Eternal Lamps

st. Augustine described a lamp,
placed by the seashore, which neith-
er wind nor rain extinguished- In
the sepulchre of Tullia, the daugh-
ter of Cicero, was found . lamp,
supposed by Pancirollus and others
TO have burned allowed 1880 years.
Now the flames in such cases are
thought to have been caused by the
iufiammable airs so frequently gen
Grated in pits and caYerns, which IS
confirmed by q discovery in 175S on
the opening Of an ancient sepulchre
at Naplee.

SIGNS IN THE SKY.-During the.
war, in the South, certain supersti-
tious persons figured out from
phenomena in the clouds two ar
mics in hostile array, one of which
marched upon the other and drove
it, heller skelter, to the North. The
sign was accepted by them as proof
in advance of the success of the
Southern cause. A few nights ago,
during a brilliant display of the
aurora, one long bright stream of
light stood out along, assuming, ap-
parently, the shape of prodigious
pen. To wonder-lOving people of a
political turn this was suggestive
of the proverb that "the pen is
mightier than the sword" and "the
natural consequence" that Horace
Greeley is to be the next President.
But more amusing still, and just as
absurd, is the effort of Professor
Peters of the Litchfield (Connecti-
cut) Observatory, to extract from
the recent discovery of two new
| planets, of the asteriOd order, an
omen of two term President. 1t
is bad enough for anybody to be
guilty of such vagaries, but for a
! professional astronomer to turn
/ political fortune-teller is about one
of the hardest things that modern
intelligence can be called upon to
bear.-BdEtimOre Sun.

Drinking.

No man ever become a drunkard
lived a drunkards' life, died a
drunkard's death, and filed
drunkard's grave, as a matter free
choice. No one ever became an ex-
cessive Cirinker who did not begin
by habit of being a moderate very
moderate drinker. If it were the
habit of all not TO take the first step
and thus become moderate drinkers,
the unutterable horrors and woe,
the destitution and crime which re-
suit from this master evil of intem-
perance would cease. Wives and
children and communities would not
mourn over loved ones thus dishon-
ored and lost. But ii is the habit of
drinking becoming thelaw of their
being and of their daily life, the lack
of resisting power resulting from
this terrible thraldOm, the fever OF
habitual temptation and appetite
which causes that yearly death
march of sixty thousand of our peO-
pie to the saddest of all graves, fol-
| lowed as mourners by half million
of worse than widowed wives and
worse than orphaned children.

The population of Berlin in one

The velocity of electric wave
through the Atlantic cables has been
ascertained by Prof. Gould to be
from 1000 to 5000 miles per second.
Telegraph-wires upon poles in the
air conduct the eletric waves with q
velocity more than double this. 1t
is curious fact that the rapidity of
the transmission increases with the
distance between the wire and the
earth or with the height of the sup
port. The Journal des telegrdPhes
says that wires, placed on poles slight
ly elevated, transmit signals with a
velocity of l., 900 miles a second; and
those at a considerable height give a
velocity Of 5000 or 5000 miles.

THE CLOCK IN THE MAYORS
OFFICE AT NEW HAVEN.-A large
clock was purchased some two years
ago for the mayors office, in the
City Hall, and it appears to answer
all the wants of such an article.
The upper disk or face, which
marks the hours, also tells the days
of the week. Under this is q disk
with pointer that tells the month Of
the year and the day of the month
with satisfactory certainty. Moth
ing is ever required to be done to
the clock, except to wind 1T once a
week; and no matter whether the
months have tWenty-eight, thirty,
or thirty-one days, at just four min
utes before II O'Clock at midnight
the indicator makes a jump to the
exact figure. Leap year makes no
difference with the clock-the poin-
ter is alway right. 1t was some
where near the year 1S45 that the
| first attempts were made to con-
struct this kind of clock in Con-
necticut, and they were then made
by a man named Curtiss, of Glas-
! tonbury. The earlier time-pieces
were liable to require more or less
attentionfrom their owners, to start
the pointers right at the beginning
( of each month, and the clocks were
pretty expensive. The one in the
mayors Office cost between thirty
and forty dollars.-NeS0 HaUez

what Then!

