There is deal of pulpit performance,
word upon word, line upon line page
upon page; and yet measuring the great
mass OF preaching, there is scarcely any
thing the people buy and pay for that so
e6erresces. How few persons Of the con-
gregation can remember even the text Of
the sermons 20, we had such b-e.a-u.t,i>

now declare, let me see, the subject?
What's this the text was now, really, what
makes me SO folgetful, an sure thought
could remember that-but it has slipped
my mind.'
And that's the way it goes. Sermons
are generally SO oily they slip the peoples
minds. Why net rough them little

up, rendered, so impressed that at least
the text and theme, and leading thoughts
and points, may be remembered. st.

How q Fish Swims.

HOW FISH SWlmSe
It has been ascertained that the success
i've or simultaneous removal of the d0rsal,
pectoral, and ventral fms, only renders
the fish's position unsteady; but he could
swim as well as before. But if the end of
the caudal tail-fn be shipped of, its speed
IS diminished; if the entire fin is re-
moved, it moves still slower, and with
evident exertion, but bravely keeps it up
until the tail itself has been cut off; then
at last the poor victim to science succumbs,
rolls over and over like a log upon the
water, gasps convulsively, makes few
desperate but Intellectual struggles with its
abbreviated tail-and dies.
We have learned that fish cannot
swim without its tail. Let us now inquire
how it swims with it. Very much as you
scull q beat with an oar; but with the
difference that in this case the oar is q
part of the boat, and is flexible both in
its length and in its height.
Let us suppose the fish floating at rest
in the water. Its tail is extended straight
behind the body suddenly it is bent to
one side; this of course turns the head
towards the same side, and perhaps car
ries the fish little backward; but now
comes more forcible backward stroke Of
the tail, which turns the head the other
way and propels the fish forward. Then,
having reached the middle line, it is gently
bent to the other side, and again forcibly
extended. The result of these alternate
movements of the tail in opposite direc.
tons is, as in the sculling Of boat, to
propel the fish forward, not in straight,
but a zigzag direction. But the successive
movements are SO rapid that we notice only
the resultant forward motion, which is in
some species, as the salmon, at the rate
of twenty or twenty-five miles an hour,
and SO powerful that the sword.fish has
been known to thrust his sword through
copper sheathing. layer of felt, four inch
es Of deal, and fourteen inches of oak.
There are some tails, such as those of
sharks and of sea-snakes, which are long
and narrow, and stiff from edge to edge
and these are "feathered' like an oar.

Mining.

Mining.
Early in March of this year, Prof. j.
H. McChesney, of this city, laid before
document executed by Capt Benjamin
Richardson, of New York, conveying the
property, Is feet front on Eighth avenue,
by one hundred feet on Forty. third street,
to the university, the income of which is
to be used to endow the Richardson COL
lege of mining and the practical sciences
in this city. The property is worth now
at least $4,000, and rents for about
$4,000. The trustees appointed com.
mittee consisting of Hon. B. w. Raymond,
Mr.. r. w. Patterson, Hon. C. H. McCor-
mick, and ex.Lieut. Gov. Bross, to pro-
coed to New York ard present letter of
thanks to Capt. Richardson for this mu-
nifcent gift. They met Capt. Richardson
at the Office of his attorney, and enjoyed
highly interesting interview. They
visited the property, and found everything
as had been represented. The letter Of
Capt. Richardson made it plain that he
founded the institution in Chicago out of
compliment to his friend, Prof. McChesney.
The friendship grew up while they were
travelling together in Europe, and to it is
Chicago indebted for this mining college,
the necessity for which has been felt in
the northwest for many years. Prof. Nc
Chesney's cabinet is the collection of his
life, and is valued at SAC, 900 from which
he makes deduction of $4,000 as his
donation to the college. The cabinet
members not less than 100000 minerals,
ranging through all the departments of
geology and mineralogy. 1t has been
collected either personally or by exchange
or purchase from all parts of the world,
with special adoption to the uses of uni
versity instruction, and is believed to be
inferior to no collection in existence
Arrangements have already been made for
the purchase Of the cabinet. The lot and
the building remain to be secured. 1t is
to be hoped that some property-holder
will at once donate several acres to secure
the location. The great value Of school
Of mines has been referred to. With it
will come smelling furnaces for the ores
now sent to New Jersey.
The control of hundreds of mines will
thus be made to center in Chicago, and
her business thereby greatly augmented.
Civil engineering and architecture will be
among the special branches, both of which
professions are in great demand in this
city. Capt. Richardson, the donor of this
splendid gift to Chicago, came from Eng
land as cabin-boy, when about 20 years
of age. He was among the first emigrants
to California, and by his untiring industry
soon amassed an immense fortune. He
expects to endow an orphan asylum in
San Francisco, and it is believed that if his
donation to Chicago is properly sustained
and encouraged by home liberality, that
the fund will be greatly increased. Like
most Californians, he is one of the
shrewdest, sharpest, most enterprising of
men, and he has furnished splendid ex-
ample of liberality to those of our rich
men who wish to use their money wisely,
and leave name among the benefactors
of the race.-Chicaqo Times.

head came In contact with the spout of
the water tank, knocking him from the
car to the track, when several cars passed
over him, killing him instantly. He was
riding with bis back to the spout. and was
in the regular and faithful discharge of
his duties. The spout which occasioned
the accident was so rugged that it could
not be raised high enough to clear n
mans head while standing, as Macy was
doing, on the top of a box car. Imme-
diately after the accident the company
changed the equipment Of the spout SO as
to throw it back against the tank when
not in use.
There was testimony that both Macy
and the company knew Of the dangerous
condition of the spout, but it was evident
that Macy was not in a situation to recall
this knowledg e--his mind being absorbed
in the duty he was at the moment dis.
