As soon as the Congressional chap
lain closes his appeal to the Throne
Of Grace there Is 3 eiappiDg Of hands
all over the door. It is the way
members have of calling pages TO
their side. Every Congressman be-
gins his days labor by giving an or
der to 3 messenger; hence the clapping
Is universal and uproariOus. "Well,
that beats me, said an elderly man
In the gallery, with mud on his boots,
which looked as though it had been
brought from the other side Of the
Potomac; ST don't see anything in
that prayer worth cheering"

ice to get into in case the ice broke
After he had craWled about half way
across, and was all tired and disour-
aged, he heard q noise behind him,
and, thinking the ice was breaking be
got on his knees, just as alcad Of wood
came up behind him. The lee was 9
foot thick, and some other runners
had played 1t on him. He Is search

Some Interesting Discoveries.

A monumental stone has been dis
covered In the Parahyba district, Peru,
bearing an inscription In clear Pboe-
nician characters, which narrates that
3 body Of Csnaanites left, ten centu-
ries before Christ, the port Of Azi0ng-
ahnn. fBnyalkAuEt and, ,aafesr uaz41z-
ting about the coast of Egypt for one
year, were thrown of their course by
currents, and eventually carried to
the present site of Gusyaquil, Peru.
The name Of the travellers, both male
and female, are also given. Another
discovery, Is that reported in Les
Aondes, Of three living mastodons,
by Russian conviets, in hitherto un-
explored parts Of Siberia. This does
not seem impossible when N. Dupont,
Of the Brussels Royal Academy states,
that the mastodon, like the reindeer,
is contemporary with the horse,
sheep and pig, and should not now be
extinct.

Five Hundred thousand Years at
IeaSt-SPeculatiOns OF Mr.. Alfred
RusSel Wallace.

I
In the issue Of Nature for October .
Mr.. Alfred Russell Wallace indaISes in
some speeulstions on the probable an-
tiqaity OF the human species, which
may well startle even those who have
long since come 20 the conclusion
tnat o,OOO years carry but 8 small way
BACK TO the original home In fact,
IN Mr. Wallaes's reekonings 5000
years are but 3 day. He begins by
complaining Of the timidity OF scien-
tine men when treating on this sub
Jeet, and points out the fallsey of al.
ways preferring the lowest estimate,
in order to be ION the safe sids.n He
declares that all the evidence tends to
show that the safe side Is probably
with the large figures. He reviews
the various attempts to determine the
antiquity Of human remains or works
OF art, and finds the bronze age in Eu-
rope 10 have been accurately fixed at
S,UUV 20 1, 200 years ago, the stone age
OF the Swiss lake dwellings at 900 to
1000 years "and an indefinite anter-
Tor period.n The burnt brick found
sixty feet deep In the Nile alluvium
indicates an antiquity Of @, 900 years;
another fragment at seventy-two feet
gives 30, 900 years. "a human skeIe-
ton found at depth Of sixteen feet
below four buried forests, superposed
upon each other, has been calculated
BY DIR. Dowler to have an antiquity of
5O,OOO year, But all these esti-
mates pale before those which Kent's
Cavern at Torqusy legitimates. Here
the drip OF the stalagmite is the chief
factor Of our computations, giving us
50 upper floor which ''divides the rel
les OF the last two or three years from
y deposit full OF the bones Of extinct
mammalia, many Of which, like the
reindeer, mammoth and glutton, in
dictate an arctic climate.u Names cut
into this stalagmite more than two
hundred years ago are still legibse; in
other words, where the stalaRmite Is
twelve feet thick, and the drip still
very eoptous, not more than o hum
dredth Of q foot has been deposited in
two centuries, q rate Of five feet in
10000. Below this, however, we
have thick, much older, more crys-
taline Il, e., more slowly formed) stall
agmite, beneath which again, sin
breecis, very different from the cave
earth, undoubted works OF art have
been found" Mr.. Wallace assumes
only 100, 600 for the upper floor, and
about go, 900 for the lower, and adds
150, 900 for the Immediate cave earth,
by which he arrives at the 'isum OF
half a million as representing the
years that have probably elapsed
since hints OF human workmanship
were buried IN the lowest deposits Of
Kent's Cavern. .n-The Nation.

Buffalo.

Buffalo, n. Y, is the quietest and
obscurest city in America. Few peo-
pie know that the census of 1870 gave
Erie county population of 1885, a
little more than half the population of
either st. Louis or Cook counties.
Buffalo can now Justly claim a popula-
ton of 100000. Add to this 60, 9SS in
the towns outside the city and we have
population in the city and county of
210,9SS. No part of this amount is
made up Of brag or swell. So we have
population about half as large as st.
Louis county or Cook county, Ill. Erie
county is Appropriated to the city by
numerous railroads, almost every town
being intersected by one or more roads.
The commerce is large the amount of
grain going to Buffalo by water and
rail exceeds 100000, 600 bushels-more
than goes to any other city in the coun-
try. The coal trade is first in impor-
lance of any interior city, and its in
crease is above fifty per cent. annually.
The manufacture of pig-iron is half as
large as st. Louis and larger than Chi
cago. The manufacture of stoves is
larger than either, and the leather
manufactures greatly exceed them

FlOgging Judas IscariOt.

