Agitations like the present one are not new.
They are, indeed, of regular recurrence, and
it may be well if they evaporate without results
other than the stimulation of inquiry and dis

hibitory laws, the latest form of repressive en-

as on SO many other subjects, society, discov-

this point the supporters of the two sides OF

They who oppose prohibition accept the less
offensive notion of regulation and, meeting on
this ground, the combatants have registered
their truce in the laws. That truce is now
violated in the name of morality, and the law

Goss viii present Christianity in some OF its
practical aspects, and will indicate how it
can be brought more nearly and benefcially
to the masses of this city. Dr.. Ludlow will
give us the result of ''Studies from the Book
of Danier'-that book SO full of mysteries, in
which Second Adventists delight to revel and
of which men know so little and pretend to
know SO much. And then we have, as wind
up, "The Antichrist" considered by an apostle
who claims the line by Catholic descent from
the Apostles. He ought to know who Anti
christ is, where he came from, whittier he will
go and all about him. We presume he will
enlghten his hearers on these points, and
thus, perhaps, ease the minds of many.

SIR GARNET WoLsELEY has done his work
and returned home to receive all the honors
which the British people delight to pay to
successful soldiers. Yesterday London gave
him a grand ovation, and thousands upon
thousands turned out to see the conqueror as
he passed. His reception by the Lord Mayor
was a magnificent affair. Sir Garnet is the
hero OF the day, and England seems pleased
with the thought that, after all, she has SOL
diers who can fight and win. The 'more
vigorous foreign policy is likely to receive
some encouragement from this Ashantee affair.

The Paris HippOdrOllle.

The Hippodromo of Paris, Which
was burned to the ground some years
ago, is about to rise from it's ashes.
The restoration of this great circus,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, will be a
boon to the lower class in Paris, who
delighted in the performances ut the
old establishment. These, indeed,
amused every body in one way or an
other, since, although on a large; nay,
magnificent scale, they resembled those
Thespian efforts at village fairs which
please by their native and graccs their
incongruities as much as more serious ex-
hibitions of dramatic talent and effect.
Among the attractions of the Hippo.
drome was at one time, series of bull.
fights, at which the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
might have taken reserved seats. The
bulls followed the toreadores about
like pet lambs, and were on terms OF
perfect amity with the whole staff Of
picadore, chulos, banderilleros, &C.,
down to the matador, whose cou1, az
grace was innocuous. Spanish visitors
sometimes objected that the spectacle
was tame and deficient in color, but ne
one needed them. This primitive
place of entertainment would, on ont
occasion, have been the scene of fright
full disaster but for the presence O.

enormous python escaped from it's cage
in the arena during crowded per
formance, and started toward the au

each other to death in their terror, hat

Tho Bamboo Tree.

Probably this tree subserves more
purposes of usefulness than any other
in the whole range of nature. The In
dian obtains from it part of his food.
many of his household utensils. and O
wood at once lighter and capable of
bearing greater strains than heavier
timber of the same size. Besides, in
expeditions in the tropics under the
rays of a vertical sun, bamboo trunks
have more than once been used us bar
rels, in which water, much purer than
could be preserved in vessels of any
other kind, is fresh for the crew. On
the western coast of Southern Asia, the
bamboo furnishes all the materials for
the construction of houses, Mt once
pleasant, substantial and preferable to
that of stone, which the frequently re-
curing earthquakes bring down npon
the heads of the owners. The fact
that the bamboo is hollow has made it
eminently useful for IL variety Of pur-
poses-lt serves as measure for
liquids, and if fitted with lid and a
bottom, trunks and barrels are quite
frequently made Of it. Even small
boats very often arc made of the largest
trunks by strengthening them with
strips of other wood where needed, In
one day they obtain the height of sew
eral feet, and with microscope their
development can be easily Watched.
But the most remarkable feature
about the bamboo is their blossomine.
With all this marvellous rapidity Of
growth they bloom only twice in CEN
ury, the flower appearing ut the end of
ility years. Like other grasses, they die
after having borne seed. Tho highest
of the bamboo is the Sammot. In
tracts where it grows in tho greatest
perfection. it sometimes rises to the
height OF one hundred feet, with stem
only eighteen inches in diameter at the
base. The wood itself is only al inch

LOCuStS in Algeria.

An Algerian paper, says the London
Echo, gives an interesting account of a
struggle between the farmers of the
colony.an one of the most tremendous
swarms of locusts that have ever de-
scendcd upon the plains ofAlgeria. As
soon as the distant cloud of invaders
was perceived, every effort was made
by the terrified agricultnrists to prevent
the descent of the hungry myriads upon
their pastures, while on the other hand,
the locusts were equally determined to
alight and take refreshments, In order
to keep the insect host in the higher
strata of the atmosphere, where a
change of wind might at any moment
carry them away, the farmers lit fires
with damp weeds, and by collecting all
their kitchen utensils, ringing all the
bells, and shouting at the top of their
voices, they produced such q concert
of hideous sounds that, for a time, the
locusts preferred famine to the din.
and remained in the air but ut length
hunger and fatigue overpowcred them,
and they decided on Drawing the worst
and falling to the ground, when the
green fields and tress suddenly turned
yellow under the multitude which in
stantly covered them. All through the
night was heard one continuous and por-
tentous sound that of myriads Of invisible
jaws engaged in mastication-and next
morning the battle recommended, but
the latest advices are Of discouraging
nature, us they report that the locusts
are engaged not only in eating, but in
laying eggs.

\ French writer, who has evidently
given the subject careful st,dyrcccntly,
arrives at the conclusion that tho horse

Northern Asia, where the wild repre-
scnt,tives of the race arc still found.
These arc known by the name of "tar-
pans" never going further south than
the Both parallel, and always returning
to the north during tho summer. He
states also that these Tartar tarpans are
beyond all doubt the type Of our equine
races, and cites as the evidence of it,
the flc5 that the alzados of America
brought over by the Spaniards are exact
reproductions Of that type, in form, size
and characteristics. Like the tnrpans,
the aIzados arc small, have coarse heads
and limbs; have long ears thrown well
back and arc covered with coarse hair.

Lake 7'ificac0.

This is the most singular and into
resting lake in the world. Situated on
the crest of the Andes, 1t is the highest
large body of fresh water; and rs con-
current traditions point to it as the spot
where Nance Capac, the first Inca,
appeared and woke the aboriginal tribes
from their long sleep Of barbarism and
ignorance, it is the historic center of
South America. Humboldt called it
the theater of the earliest American
civilization. On al island within it arc
the imposing ruins of the temple Of the
sun, and all around it are monuments
which attest the skill and magnificence
of the Incas. There are also, as at
Tiahuanaco and Silustalli, the remains
OF burial towers and places, which
antedatc the crusade, and are there
