I'm. End Of t..e word Next Year.

The Adventists are gathered in camp
at Springfield, Mass, and believe that
the world will come to an end in 1874.
Their evidence is contained in the follow
ing quotations; ~.
declaring the end from the beginning. =
Isaiah XVI, 8, 10. =,
Come near, ye nations, to hear and
hearkeu, We people; let the earth hear,
and all that is therein; the world and all
things that come forth of it, for its the
dav of the Lords vengeance, and the
wear of recompenses for the controversy
of Zion. And the stream thereof shall
be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof
into birthstone, end the land thereof
shall become burning ptep. I shall not
be quenched night or day, the sswoke
thereof shall go up forever. Isaiah
xxxiv, l, 8, 3, 10.
Here follows seven long columns OF
figures, which, by system of calcula-
ton peculiarly the writer $, are intended
10 prove beyond doubt tkpt the people
of this world must depart for snetaeT IN
1874. The compiler of this remarkable
timetable earnestly assured a CORE
spondent that Il was very clear, and
called his attention TO tie lower part OF
the poster, Whereon was printed;
Write the vision and make it plain
pnon tables. that he may rua that read
eth Il. For the vision is yet for an ap.
nointed time, but at the end 1t shall
speak and not lie; though it tarry, wait
for n. because il will surely come, It Will
not tarry."-Heb. ii, ?, 8

ton. There are now three Of these
sketchers nightly working for amazed
audiences at three Of our theaters.
Two Of these we're imported Eek
pressly for the occasion" aud the third
was snatched by competition from the
office Of an illustrated paper. The excel
lence Of the work done by these lightning
sketehers is a matter that does not in
terest their managers or the public. The
rapidity with which they produce crayon
resemblances is alone the absorbing
topic. NJ. Collodion's time on Fox At
the Olympic was one minute and thirty
three seconds. M. Regamey at Niblo's
Garden rounded up Jay Gould in one
minute and twenty seconds, which is a
clear gain Of thirteen seconds on the
other house. 1t is, however, but just to
NJ. Collodion TO say that on Wednesday
night he gained three seconds on Butler
by leaving on one of his arms. Greater
speed will no doubt ultimately be OBJ
tanned in this way by all the artists.
Already il is hinted by the Collodion
side that M. Regamey has his pictures
all carefully traced on the paper before
hand, aud the friends Of Regamey call
attention to the fact that M. Collodion
draws only profiles.

Oyster.Packing in baltimore.


From the Baltimore Americana
In 1856 the first oyster and fruit.
packing establishment was started east
of Broadway, that of Mr.. j. C. Mahoney
& Co., on Canton Wharf, and now there
are about twenty-five houses engaged in
the trade within the scope indicated. In
fact, this gigantic packing Interest," in
which millions of dollars of capital are
invested, has done more to build up the
district known as Canton, than all other
industries combined.
In 1862 Mahoney & Co. purchased the
ground upon which their buildings are
located, containing four hundred feet
front, for $23, 1000, and they have refused
more than one offer since from New
York parties of 100000. During the
oyster season about $500 bushels OF
oysters are packed for summer use, and
1900 bushels Of raw ones are packed in
ice for winter use each day. In their
warehouses are now stored immense
stacks Of canned oysters, thousands OF
cases of brandy peaches, cherries,
blackberries, raspberries, green cages,
egg plums, pears, pineapples, ounces,
JOmhJOebt anu uShIiy hi ehC huie
and vegetables that grow, max
ing thirty-five or forty different ar
ticles. A heavy trade is done with
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kansas,
Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia.
Texas, and California, to which latter
State only oysters are shipped, as fruits
are plenty there. Far-off Washington
Territory looks to Baltimore for sup
ply of bivalves, and Europe takes heavy
shipments. This firm employs German
laborers entirely in the fruit department,
and whole families, large and small, are
at work, earning together as much as $3
and 81 per day. In the oyster-packing
season, which will begin next month,
colored labor is employed, and million
and half of bushels are prepared by
Mahoney g. Co. alone.
A shrewd Boltimore firm last year
erected at Canton brandy distillery,
and this seaeon they are taking the peach
parings from the one hundred packers
of the city, obtaining the raw material
merely for hauling it away, and are man
ufacturing from it large quantities Of
brandy,

On the Brink of the Chasm of the
Colorado Canyon.

