EXQUISITE OF RELIGIOUS ORTHODOXY
There is trouble among the different religious
bodies at st. Johns, New Brunswick, touch
ing the precedence to be given them at the
reception of the Prince. The Presbyterians
having addressed to the Colonial Secretary 9
letter concerning the precedence that would
be given to religions bodies in the presenta-
ton of addresses, received for a reply thai
the Church of England stood first and the
Church of Rome next. The Presbyterians a

Extraordinary Cure ofa Confirmed Invalid
by n Cincinnatiau.


The New Bedford (Mass.) Standard Of late
date has the following
A few months since we gave the partic-
ulars uf q remarkable recovery of young
lady in Fairhaven from long and severe ill
ness, and which created considerable excite
ment at the time. This is evidently an age
of wonders and we now have to chronicle q
case which is even more surprising than the
one referred to.
About seven years ago the health of we'll
known merchant of this city failed him, and
he was obliged to relinquish his business.
He gradually grew worse, and finally he was
deprived of the use of his lower limbs in
which helpless condition he has been for
about four years and half His feet and
legs became emaciated to a considerable ex-
tent, and as for feeling in those members,
there was scarcely any. Through all his in
tense suffering he has borne himself with
much fortitude, and seemed cheerful in his
painful condition, and for couple Of days
past those of our citizens who have been in
the habit of seeing him lying near the win
| dow of the sick-chamber, have missed him
from his accustomed place, the facts of which,
| as we have them, are as follows:
"a gentleman named James Newton, oi
| Cincinnati, has been in this city for a few
days past, who has effected several wonder.
| full cures, as he says, by the grace of God
These facts coming to the ears Of gentleman
of this city, he requested Mr.. Newton to pay
| q visit to the invalid which he did or
Wednesday. Mr.. Newton, after hearing the
circumstances of the case, told him he coult
get well, and commenced rubbing him ant
otherwise laid his hands upon him, which ht
continued for some time. While this wal

as OF returning strength in his limbs, and hi
legs and feet assumed a purplish color, anC

arose and could lift his feet from the foo
quite readily, and also bear considerabl
weight upon them. Yesterday he sat up in

Scale of Thermometer in Different Coun.
tries.


As the thermometer does not indicate the
amount of heat in body, but merely its
changes of temperature, the number of de-
grees into which the interval between the
freezing and boiling mark is divided is arbi-
trary. Three different divisions are in use:
Fahrenheit's, in the United States, Great
Britain and Holland; Reaumur's in Spain
and parts of Germany; and the Centigrade,
the most convenient of the three, in France,
Sweden, &c. In Fahrenheit's scale the freez-
ing point is called 32o, the boiling point 2l2';
when, therefore, the mercury stands at 0, or
zero, it is 800 below the freezing point. In
Reaumur's scale the freezing point is called
0, the boiling point is called 800. In the
Centigrade the freezing point is 0, the boiling
point 1909. ...
The differential thermometer is an instru-
ment which measures minute differences of
temperature. 1t consists of a long glass tube
bent twice at right angles, somewhat in the
form of the letter U. One arm is furnished
with scale of 1902, and each terminates in
bulb, The tube contains small quantity
of sulphuric acid, colored red, and so dis
posed that when both bulbs are of the same
| temperature it stands at on the scale. lie
| either bulb be heated ever so little more thar
the other, and the expansion of air within
will drive the liquid down and cause it tt
ascend the opposite arm to u distance meas
ured by the scale. Ordinary changes o
temperature do not affect the instrument
because both bulbs are acted on alike. Th'
astronomer, Reaumur, was the first to us
mercury in the thermometer-the advantage
| of which are such that it has superseded al
| other substances,

