tes taste for them not to find fault with
our peculiar earthquakes unless they
! furnish better les Here's what
the New York World has to say In the
matter: 1.-The people of San Fran
cisco who are peculiarly addicted to
earthquakes have just had another
exciting shake. As in former cases,
the entire population rushed into the
streets, the better to View the expected
destruction of the buildings /; and in
one instance a congregation assembled
to celebrate a funeral, abandoned the
corpse, and, headed by the pastor,
hastily left the church In search Of
more exciting cenes These Califor-
MIA earthquakes are doubtless genuine,
but they never answer the popular ex-
pectation of what a really imposing
earthquake ought to be. They are ac-
companisd by none Of the shaking
down and swallowing up Of houses
which have characterized important
earthquakes even in the effete mon
arches of Southern Europe. Unless
San Francisco can do something more
noteworthy in the line Of earthquakes,
it had better abandon them altogether,
and save the expense and trouble Of tel
egraphing the steretyped news Of sano-
ther earthquake In San Francisco; no
damage DONE"

weather liable to be mixed, cocktail
style, you know. Sat up most all last
night waiting. for the moor to come in
conjunction with upper end of tele-
scope find it to be q dry moon. Bad
time to plant yams. Jupiter is about
crossing the diaphragm. Saturn has a
large ring (moss agate around his LETT
eye, from a recent collision with Mars.
Mercury will remain In n state of blue
mass until Lent is over. "a vagrant
goat gotinto the telescope Sunday night,
which l mistook for Capricornus, and
got things a little mixed, but the Town
Council have got the rascal Ia the

in addition, that all Of the Professors

There was a very good and fashionable
attendance last evening, and the great
wizard, Hermann, never was more
attentively and approximately OBJ
served. He fully justifies the high n
coniums which have been unanimously
bestowed upon him by the press every
where, for indeed he Is chief of all In
his line. His tricks r all original
with himself, and the same may be
said Of his style. And such strange
tricks, too. Just think of a man pull
ing a little live canary bird to pieces
before your eyes, making three Of him,
putting those three into a little glass
box, holding 1t up in his hand, and
making the little warblers suddenly
appear lively as crickets in a plain
cage Is feet distant, held by an assist
ant in the parquette-a cage you are
looking directly into us the birds APP
pear. He gives an entirely new and
equally good entertainment every
evening, as may be seen by reference
to distributed programmes. w r, 20
