MILLERIsM CROPPING Our IN CANADA
Through many parts of Canada the excitement
in reference to the second coming of Christ, is
being again revived, and new prophets Of the
Miller school are springing up, who assume to
have discovered that the Saviours second
coming on earth will positively take place in
1868 Quite a remarkable lecture upon the
subject has recently been delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Baxter, the Episcopal clergyman from
Owanda, Canada West. The reverend gentle
man brought up quite a series Of data to de-
fend his theory, and mentioned no less than
thirteen different chronological periods, whose
termini, according to the revelation, would be
brought to an end in 1868 Mr. Baxter also
advanced the idea that Christ would come in
1868, and remain in his Judgment seat between
heaven and earth, while the one hundred and
forty thousand were sealed, when be would
again descend, and the seventh seal of the re-
velation would be opened, and the millennium
begin He said we were at the last period of
time allotted to the sixth seal, and described
Louis Napoleon as the anti Christ referred to
in the Revelations, as setting up himself in
dominion over the whole earth.

THE FRENCH NAvY.-The Courier de Bret
agne announces that steel plated frigate on
an entirely new plan, suggested by the Empe-
ror, is shortly to be launched. In place of
being built with timber, like the Normandie
and Gloire, already launched, she is to be of
iron. Teakwood is to be laid over the iron by
means of horizontal metal bands, and the en-
tire ship is to be covered with cuirass shot
proof. The fore-deck is to be a complete
fortress, having four port-holes from which
two Of the guns will be used in chasing an en-
emy, and two to resist any attempts on board
the frigate. Behind the centre of the deck a
circular blockhouse is to be erected, which will
be likewise covered with cuirass shot-proof
This compartment is intended for the captain
of the frigate, who may thence command the
maneuvres and watch the enemy. This formi-
dable ship is to be armed with forty guns of
the largest caliber. Her machines are to be
of nine hundred horse power. The Minister
of Marine has given orders for laying down
two more steel plated frigates at L'Orient, to
be called the Heroine aud the Surveillante-
Another steel plated frigate, to be called the
Invincble, has been launched at Toulon The
following paragraph on the French navy ap
pears in Bullier's lithograpc sheets: " 1 have
already directed yonr attention to the extraor-
dinary activity which prevails at the Ministry
of Marine. | am informed that an Office exists
in that Ministry of which the chief is charged
with acquiring all the information possible
with respect to the supplies it may be necessary
to demand Of mercantile houses" 1t is further
added that M. Chasseloup Laubat, the Minis
ter of Marine, has sent for the heads of houses
engaged in the copper trade, and likewise for
the representatives of some English houses who
have smelling works in Wales. He entered
into the most minute details with them as to
the quality of the mineral and the method of
reducing it to copper. A new contract for
supplying the marine department with 100000
kilogrammes of copper is spoken of, indicating
many new ships of war to be coppered.

KNAPsAcKs FOR DEMoCRATs-It is stated
that the little Democratic county of Putnam
has contributed no less than three hundred
volunteers to fight Old Abe's battles, and of
these, not one is a Republican-every man.
rank and file, voted against Lincoln
The Captain of the Buffalo volunteer COM
pany writes US that not a single man in his
company voted for Lincoln. OF ninety-eght
recent army recruits in that city, ninety-one
were Democrats 1t is thus that the Repub.
llcans get Democrats to fight the battles The
facts we state are only indces of the state of
the case everywhere. Knapsacks for Dem
ocrats; offices for Republicans"
1t is noticeable that not regiment has yet
been marched out of this State from any
county except New York, Kings, Ulster and
Albany. These four counties gave majority
of 1880 against Mr. Lincoln and the Chicago
Platform, last Fall. The number of volunteers
they have thus far furnished is about 81 ,00O
Now, in all probability, nine-tenths of these
volunteers are Democrats. And thus it will
be seen that the Democratic majority in these
counties is all but annihilated, while the Black
Republican levies of the Abolitionized rural
districts are carefully kept within the State
A Black Republican at Washington said
but recently that before November next the
Democratic majority of New York city would
have disappeared on the field of battle s
none of the Black Republican counties have
yet sent a single regiment TO Washington, we
begin to think there may be something in all
this

In ancient times-that is some twenty years
ago shortly after the State House of Indian
apolis was built, it was proposed that a ther-
mometer should be got up for the Hall, and at
an expense not exceeding three dollars. This
motion brought the distinguished member from
county to his feet, who eloquently in
Weighed against spendin the hard arDings
of the people in that ar way; and besides, Mr..
Speaker, if we had that ar themomicron, |
don't believe there's one who knows how to
wind the confounded thing up.

you going to give it to the editor for? Be

what do you suppose he wants with club :"

the subscribers that don't pay for their pa

A Summer Night.

