tiition of the colored people in the South.
Able speeches were made by Peter FL. Clark
Col Robt. Harlan ID. w. Bell and others. A
preamble and resolutions were adopted re-
citing that q condition Of lawlessness and
violence exists in Louisiana and other parts Of
the South, which seems to spring chiefly
from prejudice against freedmen, and is cal
'cplated to DO great injury to the whole coun-
try, and if continued may involved the nation
III a civil war; approving all lawful efforts to
maintain peace aud preserve the lives, proper
ty aud rights Of the people; calling upon all
good citizens North and South to assist in the
maintenance of peace and order, and offering
sympathy to their suffering fellow-citizens in

Dec. III. 1874 DR. Peters Writka:

date Of Queenstown, Otago, New Zealand
Dec. II, 1874. DR.. Peters writes:
'In the morning kilograms dropped in from
all parts of the Island, announcing rain
here, clouds there, clouds all over New Zea
land, and cloudy also at Queenstown. 1t was
| also overcast at this station till two minutes
| before the beginning Of contact. The sun
| then shone out and continued bright fol
nearly two hours" The letter continues
"By orders everybody did his duty silently
so silent in all that at my house (Quetoral),
sixty feet off, one could distinctly hear the
springing of the Photographic slide, every
clasp announcing one picture more. In my
enclosure l continued to measure the distance
of Venus and the suns limits; then after the
planet had far advanced upon the disk, took
advantage of the occasion for measuring with
the double mecrometer the apparent diameter
ofVenus
"Thus was determined, for the first time as
believe since the creation of the world, the
real size of Venus with accuracy of about the
three-hundreth part of its value. During the
latter part Of its transit, floating clouds inter-
fired, but photographs were taken as often as
gap revealed the sun. In all two hundred
ana thirty-nine pictures were taken in
the last sixteen minutes before egress.
When all was over" says the Doctor, " I called
together the assistants to give three hearty
cheers, and to dip three times our glorious
flag"
Very meagre success was attained by any
other New Zealand party.

ADJUSTMENTS

ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-'Led Astray," one Of
the most charming of emotional plays, was
played last night at the Academy of Music by
the Lingards, to very fair audience. Miss
Alice Dunning, as Camille, added new laurels
to her already established reputation as q
charming and pleasing actress. Miss Dickie
Lingard enacted Helene very acceptably.
The Achille de Keronare of Mr.. Lingard
was an excellent Characterization. Messrs.
R. G. White, E. F. knowles and Geo. Gastin
were very clever in their respective parts. and
Miss Minnie Jackson excelled, we think, all
of her previous efforts. Tonight the Lin
CARDS take farewell benefit; this announce
ment we feel assured VIII evoke la rye at

ST. CHARLES THEATEE. Help" with Muir

GAyETY THEATEE.-The entertainment last
night at the Gayety Theatre was of excep-
tional character and evoked hearty applause
from the large audience present. Manager
Flyrn's efforts to provide first-class variety
theater have been abundantly rewarded, and
the Gayety is now the recognized favorite
place of resort An immense bill is offered
every night.
VARIETIES THFATEE.-Mr. Jos. K. Emmett
has made decided hit here. His versatility
and rich voice could hardly fail to meet with
that appreciation they deserve, especially
when they are set in such o background of
artistic action and grace of manner AS Fritz,
last evening, ne was extraordinarily good, and
won renewed high opinions from those who
already had expressed their appreciation of
his powers of personation. The support was
fully up to the necessities of their parts, and
made Fritz fully as effective as we have ever
seen 1t.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE large dry dock
was sunk to take on the Pennsylvania for re-

overturned it, considerable damage done; she
lies on her side, and several days will elapse
before she is righted; one workman is miss
ing. This being the only dock on the Della

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD IN CALIFoRNI

| SAN DIEGO, CAL, Feb. 9.-The feeling in
California is growing very strong in favor of
the Texas Pacific Railroad. The PRESS in all
parts of the State, favor SCOTS bill for the
completion of the Southern overland line
The San Francisco Bulletin says .'We are
being devoured calmly, leisurely and system
atically by great national enterprise which
has become very close private corporation.
There is no relief for US except in compe-
tition. This is the view of the case taken by
all who are large enough to take in the whole
country. If there is any ground upon which
the Southern continental bill stands, it is
that of competition. If the bill be properly
guarded, Tom Scott would no. in reality be
the recipient of one dollar of the public
money.
The Daily Union condemns the action OF
the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in
telegraphing to Washington a resolution IA
vorlng the Central Pacific proposition for ex-
tending the Southern Pacific Railroad in com.
petition with the Texas Pacific scheme. 1t
says:
1.-The Chamber appears to have been cap
tured by railroad monopoly. But it is sat
isfactory to know that only ten persons were
present at its meeting, Of whom three OPP
posed the action taken. The resolution does
noes not represent the public sentiment Of
Los Angeles"
The Union adds that at the recent meeting
OF the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
there were only twenty-five members present,
of whom only about half voted in favor of
resolutions indOrsing the Southern Pacific
scheme. These pretended expressions of pub.
lie sentiment are very thin, and may be APP
propriately classed with the recent fraudulent
grangers dispatch.
The monopoly has become desperate which
resorts to such expedients. The activity of
its agents shows how very real they regard |
the danger of competition. If there is sin
gle proposition that would sweep the States
from Oregons border to the Colorado |
River by an almost unanimous popular vote,
1t is one favoring the government assistance
asked for by SCOTS Texas Pacific Railroad,
as an Independent competing road. That is
the way the people feel. No matter what
dozen men in San Francisco or Los Angeles
may say over the seals Of the Chambers Of
Commerce at the dictation Of Leland Stan
ford, OF what hired organs may affirm or
deny"

Prof. Tyndall's Fireman,s Respirator.

| The Manchester Examiner of January p,
has the following: A firemans respirator is
one Of our latest scientific inventions, or rath.
er adaptations. The means for enabling per-
sons to breathe in dense smoke or poisonous
vapor have often engaged attention, and while
| not few contrvances have been tried, most OF
them have failed in what may be called prac-
teal operations Prof TyIdall now comes
forward with his freman's hood, and as he
has already secured the cooperation of Cap
tain Shaw, the chief officer of the Met sopolitan
Fire Brigade, he may at least count on his in
vention being thoroughly tested.
The hood is supplied with respirator
consisting of a valve chamber and filter tube
about four inches long, screwed on outside,
with access to it from the inside by wooden
mouth-piece. The respiratory agency con-
slst OF cotton wool saturated with glycerine
and lime and charcoal
The glycerine acts on the smoke particles,
and the charcoal on the hydro-carbon devel-
oped in vapors, and Prof. Tyndall declared
that after putting them together he found
that he could go into an atmosphere of the
most atrocious character, and could olive for
an hour in place where he could not unpro-
tected have existed for a single minute;
The Professor limited that the invention or
adaptation mightadmit of practical" develop
ment, and this is really the point of most i'm
portance. Firemen must not only be enabled
to breathe with the hood on, but they must be
able to move about with comparative freedom,
and without any fear Of the apparatus getting
out OF working order. A perfect continuance OF
this kind would, it is obvious be of immense
use in saving of life and property wnen en-
dangered by fire, not only on land but on
sea. Hitherto. unfortunately, they have
proved Inventions, and nothing more
