INCIDENTS OF A Hail STORM.-The re-
markable hail storm which recently visited
Philadelphia was prolific in incident aside
from the breaking of glass to the value Of
S200,OOO. The accounts say that the fro
zen erolites descended in s' chunks" and OF
such solidity that they rebounded from
roof and sidewalk without sustaining frac-
ture. So large were the frozen spheres OF
rhomboids, that to be exposed to them IL
( the street was absolutely dangerous. ii
was question Of escaping with an unfrac
snred Uranium or with an unparalleled
spine The haIi-stones did MT descend IN
compact shower. In dropping many of
them were yard apart. One reporter,
with lady's work-box measure, took the
circumference of some of the larger ones
that of the largest was six inches, and as
symmetrical In form as a Mercer potato.
A test of their weight showed that out of
dozen, two weighed pound each The
smallest one of the lot, seooped up at hap
hazard, weighed just two ounces and an
eighth. The storm was as curious as it was
destructive.

Protection for Vermont Farmers

We find in the Congressional Globe of last
Friday, the following record of the proceed
ings had during the discussion and action in
the House in revising the report of the Com
mittee on the Ia riff

follows

that paragraph by striking out 30" and
inserting '' 30"

Mr.. SMITH, of Vermont. The bills reads
20 per cent, and propose to make it 80
per cent. In the existing law the duty stands
at 20 per cent. do not desire to make any
argument or to consume any of the time of
the committee 4 sufficient amount of time
and attention has been given to the encour-
agement and fostering of the manufacturing
interests of the country. We have now for
the first time approached paragraph in
which the agricultural interests, OF which
we have heard so much and to which so many
alIusions have been made, have direct and
speciaI interest. I am somewhat surprised,
on looking at the details of the statistics, to
see the great difference that exists IN the
degree of protection which is afforded to that
great and leading interest OF the country
and that given to the special interest OF man

A CURIOUS LEGEND.-When Adam was
far advanced in years and at the point of
death, he sent his son to the angel Michael,
who kept the gate of Paradise, to pray
for the oil of mercy, so that he could be
healed. The angel answered that it could
not be until ffty-fve hundred years, but
he gave Seth branch of the tree of which
Adam had eaten, bidding him plant it on
Mount Lebanon, and that when it bore
fruit his father should be healed. Seth
planted the branch on his fathers grave /;
it took root and grew, and from it we're
made Aaron's rod, and Moses staff with
which ne struck the rock and sweetened
the waters of Marah 1t also formed the
pole on which the brazen serpent was lifted
up and the ark of the testimony. At last
it came into the hands of Solomon, who
used 1t in building his palace but 1t con-
tinually resisted the efforts of the builders
to adjust it. Now it was too long, and
then again too short. The builders, being
angry, then threw it into marsh, so that
it might. serve as a bridge. The queen OF
Sheba would not walk upon 1t, but adored
it, and told Solomon that upon 1t should
be suspended the man through whose death
the kingdom should be destroyed. Solo
mon then had it buried deep in the ground,
where afterwards the pool OF Bethesda
was dug, and from the virtues of this tree
healing properties were impaired to the
waters. After it had been buried three
hundred years it rose to the surface of the
water, and the Jews took 1t and made of
it the cross of our Saviour.-TFrom the
Cross in Legend, Poetry, and Art, IN the
May number of Lippincott's Magazine

PETTY JEALOUsY.-In a sermon deliv-
cred about year since, the late Bishop
Kingsley said !:
This petty, mean jealousy that some
body else will do something that will eclipse
another, has been the bane of successful
warfare, and it has gone even so far that
men almost apologize for such things, by
saying that great mountains never touch
at the top. Well, 1 suppose they do not,
away up in the region of eternal frost, but
they do touch down at the bottom, where
they are largest, where the little vines
grow, and the wheat-feld waves, and the
gurgling spring gushes out in the sunlight,
and the songs of gladness are echoing from
hill to hill.

