We give below, an extract from
"Ihe Birds" of Aristophanes, transla-
ted by Mr.. Frere
Says Schlegel, referring to this po-
EN-, however partial and fairy-tale-
like all this may seem, there is never
theless, a philosophical significance in
thus taking, for once in a while. a sort
of bird 's-eye view Of the sum of all
things, seeing that most of our concep-
tions are true only for human station
of view, after ALL"
Prof. Jevons has written a book adj
vocating this doctrine of Schlegel's
that things true in regard to man are
false in regard to other beings, under
different circumstances. Says q late
Writer, combating this theory. 'They
(mathematical truths) are true eter-
nally, although they may not cores
pond to all conditions. APPLICABILITY
and falsitv are essentially different"
According TO Schlegel, the concep-
ton of deity in one age isjust as true,
IN essence, as the conception of another
age; for each is true only for human
station of view, after ALL" 1t may
now be truly conceived, that there is
an AlI-Wise God: but, let the con-
ceiver change his station of view,n (as
for instance from that of man to that
OF a bird of the air. and the truth Of
his conception is at once called in
question. But, if this principle holds
true thus far. it must go farther. If
we admit that metamorphasis af-
fectS the truth of our conceptions, we
must admit that each approach to
metamorphasis affects the truth of
these conceptions. So, finally our cir
cumstances, connections, surround
ings, may become 50 various, may diff
fer so widely that truth to US may be-
come fa!sity, and falsity become truth.
Thus, at once, he uusettles all princi-
pies of knowing and being, and right
and wrong, lose their boundaries. If
one proved beyond allmanner ofdoubt
that a thing true or false, he might
still be mistaked. Even should lie de-
clare that the sun shines, he might be
wrong, or the proposition be untrue to
him that never perceived light.
We leave the discussion of these
points to those, who are already we
known as contestants in such science.
The poem is noted for the brilliancy
of the conceptions. and the rapid sue
cessiOn of the thoughts. Hood has inn
itated the style more correctly than
any other writer, whom we can now
recall.
The play, from which this extract is
taken, is said to have been acted in the
year 4l4 b. G.

BosH.-The Republican. Grants personal
organ at the National Capital, publishes about
the most ridiculous piece of nonsense. If the
dispatches are to be believed. that has ever
appeared III print since the invention of type.
1t is to the effect that Grant has never asked
any one to vote for his own denomination, or
in the slightest way to work for it, The
wooden-headed fool who penned that state
ment don't believe it himself. Let Federal
oiiicehoder even be suspicioned of not favor
ing Grants denomination and his official head
rolls in the basket at once; while thieves and
plundercrs, and blatant loyalsts, who are loud
mouthed in their professions of fealty to the
present dynasty, may steal as much as they
please and retain their official positions.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

We received few days ago, from Messrs.
A. l.. Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco, Cal,
three books, lately issued from the press by
Woolworth, Ainsworth & Co, of New York
and Chicago, which deserve more than pass
ing notice:
"a Treatise on English Punctuation" de-
signed for letter-writers. authors, editors, and
printers and for use in schools and academies,
by John Wilson, is a work the necessity for
which has long been felt, and it is decidedly
the most thorough and complete work on the
subject that has ever come under our notice.
We had heard the book so favoraby spoken of
that nearly year ago, we sent east for copy,
and we find it a complete work on the subject.
Esthetics; or, The Science of Beauty" by
Professor John Bascom, of Williams College,
comprises sixteen lectures on the principles of
taste, intended to aid the student in the con-
sideration of works of art, and direct him into
proper appreciation of the beauties of nature,
as well as art. We have given the book only
cursory examination, but are satisfied that a
careful perusal and consideration of it will
well repay the reader.
The third work is "A COmpendious Gram
mar of the Greek Language" by Alpheus
Crosby, Professor Emeritus of the Greek Ian
guage and Literature in Dartmouth College,
doubtless, is an excellent work but not being
a Greek scholar we can form an opinion as to
its merits. Coming from the source that it
does is, however, sufficient to bring it to the
favorable notice of the public.
Either of the above named books can be OBJ
tanned of Messrs A. L. Bancroft Il Co, - Mar
street. San Francisco, Cal, to whom we re.
turn thanks for literary favors,

