thesis as IL has been developed Of late in the
able hands Of NJ. Sainte Clare Deville. Their
work, as we have said, is not one which atms
at supplying the world of science with new or
advanced ideas. Still as a manual for popular
use, it contains much that readers of the ordi-
nary class will find both novel and interesting.

tWiCe as ldT as Tie iaItneSC, ana yet Il Tu-
mour in q Calcutta bazaar Can make
Peshawur bubble with excitement. The
Russians are not in the citadel, are not
near it; but they have emerged from the
Northern shadow into the brighter light,
and are visible to It's garrisons. They
have, moreover, we repeat, one direct, i'm
mediate, and most pressing interest in the
conquest of India. They are, to speak
hguralive'y, lords of the mountain, while
it is in the plain that wealth must be
sought. They are masters of Northern
Asia from the Pole to the Oxus, from the
Caucasus to the Sea of Okhotsk, that is,
OF a world lying in shadow almost i'm
penetrable to European eyes, OF cities OF
which we know nothing, of plains scarcely
traversed 10y white men, but in which the
human race might encamp, Of ranges as
vast though not as high us the Andes, of
rivers as long though not as vaviglbIe rs
the Mississippi. By inctssant e%xertion
and great expenditure, by dlscipIining
nomad warriors and by never forglvlng
an act of disobtdiencr, they do c%ontrIve
to maintain some effective government
through these vast regions but they Bit.

Russian Statesman to read a report from
Central Asia, to glance at IA map, to sane

where the population IS as thick as The
jungle, where The earth yields a hundred
and seventy fold, where a pltlIesS yet
scientific government could tax d mtS6rI-

imaginative nonsense about a plan for the
conquest of the world, and yet believe
that The Russian Treasury ihirstS for a
slice either of India or China, that The
Foreign Office of st. Petersburg sees we'll
how terrible IA diversion a Russo Persian
force might create in the next struggle for
Stamboul.
We do not wonder in the least at The
AngIo-lndlan excitement, or even at the
form it usually assumes. 1t was not 10y
sitting still that India was conquered,
and those who conquered it naturally be-
lleve that the audacily which has sue
ceeded for "a century will succeed for
ever. Difficulties have no meaning for
men who see 10000 Europeans ruling a
continent aud a fifth of the human race.

or Afghanistan C ompared with AbysSi-
MIA or B0khara, when one has helped to
plunder the Summer Palace of the En-
perors of China? II is all natural enough,
and in its way credItable besides-there
being virtues as useful as humility,-but
still it is the duty Of the English Press TO
warn The Anglo.Indians that they must
wait for the signal, and that it will not
be given yet, or given in the way they
demand. Even admitting their data, that
Russia does intend one day to conquer
India, and that her encampment on the
0xus brings her within the range of The
grand Southern Viceroyalty, the way to
meet her is not to occupy up to Herat.
Down to The S%uleimman, or, if that is
TOO much to ask, down at least to Herat,

ACTION AND REACTION.

The Boston Journal wishes that President
johnson may be removed; but hopes that his
removal will not be regarded as a precedent
for future proceedings of the same kind. No
doubt The Journal sees that when one
party throws down all the barriers of the Con-
sttuhoD, suppresses the voice Of its adverse
ries by fraud and force, and removes Presi-
dent for purely partisan reasons, it justifes
its adversaries in retaliating whenever power
passes into their hands. The violence of one
party is very apt to stimulate retaliatory vio-
lence in the opposing party; and, indeed,
when It is established that an accidental ma
jority may do all things to maintain power,
the majority which succeeds will not find it
self constrained to regard any other limita-
tons than its own will. To this consumma-
ton the policy and conduct of the Republican
party directly tend; and hence the journal
takes occasion to deprecate, in advance, the
necessary consequences of the acts which it
urges and approves. When the pretorians at
Rome set up Ohio in place of Galba, the army
of Germany assumed the power of setting up
Vitellius in place of Ohio, and the Eastern
legions proclaimed Yespasian over both. The
pretorians, no doubt, thought that possession
of the capital and command of the Senate
gave them a prescriptive right to dispose of
the imperial purple; but the vitellians and
the Vespasians were not to be deluded by a
pretence which denied to them the privileges
assumed by their antagonists. SO the radi-
Gals may argue forever that their temporary
possession of the government gives them en-
inalienable right to keep it forever and that it
is quite proper to depose Democratic presi-
dent, but very wicked to remove radical
president. Such arguments will pass un-
needed by an outraged people, who have been
taught that party may disregard all consti-
tutional limitations in order to maintain
threatened supremacy.

The scene at the ruins of Bsrnum's Museum on
the morning after the fire is described as follows
The deluse Of water poured upon the museum
and the adjacent buildings froze 1t FELL leaving
curious tracery of ice, which has assumed the
most fantastic forms. The huge lamp posts Ia
front Of the museum are transformed int pillars
Of pure ice, beautifully adorned as though a
shll al confectioner had undertaken the task The
neighboring buildings are fringed with icicles Of
huge dimensions and symmetrical forms. One of
The steam fire engines Is frozen In, banked up
with solid ice the only free part Of It's gearing
being the driving wheel. which spins round in a
thick ice ring. The whole spectacle in aad about
the ruins is striking.
The Turf says it would rather be guided by the
judgment Of Bonner on the diseases of the horses
foot than the judgment of our most distinguished
veterinarians. When he purchased Dexter. the
horse was lame In one Of his fore-feet, q slight
lsmeness that seemed to be permanent. Alter
driving him on the road, Mr.. B. determined to re-
leve the horse if possible accordingly, with the
opening of Winter, he commenced the operation
on his foot. After much patience, and with no
little skill, the hoof has been spread in an easy.
natural manner. SO as to afford complete relief.
The horse does not walk the least lame no and 1T
is sad the shoe taken from the lame forefoot worn
BY Dexter when be made his remarkable time OF

present. so great has been the expansion CT this
loot under careful treatment.

AT Appleton, Wisconsin. week ago, at a little
past midnight, while snow was falling fast, three
bright flashes were seen at a few minutes inter-
val. all within fifteen minutes. The flashes were
like lightning and were followed by heavy concus-
sions that made the windows rattle and houses
jar throughout the city. Next morning there
was fCund ia the snow dark substance. visible
for miles around. This, on dissolving the snow,
was found to be fre reddish sand. Those who
melted snow for washing or culinary purposes,
found this sand in such quantities as made the
water unit for use. The phenomenon has not
been explsined.

The legislature of New Jersey has passed. over
the veto Of Governor Ward, the resolution recall
ing the assent Of that State to constitutional
amendment XIV. The ten Southern States have
already rejected it. There are no " five of the
represented States which have voted against it,
viz: New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland Kentucky
and Ohio. California has not voted, and probably
will not, because one branch of the legislature Is
Democratic and the other Republican, aud there
