Something About ClOud-bursts.


Within the last few years, the break
ing of water-spouts-if that is q proper
name for the phenCmenon-like that
which desolated town in Nevada last
week, has been frequently noticed. Nor
Is it confined to mountainous districts.
A few years ago a water-spout, or the
bursting of cloud, caused very seri-
GUS damage near the bridge of the Chi
cagO and Northwestern railway across
the Rock river, three miles west of
Dixon; and a similar disaster also bafell
the same road afew miles east of Dixon.
There is an abundance of evidence in
most parts of the country that they have
occurred in all of its past history Es-
pecially is this true along the line of
the Pacific railway. Broad beds of
! the Black Hills and Rocky Mountain
districts, which show plainly the action
of terrible torrents not many years pre-
vious. Experienced railway-men have
| given 1t as their opinion that sufficient
! allowance is not made In the construc-
! ton of our roads to let off the water in
/ such cases. A similar disaster occurred
in southern Minnesota recently, where
very considerable damage was done, and
few years since, the president of the
| Michigan Southern railway and many
passengers came near losing their lives,
not far from Mishawaka, from the same
cause. Several persons in the car next
to them were drowned.
Some years earlier, a portion of the
city of Denver, California, was sub
merged in the night time by a flood
coming down the valley of Cherry
creek, of which the inhabitants had had
no previous warning. A cloud had
I - j. r.
far distant that no sign of its existence
could be discerned, and epilled its con.
tents into the upper valley of Cherry
creek. This creek had been dry fol
many years-so dry that its bed had
been surveyed and laid off in town lots
and built upon, constituting, indeed
one of the most thick-settled parts O.
Denver. The flood struck the town
shortly after midnight, and in an in
slant of time swept off every vestigC
of human habitation and handicraft il
the old bed of the creek and adjacen
thereto, destroying many lives and /
large amount of property, which wa
hurled into the South Platte, which lat
ter stream was raised several feet in
few minutes.
Probably nothing can be done t,
ward off the ealamitIes that often re
suit from cloud-bursts " or water
spouts, but they are worthy of careful
study. Some rules may possibly b.
drawn from the appearances of tn,
clouds, by which people whose home
may be located in the valley liable t.
inundation may be warned in time t,
reach place of safety. The phenome
non of a cloud burst consists of tn
sudden, perhaps instantaneous, con
densation of a vast quantity of warn
moisture in the atmosphere by coming
in contact with the cold side of a mount
ain, or with current of cold air. It i
not improbable that the awful disaste
at Pittsburg on Saturday was identics
in its nature with the cloud-bursts @
Colorado. Arizona, and Nevada.-Chi

The Best Sewing Machine.

The best sewing machine for all purposes
made is, beyond question, the Remington. 1t
will do q greater variety of work, with less
noise and physical exertion, than any in the
market It is so simple that child can man
age it, and so durable that we can see no
reason why one, with ordinary care, should not
last a lifetime.
This point We desire to call especial atten-
ton to. The Remington is made by the Rem
ington Arms Co., of Ilion, n. Z, whose arms
are known the world over
They have the entire confidence Of the gov
ernments of the world, for the reason that
they never turned out poor weapon, nor, in
deed, any but the very best. Quality Is what
they pride themselves upon, for 1t was their
capital at tie beginning. The same rlgid hen
esty that they held to in the manufacture OF
arms, they have carried into their sewing ma
chine They are made Of the best material
attainsble, andno labor or expense is spared
to finish them IN such way as to make them
do great deal more than is claimed for them,
The name Remington" is a sufficient guaran-
tee to any one who knows the company.
The company desire sgents IN every county
In the United States. We can say that the
machine, because of its excellence, Is good
one to handle, Ind OF the company that theil
employees are certain Of fair and liberal treat

Eugenie,a Corset-Tdaker.

Olive Logan writes some interesting
gossip about the ex-Empress Eugene
and her corset-maker, Madame Grin

dollars per pair was the price paid by
Eugene, and Gringoire would make
none for anybody under twenty dollars.

A pInmmoth DIsperfsnry.
From the st. Louis Republican

Among the notable physicians of this coun-
try, DR.. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, stands
deservedly high. He has obtained professional
eminence through strictly legitimate means,
and fully deserves the enviabie reputation
which he enjoys. A thorough and careful
preparation for his calling al extensive read
ing, during long and unusually large practice,
have made him extraordinarily successful IN
his private practice, and gained the common
dation even of his professional brethren. BY
devoting his attention mainly to certain spe-
cialties he has been rewarded in q very great
degree, and in these lines Is recognized as
leader. Not a few Of his preparations COM
pounded for these special cases have been
adopted and are used in their private practice
by physicians throughout the country, and his
pamphlets and larger works upon these sub
jects have been welcomed as valuable addi-
tions to medical literature, and placed among
the regular text-b books of many medical
schools. Acknowledgment of the services
which he has performed for medical science
has been made by presentations Of degrees
from two of the first medical institutions of
the land and by the translation of several of
his works into German, Spanish AID other
foreign languages. The increasing demand
for his specifics sometime since necessitsted
the opening of a regular dispensary for their
preparation, and from a small beginning the
business of this establishment has now grown
to mammoth proportions. Thus during the
three months ending March 81, 1874, the sum
expended for postage alone, not to speak
OF that paid on newspapers, amounted to
S2,OS0.7O. Over a hundred persons are en-
ployed in the various departments, and a
corps of able and skilled physicians are re-
tanned as an advisory board in difficult cases.
Elsewhere in the Republican whole page is
devoted to q communication from DIR. Pierce,

