An INSTRUCTIVE EXPERIMENr---Ihe
principles in the circulation of the waters
of the sea. were beautifully shown before
the royal geographical society, recently.
by simple experiment. \ trough with
pls&e glass sides. about six feet long and
foot deep, but not more than one inch
wide, was filed with water. At one end
a piece of ice was wedged in between the
sides to represent the polar cold. while the
tropic heat was represented at the other
end by metal laid across the surface of the
water. the projecting end of which was
heated with a spirit lamp, Red coloring
matter was then put in the warm end. and
blue at the cold end, so that the currents
could be traced. The blue water, chilled
by contact with the ice, Immediately fell
down to the bottom. crept slowly along,
and gradually rose toward the surface of
the equatorial end. after which it gradu-
ally returned along the surface to the
starting point. The red water crept first
along the surface to the polar end. then fell
to the bottom just as the blue had done.
and formed another stratum. creeping back
again along the bottom and coming to the
surface Each color made A distinct circu-
lation during the half hour in which the
audience viewed the experiment.

THE FoX-HOUND.-The old savage ideal
of beauty was the lion, type of mere mas
sive force. That was succeeded by an over
civilized ideal, say the fawn, type of deli
cate grace BY cunning breeding and
choosing. through long centuries, man has
combined both, and has created the fox
hound, lion and fawn in one, just as he
might create noble human beings, did he
take half as much trouble about politics
Tin the true old sense of the word) as he
does about fowls. Look at that old hound
who stands doubtful; looking up at his mas
ter for advice. Look at the severity, deli
cacy, lightness, of every curve. His head
is finer than deer's; his hind legs, tense
as steel springs; his fore-legs straight as
ARROWS; and yet see the depth of chest, the
sweep of loin, the breadth of paw, the mass
of arm and thigh; and. if you have an eye
for form, look 1t the absolute majesty of
his attitude at this moment. Majesty il
the only word for it. If he were six feet
high, instead Of twenty three inches, with
what animal on earth could you compare
him? Is i not a joyto zee such thing

GERMANS RETURNING HoMe.-It is
stated that many Germans in this coun-
try are returning home. Letters sent
them from Prussia state that skilled
laborers are in great demand. and chat
wages now are greater than ever known.
Mechanics of the different trades are
receiving from ten to thirty forms pei
week where only one-third that sum
used to be paid. This rate, considering
the prices of rent, provisions, and living
generally, is equivalent to as many dol
lars here. Accomplished book keeperi
with large manufacturing companies art
receiving from 5000 to 10000 forms pei
year. Business is brisk throughout tn,
empire, and prosperity and plenty pre-
vail throughout the land. This is &C
counted for by the fact that while Ger

The election of Mr.. CASTOR to beGo.

the mortals of that State. Already the
Governor-elect is making a thorough
investigation of the public institutions

'old prohibitory and other sumptuary
laws preparatory to writing his inau-
gural message. This news is very re-
freshing to the souls of those who have
been for so many years unwilling wit

the maladministration and unfortunate

SCARCITY OF MoNEY.--lt ID really
amusing to read the effusions OF our
neighbor of the Republican. He seems
to think the Government can furnish
money at its pleasure-and insists that
more money is necessary to set the in
dustries in operation.
Now, ave are greatly IA need Of money.
But we cannot understand how the Gov
eminent can put any more in circulation
than it has been doing. The people are
certainly anxious that it should put less
in circulation-that is that the Govern
ment should be more economical and
expend less money. II certainly should
reduce expenses at least $l0O.O00,0OO a
year; and apply that much toward pay.
ing the national debt, or in reducing the
taxes on what all have to purchase.
But the greatest difficulty now is *
find employment that will pay. Our mas
ter mechanics are hard pressed to fine
work, and some of them are idle. w
have heard several say they could no
find use for money if they had it; ant
in fact we know that they could hav
secured the loan of money at a mer
fraction above six per cent. There is n
demand for new buildings and bushes
is so dull that no one cares to expen
money in repairing. In the country tn
times are quite as hard, if not wors
than in the cities. Fortunate is it, how
ever, for those who own farms and hav
them paid for, since they can, in mos
cases, raise enough to provide well fo
their families, even at the present To-
rates of grain and other products b
cause of the restriction placed uto
trade by heavy tariff duties.
These are hard facts which it is we
to look full in the face as the winter al
proaches, when nearly all will feel tt
pressure of heavy demands upon the
restricted resources.
