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

At the session of the Union of He
brew Congregations, held at Cleveland
July IA, 10 and 10, the following reso-
lutioDs were adopted
/. Because we believe with mistaken
faith and frmness 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 doctrin 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, "Tbou shalt love
thy fellow-man as myself" extends to
the entire human family, without dis
tinction of either race or creed.
4 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.
5. 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 suppgrt the government, and to
favor by all means the system of free,
education, leaving religious
institutions to the care of the different
denominations.
6. We expect the universal elevation
and differentiation of the human family
TO be achi, we'd by the natural means Of
science, morality, freedom, justice and
truth.

Eugenie's Corset-Maker.

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

perial patronage, the custom of Grin
goire became fabulous in extent. Forty
dollars per pair was the price paid by
Eugene, and Griugoire would make
none for anybody under twenty dollars.

something About Cloud bursts.

Within the last few years the break
ing of water-5pOuts-if that is a proper
name for the phencmenOn-Iike that
which desolated a town in Nevada last
week, has been frequently noticed. Nor
is it Conhoed to mountainous districts.
A few years ago a water-spouf, 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 disas ter 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
streams perfectly dry are commonan
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. i 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 n food
coming down the valley OF Cherry
creek, of which the inhabitants had had
no previous warning. a cloud had
burst on the side of the mountain so
Tar distant that no sign OF its existence
could be discerned, and spilled its con-
tents into the upper valley of Cherry
creek. This creek hal been dry for
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 of
Denver. The flood struck the town
shortly after midnight, and in an in
stant of time swept off every vestige
of human habitation aud handicraft il
the old bed of the creek and adjSsa
thereto, destroying many hSei
large amount of property, WIN
hurled into The South Platte, whicha
ter stream was raised several feet in o
few minutes.
Probably nothing can be done to
ward off the calamitIes that often re-
suit from 'cloud-bursts or water
spouts, but they are worthy of careful
study. Some rules may possibly be
drawn from the appearances of the
clouds, by which people whose homes
may be located in the valley liable to
inundation may be warned in time to
reach a place of safety. The phenome-
non of a cloud burst consists of the
sudden, perhaps instantaneous, con-
low Of Cuapfifr rf
moisture in the atmosphere by coming
in contact with the cold side of a mount
ain, or with current of cold air. It is
not improbable. that the awful disaster
at Pittsburg on Saturday was identical
in its nature with the cloud-bursts of
Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada.-C

ARTIFICIAL HATCHINa OF SILKwORNIs'
EGGs.-A very curious discovery has
been communicated by Suseni, an Ital-
ian scientist, to the French society of
agrieulturists. to the effect that the
Matching of silkworms' eggs NAV be ar
officially FASTENED by friction. The
process consists essentially IL brushing
the eggs vigorously for ten or twelve
minutes with moderately hard brush,
made, preferably of coarse grass. In
less than fifteen DAYS the eggs thus
treated will hatch cut with a produSY
as healthy rs that obtained in the usual
way. a small proportion of the eggs
may prove refractory &c this novel treat
ment, and yet n the spring even these
will batch 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 1st of
August. They were brushed for ten or
twelve minutes daily, and only about
ore-tenth of the whole number were
lost The Rrst hatchiDgs occurred on
the 18th 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 18th
giving 112 worms. After this date the
hatchings decreased. From August
18th to September LIST 932 worms were
Matched out. From August 18th to
November 14th !, 200 were born. Those
which came out during the first fifteen
days were raised and prospered per
fectly. Although it was found that the
worms earliest Matched were not by any
means the healthiest. No satisfactory
hypothesis has yet been proposed to ac-
count for the curious eff ct 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 will
be found to have important practical
bearings but much remains to be done
in order to render it available.