CoLCMBUs' CLAIMS TO THE DISCOVERY OF
THIS CONTINENT CoNTESTED-The Ameri-
can Geographical Society held meeting at
the Cooper Institute last night tor the purpose
of listening to q paper on Martin Behaim's
Globe, with reference to the claims OF Column
bus to the discovery of this Continent" by the
Rev. Mytton Maury, of Fordham. After the
regular order of business was gone through
Mr.. Maury was introduced to the society by
Judge DAILY. In opening the paper Mr..
Maury made brief remark about the BIRTH
place of the subject of his sketch. Of the or
iginal globe, which is now in Paris, he gave
a graphic and detailed description Behaim
mixed with the real geographical feature of
his work much of the romance of his time.
The coast of Zanzibar was represented as
golden land. and astrde the top of one OF Its
mountains was represented missionary ex
horting the heather around its base to join him
under the banner of Christianity. When we
consider that each of these heathenS are said
to possess the strength of four ordinary Euro
peans we cannot but admire the moral courage
of the noble missionary. A little way to the
east of an Island in the Indian Ocean is rep
resented sea monster of exaggerated dimen-
sons, with his head just above the water and
his laws wide open. In the Atlantic Ocean,
on the Globe, is seen ship in full sail, and i'm
mediately behind it, in its wake, is huge
green marine monster with open mouth just
about to swallow the ship. The water is
painted green, and the land brownish color,
with here and there green spots representing
the fertile spots on the earth. while that col
ored brown is supposed to be sterile The
tops of the mountains are painted white to
represent the perpetual snow covering them.
When we consider that Behaim's globe was
finished in 1892, and that it took years of
thought and then years of labor to finish it,
we cannot believe that Columbus was the sole
believer in the worlds rotundity, or of the
fact that the Indies could be reached by sail
ing westward On the globe of Behaim the
West Indies are represented as the East Indies,
and what is row the United States is called
Asia. The reverend gentleman concluded by
summing up the facts which go to prove that
Columbus was not the only mathematician of
the fifteenth century who believed that India
could be reached by sailing westward or that
the world was round.-Ne,c York Herald,
March goth.

FINGER MARKS. short time ago gen
tleman employed a mason to do some work for
him, and among other things to " thln-whiten'
the walls Of one of his chambers This thin
whitening is almost colorlrss until dried. The
gentleman was much surprised on the next
morning after the chamber was finished to
find on the drawer of u bureau standing IN his
room white fiuger marks Opening the drawer
he found the same on the articles IN it, and on
pocket book An examination revealed the
same ON the contents of a bag. This proved
clearly that the mason, with his wet hands,
had oped the drawer and searched the bag,
which contained no money, and then closed the
drawer without once thinking any oae would
know it. The "thin-whitening which hap
nened to be on his hands did not show mt first,
and probably he had no idea that twelve hours
driving would reveal his weakness. Beware
of evil thoughts and deeds! They will leave
their finger marks which will one day be re
vealed They may be almost, if not quite, invls-
ible at first But even If they should not be seen
during any of your days on earth, yet there is a
day coming in which all will be made manifest.

HYDROPHOBIA BAFFLED.

The following is from late issue of the
Chicago Republican,: @
Young True was bitten in the center of the
inside of the right hand Being in the country
at the time it was some twelve hours before he
reached surgeon who cauterized the wound
with nitrate of silver. The wound healed andre
mained SO until between two or three weeks
since, when it became irritable and broke out
again.
Soon the first symptoms Of hydrophobia
showed themselves, commissions. "barking like
dog" frothing at the mouth, and making
strenuous efforts to bite everything that came
near During these c0nvulsiOns the patient
would seize the pillows from his bed in his
teeth and shake and rend them with all the
seeming ferocity of an angry dog. An intense
dread of water also exhibited itself, the sight
of which threw him into the most terrible con-
vulsons, at these times requiring the united
strength of FIVE men to keep him under SUBJ
lection; in fact, every symptom of bydropho-
bia made itself conspicuous. The patient was
attacked on Friday evening, January 10Th.
On Saturday night, his physician, DIR. AFFORD,
reached him, and at once was convinced OF the
the terrible nature of the disease. Having
had similar case some seven or eight years
since where the patient recovered under his
treatment, ana mas renamed Wen ever Slice,
after consulting the physician present, Dr.
Mccall, it was decided to place the patient un-
der the same treatment which had been sue
cessful in his former case, which, for the reas.
on that it may help others who suffer from the
disease, we give as follows: The Injection uD-
der the skin of large doses of morphine, and the
administration Of large doses Of castor, which is
powerful spasmodic. About one grain of the
sui phate of morphine was injected under the
skin once in four hours, and a half drachm
of the powdered castor, mixed with syrup given
internally.
The effect was to produce sleep in about haF
an hour, which lasted about an hour and half
when the convulsiOns returned again, and re-
turned at intervals of an hour to an hour and
a half until about 9 o'clock Sunday morning,
when the last CONFUSION occurred, after which
he suffered severely from obstinate vomiting un-
til Monday at 10 O'clock, when that also ceased,
ieaving the patient comparatively easy but
very much FRUSTRATED. Since that time he has
gradually improved, and is now, to all appear
ances, quite well. In addition to this treat
ment small quantities of chloroform were in
h4led at times and on Sunday morning the pa
tent was wrapped in wOolen blanket wrung
out of a warm solution of muriate of ammon-
ia, eighteen to twenty grains to the ounce.
This was the treatment that checked the fear
full nalady, and which DIR. AFFORD, for the
sake of humanity, is anxious should be pub
lished to the world and thoroughly.
