The Great EARTHQUAKE.

We publish this morning the details, as
far as received, of the destructive earth
quake of the 18th August in Peru and
Ecuador. 1t is the most destructive calami-
ty of the kind which has occurred in our
day. Its extent, too, is quite remarkable.
The year has been prolific of earthquakes
on the Pacific American coast and in the
islands of the Pacific. The line of the con-
vulsions has extended from far down in
South America to California. The loss of
life and property had been considerable,
but the terrific event just reported sinks
all the preceding convulsions into compare
tive insignifcance.

LOCAL MATTERS.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CITY P0IST.-A
fire occurred at City Point about o'clock
on Sunday morning, which destroyed g
large amount Of property. 1t commenced in
small wooden building used as restau-
rant by Captain Phillips, situated opposite
the general warehouse of the railroad COM
pany, the Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany, the Powhatan Steamboat Company,
and the Philadelphia Steamship Company,
and the large receiving sheds used by them.
Owing to the inflammable materials of all
the buildings the flames spread with great
rapidity, consuming the houses above men
toned, with several shanties occupied by
the negro laborers and gtevedores. The
fire also destroyed six wharyes, leaving
only one standing.
The amount of loss is said to be very
heavy. Besides the buildings and wharves,
large quantity Of freight was burned,
destined principally to Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, New York, and Boston. The
steamer Minnie Brandt, which runs from
Petersburg in connection with the Powha-
tan Company's line, had landed her freight :;
all of which was lost. The schooner South
erner, from Boston, had landed valuable
cargo which was lost. Five hundred bar
rels of fertilizers for Petersburg, some
valuable machinery, and large quantity
of turpentine, rosin, and fish, were de-
stroyed.
With the exception of Mr.. William Nor
ris, who was slightly burned about the
breast in endeavoring to extinguish the
fire, which had caught his house, and ne
gro who was run over by hogshead, no
casualties occurred. ....-
Through the exertions of Captain Blake
man and his crew almost the entire freight
inward and outward of the Old Dominion
Steamship Company was saved by being
placed on cars and on the ship. The pumps
Of the ship were brought into play, and
men with axes endeavored to stay the
flames, but were driven back by the intense
heat, and compelled to take to the steamer,
which backed out into the stream, as did
also the other shipping at the dock.

Tn Baltimore on the 18th instant rye
WAS quoted at 81 .35 to 81 40. On SATURDAY
there were no receipts or sales reported.
In Boston on the 18th instant the quo'a'
ton was 81 go to S1.7O. ~,
The amount of barley received IN hlcn,
mond for sale is exceedingly small, out Z'4
bushels having been offered on 'Change
from the 18th July, 1867, to goth June
1868, inclusive, and but 81 bushels IN Au-
gust and September of this year.
In the early part Of last year the proprl-
etors of the James River Steam Brewery, IN
this CITY, made an offer to farmers through
out the State to supply them with seed bar
lev on credit, and to purchase the crop
when made at the full market price. =,
The offer thus made was but little aValleu
of and hence the small amount above re-
ported on Change. ...-.---
In the British Islands barley is more
prolific crop, and the grain is used for ma
king the porter, ale, and whiskey for which
Great Britain is celebrated. Hence 1t 49,
too, that the whiskey made there ls-or
rather was-so good and pure (for We hear
of considerable sdulterstion there now as
well as in other localities). .,-.....
In our wheat market yesterday there was
rather a better feeling. In Baltimore on
Saturday the offerings were about 10000
bushels. Market dull. Sales were at $3.50
for prime white 1896 for choice Maryland
red $3.50 for prime red.

Science and Faith

DR.. TYNDALL, Professor of Natural Phi
losophy in the Royal Institution of Great
Britain, one of the clearest thinkers and
one Of the most successful expounders of
science Of his age, has recently delivered
before the British Association a lecture on
materialism entitled "The Molecular
Theory in Matter aud Thought" In this
lecture the Doctor traced the molecular
theory to g point which he very literally
conceded it had reached. There he fixed
the termination of materialism, and beyond
this he asserts all is darkness to the "ma-
rialist." We make the following extract
from this very striking lecture:
ain affirming that the growth Of the
body is mechanical, and that thought,
~ exercised by US, has its correlative in the
physics Of the brain, think the position Of
the materialist' is stated aB far as that
position is tenablc one. | think tho ma
terialist will be able finally to maintain
this position against al attacks but do
constituted, that he can pass beyond it.
do not think he is entitled to say that his
molecular groupings and his molecular
emotions explain everything. In real
ity they explain nothing. The utmost
he can affirm is the association Of two
classes of phenomena, of whose real bond |
of union he is in absolute ignorance.
The problem OF the connection Of body and |
oul is az insoluble in its modern form as it
gas in the prs-seientifc ages. Phosphorus