| tails of this vast establishment, which will be

Liberality of Israelites---Their Ma
tiOnal Platform of Belief

At the session of the Union of He
brew Congregations, held at Cleveland
July Il, 10 and 16, the following reso-
lutiOns were adopted
l. Because we believe with mistaken
faith and firmness in one indivisible
and eternal God; we also believe in the
common fatherhood of God and the
common brotherhood of men.
2 We glory in the sublime dsctrin of
religion, that the righteous of all ma
tions, without distinction of creed, will
enjoy eternal life and everlasting happi-
ness.
3. The divine command, the sublime
passage of the Bible, "Thou shalt love
thy fellow-man as myself" extends to
the entire human family, without dis
tinction of either race or creed.
l. Civil and religious liberty and the
separation of church and state, are the
inalienable rights of men, and we con-
slider them to be the brightest gem IN
the constitution of the United States.
3. We love and reverence this country
as our home and the fatherland for us
and our children, and therefore con-
slider it our paramount duty TO sustain
and support the government, and to
favor by all means the system of free,
unsectarian education, leaving religious
institutions to the care of the different
denominations.
6. We expect the universal elevation
and determination of the human family
to be achi, we'd by the naturFl means OF
science, morality, freedom, Justice and
truth.

LOVES CHOICE.

Do YOU remember, dear my love,
Our parting in the twilight lane,
When brighter than ths stars above
Your eyes shown through the dewy rain,
And made me say goodnight again,
And held me, that could not mover
Too fond TO grieve, too sad to smile,
yielded to their silent power;
And was it but q breathing while,
Or was il through speli-bounG hour,
kissed your face upturned flower,
Whose sweetness did my soul beguile
And then I said. 81 Farewell, my sweet
The hour has come, and We must part;
But through the long years ere We meet,
Which will you bear within your heart
To comfort you when depart
Remembrance, or oblivion feet?
"a memory Of AL the bliss
That made the flying hours 50 bright,
From the first tiIid, trembling kiss,
] dared 10 give you one dear night,
Lost in a vision OF delight,
Down to the perfect joy Of this2
a-Forgetfulness of al the pain
That hsppie5t lovers learn to know
The doubts that come and come again,
The haunting fears that viii not go,
The vague faint chill presaging woe
UnconquOred By loves proud disdain?
(which would you have, sweet Z? now decide
Forgotten pain remembered Joy?"
- All, dearest 2" then you said, and sighed,
"Love's pain is but brief annoy,
But rich delights that never cioy
Are to his memories allied.
% Then bid my heart loves joy retain,
And sum felicity in this,
That all its treasures still remain;
And till we meet aud live again,
You shall forget loves passing pain,
And I'll remember all its bliss?"

WHILE I was In Europe, stood in a
grand cathedral, admiring the paintings
and statuary, when friend called at
tention to the dome overhead. I looked
upward to the ceiling far above us, but
could see only a cloud like hue. Soon,
however, the confusion vanished, and
angelic faces were looking down upon
us from every part of the magnif-
cent dome. It was beautiful thought
of the artist. And so the cloud of wit
nesses gaze lovingly down upon every
worker of Christ. Sometimes I see only
clouds about me, but they melt away,
and can behold the saints, the loved
gone before me, with looks of encour-
agement and affection, filling the heav-
ems around and above me.-BisbOp

ARTIFICIAL HATcHING OF SmKwoRMs'
EGGs.-A very curious discovery has
been communicated by Susani, an Ital-
ian scientist, to the French society of
agriculturists, to the effect that the
Matching of silkwOrms' eggs may be ar
tifcially FASTENED by friction. The
process consists essentially IN brushing
the eggs vigorously for ten or twelve
minutes with a moderately hard brush,
made, preferably of coarse grass. In
less than fifteen DAYS the eggs thus
treated will hatch out with a product
as healthy as that obtained in the usual
way. A small proportion of the eggs
may prove refractory to this novel treat
ment, and yet in the spring even these
will hatch out earlier than those which
have been left to themselves. Susani
performed a series of experiments upon
about four-ffths of an ounce of silk
worms eggs, beginning on the LIST of
| August. They were brushed for ten or
| twelve minutes daily, and only about
ore-tenth of the whole number were
! lost. The first hatchings occurred on
! the 14th of the month, and were sue
| ceeded by others for seventy-two consec
utive days, the largest number Matched
on the ninth day following August 14th
| giving 112 worms. After this date the
hatchings decreased. From August
| 18th to September LIST 932 worms were
Matched out. From August 14th to
| November 14th l, 200 were born. Those
which came out during the first fifteen
days we're raised and prospeTed per-
fectly. Although it was found that tie
worms earliest Matched were not by any
means the healthiest. No satisfactory
hypothesis has yet been proposed to &C
count for the curious effect thus produ.
ced by friction upon these eggs but
new experiments are in course of execu
tior, and may lead TO something more
definite. Probably the discovery viii
be found to have important practica
bearings but much remains to be dom
in order to render it available.
