SOLVENT POWER OF WATER =
So great is the amount of mineral
matter taken up by water in flowing
over the earth to the sea, that were
the process of returning it to the
soil any other than that of distil'
lation, the water on the globe would
soon become unfit for use in the anl'
NAL economy. The circulation Of
water from sea to sky, from sky to
land, and from land back again to
the sea, is one Of those grand oper-
ations of nature, which, when under
stood, excite the highest feelings d
admiration. The sea is a great dis.
tilliDg apparatus, which, under the
actions of the suns beat, throws of
enormous volumes Of vapor into the
grandest of all condensers, the at
mosphere. Here the vapor is again
converted into liquid, and falls upon
the earth but it has left in the bed
of the ocean the burden Of lime,
magnesia, and other earthly and sa'
line matter it carried to the sea on
former journeys. twill return again
with another burden, and be again
distilled, and SO on as long as the
earth remains in its present form and
condition. There can be no question
that this process of abrasion and sos
luton would eventually gil the seas
and level all the mountains on the
face Of the earth, were it not for
upheavels of portions of the earth q
crust, and the depression of other
portions by the action Of powerful
internal forces. 10 this point Of
view even earthquakes may have
their uses, and act to prevent the
world from gradually becoming a
vast aqueous desert Scientific

GRAVE MISTAKES. = The New
York World says: Hardly a week
passes that We do not hear of a
premature burial. The story always
comes to rs 10 bearly the same
shape. A cofiin is sxhumed for one
reason and another, and the corpse
has changed its position, while the
shroud is torn in several places.
Immediately every one who is cog
infant Of the event jumps to the very
unnecessary conclusion that the coffin
was inferred With q livieg inmate
who, on returning to consciousness,
had struggled violently. though
hopelssslys to escape. Nov, the
theory of premature burials in such
cases as these in entirely gratuitious.
Every medical man knows TINT the
gases generated by decomposition
frequently act with sufficient forcenot
only TO change the posture of the
corpse after burial but even to burst
open the coffin. Were the inmates
of any large cemetery to be exhumsd
the same appearances which are now
accepted as evidences Of premature
burial would be found to exist 10
scores of cases probably, indeed 10
the majority of instances 10 which
the burial bad been sufficiently recent
to admit Of the possibility of detect
Jog any change in the position of
the body. Unfortunately this well
substantiated fact is not generally
known except to scientific men.
Consequently we hear continually of
premature burials, which are certain.
ly among the most disagreeable i,ems
Of news which one can meet, and
which bring uncalculabIe grief and
horror to the friends of the supposed
victims 1t is not impossible that
10 rare instances some unfortunate
person is buried before life is entirely
extinct, but to conclude from the
mere appearance of an exhumed
coffiu that the inmate has been the
victim of such accident is in the
highest degree unreasonable and
unnecessary.

The Spanish Consul at New York

A PRINoE AMONG Fools. The
London, Canada, Prototype says
The eagerness with which a certain
class of people seek after anything
in any way pertaining to any celebra>
ted individual has been especially
noticeable throughout the whole tour
of the Prince. Where be has stop
ped to dine the remains of wine and
water have been eagerly drank up,
and in some cases the glasses themN
selves have been taken away. One
servant gave satisfaction to a much
larger number than could otherwise
have had a sip. at one railway eats
ing saloon, by changing the glass
and then re6lling it as often as the
credlous msidens drained it. When
The Prince had turned the sod Of the
new railway all the ladies in the
vicinity of the new earth rushed for

bits of the same wrapped in hand
kerchiefs. Col. Elphistone consid>
erately wears nice, new gloves when
be travels, and the Prince usually
wears a pair of soiled Lavenders.
The Two gentleman also wear hats
exactly alike on all occasions. When
they take off their hats aud leave
their gloves, every one thinks that
the best must belong to the Prince,
and the consequence is that Colonel
Ephistone has lost seven right-hand
gloves! The Princes pocket-hand-
keIchief was snatched from his hand
at the ball at London, and every effort
to recover it proved Intellectual, but
about a week afterward it was sent
to him through some unknown
source. The Governor General too,
is a sufferer at the hands of the re
lie plunderers. He is accustomed to
wear white kersey hat, and during
his trip through Ontario be lost no
less than six.

ately in front of the chair is the

the same period-a plain, substan-
tial piece of work of same material
as chair. Passing around to the
right of the hall we are favored
with an inspection Of the private
writing de,k Of Washington, used
by him for many years before, and
for some time after he ceased to be
President. 1t is about eight feet
long, and contains a number of
small and one large drawer, and was
used by the first President in writing
his first inaugural and also his fare
well address. For fear that it might
be stolen, and there might not be
any distinctive marks by which it
could be identified, / put my autos

drawers, precautiOn which several
others who preceded me had taken.
Passing around the room the chairs
of all the members are seen Just as
they left them. At the other end
of the hall is the chair of the Vice
President, Daniel ToupkiUs, and in
back room the chair and desk Of
Alexander Hamilton, all objects Of
deep interest to every American.
Around the walls are suspended
original paintings of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, and other distin-
guished Americans, including por-
traits of all the Governors of New
York. The objects which l have
just hastily alluded to, would almost
repay a citizen of the Pacific coast
