Accounts come by cable to the Amer
lean press association exclusively, that
the ancient city of Antioch, in Syria,
has been destroyed by an earthquake,
more than fifteen hundred people be-
ing instantly killed. Full details of
the disaster will be awaited with pain
full interest. Our own continent has
lately experienced some severe earth
quake shocks and the people of the
Pacific coast are living in daily appre-
hension of disaster. The volcano of
Colima, in southern Mexico, which has
for many years been quiet, has again
burst forth, and this may or may not
have some connection with the commo-
ton in California. The generally re-
ceived theory in regard to earthquakes
is, that they are created by the gases
generated in the interior Of the earth
trying to escape through the crust of
the carth's surface; and the volcano is
but species of natural escape valve,
through which this dangerous power
finds an outlet. Naples, for instance,
with Eesuvius flaming by its side, new
er experiences earthquake shocks, but
Lisbon, near which there is no friendly
volcano, has suffered beyond any other
city in Europe.

Let the business of every one alone
and attend to your own. DO not buy
what you don't want. Use every hour
TO advantage, and study to make Il
leisure hour useful. Look over your
books regularly. Ifa stroke of misfor-
tune comes upon your business, re-
trench, work harder, but never fly the
track. Confront difficulties with un-
tiinching perseverance, and you will be
honored; but shirk and you will be
dispised. Seek to acquire the power of
continuous application, without which
you cannot expect success. If you do
this, you will be able to perceive the
difference which it creates between you
and those who have not such habits.
You will not count yourself, nor will
they count you as one Of them. Thus
you will find yourself emerging into
the higher regions Of intellectual and
earnest men-men who are capable Of
making place for themselves, instead of
idly gaping, desiring q place.

Arrangement Of ssUncIe Horace p,

Why is it, Mr.. Editor, that our friend Gree
ley is no longer called Honest Horace, but
Doctor Greeley-doctor of what, should be
be glad to know-or the Sage of Chappaqua
or the Philos0pher-and at last Uncle Hor-
ace-why not call him Daddy Greeley or
Granny Greeley, if they are afraid to call him
honest, and have done with it?
But let us see what his alleged honesty
means. A plain dealing man ought to be
plain of speech. Honest men are not much
given to shutting or equivocation, subterfuge
or evasion.
He is charged with being in favor of pen
sioning rebel soldiers. The whole country is
ringing with the accusation, and he is called
upon from all quarters to answer the charge
And what is the answer?
mo Southern man has asked pledge re-
specting the rebel debt; and no Southern man
-aoho could be elected to the legislatme-has
ever suggested the pensioaing of rebel SOL
diers."
And this, they-the worshippers of Honest
Horace Greeley-call an answer!
Every word of this might be true, and yet
''Uncle Horace" might be in favor Of pension
ing rebel soldiers.
Are we to be put off with such miserable
fooling at time like thisp
The question was very simple and direct.
1t was not-"Has any Southern man ever
asked Of you pledge respecting the rebel
debtP' nor has any Southern man-arho
could be elected to the Le0isl0fure l-sup-
gested the pensioning of rebel soldiers ?''
But suppose Northern manor a multi
tude of Northern men, or of Western men.
or of Eastern men had suggested these mag
unanimous and conciliatory measures, what
then?
Or suppose Southern man had suggested
payment of the rebel debt without asking
pledge would that have msnded the matter?
or have answered the question?
Or suppose Southern manor any num-
Der of Southern men-eho could not hare
been elected to the Legislature had sug-
gested the pensioning of rebel soldiers, what
has that to do with the question: And what
would be the worth of denial, as it is
called-a positioe and emphatic denial
couched in such language2
For one, 1 am not disposed to let honest
Uncle Horace escape in this way.
Do you understand German, my dear?
Answer. l have brother who is very fond.
uery, of German sausages, and a sister who
has been to Saratoga, or gone over the Falls.

Political Notes.

Maine will be better represented in the
straight-out G Invention ut Louisville than it
was in the Cincinnati Conclavc. We hear of
five prominent ''hard-shells" who have agreed
to go.
Democrats think it little "steep'' to have
to pay Schurz 5000 every time to tell them
that their party is dead.
Advices from the West are to the effect
that the Greeley movement is even weaker
in that section than here in New England.
That sire" which Greeley orators predicted
would ''sweep across the prairies' has never
been khdled, nor can it be for lack Of ma
terial.
The Toledo Blade says the question now is,
'will Greeley withdraw when O'Conor gets
fairly into the field2 The poor old man is
doomed to fearful defeat anyhow, and with
O'Conor in the fight he will not carry single
State.
The straight Democratic movement gains
in strength daily. There is, in view of it,
some reason to believe, with a contemporary,
that our heaviest fight will, in short time,
be with O'Conor, Greeey being distanced.
Hon. Samuel E. Sewall, another of the
"old-guard' anti-slavery men, shows his
views of the present contest by accepting the
Presidency of the Melrose Grant and Wilson
Club.
Messrs. 81. r. Rich, R. H. Rich and
Charles Donnell of West Bath, whose names

How JUDGE BARNARD FEELS ABOUT HIS I'M
PFAcHMKNT.-"E Perkins thus describe,
Judge Barnard's conduct after the verdict of
impeachment against him by the Saratoga
Court: -.
Yesterday had quite a talk with Judge Bar
nard at the Grand Union, after his disfranchise-
ment at the Impeachment Court. The ,Judpe
was sad but plucky. He considered the vote
DISTINGUISHING him a partisan one, and to this
many of his friends agree
Does this disfranchise you in any other
State?' / asked.
mo, only in New York, replied the Judge
docs it prevent you from practicing your
profession?'
"Yes. A lawyer is sworn in as an officer of
the court, and can hold no public office in this
State
At this point Judge Rapello came ND to the
Judge to shake hands. AS he held out his
hand Judge Barnard turned his piercing black
eyes upon him and said
Will you do me one favor, Judge Rapello?'
Yes; what is it?"
"Well, never speak to me or recognize me
again as long as you liver and Judge Barnard
turned his back on him.
Pretty soon Senator Palmer came up to shake
hands.
The Judge looked straight in his face and
said:
Senator Palmer, you are dying with the
consumption. You have voted the bread from
my chlldren's mouths and now YOU would
shake hands with me. No, sir; you've got but
few months to live, but you eau die without
making peace with me-"
Judge Grover came up and got similar shot
