A contributor to Chambers Journal gives
the following facts relating to the altitude
at which men can live 'In July, 1872,
he and Mr.. Coxwell ascended ina balloon
to the enormous height of $4,000 feet.
Previous to the start, Mr.. Glashier's pulse
stood at rs beats a minute, Coxwell's at "a.
AT II, 600 feet the pulse of the former was
at "a, that of the latter at 100. At 1900
feet Glaishers hand and lips were quite
blue, but not his face At 81, 600 feet he
heard his heart beating, and his breathing
became oppressed at $4,000 feet he be-
came senseless, Notwithstanding which, the
aeronaut, in the interest of science, went
up another 8 600 feet, till he could no long,
er use his bands, and had to phil the
strings of the valve with his teeth. Aero
nauts whohave to make NO exertions have,
of course, great advantage over members
OF the Alpine Club, and those who trust
their legs even at Is, 600 feet these climb
ers feel very uncomfortable, more so in the
the Alps, it seens, than elsewhere. Atths
Monastery of st. Bernard, silly feet high,
the monks become asthmatie, and are COM

breath of fresh air and, at the end of ten
years service, are obliged to/give up their
high living, and come down TO their usual
level. AT the same time, in South America,
there are towns, such as Potosi, placed as
high as the top of Mont Blanc, the inhabi-
tants of which feel no Inconvenience. The
highest inhabited spot in the world is,
however, the Buddhist Cloister of Hanle,
in Thibet, where twenty zone priests live at
an altitude of 10000 feet The brothers
Schlagintweit, when they explored the
glaciers of the Ibi- Gamin in the same coun-
try, encamped at 81 900 feet, the highest
altitude at which European ever passed
the night. Even at the top of Mont Blanc,
Professor Tyndall's guides found it very
unpleasant to do this, though the professor
himself did not confess to feeling 80 bad as
they. The highest mountain in the world
is Mount Everest (Himalaya), 29,0O3 feet,
and the condor has been seen twinging the
blue air. 500 feet higher. The air, by-the-
by, is net blue or else, as De Saussure
pointed out, the distant mountains which
are covered with snow would appear blue
also > its apparent color being due to the
reflection of light. What light can do,
and does, is marvellous and not the least
ls its power of attraction to humanity.D

Will the Next Congress be Democratic
Ewashington CorrespOndenoo N. Y r,mo,,

washington Correspondence N. Y. Times
since the announcement of the result of
the elections in Indiana and Ohio, there
has been an active canvass by politicians,
both democratic and Republican, of the
probabilities of the remaining elections,
especially for Congressman. There is no
attempt by Republicans to disguise the
fact that there is not little danger of the
democrats securing the control OF the next
Aouse Of Representatives,. There win be
needed by the Democratic the gains to be
made by defeating altogether fifty three or
nfty- four Representatives of districts now
Republican. They have, in the elections
already held, gained sixteen, and a further
gain OF thirty five, or certainly thirty. sig.
WilI change the majority of the next Hause.
me democrats count on carrying all the
Districts of the South now represented by
Repubiicans, except a few of those which
are permanently and strongly Republican by
reason of tho prepopderance of the colored
vote. This would give them further gain
Of twenty at least. These anticipation are
Pf0oaoty too great, but it is not unrenson-
able to concede them in the South a gain
OF fifteen. There will be required a further
gain of twenty, for which they must look
largely To Pennsylvania and Illinois,

2, COOP SUGGESTION TO THE Yo6Na
LADIEs.-We cannot too highly praise the
thoughtfnlness and practical charity, as
well as the unselflsh sacrifice of the Sisters
ofCharity of st. Paul's, Brooklyn. They
nave recently resolved to deprive them
selves of some hours of their short recrea-
ton on Sundays To teach reading and
writing to such of the servant girls of the
parish as have not had a previous oppor-
tunity of learning. Many of these girls
have already availed themselves of these
opportunities. We commend this work for
limitation, not merely by nuns, who indeed
require all the recreation they can get, but
also by the accomplished young women
who yearly graduate from our numerous
convents.-BrOokiy~ Catholic Revieto.

Speaking Of the impossibility Of expeekz
Ing to prevent entirely the smugglinu a.
goods from Southern France into the North !.
ern part of Spain, which Germany insists
that the French must do in order to crippl.l
the Carlists, the New York Woyld says:
The people of the French and Of tb9
Spanish Basque provinces are of one racey
and they have been accustomed for centu-y
ries to consider the smuggler not a. e
criminal at all, but rather in the Iiqht IN
which so respectable person as General
Peyronnet Thompson insists upon regard
ing him, as the knight Grant OF CON-
merce." The contrabandists of the PvrW.

with no more thought of the influence bis

alliance France made tremendous efforts
all the way from Hendage to Bedous along
the frontiers of the Lower Pyrenees tc pre-
vent precisely such traffic as is now COM
planned of. But the Basques, French and
Spanish, laughed at all her efforts then as
they are laughing at all her efforts now.
That the expectation of arms and military
material over the French frontier at this
time is nearly as considerable as it then
was there is no sort of reason to believe;
but this is simply because the Carlists Of
Spain have surer and quicker ways of re-
,eiving the supplies they need. England,
Belgium, and Germany are daily sending
arms and munitions of war by sea to the
small Basque ports of Spain, which are all
1ow in the power of the insurgents. All

1t is well that all we say is not written
down-not only because some of it might
be rather against US, but because there
would not be room for it. John 81, 25.)
A curious Frenchman has lately been
making calculation, which is, that man
talks on an average three hours day, at
the rate of about twenty nine octave pages
an hour. This would make eighty seven
pages a day, about six hundred a week,
which would amount to ffty-two good
sized volumns every yesrl And then,
multiplying this by the number of years in
a mans life, what library he would have
if it should all be printed! And, too, how
very little of the whole would be worth
preserving, and how much he would be so
glad if it had been left unsaid

Defiant Offenders To BE Brought Up by
the Grand Jury.
Several dozens Of complaints have been entered
against keepers OF saloons, cigar shops, &C., who
kept open on Sunday in Newark in bold defiance
OF the law as announced by the authorities some
DAYS before. The two most nagrant cases are those
OF Frederick Waldmann, in Market street. and
Louis Fruehinfeld, In Plane street. Waldmann
keeps the largest beer saloon In Newark and on
Sunday did thriving business. On Satur-
day he actually called on the police magis-
trate and offered to pay $40 fine in
advance. II was refused and Waldmann ad-
monished that the fine was not the only peualty
he was liable to. An attempt was maze 10 get up
a mass meeting OF saloon men, TO comDlne anu re-
sisu the law, but it failed, most OF the dealers Deing
satisfied that the time had come when IL was no
use kicking against the prcks Besides, many re-
jotced at having day at home In peace anu qulet-
ness. The other dener, Fruehinield, appears 10
have gotten himself into rather serious trouble.
He caused to be published in the local German
prints advertisement setting iortn tnat the

proved to be a theatrical performance. Louis was

fore the Grand jury to answer charge OF mis-
demeanor, under which the proceedings above
referred to are set down as sacrllege. Louis ap
pears to have regarded the thing as huge Joke
