A Scientist Who Braved Vesuvius.

A London paper says: 1t is hardly
an exaggeration TO say that the "atti-
tude' Of Sig. Palmieri-cool and res.
olutein his Vesuvan post--like "Ten-
criffe or Atlas unremoved"--attract,
the admiration of Europe. II is no
Joke TO remain while everybody else is
fyiny--to watch the lava advancing
all apund the little crest on the side
of tho mountain on which his Obser.
vato'y is placed, and there, as Words
wortb says, "to feel the pulse of the
machine" tho big monster Of natural
mechanism and force that sends its
thros through the foundations of the
building, and salutes its scientific
frioni ever and anon with shower
of burning ashes and fiery stones. In
deed the Professors courage has done
iniusice to another of his rare quail
ties, br it has thrown into tho shade
his pwer of scientific provision. Full
ly a nonth before the agreeable show.
ers o, red hot ashes saluted him in his
Observatory, he had discerned that
his slutonic friends meditated mis-
chief During the previous full moon
no hid remarked in the Atrio del Cav
allo that tho lava was boiling up
Whom the moon again reached the full
tho stream, which acts as perman
cht waste pipe, perccptibly enlarged
its volume. 1t overflowed anew the
foolpath which visitors, in ascending
and descending, had worn in the old
bed of lava. By these indications
Professor Palmieri read beforehand
the dangerous task which Vulcan was
preparing for him. With his life IN
his hand, he established himself in The
midst Of circle Of craters. Obscrv
ing their cccentrici.ics as calmly rs
hc might have watched tho harmless
movements of planet, no has, nt
doubt, collected a mass OF volcanic
data far exceeding, in scientific value

Mischievous Nonsense.

Something very like Jacobinism OF
the rankest kind protruded itself al
tho meeting Of the Massachusetts, so.
called Labor Union, Tuesday night.
They not only pitched into the "ty.
rant capital" but some of them thought
it would be good thing to get rid OF
the Christian Church, as if 1t was an
institution that had had its day, and
was now only stumbling block in
the rosy path of modern progress.
Jesse IL. Jones, Of Abingdon, spoke
of the relations Of the Christian
Church to the labor question. Ma
terial pay for spiritual exertion was q
lie. The Church being wealthy should
materially help the laborer, who was
poor-the average of his occupation
being beyond the hope of ever owning
the house he lived in. He was used
up by his ten hours factory work, and
had little energy left to lift himself
out of his position. The laborer was
the "certain man" spoken of in the
parable "who fell among thieves,
and the Church. which should prove
his good. sometimes proved rccreant
The war between capitalists would
soon lead to q general war between
labor and capitai, and peace was only
noss;ble through an honest Church
The Church instead of regeneration
for the individual, should dovote it,
energics 10 The reform of communities
Its dntv was to do business for Tho
wogcd Iaborer without material nav.
This is n new idea. "Thc duty o
tho Church is to do business for th,
wared laborer without pay" 1t never
seems TO have entered the head O
this nbilosonher that ministers of th,
Gosnol who arc an essential part o
cha church D must eat and drink
must be clothed and housed, just lik,
other human beings, and if they mus

How PRESIDENT IS ELEcTED.---
Each of the United States is entitled
to as many electors of President aud
Vice President as il has Senators and
Representatives in Congress. In each
State tho electors are chosen by d
plurality vote. That is, If there are
three sets Of electors voted for, the
set having the highest number of vo-
ters is chosen. But candidate for
President, in order 10 be successful,
must have q majority of all tho cleo.
tors. The electoral college, as now
constituted, consists of 8l7. There
fore 159 are necessary for o choice.
If there be three candidates for Presi-
dent and neither of them receives a
majority of tho electoral college, then
therc is no choice, and the election
COOS to the House of Representatives.
The House must confine their choice
to the three highest candidates voted
for by the electors. The Representa-
tives vote by States, and each State
has but ono vote so that tho power
of Delaware is as great rs Tint OF
Now York. Each State has ono vote.
The majority Of the State delegation
casts its vote. A candidate TO be sue
cessful, must receive majority Of oil
the States, or nineteen States. If tho
delegation is divided, the vote of the
State cannot be cast, and is therefore
lost. As tho present House is constI-
tuted, and it is upon this House tho
election will devolve in tho. event
there is no election by tho people,
nominally the Republicans hold twon'
ty States but its majesty in ton
Of these It holds by ono single vote.
Should there be third candidate
there would be no choice found in two
of these ten States.