The VALUE OF SrYLE.-Style means an
arrangement of words that shall make the
authors meaning rise up in the logical
order of the ideas, and thus save the read
er all needless toll; such choice of phrase
and balance of clause and structural grace
of sentence as shall satisfy the sense OF
beauty. All these qualities characterize
style of the highest order. Style is therefore
an expedient to make reading easy. and to
perpetuate the life of written thought. OF
all the badly written books bequeathed by
past generations, none have lived but those
of transcendent intellectual merit, or those
to which a supreme historical value is lent
By their pictures of vanished days, whereas
writing of the secondary intellectual rank
may be kept green by the value of its artis-
tic workmanship Spectator.

tious in the town, and the former rendered
a call to a minister and it was accepted
the time for installing exercises had been
fixed. and the selectmen began to fear that
the estate would be claimed. The board
waited upon the church officers and asked
if some arrangement couldn't be made oy y
which the school department could stiii
gain advantage from the bequest. The
reply was somewhat evaslve-slmply that
thew desired noundue advantage, and should
merely expect their own. About this time
a meeting of the Universalist society was
called, and a call was rendered to hev.
Joel Winch, Methodist oetogenarlan. re-
siding in the town, to become their pastor.
The call was at once accepted; Father
Winch replying, " Inasmuch as ne had ever
believed and preached that all men would
be saved, who accepted the gospel, he ac-
cepted the call to become the pastor OF the
Universalist Society in Northtield. The
installation services took place within day
or two, and 9 the first settled pastor be-
came proprietor of the bequeathed estate,
which was next transferred by Rev. Joel
Winch to the town of Mortified, to be for
ever improved for the benefit of the schools
of said town. Father Winch soon after
resigned his pastoral charge. The notified
/ installation at the Congregational church
didn't take place.-Salem Register.
The narrator of<his odd chapter of V err
mont history should revise the story by
saying that the bequest was sequestration,
usual in the town charters, of certain lands
1 for the use and behoof of the first settled
minister, and also certain other lands fol
the use of schools or academies. These
were called, in common parlance, ministers
rights and school rights Father Winch
was queer genius in his day, sometimes
catching his antagonists with guile, and
quoting scripture for the deed.

eminent Semitic sc6oIaafg, hung OF Munich sn
the famous Moabite stone, discoHVItgse1lo Oh

The passage which was supposed to allude
to the sacrifice of his son by Mesha, when
besieged by the allied kings ofJudah, Israel,
and Edom, DR.. Hung considers to refer to
works undertaken by Mesha for the i'm
Provement of the city which he had built.
The word which was translated " burnt Of

that meaning. Besides this there is no
mention of either Judah or Edona in the

THE GULF SrREAM-There Is a river
in the ocean. In the severest droughts it
never fails, and in the mightiest floods it
never overfows Its banks and its bottom
are of cold water, while its current Is of
warm The Gulf of Mexico Is its foun-
tain, and its mouth is in the Arctic Seas.
1t is the Gulf Stream There is in the
world no other so majestic flow of water.
Its current is more rapid than the Mississip-
pi or the Amazon, aud its volume more
than a thousand times greater. Its waters,
as far out as the Corolina coasts, are of an
indigo blue. They are so distinctly mark
ed that the line Of junction with the COM
mon sea-water may be traced By the eye.
Often one-half of the vessel may be per-
ceiyed floating in the gulf-stream water,
while the other half is in the common
water of the sea. so sharp Is the line and
the want of affinity between these waters;
and such, too, the reluctance, so to speak,
on the part of those of the gulf stream, to
mingle with the common water of the sea.
In addition to this, there is another pecu-
liar fact. The fishermen on the coast of
Norway are supplied with wood from the
tropics by the gulf stream. Think Of the
Arctic fishermen burning upon their hearts
the palms of Hayti. the mahogany of Hon
duras, and the precious woods of the ANA
zon and the Orinoco,

EARTHoUAKEs.-Noa amount of familiar
ity with earthquakes enables one to laugh
during the shock, or even at the subter-
ranean thunder, which sounds like the
clanking chains in the realm Pluto.
The horse trembles in his stall; the COW
means a low melancholy tune the dog
sends forth an unearthIy yell; sparrows
drop from the trees as if dead crocodiles
leave the trembling bed of the river, and
run with loud cries into the forest and
man himself becomes bewildered and loses
all capacity When the earth rocks be-
meath our feet (the motion resembling, in
the words of Darwin, that felt by per-
son skating over thin ice, which bends
under the weight of his body , something
besides giddiness is produced. We feel
our utter insigni6eance in the presence of
a mysterious power that shakes the Andes
like reed But more there is an awful
sensation of insecurity. A moment, says
Humboldt, destroys the illusion of a whole
life our deceptive faith in the repose of
nature vanishes, and we feel transported,
as it were, into a region of unknown des-
tructive forces A Judgment day seems
impending, each movement is an age when
one stands on a world couvulsed.