COlOrhuO ChDyOn.
Correspondence of the New York Tines
AS soon as we had eaten lunch, after
our arrival at the last mentioned pocket,
we proceeded to the brink of the canyon.
Our view was obstructed by cliffs or
gulches till we arrived almost at the very
edge of the abyss so that our first sight
of il revealed it in all its mighty gran.
deur. We had looked across and seen
the top of the wall on the opposite side.
We had, indeed, seen as much as that
when we were at Pipe-not the wall at
To-ro-weap, but further up the canyon.
But we had no view which gave us any
idea of the vastness of the chasm. When
we were hundred yards away sharp
bend in the course of the stream ap.
peared before US, and the gorge suddenly
opened, almsst as if the very crust Of the
earth had been instantly rent asunder.
We stop and gaze in awe-stricken silence
upon the wonderful spectacle. But still
we do not yet comprehend, in the tullness
of its power, the grand scene, nor have
we oil Of it before our eyes. We go for
ward to the very edge, and, creeping out
ON projecting cliff, look directly down
upon the river, raging in its rocky bed
three thousand feet beneath our standing
place. Although the river has volume
equal at least to the Ohio at Cincinnati,
so distant is it that we see but a
mere ribbon of sheen, like a little
rivulet or creek. An object the size
of a man by the waters edge, l am told,
is invisible from our point, except as a
speck before the eye, which cannot be
distinguished as an object. Yet the
water rushes along with such force that
its motion can be seen and what appears
to be only rippleS on its surface, Mr..
Killers, who came through the canyon
in one of the boats, tells me are huge
waves and swift rapids that hurry along
with Tremendous speed and deatenlng
roar that Is terrible to the navigator.
This is easy to belieVe, for the roar OF
the dashing torrent bounds and echoes
from wall to wall, reaching the point
where we stand, intepsifying the impress
sion on the sense of sight. We seem to
stand directly over the river, but when
we come to consider and examine, we
Gnd we are at least 300 or 400 yards
hack from the waters edge. The oppo-
Site wall recedes in the same manner.
The walls do not, however, recede by a
regular angle, or inclination, but by
series of steep terraces, some very mar
row and some quite vide. Between th@
terraces they shoot up perpepdicularlIy
hundreds of feet at single leap. we
Judge the chasm to be 1900 to 2OOO reef
across at the top from where, we stand,
so il can be perceived that the angle OF
inclination from bottom TO top is very
slight. We spent the whole OF the after, .e r
noon wandering about the verge OF me
canyon, selecting the most favorable
points of view, receiving momeptaFliy
new revelations of magnitude, and new
Impressions of grandeur.

The $500 CONFERENCE.-The Fibre
Paper no Protection.

From the Chicago Tribune.l
The Treasury Department is informed
Of attempts that have been made in diff
ferent sections of the country to pass
some of the recently detected counter
felt FIVE hundred dollar legal tender
notes, among the number being one in
stance in DesMoines, Iowa. For the
information of the public, it may be well
to state that the description of differ
ence between the genuine and counter.
felt notes of this denomination will not
likely prove to be such olincher on
the fraud as might be expected The
curves and angles in the engraving OF
the oounterfeit may be easily made to
exactly resemble the genuine, and the
superhuous lines can be FURNISHED out,
or, where necessary, new lines can be
supplied by few cuts with the gravfr.
By close scrutiny of the counterfeit
note, it is found that in the instances
mentioned in the description made by
the government engraver, the counter
feiter has lett rQom for darkening or
tightening the lines which are spoken oil
as too heavy or too light, which is well
known as an old trick of counterfeiters.
The fiber paper, about which the govern,
mept has boasted so much, is admitted
to have been again successfully counter
feited in this issue Of spAFloTs notes.
Altogether it is not improbable that the
entire issue of government notes OF the
above denomination will have to be sup
pressed Changes to correspond with
the description Of the genuine notes have
probably already been made by the
counterfeiters, and the probability is
that counterfeit notes as good as genu-
inc will soon be on the market, it being
one of their Oldest dodges to food the
money market with corrected notes as
soon as possible after the statement Of
the differences between the genuine and
the counterfeit. ONO
