adjective in this connection, we under. !
stand objections have been thick and fast,
the would.be critics saying that Sacred
ought to have been the word, Now We
have no disposition to quarrel, as wo do
not write for the oraogcbufg News to
please the fcw. But when such ridicu-
5lous objections as the ono noted are
urged against our writings, we cannot
forbear giving them passing notice,
and to show of all the y
Shameless editors we have, yet tbs true,
There are as bad abandoned critics too
Now we said Religious Concert" and
we meant just what we said and we
will venture to assert that every person
possessed with three grains of common
"mot.ier wit" will say that We were cor
rect. Now Sacred" might have been
sweeter togeupbopy with tho few, but
that would not have made it any more
correct than the term religious"
But We will let Webster settle the
matter. He says religious means any
thing "coaccrac2 ,oiM religion; teaching
or sst.iay .forth religion set apart to re-
figi"n as e religious society religious
sect /; a religious place; religions ,cars,
etc. Sacred he diincs 'sas not profitne
or common; as, a sacred pdrcc sacred
dag ; sacred service, etc.
If this doesn't show that the two
terms are Synonymous, then VIC don't
Know what synonyms are. If it is
correct to say u religious society, re-
ligions place, religious wars, &C., it is
equally correct to Say n Religious Con-
cert, the only difference of the two words
depending altogether upon euphony
On the other hand, it is equally correct
to say Sacred Concert; but how in the

Finger Calculation.

A correspondent of the London Athe-
raeuna says The reference of Prof. De
Morgan to the employment of the
fingers for the purposes of notation in
duces me to speak of the very ingenious
application, in China, of this living aba
Gus to arithmetical calculation, of the
faculty it gives for the settlement of ac-
counts, and the easy solution of all
sums, whether of addition, subtraction,
multiplication or division, from one up
to hundred thousand. Every finger
on the left hand represents nine figures
the little finger the units, the ring
finger the tens, the middle finer the
hundreds, the forefnger the thousands,
the thumb the tens of thousands. The
three inner joints represent from l to
s, the three outer 4 to 6, the right side
= to 9. The forefnger on the right
hand is employed for pointing to the
figure to be called into use; thus, ,234
would at once be denoted by just touch
ing the inside of the upper joint of the
forefnger, representing 1000; then the
inside of the second, or middle joint of
the middle finger, representing 200;
thirdly, the inside of the lower joint of
the ring finger, representing 30; and
lastly, the upper joint of the little finger
touched on the outside, representing 4.
Or, again, 9,999 would be represented
by touching the side of the lower joint
of the thumb 10000, and the lower side
of the joint of the fore, middle, and the
little fingers, representing respectively
5000, 900, 80, and 9. The universal
correctness of the accountancy of China,
when there is no purpose of fraud, and
the rapidity with which all trading and
commercial accounts are calculated, are
facts of, notoriety to all who have any
acquaintance with purchases or sales
made in that country -'5' ,".-

Years rolled on, and all went well un-
| till, one night, vessel was driven by
foul weather upon the coast. The crew
were of q race unknown to to the Au-
gians fierce, bold and reckless. Heller
bade them welcome and provided them
with food and shelter. One of their
number was sick with dangerous fever
when they landed Heller took COM
passion on him, nursed him with his
own hand, laid him on his own bed, and
watched over him with a fathers ton

he watched with greedy eyes the valua-
bles which lay about, and then, un-
moved by gratitude or duty, unmindful
of Helier's kindness, he told his COM
rades of the treasures he had seen.
Late one night the Augians were arous-
ed from their sleep by strange cries; and
as they gazed about them, lights were
flashing on Samarack, and cries and
shrieks filed the air, The peaceful in
habitants, unused to such scenes, fled to
the hills. Terror-stricken, they clung
to each other; while through the night
strange sounds were heard the land
trembled under them, the hills shook to
their very foundations. L+i
When day at length broke, a strange
sight met their eyes. They saw Samar-
aclo rent in twain, and a boiling sea
covered what once were meadows; the
strange ship was gone, their hamlets too
had disappeared. With trembling feet
they hastened to the shore, and pushed
off in a boat towards Samarack as they
approached the rock they called upon
Heller. Eagerly they stretched their
ears to catch reply, but none was given;
again, they called, but in vain. With
heavy hearts they hastily climed the
rock and pressed forward to the hut.
They opened the door, but started back
with a cry of horror and sorrow. There,

Palace Car. on Street Railroads.

The Third Avenue Street Railroad
Company is building specimen palace
car, and proposes to place it upon the
line, whether the bill on the subject,
which is now before the Legislature,
passes or not. If the bill does not pass,
the car will be kept subject to charter
for excursions. The view of President
Robert Squires ON the subject is as fol-
lows: "There are great many people
who would like extra accommodations
on the street railroads. We will furnish
them. It will involve an expense of
about 100000 to build twenty or twenty
FIVE palace ears: We propose, to have
them of the same general style as those
on the Hudson River and Central Rail
roads, They will be earpeted and fitted
with revolving chairs, ice water, and
everything else that is necessary to make
them perfect. Every passenger, as
matter of course, will have seat to him.
self, and nobody will be admitted into
the car after all the seats. are occupied,
consequently there will be no crowding,
and none of the inconveniences which
unayoidably exist now on the ordinary
street car. Provision will be made for.
thirty passengers IN each car. Care will
be taken to provide against accidents.
There will be one entrance to the car
IndI Will De at tne rear, anu Une sIep Dy
which to get on will be closed when the
door is shut. OF coursewe could not run
these palace cars from Harlem to the
City Han for the ordinary rate of fare,
which, with thirty passengers at six
cents each, would be only Sl.80. So
we propose to charge ten cents in addi-
ton to. the regulAr fare, In winter we
run 1S6 cars daily, and IN summer 200.
A car leaves the, depot, every. minute.
Thus we have a earbpposite every block

