Danger Island.


Far south, in the Indian ocean, writes
a traveller in the midst of almost eter-
nal surf and spray, rises what Is appro-
priately termed Danger island. Of all
the lonely spots on the globe whose ex-
isteuce has been ascertal2ed, this is
probably the most lonely. Once only
has it been known to have been visited
by man. The sea for many hundred
miles rolls and flashes over bot
tom, till arriving at certain degree OF
latitude, the floor of rock abruptly
terminates, and the ocean becomes In
moment of unfathomable depth. On
the very edge of this abyss stands Dan
ger island, which the least touch of an
earthquake or an unusual stroke of hur-
ricane may some day topple over into
the bottomless gulf. The billows in
cessantly fret and moan against the
cliffs of Danger island, which on all
sides descend sheer into the deep, SO as
to appear from distance perfectly in
accessible.
A surveying ship, traversing the ocean
in all directions for scientific purposes,
once approached this wild rock. After
rowing to a considerable distance along
the foot of the precipices, one gentleman
discovered a small fssure, through
which he felt confident they could climb
to the summit; and the boat being
pushed quite close to the rocks, two or
three of the most daring landed, and
after no slight toll and peril, reached
the top. The prospect which then PEE
sented itself was truly extraordinary.
Rendered green as an emerald by the
agency of hidden springs, the whole
surface of the island was thickly strewn
with eggs of innumerable ocean birds,
which, raising from the task of incuba-
ton, formed a canopy of tiuttering
wings overhead. The eggs were OF all
colors-white, light chocolate and ceru-
lean blue, dotted with brown or crimi-
son, or turquise, OF black. Here and
there little bills protruded from shells ;
and the mothers, though scared away for
moment by the unusual apparation OF
men, soon alighted near their young.

N1sAErHRoPE ON CALVINISM.

There must be some reason for being
For the misery man calls Life
For the ceaseless toll Of the millions,
For the never-victorious strife;
For the priest who guides without seeing,
For the ploughman who garners no grain,
For the statesman who breaks without founding
For the thinker whose thought edges pain;
For the faith which but tortures the doubter,
For the hope which attains not the prize,
For the love which, loses It's SAVIOR,
For the instincts they tell US are lies.
There must be a reason for being,
And the best they can tell us is this
That we add TO the Infinite somewhat,
And increase an Ineffabble Bliss.

Silver at Par.
New York World, oct. IL,

New York World, Oct. Ill
The effect of the general stringency
of the currency market has placed sill
YER at discount when sold for cur
rency. The exact cause of this de-
cline is not easily comprehended. Be
fore the panic silver was rated at a
premium of 81 per cent. but the crash
has had such perceptible effect upon
it that during the days of the Crisis in
diyiduals offered it to dealers in large
and small quantities for par, and in
some instances Mt o fraction discount for
currency. The rates at which 1T was
offered remained the same. A Wall
street firm doing large business IN the
purchase and sale of gold and silver
coin absoletely refused to buy a lot OF
$4,000 worth offered them at par.
The currency was more preferable for
them to hold, and the time wasted in
counting the silver coin could more
advantageously be used. A dealer said
that there was only about $lOO,OOO
worth of silver coin in New York.
About this period of the year certain
portion of the quantity of silver in the
home market is bought by silversmiths
and ieweners for manufacturing pur-
poses. But as the trade is dull, owing
to financial troubles, their portion OF
the silver remains in the market, thus
aiding in bearing down the rate. These
causes combined have suficed TO create
such q marked decline in the exchange
able value of silver, which has always
led preenbacks from its international
use as a medium of exchange.

The PARISH BEADLE OF BRITAIN
Great is the parish beadle He is great
in his livery, and his livery makes him
great. Though filling an humble posi-
fion he ,ieems himself capable of fill
ing ing the greatest. He is like sancho,
ly become him, for he had once been
beadle to brotherhood, and that peo-
pie would come from leagues around to
see him in his ducal robes. The beadle
Ioveth to show his power. Little boys
tremble in his presence, and old wo-
men bow before him. He fawnesh upon
the great, and the weak look not to him
for aid. Divested of his beadles gown,
he is plain John Smith or Ezekiel Jones
of anywhere in that wondrous garb,
he is the beadle of Bellyfllem. He
may get into parliament or may don the
robes of an earl, but the beast within
the robes and the spirit of the beast
within his body bespeaks him still the
parish beadle.-Author Of Gtnr'S Bd6y

Some interesting statistics of rail-
road disasters in England have recently
been published, and they show, that
contrary to the general impression, and
in spite of the superior caution that
English roads are supposed to exercise,
they really kill large number OF per-
sons yearly. In 1872, l, Jas persons
were killed, and 3,O38 injured. OF the
killed, 1877 were passengers, of whom
"a lost their lives from causes beyond
their control, and103 by their own care
lessness. The numberof employees killed
was 634, of whom only "a received their
injuries from causes beyond their con-
troll. Seventy persons were killed at
crossings 25S of the killed were re-
turned under the head of trespassers
and suicides, and 1856 miscellaneous" J."
We have no statistics by which a fair
comparison between England and Amer
lea in this respect can be made, but the
Railroad Gazette places the killed by
accidents during the last IL months at
341, and the injured at /, 410. This evi-
dently includes only actual smash
ups - list including the individual in
stances of loss of life, which are con
stantly occurring, would be four or five
times larger. But these statistics show
that, considering we have 10000 miles
Of track to England's $4,000, our rail-
road fatalities are comparatively fewer
than hers.