How sweet the summer gales of night,
That blow when all is peaceful round,
As if some spirits downy flight
Swept silent through the blue profoundl
How sweet at midnight to recline
Where flows the cool and fragrant stream
There half repeat some glowing line,
There court each wild and fairy dream;
Or idly mark the volumed clouds
Their broad deep mass of darkness throw,
When, as the moon her radiance sh-ouds,
Their changing sides with silver glow;
Or see where, from that depth of shade,
The ceaseless lightning, family bright,
In silence plays, as if afraid
To break the deep repose of night;
Or gaze on heavens unnumbered fires,
While dimly-imaged thoughts arise,
And Fancy, loosed from earth, aspires
To search the secrets of the skies,
What various beings there reside;
What forms of life TO man unknown,
Drink the rich flow of bliss, whose tide
Wells from beneath the eternal throne;
Or life's uncertain scenes revolve,
And musing how to act or speak,
Feel some high wish, some proud resolve
Throb in the heart, or flush the cheek
Meanwhile may reasons light, whose beam
Dimmed by the worlds oppressive gloom,
Sheds but a dull unsteady CLEAN,
In this still hour its rays relume.
Thus oft in this still hour be mine
The light all meaner passions fear,
The wandering thought the high design,
And soaring dreams to virtue dear.
I Andre,cs Norton.

How TO SLEEP WELL.-It is said that per
sons sleep better and sounder with their heads
pointing to the North Pole than in any other
position. The reason is given as thus The
earth has a magnetic current constantly play
ing around it; the human body is also mag
net, and when the body is placed in certain
relations to the earth these currents harmonic
when one position is to be maintained for
some time, a position should be chosen in
which the currents Of the earth and the body
will not conflict. This position as indicated,
by theory and known by experiment, is to lie
with the head to the n North Pole

The SOUTH stirred up the animals and mon
keys with hot poker she couldn't wait till
the constitutional bars Of their cages we're
broken and she was attacked, but took the in
itiatiye. She spread her crinoline over all
property her prying eyes could discover and
fred hot shot at her grand father, and turpen-
tined his wife, 65 years old. She wanted the
old homestead, and desired to shoot her rela-
tives if they made objection to being kicked
out of the mansion and off the premises. Who
wonders at the degree Of irritability exhibited
by the rest of the family? If she had been
just and behaved herself till in fact imposed
upon, all considerate relatives would have SYM
pathized and sided with her. But now, alas
hot tears will flow and passion will have to be
cooled as red hot iron, before reconciliation.

