WnE%I: IS MOUNT SINAI Pit has
lorg since been study and wonder
among biblical students as to where
Mount Sinai was. At recent soien-
tific meeting in England, evidence
was furnished to show that this noun
tain was no other than the one now
known. as Gebcl Musa. Here fine
cliff fronts an extensive pain, in
every way an wcring to the require
ments Of the sacred narrative. The
tradition of tho country points to a
still higher peak in a portion of the
mountain hidden from the plain, as
the scene of the Delivery of the Law,
while tho topography Of the place
points to the cliff before mentioned
as the scene of the proclamation. Ac:
cording to writings and drawing. fur
nished, Gebel Musa is the highest pin
nacle of the many which form the
mountain Of Sinai, it is the only one
which has any traditional claims
upon the faith Of pilgrims, and upon
IL are built a Christian chapel and a
Moham medan mosque. ..~

Theirs rs Dictator.

NEW YORK, September 6.-The Paris cor
respondent Of the London Ielegr'dDh of
August % says: 1--WE had yesterday by far
the most exciting scene in the Assembly
that | have witnessed since the deputies
met in February last. Question was disso-
lutiOn of the national guard. NJ. Meux
made an excellent and practical speech,
very cOnciliat6ry, but not sparing plain
truth when it mad to be told After
Vicomte Meux, rose Theirs, who never be-
fore, in my opinion, appeared at such an
immense disadvantage. From the very
first he went dead against majority, and
certainly two-thirds of the chamber, and
almost without deigning to offer any arg1l-
ment in favor of his own views, he stated
broadly that the executive alone was Judge
as to when or how or where or in what
measure the national guard should be dis
armed. He was at first almost hooted
down, and retorted by telling the right
centre and left centre that if they did not
respect themselves, they ought to respect a
man whom they had placed as chief Of the
executive department. This deplorable ex-
bibition ended by the curt declaration on
the part of Theirs, that if the Assembly did
not on his question vote as he wished, he
would at once resign his position. That a
man of Theirs parliamentary experience
would even dare to transgress in such a
way the first rules of a constitutional gov
ernment, seems alike incredible and incom-
prehensible.
If the Assembly could have tanely taken
such fOgging, and, like so many naughty
children, submit to be put in corner, and

The Revere Railroad HOrrOr-Indigna.
ton Meeting,
From the New York Times.

Boston, September 5.-The Indignation
meeting at Lynn tonight, On the Revere
disaster. was attended by great crowd.
Mayor Walden presided the most promi-
nent citizens Of the place made speeches
and long series OF resolutions were
adopted.
Tie latter declare that railroad corpora
tons, having certain powers and privileges
granted them 10y law, are nevertheless the
servants Of the people, and bound by the
most solemn obligations TO provide every
thing needtul for the safety and convent
ence of passengers: that this painful event
demonstrates the necessity for a radical
change in the present railroad system, and
it IS therefore demanded that no desire for
dividends or profits shall be permitted TO
prevent the immediate use on the Eastern
railroad of the best appliances Of modern
invention for stopping and controlling
trains, or for the transmission OF intorma-
tiOn between trains and stations.
They further demand q thorough and
impartial investigation Of the recent disaster
that Justice may be done; though convinced
that whoever Of the subordinates may have
been most criminally negligent, the man
agement are very highly responsible for
this dreadful catastrophe.
A committee of eleven OF the leading
citizens was appointed to 20 before the
president and directors of the road, and
urge the immediate making Of the neces-
sary Improvements. etc, and, if desirable,
10 appear before the railroad commission
ers and the Legislature in pursuance of this
object.
The principal speech Of the meeting was
made by eX-COngressman John B. Allen.
He spoke in strong terms of what he calls
the negligence and parsimony Of the man
ayers of the Eastern railroad. and stated
that he considered these the prime causes
of the disaster.
