The SERENITY OF THE DYING.-It has so
happened that have seen many men and
women die. Without design or disposition
on my part, have very many times cen
present when sick persons were ebbing to
eternity. have seen men and women, old
and young, cultivated and ignorant, ortho-
dox and heterodox, in their last moments:
and, as rule. all of them passed away, If
not without regret, at least with entire resig-
nation. None of them showed dread of the
future Their thoughts were fixed on what
they were quitting not on what they were
going to. / observed that some Of them
were troubled, perhaps distressed, when they
first thought they could not recover, but that
the nearer their end came the less apprehen-
sfve and the calmer they grew. Having once
banished hope, tranquility seemed to descend
upon them as a substitute, and afterward, if
free from physical pain, there was unrufled
peace. If encouraged to believe they might
get well, or if they had favorable turn, the
old anxiety, with something of the former ap-
prehension, reappeared; proving that their
mental disquietude was born of their expecta-
ton of life, not of their fear of death. Thus
was established clear analogy between ma
terial and spiritual anguish under the same
circumstances. As we have seen, they who
are badly hurt, or seriously i'll, experience
suffering in going back to life, while the
downward path TO death. both for the body
and the soul, lis paved with smoothness and
serenity.-Gdtaxy for Nouember.

What a Lancashire Editor Thinks About
the Alabama Claims-A Pill for Laird
Il Go.
From the WARRINGTON Guardian.

From the Warrington Guardian.
The Alabama claims are certified by the
Geneva Conference to be three and quarter
millions ofpounds sterling, equal to two-pence
IN pound of income tax, or half a
crown Tor every inhabitant of the United
IHae1oni Iue~ oI Great Britain and Ireland. What
uoes Mr. Lard now think of his ENTERPRISE I'm
trying to turn an honest penny bv building
AiaDamas? What do our red-hot Southern
sympathiZers Conservative and Liberal
think? An able dissectoI of human ,notivas
we trust, will some day soon write the news,
paper history Of the English press during the
four eventful years OF the American war. and
show, II ne can, now lt came to pass that ev-
cry newspaper in London, save the Daily
Neacs and Spectator, and almost every one in
the provinces, save the Leeds Mercury Man
chester Examiner, Liverpool Daily Post, and
ourselves, cheered ON the slave States and Mr.
Laird,
We have often had recourse to the two vol
umes by Captain Semmes, giving an ac
count of the depredations of his ill-starred yes
sci, and wondered at the infatuation of an evil
dentlypious man burning vessel after vessel be
longing to private traders, and, giving
God thanks. Nodoubt he had the idea that he
was doing the South, his native portion of
the American Republic, some service
But no such plea can be put in by Mr.
Laird as an excuse for the ill-blood which he
produced between us and the United States,
almost causing war. certainly bringing on u
n-nic, in which hundreds were ruined and
hnally, mulcting us in sum equal to the
cost of a day school in 1880 paris hes, each
costing $4,000. This is the way to measure
our damages. The Americans, however, are
welcome to their three and q quarter mill
ions, and Mr.. Laird to the bargain.
The sum OF three and quarter millions
will no doubt be extracted from the pockets
OF the income tax payers by adding to the in
come tax, or not reducing it, and while it is
but two and six-pence per head of the popu-
fation, it will be nearly a five pound note to
a man with an income of $500 year. But
though bemoaning this increase, and hoping
that in future it will be penal to build war
ships for any Power, whether at peace with
us just then or not, we cannot but compare
the present revenue of our country with that
OF 240 years ago. At the time our forefathers
were fighting Charles /, the revenue was uu-
der halt million a year. Now it is 40
times that amount, and fine nearly eIual to
the income of England in the days of the
Stuarts may be now paid out of the surplus of
one year.

MADAME LUCCAs HUsBAND.-Reports in
the journals of Berlin, New York, and other
cities, regarding the relations existing be-
tween Madame Pauline Lucca and her hus-
band are very contradictory. The Home
Journal, of New York which never speaks
without good authority, settles the question in
the following paragraph:
Baron Won Rhaden, the husband of Ma
dame Lucca, "a distinguished military officer in
the Austrian service, has obtained leave OF
ABSENCE from his Government, and will JOIN
ms wife in New York early in December.
MaJame Lucca is impatient for the arrivai Oh
her spouse, and speaks of him in very loving
terms, describing him as a man OF niiii,aly
bearing, fine physique, and hanosone iea-

Prof. Muller, in course of lectures in Ber-
lin, offered a simple and me chanical explana-
ton of the universal admiration bestowed on
circles. The eye is moved in its socket by
six muscles, of which four are respectively
employed to raise, depress, turn to the right
and to the left. The other two have an ac-
tion contrary to each other, and roll the eye
on its axis, or from the outside downward
and inside upward. When, therefore, an OBJ
ject is presented for inspection, the first act
is that of circumcision or going round the
boundary lines, so as to bring consecutively
every individual portion of the circumference
upon the most sensitive and delicate portion
Of the retina. Now, if figures bounded by
straight lines be presented for inspection, it
is obvious that but two of these muscles can
be called into action; and it is equally evident
that in curves of circle or ellipse all must
alternately be brought into action. The eff
feet then is thai if two only be employed, as
in rectilinear fglres, those two have an un-
due share of labor, and by repeating the ex-
pertinent frequently, as we do in childhood,
the notion of tedium is instlled, dstasts
for straight lines is gradually formed, and we
are led to prefer those curves which supply a
more general and equable share of work to
the muscles. es e ee7 sa

A terrible affair occurred in Savannah,
Ga, on the 18th inst. Alexander Dillon,
son of David r. Dillon, banker, entered his
fathers office pale and apparently laboring
under great mental excitement, and went
into the back room Of his Office, where his
father transacts his private business. On
seeing him, the father began to rcprimand
him in very severe and harsh manner.
The young man swore that he would not put
up with the language his father had used on
aprevious occasion, and in the excitement of
the moment drew a pistol and fired three
times at his father-all three balls taking ef-
feet, one in the right arm, another in the
head, and the third in the thigh. After com
mitting this act he shot himself in the breast.
He was then taken into the adjoining room,
where he expired in about twenty minutes.
The wounds inflicted on the father are not
of dangerous character; but there is no
doubt that the son thought he had killed his
father, and concluded to end his own life.

Chicago TO Danve, 1872 Mes) was finished last year,
and its gross earnings have increased from $3464 OF
m December, 1871, to S57 ,5s7 95 in August 1872.
The net earnings for August were $3o4l2 46, or at
the rate OF S364049 81 per The total inter-

equipment of twenty-three frst-class locomotives
and about 700 cars.
