obeying that commando
Could Ineligible words be flashed through
the cable to Valentia, without the fact being
more OF, less known to De Sauty, at the Trinity
Bay, terminus, if there really was living, SEN
tent, so-named, being ut that end of the rope?
Should we have first heard of the fact from Va
lentia?
If there really be aliying De sauty, we have
but to congratulate him on the high position he
occupies. If he be in the flesh, aud at Trinity
Bay, doing nothing, he stands before a wonder
ing world as an incarnate monument of Mastery
Inactivity.
TuE N. Y. correspondent of the Boston Post,
is down on Carlyle's new book, Frederick of
Prussia. He can't abide Carlyle Here's what
he says about him:
Carlyle is one of the most egotistical, domi-
neering, overbearing Scotchmen extant. He
sympathises only with brutal power, and among
1.-The men who have lived within the last two
hundred years, the most interesting to him is,
of course, the most brutal of them all. To make
a hero out of that disgusting old Prussian chap
whose principal achievement was to convert his
country into huge barracks, and to demoralizc
it by currying favor with that French atheist
and cynic, Voltaire,-to make a hero out. Oft this
feudal trooper Fritz, this is a task which could
only have been accomplished by a splenetic
Scotch Mephistopheles, like this same Thomas
Carlyle.
Now remember that this Carlyle boasts of
hating this country, because in this country the
poor laboring man has some chance of Improve
ment and you may easily account for the extrav-
agant admiration which his writings elicit from
the huge company ofsnobs, who under the name
of Vines politically, or EMERsoN1ANs plsiloso-
PticGlly, love nothing better than to coquet with
the worst forms of middle age tyranny. I pre-
dict that before the expiration Of twelve months

The hideous howl of admiration which some
OF our literati and clergytnen get up at the APP
pearance of new book by misanthropist like
Carlyle, or by bookworm like Buckle, is one'of
the most terrible evidences of the inanity of the
American mind.

A distinguished professor Of astronomy in
England, has comet the conclusion from re. re-.
cent observations taken of the moon, that the
dark patches " hich we see on its disk are fog
seas. The general surface and higher projec.
tons of the lunar spheroid are altogether uncoy-
cred and bare; but vapors and mists haye:rolled
down into the lower regions in sufficient guam
tity to fill up their basin-like hoows, exactly as
water has grayitated into the beds of terrestiaI
oceans. This opinion, or theory, appears to
have the countenance of many men of science.
