1 G. xe. on the Connection of Science
/ sbd Rsvealed Religion, - full OF astonish-
! ing facs. We learn from it that the
/ crust Of the earth is just twenty-one
! miles thick; that the worlds cor fRgra-
/ ton has already begun, as the internal
| fires are tending rapidly to its annihils-
I ton that earthquakes have multiplied
since the Christian era. and indicate q
| speedy eOlispse OF our system that, IL
the Lisbon earthquake had been little
more severe, the shock would have
driven out that portion of its surface (;
and, most wonderful all, that " on the
iist dsy Of the pFeseu. century little
planet was discovered Is Keplsr, in our
system, and since then q large family of
these little planets have appeared, which
are paris OF an exploded world. Some
ot th5se fragments fell on the earth in
the shape OF meteOTs. IF Kepler's planet
exploded, why Lot ours ?'
AT an examination in one of our
young ladies' seminsries, the other day,
the question was put to a class Of little
ores Who makes the laws OF our
government :" = Congress-" was the
ready reply. How is Congress di-
videG?" was the next question. But the
little girl to whom il was put failed to
snsweT it. Another little girl Ia the
class raised up her hand, indicating that
she could answer it. f swell, +" said the
examiner, " Miss Sailie, what do you
say the division is 20 Instantly, with
an sir Of confidence as well as triumph,
the answer came. "Civiiizad, half civil
.zsd ard savage"
The Datroit Press tells of an unsexed
and brswny woman who went cut West,
bought forty acres Of land, grubbed out
fourteen scrss OF heavy oak, chopped
and split rails, built 3 house, soWsd eight
acres Of wheat, dug bitches, supplied her
neighbOis with ak helyes and splint bas
ket5, besides attending TO her domestic
chores all with Der own hands, in 9
year and half. This stsving creature
y held Up as a sort Of argument for SVo-
man suffrage. Barnum's Hairy Wo-
man would have furnished another OF
ike character.

u. S. BONDS.
What COmes of Their Secret
ESsuS.

tFom the New York Commonwealth
Ia accordance with the announcement
We made semi officially few days ago,
Mr.. MeCuilOch has positively denied the
gVaIl street rumors that he has been Sc
cretly issaing S. 900, 600 of Government
bonds. Such reports are extremely mis-
chievous, and they can easily bs stopped.
Congress should pass law prohibiting
the Issue OF any bonds whatsoever, eZ-
cept those OF ti.e latest denomination.
Confusion OF the % ost E4isehieyOGs char
aeter has arisen every now and then Ia
the market, from the fact that after
given series Of the 6ve9twenties has been
long closed up, Mr.. McOGiio6h hss
secretly, Unexpectedly, and without any
notice, issued new bonds, and instead of
emitting bonds OF the latest den0mina-
ton, has chosen TO print instead new
bonds, bearing Did dates, and belonging
to former issues. Thus. dnring the years
1857 and 1868, bonds were issued from TIRE
Treasury, bearing the dates Of 1852, 1864
ana 1868 Such an abuse as this eannet
longer be tolerated. Probably there is
not ths vestige OF an excuse for the sale
Of six per cent. gold bonds, and at any
rate the continuance of any implied au-
taorlty. for further Issues of bonds Of
1892, 1854, 1865 or 1867, can do only mis-
chief. Periodical rumors Of intended
ssles by the Secretary are made use OF to
depress the Government credit, to hslp
the speeulstors who engineer the money
market, aud to bring repreach upon the
Treasury management, All this can be
effectuslly stopped by definitely
closing up all existing authority, and all
implied authority for the issue Of gold
bonds, except those of the very last se-
ries. And even these bonds should not
be Issued except with due publicity.

FINANCIAL.
Present and Prospective C0naI-
GiOB Of lle Treasury.

The WOTtd' financial writer thus ex-
presses MS spprehensions Of the future ::
The programme OF some OF the RepUb-
!iesa leaders at Washington to strength
en- the financial position OF the govern
msnt by passing an act Of Congress to
suthOrize the issue OF S25, coo. 900 more
OF three per cent. certificates and S55,-
600 COO more of greeGbseks 10 be held ss
= reserve, has been very generally dis
cursed to day among business men. The
falling Off in the internal revenue re-
ceipts promises to place the Treasury De-
perLneRt in sn embarrassing position
for currency, which will necessitzie the
sale Of gold OF bonds 10 obtain currency
The gold balance is much below what
It ought to De, and it is quite certain that no
progress can be made, even in tie direc-
ton Of specie payments, until the Treasu-
~ Department holds four or five times its
present amount OF gold. That the gold
balance held by the Government must
DC increased by some means or other, is
now Acknowledged BY ail whose opin-
ions are entitled to any weight, both in
and cut Of Congress, and for the Gov
erament and the bar - to continue to
seh their surplus gold 3 heretofore is a
policy which leads ia ln opposite dlrec-
ton from the road to specie payments
If tke Government is forced TO sell its
gold or bonds TO raise currency, as It GER
rainiy will be this spring, from the fall
ing off in the revenue, what reasonable
hope is there OF having any policy which
lesds to specie payments? The issue Of
S25, 100000 more OF three per cent. GER
Hdca,es would probably obviate the ne
cesslty for any further sales Of gold or
bonds, and the $50, ,0O0,0C0 reserve of
greenbacks would give the Government
pOwer to otfset any locking up Of green
backs by stock jobbers, and the engir eer-
ing OF tight money market by sr1ifi-
cial means, to the great loss ard Injury Of
the mercantile community.

How TO KEEP Cool. The following
simple hints, from The Scientific American
are useful to remember during warm wealth
er OF the present season: Be sparing in
your diet. which should consist principally
Of fruits, berries and vegetables. Avoid
every thing OF y greasy nature: also spices,
condiments and swefs Drink nothing
but water. Chew nothing but food. and
chew that we'll but do not chew too much
OF it. Excess in eating is one of the pr!n-
cipal causes of that lazy, listless, relaxing
'eeling experienced 10y so many persons in
hot weather. Dress lightly and change
often. Wear nothing at night which is
worn during the day. Bathe the body
every morning with cool or cold water.
Keep clean conscience as well as clean
body and clean clothing and don't get ex.
cited. If uncomfortably warm at any time,
lmmerso the hands, or feet. or both, in cold
water for Il short time, or let stream o'
cold water run upon the wrists and ankles.
This will cool the whole body In short
