Rev, Stephen H. Tying, Jr., whose recent
trespassing upon the pious preserves of New
Jersey, resulted in his trial by an ecclesiastical
court and admonition by the Bishop, has been
advertised to appear once more upon the same
ground. The announcement is made that he
would preach, on Sunday next, in the Wig
wan, at Jersey City This announcement has
called forth protest from Rev. s. NJ: Rice,
Rector of Grace Church, of that city, who
thinks that Mr.. Tying would be better employ
ed in his own parish. He accuses him of neg
lecting the poor and sick of his flock, and
wonders how, when he suffers his brethren to
be called upon to visit his sick and bury his
dead" he can find time to go away from home
to preach
The covering for submarine telegraphic
cables ordinarily employed is gutta-percha,
but for this there is substituted in the Rowett
cable a hempen texture. Captain Roux, Of
the French navy, suggests sparterie, manufao-
tured from the plant dLfa. This, he claims,
lasts an indefinite period in salt water, and
preserves cables from injury in their contact
with rocks. In laying the cables it would be
of advantage, its floating power lesseniug the
chances of the cable breaking by descending
too rapidly into the sea.

Northern India is again threatened with
q famine that may revive the recent terrible
scenes in Orissa, where two millions Of people
died of starvation. There was scarcely any
hot weather in May and Juue, and the rains,
which began a month before the usual time,
have done immense damage. The rice crops,
including those which have been sown a Sec
ond time, are ruined. Orissa, and all the dis
trict between Calcutta and the sea, have been
deluged. Yet, while this superabundance of
moisture has fallen on the coast, the central
districts are suffering still more from drought

The Gentemans Magazine describes q
new English patent for reliet-printing by pho
Biography: A drawing is made in line or stip-
pie, and a negative photograph is taken from
it. This is used to print upon film of gela-
tine mixed with chronic salt, which gives an
impression with the whites of the picture in
intaglio and the lines in relet A plaster cast
is taken from this matrix, and type-metal
cast from the plaster. This last is touched up,
if necessary, and mounted, like a stereotype,
for printing. A manifest advantage OF the
method is that it allows the block to be pro-
duced upon any scale relatively TO the original
drawing
The English papers contain accounts Of
storms which though unusual, are not with
ont precedent. At Milbury Heath, near
Tbornbury, the turnpike road for distance Of

storm occurred at Tockington, few miles dis
tant, some forty years ago.
We are soon to hear how the Mormon sys-
tenn strikes a clever, straightforward and fear
less French lady. Madame Olympic Audouard,
whose Investigations into the harem life Of tho
East made a sensation in Paris some years
ago. is uow.travelling in the far West, and has
inst visited Utah and Salt Lake City. What
ever Madame Audouard sees she will be toler-
ably sure not to misunderstood, aud wha ever
she learns she will be quite sure fearlessly aud
honestly to state. Her comparisons of the
polygamy OF the New World with the polyga-
my of the Old may be confidently looked tor
ward to as certain both to arrest attention and
to reward it,