In all parts of the world, wherever
Portuguese sailors find themselves,
they invariably. on Good Friday, go
through the ceremony of fogging Judas
Iscariot. In London, this year, on
Good Friday, the Portuguese and
South American vessels lying in the
London docks commemorated their
usual annual custom. At daybreak
block of wood, roughly carved, to imi-
tate the betrayer, clothed in sailors
suit, with red worsted cap on the
head, was hoisted by rope round the
neck into the fore-rigging. The crews
of the various vessels then went to
chapel; on their return, about IL a. m,
amid shouts and great jeering and de-
rision, the figure was lowered, cast into
the dock, and ducked three times, then
hoisted aboard, kicked round the deck,
and dashed to the capstan. The crew,
who had by this time worked them
selves into state of frantic excitement,
with knotted ropes proceeded to lash the
effigy, at first in body, then in pairs,
and kept up the fiogging until every
vestige of clothing had been cut to tat
tiers. During all this the ships bell
kept up an incessant clang, and the
Captains of the ships, looking on adj
miringly, served out goes of grog to the
exhausted men. Those not engaged in
the fiogging kept up sort of rude
chant, intermingled with epithets any
thing but complimentary to Judas. At
one o'clock the dummies were unlashed
and conveyed with much ceremony to
the galley, where they were burned
amidst the cheers of the sailors and the
crowd.
The Spectator, commenting on theper-
Torrance, says "A more barbarous
mode of commemorating the mild re-
proval, Judas, betrayest thou the Son
of Man with kiss 2 than ceremony,
the like of which Dickens invented to
express the preternatural malignity of
his hideous dwarf, Quilp, can hardly
be conceived. But Christianity itself
assumes, in different countries, shapes
at least as divergent as that of Dick
ems brutal dwarf, and that of the per-
feet man..

The Sixty Churches of Berlin.

1t would be interesting to inquire into
the precise number Of Christians who
attend the sixty churches of Berlin, con-
sidering that this imperial city is the
headquarters Of the Protestant army
now mustered for the final overthrow of
the Roman Catholic faith. The famous
English clergyman, Rowland Hill, once
told a story in the pulpit of how he had
met man in an ale-house who declaim-
ed furiously against the Bible. Row.
land Hill asked him if he had ever read
the Bible, and the man in the ale-house
said he had not read it because he did
not believe in it. A Berlin Professor of
European reputation told me frankly
that no educated German was believer
in revealed religion. Only some unedu-
Gated persons are believers of q most
energetic sort.
L have been given to understand,
upon good authority, that there are not
90, 600 regular worshipers in the sixty
churches of Berlin; and perhaps if they
are worshipers of the description above
mentioned, they are not much edited
by their devotions. There are now,
however, nearly. 1000, 900 inhabitants
in the Prussian capital, and though the
house of God is empty, the house of
Baal is full, and no city has more drink
ing shops of disreputable kind. 1t is
utterly ridiculous to talk of Church
and State at Berlin, for it is all State
and no Church there. A few persons of
the upper ten thousand, few of the
better class of tradesmen go to church,
nobody else goes, because the church is
not in fashion under military govern
ment Therefore all the social relations
of life are changed. Women for in
stance, at Berlin, do not marry because
they love a man they merely love him
because they have married him, and
they are not bound to obey the soldier
law of discipline. Correspondence N.

The Champion Corn Crop of Nebraska.

The soil and climate of Nebraska are
most favorable to farming. Indian
corn grows luxuriantly, and the smaller
cereals also thrive. The productions
of Nebraska do not appear in the United
States census reports before 1860 and
then the whole corn production of the
territory-which was much larger than
the State, its western limit being the
summit of the Rocky mountains-was
only ,4S2 $50 bushels. In 1870 the
corn crop of the State of Nebraska
the western limit of which is the base
of the Rocky mountains-was 4, 1885,
10 bushels and the agricultural re-
turns of the Department at Washington
for 1873 give the corn crop for that
year, which was a bad year for Indian
corn, at 81 900, 00e bushels.
These figures exhibit the rapid prog
ress of agriculture in Nebraska /; for
what may be said of corn is equally
true of other productions. In the fer
tile soil and genial climate of the State,
corn yields abundantly, and is a safe
crop. There are broken lands where,
year after year, the produce has aver
aged 80 bushels to the acre but this is
outdone by the champion corn crop OF
1873.
The affidavits on which the $50 pre-
MUM for 1873 was awarded, have just
been published by the State Board of
Agriculture. The owner was Magnus
NJ. Nelson, of Cass county. His
champion crop was grown on field of
thirty-five acres-the second crop on
the same ground, which was prairie
broken in 1871. The blowing cost Sl.25
per acre the planting As cents the
cultivating 81. So the harvesting $1.25
total expense per acre S4.75. The yield
was an average of 9ll bushels per acre,
which was certainly worth not less than
40 cents per bushel on the farm. The
variety of the corn was the Mahogany
and the weight 63 pounds to the bushel.