When Philip de Neri, who, in the
sixteenth century, Tenounced the
hereditary honors eff Florentine no
bility. for the service of the living
God, was living in an Italian uni
versity, a young man ran TO hlm
with a face full of delight, and told
him he had come to the law school
of that place on account OF Its great
fame, and that he intended to spare
no pains or labor to get through his
studies as soon as possible.
Philip waited for his conclusion
with great patience, and then said:
'"Well, and when you have got
through your course of studies,
what do you mean to dor"
s'Then l shall take my Doctors
degree" answered the young man
7And them" asked Philip again.
"And then" continued the youth,
81 shall have a number of difficult
questions to manage, shall catch
peoples notice by my elOquence,
my zeal, my learning, my acuteness,
aud gain a great reputation"
"And then?" repeated the holy
man.
"And them" replied the youth,
"why, there can't be a question, l
shall be promoted to some high Of
flee or other. Besides, l shall make
money and grow rich"
"And then?" repeated Philip.
"And then" pursued the young
LAWYER, "then l shall be comfortably
and honorably situated in wealth
and dignity"
"And then?'' asked the holy man.
"And then" said the youth, "and
then-and then-then / shall die"
Here Philip raised his voice: "AND
WHAT THEM"
Whereupon the young man made
no answer, but cast down his head
and went away. The last "And
then" had, like lightning, pierced
his soul, and he could not get rid OF
it. Soon after, he fOrsook the law
and gave himself to the ministry OF
Christ, spending the remainder oi
his days in godly words and works,
Would it not be well to look TO
the end of the road we take, what
ever it be? Is it pleasure, or mirth,
or indulgence, or eXcess-fOllow il
to the end. Ask at every opening
scene, '0Nhat then?" Do not be de-
| luded.
An end will come-youth and
beauty, mirth and joy, fame and
honor, wealth and pOmp, riot and
hilarity, life and health, time and
opportunity, all must pass away
and "WHAT THEN ?"

Advertising.

One of the errors into which many old cs-
tablished business houses fall is that there is
40 necessity for advertising them. Such a
theory would have answered well enough half
a century since, but the day has gone by when
q business man can afford to rely upon the long
standing and responsibility Of his house. This
is a progressive age. Public opinion is made
up by what is printed in papers, whether it
be IN the form OF an editorial or an advertise
ment. A. T. Stewards magnificent store in
New York is perhaps as well known as any
other in the country, and yet, its entorprising
proprietor keeps himself continually before the
people, either by direct or indirect advertise
misunderstanding NelrS.

TO BUY CHEAP



Tie course of the SPIRIT Of jefferson, to use
the nildest term, is most able-especial-
ly is the above remark in place when the past
status and the present assumption Of that pa
per are considered. Before the war it stood in
the front to defend aud uphold democratic doc
triaes and usages and it processes to fight on
the same line now but, some how, its advice
is in opposition to the practice Of tie party
from time immemodal 1t was the frss paper
that gave out the note Of dissatisfaction at the
action Of the Parlersburg Convention-a reg
ularly elected and organized Democratic-Con
seryative body-wLich eliminated in Mr.. Ja
cob running as an Independent candidate for
Governor aud his election over Mr. Camden.
1t was lukewarm in its support Of Mr.. Wilson,
the regular nominee for State Senator by the
Martinsburg Convention, out Of which quasi
disafection lie has bceu defeated aud Mr..
Grantham elected. And, now, it presumes to
dictate to the Grafton Convention who it is to
nominate aud what it is to DO. [ take it for
granted that said Convention, representing the
entire district with the best light before them,
will select from the gentlemen named Tor the
position the most available and talented, aud
thus doing, it is the duty OF Democratic papers
and individuals to stand by it against the willy
foe. This giving out before hand what may
possibly be, in case so and So is done, is a very
good way to demoraliZe the forces the very
evil the Spirit deprecates. We have enough
of boilers and Independent candidates. 1t
plays into the hands of the enemy

Another Indian Outrage.

TOPEKA, Sept. 1.-The Commonwealth Of
to-day has the following startling news from
Colorado:
Fl. H. Stanley, Of Fort Larned, arrived
here last evening from Denver. Ho reports
that on Monday last government train, con-
sistius Of thirty-six mule-teams, loaded with
army supplies for Fort Lyon, was proceeding
along Dry Creek, between Carson City and
Fort Lyon, Colorado, under command of Steve
Bryan, the waggon-master; and while in the
valley of Dry Creek the train was mired IN deep
sand. While thus detained baud of two
hundred Arapahoe warriors uaGer command
Of their chief Little Raven, made an attack
which equals in outrage and ier0city anything
in the annals Of Iudjau massacre. The wagons
were burned aud all the contents that could he
carried OF were taken. The mules were run
ell, and fifteen men belonging to the train were
left wounded or dead on the bloody field
Mr. Bryan was skinned alive from head to
foot 10y the sayaSes. Fifteen other men are
missing, and they are supposed to have been
carried into captivity by the sayages.
The train was under escort Of Lieut.. McIar-
land Of the 9th L. S. Cavalry, with one hun
dred men, but being nine miles in the rear at
the time of the massacre no protection could be
afforded.
Mr.. Stanley was with the escort, and when
it arrived at the terrible scene the Indians were
just retiring over the hills beyond, whirliug
their tomahawks and shouting in mad glce
over their ilI-sotten plumber"
