HOah's Ark and the Great
Eastern.

The Great Eastern is 1873 feet longer than
was the Ark, and about 3 feet deeper, but
not so broad within feet As an illus
tration ofthe change in ideas of navigation
which the building of The Great Eastern
is calculated to produce, we will quote the
following paragraph from an elaborate ar
ticle issued some thirteen years since III the
Church of England and Quarterly, on the
Deluge, and republished in Little 5 Living
Age:
Now as it clearly impossible that a yes
sci of the length and breadth of the Ark
could be otherwise than "a floating vessel,
designed entirely for perfectly still waters
we have supposed it to be tiat-bottoned
and straight-sided, both as making it the
more buoyant and asgiving to 1t the great
est capacity 1t was devoid OF all SAILING
properties had neither rigging nor rudder
its build was simply that of huge float
to all outward appearance wholly at the
mercy of the winds and the waves, liable
to be drifted or driven about according as
currents or winds for the time prevailed !;
but, as we shall show, the Ark could not
have been for moment subjected TO the
influence Of either winds or tides. The ex-
traordinary length of the Ark proves, at
once, the miraculous power that was, at eve
ry moment, in exercise for its preservation,
since no vessel of the Ark's proportions
could naturally live in disturbed waters ::
the very first wave that rose would inevi-
tably break its back and rcnd it entirely
asunder; nor with all our experience in
shipbuilding would it be possible to con-
struct vessel of the Ark's proportions and
navigate it from Dover to Calais in rough
weather-the least swell of the ocean, by
raising one end and depressing the other,
would break it in the middle and cause it
to founder, nor could any possible contri-
vance or ingenuity of construction prevent
this consequence. And if the very pecu-
liar construction of the Ark had not made
such a conclusion irresistible, the purpose
for which it was built would have proved
that such was the fact, for had the Ark
pitched in the least from the swell Of the
waves, or rolled at all from side TO side un-
derthe influence of the wind, which. from
its great length and little width, it must
most distressingly have done, the whole
world OF animals therein contained could
not have kept their footing Of very neces-
sity, therefore dead calm must have pre-
vailed around the Ark during the whole
Of one hundred and fifty days that it was
floating on the waters

A True View of the Question.

The National HatelZigencer, commenting
on the sentiments so frequently put forth
by the Southern newspapers and Southern
officials in many instances, that the South
will not submit to a Republican President,
and that the "election of a Northern Pres
ident would of itself reduce the South to
the condition of a conquered people," for
cibly says We must say, and do say,
that the constitutional election of any man
in the United States, by any number or
combination of States, affords no ground
whatever for an overthrow of the Consti-
tuition. If it were so, the constitution has
never been worth the parchment upon
which it was written and, moreover, on
this paradoxical theory, the only loyalty
it has heretofore commanded at the South
is loyalty which has been inspired by the
consciousness of political predominance in
the Federal Councils, or by the emolu-
ments of official place. For it is to be OBJ
served that the mere election, if fairly and
constitutionally effected, Of any man, by a
single section of the country, would, in
itself, imply nothing more than the polit-
ical defeat of the minority of the Union,
and, in itself considered, would be no more
q just cause for revolution than is afforded
to the minority in a State (the Wings of
Virginia, for instance,) because the ma
jority denies them all participation in the
''spoils" of office.
In Virginia it is deemed eminently
proper that the Wings, though compri
sing in their number large proportion of
the wealth, intelligence and virtue of the
State, should, as good patriots, submit to
the denomination Of the Tenth Legion
Democracy, though that denomination has
involved for long series of years their
ostracism from all positions of honor and
influence under the government and con-
stitution Of the commonwealth. So long
us their civil rights are protected and Sc
cured, the Wings have not felt called Oh
to resent their political subsection as a
badge OF disgrace, and that, too, although
change for the better in the aspect of
their affairs seems as probable as thaw
in Nova Zembla.

y LUNATIC ON THE BENCH-The fol-
lowing incident in Court, at Hamilton, c.
w, is mentioned by the Spectator:
Yesterday morning, while NJ. Freeman
was addressing the jury, in one of the most
eloquent portions of his speech, to his hor
ror he saw broad grin on the faces of the
jury, then they seemed to burst out into
loud laugh. The learned counsel seemed
for moment nOnplussed, not being aware
of the cause of this unseemly proceeding.
On. turning to the bench, however, the rea-
son was selfevident The Chief Justice
had retired to his room for a moment, and
there in the judicial chair in all his maies-
esty, sat no less parsonage than Mr.. Rob
ert lnnes, an insane man well known here
Bob, as he was familiarly called, looked
smilingly on the learned counsel, and said
"Go ON, it is all right; I'll see Justice
DONE" amidst roars of laughter. 1t this
moment his lordship returned, but the
would-be Judge did not feel inclined to
vacate his prominent position, and it re-
quired three constables to remove him
1t was some minutes ere the Court settled
down to its customary solemnity, and the
the learned gentleman was able to contin-
ue his speech.

A CURIOUS FAcT-At the time of the

A CURIOUS FACT.-At the time of the
explosion on board the Great Eastern, a
curious fact was noticed Those who
were most hurt, and who first died, seem
ed the least injured when they first ap-
peared above deck, and even were able to
walk aft without assistance. On this
point writer in the London Times saws ::
"a man blown up by gunpowder is a
mere figure of raw flesh, which seldom
moves after the explosion. Not so with
men blown up by steam, who for few
minutes are able to walk about apparently
unhurt, though in fact mortally injured
beyond all hope Of recovery. This was
so with one or two, who, as they emerged
from below, walked aft with that indies
cribable expression in their faces, only
resembling astonishment, and certain
taltering of the gait and movements like
one who walks in his sleep. When not
grlmmed by the smoke or ashes, the pc
cullar bright, soft whiteness of the face.
hands or breast, told at once that the
skin, though unbroken, had, in fact been
boiled by the steam. One man walked
along with the movement and look have
endeavored to describe, and seemed quite
unconscious that the flesh of his thighs
(probably by the ashes from the furnace)
was burnt in deep holes To some one
who came to his assistance he said, quietly:
'.l am all right; there are others worse
than me; go and look after them;" this
poor man was the first to die.
