THE WAraE FAMINE IN New JERSEY.

The WATER FAMINE IN New JERSEY
Several points in New Jersey are just
now severely suffering from a scarcity
of water At Englishtown, in Mon
mouth county, the absence of any rain
for four or five weeks has resulted very
seriously. ALI the wells are dry or
nearly so, and the water that ordinarily
would not be kept in the houses a mo-
mentis now boarded as a miser would
his money bags. Mr.. Smock, the hotel
keeper, states that if the present
drought continues the farmers are in
danger of losing not only their cattle,
but the greatest portion of the corn and
other cereals. At Jamesburg and Road
hall, in the same county, a similar state
of affairs exists. Yesterday, at Morris
town, the good people were greatly
alarmed in consequence of its having
gone abroad that the reservoir which
mostly supplies the town had run dry.
In this case, however, it was not alto
gether the prevailing drought that
caused the stoppage of supplies, but
the alleged reckless waste of water by
the employees of the Morris and Essex
Railroad. The locomotives have always
procured water from the reservoir. The
people have begun to hunt up all the
old wells that had been disused for
years past. In Passaic, as well as in
Morris county, the farmers are begin
ming to fear serious loss of crops
should the drouth continue. A large
quantity of corn has already been par
TALLY destroyed.

At the great diamond factory in Am

The work is mostly executed by hand,

are handled by the workmen as if they
were the commonest Of common things;
and yet perfect system of accounta-

particle of weight can be lost without
prompt detection. The business is all
in the hands of the Jews and speak

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGo.-One hun
bred and ten years ago we learn that
there was not single white man in
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Then, what is now the most flourish
ing part of America was as little known
as the country around the mountains
of the moon. 1t was not until 1867
that Boone left his home in North
Carolina TO become the first settler of
Kentucky. The first pioneer of Ohio
did not settle until twenty years after
this time, A hundred years ago Cana
da belonged to France, and the whole
population did not exceed million
and a half OF people. A hundred years
ago, the great Frederick of Prussia was
performing those great exploits which
have made him immortal in military
annals, and with his little monarchy
was sustaining single-handed contest
with Russia, Austria and France, the
three great powers of Europe combin-
ed. A hundred years ago, Napoleon
was not born, and Washington was a
modest Virginia colonel, and the great
events of the two worlds, in which
these great but dissimiliar men took
leading parts, were then scarcely fore
Swallowed. A hundred years ago, the
United States were the most loyal part
OF the British empire, and on the polit-
ical horizon no speck indicated the
struggle which within a. score of years
thereafter established the great repub-
lie of the world. "A hundred years ago,
there were but four newspapers in
America, steam-engines had not been
Imagined, and railroads and telegraphs
had not entered into the remotest con
ception of men. When we come to
look back at it through the vision of
history, we find that to the century
passed has been allotted more import
ant events, in their bearing upon the
happiness of the world, than almost
any other which has elapsed since the
creation.

A Fearful Ride on a Cowcatcher.

As the day express going west on the
Michigan Central Railroad was nearing Al
bion Mich, on the afternoon of the End ult.
the passengers waiting for the train were
startled by the frequent whistling of the en-
CINE, indicating distractions on the track.
1t was soon found that Mr.. Saigon, of Sher-
idan, was driving at furious pace to get
his horses and wagon across the track before
the engine reached the crossing The en-
gineer did his best to stop the train, but it
was too late, and the oowoatcher struck just
between the wagon and horses, separating
them instanter, and consigning each to a
place on opposite sides of the track, little or
none the worse for the collision. But the
strangest part of the story remains to betold.
Mr.. Saigon and his wife (both about sixty
fve) were caught upon the platform above
the cowcatcher and just in front of the en-
CINE, where, instead Of losing presence of
mind and throwing themselves off, they set
tied themselves oomposedly, as though moth
ing had happened. The old lady put her
hands in her muff. while the old man, with
one hand extended as though grasping the
reins and the whip raised in the other, as
sumed an attitude that Dan Mace might en-
Wy; and thus the old couple rode up to the
station in triumph, amid the cheers of the
bystanders. AS soon as the train stopped
a number rushed to their assistance; but
they declined all aid, manifesting no concern
for themselves, but considerable for the fate
Of the horses and wagon. The former were
uninjured, while the damages to the latter
were found to be very triaing.

