MISCELLANEOUS.

Chas. Summers estate has beensvp-
praised at S134,7 ,754.
Elmer @. Washburne, of Chicago,
has been formally commissioned by Secretary
Bristow as chief of the secret service bureau.
Col. Wingate, captain of the Ameri-
| can company has sent letter to the comman-
der of the Irish team, formally accepting the
challenge for match at Dublin next year.
The secretary of the treasury has di-
rected the assistant treasurer at New York to
sell $500, 900 gold on each Thursday during
October The total amount to be sold is %,
| 500, eco.
In reply to letter asking information,
o. H. Kelley, secretary of the national grange,
says the granger mortgage bank, lately adver-
tised in New York, is not endorsed by the ma
tional grange, nor is it recognized by the ex-
| ecutive committee in any shape whatever
Reports received at the agricultural
department show that the wheat crop will av-
erage that of last year. None of the large
corn producing states reach an average.
There viii be a fair crop of oats, potatoes and
hay, but less than half crop Of tobacco.
The national bank resumption agency
has called upon the national banks, within the
last six days, for about S4 $50 600 in legal ten
der notes, to reimburse it for their notes re-
deemed. Other calls Will follow at the rate
of about $500 600 per day, until sufficient legal
tenders shalI have been received to Justify
the resumption of redemption The date of
resumption will depend somewhat upon the
promptness with which the banks respond 10
the call.
At a meeting of the depositors of the
Freedman's bank, last week, Robert Puryis,
colored, one of tho commissioners appointed
to wind up its affairs, said he would at an ad-
journed meeting make a statement OF its af-
fairs which would not probably be as favorable
as that hitherto published nor would il be so
bad as represented by those who III connection
with il had taken advantage of the fears and
necessities of depositors, who have sold their
deposits at a heavy discount.
Attorney General Williams has sent
the following circular to United States mar
shals in the southern states: " Sir-I would
suggest that at those points where United
States troops are or may be stationed in your
district some prudent and fearless person, in
whose judgment you have confidence and
whom the people respect, may be appointed as
deputy marshal to act at once in the arrest OF
parties committing outrages in that vicinity,
so that it msy not be necessary in such cases
to send for You before the troops can be used
for the purpose of arresting those who are
guilty of violating the laws of the United
States. This, of course, will not be necessary
where you are easily accessible, but where
troops are placed at remote points, before the
necessary communication of the crimes COM
mitted can be made the offenders, as gen
eral rule, have an opportunity to escape. You
viii give the deputies the necessary instruc-
tions as to procuring warrants, and I need not
repeat it is important you should delegate
this power to none but careful and respon-
sible persons"

Scott and BuIWer.

Scott painted the external man he
seldom troubled to seek for the mo-
tive and the cue for passion" He did
not care 10 trace the subtle thought
from its germ until it stood forth a
thing. Ia the novels of Lord Lytton
the physical man is ever subservient to
the mental-the mind of character is
more prominent than his actions. No
two writer's, psychOlogically considered,
were more dissimilar than these great
masters, to whom, as pioneers, prose
fiction is chiefly indebted for its over
whelming supremacy in the literature
of the present day. The excellences
Of the one are the weakness of the
other. Much of this similarity must
be ascribed to the diverse influences
under which they began to write. Scott
was forty years old when his first Novel
appeared, Bulwer was in his teens.
The formers more romantic vein of
thought had been already worked out
in poems. He was a member of the
most anti-rGmantic of professions,
conservative in all things, little infu-
enced by the new school of ideas which
had arisen out of the chaos of the
French revolution he was essentially a
man of the pre-TevOlutiOnary period,
the barriers of which he never seemed,
intellectually, to have crossed. Bull
Wer was the brilliant man of fahsion-
restless, errat C, fond of strsying out of
the social grooves into the wilderness
of life now the cYnosure of the draw
ing room, now the solitary pedestrian,
wandering amid the widest scenes of
Italy or Switzerland, or the companion
of horde of gypsies an enthusiastic
disciple of the new prophets, imbued
with the brilliant radicalism of France,
the mysticism and metaphysics of Ger
many, and the sensuous, passionate
poetry Of which Byron, Shelley, and
Keats we're the high priests. Scott
half despised the art of novel writing.
He wrote to satisfy no inward sense of
artistic beauty-nOt to embOdy the
teeming forms of a shadow-haunted
brain, but to build Abbotsford he
wrote that which would sell best. On
the other hand, Bulwer held the art of
the novelist second TO none. Writing
was to him a necessity strong as speech
the outpourings of soul overhowing
with passion that would have utterance.
No man was ever more eager for dis
tinction-yearned more for fame and
appreciation yet to obtain them he
never departed from the ideal artistic
standard which he had fixed in his
mind. While Sir Walter Scott gov
erned his literary pursuits by the same
law that obtains in commercial transac-
tions, Lord Lytton-to judge by several
of his works which were written under
the full conviction that they would
evoke a storm of hostile criticism-be-
lieved that art should be amenable only
to its own laws; but to those laws he
bowed submissively. Thus each Of his
great works is like some delicious strain
of concerted music in which the har-
monies and counter harmonies, the va
rious instruments and the opposing
parts, blend in one delicious whole
Temple Bar.

