THE EARTH's AGE.-Dr. Herman J.
Klein has Just published, at Cologne, a
somewhat curious inquiry concerning
the age of the earth, IN which he Sc
verely criticizes the attempts of the ge-
ologists to compute the length of time
required for certain formations. Thus
Biddle calculates the age of the Missis-
sippi Delta, from the amount of the
present yearly deposit, to be four hun
dred thousand years Lyle, the reced-
ing of the Niagara Falls from Kingston
to their present site TO be thirty-fiv
thousand years, and Bisch0f the time
for the formation of coal to nine mil
lions of years. But all these and nu-
merous other similar calculations have,
DIR. Klei0 thinks, this faul5 that they
are all based upon present conditions
and experiments on a small scale, from
which conclusions are drawn TO deter
mine general developments of the most
gigantic dimensions.

EFFECTS OF OSCILLATION scientific
writer has recently collated a group of
facts illustrative of the effect of oscilla-
tion of powerful bodies when not fre-
quently broken by vibration. In cross
ing large suspension bridges it is es-
teemed that professions should break
step in order to insure safety; and it is
told, IN illustration, that when the first
suspension bridge was building in En-
gland, fiddler offered to demolish it
with his fiddle. Striking one note after
another, he eventually hit the vibrating
note or fundamental tone, and threw
the structure into extraordinary vibra-
tions. Only recently a bridge went
down IN France under the tread of a
regiment of infantry who neglected tc
break step on entering it. Three hun
dred persons were drowned. The ex-
pertinent of breaking tumbler or other
glass vessel by frequent repetitions of
some particular note of the human
voice belongs TO the same class of phe-
nomena.

THE SANITARY CAMPAIGN.

We are glad to observe among our
CITY officials some signs of interest in
the coming summer campaign against
filth. We noticed a party Of sanitary
scouts accommodating yesterday. They
discovered the enemy occupying several
of our alleys in force, and are devising
means to dislodse him. There is some
thing Of a disproportion IN the army of
reform, between the number Of officers
and the rank and file who must prove
their chivalry by shovelry. We hope
this defect of organization will be
remedied. Aggressive measures cannot
be taken too promptly. Soon the enemy
will have a powerful allyn the sun. We
would do well to adopt the Napoleonic
strategy-meet each separately, before
the junction is formed-subdue the
filth, and then face the fiery cavalry of
Apollo. If we allow the enemy to join
his forces. there viii be confusion in our
ranks: half the garrison viii desert this
most. and we'll have another Bull Run
stampede Iikelast June Metaphor aside,
the contingency OF cholera reappearing
IN Nashville this summer cannot well
be ignored. While hopingfor the best
there exists sufficient incentive for that
healthy degree of self-possessed feal
which induces thorough preparation
The danger would be immeasurably
diminished by such an energetic
cleansing Of our thoroughfares and by
WAYS now. as was carried out last sum
mer under a July sun. After the
besom of destruction swept us last

THE Brelrers' and Liquor Dealers
Advocate, published in Pittsburgh, in
an article entitled Another Irrepress-
ible Conflict" compares the war upon
intemperance to that upon slavery, and
says: 'The original 'irrepressible con-
flict' was precipitated upon the country
by the priests and the politicians, and,
though apparently between freedom
and slavery, was really between fanati-
cism and prejudice; and, as in almost
all similar cases, fanaticism triumphed. i"
1t is rather singular that the temper
ance crusade should awaken Northern
people to a realization of the fact that
it was fanaticism and not love of free
dom OF regard for the slave that
brought on our late civil war. But
truth is at last asserting its sway.
The article in the AdUOcate calls on the
''malsters, brewers, distillers, druggists
and dealers in liquor" to organize; and
asserts that "a- national association,
combining the liquor dealers of the
United States, can successfully resist a
world Of women in arms" While the
"bugle blast comes from Pennsylva-
MIA, one of the features of the temper
ance movement In Ohio, is the fact that
the brewers of ale and beer, and the
manufacturers Of native wines, as well
as those who retail those beverages ex-
clusively, are moving upon the munich

