that position on two former occasions lie
aided in securing the succession to Isabel, who
is now driven from The country, and successfully
led her armies in putting down the CarIlSts.
In the insurrccton Of 1910, caused by the law
suppressing the freedom of speech IN the town
councils, Espartcro became head Of the Coy
crnment, and was confirmed in that position by
the Cortes and was appointed regent during
the minority Of the Queen. re was deposcd
in 1913, and had to fly TO London for sal ety.
In 1917 he was recalled to Spain, and by the
revolution of 1874, which drove the Queen
Mother Christina and Narvaez from the coun-
try, he was again placed at the head of the Gov
ernment, position which he resigned IN 1856.
For the third time, revolution more thorough
and decisive than either Of its successors, has
again called him from his retirement. Espar-
tero was born in 1892, and is now nearly u
years OF age He is the son Of Il wheewrlght,

THE ELECTRIC LIGRE.-Once more the pub

past has occuped the attention Of the scientific

The people of New York are just walked up
on the subject by beholding NJ. Berloz IN

now lying in the Hudson. The New York
papers state that this light illumlnes the coun-
try in the direction it is turned for great dis
lance lighting up the jersey shore almost as
bright as it is by sunlight, and anon throwing
such food Of light on New York city that 1t
is presumed 4 dozen such illuminatOr3 would
iIIuminc the whole of that great city more
completely than all the gaslights which are now
ietted out into its streets
This light is now in charge of Paris COM
pany. The battery and appurtenances tor pro
ducing one light cost about $1,000. Its
modus operandi is pronounced pertect, and It's
capacity for maintaining steady hight IS not
doubted. a continuous light placed IN re,
fector such as is used by railway trains, will
penetrate the dcnsest Jog for distance OF two
or three miles, and on dark nights its rays may
be seen distance OF thirty or forty miles.
The Immediate purpose to which It is pro
posed to adapt this light is to place 1t upon
ocean vessels 1t would ctfectually prevent
collisions at sea, and would be of invaluable
service in many ways to ships both at sea and
in harbor
That this electric light will at some day bt

SECoNp ADYENTIsTs. We heard some time
ago that man named Turmon, who's fanat-
cisln had driven him out of the Thinker church.
had succeeded in gathering around him in the
middle Valley, a sect Of persons who believed
that the second advent of our Saviour would
take place on Sunday last at lO:lG a. m.--but
we placed little credit in the reports. A friend
of ours, however. who was present at one OF
their meetings, on that day, has informed us OF
some of their fanatical, half ludlcrous, halt
blasphcmous proceedings.
They commenced Watching fasting and pray
ing, on Friday night preceding, at 9 o'clock,
and had continued it until Sunday night, when
tending to keep it up until Monday evening.
On Sunday morning they organized and pro-
cecded to the different residences singing pray
| ing and preaching. Some of their systems,
naturally, gave way under strain of IS hours
| fasting and without sleep. On Sunday at II:
o'clock, it was announced that a mistake had
| been made; that the Saviour was then in Jeru'
salem, but would appear at p. m.
Just in the twilight as the lustrous evening
star, leading the starry hosts, began to throw
the halo of her bushing radiance up the deep
! blue vault, one of the weary and worn, watch
ing devotccs caught with his eye the growing
brightness, and leaping from his seat, with
out-srctchcd arms and shouting, "Glory,
| Glory | see my Saviour coming ~ started
towards the East. In passing by one who was
Of rather doubtful faith, in gush Of gene
rosity, he exclaimed "Seize my coat tail
seize my coat-tail will take you with me -
The scene at this time, as may be well Imagined,
was one Of extreme confusion and intense eX-
cltcment.
We would not have supposed that men could
| become SO much infatuated and especially,
those steady, earnest, simple Tunkers-but
such is our poor, weak, human nature many
| of our loftiest ambitions are but the height Of
Stiffness to calmer and superior intelligence.
