ment on foot in New York, under the aus
pices primarily of Mr. Frank Moore, of the
Rebellion Record but approved by many in
fuential citizens, for the establishment Of
soldiers home, outside of the city, where with
good farming facilities, and proper buildings
for the practice Of ordinary trades, and for
the ordinary comforts of life, soldiers disabled
in the war may find decent refuge and ade-
quate support. The only condition of accept
ance as inmates is the assignment of their an
nual pensions to the treasury of the home dur
ing the time of their remaining in it. This
excellent scheme is designed for those whom
the war took from selfsustaining labor, and
who have no homes to which they can return
in comfortable independence for the rest of
their lives. 1t is also to be purely voluntary,
each man assigning his pension for but year
at time, and resuming it at his will.

MIR. DEMONS LECTURES ON GEoLo0Y.-Ine
confident expectations OF the officers Of the Natural
History Society, to Mr.. Denton's ability, were
more than realized last evening, It would net be
possible to interpret science to the people in more
clear eloquent and pleasing manner. The lecture
has none of the unpleasant egotism Of the quack,
but the true modesty of the scholar who is master
Of his subject Avoiding as far as possible, the
use of technical terms, he brings his subject within
the comprehension of every hearer and carries his
audience with him in full sympathy with his enthu-
siasm.
After abiding to the general formation of the
exterior of the earths surface the lecturer proceed
ed to state some of the especial proofs of the
theory that the center of the earth is vast fiery
sea- mentioning hot springs artesian wells, and the
volcanic mountains: Vesuvius, 4Etna, and those of
the Sandwich Islands, as evidence tending to sus-
tain such belief. Earthquakes were spoken Of as
the result of storms this mighty subterransan
sea; the ebb and flow of whose tides, with the DASH
ing and rolling Gifts mighty pillows were well cal
culated to shake the granite foundations of old
earth itself.
At the close of the lecture there was general
movement on the part of the audience to secure
tickets for the course The second lecture will be
given this evening at Washburn Hall. Tickets are
for sale at Boyden's exchange and at the book
stores. As the irSt lecture general in it's char
acter. those who attend tonight for the first time
will have fair start with the rest in following Mr..
