Tho Convention OF spirituaIIsts,

CLEVELAND, Sept. 4.-The Spiritualists' Con-
vention met at nine o'clock this morninR
and for over an hour enjoyed lively discus.
sion between some Eastern and Western dele
gates, the former proposing three OF their num-
Der to deliver the evening address, while the
latter contended that whoever pleased 10 sneak
should be at liberty to do 80, and be allowed
twenty minutes for the purpose The Western
delegates carried their point
A set ofresolutions was offered in depreciation
of an address issued from the last ConVention
which advocated physical resistance to any at
tempt that might be made on the part OF the
Christian sects to encroach upon or suppress
Spiritualism. A long debate followed, some
being In favor of nom resistance, but the maio-
rity advocated war to the knife upon any reli-
gious or other body that dared TO interfere with
their peculiar tenets. The resolutions Were
eventually laid on the table.
The afternoon was devoted TO a discussion of
the best way OF advancing spiritualistic educa-
tion for children.
About twenty men and women of the Shaker
persuasion were In the Convention during the
day.

Hon. SCHUYLER CoLFAx.-We have received
from the publishers the September number of
the Ladies' Repository, edited for the Methodist
Episcopal Church, by Rev. J. W. Wiley, D. D.
The initial article for this number is an inte-
resting sketch of the Hon. Schuyler Colfax,
Sneaker of the House of Representatives, and
is accompanied by a very good engraved por-
trait The sketch is written by the Rev.
Arthur Edwards, of the Northeastern Christian
Advocate, and is an earnest and appreciative
tribute to the noble qualities of the Hon.
Speaker. 1t appears upon this authority that
Mr.. Colfax's grandfather was Captain Colfax,
of General Washington's body-guard, and his
grandmother was Schuyler, cousin TO Major
General Philip Schuyler, of Revolutionary fame.
He was born in the city of New York on the
23d of March, 1923, and is, therefore, forty
four wears of age. He was a posthumous
child. his father having died few months be-
fore he was born. When he was ten years old
his mother married Mr.. Matthews, and the
fnture Speakers short sehool-life closed. The
nsxt three years he stood in his step-father'e
store, In 1885 the family emigrated to In.
diana, and ''for thirty-one years has pure
western home life smiled upon and fostered
him whose only possible complaint is the ex
patriating majorities which bs}ish him 80 re-
peatedly East again to WASH jgtOn."

A CURIOUS HISTORICAL FACT.
A Sea Which Dried Up and Reappeared
After q Lapse OF 1900 Years.

A curious ques, ion was discussed at recent
meeting of the British Royal Geographical
Society. Sir Henry RawlinsOn expressed the
opinion that the Sea of AIal-a body of water
having an area of %, 900 square miles, or three
times the size of Massachusetts-had no exist
ence in the long period between 600 years
before Christ and 600 years after, and the
rivers Oxus and Jaxartes, now flowing into it,
both flowing into the Caspian Sea. He said:-
''The sea first comes into notice in the seventh
century, and these two are spoken of for seve-
raj hundred years as emptying into it. Another
change seems to have occurred between 1900
and 1500 and the rivers again flowed into the
Caspian Sea; but since the latter date they
slowly changed their channels till they found
an outlet in the Sea of Aral." This theory
was combated by Sir Roderick Murchison, the
geologist, who affirming that the mere absence
of allusiOn to the Sea of AJal was no proof OF
its nOn-existence, and citing the geological
evidences that whatever changes the sea had
undergone they must have occurred long be-
fore the birth of history or tradition. Sir
Henry Rawlins on, in reply, said that evidence
exists in the writings of the fourteenth aud
fifteenth centuries, that common highway OF
travel from Europe to Asia passed directly
over the region now covered by the waters Of
| the Aral His opponent admitted that such
evidence would be conclusive. Here the de-
| bate ended with the understanding that Sir
| Henry is to collect and publish the proofs oi
| his assertion.