GREAT VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN ICELAND
Accounts from Iceland give a description of
an eruption, after thirty-nine years repose,
of the volcano called the Rotlugia Of the
Myrdalsjokel mountains. On the 7th of May
several shocks of earthquake were expe-
rienced in the parish of Myrdal, in which the
volcano is situated, and the day after an
enormous volume of water was cast up from
the crater. Mixed with the water were large
quantities of cinders, and the eruption was
accompanied by subterranean noise. On
the llth and 18th, smoke, cinders and balls
Of fire were thrown up. The smoke rose to
such a hight that it could be seen at Rejkja-
Wig, though at q distance of more than
twenty-five miles, and though mountains
5000 feet high rise between the two places
The eruption continued, with intervals more
or less long, to the 26th, but fortunately, il
did no harm to places in the vicinity, the
cinders and other things It threw up being
| carried by the wind partly to sea and partly
on to some glaciers. It presented very
| imposing spectacle. Previous eruptions o.
the same volcano did great injury; one in
| 1925, In particular, was terrible, and it il
reported that some of the cinders thrown W
were actually carried as far as Bergen, in
Norway. Another, on the 18th of October
| 1885, caused devastations in five parishes; il

says: I.ra u.' a'
The efforts of managers to obtain from Mr..
Forrest some declaration of his intentions
have been most unremitting, and have at
last been crowned with success. Mr.. Nixon,
of Niblo's Garden, who has been engaged in
many remarkably successful theatrical enter
prises, has, at length, been enabled to effect
an engagement, and Mr.. Forrest, almost the
only living representative of tragedy, and by
far the best on the American stage, will make
his first appearance since his retirement, at
Niblos Garden, on the 18th of September
next, supported by carefully selected and
fully competent company. Mr.. Forests last
appearance, in New York, was at the Broad
way Theater, about three years ago. and he
gave, after that time, we believe, only a few
farewell representations in the provinces
His engagement with Mr.. Nixon is for tn,
term Of six months, and he will play, no
| only in New York, but also at Boston, Phila
delphia, Baltimore and other of the principa
cities, enacting all his original, and we un

Horrible Case of Cruelty in EngIand-A
PupiI Beaten 60 Death. tt.

The London Times, Of the oath nit, reports
the trial and conviction of Thomas Hopley
to whom we have before referred for the
granddaughter of Reginald Cancellor, a boy Of
fifteen years of age. The prisoners position
in life was such as to give him no temptation
to commit crime, but the inhuman barbarity
with which he tortured his victim places him
in the front rank of the tribe of monsters.
From the evidence, it appears that young
Cancellor was dull boy and somewhat OBJ
stinate. Mr.. Hopley, on the evening of the
2lst of April, called the boy to the pupils
room and commenced the beating. This he
continued for t,co hours. The following is a
part of the chambermaid's testimony;
"About ten o'clock at night l heard the
sound of Mr.. Hopley beating some one in the
pupil-room, which was on the first floor. The
beating continued until went to sleep, which
was in about a quarter Of an hour. Iwoke
again at quarter to twelve o'clock, and |
then heard Master Cancellor and Mr.. Hopley
coming up stairs, and the prisoner appeared
to be pushing him up. a. ...... ...r
"When they got into the bedroom of the
deceased the prisoner shut the door and went
down stairs, and came up almost Immediately
and directly afterward he began beating the
deceased again, and / heard him say, Now
do these, as a dear, good boy! He did not
say this while he was beating him. heard
the prisoner say, and four, las though he
was teaching him lesson). This went or
until a quarter past twelve, but the prisoner
did not keep on beating him all the while
He stopped short time and then went OF
beating him again. l had clock in th'
room, and got out and looked at it."
| 1t further appeared that the boy was beatel
with skipping-rope and a common size
,calking stick. He was found dead at 81!
o'clock on the morning after his cruel pun
ishment. His legs and arms were of a darl
livid color, and much swollen from extrava
sated blood. Under the skin of his hand
the extravasated blood was three-gudrters Q
an inch thick. The cellular membranes of hi
thighs were reduced to jelly and horribl

The prisoner was sentenced to four year

PRICE ONE CENT.
A New Orleans journal on Brougham's In-
suit TO Minister Dallas.