These palace cars will in no way inter
fere with the others. There will be one

EARTHoUAKEs.- An interesting COM
mnnication has recently appeared in the
Boston Journal, giving the dates of the
earthquakes that have occurred within
the last two years. The writer says that
of great and terribly destructive earth
quakes only one each year have been
registered as happening from 1900 to
1865. In 1867 and 1868, no less than eleven
disastrous earthquakes, involving the
loss of one hundred thousand human
beings, are reported. In 1869 and 1870
TWENTY-FIVE serious earthquakes occurred,
but were not attended with as destruc-
tive effects as those of the previous two
years. These facts, it is argued, show
that the earth has been passing through
a period of terrestrial phenomena more
remarkable than any which mas been
witnessed by the present generation, and
that it is by no means certain that the
end of the earthquake term has been
reached. The writer states that in the
absence of any well established theory
of the internal structure OF the earth,
there is increasing evidence for regard
inc favorably the generally accepted
belief that the earth's interior is a fiery,
molten mass. This latter theory, it is
argued, is the only one that fairly
accounts for all the varied phenomena
of earthquakes as felt on the earth's
surface. The opinion is also advocated
that the great shocks of 1867 and 1868
were caused by the breaking off of inn
mense masses of solid earth from the
inner crust. which, falling into the. boil
ing lava below, agitated it into gigantic
throbbing and rolling waves that heaved
the Je1ter crust with great throbs and
tbfoes. -H

BREAKING CAR WHEELS AND AxLEs.-
The scientific men on the other side of
the ocean, who are Investigating the
causes of railway accidents from the
breaking of car axles and wheels, have
reached results altogether contrary to
the generally received opinion. DIR.
Joule, Sir w. Fairbairn, and Mr.. Spence,
all of whom have given q great deal of
attention to the subject, declare that
cold and frost, so far from increasing
the brittleness of iron or steel, render
them more elastic. Mr. Spence submit
ted cast iron at sixty degrees Fahren-
heit and the same pieces at zero to a
practical trial, and found the resistance
greater at the lower temperature. Sir
w. Fairbairn finds that change of tenn
perature makes little or no difference
in the strength of wrought iron, and
DR.. Joule says that if there is a differ
ence it is in favor of the lower tempera-
ture. The last named Investigator says
that the accidents from broken axles
arise, not by the changes of tempera-
ture,. but from the neglect of railway
companies to submit wheels, axles and
all other parts of the rolling stock to
practical and sufficient test before using
them. Sir William Fairbairn believes
that the danger of broken tires arises
| from the practice of heating them to a
dull red heat and shrinking them on to
the rim of the wheels, instead of turn
ing the rim of the wheel and the inside
of the tire to standard gauge, accu-
rately calculated to; give the required
amount of tightness with q large margin
of strength. The error seems to. have
arisen from the fact that several acci-
dents of this nature have occurred dur
ing uery cold weather. ,. r.-.r.
ADRIAN's VILLA For SALE.-A5 dron
advertisement has appeared lately.
! Adrian's villa has been offered for sale,
not as a ruin of Worldwide fame, but as
an ordinary olive orchard and vineyerd;
and the price asked is simply the prin-
cipal of the interest which the products,
wine and oil, bring. 1t is divided into
two parts; the first comprises the farm
and casino; on this are the beautiful
| expresses, contemporaneous with Had
rian Under their shade may have
walked that beautiful, naughty but
clever woman, his empress and wife, Sa-
bina, to whom he owed his greatness,
and who, like Adrian's favorite Anti
nous, sought death at her own hands, so
| bored were they with the pedant empe-
ror. These famous old expresses are
counted as nothing in the sale. Four
teen thousand scudi is asked for the
first division. The second part COM
prises the ruins of the toy antiquities of
the dull, conceited monarch-the vale
of Tempe, &c-and Duke Braschi, the
owner of the famous place, in which
were found the most celebrated bits of
sculpture known to us moderns, asks
the price of 1000 scudi for the second
part-1S,OOO scudi only in all.-Roms

Chicago is in a muddle about her parks.
The Park Commissioners have used up all
their money and have not paid for the land,
and are besieging the Legislature for power
to raise more to enable them to complete the
purchase according to law. They were en-
powered to assess contiguous property, under
the name of " benefit" to a sufficient amount
to pay for the condemned land, and thought
they had done so, but the enhanced value of
the property taken leaves them in the voca4
tive, and now they want authority to revise
and increase their original assessments.

him, but as these proceedings would not restore
Moore his money, Williams was advised to give

dollars, and doing so, the case was dismissed,
and both the arrested parties discharged.
