SPIRIT OF THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
BACON AND NEWTON.
from Harpers' New Monthly ]


Bacon taught the seventeenth century the science of
thought; Newton listened to the authoritative critic and
imbbed his spirit Bacon showed where had erred
Newton kept his eye the beaconight and lost
for instant its warning radiance Bacon declared how
Nature ought to be approached-the child like temper
the reverent docy, the simple trusngness the wait
ing humility the persevering energy the inyncbe hope
ulness the attributes that he commended in
who should inquire in Natures temple Newton an
swered to the splendid ideal His philosophy was re-
gion in every day apparel IT, in of enrapturing
revelations, it put its wosping robes and lifted high
its psalm like praise it quickly returned to the attitude
of disciple seated at Natures feet and brcathlessly
holding, awe-struck, the sublime thoughts that
the wonders of creation awakened within him. Bacon
stated the language in which the oraces of Nature
10 be questioned Newton adopted it, and was answered
Bacon enuncated the cardinal maxms of modern science
Newton took the axoms and based them his demon
STATIONS. What glorious felowship How mighty
the summons how majestic the response Both were
giants Of thought how like, and yet how unlike The
the most magnificent Of theorists the other was
the gigantic genius of reality. If the former laid the
foundations and erected the massive supersructure
of the temple Of modern science the latter opened its
portals that the glory of the universe might enter and
abide, for all time, above its dedicated shrine.
Both these illustrous men were discoveries Bacon
dscoverer of thought, and Newton of facts Bacon
worked within Newton without More perfect paral-
lelism never existed Acting in completest harmony
they have prosectyey secured the material universe
the human mind They the founders of the empire
of man nature Since their day the history Of in
telect has been history Of progressive growth Of fer
tile activity, of broad enlargement This Is not srpris
ing Periods of great discoveries have always been fol-
lowed by intense and widespread intellectual excitement
Men start into life They have another conscious
ness of power, They think higher thoughts and are
ready for grander achievements. Proclaim authent-
Gated TRUTH and the winds cannot bear it fast and far
enough The waters hasten with it precious freight
age, All nature Is in commoton to help it. We never
know, except at such times, what ministry truth has
in its service The armament is written all over with
fiery symbols The lost Peiad returns to its forsaken
orbit and Orion flames with new spendor. Hidden elo
quence in finds free utterance Dead Plato and dead
Cicero live again in the philosophy and sentiment of the
current day. Mind responds to mind All hearts are
put in sudden communication, and the electric thrill
throbs through them.

the population given by Gutzla at S67 600 OoO and

Guauo and Germination.-Guano has
been found to retard the termination Of
seeds. This is ascribed to the large amount
of ammonia it contains /; and hence, espe-
cially in heavy, soil, ammoniacal manures
should not be drilled in with the seed Even
the super phosphates do, not hasten germi-
nation, but when the young plant is up, then
readily available food in the soil is Of the
highest utility. Under no circumstances
should the seeds Of root-crops be planted in
contact with artificial manure, rather should
it have time to diffuse itself through the
|sofl-and 70 Secure this, it should be dis
tribated broadcast, or applied some time
before planting.

Cattle Pathozogy.-It has been determin-
led that Scrofula has of late years been con-
|siderably on the increase. among what may
be otherwise, designated the better breeds Of
animals. A case Of a unique character was
brought to the Infrmary Of the Veterinary
College. London, viz: that of heifer with
an affection Of the base of the brain. The
attack had been sudden, so much SO, as to
lead to the belief that she had sustained an
injury of the skull, but this was entirely
(disapproyed by the post morten, examina-
ton. The Change in the structure of the
brain was found to depend upon scrofulous
|diathesis, and afforded matter for deep re-
Fiction and discussion as to how much Of
the disease was due to hereditary causes.

TO Preserve Dried Fru:t from Moths. -
A fruit growing subscriber gives the follow

damaged by moths. As last years crop

year promising to be scanty, those Of our
readers who have some of the old stock on
hand may find it Of account to try the te-

The drops n, France -The Paris cores
pondent of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can under the date of July Is, mentions
that the city has been visited by weeks
rain, circumstance which has not occurred
tor the previous fifteen or eighteen months.
Previously great suffering and alarm had
been experienced on account of the drought.
The Seine had become very low, and at
Versailles water was selling by the bucket
full. Gloomy anticipations of the harvest
were everywhere entertained.
La the southern departments, and even So
far uorth as Lille and Dunkirk, the cutting
has now begun and although tie rain came
too late to effect tie Earliest, an afEera &c
yield IS expected. The straw is short and
the ear small, and in the envieons Of Paris
the crop will be small
The oat crop appears to have suffered
most severely, and in some districts is re-
ported as being complete failure. Barley
IS not much better, but the bean fields have
suffered most Of all. Grape IS also this
year very variable and uncertain produce.
1he vines are promising we'll, and the year
may &c safely pronounced as likely Is prove
a satisfactory enc, both as regards the guam
tlty and quality of the wines, notwithstand-
ing the representations to the contrary Of
alarmists and spectators, and the rurnors
lately propagated of the disappearance o.
disease The best sign of what is really
expected is to be found in the gradual fall
Of prices.

THAT MOUSTACHE.



Oh barber, spare that young moostache
Touch not single hair,
Your razor, brush and other trash
Must never venture there.
At last TIE bud has bursted out,
By much caressing taught, !,
Its frail young tendrils how they sprout
Then barber, touch it not.
Though well laid out and wide the field
Whence this young moustache shoots
The sickly sell 10 more can yield,
Oh, then, guard we'll these roots;
For should thy murderous blade sweep o'e1
That curved lips shaddowy mist,
The tender plants would bloom no more
Then, barber, oh desist!
Think Of the fair young girl, whose lip
Was wort SO oft to press
That bidding mouth, is sweets to sip
=, oh think IF her distress
lis unfedged manhood's pride and JOY
With 5sghs and tears twas bought;
Let no rude stro.te its life destroy
Oh, barber, touch It hHsot'

Queen Victoria end DR.. Ltyingston -
Before Dr.. Livingston left England on his
return to Africa, he was honored with q
private interview by the Queen, who con-
versed with him for half an hour on the
subject Of his travels. He told her Males
.ty that he would now be able to say to the
natives that he had seen his chief. his not
having done 50, having constantly surpris-
ed them. He told her that the natives
were in the habit Of inqui1ing if Els chic
was wealthy and that when he assured
them she was very wealthy, they would ask
chow many cows she had got'--a question
at. which the Queen laughed heartily.

The visit Of Queen Victoria to Cher.
bourg is the subject Of much speculation
and remark. 4 great variety Of causes are
assigned for It By tie knowing ones. The
alliance existing between Great Britasni and
France, was rudely shaken by tie attempt
to assassinate the Emperor, and by the e.
vents ard discussion that followed. That
storm has blown over, and, probably, the

A British Ruizroad to the Pacitc.-The
Washington correspondent Of Forney's Press
writes
Extraordinary intelligence has reached
here to the effect that the British Govern
ment have had an overland route surveyed
from their possessions in the Rocky noun
tains to certain point in Canada, by which
they will be able to construct railroad
oyer thsi, own territory on this continent, u
hitting the Pacific with the Atlantic The
proposed route is much shorter than that of

ernment stands ready to secure a certain