in their revocation of the sentence
and the suppression of the scandals:
AS soon as the finding Of the court OF
inquiry and the sentence OF dismissal
were made known to HURT, he got ugly
and swore that he was not going to be
made a scapegoat of, and if the attempt
should be made he declared he would
expose everything. This threat led
those who had been associated with
HURT in the frauds to set themselves
about procuring his pardon. Accord
ingly Judge Advocate Burnett. before
whom the case was tried, addressed
letter 20 Judge Advocate General Holt,
indorsed by all the members OF the
commission that tried HURT, asking
for his pardon and release, or rather
asking Judge Holt to join IN recon-
mending Hurtt to the clemency OF the
President. When he received this let
ter. Holt declared that he did not I'M
derstand it; he said he could not see
any reason why a man whose oifense
naturally pointed out the road to the
penitentiary as his proper thorough
| fare. should be recommended for Glenn
ency, when he had already gotten on
with a mild sentence OF dismissal.
Shortly after this, however, Holt had
an interview with some Ohio politicians,
whereby he was enabled to see his way
clear, and finally general compromise
was effected and HURT appeased and
silenced. 1t was hardly to be supposed
that two men welding the power that
John Sherman and Henry d. Cooke
have welded, would permit such a vol
cano as there was in this testimony to
shoulder under their feet in the re-
cords of the war Office if they could
help it. Thus a search yesterday among
the files of the war department re-
vealed the important fact that the orig
inal copies of these documents, or that
portion of them most seriously affect
ing Cooke and Sherman, were not to
be found in the appropriate place. Part
of the papers were there, but only that
part which related to the proceedings
subsequent to the taking of testimony
by the court-martial. The balanc:
were missing. 1t would not be discreet
nor would it be Just to Secretary Belk'
nap, to say, yet a while, that these pa,
pers have been destroyed. The chart
table supposition is that they have been
mislaid, and Gen. Belknap IS entitled
to the benefit of this supposition until
after he shall have failed to produce
them in answer to resolution of the
House of Representatives, which vii!
be shortly forthcoming. Officers OF
the War Department say that the pa
pers were all in the files Of the depart.
ment shortly before the beginning o.
the present session of Congress. How
evef, even if they have disappeared
there is sufficient authenticity in the
copies published by Gen. Boynton tC
answer every purpose, and besides the
papers yet on file In the War Depart
ment embrace the correspondence be
tween Burnett and Holt, and it NIGH
become necessary for Holt to vindicat'
himself by showing up the other par
ties in the mitigation of Hurts sen
tence."

TILE NEW DEPARTURE.

A call is published in the Morrlstoion
Gazette for convention OF 'colored
voters of the first congressional dis
trict, to be held at Bulls Gap, Greene
county, on the 1st of May. FOrty-fOur
names are attached to the call, but
there is nothing to indicate the coun-
ties in which these persons reside. The
object for which this convention is
called is stated to be ''to take steps
tending to" their Gown political inter
ests and welfare, +" believing that they
are sufficiently numerous IN this dis
trict to warrant them in making a sug-
gestion as to their preference in politi-
cal matters" They claim the right to
voice in selecting candidates for Office,
and declare emphatically:
at is not right. it Is not in accord
ance with the dignity of freemen, nor
in keeping with the spirit of American
institutions that we should vote for any
man or set of men who deign not to
notice us except when they want our
suffrages. 1t Is high time that we
should be up and doing-that we should
| look about US and seewho reOur friends,
and who does most in our respective
counties and towns, to advance our
social interests and our welfare as citi-
zens. + = 1t is notproposed that
we shall, as a unit, support any man or
any party regardless of our individual
preferences and sympathies, but to act
In every instance in local and county
elections, where we are called upon to
act as becomes men and freemen-des-
pite the beck or bidding of those who
would use us for their own selfish pur-
pose"
There are about $4,000 voters in the
first congressional district, and only
about 1000 of these are negroes. Very
few of the latter ever vote the Demo
cratic ticket, so their menace, for such
it is, is directed against the Repubh-
cans who have used them ''for their
own selfish purposes" They may scare
the Republicans into making some con-
cessions to them, but it Is extremely
doubtful. There appears to be some
thing of general movementamong the
negroes in this State in the direction
indicated in this call. The negroes
seem to have become FESTIVE under
their treatment by the Republicans,
and are making show of fight. What
it Will amount to remains to be seen.

comparing the works of Mr.. Potter
Palmer, Of that city, with those of
Shakespeare. 1t admits that Mr.,
Palmer probably could not write so
splendid a tragedy as Hamlet or Mac
beth were he to spend al his life IN

Shakespeare never conceived of such a
hotel as the Palmer House, or of such
buildings for business purposes as Pot

builded." Well, there is something in
