EARrHoUAKEs.-It is more than prob
able that the interior Of the earth con-
tains a sea Of fire that GIBBS and flows
in conformity with fixed laws, as in the
case of the waters on tho earth's sur
face. The attending phenomena in the
case Of the late extensive shock in
South America would seem to bear out
such a belief, rs well as those noticedi in
other instances where details could be
reached. If this hypothesis be correct,
it will be obviously plain that climatic
conditions do not enter into the crea-
ton of the phenomena, although they
may possibly have some agency in de-
termining the magnitude of results.
And eyen this agency would be entirely
dependent upon the extent to which
that portion of electricity would move
in the matter, that is assigned by
natural laws to places outside Of the
earth, susceptible to attraction by, or
ready for cooperation with currents
confined within it. 1t is not at all in
conflict with existing evidences to sup
pose that these shocks are caused every
time his hypothetical sea of fire, finds
new channels for its course, and its in
iucnces penetrate into the presence of
others of a different and a~ntagonistic
nature. Volcanoes may be regarded as
vents for this sea, designed for the
escape of forces that cannot BE confined
without universal danger.

The Democratic party is alike indifferent
to either the smiles or frowns Of power, as II
worships at the shrine Of the Constitution,
and keeps ever bright and glowing, a. the
polar star Of its faith, the changeless princi-
pies and immortal truths embodied in the
teachings Of those whose inspired wisdom
founded the nation and steadisd its youthful
steps from infancy to manhood's prime
HIm6oLR Register.
The above is the best "goak" we
have seen in a Democratic paper for the
last eight years, but it would have
sounded better, to humbug people, be-
fore the election, than now The De-
mocracy worshiping ga the shrine Of
the Constitution" is particularly rich,
after three-fourths of that party have
endeavored for the past seven years to
destroy it. How this world is given to
Misrepresentation Why, many OF
these devout w~orshipers ga the
shrine of the Constitution" sold their
votes and their faith in the Democratic
programme for two dollars and II half at
the late election. Negroes would not
sell their votes so cheap as that not
inuch.

WEroHr OF PRopLE.-The average re-
turns show that u citizen Of the world,
on the first appearance in public, weighs
about six pounds and a half; a boy
baby a little more, n girl baby a little
less. Some very modest babies hardly
turn the scales with two pounds and q
half, while other pretentious youngsters
boast of ten or eleven pounds. When
Shylock asked for his /" pound Of fesh,'
he asked for an equivalent to a little
less than the sixth Of a baby. How the
tiny one grows during childhood we
need not trace here but 1t may be in
terestiug to know that girls and boys Of
twelve years Of age are nearly equal in
weight after which limit males are
heavier than females of the same age.
Young men Of twenty average II hundred
and forty. three pounds each, while the
young women Of twenty average a hun
dred and twenty pounds. Men reach
their heaviest bulk at about thirty-6ve,
when their average weight is about q
hundred and ffty-two pounds I; but the
women slowly fatten until fifty, when
their average is a hundred and twonty-
nine pounds. Men and women together,
thoir weight at full growth averages
about twenty times as heavy as they
were on the first day Of their existence.
OF course, averages are here only meant.
The averages were formed from men
ranging from n hundred and eight to
two hundred and twenty pounds, and
women from lightweight to two hum
dred and seven pounds. The actual
weight of human nature, taking all ages
and conditions-nobles, clergy, tinkers,
t~ailors, maidens, boys, girls and babies,
all iucluded-the average weight is al
most one hundred pounds, a%voirdupois,
for each human being ; a quantity easy
to remember at any rate. "

Of this place a few days, after q repose
Of thirteen years. The entire upper
portion Of the body from tho little
thighs had returned to the native
/" dust" nothing remaining to indicate
the form Of a human being, while from

rounded limbs Of a babe /; everything

THIS INDIAN WAR.-Letters from Fort
Hays, Kansas, give an interesting ac-
count of the forces ROW moving against
the hostile Indians, who have fallen
back south of the Arkansas River in
order to build lodges for their winter
quarters. The principal hostile tribes
in the district mentioned are the Arapa-
hoes, Apaches, Kiowas and Cam"nches'
There is also a band composed OF out
laws, both white and copP%er-colored,
called Dog Soldiers. These dogs
ars reported to be scattered about
among the head waters Of the streams
north of the Smoky Hill River, along
the valley Of which the Kausas-PaciGc
Railroad runs. The expedition against
the Indians is moving toward Sand
Plains, south of the Arkansas River,
and will probably make that point the
base of supplies.

A FARMER in Chesterfield, w., wish
ing to sell his farm, says that he has
often noticed that every farm advertised
for sale is situated in or near some city
or village, easily accessible to railroad
stations, churches and sc%hoolhouses,
has new and c%ommodious buildings, is
well watered, and has valuable timber.
Thinking the public may not want the
same thing repeated, he says his farm
"is very far removed from any public
road, the buildings are neither new ner
in good repair, and the land needs en-
riching. The cattle, such as they are,
raised upon the fodder of the place
(brakes, dogacamus and hardhack),
will sell or give to the purchaser Of the
farm. Any one desiring to know further
particulars can call on or write to -,
proprietor"
