MoDEsT.-The author of Promotheus

out for the main chance. He values
cash more highly than credit. Suppose

franklin had made the publication OF
their discoveries dependent on such n
contingency as is contained in the sub
Joined, from the Round Table: A.
To any publisher, or other person,
who will pay me "A reasonable and
proper price for them, will send a Sc
Ties of mathematical demonstrations,
proving that Newton's theory of the
motions of the heavenly bodies is
false, that the Copernican system Is
only apparently true, and that another
and new system is absolutely true.
Let any one who has heretofore jeer-
ed at me for offering hin truths which
he could not understand, now give the
world solid and golden proof of his
wisdom by offering to me, in turn, ten,
twenty, or thirty thousand dollars for
these demonstrations, with the excep-
ton that shall not be able to produce
them. t

TIE Duty ON PAPER.-We wish that
Congress, iii the revision of the tariff.
would not forget the matter of white pa
per, which Is HOW under virtually pro-
hibitory tariff, enabling the paper makers,
by combination, TO keep the price up TO
any unreasonable notch they please. while
book and newspaper publishers and the
great reading public have to pay for il.
There can be no valid reason, for the price
of materials, why news paper should now
cost twenty cents the pound, to nine cents
five years ago. Many book publishers in
this country find it advantageous 10 get
their books printed in England, and then
have them brought 10 this country for
sale. Ii the tariff should be taken off, and
paper could he imported, the price would
fall at once, six or eight cents on the
pound, which would be an item OF reIuc-
tion that would be sensibly felt TO the ad-
vantage both Of publishers and readers.
We repeat the wish that Congress NAV

The Newfoundland Dog az Home.

A correspondent of the London &C..
W. Free Press is just now making an
excursion through Newfoundland. He
writes:
EAT midnight we reached Hickman s
Harbor. The rattle Of chains on board
aroused all the dogs in the village, who
came to the wateIside and hOwled at Us
dismally. We could make ont some
twenty of them IN the bright moonlight
fitting about, now uniting In a chorus
OF yelps at our craft, now snarling and
fighting among themselves. On making
their acquaintance next day, we found
them docile enough, but very far re-
moved from the genuine breed. They
were a grnfl. scrubby, heavy. built, ill
assorted pack, but yet very fair sam
pie Of the canine race now inhabiting
newfoundland. In winter they are
employed in hauling out wood upon
catamarans. from two to eight of them
being haf messed to one of these vehI-
cles. Four dogs will do as much in
this way as a span of horses in Canada.
They are extremely wolish In their
tastes, and fond of mutton, which has
induced their determination in cities
and towns where sheep are reared. The
canine nobility have departed from the
country, few only being preserved by
dOg-faUciers. | will undertake to say
that more of the species may be found
IN London, Ontario, than III St. Johns,
Newfoundland.

The Springfield Republican has the
following particulars: ''One of the
most terrible accidents that has ever
occurred in this state, and the most
destructive to life and property, oc-
Cured at the central shaft on the
Hoosac tunnel on Florida mountain,
about six miles east of North Adams,
at little past o'clock, Saturday after
noon. A gang of Is workmen had just
descended the shaft, after a blast, to
collect aud load up the debris, when an
explosion of gasoline in the large build
ing, which is built over and envelopes
the mouth of the shaft, took place, and
in few minutes the entire struc ure
was enveloped in flames, and soon fell
in. All communication with the men
below was at once cut of, and they had
to be left to their fate. 1t is supposed
that most of them were instantly killed
by the tuns of rock, drills, timber, &C.,
which fell down the shaft, and that
those who escaped instant death must
have soon persisted from suffocation or
been drowned in the accumulation of
water. The shaft is $50 feet deep
Every effort was made to rescue them,
and as soon as the fire was extinguished
a man was lowered down, but could,
find no trace of bis unhappy comrades.
The most intense excitement prevails
in the vicinity of the disaster, and the
place has already been visited by thous-
ands of people. Means will at once be
employed to recover, if possible, the
bodies, but as the shaft is steadily fill
ing with water. and as all the hosting
apparatus has been destroyed. it is
doubtful whether tcey will be found for
many days. No cause can be assigned
for the accident, and blame attaches to
no one
