A Peculiar Sect.

Baltic. Creek in Michigan is the head
quarters OF one Of tho most peculiar re-
ligious sects to be found in this coun-
try. It is called tho Seventh Day Adj
ventists, and its members differ from
tho denomination generally known us
Adventists, in looking for the second
coming OF Christ soon, without asst
ming to fix on any particular time Tor
his appearance. They constitute large
and wealthy portion Of tho inhabitants
Of Battle Creek, where they arc greatly
respected for their strict integrity, their
oxactitudo in their dealings, and their
dovout, conscientious adherence to the
principles Of religion and morality.
They occupy distinct quarter Of the
city known as the Advent Settlement,
which is distinguished for the scrupu-
lous cleanliness which prevails every.
wherA. They are strct hygienists, and
an extensive water cure, which attracts
visitors from all parts of the United
States, forms one OF their enterprises.
They have n largo publishing house
where denominational books, tracts,
periodicals and the like are printed,
employing fifty hands. The most sim
gular thing about them, however, is
the fact that all Of the practical, money
getting members of this denomination
In Battle Creek aro under the absolute
domination OF woman named White,
who processes 10 receive revelations,
and is regarded rs the inspired medium
Of supernatural communications. There
is not one Of these Adventists who does
not place implicit faith in the reyelN-
tions of Mrs. White, and they unhesi-
tatingly obey her directions in all things
both spiritual and temporal. Should
sho require one or more members OF
the church to remove from the city, or
TO give up profitable business, the in-
junction is acted OH without n murinur.
Tho Seventh Day Adventists observe
Saturday as their Sabbath, which be-
gins on Friday evening ut sunset and
lasts until tho same hour on Saturday.
On Sunday their workshops and places
Of business arc alive with activity, and
such amusements as they indulge in
arc apparently enjoyed with unusual
Eest on that day.

The readers of Samuel warren's
"Tcn Thousand n Year," M amusing
law story, terribly spun out and over
laid with religious sentiment, have
probably condemned the plot, in which,
with tho assistance OF Messrs. Quirk,
Cannon 4 Snap, firm Of rascally
thieves attorneys in London, Charles
Aubrey, NJ. p, WHO has inherited the
rich estate Of Yatton, in Yorkshire, from
his father, Inns law suit brought
against him by q certain Tittlebat Tit
mouse, then all but starving as n shop
man, at f35 per year and his board, to
Tag.rag & Co., soft goods retailers in
London, which lawsuit ends in Mr..
Aubrey's having TO surrender the estate
to tho said Tittlebat Titmousc, withIa
debt OF 100000, on account OF the
mesnc profits" the legal term for six
years back rents. Something in this
line, romantic and true, is now on the
tapis in tho Scottish law courts. The
fifteenth Earl Of Eglingtoun and Win
toun, who, in 1880, revived on his own
estate, in the west Of Scotland, the
tournament Of tho Middle Ages, died in
October, 1861, and was succeeded by
his eldest son, who has been in posses.
sion Of the family titles and estates ever
since. These have been lately clNimed
by Stephen John Fulton, who served in
the Crimean War MS n private in the
Royal Irish Hussars, and left the army
with pension Of sixteen cents day
for life. He lately appeared in the
Sheriffs Court at Edinburgh, where he
made q declaration In regard to On ap.
plication TO receive the benefit Of the
poor's roll, in reference to his contcm-
plated action. He maysue II hc pleaseS
"in Jorma i,dttpcris, " as a poor man,
II ho can show his poverty. We have
not heard on whatgrounds ho challenges
tho do ,facto Earl Of Eglingtoun; but,
having examined the family pedigree,
ns giyon In Burko's Peeragc, conclude
TINT his only show would DO by imput-
ing illegitimacy to tho fifteenth Earl
tho tournament mRn-who was born In
Palermo in 1912. As tho Earlingtoun
estates Rre worth 5000, 900 Pcr annum,
and the six years nesne profits would
amsunt to 81, 800, 900, tho prize Is worth
striving for. II won II will throw
Charles Aubrcy's "Ten Thousand n
Year completely in the shade.

A Singular idea.

The enterprising individual who
earned n few dollars by charging sight
scers for admission 10 the house where
his father Ind been murdered, has Il
rival in tho London proprietor Of q
music hall who hired for exhibition ten
Of tho survivors Of tho Northncet dis
astcr. Penniless rs they were, they
consented, and the very night nfter the
catastrophe, less than twenty.four hours
since the terrible tragedy in real life
had becn enacted, these ten men found
themselves seated upon n concert saloon
stage with tho curtain rising and re-
vealing them amid loud cheers to n very
large and uncontrollably enthusiastic
audience. The entertainment was re.
pented ugain and again, the contract
being for twelve nights. Crowds greeted
them every evening and financially it
was n great SUCCESS. 1t is q singular
illustration Of tho freaks Of fortune
that tho calamity which shocked the
whole news-reading world and sent more
than three hundred souls into eternity
should liave filled the pockets OF this
saloon.kceper with money and brought
upon tho uncouth, disappearing men
round after round OF applause for
merely sitting upon stage from which
forty.eight hours before they would
have been ignominiously driven. The
temporary victory over death makes n
man something Of hero after all, even
il it is certain tliat the victory is really,

