A LIvING APrARiToS.-The Paris
correspondent of TIE Court Journal,
in giving some particulars OF the
tour of the Emperor and Empress
of the French through the provin-
ccs. gives currency to rumor that
the whole journey has been embit.
tered for the Empress, by the con
stant apparition OF lady in black,
who always presents herself before
her Majesty at every station. in
every crowd, and in every trium-
phal entry. The lady is yonng, az
may be seen even through the folds
of the heavy Grape veil with which
she endeavors 20 conceal her fea-
lures. She is beautiful likewise,
though pale; and is now fully as
certaincd to be from her hand that
the inevitable bunch of whithered
flowers is thrown into the Emprcss's
carriage at almost every place
where the Imperial procession has
passed in state, and wherever flow
ers have been thrown by the joy
ous population. The constant re-
cnrrence Of this event is said to
have given great annoyance to the
Emperor, and to have greatly ex-
cited the nervous sensibility of the
Empress. The pale shadow is
always accompanied by AMI elderly
female, in deep mourning like her
self; and the apparition has become
so inevitable, that the Empress is
said TO look round in nervous tre-
pidation as her carriage drives
through the crowd which at every
place meets to greet her arrival.

DuLL TINES IN THE SHoE BUSINESS.
The New England shoe business is
one of the first branches of bust.
ness TO suffer by the money pres.

says that "some manufacturers are

out of employment. A large nun.
Der are in that condition in this
quarter, men who have not been
idle before for years. The manu-

RESIGNATION or JUDeE TANEY.-
Washinton, November 26.--It is
true that Chief Justice fancy has
resigned, though the announcement
was not intended TO be made until
it was asccrtained to a certainty
that Attorncy-Gcncral Black could
be confirmed. The resignation was
not unexpected by the President,
and has nothing TO do with politi-
cal troubles. The announcement is
said to be a breach Of confidence
on the part Of a member Of the Cab

THE VERBANF GR0OMsmAN.-0n
no occasion, says the Springfield
RopuLlicdn, do people seem more
prone to commit bluudcrs than at
wedding. The following actual
ly occurred at n ncighboring town :
In the midst Of n crowd Of wit
nescs the clergyman had just com
plctcd that interesting ceremony
which binds in the silver bonds of
wcdlock two willing hearts, aud
stretched forth his hands to implofe
the blessing Of Heaven on the un-
ion. At this point the groomsman
seeing the open hand reached ont,
supposed it was the signal for him
to surrender the wedding fee,
which was burning in his pocket
Accordingly, just as the clergyman
closed his eyes in prayer, he felt
the pressure of two swctty half.
dollars upon his opcc palms. The
good man hesitated a moment, ap.
pallod at the righteousness Of his
situation, but coolly deposited the
money in his pocket and proceeded
with his devotion.

NEW iHfNNf w tRANIIAllpN 49,
Since Newton's magnificent disCov-
cry, the theory Of attraction of grav-
itatloa has been regarded a fact as
fixed "a mans own existence. The
movements Of the heavenly bodies
and the thousand phenomena uf
matter on the earth's surface were
so perfectly explained by this theo-
~. that to doubt it was to question
the evidence Of the senses Yet
We are asked to 60 over all this
ground again. Mr. Zones. in a work
entitled Outlines of n System of
Mechanical Philosophy, being re-
search into the Laws of Force"
takes a strong ground against the
Newtonian theory Of gravitation,
"conCeiving n more spiritual theo-
~, one recognizing the Divine An
thor of creating altogether more
present and imminent than mere
gravitation, or simple attraction Of
one body to another, can possibly
enable us to do" lie does not de
ny the fact of grsvitatiou, but
thinks the accepted theory false
and insufficient 10 account for the
movements of the universe Mr.
Tamlladge. commenting on this work,
says that Mr.. Cones ia not alone in
his doubt about the Newtonian the
ory of gravitation. Learned men
and learned societies are beginning
not only TO dcnbt but 90 give audi
ble utteraHce 90 those doubts. The
venerable President Of the British
Association for the Advancement

that. for the first time since the
days of Newton, suspicion had
arisen in the mi,fds Of astronomers
that laws other than that of gravi-
tation may bear rule in space, and
that the nebular phenomena re-
vcaled TO us by that telescope must

from those Of which we have any
knowledge. What those forces may
bc, whether they have any analogy
to-, or are all expIicablo by those
cognizable by us at present, is un-
known. Indeed, neither Mr.. Cones.
Mr.. Tallmadge, nor the President Of
the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science ventures To-
give us any definite idea of the the
cry they would substitute in place
of Newton's. But Mr.. Tallmadgc.
quoting from an unknown author,
suggests that the phenomena of
gravitation may be referred to
light This, then, is one of the new

ether.
The views of these writer's are,
however, as yet indstinct and con
tliCting, and are of little further in
tcrcst than to illustrate the new
relations which are being dovel
oped between modern science and
one of the sublimest theories ever
conceived Of man.
