EXPLOSION on THE SUI.

A Pillar Of Fire 90, 900 Niles High.
l4r. G. A. Young, the astronomer
s nd observer at the head OF the astro-
nOmical department of Dartmouth,
has communicated to the Boston
Journal Of Chemistry an interesting
paperOn an explosion of the sun, which
occurred about noon on the 9TH Of
September last.
There appeared an enormous pro-
tuberance of hydrogen cloud on the
eastern limb Of the sun, on the 6th
which remained until nOsn of the 9Th,
described as "a low, quiet-loOkiDg
cloud, not very dense or brilliant, nor
in any way remarkable except for its
size.n 1t was about 100000 miles
long by $4,000 miles high. The OBJ
server vas called at 1890, and return
ing in about half an hour found that
there had been grand disruption.
The whole thing had been blown to
shreds by some incOnceivabie upheav-
al. The air seemed to be filed with
debris; " a mass of detached fusifOrm
filaments" rapidly ascending. When
first noted after returning to the OBJ
servatiOn, some Of them had reached
q height Of nearly 100000 miles, con-
tnuing to rise with a motion almost
marked by the eye, until in ten min
dtes the uppermOst were more than
200, 900 miles from the solar surface.
The dlament gradually faded as
they rose, and at 11:15 only 3 few
filmy wisps, with some brighter
strsamers lower down, remained,
to mark the place. Dir. Young
noted near one end Of the cloud neb-
ulous mass similar 10 our terrestrial
cloud known as a thunder-hsad, which
represented a wonderful change. 1t
became active and developed into q
mass of rolling flame apparently,
crowded dcwn st first toward the sur
face Of the sun, then shot up pyramid
ally $1,000 miles in hight, when its
top was drawn out into long fjlaments
and threads which were curiousIy
rolled backwards and downwards like
the vOlutes Of an Ionic capital.
This faded away like the other, and
at 2:30 had disappeared, The whole
phenomenon had the appearance OF
an explosion beneath the extraOrdiua-
~ prominence, spending its force
mainly iH an upward direction, some
what outward in all directions, fol-
lowed by an thrush as though a
vacuum had been created.

New Kind Of Wan.

A wall, lately invented, is coming
into use in England, the advantages
claimed for. which are the very i'm
portant ones of nOn-absOrbency of
moisture, nOn-cOnductiOn of the heat,
economy of space, a washable surface,
and withal cheapncss. Over frame
work of strong cross wires, of about
one eighth of an inch thick, there is
woven, by a powerful pressure,
fibroUs matter, which saturated with
a solution that renders it fire-prOof.
It is then subjected to a very power
full pressure. a coating of light
Scott's cement is then put upon il
for inside facing, and Portland cement
for outside facing. BY this means
surfaces are made impeTmcable to
moisture, smooth, and easily washed
with water, thus saving the expense
of repeated lime-Washings. IT Is
formed into slabs in iron frames,
which are put together and closely
and securely fastened with bolts. The
slabs are from one and a half to four
inches thick. They are found to serve
as superior paneling for dividing
walls and partitions. Where space Is
of Importance, it has the advantage,
perhaps, over concrete walling IN
enabling a wall to be made OF not
more than one and half or two
inches in thickness, and yet its quaI-
ty IS said to greatly deaden sound

A Humane Enterprise.

We are pleased to learn that DR..
JOHN Il. ALLEN, an eminent physi-
elan, contemplRtes establishing at
Memphis = pivate Insane Asylum.
The necessity for such an institution i'm
the South, has long existed. 1t will
HOw be supplied, and by q man of
ali ethers that will insure il a success.
DR.. ALLEN was for many years the
Superintendent and physician of the
Insane Asylum at Lexington Ken
tRcky, and filed the position with
distinguished ability. The Medical
profession throughout the country
recognize him as the highest authority
IL this branch of Medical Science.
No man on the continent is better
capable of conducting successfully and
satisfactorily such an institution. He
possesses in an eminent degree, all
the qualities necessary to its Triumph
ant success. As humane enterprize,
it will commend itself to the approba-
ton Of the public.