Among my more recent inventions
are:
A printing press that sets its own
type, writes its own editorials and stirs
up delinquent subscribers. 1t answers
very well for clothes press, or n sub.
soil plow, or n threshing machine, and
is warranted to press the question, or
to press forward.
4 brick ship, TO sail the mighty
waters Of tho great Atlantic. 1t has n
granite foundation, with n fine cellar,
and n good well with n free.stone.payed
walk running in front Of it at the rate
OF ten knots mile.
A simpliAed pot-hook, which you can
unfold, md it makes n nice spring bon
net for your wife and 1t is equally cnsy
to turn it into m overcoat, or you can
uso it for q handkerchief or standing
collar.
A compound toothpick, which will
pick anything out of q hollow tooth
from n shoulder Of meat to tootliachc.
You unfold it and behold you havo n
step.ladder; give it another twist, and
then you have aone.horse druy ; reverse
it, and You have cottage with three
rooms and an aero lot.
An umbrella, so Antagonistic to water
that, if you should fall in the river
with it, you would come out perfectly
dry. It is altogether unnecessary oven
to hold it over you in n storm. Fold it
up and it is walking cane, press on n
spring and it is n coal scuttle turn it
inside out and it is a plug hat turn it
again and You have q pair of boots.
Everybody gets dry WHO carries it.

Ceyloil.

The island OF Ceylon is very beauti.
iul, the scenery lovely, aAd the soil pro-
ductiye in spices and many kinds OF
fruit; indeed, II is said that it alone
might produce sufficient coffee for the
consumption Of the entire world. The
natives, however, arc far from pleasing.
They are generally Of short stature,
very efIcminate.lookin apathetic, and
such liars that It is impossible TO depend
upon their word. II they may but re-
pose for hour after hour under tree,
with piece Of brcad.fruit beside them,
they seem to caro- for little else. The
men wear their hair turned up behind
with n comb, tho height Of the comb
denoting the rank Of tho wearer. This,
and the small features, gives them nj
together such m effeminate appearance,
that IL is difficult for n European to dis.
tinguish them from the females. A
visitor lately entered one Of the schools,
and, seeing q row of boys with their
backs towards him, and each with n
comb in his head, ,inconsciously asked
II tho boys and girls were educated
together. One OF the natives OF high
rank was lately called on to give evil
dence at trial, and swore such com.
plete ialschoods, that lio was imprisoned
Tor perjury. He applied to the English
Government, and, with surprise, asked
why ho should be punished for what
his people did. "My father" he said,
was a linr, and my grandfather was a
liar, and We aro all liNrs. II is tho GUS

Paper C,ar.wheels.

The numerous uses to which paper
and paper.pulp aro applied in the vari.
ous departments OF general industry,
form ono OF the most interesting chap.
tCrs in the history Of recent mechanical
and chemical progress. We have paper
doors and window.blinds, paperbilliard.
balls, boats, and wash.basins, paper
clothes and curtains, and, not the lcast
important, as recent experiments have
demonstrated, paper car-wheels. From.
an exchange we learn that n Connecticut
railroad Is about to make trial OF these
now wheels, which hive been known to
car.builders for some time, though
their general introduction has been
hindered by the expense, These wheels
are mnde by the following process:
Sheets Of common straw paper Aro
forced into a compact mass by a pres.
surc OF three hundred and fifty tons.
The solid mass OF paper thus formed is
placed in alathe and turned perfectly
round. Afterwhich, n hub Ia forced into
holo in the center, under q pressure
Of twenty-five tons. This paper wheel,
or disk, Is now forced, under a pressure
OF two hundred and fifty tons, into 4
steel tire, with one.half inch bowel
upon It's inner circumference. Two
circular iron plates aro then bolted on
to tho tiro to keep the paper filling IN
plncc. BY this arrangement the steel
tiro rests upon tho paper only, and is
thus rendered more elastic, quality OF
great Importance, MS regards both tho

The Noon a Dead World.

Among the illusions swept away by
modern science was the pleasant fancy
that tho moon was habitable globe,
like the earth, its surface diversified
with seas, lakes, continents, and islands,
and varied forms Of vegetation. Thco-
logians and SaUaMts gravGly discussed
the probabilities of its being inhabited
by race OF sentient beings, with forms
and faculties like our own, and even
propounded schemes for opening COM
munication with them, in case they ex-
listed. One OF these wAs to construct
on the broad highlands of Asia series
OF geometrical figures on scale so gi.
gantic rs to be visible from our plane
tary neighbor, on the supposition that
the moon people would recognize the
object, and Immediately construct SINH
lar figures in reply! Extravagant and
absurd Us it may appear in the light Of
modern men from making fools of them
selves, stood in the way of actual ex.
pertinent; but the discussion was kept
up at intervals, until it was discovered
that il there were people in tho moon
they must be able to without breath
ing, or eating, or drinking, Then it
ceased.
There can bo no life without air.
Beautiful to the eye of tho distant OBJ
server, tho moon is sepulclral orb
n world OF death and silence. No vege-
tation clothes its vast plains OF stony
lesolation, traversed by monstrouscrev-
ices, broken by enormous peaks that
rise like gigantic tombstones into space; /;
no lovely forms of cloud font in the
blackness of its sky. There daytime is
only night lighted by u rayless sun.
There is no rosy dawn in the morning,
no twilight in the evening. The nights
are pitch-dark. In daytime the solar
beams are lost against the jagged ridges,
the sharp points Of tho rocks, or the
steep sides of profound abyssGs; and
the eye sees only grotcsquo shapes re-
lieved against fantastic shadows black
rs ink, with none of that pleasant gra-
dation and diffusion OF light, none Of
the subtitle blending Of light and shad-
ow, which makes tho charm OF n terrcs-
trial landscape. There is no color,
nothing but dead white and black.
Tho rocks reflect passively the light of
the sun; tho craters and nbysses re-
main wrapped in shade; fantastic peaks
rise like phantoms in their glacial GENE.
terry; tho stars appear like spots in the
blackness OF space. The moon is u
dead world: she has no atmosphere.
