Acting Secretary Richardson says to-day that
the use of 81 600, 900 of the greenback reserve

$40,0 900, leaving only about $5,O00,000 yet
ry to reduce within the next two weeks the cur
rency to the lowest limit authorized by law,
viz. 1856, 100000, and this will, of course, ne
cessitate the restoration of the $40, 100000 of

The HORSE EPIDEMIC is truly appalling
By its wide spread over the land for thousands
of miles, it does appear to the minds of many
rs being ehastsement from an overruling
Providence, for the great amount of inhuman
and cruel treatment that has been practiced
upon those valuable animals
No doubt this terrible calamity is su ffered to
occur, to teach man how to appreciate one of

THE SPEcTRosCoPE.-The fifth lecture in
Professor Brackets course heat light and
electricity, was delivered at Music Hall last
evening to goodly audience, considering the
state of the weather. The subject of the lee
ture was the Spectroscope and the revelations
regarding the physical structure of the universe
whichit has brought to us. The Professor
analysed the various colored rays of the solar
spectrum and showed the different steps by
| which scientists wereled to the audacious gen.
eralizaJion that the sun is in the main formed
of the same elements as the planet in which we
live. The discussion of his subject led him to
touch upon and indeed to dwell upon at some
length, those allied forms of motion, heat, light
and actinism, which are found in the solar
beam. He then proceeded to elucidate the
somewhat complex matter of Frauenhofer's lines
and their connection with molecular motion
demonstrating that the prism is the key to the
study of cosmogony
The lecture was an able one and garnished by
wealth of diction and copious illustrations;
but his illustrations, clothed in technical lam
guage, needed in their turn to be illustrated, adj
dressed as they were to al unscentifc audience.
The lecture was numbered, too, by mass of
details fatiguing to the memory and scarcely
necessary to clear elucidation of the subject
In this busy age we ask for results, scarcely
caring for the means by which they are reach
ed. He is apt to take sudden skip from one
branch of his subject to another, the less agile
mind of his audience finding it difficult to follow
In the next lecture of the course Prof. Brack-
EFT will conclude the subject of spectrum analy-
sis, and take up polarized light heat, and the
conservation of energy, for the correct under
standing of which latter subject we are indebt-
ed to the untiring industry and matchless
genius of Michael Faraday. At the present
time, when the world seems about to turn back
to the old sun-worsffp of the East, the result of
the latest Investigations of the nature of the
great source of light and heat cannot fail to in
terest us all; and the great knowledge of the
subject which Professor Bracket brings to
bear will open to very many new avenues Of
knowledge by which they cannot fail to profit.