4 Hot Locality.

Hon. James Brooks writes from
Shanghai:
Upon the whole, the place is a
model place, save and except that
sun-that red-hOt, fiery, furious sun
that only a tWO-stOry pitch hat,
a double umbrella and goggles enable
you to live under, with white sheet on,
in white linen only, and no shirt, as
japanese and as Chinese as possible,
under European discipline, which has
established the unnatural law that
clothes in her climates are indispensa-
bles BY the way, what is the matter
with these suns? There is not q hot
place in the United States, from New
Orleans 10 the Geysers in California,
where the thermometer makes moth
ing of running up to 1ls, when a
straw hat, under that sun, is not en-
durable; while here you would soon
run mad, in a straw hat, under the
same sun. The sun is the Caucasian's s
mortal enemy here, while MOngolian
(has he n thicker pate p needs no hat,
seldom has hat nay, on the con-
trary, with shaven head, accepts
harmIessly the full blaze of the noon
tay sun. The atmosphere here must
make these Eastern suns so much
hotter than our Western suns, under
the same indications of the ther-
mometer. The very reflection of
them, sometimes gives the Caucasion
the heat appoplexy, and almost in
slant death. / was constantly
threatened with 1t in July, though
never venturing out Of doors till the
sun was setting, or before it was
much riseu in the morning. This very
reflection of the sun, however, which
have seldom faced, has almost made
a yellow man of me, and / expect,
hereafter, to stand high with my
colOred brethren.

MASONIC PROCESSION.


saw a band of Brothers move,
With slow and solemn tread
Their hearts were Joined in ties ii love,
In charity were wed;
And types OF light iliumed the ray,
ShOne on the Christening rod.
And In the midst wide open lay,
The gospel OF our God.
Iasked q man of fourscore years,
Why after them he ran?
lie seid-Endsmelted into tears
They feed the poor old man.
He said, once was sick and sad,
Ny limbs were racRed with pain
They oams--they COmforted and clad,
The old mansroSs again.
Iasked a weeping widow why
She followed those before
She said-and wiped her weeping eye
They came unto my door
They came when all the world beside
Had turned from me and fed
They came my wants and woes TO hide
They gave my children bread.
asked an orphan boy whyhe
His eager footsteps bends?
Ne said they smile on all like mc,
They were my fathers friends;
Before he died they clothed and fed,
And all our gifts they gave,
And when We wept for father dead,
They threw gifts in his grave.
! And such 7 said are Mason aH,
Friends TO the needy poST;
They never view a Brothers fall,
They never Shun his door;
And though It's said they are not Free, ,
sse Virtue and love are twins,
And the best grace of charity,
Hides multiJudes of sins.
They worship in the Lodge of God,
Scret and solemn there;
They bow beneath his sacred rod,
And breath d heartfelt prayer.
FreemasOHTy, like a,WOman's love,
Is taught by private rules,
SO deep that should IL public prove,
1t wOuld be sport for fools.

Brigham YOung's Finances.

From the salt Lake utah Review.
On the eve Of Brigbam's departure
a levy was made upon the several
quorums OF Seventies, Twelves, etc,
and even poor women q very few
borrowed q small amount to pay for
bonds and attorneys on the part of
the Prophet after his departure. In
this way about ten thousand dollars
were raised outside Of perhaps every
public treasury, especially the NUM-
cipal, which does not admit Of even
report to the tax and license prayers.
When the matter shall be fully inves-
tigsted. II will most likely be found
that funds for future settlement have
been amply provided. In order to
save the English Banks deposits and
the ready cash on hand, the several
quorums OF Seventies and the several
smaller lights have advanced the
necessary travelling expenses for the
present; which must be admitted To
be very clever on the part of the dyed
in-the.WoOl saints

MahOnet.

