieth part Of the bulk of our
globe, and within 5000 miles of US, may be
brought by proper telescope which magni-
fies 1000 times, to appear as she would to the
naked eye were she only 250 miles off.

ABOUT SSEBnNG.-St. Aubin tells us that
the ancients were wont to go to bed again il
they sneezed while they put on their shoes.
Aristotle has problem, "Why sneezing from
noon to midnight was good, but from night to
noon unluckyP" Eustatius on Humor says,
tina. sneezing to the left was unucky, butpros-
porous to the right; Hippocrates, that sneez-
ing cures the hickup, and is profitable to vari-
Gus diseases.
Pliny, Apuleus, Petrionius, and dozen
others, have all something to say about it and
Buxtorf tells us that sneezing was mortal
sign, even from the first man. until ii was
taken off by the special supplication Of Jacob.
From whence, as thankful acknowledgment,
this salutation first began, and was after con-
tnued by the expression of te6inehaum or
rita bona, by ISLANDERS by, on all occasions Of
sneezing."
When his majesty the king of Minomotapa
sncezes, those who are near him salute him in
so loud tone that the persons in the ante
chamber hearing it, join in the acclamation.
In the adjoining apartments they do the same,
till the noise reaches the street, and becomes
propagated through the city; so that at each
royal sneeze most horrid cry results from the
salutations of his many thousand vassals. A
somewhat different custom prevails in Senarr,
where, when his majesty sneezes, his courtiers
Immediately turn their backs on him (for that
time only and give themselves loud flap on
their right thigh.