The New Orleans Bulletin says of the late
insult offered to our Minister to England:
An incident given in the abstract of foreign
news presented Lord Brougham In a position
deserving we know not whether more of
pity or contempt We refer to his indecent
exhibition of his irrepressible abolition ianat-
icism at the International Statistical Con-
gress, assembled in London on the 10th ult.
Our Minister to England, Mr.. Dallas, was
present during the opening ceremonies, and
Lord Brougham seized the occasion TO re-
mind him that negro was present as a del
egate, whereupon ensued as silly an exhibi-
tion Of fanaticism as ever tickled the ear Of
the groundlings at any Of the Abolition
Womens Rights Conventions of New En-
gland, his Lordships Shit being received
with great applause and loud laughter
Mr.. Dallas very properly gave no heed what
ever to the impertinent attention of his Lord
ship, at least not at the time of the occur
renee. He may have done so afterward, for
we find in the foreign news by the Prince
Albert that Lord Brougham, at a subsequent
meeting Of the Congress, explained his re-
marks to Mr.. Dallas, relative TO the presence
of q negro delegate, and disclaimed any in
tention of insult or disrespect.
This incident affords strong illustration
of the "madness of fanaticism" Lord
| Brougham is a man who has made his name
| illustrious in almost every walk of litera-
ture, science and jurisprudence, who is justly
regarded not only as one of England's lead
ing minds, but also as one of the great lights
of this century, and yet such an intellect can
| be so overridden by fanatic idea as to offer
q gratuitous insult outraging alike time
| and place--to the representative of q foreign
nation. Comment is unnecessary. Wher
| Abolition leads such men as Lord Broughan
to such excesses, what must be its effect upor

UNPRECEDENTED FEAT IN ENGINEERING IN
TExAs.-"0n the railroad between Houston
and Eagle Lake, in Texas, says correspond
ent of the Scientific American, "a feat is per-
formed, which, presume, is entirely unpre-
cedented in engineering. At the crossing of
the Brazos River, the road is completed on
each side to the bank, and temporary track
laid down each bank and across a temporary
bridge, which is some thirty or forty feet
below the level of the permanent road. The
design was to cross this bridge, until the
permanent one was completed, by letting the
locomotive and cars slowly down the bank
with ropes, and then hauling them up the
other side. But at one time the locomotive,
in descending, broke loose, and sweeping
through the hollow by its own momentum,
assembled the opposite bank in safety. Since
that time the passenger trains are run
through the hollow in this manner, sweeping
gracefully downward and rising on the op-
posite side, like the swoop of hawk on its
prey. have been something of traveller,
but this is the first time that ever followed
locomotive down the steep bank of river!
1t is said that the civil engineers object to
this mode of proceeding, on account of the
tremendous strain on the road-bed in that
part which changes the line of motion from
the descending to the horizontal direction"

The MANNER IN WHICH DROWNING CAUSES
DEATH.-It has been thought that the lungs
Of persons drowned become filed with water
instead of air, and that in this way life is ex-
tinguished. This view is not correct. Very
little water is usually found in the air pas
sages in such cases. The sphincter muscles,
like faithful guards stationed before the por-
tails of those sensitive organs, prevent its en-
trance. DR.. J. H. S. Beau, of the Hospital La
Charlie, at Paris, lately read before the
Academic des Sciences an interesting paper
on this subject, in which, after detailing some
conclusive experiments made on dogs, he in
fers that in animals that are drowned, the
very circumstance that the mouth and nose
are under water causes a spasm which shuts
close the respiratory organs, and thus arrests
breathing The small quantity of frothy
water found in the air passages comes, ht
says, from the first inspiration only, no osecont
inspiration being possible during immersion
because of the spasm of the glottis. Deatf
by drowning, then, according to DR.; Beau
bears close resemblance to the sutfocatioI
| induced by tetanic contraction of the mus
eles which preside over and direct respiration
