A Religious Question.

The Belgian journals are warmly dis
cussing an incident which lately accrlrr-
ed at Huy. One of the pupils of the
training college, on receiving the com
munion with his comrades, took the
wafer out of his mouth, pocketed it,
and afterward exhibited it in the play
ground, telling his companions they
might see it was only bread. After "a
discussion as to what should be done
with it, he resolved to eat it with muf-
fin. Three days afterward a fire, the
origin of which cannot be discovered
destroyed the college, and some of the
scholars, regarding this as judgement,
revealed what had passed, the clerical
papers take the same view of the fire,
while other journals blame the priests
for forcing young men by moral and
material pressure to feign sentiments
and take part in rites in which they do
not believe

FORBIDDEN GROUND.

Gen. Sherman has been interviewed
in regard to the course of the govern
ment towards the miners in the Black
Hills, and says that expeditions will be
prevented from entering that region, or
if any get In they will be driven out as
Soon as the weather will permit.
Troops will be put in the field with in
structions to prevent incursions into the
Sioux reservations, and these instruc-
tons will be carried out by force of
aims if need be. The integrity of the
treaty with the Sioux will be maintain
ed at all hazards. The General said
that the frontier people complain of
Indian raids, yet in this case do not
seem to see the injustice of their own
acts, which are modelled after the
Indian mode of acquiring property.
If necessary, troops will be sent to
bring out the party now in the Hills.

vertised to leave Bismarck for the Black

Dirt in the Atmosphere.

Dirt does not seem to be merely of
the earth, earthly. The Swedish Polar
traveller Nordenskjoid, has discovered
that small particles of dirt are con-
stantly floating about in the space of
the upper air, forming a sort of cosmic
dust. His report states that on the oc-
casion of an extraordinary snowfall at
Stockholm, in December, 1871, he was
curious to ascertain whether the snow,
although apparently pure, did not con
tain some solid particles. When it had
been falling several days, and must,
therefore, have removed from the at
mosphere the greater part of its i'm
pTTities, he collected upon sheet a
cubic meter of fresh snow, which, on
fusion, left, as he found, a small, solid
residium. This consisted of a black
powder resembling coal dust Heated,
it yielded products of distillation, caldin-
ed it was reduced to brown-red ash. 1t
contained, moreover, number of me-
tallic particles attracted by the magnet
and giving all the reactions of iron.
The experiment, made in the vacinity
of a large city, was not deemed suffi-
GENTLY conclusive; and it was conse-
quentiy frequently repeated during the
Swedish polar expedition In 1872, in
about the 80th degree of latitude, with
precisely similar results. The exami-
nation of the snow which covered the
icebergs, hs wing evidently come down
from still higher ATTITUDES, showed also
that it was strewn with multitude of
minute black particles, spread over the
surface and lodged in the lower starta.
This powder, which became gray IN
drying. included large proportion of
metallic particles. In the course of
the expedition Mr.. Nordenskjoid was
able to collect several million grammes
of this substance which, subjected to
to chemical analysis, was found to con
tain iron, phosphorus, cobalt, and prob
ably nickel, with residue insoluble in
chlorhydric acid. The powder thus col
lected on the Polar sea, to the north of
Spitzoergen, exhibits the greatest an
alogy with the dust previously observed
by Mr. Nordenskioid on the SHOWS of
Greenland, and described by him under
the name of Kryo Kointe. 1t will be re-
membered that a few months ago Mr..
Tissandier, in the atmospheric dust
which he gathered at Paris, also found
notable quantity of iron. This dis
covery of cosmic dust is interesting
in its bearing upon the theories In re-
gard to shooting stars, the aurora
borealis, sun-haze and other physical
phenomena, and in the part which this
importation to the earths surface of
new matter, slight in quantity, but
economy of our globe.

Sand Snow.

From the n. Y Fulton Times.
A singular phenomenon occurred in
this vicinity Wednesday, week ago to
day. A severe snow storm, with mod
crate temperature and light but gradu-
ally increasing wind, prevailed during
the day. About one P. NJ. along with
the descending snow, came dirty
ye1lowish substance, in the form of
powder, which Zen collected and dried
had very much the appearance of the
dust of the streets in summer. Mr.. G.
F. Foster of this village brought in a
sample. 1t was deposited from per-
haps a quart of the snow melted which
fell in the some connection, and was
then taken out and dried. There was
about an ordinary thimbleful of it. 1t
was without taste or odor, and was of
impalpable fneness. From all portions
of this living village and Oswego Falls
we hear of the phenomenon occurring,
and from several miles vest, which was
the direction the wind came from. The
fall of "sand snow," some observers
designated it, continued about eight
minutes, and appears to have been sim
ultaneous throughout the territory
from which we have heard.

since the first opening of the former
elegant place of amusement, some three
years since, at which time the Musical
Society threw down the gauntlet and
challenged war for popular favor, by
rebuilding the Academy (then called
Music Hall), decorating it in magnif
cent style, and otherwise making it in
all respects the equal of the Opera
House. Mr.. Nunnemacher promptly
accepted the gage and Immediately set
about connecting plans to ''fret the
souls of his fearful adversaries." The

"The Heart of the Andes -

From the Springfield (Mass) Union.
One of the spiciest bits of gossip
which has recently gotten out of the
bag relates to the Artist Church's great
picture, "The Heart of the Andes" A
fine engraving of it from the original
by William Forrest, and on exhibition
by Gill & Hays, brings the story to
mind. Chnrch, like other artists, for
obvious reasons, doesn't want copies of
his best works to go out of the world;
and Forests engraving was the only
copy of this picture authorized by its
author. Church's studio at New York
is open to the public only at certain
hours, and then to none but those who
have tickets. A person is in constant
attendance to see that no harm is done
to the valuable collection, and he is
also supposed TO prevent copies from
being made. A brother artist was a
frequent visitor, and at last came to be
so familiar that he was one day left
alone near 1.-The Heart of the Andes. !"
Being probably little flushed with
wine or something more potent, his
evil genius prompted him to sketch the
great picture. He made two copies and
got out unobserved. The copies he
eolored, and by some means one
came to this city and one went to Hart
ford. Church discovered the rape, got
on the trail of one of the copies and
followed it to shop in this city, where
it was left to be framed. lie was 5ncOg.
and asked to see "that picture of The
Heart of the Andes. OF course, it was
produced. A sudden sweep of the ar
lists hand and the stolen copy was dam
aged beyond repair. But there was still
the other copy, and it was thorn IN the
flesh to Church that he could not DIS
cover its whereabouts. Some time al
terward a gentleman of this city, who
was at his studio remarked to Church
that he had seen "The Heart of the
Andes" elsewhere. OF course Church
denied the possibility of such thing.
"But own it myself, replied the gen
tlemar, who had somehow gotten the
Hartford copy. Then Church knew
where the only colored copy of this
great picture could be found, but it was
in vain he tried to purchase it. Its
owner would take no price, and Church
is till unhappy. SO runs the story, and
it is good enough to be believed.
To CLEAN an oil-painting that is in
lured by dust and particles of wrapping
paper, take the picture out of the
frame, lay coarse towel over it for ten
or fourteen days; keep it continually
wet until it has drawn out all the filth
ness from the picture; pass some lin
seed oil which has been long time
seasoning over it, i'll the sunlight, to
purify it, and the picture will become
as lively on the surface as new.