AoUARIAL GARDENs.-Among the numerous
specimens of natural history to be seen at the
Aquarial and Geological Gardens of this city,
are two of ordinary interest and rarity. We
refer to the living scorpion and living tarantu-
Ia, both of whose bites are of the most poison
Gus nature The former is characterized by
an elongated, taillke abdomen, armed at its
extremity with a sort of hooked claw, which.
when the creature is in motion, is carried over
the back in most threatening attitude. This
caw-hke member is the sting Of which such
extraordinary accounts are given by the ma
tives of countries to which this large and vora-
cious specimen belongs. The tarantula is an
unusually large specimen, and is also celebrated
for its venomous bite, which is supposed by
the natives of Italy to cause death, unless the
patient is relieved by music and violent dane
ing Perhaps more curious than either is the
nest of the tarantula, which may be seen in
the box by its side. 1t is made of a redish
clay, long and oval in form, having at one
door set on q hinge that would seem to rival
man in ingenuity of construction. At the
other are two rooms or cells, one of which is
the nest, and the other their burial place
The walls of the whole are lined with finely
woven texture like silk. These curiosities
alone are worth visit to any lover Of natural
history-Boston Post.
The DEAD MoTHER.-'Twas a dark and
lowering afternoon that we stood beside the
confined form of the poor dead mother, whose
lamp of life burned out so quickly, leaving a
widowed husband and two motherless babies
to mourn her early loss. Liies ftful gleam
was over with her now, and she slept the
sleep that knows no waking" Sorrowing
friends had robed her frail form in garbs of
spotless purity and garlanded her hands around
with Springs fresh flowers. The beautiful
trust and simplicity of childhoods years had
gone with her through early @omanhood, and
at its close her love for the flowers those silent
Messengers of the Great Eternals goodness,
was yet so strong and pure that among her
last requests was the one that they might be
with her still, " through the valley and shadow
of Death" even down into the graves dark
home of clay. Yes, lay her gently away to
rest, with all these sweet perfumes about her,
for she loved them in life, and percbance they
may help TO hallow her tomb.
And It's well to fold the waX-ke hands so
quietly over the still and pulseIess bosom that
so long has throbbed with all Consumption's
narrowing palms. for her sumbers are so sweet
that no childish prattle lisped by children dear,
or husbands words Of love can wake her now
Sleep on thou angel dreamer, and when the
curtains of the Great Hereafter shall be drawn
aside, for US TO go hence, we shall hope to meet
thee, robed in purer white, and garanded with
yet purer flowers than decked thy burial brow

CoERcIoX ExEMPLIFIED The Mariposa
Gazette says that Doust, driver of the mail
stage from Hornifas to Stockton, has about
the best idea of coercion. A gentleman who
occasionally sends considerable money over the
line asked him if he carried arms in the stage
as defense in case of an attack by robbers
Doust solemnly said No, not now; did
two or three months ago have shotgun
and pistol, but left them at home, for if he
should shoot some robber or id thief, it
would be coercion to some folks" and he
wanted to remain neutral

Mississippi, who had lived in Arizona about
year, fought duel on horseback, short
time ago. each armed with lasso. The
American, who it was thought would stand no

THE MYSTERIES OF THE DEsERT.-A party
of three prospectors left Los Angeles few
weeks since, for gold search in New Mexico
At last accounts they had penetrated the
Knsett Mountains, about $50 miles from the
Vegas, into the country Of the Cotitch Indians.
They were, at this time, in search of the much
sought-for " Collier mine" They found them
selves among numerous ard warlike tribe of
Indians who mustered full two hundred war
rors, drawn up in battle array, and who
declared no white man had ever passed through
their country, and never should The Ameri
cans held consultation, and concluded, as
there were but three of them to contend with
two hundred Indians, large, powerful men, they
had better take the hint and return; not,
however, without telling their opponents they
would return and force their way. During
their stay in this country, they obtained infor-
nation that they were within "three sleeps Of
a ledge of rock where the gold could be picked
off with knife. These Indians are very nu-
merous, and warlike tribe. They are located
in these mountains in Utah Territory, from
which thew seldom emerge. The neighboring
tribe is the Pah Utes, who have salutary
dread of their powerful neighbors, and take
especial good care not to be found prowling
within their recognized limits. The vagabond
Utes are afraid of them and when one of the
L. bo ral with

Indians have no villages, no agriculture no

FIGHT WITH INDIANs.-An Oregon paper
has been furnished with the following particu-
lars of the killing of Alfred Fry and man
named Floyd, by the Indians in the Colville
country:
"Alfred was keeping a store on one side of
the river, and man by the name of Green
Floyd had one on the other side Two Indians
stole pair of boots from the store owned by
Floyd. The night the boots were stolen the
Indians fired across the river at the store,
and the next morning Floyd came across the
river after help to protect his store. Mr.. Fry
and ten other men went across the river with
him. Floyd followed to the Indians to find
out what they meant, when they Immediately
came out with their bows and arrows drawn.
They shot Floyd dead on the ground, then
Fry shot the chief and as he did so, an Indian
shot him in the abdomen-he drew the arrow
with his left hand and ran and put his revolver
to the Indians ear and shot him dead. Frv
died the next day. The whites after firing off
all their arms retreated across the river -Four
were wounded after they were in the boat"
