The Duchexse d,Anqouleua Paar.

Fuller, in his Pear Culturist, relates
the following bit of romance in connec-
ton with the celebrated Duchesse
d'Angouleme pear: a French noble
man, observing his tenant about to de-
stroy a fine, thrifty pear tree, inquired
the cause. He has told that it was q
chance Seeding, and had borne no
fruit in twenty years. He had already
cut its roots preparatory to the first
stroke, but was ordered to let it remain.
He did so, and in the following year it
was loaded with superb fruit Of an en-
tirely unknown variety, which at once
became celebrated. The root-pruning
the gardener had given it lworked like
charm. Not many years afterwards,
when the Duchesse d'Angouleme was
passing through Lyons, its inhabi'
tants sent to her their hospitalities.
Nine fair maidens presented the
Duchesse with golden salvers, on which
lay heaped this precious fruit, and
begged her to bestow on it her name,
and the pear, now recognized as thu
browning glory of all fruits, wal
thence forward known as the Duchess
d'Angouleme.

He was Persuaded to Leave.

Some time ago there lived gentle
man of indolent habits, who made q
business in the winter season of visit
ing his friends extensively. After wear.
ing out his welcome in his own imme-
diate vicinity last winter, he thought
he would visit an old Quaker friend,
some twelve miles distant, who had
been an old schoolfellow Of his. On
his arrival he was cordially received
by the Quaker, he thinking his visitor
had taken much pains to come so far to
see him. He treated his friend with
great attention and politeness for sew
eral days, but as he did not see any
signs Of leaving, he became uneasy,
but bore it with patience until the
morning of the eighth day, when he
said to him: my friend, 1 am afraid
thee will never visit me again." "Oh,
yes, I shall, said the visitor; l shall
certainly come again." "Nay," said
the Quaker, II think thee will never
visit me again" "What makes you
think will not come again 2" asked
tho visitor. "1f thee does neve,
leave," said the Quaker, show canst
thou come again2" The visitor left.

Church Ediflce Destroyed by Fire n
Brooklyn.


Tie Central Presbyterian Tabernacle,
of Brooklyn, of which Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmadge was pastor, was destroyed
by fire Sunday morning. The fire broke
out at $50 A. n, the sexton and his as
sistant being the only persons in the
building at the time, and originated in
one of the fires, bursting forth sudden.
". As soon as discovered the sexton
rang the bell and gave an alarm which
brought thousands of spectators to the
scene. An attempt was made to extln-
o,,ish the flames with pals of water,
but without avail. The fire had made
rapid progress when the tiremep
arrived. A strong gale was blowing
and the flames swept around the
church, devouring everything in
the way. The ceiling and walls,
which were corrugated iron, became
red-hot, and curled of. The mammoth
Jubilee organ soon burned to q cinder,
and the whole interior of the edifice
became one mass of fame. BY the ex-
ertions of the firemen the fire was con-
fined to the church. The roof fell in
at half past two, and soon after the
cupola, with the bell, weighing 1000
pounds. The Tabernacle was erected
in 1870, and cost $75, 900. Being bailt
Of corrugated iron, it was considered
AZ fire proof, and was enlarg.
ed in 1871 so as to seat
4, 100 people. For it was purchased
the Boston Coliseum organ the largest
in the country. The floating debt
was paid off in September, 1871 and
the income Of the church exceeded the
expenditures Estimated loss $9s, 600;
insurance $45, 600 in Eastern companies:
A. u meeting of the trustees held at II
o'clock. a communication was received
/ from Henry Ward Beecher rendering
the use of Plymouth Church
to Mr.. Talmadge and his con
gregation for evening service, which
offer was accepted, aud vote of thanks
! rendered thereto. The truatees of thu
Lafayette Avenue and Clason Avenue
Presl,y terian Churches also offered thu
: use of their respective churches.