A Mathematical Pr0digy-Blind Ben, the
Calculator. w.

Bidder & Barnum's famous Lightning
Calculator one for years the wonder of
all England, and the other Of America-are
both eclipsed by negro boy now in Rich
mond. The former had sight, instruction,
and other advantages, while the latter is a
poor negro boy who cannot see wink, has
lived two-thirds of his years in slavery and
never went to school for day in his life.
The name of our prodigy is Ben Stevens.
He is native of Caroline, and was formerly
a slave Of DR.. Morris, of that county. In
1864 he first showed his skill at figures, but
when he learned the multiplication table we
are not informed. He soon astonished the
people Of the neighborhood by his remarka-
bic quickness at adding, suhtraoting, multi
plying and dividing, but only lately did the
story reach Richmond.
A day or two ago he was brought to town,
and on Tuesday evening, in presence of q
number of gentlemen, gave an exhibition of
his wonderful powers. Upon first sight of
the illy-clad creatures grinning mouth, re-
treating forehead, and overriding, sightless
eyeballs, one would be most likely to put him
down as an idiot. But give him 'sum,"
as he calls mathematical problem, and he
pricks his ears, opens his mouth, and shows
that he is sensible enough.
On the occasion referred to, every exam
pie propounded Ben worked out quickly and
correctly withou. resorting to pencil or pen,
of the use Of which he is, indeed, as ignorant
as of the use of the camera obscura, or oxy-
hydrogen blow-pipe. In several instances
he gave the solution before the hy-standdeers
could work it out on paper, Long rows Of
figures items, hundreds and thousands, were
retained upon his mind, and in every case
correctly added. In subtraction, thong h
perfectly ignorant Of the common arithmeti-
cal nomenclature, he was equally quick: and
the same may be said of his exercises in
multiplication, Finally, he was tested in
square and cube root; and in that, too,
showed his proficiency. A stranger asked
the cube root of 1T $40. In few moments
Ben promptly gave the answer, to the aston
ishment of the spectators.
But we cannot 60 into further detail
Blind Ben is certainly as great prodigy as
Blind Tom, though the latter would draw
greater crowds on exhibition. A visit to
Ben (there is no charge) will we'll repay any
lover of 'great natural curiosltles, "-Dis,

The Shell We Inhabit.

Prof. LOOMS, of New Haven, begins to
consider the earth very unsafe place to
stay on any longer, from the fact that the
late volcanic manifestations have been SO
general in their character that there is no
longer any doubt about the theory that all
volcanoes have not local, but general
and common origin in the central liquid
parts of our globe, where the most intense
heat prevails. In comparison to this inte-
rior liquid mass the crust on which we live
must be excessively thin. Prof Leomis
thinks that it is proved now that these erup-
tons are caused By water getting into that
central fire, where, after having been con-
verified into steam by the heat, it exerts a
most enormous pressure upon the earth's
crust, up heaving, shaking, bursting it open.
ejecting the interior liquid mass which we
call lava, etc. He thinks there is now great
danger of part of the water in the ocean
getting through the crust in the central fire,
and having been changed into steam. tany
moment blowing the whole ball to peices.-
In fact, he compares our earth to hugh
steam boiler, under extra pressure.
The fate in store for us poor mortals is, in
accordance with our learned professor, the
same as that which befell the inhabitants of
the planet once existing between Mars and
Jupiter. This planet, about fifty times lar
ger than the earth, was from such cause,
it is thought, blown into several hundred
pieces Of these, ninety-seven have been dis
covered by astronomers they are called as
teroids. The smaller ones are thus far lost
to us. Some German speculative philoso-
pliers have given us touching descriptions
Of the emotions experienced by the inhabi-
tants thus suddenly separated parents on
one piece, children on another; husband on
one, and wife on another and that too, with
out the least probability Of ever sending TO-
each other messages by mail Or telegraph.

And flowers spread their treasures OF crimson