The Arabs, before the mission of
BTahemet, were Sabsens, or worship
ers of the stars. T0 the distinguished
tribe of the KOreish belonged the
charge of a black stone, which was
regarded as the national palladium,
and was kept at Mecca. To this tribe
belonged AahOmet, who, through his
intercourse with the Jews and Christ
ians, learnt to prefer MonOtheism to
the Pelytheism of his countTYmen.
After attaining an Independent posi-
ton by marriage with a rich widow,
he gave himself up for while to a
life of religious retirement, and in his
fOTtieth year re-appeaTed with the
doctrine that there was but one God,
and that he, Mahomet, was his pro-
phet. At first, he not only found but
few adherents, but q riot forced him
to leave Mecca for Medina on the 10Th
OfJuly, 622, from which, as the Hegira
or Flight Of BfdhOHiet, the Mahomst-
ans compute their years, as the Christ
ians do theirs from the birth of Christ
While at Medina he composed some
of the fragments Of which the holy
book called the Koran consists. Short
ly afterwards he was acknowledged
by the Arabians as the appointed
messenger of the Deity, and after his
death, in the year 632, his tomb at
Mecca became the resort for pilgrims.
The religion which he left behind
him taught the unity of Sod as the
Greater and preseTveT of the universe,
the resurrection of the dead, and life
hereafter in which the good would be
rewarded and the bad punished. To
the ceremonials OF the faith belong
frequent absOIutiOns, the Offering of
five prayers daily, fasting and pill
grimages TO Mecca. The giving Of
aims was commanded, poiygamy
within certain limits was allowed,
and wine and pork was prohibited.
A very practical precept of the Koran
was the duty OF diffusing the true
doctrine by fire and sword, if neces-
sary, and all who died in the piOus
cause were promised paradise full OF
sensual delights.

Stories.


Noticing the departure from San
Francisco for Leyuka of brig of one
hundred tons burden, OwRed by b.
S. Fuller, her captain, and 6. 4 st.
John, two veteran residents of the
Fiji Islands, the Alta says:
"Capt. Fuller is the Oldest AmeTi-
can settler, having gone there from
over twenty years ago. He
so moved his English wife, and here
he has large family of children who
are truly native and to the manner
born. During their long residence in
these far or isles, the above named
enterprising spirits have been actively
engaged in both maTatine and agri-
cultural pursuits. They now own
adjoining cotton plantations, which
are being successfully and prOfitably
cultivated. Their craft Just about to
sail is to be employed in this busi-
ness, and more particularly in trans
porting labOrers and others from dis
tant groups to Levuka, for no work
can he soaked or forced from the ma
tive Fijians, who ridicule the idea of
one so degrading himself as to resort
to manual labor. He has his bread
fruit, his single and scant garment
and his thatched cot, and he is con-
tent. The working bees come frOna
SOlomoIfis Island and New-Hebrides;
cotton raised is pronounced in the
Liverpool market superior to the Sea
Island, and the last crep shipped,
amounting to 1900 bales, commanded
Il per pound. The soil is a sandy
loan and clay sub-soil mixed with
lava. Ths native lahoreTs on the
plantations command $50 per mouth,
and there are some 5000 of them EN-
ployed on the islands. Nearly all
of the foreigners are English. In
Levuka there aae 700 Inhabitants
aud Methodist, Episcopal and Catho-
lie churches, besides a native mis-
sion. The religion of the natives Is
mainly controlled by public policy
Their present Chief was formerly s
cannibal. When converted he haC

The NIne Of Diamonds.


gTac E6ilowing reasons are given
why tlie nine OF diamonds is called
fIes stirse Of Scotland: In the dis
stractetl state Of the country during
the reign of Mary, a man, George
Campbell by name attempted to steal
fbe crown out of Edinburgh castle.
IN this he was unsuccessful, but man
aged to abstract nine valuable jewels,
and escaped safely to foreign shore.
To replace these q heavy tax WAS laid
upon the country, which the poor,
oppressed people thought so great >
grievance that they termed II the
curse of Scotland; and until very re-
centiy, the card itself bore the name
at George Campbell in the Highland.
.Ah0fher explanation relates TO the
Nen-kuOwn massacre Of Glencoe.
The mandate of this cruel deed was
signed by the etCest son of the Earl of
stair, who was at the time Secretary
.,f STATE of Scotland. The coat-of-
arms belonging TO this family bears
rtffaP diamonds on its shield, and the
people, not daring TO stigmatize the
master of Stair a. the curse of Scot
land, applied il to his armorial bear
5pgs. And still another explanation
s,piafps to the battle of CuiiOden,
which eXtinguised the hopes of the
stuart party, and was at the time con-
.-idered a national curse. The Duke
Of Cumberland, who was known ia
have been a gambler, Is said to have
carried a pack OF cards i'm his pocket
and when he had won the famous
field, me took out the nine OF dla
monds, and wrote his account Of th'
victory on it.