HURRICANES.
The Theory Of Spanish s.v.l oAes

The Theory Of Spanish Nsvel OAeer.
The Anuario Gel Deposito Hidro.
grafico of Madrid contains o paper by
Lieutenant F. Carrasco y Guisasola, Of
the Spanish navy, in which new theo-
~ Of cyclones is very plauslbly set
forth. The author admits, with other
writer's, that electricity plays a great
part in these and other phenomena.
Before water spout appears the mari
ner perceives number of black clouds,
which speedily congregate in single
spot. The lowest of them soon descends
in the shape of an inverted cone,
the apex of which seems to touch the
surface of the sea. The waters below
get agitated at its approach, and emit
= vapor which rises up like smoke.
Sometimes q circular depression is
formed just below tho cone, ~ if q vio.
lent wind were blowing from the apex !;
very rarely the inverse occurs, namely,
the rising of the sea to meet the spout.
The latter is generally accompanied
With lightning, thunder, hail aud rain.
Here, then, electricity contributes it's
share, but it cannot easily be proved
that il IL the cause of the phenomenon,
or Of hurricanes ganerally.
To find this 0ur author selects as
suitable examples the typboons of the
Chinese Sea. and founds his reasonings
on the following hypothesis: "a
zone or belt of air, saturated with
aqueous vapor, and compressed by two
opposite forces % much - it can pos.
sibly be, acquires the power of resist.
ance peculiar to solid bodies, and may
therefore be made to revolve ike ahard
disk under the influence of those
forces" Now the origin of the mon
soon in the Chinese Sea is generally
attributed to the rarefaction of the at
mosphere caused by the radiation Of
heat from the great continent, and the
consequent attraction Of air from the
sea to fill up the vacuum. This
induces . northeast trade-vind, which
passes over the Philippine Islands, and
ends in the Pacific at about two hun
dred leagues from its eastern shores.
So does also the southwest monsoon /;
and between these two winds there
exists in that ocean = zone of calms
which shifts its position in accordance
with the prevailing wind; that il,
always on the side Of the weaker one.
Now this zone is the one which our
author considers in the light Of q solid.
II exposed. to two opposite and equal
winds, it will be compressed. but not
moro than the water il contains viii
allow. If the wind be oblque to each
other and unequal, the zone will re-
volve, and, as it finds NO obstacle to
stop it, it will also be shifted more or
less horizontally. Now this is exactly
the motion of cyclones; these storms
will occur oftener in rainy than in other
years; and soon after the rains if the
latter should happen to fall at the be-
ginning of the northeast monsoon.

ON THE ATCHIs0N, TOPEKA AND SANTA FR
RAILROAD.
About s o'clock Monday morning,
twelve miles west OF Newton, on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road, a passenger train, stuck in snow
bank, was run into by freight. Two
cars were telescoped, and the wreck
took fire Immediately, and there was
much difficulty in getting out tho five
wounded and the body of the conduc.
tor, who was killed. The conductors
body was burned horribly. The body
OF another man is supposed to have
been entirely consumed.
IOWA DIVISION OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
RAILROAD.
Passenger train No. 2, coming east
an the Iowa Division of the Illinois
Central Railroad, was thrown from the
track while passing uoder the wagon
bridge and through the deep cut about
mile east of Epworth, Monday night.
The train consisted of q baggage car,
one mail and express Cal, two coaches
and one Pullman sleeping car. The
engine was not thrown from the track,
but all the cars were turned over on
thcir side. The accident IS supposed
to have been caused by the breaking of
a rail, broken by the engine passing
over it. The express messenger, E. A.
Guilbert Jr., of Dubuque, was injured
by the safo falling upon him. A sur.
geon from Waterloo, who was on the
train, states that Mr.. Guilbert is in
jured internally, and he fears fatally.
Mr.. ]. W. Anderson, of Winthrop, was
badly bruised about the head, and q
number of other persons were bruised,
but none others were seriously injured.
INDIANAPOLIS AND JEFFERsoNv1LL RAIL-
ROAD.
Extra freight train No. 2 left Indian
apolis Monday, at 2:25 p. n, in charge
Of John Belch, engineer, George W.
Potter, fireman, and Henry Rooms and
Joseph Bowers, brakemen. The train
was composed of one engine and six.
teen freight cars, containing merchan-
disc consigned to parties in Louisville
and Jefersonville, embracing large
numbers of hogs. The train was run
ming very cautiously. At Henryville
Station, twenty miles out from Louis
vile, the switch was left open by some
person unknown, since the passenger
train passed over the switch, two
hours before and left in proper condi-
tiop. The engine and eleven cars were
thrown down the embankment four
feet into a ravine, instantly killing
Belch, Potter and Koons. Bowers e.
capped and brought assistance, and the
bodies were recovered, but frightfully
mangled. This switch is said to have
been designedly left open once before:
The engines and eleven cars are total
wreck. The deceased lived in Jeffer-
sonville, and were married, but had no
children.
