chine can do, sewing from the finest to the
coarsest material, henming, telling, cording,
braiding, binding, gathering and sewing on, at
the same time ruffiing, quilting, etc., better
than another machine.

8. Because it can work a beautiful button
hole making as fine pearl as by the hand.
4. Because it will embroder over the edge,
making neat and beautiful border OH any gar

are too apt to play the coward when assalled

The law furnishing dealers in impure kero-
sene and other burnng-huids long since fell
into such general disuse that the vile COM
pounds, sold openly in all parts of the city,
caused, per month, on an average, score and
half of fires and dozen deaths. The extent
and nature Of the danger were exposed; two
or three hundred dealers were posted by name
in THE TRIBUNE, and demand was made for
the suppression of the traffic. This, we are
told, is practically insured. Most of the small
dealers have been fined and compelled to take
out licenses. Only few of the larger ped
dlers resist, and these are manufacturers of
patented but notoriously impure oils which
careful persons will not use. 1t will take only
little time and vigorous prosecution Of the
Fire Commissioners TO drive these from the
trade in fame to better pursuits.

EARTHQUAKES.

I'm most languages the earth is the emblem
of soldity. A feeling of trust in its perma-
nence is almost interviewer with human ex-
istence, and men spend their lives in toll to
acquire possession of small patch of "this
"huge, firm earth"-a possession which Black
stone tells us extends even to the
center of the globe. When, therefore, q
sudden convusiOn shakes the ground be-
meath the feet, and an appalling noise,
louder than any thunder comes from unknown
depths below, speechless terror falls upon
men, which probable destruction of property
and absolute personal danger scarcely aug
ment. And hence, although the mere dates
and prominent facts Of earthquakes are trans
mitted to us from remote centuries, careful
observations such as are necessary for scien-
tific research into their causes, and which
must be accumulated for many years before
definite results can be predicpted upon them
are exceedingly few.
There will doubtless be those who will seek
connection between the deplorable catas-
trOphe at Antioch and the more extended
phenomenon in California. Ever since the
hypothesis was started that the crust of the
earth is nowhere more than one hundred
miles thick, that within the crust there is
mass of melted matter to which volcanoes act
as safety valves, and that when the valves are
obstructed sudden development of volcanic
gases, pushing against the crust, starts series
of waves from some central point of agitation
and thus constitutes an earthquake, there
have been plenty of earthquake condolences.
Sometimes the shocks on both sides of the
.1, houa aip
supposed to have started from it's center.
Sometimes hours have elapsed between, and
calculations have been made as to the length
of time it should take a wave in the melted
nucleus to travel some 5000 miles through and
strike the crust ON the other side. But while
the melted nucleus hypothesis answers for q
few of the facts, it seems to be contradicted
by others, and there are objections to it made
by physicists of high standing that are well
nigh insuperable.
1t is improbable, to say the least, that such
an igneOus mass would not have cooled in the
long geologic eras, notwithstanding the pro-
tecting crust. 1t has been shown by expert
ment that such melted nucleus would be
likely to melt its shell-especially as, the shell
being heavier than the nucleus, there would
be strong tendency of the surface to tumble
in. There would be tides in the melted mat
ter due to the moons attraction which would
DO visible, but are not in active volcanoes.
The shape Of earthquake waves is not accord
ant with the central nucleus theory. Prof.
Thompson of England, a man of high au-
thority in such researches, has even demon
strated by mathematical means that absence
of change In the figure of the earth under the
moons attraction. indicates rigidity through

THE FINANCES.

Secretary Boutwell, has made q gratifying
exhibit Of the workings of the Treasury De-
parment from March /, 1869, to April /, 1872
three years and one manufacturing which
period the National Debt Cess cash in the
Treasury has been reduced from total Of
s., ,491 899,90 to t74374,2 ,298, or by no less
sum than s317,O25.6O6. The annual interest or
burden of the Debt, which, at the date of
Gen. Grants Inauguration as President, was
S196, ,3S855O, is now S1O5,0O4, ,99s-a reduction in
thirty seven months of S2O,4S4,552.
There are those who sincerely believe that
this grand result might have been achieved
under Tariff not Protective: we do not, and
cannot. We know how the country languished,
its industry was parayzed, its currency lay in
ruins, and its people were hOpelessly impover-
ished and unthrifty, for the seven years fol-
lowing the close of our fathers Rev
olutionary struggle; we can just re-
member the similar period Of paral-
yss and bankruptcy which followed the
War of 1925 with Great Britain; and we
feared that q kindred cycle of distress and
calamity would follow hard on the heels of
our own far more exhausting, devastating Civil
War. We know that many of our Free
Traders predicted this catastrophe; we know
why it was not realized, and heartily wish
hey did. In that case, we should no longer
be at odds with them.
Mr. Boutwell, reports the Gold now in the
Treasury at $i20,2OO610, the Currency at
s1O,43i ,299--together, S13O.63i, 800. There are
those who profess to see the wisdom of keep
ing this monstrous hoard; we do not, and
cannot, though we have patiently studied
every explanation and defense of 1t hitherto
put forth. Deduct S30,OOO0OO to balance

ont the Globe incompatible with anything but

The fact that earthquakes occur most ire
quently along sea-coasts has given rise 10 .rio
theory that they are caused by sudden SHIT
ing of an equilibrium which has been de.
stroyed by the immense amount OF SOL carried
into the sea by rivers. This was orglnaiiy
advanced by Sir John Herschel; but there are
difficulties about it, aside from its requiring
the melted nucleus for basis Humboldt don-
Onstrated that many mountain chalhs-aihohs
them tbe Andes s-were solid before they
were upraised and that consequently
in upbeayal their strata would leave
arched spaces and caverns, which, Deihg
subsequently enlarged by springs fitepng
through them and undermining the supports
of the strata, would afford space for q fall OF
the masses above them. This might account
for most earthquakes near mountains. 1t IS
observable that in most countries where earth
quakes are frequent, caves are numerous
But. on the other hand, the Romans
used to select the neighb0rhood OF
springs and caves for their larger edi-
fees because ground thus perforated was found
freer from earthquakes. There is also an elec-
trical theory which explains earthquakes py
declaring that it is not the earth that quakes,
but the people and structures upon it, and that
these are buffeted about by electric currents.
Strange to say, there are Californans who ex-
pcr;enced the shocks of 1868, and are inclined
to adopt this belief 1t is fortunate for this
country that great earthquakes here arc fewer
than the theories that propose to explain
them.

The clergy of Boston no less remarkable fo1
good taste than for charity and humility. Tho
Rev. Mr.. Fulton, who has long been noted fol
the gentleness and delicacy of his language, has
been amusing himself by pulpit abuse of William
Ellery Claiming, man whose character was a.
strong and pure as his labors and desires were un
selfish. Mr. Fulton has no sort of admiration for
man like this--he could find nothing more amiabla
to say of him than that spent his life in carcatur
ing Christianity" One is not much surprised to read
that, on the same Sunday another clergyman Of the
same city characterized Mr. Fulton as the Rip Van
Wrinkle of the Boston pulpit. declaring that that
worthy's speech Is but articulate snoring" Tha
only wonder in all this is that clerical Furiosos OF
this kind expect reverence and credence from
respectable and thoughtful people. 1t so happens
that these are not the days of John Knox.