SpirituaIism and Science.

Speaking of the opinions on Spiritu-
alism recently advanced by Mr.. A. r.
Wallace, the Churchman says Hither-
to Christian men have not been in
clined to say much on the subject, hard
ly believing that any large number of
intelligent persons could be deluded by
it. But it is becoming apparent that
scientific infdelity has no defense
against it. Men eminent as studen' e
of physical phenomena, but disbelieveTs
II God and Immortality, are very likely
to be taken IN the snare. Beginning
with the denial Of the supernatural,
they are confronted with phenomena
they cannot explain, and readily pass
from an extreme of unbeiief TO an ex-
treme of credulity. The instincts of
men are stronger than their philosophy,
and they who find no God In nature,
and trace their origin to the beasts, can
not quench their longings for immortal
ity. They must have some sort OF a
heaven, and the revelations of spirits,

ireland as She Is.

The population Of Ireland decreased

1S41-51, by 775, ,S14 in the next decade,
and by 396, POS between the years 1861

decrease by the end of the present de-
cade viii have wholly ceased, that Is,
that the emigration will not exceed the
natural increase Of population. The
condition of tbe country If now really

vanced in consequence of the limited

Hard Water is wholesome.

DR.. Letheby, after devotiug many
| years to an investigation into the prop
critics of the water introduced into Eng
lish cities, and to q study of the sani-
| tary reports on the subject. comes TO
| the conclusion that moderately hard
water is safer and more he9lthfuI than
soft water. Hard water Is not only
clearer. colder, more free from air, and
| consequently more agreeable to the eye
and to the taste than soft water, but is
less liable to absorb organic substances.
to sustain the life of zymotic organism,
or to exert solvent properties upon salts
of iron or upon leaden conducting
pipes. The lime salts exert bene fetal
influence upon the animal economy and
even protect the system from dangerous
outward influences. DR.. Wilson, OF
Edinburgh, has also collected much val
liable material on the subject, and comes
to the same conclusion as DR.. Letheby.
He takes the ground that the human
body requires for its nourishment and
support q supply of certain mineral
salts, among which carbonate and phos-
phate of lime play On important part In
building up the compaotness of the
bones and in other functions. We usu.
ally observe phosphate of lime IL our
animal and vegetable food, but not
from the water we drink. Carbonate of
lime, however, is not contained In ade-
quate quantity in our solid food, but
generally obtains In spring and well
water.
It has been incontsstibly shown that
in mountainous districts, where tho wa
ter is more or less hard, the inhabitants
exhibit the best physical development.
On the other hand, it is believed that
in large C ties the mortality is inversely
as the hardness of water supplied to
the inhabitants. A water which CON
ta1ns about six grains of carbonate of
lime to the gallon Is suitable for use in
all household purposes. AS drink and
for cooking food, such q water offers the
necessary carbonate of lime for the sup
port of life in the simplest, most nat
ural and most easily digested form, and
is at the same time more agreeable,
fresh and sparkling. 1t is evident that
our preconceived popular notions on the
subject of hard water need revising,
and that it may be better to use such
water than to have recourse to rain or
ice water.

Mr.. Whitman, producing a bapk note
for fifty dollars. "You see, therefore,
that am we'll provided for the present,
as your kindness when l was first in
jured has prevented my running in

For some minutes the committee
made no reply. The "doctor's bill"
had turned out so differently from what
they expected that they were quite dumb
with astOnishment.
At length, however, Squire Benton
out that he was quite sure
the neighbors would insist upon Mr..
Whitman's g keeping what had been con-
tributed to him, and there would be
ways enough to spend it in his large
family. As to the doctor, he was free
to say that he had been mistaken in him,
and for one he would bear witness that
he had behaved handsomely, as became

There was a terrible cloud-burst on

out, and an emigrant train, drawn by two en-
gines, went into tho chasm. Both engineers
were instantly killed. No others injured.
The superintendent of the Central
Pacific railroad publishes a card in which he
tacitly admits the truth of the frequent
stories OF robbery and outrages by gamblers on
their road ia Nevada but says travellers must
protect themselves by refusing to play at any
game with tho sharps. He does not allude to
statements that entire passenger trains had
been captured by robbers near Reno. the pas
